Remarks Which Were Extended.

OF course, as it suggests, there are
gross abuses of leave to extend re-
marks in the Record" and of sleave
TO print" where no speech is made at
all, but it is impossible to draw the
line.
I remember once that General Joe
Wheeler of Alabama, who was an in
the Record, spoke for two minutes
all the time he had-and then, varying
the formula in such cases made and
provided, asked leave to ''round out his
remarks in the Record" A facetious
member, General Grosvenor, / think,
objected unless General Wheeler
should agree not to consume more than
twenty-six pages of the Record in his
rounding OUT performance, and
Wheeler promptly agreed. The fact re-
mains, however, that no members
speeches in a quarter of century con-
tain more information, valuable at
that, than General Joe Wheeler's.
There is a tradition to the effect that
John G.. Carlisle never uttered in the
house one word of that great speech in
favor Of free silver which appeared in
the Congressional Record in 1873 and
which was more quoted than any other
speech on that side. Nobody ever did
or ever could answer it, though many
essayed SO to do. Carlisle himself in
1896 came nearer to answering it than
anybody else ever did. He enjoys the
peculiar distinction of being the author

and of the best speech against it. The

a New Executive Mansion.

Annually, it may be oftener, the sub
ject of building a new home for the
president is preached. The same argu-
ments pro and con are used perennial
ly. The question is to the fore again.
Senator Foraker of Ohio has intro
duced a bill to purchase 437, 900 square
feet of land in a most eligible part of
Washington and to appropriate $780,
600 to pay for the same, to be used as
"a government reservation" Every
body understands that it is intended
as a site for new presidential home.
1t was supposed, and not unnaturally,
that when 100000 was recently ex-
pended in remodeling and improving
the historic old White House, and the
new executive offices (for the presi-
dents use) were erected at a cost of
some $63.000, we had heard the last
about the new home for our presidents.

however. The talk goes on, and the
Foraker bill will increase the chatter.
President Roosevelt has no personal
interest in the plan. for even if he is
elected this year and serves out that
full term of four years he will never
inhabit the proposed home, because,
judging the future by the past, it will
not be completed. if begun at once.

citizen might have a million or ten

Senator Rayner.
Isidor Rayner, the new United States
senator from Maryland. is one OF the
most brilliant men In American pub
lie life. Some years ago he served
term or two in the house of representa-
tives at Washington, where he &C
quilted himself handsomely and left
high reputation as an orator. When
the time came to select somebody to
lead off in debate in favor of the gold
standard in August, 1898. it was re-
ported that Bourke Cochran was very
DESTROYS of enjoying that honor, but
Rayner objected that Bourke had new
er studied the financial question seri-
ously, while he, Isidor. had put In his
days and nights mastering its intrica-
cies. At any rate. Rayner opened the
debate Since quitting congress at high
noon March 4, 1896. his most distin-
guishcd performance was his defense
Of Admiral Schley. which perhaps sent
him to the senate. 1t has always been
said that Rayner refused to accept any
fee in that cause ceIebre, which had a
tendency to promote his political inter-
ests. Rayner is a Jew and will be the
fifth to serve Ia the senate of the Unit
ed States. 1t is not at all infrequent
for Hebrew to be elected to the more
numerous branch of the national leg
islature. 1t is a ten to one shot that
Rayner will distinguish himself as a
senatorial orator, just as his Mary
land mate. Arthur Pue German. has
distinguished himself as political
manager, counselor, philosopher and
friend. 1t will be great pair to draw
to.
