the fashion OF his native language. How
this Polish sailor learned to speak English
will be Of interest to those who admire his
style in writing. He could not read the

With the Bible as a text book and some

Morgan and Pettus.

Folks may poke as much fun as they
please at Senator John 7. Morgan of
Alabama about his extravaganza in
length of speeches, but one thing cock
sure-they can't accuse that venera-
bic statesman Of extravaganza in cam
paign funds His last nomination for
the senate cost him precisely $50.
Think of that, especially in connection
with the further fact that in Alabama
a nomination at the hands of the Dem
ocrats is equivalent to an election!
General Morgan thinks he has good
joke on his senate mate, General Pet
tus, because Pettus spent So more to
secure a senatorial nomination than he
did. If everybody did as Generals
Morgan and Pettus do, there would be
absolutely no use for corrupt practices
acts or publicity bills or anything Of
the sort.

be apparent to even a casual observer.
The wholesale discharge of the colored
troops was water for his wheel, and he
may be depended on to make all out OF
it there is in it. The Penrose resolu-
ton will be forgotten, but the Foraker
resolution may cut as big figure in
history as the WiIlmot proviso.
In the meantime some of the politi-
cal prognosticators are trying to make
it appear that Governor Elect Charles
Evans Hughes OF, New York is a presi-
Dental probability. They evidently dc
not judge the future by the past. New
York has had many Republican gov
ernors, all sorts of men. Only one of
em-Theodore Roosevelt-was ever
nominated for president, and it is safe
to say that he would never have been
nominated but for the assassination of
Mckinley. 1t is a notorious fact that
in New York all great parties have
been rent with feuds from the very
beginning of things political. Repub-
lican national conventions have, with
two exceptions noted, steered clear of
New York to escape the feuds and are
likely to do SO again. If Governor
Hughes ponders these things, he will
not be unduly elated by the. talk of his
nomination for president.

Presidential Politics.

They are jockeying for position. By
"they, in that sentence is meant the
aspirants for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination. AS soon as the ven
cradle DR.. Edward Everett Hale, chap
lain of the senate, had said .Amenw
in his invocation on Dec 3 two states
men were on their feet clamoring for
recognition. Senator Boies Penrose of
Pennsylvania and Senator Joseph Ben
son Foraker of Ohio. Whether acct
dentally or on purpose is not known,
but Mr. Vice President Fairbanks rec
ognzed Penrose first, and he pumped
in a resolution of inquiry to the presi-
dent asking the wherefore Of the
wholesale discharge of colored troops.
Then Foraker pumped in his resolu
ton of inquiry to Mr. Secretary of
War William H. Taft demanding Of
that functionary the why of the same
transaction. What purpose Penrose
was animated by perhaps nobody will
ever know, for the most heated mag
nation never pictured him as presi
Dental candidate, but it requires no
particular acuteness of intellect to
guess what Foraker was up to. He is
a presidential candidate in dead ear
nest, one with whom the rest of the
Republican presidential candidates
must reckon betwixt now and the dog
days of 1905 Anybody that eliminates
in his own mind Senator Foraker from
the presidential equation will grope in
the dark constantly. By his resolution
he sought to kill two birds with one
stone first, to secure for himself the
support of negroes; second, to kill off
his Ohio rival, Secretary Taft. If he
succeeds in accomplishing those two
purposes, he will have enhanced his
own chances very much. If this inn
broglio about the colored troops re-
moves Taft as a presidential posi-
bflity, Foraker has cinch on the
Buckeye delegation without more trou-
BILE, which would enable him to devote
himself to rounding up delegations
elsewhere. If the negroes are solidly
for him, they can give him the dele
gates from eleven states and aid him
materially in securing other delegates.
So 1t IS readily seen that Senator Fora
ker is playing for big stakes and that
his move is bold even to temerity.
1t will be remembered by those who
read these letters that I stated some
time ago that. in my judgment, as early
as the summer Of 1905 Senator Fora
ker made up his mind that his only

a Distinguished Visitor.

