CLASSICS IN THE SENATE.

In the times of our grandfathers nc
| man of any prominence attempted tc
make public speech or write an arti-
Gle without sprinkling it literally with
classical illusions Probably the last
great exponent of that school was
Charles Sumner who could not speak
or write Of even go commonplace a
matter as bringing bucket of water
from the well without citing what the
Greek and Latin poets had said on the
subject and showing his erudition by a
comparison of translations.
1t is said of Daniel Webster that he
revised William Henry Harrison's in
augural address, and the next morning
some one remarked to him that he
looked tired. II ought to be-" replied
Webster. "for last night I slew ii con-
suls, 20 pro-consuls and tribunes, phil
osophers and sages without number"
In the last days of the Senate Senator
Money, of Mississippi, gave that august
body taste of what the walls had
formerly re-echoed to. The Senate had
under consideration the report OF the
Conference Committee on the condifica-
tion and amendment of the penal laws
of the United States, subject which
would seem dry and prosy enough, but
Senator Money managed to illumine it
with some unexpected flashes. He be-
gan with the story of the murder of
Agamemnon by Clytemnestra, proceed
ed to the birth of Minerva, told about
ballot-boxN stuffing in the times of
Aeschylus. quoted from the old Greek
Tragedy o: the Furies, and in some way
dragged in the Presidents trip to Afri-
ca, and Roosevelt's claim for himself to
be "a faanal naturalist" He denied
that there were any tigers in Africa,
and then proceeded to discuss the re-
cent theories of ethnology; denied the
Max Muller theory; qualified that of
Agasstz, Topped back to Greece, and
told about the Spartan political and
social systems, and then scored Rhode
Island for her completely In the slave
trade. He tangled up with Senator
Foraker on the question of whether
negros were men or not, and finally
the record says:
"At this point Mr. Money yielded to
Mr. Bailey, and. owing to the pressure
or business and the subsequent agree
two sections to which he objected, he
did not resume the floor."
We should think the.t at that point

The Niagara and the New Ironsldes.

Editor National Tribune: Won't you
give us something about the Niagara
and the New Ironsides August H
Merchant Odetta, Okla.
The Niagara was built several years
before the war, and was considered the
largest and most powerful frigate in the
world. She was employed in laying the
Atlantic cable, and then sent to Japan.
where she was at the breaking out of
the war. She was Immediately ordered
home, but it was found that her draft
was too heavy to admit of her use in
the shallow Southern waters. and she
rendered comparatively little service. AT
toned at Lisbon to watch the rebel ram
Stonewall. which her commander al
lowed to pass out of the harbor without
hight.
The New Ironsides was also a frigate
and at the time of her lanching the
largest ironclad vessel afloat, and was
built something on the plan of the Eng
lish ironclad Warrior. She had a belt
of armor seven feet wide at her water
line. of single plates four inches in
thickness. She had length of 232
feet, with 81 feet six inches of beam,
and Il draft of 15 feet. She carried two
20O-pound rifles, with 16 11-inch guns,
besides small pieces. She was propelled
by screw, and carried three masts The
bow was armed with ram. She did
not show up to great advantage in the
attack on Charleston, steering badly,
and her plates showing unsatisfactory
resistance to the ConfederateS' Shots
She was afterward little employed.-Ed

Death of Mai. Zalinski.

Maj. Edmond Louis Gray Zalinski, u
s. Army, retired, died in New York,
March 10, from pneumonia. He was
born in Prussia, Poland, in 1849, and
was brought to America by his parents
when four years old. They settled at
Seneca. Falls, N. Y. He entered the
Union army as an engineer officer, was
attached to the staff of Gen. Nelson A.
Miles, and was commissioned in the I'd
N. Y. II. A. for gallantry at Hatcher's
Run. After being mustered out he en-
tered the Regular Army as Second
Lieutenant in the 9Th U. 8. Art, and
rose to a Captaincy in 1887, and was
retired as a Major in 1904. He achieved
high reputation by his many inven-
tions, among which were the ramrod
bayonet. telescope site for artillery. and
particularly the pneumatic dynamite
torpedo gun. This gun uses compressed
air in place of gunpowder, and throws
a torpedo weighing 1000 pounds, of
which 500 pounds Is high explosive. At
one time he was regarded as the great
est authority in the world on high ex-
plosives. He was member of a num-
Der of scientific societies, but outside of
his profession took the warmest inter-
est in the Grand Army of the Republic,
of which he was for awhile National
Patriotic Instructor. He has brother,
Maj. Moses G.. Zakinski, in the Quarter
masters Department of the Army.

so far as the House of Representa-
tives is concerned, the scepter has de-
parted from Ohio, likewise from In
diana and Iowa. The time has been
when the Buckeye State ran the House
of Representatives as we'll as most other
Departments of the Government. Now
il is discovered that she has not single
Chairmanship of q committee. This IS
her own fault, since she has changed
her Representatives so often, and altho
her 81 Representatives have full share
of the 61 committees, not one of them is
old enough in service to become
Chairman. Indiana will have but one
Craftsmanship, and that not an impor-
tant one. 1t is the Committee on the
Census. On the other hand, New Jer-
sey. with seven Republican members,
will have five Chairmanships, and both
of New Hampshire's Representatives
will be Chairmen of important commit
tees Ten years ago Iowa had the
Speaker and the Chairmanship of sew
eral big committees, in addition to two
seats in the Cabinet In the next House
she will only have one Chairmanshfp,
that of the Committee on Military At
fairs.

