to Scat the House of Representatives
and the Discussion Which Arose Thereon— Interesting Notes Concerning Affairs at

I
ve Moody of
Mfissaeliusetts in the lionse tlio other (lay roncoruinu' the late Koprpscntative Ilolman of Indiana. "1 hoard the lnli' speaker of tho house. .Mr. Herd, say," declared Mr. .Moody, "tluu Mr. Ilolman lind as niiieh valuable information lo ooiniuuiLieate to the liousc
any other man in the country. Serving- with him and sitting upon this eido of the chiimber, 1 do not remember an intelligible sentence that I ever heard coming from him except when
I
went over and stood by his seat to hear him."
Mr. CrunipaiUer precipitated an interesting discussion in the house by introducing a substitute for the paragraphs in (tie sundry civil bill which provide refurnishing the hall of the house of representatives. Judge f'nimpacker's proposition anticipated the removal of the individual desks now in use, and the substitution of benches, such as are in use in several European parliamentary* bodies. Mr. Crumpacker called attention to the disorder which attracts the attention of every visitor to the galleries of the popular brunch of congress. "Members collect literature, books, papers and stationery, and read, write and transact private business. In some respects the house when In session appears very much like an oriental bazaar or a JDuropean bourse." ,\Ir. »"nnnpaeker referred to the report of the committee on ventilation anil acoustics during the last congress, by which arrangements were proposed for seating the members in concentric circles by raised seats. Two large retiring rooms for members who desired to read or write, were provided.
The debate brought out the history of a similar change made in L85i), the details of which do not go to sustain the theory that legislative extravagance is a new thing in American publie life. In 1S5!) the house was seated with lynches. After a short session, in which it. was found impossible to keep members in their seats, these weiv thrown out. The hall was refurnished with desks costing $12.*? each and chairs which the government paid some philanthropic individual $03 each to part with. A little later these works of art were auctioned off for a few dollars apiece, and the present Beats and desks installed. Some of the old set tees may still be found in tlio supreme court room and St. Elizabeth's hospital for the insane.
The Knglish house of commons "was pointed to by ndvoqafps of the change In seating arrangements, nut Mr. (Jrosvenor argued that there was no comparison between the two bodies. A member of the English liouee of commons, he stated, is infrequently on the floor except when summoned to line up behind the party whips cm a division.
Judge Crumpacker's plan failed of approval by a vote of nearly four to one. The truth Is that the confusion on the floor of the house is more apparent than real. The deliberative side of the body is seen in Its committees, where experts wlifp legislation Into shape. Congress nsally contents itself with knocking off any rough corners that may appear in the handiwork of a committee. It is seldom indeed that the congressional orator affects the action of even one, much less a majority of his colleagues or expects to do so. What is said, even in fhe most important deYiates, is an appeal to the great jury of peers outside iho capitol—fhe American people. YW when a question of vital importance is up for consideration, or when a member of congress has something of exceptional Interest to say, the disorder which characterizes the house under ordinary conditions instantly disappears. The use of benches, and the consequent compulsory attention would no doubt result in increased talkativeness on the part of members, but It would have little effect in making the honse more useful to the country. The member who wishes to listen to what Is going on can be accommodated under present conditions, and the statesman who has something to say, or has nothing to say in an attractive manner, will be a4»le to get the ear of the house. The little congresses known as committees will continue to be the real centers of legislation.
That the spellbinder who catches the -.fancy of the house finds easy the task of making himself heard in spite of the usual confusion and the chnmber's lack of acoustic properties, was
Illustrated the other day when Representative John Allen of Mississippi, wlio will cease to be a figufe in public life next week, kept his colleagues hanging on his periods for 20 minutes,
while he talked, not of imperialWas, tariff, trusts op &ny of the sub-
Jects on which the congressional orn, tor usually speaks when he wishes to make the capitolian dome resound, bill. In favor of the establishment of a government fish hatchery at his home, Tupelo, Miss., a town which was struggling for a place in the poslal guidu when Mr. Allen came to congress, but which has become classic ground through his frequent oratorical (lights on the subject of Tueplo. Mr. Allen, by the way, made the same revelation concerning Tupelo that I'nictor Knott: gave to I lie world in his famous apostrophe to 1 11111111, namely, thai the horizon seems to strike the ground everywhere at about the same distance from the town.
