HOOSIER ORATORICAL INTERESTS

Have Been Advanced Very Materially

by Reason of This Feature of Leg­

islative Action, Says George Lock-

wood—Our Washington Correspond-

ent Is Found in a Chatty Mood and

Narrates Several Interesting Inci­

dents of Capital Life. [Special Correspondence.] Washington, January 29.—Whatever may he said ol the value of the Philippine Islands to the people generally, it cannot, be denied that they have accomplished a uselul purpose in the promotion ol Hoosier oratorical interests. The Philippine question served as the text of the speech which brought. Senator Beverul^e to the lorefront as a figure in national polities. And now another lndianian. the successor ol Tom Brown. ere Wilson and Henry U. Johnson, orators of the first magnitude all ol them, has attracted the attention ol the country to lus spell-bindinc abilities bv a speech on the same new problem. Curiously enough, the parallel between the two Indiana orators who have jumped into public, lavor by means or eloquent utterances on the same suinecf, does not. stop here. They were lollow-stnilents and forensic rivals at Indiana Aslmrv university, the alma mater of that other silver-tongued IToosier, the late Senator Voorhe.es.

Mr. Watson is of the Voorhees rather than the Beveridge school of oratory. With his clear-cut features, his somber garb, his sweeping gestures Ins ornate diction, and a voice that seemed built for the express purpose of being used in a "speaker's stand" under the sfcv and the trees, the gentleman from Ttushvillo, as he held two or three hundred members ot congress and as many private citizens of the republic as the galleries would eontain under the spell ol a tongue that tosspd off rainbows, dew-drops, sunset slues and all the roseate and beatific splendors that made old fashioned eloquence lihe old-lashioned roses, a bit more enthralling than anvilimg that has put it out of style, must, have brought back to General Orosvenor, the Ohio veteran who sat near him the days when he was a vouth at Lafayette, and the gentlemen who affected white neckties and ireqnented the speakers' stands, had as much to do with moulding public sentiment as the newspapers do now.

The House Hypnotised.

It was Mr. Watson's second set speech since his second appearance in congress. His first effort was a disappointment, to ihose who had heard him on the Hustings back in Indiana. He spoke on the Porto Ricnn tariff question when the atmosphere of the house was surcharged with thunder and lightning to a degree which left no room for rainbows. But on this occasion it was l\ir. Watson's privilege to close the debate. A group of Indiana members surrounded him and gave him encouragement, bv applause during the earlier stages of his speech, and nresentlv the gentleman from Indiana was as much at home as he ever was during the closing days of a campaign the burnt district.. Bv the time he had plunged into his peroration the lion. James E. Watson "had them going." The patter of applause on the floor of the house was backed up with a thunder of acclaim in the galleries. When he touched off the last set p! ace the enthusiasm exploded with a bans. Mr. Watson had made the oratorical hit of the session. Republican members, from the most youthful and inexperienced to the veteran Galusha Grow, who was speaker of the house before the war. thronged about his desk to srive him the glad hand. The speaker rapped for silence in vain. The galleries were being emptied of crowds that, were buzzing the praises of the new Demosthenes of the Indiana delegation. The comparison is perhaps not invidious when one savs that "Jim" Watson is the greatest stump speaker in Indiana. There are men who can hypnotize an audience and swav it at will •without the audience knowing wliv. They are the real thing in the line of oratory, having with them the mysterious something that makes their speech effective when hundreds of other men might say about the same things without drawing anything from the crowd except perhaps an occasional missile.

Mr. Watson is a real orator, and the house discovered it last Wednesday afternoon.

Mr, P,obinson and the Hawaiian.

Delegate Robert W. Wilcox of Hawaii, a contribution to a special edition of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu, which has just reached the desks of his colleagues, relates with refreshing naivete the story of his transformation from a Democrat to a Republican. Mr. Wilcox came to Washington as a successful anti-administration Miniate for con Kress, and waii natural :y classified on the Democratic side. He says that a few days alter his arrival he began to look up his allowance for mileage— no small matter at 20 cents a mile each way for the 5.000 miles which lie between Washington and Honolulu. The serjeant-at-arms informed him that he must exn^nt to wait a while for his money. Mr. V. ilcox toM hia

