SENATOR II. G. HANsBRoUGH

Word comes from Minneapolis, Mimi
that Senator III. G.. Hansbrough, of
North Dakota, lies at a hotel in thai
city critically i'll.
The incident brings to mind the some
what remarkable career of the Senator
who, In the course of a few years, rose
from a country printer and journalist
to be a man of national Importance.
Leaving the San Francisco Chronicle
in the latter 70's, where he had been
employed as compositor and reporter,
he went east as far as Wisconsin and
in company with Joseph Brisco, founded
the Baraboo Bulletin, in the little city
since made famous by the Ringing
Brothers, of circus fame. But the ven
ture was a financial failure, and in 1852
they went to Dakota Territory and es-
tablished a paper at Grand Forks. After
conducting this sheet for two or three
years, with Indifferent success, Brfscoc
returned to Wisconsin, while Hans
brongh moved over to Devil 8 Lake and
Ia u COaA VNOAAy
When the territory was divided and
admitted as two states, the Senator was
elected to the national house of repre-
sentatives from North Dakota, serving
n term. In January, 1891, there was
a row in the Republican caucus at the
state capital between Jud LaMoure,
Alex McKensie, Denny Hannafin, and
several of the other leaders, and Hans
brough was finally agreed upon for
United States Senator as a compromise.
But during his first term he had sue
ceeded in making an enemy of practi-
cally every leading Republican politi-
clan in the state, and they succeeded
in carrying the Legislature of 1897
against him by a narrow margin.
But the Senator's good luck did not
forsake him. Ever energetic and
prompt, with his friends he arrived at
Bismark a day or two before the open
ing of the session, and the train he
went in On was the last for two or three
weeks. That night there came on a
terrific snow-storm and blizzard that
tied up every railroad in the state. The
ants being safely w-bound at Far
go, some 200 miles away, the friends
of Hansbrough organized the legisla-
ture and opend the session on schedule
time. They then telegraphed to the
Fargo contingent, offering them some
of the pie if they would be good and
come into camp and support the Sena-
tor. They submitted to the inevitable,
and in the senatorial caucus held later
in the session Hansbrough was the
unanimous choice for reelection.
However, at the last election North
Dakota adopted the same plan as did
Nevada, and submitted the senatorial
question to the popular vote, with the
result that Senator Hansbrough was
defeated. Blu. those who are ~acquaint
ed with the gentleman and his resource
f~ulness, have not yet despaired of his
election.

tee would hold daily sessions, say from

the sessions of the committee would be

If reversed, it would become
the duty of the committee to fix a

this manner the most inconspicuous

HOUSE RULES Will
BE AMENDED

WASHINGTON, Dec. Aft the con
census of opinion is a reliable guide,
here is the program which will be fol
lowed when the o1st congress organizes
for business next March; Joseph u.
Cannon Of Illinois will be re-eleete
speaker of the house, and the house
rules will be so amended as to deprive
the speaker of the vital power over
legislation which now reposes in his
hands.
From declarations, public and pri-
vate, it is apparent that a certain
number of members of the house are
committed to Cannon and the present
rules. Another certain number are
against both Cannon and the present
rules. Still another faction is in favor
of Cannon but against continuance of
the present rules. This third faction
holds the balance of power Without
its support Cannon could not win in the
Republican caucus. Without its sup
port the Anti-Cannon forces could Sc
cure none of the things they demand.
The Cannon forces, therefore, will have
to make concessions in the matter of
rules in order to secure these votes.
Those who demand both the overthrow
of Cannon and changes in the rules are
too small q minority to accomplish
anything alone. This clearly leaves
those who are willing Cannon shall re-
tain the speakership but insist upon
rule changes command the field. They
will in fact be able almost to dictate
the exact changes which shall be made
in the rules.
The difficulty is that even the hana-
full of members thus holding the bal
anee of power are not able to agre,
among themselves as to what changes
in the rules are desirable. There is
general agreement that the house com
mittee on rules should be enlarged
and its appointment taken out of the
hands of the speaker, but beyond that
there are almost as many minds as
Their are men.
There is no attempt to assert that
a larger committee on rules with its
members selected by the house instead
of by the speaker would prove an OBJ
stacle to legislation, but it must be
admitted that if some of the changes
proposed were adopted, the house would
be little better off than an ungoverp-
able mob. One of the changes pro
posed, for instance, is that the presens
restrictions on free debate be re-
moved. If members of the house are
privileged to talk whenever and as long
as they pleased, as are members of the
senate, congress never would get
through with its business, for there are
more than four times as many members
of the house as there are of the senate.

Even defenders of the present system
in the house admit that it is far short
of al ideal system, but they declare it
is the best system yet devised and pro
fess to have an apen mind toward any
proposals of reform. They admit that
the rights of individual members are

necessity of doing the business of the
nation is paramount to the rights of
any individual member or the rights
of any congressional district. They
have taken the stand in the past tina.
the nations business could not be
transacted under any rules other than
those now in force in the house, ami
they point to the fact that the Demo
