continues, met a friend and repeated
the picturesque description with
which he had been entertained, and
the story quickly reached the capitol,
rs much things will. The visitor arel
turned to his home, and local news
Epaper interviewed him about his trip
to Washington and his reception by
the president, Then out came the
story aboutSthe senator's. ,S55st
One Of the senator's who figured in
the tale let his indignation cool tor
a while, and then he called upon the
president, explaining that the latter
had been quoted as saying sog and
so, which, Of course, was iinpos.
| sible for a president of the United
States to say. about member ofH the
senate, " and requesting that the re-
port be denied, so that the people of
the state OF --=-----should be un-
der no misapprehension as to the press
ident S method Of discussing members
of a coordinate branch of the GOV
ernment nor as to the scnator's own
standing and reputatio.
The president, of course assured
the senator that the whole story was
fabrication, and soon afterward in
vited him to dinner, and to accompa-
ny the presidential party to the thea
tire on the same evening. 80
I The senator, wondering at this, for
him, uuaccustomed burst Of atten-
ton from the White House, asked i
colleague better used to these things
than himself what it was all about.
"Oh, replied the colleague, "your
vote is wanted for the--bill, which
is now before your committee. " 50
"Nonsensc - said the invited one.
And lie went to the dinner. ,s,.al<y
During the evening the president
brought the conversation around tO
his opinion on that important admin
istration measure. .. ..".s,a =
"Mr. Presidcnt,' answered the
senator, a." am opposed to the bill.'':
And since then he has not enjoyed
the distinction Of dining at the
White House. a moral is, | suppose,
that presidents must not indulge in
pleasantrics with worthy folk whose
art is kicking pigskin.
Tillman's Opinion of the President
Not Concealed.
| have mentioned some points Of
likeness in the president and Senator
Tillman. Just what the president
thinks Of the South Carolinian, to
whom Senator Dolliver frequently al
luded in this weeks debates as his
"honest fricnd,' DO not happen to-
know this evening, but the South Car
Gilman has opinions Of the president
which he docs not conceal. He shouts
them until the capitol rings with his
troubled cries.
Probably neither gentleman will be
flattered by any insistence upon like
ness with the other, but, as no Of
fence is intended, none, 1 am sure,
will be taken when it is said that you
have to make allowance for both men
they take the safety valve from their
impetuosity.
"The PRESIDENT said the senator,
in one of his speeches this week,
"goes great way in very little
while. He scolds the senate, abuses
us, almost insults us, accuses us Of
.insinccrity He mush be very badly
informed and miserably advised.
can pardon his impetuosity, for 1 re-
cognize the fact that he carries q great
burden, but he should not lightly
criticise and insult the senate"
What rejoinder could be more
naive Tillman rebul1ing impetus and
'whirlwinds!
And Senator Tillman, we must re-
member, has had al alliance with the
president thrust upon him!
The president, on the other hand,
is at times no tonderer with his allies
than Tillman with llis--if; they get
into the range Of the limelight.
