BAILEY AND GALLINGER
BY sAyoYARD

A good story is told in connection with the spectacular resignation or his senatorship by the Hon. Joseph ". Bailey. When it was writ one old woman of a senator was sitting on his right and another old woman of senator was on his left. both e1postuiating and beseeching that he tarry a little longer with them to the confusion of the reprobate and the edihcation of the elect After the momentuous paper was conclid- cd the great man turned to pacify the old woman on one side and the old woman on the other side swiped the document and hid 1t In his bosom. When old woman No. l was confounded by the artyUEsents Os Ulysses 1t was discovered that tue resignation was missing and there was more or less confab about it, but the paper was not produced. In tones sonorous and resonant the great man observed: There Is other paper"
 And there was.
 Again the fatal writing was penned and sent off, whereupOn an other old woman senator bolted for the. telegraph office in the patriotic endeayor to suppress it. They say you could dance a Jig on his coat tails as be fairly flew to execute his devout mission. the success of which he hoped would put him in the class of the fellow who leaped into the awning chasm that opened in the Roman Forum. But alas, he was too Jate-the fatal missive was then in the goodly town Of Austin in far away Texas.
 Now to come to the meat of thi story. As soon as it vas common knowledge that the resignation was dispatched paper was circulated for the signatures of senators volun- teering advice to the governor of Texas. touching his executive duties in the premises. Some senators signed it, others refused.
 But they say one particular senator to whom MT. Bailey had rendered valuable service. got wind of the affair and sloped to avoid invitation to sign the remonstrance. He sought the supreme sourt library, where he hid himself away in a corner and did not emerge until the thing blew oyer. ali of which would argue that the American people sometimes make United States senators of rather common clay This man has no more backbone than a fishing worm. IT every senator had voted as he wished, instead of forty-six votes for Lorimer. there would have been ifty-siX at least, which is a sign Of health in that il discovers that public opinion has some weight in the senate after all.
 When the Thirty Years War" be- gan the Protestants of Germany were divided into two camps-the Lutherans and the Calvanists-and their mutual hatreds of each other were more intense than the bitterest animosity either had for their ad- verssries, the Catholics. Had they been united it Is likely the war would have been terminated in three years or less time, and the world might not have heard that GIstavJs Adolphus was a hero and Wallen- stein consummaie general. There IS something like that situation !n the United States senate between the regulars and the insurgents as shown in the balloting for president pTotempore. So far as | know there IS no precedent for the present con dition and if MT. GaIlinger shall be defeated it will be the first time the dominant Harty in the senate failed to elect its first choice for that distinguished honor. It is a mistake to say that there is 10 re sponsibility attacHiua tD the place It will be rC-an the chair appointed t' that white washed LOT a absence of Mir.

 GallingeF loves to solOnize ana The United States senate never had a member vho was better satisfied with himself than he. An arch med i0Cracy prostrate on the dead level Of the commonplace, Jacob NJ. Gallin- ger IS serious in the belief that he is the first statesman now hving and the edual of any statesman wEo ever lived. Some twenty years ago he and Carl Schurz had a contro- versy in the Boston newspapers that might be named as a pamphlet war between a giant and pygmy. Schurz played with him as cal with q mouse Now. he would smash him as with bludgeon. then he would carve him as Brutus sug- zested they should murder Caesar, and all the time Gsllinger was bliss ful in the vanity that he ate his adversary up blood raw SchurZ dis covered that thought in his man and he humored it in one letter that would have brought a roar of ire sistibie laughter from convocation of solemn owls. have always had an admiration for Gallirger ever since read that controversy.
