member of the minority. That was the
way with Holman, of Indiana, whose per-
sistent reiteration of the simple words,
II object" gained for him the title of
the Great Director" Holman. during
the course of long career in the house,
prevented the passage Of more appropria-
lions than any other man before or since
and it is doubtful whether even an In
diana watch dog can hope to equal his
record; but Representative Hemenway-
that*ls the name of the man selected by
Mr.. Cannon for the thankfess job-will
have chance to use the pruning knife on
far bigger bills in the aggregate than Hol-
man ever dreamed Of.
Holman has been dead now nearly ten
years, after serving in the house of rep
resentatives for over 30 years. He lived
long enough to see the direful day on
which the appropriations of the govern
ment crossed the line that justified the
appeliation of the "billion dollar con-
gress."
That was crushing enough for him;
but his successor, Hemenway, is likely to
stay in congress long enough to see ap-
preparations run to the magnificent total
OF a billion dollars year, so rapid has
been the march of progress and so inces-
cant is the demand for money to keep the
machinery of the government in motion.

corps commanders, Gen. Sickles, who
commanded the Third corps; Gen. Gren-
vile M. Dodge, Of the Sixteenth corps,
and Gen. James H. Wilson, of the West
ern cavalry corps. - :.
= All of these commanders were in Wash
ington, and they had with them many of
the officers who served under them.
OF all the number the sturdiest in phys
ical appearance is . Gen. Grenville M.
Dodge, of Iowa, who is president of the
Society of the Army of the Tennessee,
and who, as chairman of the Sherman
statue committee, presided at the un-
yelling ceremonies. Gen. Dodge, with
his great bushy head and stocky build,
looked younger by ten years than some Of
the officers of the later day army who
grouped about him in uniform. He is as
fit physically to- take command of an
army as scores of officers 20 years his
junior, and he is as active captain of
industry now as he was just after the
close of the war, when as chief engineer
ofthe Union Pacific railroad he supervised
the building Of that road across the con-
tinent. Dodge bids fair to be the last
survivor Of the old guard Of civil war
chieftahs, and when he goes he is pretty
sure to be commemorated by monument
here in Washington, where he has just
supervised the construction of MEM

to 1861, and few men are left anywhere
either in public life OF out Of it. Sickles
was~a member of the. New York legisla-
ture away back in 1847, and he was a
member of congress from 1857 to 1861.
That was before he became soldier. r.
It was before he became soldier, too,
that the incident happend which gave
him a national notoriety of not very
enviable kind. It was Sickles who shot
down Phillip Barton Key just before the
war for cause which justified the shoot
ing in the minds of those who understood
the circumstances and of the jury which
brought in a verdict of acquittal. The
tragedy occurred just in front of the
house which was soon afterward &C.
cupied by William H. Seward, on Lafay-
cite square, in which James G. Blaine
died 30 years later, and which has since
been torn down to make way for the La
fayette opera house. 60,
It might have been thought that such
tragedy would bring to an end the
public career of the man who was respon-
sible for it; but not so with Sickles. He
made his military reputation in the civil
war, then he went to Spain as American
minister and since then has been mem
Der of congress and sheriff Of New York.
He is 70 years old now and as vigorous as

900 people 40 years Congressman Cannon
ago, and the best that congress can hope
to do is to watch with lynx-like eyes
every avenue of expenditure, SO as to save
all the money that Is possible. That is
the business of the appropriations COM
mittees of the house and the senate, and it
is a business that keeps them Thoroughly
occupied from the beginning to the end
of session.
Uncle Joe" Cannon, who has been
chairman of the appropriations commit
tee in the house for the last ten years has
combined the qualities needed in just
about the right proportion. He has been
| watchful and economical without fail
ing to understand the needs of the coun-
try's growth, and while Uncle Joe has
hurt the feelings of a great many men,
bers and caused countless heartburnings
by his rigid scrutiny of money bills, he
has contrived to keep the respect and ad-
miration of the house so that both re-
publicans and democrats Look up to him
as straight and square.
Sam Randall had much the same kind
of reputation while he was chairman of
the appropriations committee during the
period of democratic ascendancy. Ran
dali and Cannon have been the two great
chairmen of appropriations in the last 40
years. In the peculiar qualities which
90 with that craftsmanship nobody else
has approached them, although such men
as Thad Stevens, Elihu Washburn, Henry
l.. Dawes and James A. Garfield have &C.
cupied the position.
lit takes rugged honesty, great courage,
and a fine business instinct to make an
appropriations chairman.

drank with him. His Majesty of Hades
slew lamb, a lion, pig and an ape
to teach Noah that man, before wine is
in him, is lamb; when he drinks
moderately he is a lion; when he
drinks like sot he is swine, and
any excess after reaching that stage
makes him an ape that senselessly

are more likely to suffer from cancer
