eoMETHTNe OF THE PERSONAL
iTY OF THE LAW MAKERS
AT WASHINGTON
Senator Allison, of Course, is Foremost
In Point Of Length Of Service and
Influence Among the Other Members
of the Body.
ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
Washinqton Bureau of the Courier,

Washington, D. c., January "a.
AS a result of comparison with the
term OF a representative in the house
,of representatives the term of sena-
tor has come to be regarded as a long
tenure OF office, yet casual glance at
the congressional directories for few
years makes 1t clear that the senator
tal term is not a long one. For instance
the present senate has practically
grown up since the democratic over
throw in 1894. OF the men who were
In the senate at that time, Just twelve
REMAIN In that body today out of to-
ltal membership of eighty-nine. The
congressional directory affords some
interesting information with respect
to the old timers, who are arranged
according to length of service
OF course Iowa's beloved Senator
Allison heads the list, not only In point
of length of service, but in far-reaching
influence and power in the senate. He
has served continuously in the senate
since 1873, nearly thirty-three years,
having broken all previous records a
year ago. A newspaper man of wide
experience and high standing in Wash
ington, speaking Of Senator Allison, a
day or two since. said:
Alison's Long Service.
Senator Allison Is always opposed
to radical protective measures, at least
whenever he can do so without involv-
ing rumpus that would be more detri-
mental than the measure proposed. He
may be counted on to oppose the appli-
cation of a maximum schedule in the
shape of horizontal addition to the
present tariff as a means of retaliating
against Germany. He has always op-
posed subsidy bills but usually in his
exquisitely cautious way. When the
-Hanna-Frye subsidy bill was up three
tsor four years ago Senator Allison led
five other influential republican sena-
tors In opposition to the bill and the
influence of these six men was so great
that. notwithstanding the measure
carried in the senate, the bill was not
even reported in the house. Senator
Allison is an extremely useful man in
the senate to temper the extremes to
which party politics might otherwise
be carried. He will soon be " years
old but is exceptionally vigorous and
has undoubtedly many years yet ito
serve. All people in Iowa must admire
his sterling qualities and ripe judg-
ment, and all the people ought to re
joice that the country has had the
beneftFof his wisdom and conserva-

Canals Enemy lie Second.

John T. Morgan of Alabama comes
second on the list. He is now 81 years
old and is very bitter against the ad-
ministration because the canal is to be
built at Panama instead of at Nicara-
qua for which he, with Congressman
Hepburn fought with great vigor. He
is in favor of the present foreign pol
icy, however, and has voted with the
republicans on nearly all measures in
volving colonial acquisitions He also
stands with republicans in the senate
in opposing the election of senators by
popular vote. of the, people, asserting
that he is very fond Of the constitution
and desires to have at least a small
portion Of it left. He was bitter op
ponent Of President Cleyeland's admin.
fstration.
Senator HaIe's Record.
Eugene Hale is third on the list,
having become a senator the day Gar.
field was inaugurated. Hale is much
ADLER man than the people generally
credit him with being. Next to Sena-
tor Allison he is perhaps the most in.
fluential man in the senate. He is op-
posed to the increasing of government
functions and In taking of institutions
under the paternal wing that should be
operated by private individuals. The
bureau chiefs in the department do not
like him; he is a very practical and
business-like man and the country at
large Is under obligations to him for
services rendered in opposing certain
expenditures. He has been an able
supporter Of Senator Allison in pro.
tecting the national treasury.
Maine also furnishes the fourth man
on the list, as well as the third. Sen
ator Fry entered the senate the next
day after Senator Hale and yet for a
quarter of century he has been
known as the "junior senator from
Maine" Many people fail to under
stand the meaning of the terms "ju,
nior" and Senior" senators. They do
not refer to the age of the senator
nor to his latest election, but to the
date of his first service, If that ser
vice has been continuous. Thus Pettus
of Alabama, aged "a, is the junior sen
ator, and Beverage, aged 43, is the
senior senator in Indiana, although
younger than Senator Hemenway

COMMANDER 8. II. HARPER IN.
oUIREs WHAT BECAME OF
$4,000 PRISONERS
That Number Taken by Federal Troops
at vicksburg- Question Discussed In
National Tribune-coI. Clark May
Have No Opposition.

Inquiry as to what became of the
$4,000 prisoners taken by the federal
troops who took Vicksburg has been
made by Commander s. H. Harper Of
the department of Iowa, G. A. r., and
on his inquiry this question Is dis
cusscd ct some length in the National
Tribune. Iowa Is interested, for she
had more soldiers at Vicksburg than
any other state.
Said Commander Harper In his let
ter: I should like to know what be-
came Of the $4,000 prisoners that were
captured at Vicksburg? have never
seen full account of what disposition
was made of them. / have heard 1t
stated that the confederates annulled
the parole and forced them into the
confederate army. | have also heard it
stated that they were regularly ex-
changed before they entered the con-
federate army"
The National Tribune has replied to
Commander Harper that the violation
of the paroles of the prisoners cap
tured at Vicksburg was piece Of
grossly bad faith on the part of the
confederate authorities, and led to all
the trouble in regard to non-exchange
in the future. It appears to have been
deliberate and without any real pre-
text. Pemberton tried to make an ex-
cuse, charging Grant with failure to
keep agreements, but this was unjust
and unreasonable. Davis sorely needed
men anu all available were draft
ed for service in violation of paroles
and over the protest of federal ex-
chaneg agents.
