HISTORY BUILDERS.
From Senate to Cabinet and Back
Again.

Nrlttcn CXT'r">Slv for The Washington Hcraid.]
by DIR. +. J. EDWARDS.
Since 1880 three elections have been
made of United States Senators In each
case the Senator returning to seat
which he had vacated earlier. having ac-
c"ptcd portfolios in Presidential Cabi-
nets. My attention was called to this
interesting and somewhat strange fca-
ture of political life by Gen. Thomas l..
James, who was an associate of William
Window in the Cabinet of President Gar
field and for a time in that of President
Arthur.
Gen. James said to ME that he thought
Window had, after ALL the most varied
career as Senator and Cabinet officer eN-
cepting John c. Calhoun. Calhoun was
twice Il Cabinet officer both before and
after he had served in the United States
Senate. and had also been Vice President
of the United States in Andrew Jackson's
first administration.
Calhoun changed more frequently in
official relations with the government
than any other American citizen" said
Gen. James. hut l think next to him the
record of William Window Is the most
remarkable. My relations with Mr..
Window were very close, although | did
no. know him until after we both be-
came members OF Gen. Garfield's Cab
met. After he was called to the Cabinet
of President Benjamin Harrison, as Sec
retary of the Treasury, I met him one
afternoon and We had pleasant little
chat. said to him that he had served
as United States Senator before he be-
came Secretary of the Treasury under
President Garfield: that he had returned
TO the Senate within a year after he re-
signed his seat In the Senate to become
Secretary of the Treasury, and then. aft
er his Senatorial term was ended, he was

! only one record that more than matched
his in this respect. lie asked me whose
il was and | told him John G. Calhoun 8.
He unused a moment and then said that
it was true that Calhoun had shifted
/ hack and forth between the Senate and
| Cabinet more frequently than any other
man.
There was to be. later. another exam
PIE of this kind, although not quite so
complete as those furnished by Window
and Calhoun. John Sherman left the
Treasury Department. where he had
served as Secretary under President
Hayes, to take his old seat in the United
States Senate chamber. the seat which
he resigned four years earlier to become
Secretary of the Treasury. Long after
ward Sherman resigned his scat in the
Senate to become Secretary of State un-
der President Mckinley.
THE record made by Senator Henry NJ.
Teller. of Colorado, has always interest
ed me- He was the first Senator elected
by the newly organized State of Colo
RADIO. When Gen. Arthur went to WASH
ington to begin service as Vice President
he made the acquaintance of Senator Tel
lcr and became very fond of him. There

resigned, Arthur promptly and urgently
appealed to Teller to accept the portfolio
which Eirkwood had resigned. 1t was
with great reluctance that Teller did ac'
cept it. and he was very glad when the
Colorado Legislature reelected him Sem
ator, so that he. as Window and Sher-
man had done. went directly from the
Cabinet again to a familiar place in the
Senate"

So much Congress did to keep faith

Congress put itself in these matters
under the guidance of Hamilton.
The advice given by the young Sec
retary was characteristic alike OF his
capacity and of the purposes which he
entertained with regard to the gov

with characteristic candor and direct

States; to add to their security against
foreign attacks; to establish pubic

Cruisers.

1t is certainly strange that one particular class
of Cruisers" more especially as the great majority
of them have much smaller cruising capacity
than the majority. of battleships. Our first ships
to which the word applied (thc admiralty
then spelt it with y were the picturesque yes
sells of the old Amphion class. launched in I8as,
and shortly after clean sweep was made of the
term Corvette" In the steam era the word
cruiser has become associated more particularly
with speed, though there is apparent connec-
tion. MANY cruisers now- doing useful work are,
too considerably slower than modern bat;leships,
while the twenty-hve-knot Queen Elizabeths are
faster than. the battle cruisers of the Invincble
group. These "Is-ineh batsleships" ought really
to be grouped with the battle cruisers with which
they have several points in common.-London

Judge Edmund Swami, Democratic candidate
for the Office OF district attorney OF New York
says: "The district attorney is the chief law Of
fcer of the county for the protection of the per-
son and property rights of the citizens, and in
that connection it must not be forgotten that he
is attorney for all OF the people, and while he is
technically counsel for the prosecution, yet in a
larger he is counsel for all of the people
and such he must guard carefully the rights of
the prisoner at the bar" No wonder this state
ment considered worthy of large headlines
in the New York newspapers. Judge Swami calls
attention, TO fact that to have been long
ago lost sight of not only in New York. but else
where. 1t is of course, the duty of the district
attorney to that the truth is presented to judge
and jury, but too often he is found directing his
entire energies and the machinery of his Office to-
ward bringing about the conviction of the pris-

in his guilt or through the mistaken notion that

borne, OF Sing Sing "for the officers to go about

the other day the principal keeper laid aside the
loaded club the principal keeper at Sing Sing has
carried since time immemorable" The warden's
system is making such marvellous progress to
justify speculation to how long it will be before
the services OF keepers may be dispensed with al
together, unless they needed to keep poor but
law-abding persons from breaking in.

that man waking up in coffin the morning after
