An ingenious plea for life job in con-
gress is made by Representative George
c. Sturglss of the First West Virginia dis
trict. Sturgiss got leave to print" and
several pages of a belated issue Of the
congressional record are devoted to setting
forth what an industrious man he has
been and telling also of the advantages
to a community in maintaining the same
representative at Washington. Sturgiss Is
little known. He has never threatened to
rob Payne Of the position of floor leader.
He explains his shyness in debate by re-
lating how busy he has been at committee
work. Altogether he makes out that a
congressmans life is quite laborious. He
says:
1.-THE general public does not know that
many members, serving on the more inn
portant committees spend more hours In
absolutely necessary committee work than
on the house floor. Witness the volumes
of testimony taken at hearings before
committees and the carefully digested
statements and reports, and the accurately
drawn bills based upon the hearings. Add
to these labors visits to the various de-
partments and 1 know that many mem
bers of congress work more hours and
more continuously and patiently than they
have done in their private affairs. / know
that to be true In my own case, ana j
have never been accused of Incidence"
Then Sturgiss puts in the following art
less plea for perpetual job in congress:
II have been daily convinced more and
more of the folly OF rotation or short
terms of service for members Of this
house, by the time required by a new
member to learn how and what to do,
and the quickest, most economical and
efficient way to do 1t. Being a useful and
successful congressman In representing the
interests of his distriet is a more difficult
art and profession than any other OF
which 1 have knowledge. 1t is most
laborlous position, and is no place for an
idler. When members show an aptitude
for this work. with capacity and integrity
and an ambition to excel, they SHOULD be
retained as their usefulness increases in
an increasing ratio with length OF service"

FRENCH TO VISIT CANADA
One of the Most Distinguished Officers
of the British Army-On a Tour
of Inspection.
(Herald Specially

London. May 13.-General Sir John
French sailed today from Liverpool
for Canada, where he is to spend
month or two in a semi-official tour
of inspection of the militia forces and
defences of the Dominion. Upon his
arrival in Quebec he will proceed
direct to Toronto to attend the I'M
yelling on May "a of the memorial
erected in that city to the Toronto
soldiers who fell in the South African
war After leaving Toronto Sir John
will confer with Sir Frederick Borden,
minister of militia, and will inspect
the Quebec garrison and the military
camps in the neighborhood of Mon
treal. He will also visit Kingston,
London, Niagara Falls and other
points before returning to England.
General Sir John French is one of
the most distinguished officers of the
British army and has had a truly
meteoric career. Born in 1852, he
failed to pass his examination for the
army. and took refuge in the ranks of
the militia. Through this back door
to the regular establishment, he even
tually entered the Eighth Hussars in
1874. There was absolutely nothing
in his early career which could be
construed as forecast of the military
triumphs which he was to. achieve
later. His time came in the Hoer
war when he gained rapid promotions
for his services in the relief of Kim
berley. He was the first officer to
win a major generalship in the South

his influence and suggestion, incorpo-

bring about the organization as a

years later Prof. Durant continued
his connection with the institution I'M

of his hopes by merging
it into the University of California. l

The death of Chief Justice Fuller was entirely unexpected, as he had been apparently i'll good health lately and there had been no premonitory symptoms of any kind of trouble. He attended church as usual Sunday and when he retired at night he was, 10 all appearances, in his customary health.
 To Chief Justice Fuller belongs the third rank for length of service as presiding justice in the highest tri- bunal of the American government. For 22 years he was chief justice of the supreme court of the In ted States, but Chief Justice Marshall presided over the court for 34 years and Chief Justice Fancy for 2S years.
 Before Grover Cleveland sent Full, ler's name 10 the senate on April 90, 1SSS. for confirmation as chief jus tice. he was practically unknown ex- cept 10 members of the legal profes- sion. In Maine, where he was born February II, 1888, he had been known as a we'll behaved, rather scholarly lad. Later he became editor of Democratic paper called the Age. He then left Maine for greater opportu mites in Chicago. The nomination of Mr, Fuller, then 55 years of age, was followed by a memorable contest in the senate. The judiciary commit tee, with it's Republican majority, to which the nomination was sent April 30, held up the appointment until July 20. Then the committee Ire. ported it back to the senate without recommendation For three hours that body debated in executive ses- sion whether to confirm or reject the nomination. Reports that he had been "copperhead" during the Civil War and that he did not pos. sess requisite ability as lawyer were gone over. Finally, by vote of 42 to 20. his nomination was con. firmed. Since that day the entire court, as it then eiXsted, has passed away, with the single exception ot Justice Harlan. Of those prominent in the fight over the confirmat on only Senator Cullom remains.
