Of the younger democrats in the house
but he is recognized as one of the safest
leaders and his resolution calling for
the post Office investigation, which was
responsible for all The recent rumpus,
has still further enhanced his prestige.
For three congresses now Hay has
been chairman of the democratic eau
Gus, and if anything were to happen
to John Sharp Williams the chances
are that Hay would succeed Williams
as the democratic leader on the floor.
He is not "a flowery orator and makes
no pretence> at anything of the kind,
but when he talks he carries conviction
and there is no man in the house who
has greater success in securing the
enactment of legislation outside of par
ty lines.
Hay belongs to the practical group of
southern statesmen, among whom Cor
man, of Maryland, and Martin, of Vir-
ginia, are excellent types. If he came
from a northern state he would I'M
doubtedly take rank among the leaders
of the national democratic organiza-
ton.

build out the CAPT.
tol along the contemplated plans and
that it will take several years to COM
plete the restoration.
The scheme is to carry out on the
east front of the capitol an addition
which will increase the accommoda-
lions by nearly one-third, but which,
in spite of it's ambitious character will
hardly affect the general appearance of
the structure so that the average OBJ
server would notice the difference. The
addition will cover a large part of the
plaza where crowds have gathered ev-
cry four years, time out of mind, to
see the newly elected president make
his inaugural address. The marble
facing will cover at last from view the
unsightly stucco work of the older part
of the building and will bring the en-
tire front of the great structure into
perfect harmony and maze it in real
ity what it has long pretended to be,
the most beautiful and impressive pub
lie building in the world.
In the course of the improvement the
rotunda, now dingy and cheap in it's
decorations, will be lined with rare
marbles, which will bring that also in
to harmony with the dignity of the
purpose Of the capitol.

Wynne there would have been no post
al investigation and if it had not been
for his stubborn persistence after the
investigation began it would not have
gone so far as it did and would have
not uncovered the full extent of the
rascality of Beavers, Machen and their
associates.
the president that first drew the presi-
dents attention to the condition of at
fairs in the department, and it was
Wynne's revelations to the postmaster
general which first brought him to a
realization of what was going on
among his subordinates.
Mr.. Bristow happened to be the
fourth assistant postmaster general in
charge of the force of post Office in
spectors, to whom as a matter of ad-
ministrative detail the work of inves-
tigation had to be assigned But Bris-
tow was put in charge of detective
work at Wynne's request and the scope
of Bristow's investigation was extend
ed beyond mere perfunctory exami-
nation into specific charges by Wynne's
shrewdness and courageous persistence
1t was against Wynne that the at
tacks of the combined forces of the
grafters were first directed and Wynne
is still the special object of their re-
sentiment and vindictiVeness; yet curl
ously enough one result of the inves-
tigation has been to lessen the prestige
of the Office of first assistant postmas-
ter general and to diminish the respon-
sibility of the man who is responsible
for putting the department on a firm
business footing for the first time in 30
years. The post Office committee of the
senate has awakened to what was 60
ing on and has amended the post
Office appropriation bill SO as to restore
to the first assistant postmaster general
some of the duties of which he had
been deprived.

that nobody is seriously smirched. But

whatever the finding of the special
committee, it is bound to receive ere,
dence in the house and through the
country on account of the high stand
ing of the man who is at the head of it.
Representative Mccall has a reputa-
ton all his own in the house, earned
by years of faithful service and by in
dependent exercise of an honest Judg-
ment. Mr.. Mccall is one of the men
who, though an undOubted partisan,
has never been suspected of slavish
subserviency to the party machine.
From the day he entered congress he
has never hesitated to vote against re-
publican measures which did not meet
his full approval
Speaker Reed in his later years was
a close friend and great admirer OF the
Massachusetts congressman. When Mr..
Mccall, alone of all his party asso-
ciates, voted against the resolution
precipitating the war with Spain, Reed,
who as speaker had to sit silent and
see the resolution 60 through, drew
him aside into the speakers room at
the close of the session and, closing the
door behind him, exclaimed with a
shadow of regret in his voice: Mccall,
how I envy you the luxury of that
vote!"
1t can be imagined that consistent
following out of such policy has not
tended to make the Massachusetts, rep
resentative especially popular in his
own party however much he may be
respected, but the general willingness
on both sides of the house to accept
his conclusion in the pending investi-
CATION shows that even an independent
member of congress may have his uses.

hot weather sets
in, the managers of the senate have set
out in good faith to carry that deter
mination into effect. The result is a
speed in legislation which makes even
the old-timers about the halls of con-
gress open their eyes in surprise.
Legislation by unanimous consent
has long been regarded as one of the
peculiar prerogatives of the upper
branch of congress, but until the pres
ent session nobody fully realized to
what an extent it could be carried
when there was a general disposition
to abandon Washington to the discom-
forts of summer. Appropriation bills,
which ordinarily would take weeks for
consideration in committees and dis
cussion on the floor, have this time
taken hardly as many days, and there
has been no appearance of undue haste
Or of mad eagerness to get through at
that.