Mark Twain, the most celebrated
Missourian that ever lived as well as
the most famous American author, was
in Washington recently for several
days on business with congress. He
said himself that he was lobbyist,
and l say that he was a lobbyist In
the best sense of that word. His mis-
sion was to explain to senators and
representatives his ideas as to the
copyright on books, which he had a
perfect right to do and what every
body was glad to have him do. Wheth-
er he made much Roadway as to the
sort of copyright law that he wants
remains to be seen, but that he receiv-
ID a royal welcome at the hands of
all who met him and made many peo-
pie happy by giving them chance to
shake the hand which wrote 1.-THE

The Jew In Politics.

The appointment of Oscar StrauS to
a cabinet position has called forth a
considerable quantum of words about
the handful of Jews who have held
high political positions in this country,
but no hint has been given of the real
Importance of the fact, which is that
the Jews generally are taking more in
terest than formerly in public affairs,
surely healthy sign Of the times, for
it is not desirable that any large body
of our people should feel no interest in
politics 1t is true that Oscar Straus
is the first Jew to fill a cabinet position
in the federal government, but a great
er Jew than he held two cabinet port
folios under Jefferson Davis, president
of the Southern Confederacy. That
was Judah Peter Benjamin, one of the
most brilliant men of his time indeed,
if it would be an extravaganza to say
the most brilliant He was famous as
a United States senator and lawyer be-
fore entering the Confederate cabinet
thor in London after quitting America.
benjamin on Sales is still standard
text book. Many critics assert that
Benjamin's farewell address to the
United States senate when he an
nounced the secession of his state,
Louisiana, and his own resignation
was the most eloquent of that series
of memorable farewell addresses. He
was born in one of the West Indies is
lands belonging to England. At the
close of the civil war he began life
anew in London and rose to high dis
tinction at the bar.
David Yulee of Florida served ten
years in the house as David Levi and
three terms in the senate as David
Levi Yulee, the only public man in
America to change his name after
achieving any considerable eminence.
OF course everybody knows that the
real name of Senator Mitchell Of Ore
gon was John Ripple, to which he add
ed Mitchell when he left Pennsylvania
and went west. Yulee was the second
Jew to sit in the senate
Other Jews who have reached the
senate are B. F. Jonas of Louisiana,
Joseph Simon of Oregon and Isidor
Rayner Of Maryland. BY common con-
sent Rayner is counted as one of the
crack orators of the senate. He served
several terms in the house, but his
most famous spectacular performance
was his defense of Admiral Schley,
which most likely gave him his sena
torial toga.
In the house there are always in
these latter days some Jews. General
Meyer of Louisiana is serving his four
teenth year and has been reelected.
He is now what Colonel Charles Ere
mont Cochran of st. Joseph, Mo, was
in the habit of calling AN old and ex-
perienced member" There are others
Littauer of New York, Kahn Of Cali
fornia, Goldfogle of New York and
Knopf of Chicago; certainly those,
perhaps others that wot not of,

Certain Pittsburgers in their anger
at Secretary of the Treasury Leslie NJ.
Shaw by reason OF the fact that he did
not choose the site of a public building
just where they desired it seem to have
thrown discretion to the winds. One
of the papers refers to him sneeringly
as a prairie lawyer and country
banker" He was unauestionably both
of those things, but since when did
the terms prairie lawyer" and sscoun-
try banker" become terms of reproach
Is a lawyer any ADLER because he hap
pens to live in the mountains or among
the hills? Is a banker any more capa-
Bile because be happens to live in
city rather than in the country?
Does breathing the smoke of Pittsburg
give a man mental acumen? Surely
that would be a most violent and pre-
poSterous assumption. These wratny
Pittsburgers should remember that one
Abraham Lincoln, who cut somewhat
of a swath from 1861 to 1865, was only
a prairie lawyer prior to that time
and that many of our most celebrated
statesmen were prairie lawyers" AS
to country bankers" they have DEM
onstrated the fact that they are up to
snuff financially as well as their city
brethren. The chances are that Secre-
tary Shaw thwarted certain large and
juicy speculations in real estate by Sc
lecting site which, in his opinion,
would be most convenient to the most
people. He may or may not have snap
ped his fingers in the face of the presi-
dent of the board of trade as is alleg-
ed. Ifso, no doubt he had good cause,
for the papers had been abusing him
sayagely for several days, and prairie
lawyers and country bankers" have
the same rigbs to resent abuse as have
other men. That Secretary Shaw had
any other purpose than to serve the
public will not be believed for one mo-
ment by anybody that knows him. He
may have been wrong in selecting the
site. do not know enough about the
geography or topography of Pittsburg
to pass on that question. But if he was
wrong it was because he was misled
by the evidence. Secretary Shaw's pol
itics is bad, but nobody knowing the
man has ever questioned his integrity
or his ability.