I roubles to Mr. Robinson, the Indiana representative. Mr. Robinson- said that the taJJi about delay being neces­

sary was nonsense. Me took Mr. Wilsox to "Joe" Cannon, who told him he "would :ee about it." The suspecting Hawaiian soon discovered that other members of the house had drawn their allowances long before. Finally he called, in his extremity, upon two California members of congress—Republicans. They took him to the ser-geant-at-arms. who nromptlv and cordially paid the full sum due. "Then I saw Cannon," continues the narrative. "and told him what I had done, and he said, 'That is all right,' but it made a great impression on me as to the distinction between a Democrat and a Republican. Robinson, good friend that, he was. hurried off to do the best, he could for me, but was a Democrat, and all the answer he could get was 'Wait, have patience, and it will be fixed.' but: as soon as a Republican took the matter up. it was hustled right t.hrouuh. 1 spoke of this to Wood ia member from California) and he said that Robinson was an old member and should have known better. but. that if the Democrats had been on ton it would have been the other way." Afrer relating other experiences of the same kind. Mr. Wilcox remarks: "T rather cultivated the Republicans thereafter, for I had learned the advantages. Just before I lelt Washington in the winter. I bad a long talk with Senator Forakcr and explained to him my experiences with the Democrats and the Republicans in the house, and how the situation was in Hawaii, t.nat the party that elected me was neither Democratic nor Republican, but had pledged it sell to join whichever party seemed willing to do the most for it. I complained to him of some of the troubles had on account of not. being a Republican, and he said. 'You will have the same show as other Republicans if ou will add the word Republican.' told him I would have to see the peonle at home first. *. So Hie last time I went back as a Republican and they wore very kind to me." It. took Delegate Wilcox onlv one session to "learn the advantages" of belonging to a majority party, and yet some people are expressing fear lest some ol our newlv acquired citizens will Tie a little slow about assimilating a proper appreciation of our form of government!

Taylor's Audience That Failed. T\hen Attorney General Taylor was in Washington a few dnvs ago, some-

one called to mmd a confession of his about a speech he once delivered at Nashville. Brown county. As is well known. Brown counfv enjoys the distinction of being the only Indiana county untouched by a railroad. Mr. Taylor was billed for a speech at the county seat. Tie started from Columbus in a hack, with a driver on the seat and one man inside to keep him company. A furious rain began, and the roads became almost impassable. The heels went hub-deep into an occcMonal mud-hole and on more than one occasion it became necessary for the man who was billed to spenk at 'Nashville and knew there would be widespread disappointment, if he did not. come, to put his shoulder to the wheel and assist, the driver in making remarks suitable to the occasion. By herculean efforts' Nashville was reached not long- after sundown. Mr. Taylor took to the hall t.he aud'ence he had thoughtfully brought along—the hack- driver and the companion. The rain continued to fall, and then there are not. n?H:i\r "Re] '.illirp.nq in

T'rol,rn

count.v. When the hour for the speech arrived the local audience consisted of one person, a physician, who said that he was partisan enough to brave anything. Determined to fill his date anyhow, General Taylor prepared to talk, but at this moment, a horseman, covered with mud. burst into the door and demanded the presence of the doctor at a domestic event of unusual importance. This utterly ruined the aud:enee. anil ihe only remarks made bv Mr. "aylor in honor of the Brown county date were those suggested bv the exigencies of the home trip, and as there was more mud. more rain and more chuck-holes scattered along the wav. there were several of these

Hoosier Democrats Who Bolted. vo ol tr.e It. Democrats led by Mr. Cnmmings ot New York who broke away irom their party associates and voted lor the hull-million dollar appropriation 'tor providing protection and shelter lor trie soldiers in the Philippines. as tne bill put it. were rom Indiana. Messrs. Miers and Zenor.

Mr. Miers. by the way, is getting position lor the place ot leadership on the Democratic side when another Democratic house is elected. He is the ranking Democratic member on the invalid pensions committee. A Democratic sneaker would doubtless advance him to the chairmanship of one ot these important committees Mr. Miers is the onlv lndianian on the subcommittee having in hand bills for public buildings the group of states comprising Indiana. He is much interested in his bill for the erection of a statue of George Rogers Clark at Vincennes. and uy reason of his excellent standing with majority leaders in the house is in a position to push the project along.

There are several bills for public buildings in Indiana pending at both ends of the capitol, but whether any or all shall be favorably acted upon depends upon the attitude finally asum ed by congress on bills ot this character. It is getting to be pretty difficult to form a combination etron enough to push through amass ot bills of this sort carrying a huge aggregate appropriation—and It takes that kind ol a combination.

Frank Little got a glimpse of said watch and recognized it and reported it to Miss Martz, who started post haste to take it from Sutherlin who had sold it to Grant Miller as a present for his best girl. The said wat^h was taken from Miller by replevin and Sutherlin refused to make good to Miller, whereupon Miller became wroth and called upon E -q Goben to cause all parties concerned to be good and give him a judgment for the price of the watch together with costs and all other proper relief (huge chunks of the latter). After long consideration and due deliberation on Saturday last the plaintiff was given iudgmentin the sum of nineteen dollars, all accoutrements and camp equipage. Thus ends the third chapter.

By skill also, a skill in selecting tbeir favorite store, the people of Crawfordsville and vicinity have been saved thousands of dollars each year on their dry goods.
