dictionary. The word is still legitimate and the
Joke i, still alive, hut it knows politics It
applies to Democrats a. we'll As to Republicans
and there arc more lame ducks now about to
take their spring flight from Washington than
for many years past. They all want patronage
clutches because their political wings have been
clipped to make travel difficult. They have drawn
their last warrant on the Sergcant-at-ArmS and
have collected their last mileage. SO, the joke OF
the lame duck has croak in its voice and it
longer causes roar, or even ripple, OF laughter
in the Democratic cloakroom. And. many OF
the lame ducks return from their pilgrimage to the
White House there is the sad croak OF the raven
"ncvcrmorc."
But not all the lame ducks sad. The Hon.
Edward w. Townsend has been nominated for
postmaster at Montclair, N J.. quiet suburb OF
New York. As "Chimmy Fadden" Mr.. Townsend
was once regular jokesmith. He cracked his
jokes at politicians of high and low degree, treat
ing them as he did the urchns on the Bowery.
Four years ago he turned his reputation as a
jokesmith to political profit and with Cannon
ISM as his chief joke he defeated that dignied
and serious statesman Richard Wayne Parker
and came to Congress. 1t was one OF the best
joke record and CHIMNEY Fadden
took his in the House. TO be considered
funniest when he thought he was Most serious
He was still looked upon jokesmith, if not
a joke, and jokes contagious. this funny
impression extended to New Jersey, with the re-
suit OF the serious minded and dignhed Richard
Wayne Parker coming back to Congress and Mr.
Townsend becoming the lame duck postmaster>s t

The Letter that Kept Gushing from
the Supreme Bench.
BY DIR. r.. ). EDw ARDS.

by I'm. III =" -hNDF".
At a time when Charles y. Dana. for
mer editor Of the New York sun, was
visiting Washington, ! had an sOpportu-
nifty OF chatting with him and of asking
him ia the conversation what his judS-
ment was respecting some of the men
who had been prominent AT the time he
was Assistant Secretary of War, in Lin
coins administration. He spoke very
highly of William Pitt Fessenden, for
years senator from Maine and the sue
Cessor OF Salmon p. Chase as Secretary
of the Treasury Mr.. Dana told me that
he thought senator Fessenden was gifted
with the most acute as well as the most
profound intellect Of all those who were
conspicuous in public life in civil war
days.
Mr.. Dana said that it was not rare to
meet with a man who had a very acute
intellect and men OF profound under
standing are not exceptional. but 1t Is
rare that there should be a combination
of these two qualities in the same man.
| asked Mr.. Dana If that Were not an
accurate description of Caleb Cushing's
mind. and he replied instantly. 'Oh. no,
Cushing had very acute mind and his
capacity for absorbing things Was pro-
disious. That explains how he was able
to master 50 many languages. But he
did not have a profound mind. and there
was something Il little askew in his
makeup
Caleb CushnS'S name and career re-
main among the interesting traditions
associated with the great men OF the
first sixty years of the past century. |
have asked many persons who had OPP
portunity to know Mr.. Cushing what
their opinion of him was. All replied
that he was an extraordinarily interest
ing man. Lawyers nave told me that
while he was a very learned lawyer. he
was not a very able one and did not
possess the logical faculty. 1t was a
tradition in Washington that while he
was man of most charming personality
he was nevertheless eccentric. He had a
habit Of preserving half-smoked cigars.
keeping them in a little cigar ease. 50
that whenever he wanted smoke he
would withdraw one OF these half
smoked cigars from the case and light it.
He was also spoken of as very care
less man. as well as very goOd-natUrcd.
and to this he owed his failure to gain
the high Office Of Chief Justice of the Su-
preme Court
Gushing served in the Cabinet of Pres
ident Pierce. of which jefferson Davis
was also member y very warm
friendship was established between Gen.
Gushing and Mr.. Davis and was MAIN

tanned Notwithstanding their political diff
fcrences. Gen. Gushing having announced
himself as a strong Union man several
years later.
After the Confederate government Wa
established and Mr.. Davis became pres
ident. somebody who wanted to be ap-
pointed TO an Office in that government
and who knew how intimate the personal
friendship of Gushing and Davis had
been, asked the former for letter o.
recommendation. Gushing thoughtlessly
gave that letter. II was afterward dis
covered among the archives at Rich
mond.'
President Grant had very high re-
gard for Caleb CushinS's services as one
of the counsel for the United States at
the Geneva tribunal, board of arbitra-
ton TO pass upon the claim by the Unit
ed States against England for damages
occasioned by the Confederate privateer
Alabama. Grant. without consulting
any one. nominated Gushing for Chief
Justice. to succeed Salmon P. Chase

But the lame duck is no joke to Democrats
Just now nor to President Wilson His quack is
heard at the White House throughout the livelong

There is not one law for the rich and another
for the poor" said Assistant District Attorney
Train. OF New York. in an address at Chicago,
with us a rich man has less chance before a jury
than poor man. There is latent prejudice lurk-
ing under the skin OF the American juror against
policemen politicians and rich men accused OF
crimes. The juror has read all about them and
knows the tricks they up 10, so that at the
bar the rich man gets the worst end OF it. 1t is
only aftcrward that he has the advantage. He can
buy delay-although he can't buy the jury" The
speaker was referring to the New York courts, yet
what he said applies with equal force TO most
communities There time in this country
when the rich had advantage in court, but
IT is past except that he may still delay payment
OF the penalty by legal process and escape prison

cannot avail himself Of

The District government announced that It bad
temporary job for thirty men who by hard labor
would be able to earn dollar a day each. The
act that only twelve applied foT the work would
seem to indicate that few willing and able-boded
men are starving in Washington. The statement
rom the District Building, however, that the
7av offered is the regular rate for that class of
work will surprise most people and suggests that
District wages have not kept pace with the cost