Especial Washington letter.
we URING the campaign President
B @ Samuel Gompers of the Amer
EN lean Federation of Labor in
vaded the congressional dis.
trict of Hon. Charles 3. Littlefield OF
Maine and did his utmost to defeat
that distinguished statesman. In 1904
Littlefeld received over 5000 majority
This year his majority was little
above 1000 a considerable falling off
surely, but shortly after that election
Brother Littlefield declared that he
was helped rather than hurt by the as
sault Of President Gompers. Mr.. Chair
man James S. Sherman also declared
that President Gompers' opposition
helped Littlefield, but nevertheless il
was noted by close observers that Mr.
Chairman Sherman and the rest Of the
Republicans carefully avoided inviting
President Gompers to come into their
districts and fight them, which was
precisely what they would have done
had they really believed that Gompers
helped Littlefeld by fighting him.
Now, if Gompers had no influence on
the voters a very strange thing has
come TO pass, and that is that he has
much influence on representatives in
congress. If he has no influence on
voters, why should he have influence in
congress? Will Brother Littlefeld or
Brother Sherman answer that? I am
sure that can prove by Brother Little
field that President Gompers has inffu
ence in the house, for when Brother
Littlefeld forced his pilotage bill to a
vote the other day on the stand up vote
he had a substantial majority for his
bill, but on roll call, where every mans
name goes down in history, there was
an overwhelming majority against the
bill. Why that remarkable and sudden
change in the minds of representa-
tives? President Gompers was against
it-thats all, and that's fact No. / as
to the influence of President Gompers
Fact No 2 is that when Hon. John
Il. Hunt, Democrat, of st. Louis called
up LIS Jill 10 pIcNcAL lAlSISIdl0 Cal
riers from carrying convict made goods
into states prohibiting the sale of the
same the opposition to it was pitiable
in it's weakness, only half a dozen
speaking against it in half hearted
manner and only three voting against
it. The wherefore of that unusual APP
proach to unanimity was the fact that
President Gompers and all the mil
lions of unionized labor were in favor
of the bill. Hunt was the father of
the bill, and he made a strong. con-
sentative and convincing speech in its
behalf. 1t is a great pity that he IS
not to be in the Sixtieth congress, but
it's 10 to / shot that he will be in
the Sixty-first congress and in several
succeeding congresses.
Rejecting upon the foregoing facts,
it seems that Messrs. Littlefeld, Sher-
man ct al. will be compelled to revise
their yerdicts as to the influence of
President Samuel Gompers.

A Bird In the Hand.

Speaking of Morgan and Pettus
brings Captain Richmond Pearson
Hobson to mind. After two redhot
fights he succeeded in defeating for re
nomination that veteran representative
in congress, Colonel John III. Bank
head Thereupon at the primary cleo
ton last summer the Democrats of
Alabama nominated Colonel Bankhead
as alternate senator for Generals Nor
gan and Pettus, which means that if
either of them should resign, die or be
expelled from the senate Bankhead
would succeed him. Should that oc-
cur Captain Hobson will have much
food for reflection upon the fact that
he could have secured nomination as
alternate senator with much less ex
penditure Of time, money, eloquence
and energy than was necessary to de-
feat Colonel Bankhead for seat in
the house. One Of my most brilliant
constituents, Colonel Nat c. Dryden,
was wont to say that "a bird in the
hand is the noblest work Of God"
Perhaps Captain Hobson reasoned that
way.
