Martinsburg statesman-democrat. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1906-1921, 1908-07-03

The Democratic congressional COM
mittec has broken, it's record in the ia
suance of handbook four mounths be-
fore the Presidential election. This
publication contains, in nearly 400
pages, extracts of speeches male IN
Congress during the last session, most
of them having been delivered during
the month preceding adjournment. II
is composed exclusively OF compression
al speeches, and consequently can be
franked by membersof Congress.
After the Denver convention the
N ational Democratic Committee will
issue its regular handbook, as usual.
The present publication, however, Is of
special interest in defining what it is
believed at this time will be the issue
ofthe campaign. This Is shown by the
prominence given various subjects by
Representative Lloyd, OF Missouri,
chairman Of the congressional COM
mittee, who is the editor.
"Republican extravaganza Is APP
parentIy to be the keynote of the coz
gressional campaign, as 1t Is given the
first glace in the handbook. Represen ;.
tative Fitzgerald, Of New York, amp
Senator Culberson, of Texas, provided
the material for this chaptcd in their
speeches delivered during the last days
of the session.
Financial and Industrial Condo
tons form the second subject treated
in the book, Senator Owen OF Oklaho-
ma and Representative Clarke of Miss
souri,, Houston, Of Tennessee, and
Hamlin, of Missouri all contributing
to this subject. 10 the Tariff and
Trusts are devoted about 50 pa ge-
"Federal Usurpation, Currency Re-
form, Philippine Policy" and Tyr
amy ofthe Speaker" are other sub
jects. The alarming conditions" tina
face the country are commented upon,
and there are chapters on labor, the
mere lant marine, and the election Of
United States Senators by popular
vote.
The committee regards its chapter
on Republican Responsibility AZ Of
special importance, and quotes a
speech by Vice Presidential Candi-
date Sherman, of New York. Mr.. DE
Almond having deserted on April s
that the Republican majority in Con-
gress IN both branches was 30 pronounc
ed as TO make that party wnolly re-
sponsibie for legislation, Mr.. Sherman
replied acknowledging responsibility
Of his party mot only for everything
that is done, but for that which is not
done in the way Of legislation and adj
ministration.

we take the following extract from
The Sun with regard 10 sBnnd Tom
whose death was announced several
days ago: "Three weeks ago, as Blind
Tom sat before his piano In the home
OF Mrs. Eliza. Ierc he, the widow OF his
cid master, at 90 Twelfth street, Ho-
eoseui n. j, singing the old melodies
with which he had thrilled great au-
alences before the Civil War, he sud
denly stopped and fell face downward
&c the floor. Mrs. Lcrche, who has
cared for him for more than twenty
years, ran into the room and, helping
HIM up, found that his whole upper
right side was paralyzed. But Tom
could not understand that he WIS dir
ferent, and soor went back TO his piano
When he found that his right hand
could not strike the keys he said, with
his voice quivcring: "Tom's fingers
won't play Again and again he
tried Finally, when he realized it was
useless his blind eyes filled with tears
aud he wept like a child. Each day
he returned TO the plano and with his
lie hand started some favorite pieeeI
Dscords came quickly, however, sndl
then, with tear-moistened cheeks, he
would rise and pace the feor until late
into the night. His old mistress sought
to comfort him, but he would only sob
out: Toms fingers won't play no
mo. Just how old he was is unknown.
Stories vary, but he was born probab-
ly between 1919 and 1858 on n plants-
tion near Columbus, Ga, wher, his
parents lived as the slaves of Gen.
james n Bethune. He made his q rst
appearance IN New York in 1851, play
ed in Chicago the following year,at the
Empire Theatre, London, in 1867, and
in California In 1879 His last work
in public was at the Circle Theatre,
New YORK, in 1904, when he amazed
many who believed he was dead by
repeating the feats of his earlier year.

1t was about this time that Leighbors
Of the Cortelyous began to remark that
somebody was keeping the piano and
organ going a great Ceal in their home.
1t appeared that the secretary to dis
tract his mind from the discords of his
official life was paying more than usu-
oil attention to making harmony in his
home. He is very fond of the organ
and also plays the piano Well He used
to play on the keys of typewriter.
Other people do that for him now, but
the keys of the organ and piano possess
for him still a great fascination.

men are supposed to be lazy. Mr.. Cor

err the subordinates and clerks Of the
department have left theirs. 1t is hard
work combined with signal executive
ability that put Mr.. Cortelyou where
he is. His genius for hard work has
been recognized by three presidents.
He was originally discovered by Presi-
dent Cleveland. who took him from the
postoffice department to the White
House The first thing the young but
aspiring stenographer said was:

"That doesn't make bit Of differ
