DoLLlvER AND ALpRlcA

Washington Correspondence New
York Globe: Does Senator Aldrich
ever lose his temper? Not often. He
is usually calm, serene and compos-
ed, and seldom let's the gibes of his
opponents ruffle him. The only
time since the tariff bill has, been
up that he has been real, downright
mad in public and showed it, was
when Dolliver lit on him in remark
able assault on the wooden schedule
and everybody connected with it.
What the acknowledgement Iowar
said of Aldrich then took the breath
away from the timid ones who never
supposed any one would dare to at.
sack Aldrich. The Rhode Island sen.
ator not only got mad then, but
turned pale with anger and showed
his annoyance plainly. 1t will be a
cold day when he forgives Dolliver-
and still colder day when Dollivel
lets up on him.

in SERVICE TWENTY-FIVE WEARS

On Monday, August ., Capt j. r.
Merry celebrated the 18th amiver.
sary of his service with the Illinois
Central Railroad company. On Au.
gust l, 1880, A. ii. Hanson. now pas
senger traffic manager, was appoint.
ed general passenger agent, and tel
egraphed Capt Merry to meet him at
the Julien house in Dubuque in re-
gard to entering the service of the
company as an officer. This Cart
Merry did and was made excursion
agent, which position he held three
years. Later, he was advanced TO
general western passenger agen;
and again promoted to assistant gen.
eral passenger agent of western lines
While still resident of this city, the
company appointed him assistant
general passenger agent of the en-,
| tire system. and on account of adj
ditional work removed his offices tc
Dubuque, where he lived for sayera'
years
Mr.. Hanson was given supervision
of the passenger traffic department ii
1905 and recommended the creation
of an immigration department will
Capt. Merry as its manager, which
was approved by the president. Since
that time, the office of the genera
immigration agent of the Illinois Cen
trail and Yazoo & Mississippi Vale,
railroads has been in Manchester.
Captain Merry enjoys the best O
health and is handling more bushes
and encouraging greater plans fo
the betterment of the southern plant
er and the northern emigrant thai
ever before. He has one of the hes
appointed and most pleasant office!
occupied by any official OF the sys
TEN and takes considerable interes
in his dairy farm, which is located
about three miles northwest of Man

When Senators Deliver and Cum

Warren and Carter who intcrposed
objections oftenest and who argued
most vociferously for the Aldricl

fered their paws to rake the chest
nuts and. he generously allowed the
rangers to hold them in the fire a:
long as they wanted to.
1t is to be said for Senator Aid
rich that he has conceded revision
downwards in hides with great ap
parent reluctance. He has been a.
tender of the feelings of Smoot ant

pected. 1t is even probable that hi
would regret it if an indignant con
stituency should retire any one o
them to the pursuits of private life
But he recognizes the inevitable. an

schedules where nothing can distur

yet he permits them to go.
\ 1t is gratifying the assurance tina
Warren and Smoot and Carter wi
not offer any serious objection t
having their own throats cut. Thi
is such a cheerful exhibition of sui
sedviency. After being played wit
throughout, they will testify their d;