THE WIRz MoNusuENr

After carting their nasty little monu-
ment around the country, having it con-
temptuousiy kicked out of Richmond
and snubbed by Atlanta, the Daughters
of the Confederacy have at last decided
to put it up at Andersonville. 1t will
do as little harm there as any place,
since few people will ever sae it, An
dersonyiile is trifing little village of
only 245 people, on an-out.of-the-way
railroad and about a mile from the site
of the prison and the cemetery. The
Daughters did not dare put up the
monument near the prison grounds,
since the Government will undoubtedly
take possession OF these and would at
once throw the stone into the dump.
The incident may be regarded as
closed. and no further notice taken of
the monument until the Daughters stir
up the matter again to their own dis
comfture.

The 1874 Unattached Company.

Editor National Tribune: Do you
know anything about the 18th Unat-
tached Company of Massachusetts Vol
unteers Levi c. Curtis, Marlboro,
Mass.
There were in all 3S companies un-
attached to regiments which were raised
in Massachusetts during the war, and
the most of these served in the forts
along the Massachusetts coast, or in
other parts of the States where their
service was needed. Thirteen of these
companies were reOrganized during
April and May, 1864, and served 90
days. Nine others served 100 days, and
then six of them with four new COM
panies were mustered in for a years
service, but discharged on account of
the close of the war. The 18th Unat-
tached Company was raised at Salem,
Mass, with Robert w. Reaves as Cap
tain, George Stevens as First Lieuten-
ant and John w. Evans as Second Lieu
tenant. 1t served from May 16 to
Aug. IA, 1864.
The National tribune., 1909-03-18

Governor General Smith, of the Phil
ippines, is considering whether he can
make better use of man than by
hanging him. Papa Isio, who is the
Pope of the Negros ISLANDS. aIa ashas a
lot of fanatical followers, is in jail un-
der sentence of death, and richly de-
serves capital punishment" The con-
stabulary officers believe 1t would be
unwise to hang him, however, since in
that event some other man would rise
up and claim that Isio's spirit had en-
tered him, and continue his baleful
work. They think it is much better to
keep him alive in prison garb and hard
at work, where his deluded followers
can occasionally get sight Of him, and
have an object-lesson as to what will
be the result of their evil ways.

THE INAUGURAL DATE.

The date OF March was fixed by the
resolutions adopted by the Constitution
al Convention of i7S7. These resolu
tions provided first for submitting the
Constitution for approval and ratiica-
ton to the several States, and that
when nine States should have ratified
it, it should be operative. The resolu-
tions further provided
Resolved, That the first wednesday
in January next be the day for appoint
ing electors in the several States when
before the said day shall have ratlhed
the said Constitution; that the first
Wednesday in February next be the day
for the electors to assemble in their re-
spective States and vote for President,
and that the first Wednesday in March
next be the time and the present seat OF
Congress the place for commencing pro-
ceedings under the said Constitution"
The States of Delaware, Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey, Georgia, Connecticut.
Massachusetts,, Maryland, South Caro-
lima and New Hampshire. making the
necessary nine, ratified the Constitution
between Dec. Z, 1897, and June 21, 1888.
and, therefore, it became operative, to-
gether with the resolutions accompany
ing it. The first Wednesday in March,
1889, was the 4th of the month, and this
was made precedent for the opening
of each new administration and the ter
mination Of the life of Congress The
first Congress mel in New York March
4. 1888, but quorum of both Houses
was not present until April 6, when the
electoral vote was counted and Wash
ington was declared elected President
and John Adams Vice President Wash
ington was not inaugurated, however,
until April 80, 1889, in New York.
March /, 1892, is the date of an act
which says:
THE term of four years. for which
President and Vice President shall be
elected, shall, in all cases, commence on
the 4th day of March next succeeding
the day on which the votes of the cleo
tors have been given" (Section 152
r. 81
There is nowhere any legal establish
but these have grown up by custom.
Every Inauguration Day which was af-
ficted with bad weather there has risen
a strong demand for change, but this
has died down under the pressure Of
more exciting questions. The unprece-
dented inclemency of the weather On
the last Inauguration Day. which affect
ed an immensely greater number of
people than any preceding one, has
made the demand stronger and more
insistent and will probably be main
tanned unit, a change is effected. Ex-
cept the natural, and strong disinclina-
ton against tinkering with the Consti-
tuition there is no, reason why the pro-
posed amendment should not pass both
Houses of Congress without debate or
opposition and be- similarly adopted by
three -fourtfis of the Legislatures of the
several States 1t looks now as IL this
would occur.

People are paying entirely too little
attention to the good work that the
United States is doing in the Philip
pines. We are'benefting those people
quite as much as as We did the Cubans,
and saying ieven'less about it. The lat

works for Manila. The water is taken
from a point 20 miles northeast of Ma
nila, and is sufficient to furnish 22,5OO,-
600 gallons day. or about 100 gallons
for each inhabitant. The works are

As was TO be expected. Senator For
Aker takes his defeat for the Senate
with manly philosophy. He told the
Ohio Legislature. which did him the
honor to invite him to speak, that he
recognized that he was now a private
citizen, but he wished that he had been
reelected. The experience of defeat
was not new TO him, however, as he had
been twice elected Governor, twice de-
feated, twice elected to the Senate and
twice defeated. He accepted private
citizenship with the best grace possible,
as it gives him a peace OF mind that
he has not enjoyed for 25 years. All
the same, the State of Ohio has lost a
splendid representative in the Senate OF
the United States.

Russia offers to pay Leonard B. Clore,
of Franklin, Ind, corn expert. $4,000
a year and travelling expenses to como
to that country and teach the Russian
peasants how to raise corn. A very
large area of southern Russia is suitable
for maize growing, and it is believed
that the people can get more food with
less labor in that direction than by their
present plan of raising wheat and rye.
The production of corn is better suited
to the general ignorance of the people
than the more complicated processes
