HOW Simon Cameron Stood
by a Fellow ScOtChman
BY "HOlland."

In 1866, the year that James Burnie,
Beck. who, from 1876 until his death in
1890. represented Kentucky in the
United States Senate, was first elected
TO the national House of Representa-
tives, General Simon Cameron, of
Pennsylvania, who had been sent 10
the Senate in 1845 as Democrat and
in 1856 as a Republican, for the third
time in his political career became a
member of that body
"Of course, Senator Cameron was
instantly received into the Senate on
the day that the new Congress was or
ganized' said Senator Beck to me,
but it was far different with me.
had come to Congress a stranger from
border state-and the war was just
year closed, and the passions and
demoralizations of the war were not
over. There WAS a great deal Of sus-
plcion as to the sincerity or loyalty Of
members of Congress from the border
States and the tests of loyalty put
upon them by the Northern members
of Congress were severe. I was fully
prepared to take the test oath. but my
credentials We're held up nevertheless,
and when Congress organized was
left out I'm the cold.
"A few days later | chanced TO meet
for the first time in my life General
Cameron at the home of a common
friend. He looked at me intently for
a moment. as thoug he was trying to
read me through and through. Then
he asked me If II were true that
had been bornsin Scotland, as he had
heard
Yes, Senator replied. I am a
native of Dumfriesshire.'
You know that !. too, am Scotch,
not by birth, but by descent he re-
Piled 4 am as ardent member of
the clan Cameron as any of that clan
that ever lived.
"Then che Senator took me by the
arm and led me aside. We began TO
chat about Scotland. I told him that he
knew more about Scotland than I did
We Scotchmen are. after all. of
one national clan he responded. We
may fight among ourselves. but We
stand with a united front against the
world
II saw that the Senator was still
studying me. taking my measure. while
al the same time our common Scotch
blood had kindled a recent acquaint-
anceship into something like friend

-" Yes said, I was General Breck-
inridges law partner at that time
I suspect that's the reason why
they have not admitted you yet as a
member of the House, remarked the
general.
Il nodded acquiescence
We'll now, brother Scotchman,' SEN
ator Cameron declared. I have little
influence in tho House and ! am going
to use it. You needn't give yourself
any further anxiety about your admis-
sion to Il. You'll be admitted In the
course OF a day or two I'll see to that

His words proved true. A few days
