From Far and Near
The Debate Reporters.

From the Chicago Post.-There is a
general inclination to believe that the
employees Of the house and senate in
Washington are not working to the
point where their health is in danger
OF breaking under the strain. The
general belief, well founded or not,
should make exception in the case of
the official stenographers whose duty
1t is to report the debates. These
faithful workmen have set down and
turned into copy for the printers g.
776.OOO words since the discussion OF
the Payne tariff bill began.
The work of the debate reporters
is one that allows no tagging of mind
or hand. They must take every
speech with all it's ramblings and in
terjections and with all it's Interrupt
lions. The task of the official steno-
grapher is the most trying one that
the government sets, and, moreover,
the lawmakers appreciate the fact
The pay is good and it is every cent
earned. There may be some 1oafers
in Washington, but the debate report
ers have no fellowship with them.
