about Cockrans style that is all
compelling while he is on his feet. He
may not carry permanent conviction,
but the charm Of his speaking is ire
sistible. When Cochran was here be-
fore he made his biggest nit by fervid
defense of President Cleveland, that
fairly swept the house off its feet. That
was in the last year CT Cleveland's first
term when the new election was coming
on. Four years later, at the Chicago
democratic convention Cochran made
another speech,& which is perhaps the
most extraordinary convention speech
ever delivered. 1t was three o'clock in
the morning, after the convention had
been bowling mob for hours and after
they had hooted down every oratorical
light in the party. The confusion was
simply indescribable. 1t was a Cleye-
land convention but they would not lis
ten even to those who tried to speak for
Cleveland When Cochran arose he had
not spoken three minutes before he had
the entire convention of 20, 600 people as
still as a church, and he held them thus
for nearly an hour. 1t was the most
brilliant attack on Cleveland as a can
didate that could be conceived Yet@it
did not affect single vote in the con-
vention. Cockran's speech ranks with
the speeches of Bryan of 1896,
of Ingersoll in 1876 and of Conk-
ling in 1880, as one of the half
dozen really great convention speeches.
AS pure personal proposition it was the
greatest of them all, for he mastered
and held hostile audience. Bryan
simply voiced the sentiment of his au-
dience, as nobody had been able to do
before.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1904-03-24
any man could wish. But with the body

any man could wish. But with the body
of Smithson there it is suggested that i,
would be equally fitting that the bodies
of other scientists who have won great
distinction in the government service
should also find resting place there be-
side him.
In short time the Smithsonian build
ing will no longer be necessary for the
purposes of the institution. Congress
is preparing to erect a new home for the
National museum which is connected
with the Smithsonian, and this will az
ford ample room for all the Smithson-
ian Offices. The original building, one
of the architectural ornaments of Wash
ington, will then be available for any
purpose to which the government may
see fit to put it, and the scientific men
who have been closely identified with
its work for many years will do all they
can to have it transformed into a me-
mortal hall, to contain the tombs of their
most eminent associates.
Alexander Graham Bell is interested
in the project So is Prof Langley. A
beginning would be made with the body
OF Smithson. Then the bodies of Henry,
Baird and Goode would follow, and soon
the thing would be an accomplished
fact.
1t is not intended that the plan shall
include memorials TO men who have
grown great in politics or war. That
would enlarge too far the possible list

1t? dent is extremely
anxious that due
honor should be paid to the emperor's
gift, for he realizes the meaning of
the compliment paid to the United
States by the German emperor in max
ing the gift. He has talked it over
with the secretary of war and the Ger
man ambassador, and it has been de-
cided to place the statue in the war
college grounds-the old arsenal
grounds down on the river near the
foot of Seventh street. That is be-
lieved to be the fitting place for it, as
Frederick was prominently soldier,
but duplication has arisen because the
proposition has been made to group
with the statue of Frederick the statues
of three other great soldiers. The names
suggested are Alexander the Great,
Julius Caesar and Napoleon. But there
is something about this suggestion which
does not appeal with much force to Tie
administration officials who have been
considering the matter. In the frs.
place, the proposition is little too war
like. In the second place, there is a
good deal of feeling against the idea of
putting up statue to Napoleon here IL.
Washington. The statue of Frederick
will be dedicated or the Goth or Oc-
tober. The president and the German
ambassador will make speeches.

100000 hall OF records down back Of
the war department in a location which
is distant from the ordinary lines OF
travel, announcement of access and un-
slightly. This was done because one or
two United States senators happened to
hold real estate IN that particular square,
and it was cOntrived in such quiet way
that unless the measure became law
before the fourth OF March, certain ap-
preparation bills would be allowed to
fail, thus making an extra session of
congress necessary.
The general feeling of disgust over
this little bit Of real estate manipulation
has set congress to thinking, and nothing
more Of that kind is likely to happen.
But there is almost equal Discrimination
to putting new buildings even in sites
which would otherwise be available so
long as Pennsylvania avenue remains
a reprOach to the builders of the Capital
city.
Senator Fairbanks, who reported a
bill for the construction of building to
be occupied by the departments of state,
justice and commerce, found somewhat
to his surprise very general opposition
to the proposal to locate the new build
ms on the square Of ground just oppo-
site the war and navy department and
the white house. a proposal which would
involve the condemnation of an entire
square, containing number of historic
houses like the Decatur house, the old
Corcoran art gallery and the temporary
white house, which witnessed the crea-
ton of the coal strike commission. Lo-
cal sentiment and the sentiment of
most of the leading men in the senate
was against the proposal and in favor
OF selecting site south of the avenue.
