A l AND STEWART.

The late Senator Call was the
most dreary talker ever heard in the
senate. There was always a question
whether Call or Stewart could empty
the senate first and keep it empty the
longest. Stewart won as to senators
and Call as to galleries. Stewart was
a picturesque old patriarch, and Call
was as unprepossessing as his voice
sounded. Calls speeches read well,
for he had a wide knowledge and
good command Of language, and SEN
tors were willing to listen to him.
Stewart was apt to say anything
sharp almost any time. He was
rarely in harmony with the presi-
dent, and generally criticized the adj
ministration, which always inter-
ested the people in the galleries.

WHAT BECOMES OF OLD CANS
Rescued From the Dumps, They Arc
Made Into Window Sash and Ele-
vator Weights and Ship Ballast.

The raw material of a number Of
large establishments in this country,
says Harper's Weekly, consists Of
empty fruit and vegetable cans res
cued from the dumps. The princi-
pal products of these manufactures
r window-sash weights, elevator
weights and ballast for boats. After
delivery at the foundry the cans are
piled into a large iron grating, I'M
der a sheet iron hood, which termi-
mates in a smokestack. They are
sprinkled with crude oil and then set
on fire. This process consumes the
labels, loosens the dirt and melts the
solder, which falls through the gra-
ting and is collected, cast into ingots,
and sold to be used again. Some Of
the cans, which have simply Tapped
and soldered joints, melt apart COM
pletely. These are sorted out, and
the sheets Strengthened and bound
into bundles, to be sold to trunk ma
kers for protecting corners. They are
also bought by button manufac-
turerS, who stamp from these the
disks used in cloth covered buttons.
The machine made cans do not come
apart, and they are loaded into large
carts, taken on an elevator to the
charging floor and dumped into the
cupola, which is fed alternately with
cans and coke. The cans are so
light that some of them are carried
out at the top Of the stack by the
force of the blast, and a large screen
is arranged to prevent the pieces
from falling on the roof.

LATTICE SCREENS FOR INNS.

Many quaint old inns are to be
seen in Kings Lynn and the signs
Of the Lattice inn is one of the old
est in existence. In the olden times
the windows Of the inns were kept
open, and in order to hide the revel-
ers within, a lattice screen, painted
red, was placed in the window. There
is an old saying, GAS well known by
my wit as an alehouse by a red lat
tice." The lattices continued up to
the beginning Of the eighteenth CEN
fury, and when they disappeared
from the windows they were adopted
as signs. The latter are getting very
scarce, and it is questionable whether
half a dozen could be found in this
country.-Cyeling.

THE NEW SPEAKER
What Champ clark's Elevation
to Power Means to Congress.

As a member Of the House,
Champ Clark early demonstrated
special aptitude for tariff studies,
When John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, became Democratic
leader, he made Clark his first
jlieutanant and leader Of the
minority Of the Ways and Means
Committee. From this Clark nat
urally succeeded to the Democrat
ic leadership when Williams was
elected to the Senate; and now,
in turn, he is to come into the
Speakership, ''the second great
est office under our government. ,"
When Champ Clark is sworn
as Speaker, next December, he
will be the fortieth Speaker Of
the national House. He will
come to the position at a time
when the political situation will
give it a Significance it has sell
dom comprised.
The House is in a crisis Of its
parliamentary development. For
years there has been growing mis-
giving as to whether the pop
ular branch was making the
full contribution to natural af-
fairs that ought to be expected
from it. The Senate has over
Swallowed it in power and pres
tige. Under a succession OF
Speakers armed with almost die
tatorial authority, the House has
become less and less a free moral
agent, more and more a mere
reflexion of the mind and pur-
. pose of its presiding officer.
Champ Clark, in the Speakers
chair, viii be the exponent of the
new purpose of democratizing the
House. The place he will take
in history will largely depend on
the success with which he shall
carry forward the purpose of re-
storing the House to its proper
participation in legislation. In
proportion as he shall be will.

The Government and the Rail
roads.


Congratulations to Mr.. Robert
Mather, chairman of the board of
directors of the Westinghouse
Electric concern and a prominent
railroad man. Mr.. Mather, in
testifying before the Railroad
Securities Commission said ''The
government, having gone so far
IN the way Of regarding rail
roads, should go still further.
Whenever the authorities go so
far as to regulate rates, | say
it is time that the government
should extend credit to the
railroads in order to assist in
their difficulties"
Precisely, Mr.. Mather, precisely,
AS you say, government regula-
ton of rates and government con-
troll Of capitalization will tend to
make first-class railroad securit-
its-first mortgage bonds and
the like-more desirable for in
y estment, but will make the
second-class securities less desir-
able. We have the impression
that the water in the railroad
securities originally came under
the head Of ''second-class Sc
curities." We agree with Mr..
Mather hat the Government
should strengthen American rail
way credits-at least to the ex-
tent Of exercising such a super
vision that farther injection Of
water will be impossible.
But gong with Alr. Mather al
the way-the Government now is
regulating rates-presumably. Mr.
Mather would have it go farther
and extend its credit to the rail
roads. Then the Government.
would be fixing the traffic char
ges for the railroads, furnishing
the money to finance the railroad
and the dividends would be 60
ing to the risk-free stockholders
Why not let the Government reg
! ulate finance, and own and oper
ate the railroads From an ed
itorial in Hampton's Magazine TO