Hon. .lames N\ Tyner, attorney general for lie poslolliee department, fakes special pride in the fact that he wits born in the upper White river valley of Indiana., which has given to the country as many men of prominence as any one locality west of the Allegheny mountains. The death of Maurice Thompson recalls to him the fad that Fairfield, the author's birthplace, is within this territory, where also 'leneral Lew Wallace. (loveruor Oliver 1*. Morten. Eads, the greatest engineer of his generation, who built tho Mississippi jetties and the St. Louis bridge. Hiram Powers, the greatest of American sculptors, whose best work, 'The Creek Slave," the most prized exhibit, in tlie Corcoran art gallery, Joaquin Miller, the poet, and a liosl of others, not so well known, but in little less degree useful to their country and a source of pride to their state, were born, (ienoral Tyner tells of Hiram Powers that as a boy he was given to modelling in clay with such skill that his work attracted much attention. A favorite playmate, a crippled child, died, and us a fit memorial the boy modelled a recumbent image of bis friend. It was true to life, except that the shrivelled limb had been made perfect. On this account the work was criticized. "Hut," said the future sculptor, revealing the depth of sentiment which made his future career possible. ",J iniinie is dead, and cripples arp made whole where he is now, in Heaven."
Senator Beveridge takes a great deal of pride in the fact that he was once a farmer, and has not allowed tlio skeptical remarks of Senator Tillman to wilt his laurels as an agriculturalist. lie took up Senator Stewart's statement that ancient agriculture was all by irrigation, not long ago, and compelled the .\evada statesman to amend the allegation by saying "nearly all. He also compelled Senator Tillman to use his celebrated pitchfork in digging for the roots from which the word "agriculture" is derived, whicH the South Carolina senain spite of his small claims as a classicist, succeeded in doing. Senator Beveridge watches legislation pending in the senate as closely as any member of the body. He carefully sttidies all bills that are likely to have consideration, and this between sessions, for he is a close observer of the procedure on the floor, •His chairmanship of the committee on forest reservations has led him to an exhaustive study of the subject of timber preservation, with special relation to its effect on agriculture. The preservation of forests bears so vital a relation to the precipitation of rain that it becomes an Important phase of government supervision to the farmer, as Senator Beveridge endeavored to prove to Senator Tillman the other day. with the usual result of an attempt to convince the South Caroliau against li's will.
Senator Fairbanks and Senator Beveridge are much alike in this habit of study. Few men in public life read more industriously or more intelligently than the senior senator from Indiana. Confidence in his judgment largely results from the belief that when Senator Fairbanks takes a position, he has already fortified it. Both senators give many more hours each day to their public duties than the average business! or professional man does to his occupation, and with both all other ambitions are very apparently subordinate to those which center about their careers iu public life. AY bile the two Indiiina senators are far from being parallels in all particulars. they have some very important characteristics in common.
Indiana will not be represented by any organization in fhe inaugural parade on Monday next, but the advance -guard of a small Hoosier army of visitors is already on the ground. The •preparations for President McKinley's second inauguration are the most elaborate ever known. One novel feature of the street decoration is a "Court no v«iq -10.1 Smpn.ijxo ..Jouoji jo each -side of the White House frontage on Pennsylvania avenue. Incorporated in it are the president'# reviewing stand, the stand occupied by the Republican national committee. *nd a number of 'decorated structures on which thousands of spectators will be sett ted, all connected with a series of arches and pillars which present a striking effect. It Is announced that nearly 40,000 marchers will be in line.
The most striking feature of the Inaugural parade will be, however, a little body of short and swarthy soldiers, wearing the American uniform, from the Island of Porto Rico. What spectator of the inaugural parade of 1S9C) could have foreseen that particular detachment of tho United Stares army, and along with It all tho sweeping changes In geography and in American political issues which ItB presence nt Washington implies?
