THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, POETLAND, APRIL 18, 1902.
31'
"HOT
ONE Sunday morning In early Sep
tember not many years ago, a cab
drew up at the door of a certain
New York club, which has long: prided
Itself upon its excluslveness and the
air of quiet decorum which prevails
within its walls. From this cab stepped
a gentleman of dignified, almost distin
guished mfen, who was saluted with 1
much deference by one of the youngger
members who paused to greet him on
the steps.
"I shall go back tonight," said the
newcomer. "I only came over for the
day to straighten dut a little matter In
one of the down-town districts." Then
the gentleman of distinguished mien made
his way to the smoking-room, seated
himself at a small round table and
called for a cigar and the morning news
paper. Now the membership of this club is
made up largely of wealthy, distinguished J
and conservative citizens of advanced
years, and three or four of the oldest
and most clannish of these were grouped
about the open fireplace as the new
comer entered. They eyed him sus
piciously and wondered who he was. No
one could recognize him, and the belief
grew that some .stranger had strayed
In at the easily swinging doors under
the impression that he was entering a
cafe. The attendant was questioned, but
be did not know the mysterious visitor's
name. Thereupon he was directed to
bring the signed check to the group at
the fireside, in order that they might
read the name and see if it was upon
the club membership list. The servant
did as he was told, and Just as the
visitor passed down the steps to his
cab, the leader of the inquisition de
ciphered the autograph on the bit of
colored paper and startled the others by
reading It aloud. It was the name of
the then President of the United States.
And while the old gentlemen were
looking at one another in blank surprise
and wondering how it could have been
that they had failed to recognize a
visitor of such distinction the cab was
bearing him swiftly to a quarter of the
town which Is situated about one mile
to the south of the aristocratic club in
which ho had passed unnoticed.
Not far from Grand street the cab
turned down a narrow street, passing
the kettle of a hot corn vendor, which
was beginning to send forth its appetiz
ing odors, and plunged into the very
heart of this district where history is
reckoned from the reigns of the differ
ent police captains and politics is the
chief industry of the inhabitants. Lying
to the east or the Bowery and taking
in both sides of the thoroughfare on
the blocks where the cheap lodging
houses are the most plentiful, this as
sembly district has long been regarded
as one of the most Important political
battle-grounds In the country and one
whose vote in a close contest might
easily determine the result of a Presi
dential election.
Half a dozen men were standing in a
group at the corner of a narrow, evil
smelling street that runs parallel to the
Bowery.
"There he comes now," said one of
them as the cab drew up in front of a
small, dingy-looking saloon, ostenta
tiously closed, barred and padlocked in
deference to the law. The President
alighted and walked quickly through the
side door, uhlch flew open the mo
ment he touched the pavement and closed
sharply upon him as he passed Inside.
The half-dozen men strolled away and
the next morning the whole district
gloried in the knowledge of Something
that never found its way Into print and
is even now known to but very few of
the citizens of Manhattan.
Once inside the door the President
walked swiftly through a narrow lane
formed by rows of dusty liquor casks
and Into the dark and grimy back room
in which sat the taciturn, hard-headed
little Irishman who was at once the
owner of the saloon, the leader of his
district and the wlelder of a political
power so great and far-reaching as to
compel the presence In his grdggery
that morning of the Chief Executive of
the Nation.
And ihile these two men the one a
self-appointed Irish-American "Warwick,
the other a ruler chosen by the fran
chises of a free and enlightened people
are facing each other across the liquor
stained table, deep In their discussion of
the entanglements which have arisen
over the distribution of patronage re
garded here as the legitimate loot of
political battle let us take a glance at
the extraordinary system that has grown
up from the ballot-box and rendered pos
sible Just such a meeting as I have
described.
The assembly district in which this
meeting took place is situated in the
most densely populated corner bt the
town and contains about 9000 votes, for
here population is not estimated by hu
man souls, but by votes. Women and
children, being unable to exercise the
franchise, are not considered in the
count The district contains a compara
tively small native and Irish element
and a very large number of Russian
and Polish Jews, together with" a goodly
sprinkling of German, Hungarian and
Bohemian immigrants who have lost no
time In becoming citizens of the Re
public Like other assembly districts,
this one is divided Into voting districts,
each one of which consists of a solid
block or square and contains from 200
to BOO votes. Each of these voting dis
tricts has its own captain, who reports
to and works under the district leader.
In nearly every case this captain Is
a saloon-keeper, a circumstance which
has given rise to the expression "saloon
politician," and to which Is due the
belief prevalent in the more polite grades
of society that political power Is main
tained by the simple process of supply
ing the voters with free drinks. As a
matter of fact, the district captain is
generally a saloon-keeper because the
business of liquor selling is one wlrich
can profitably be run in connection with
politics. A saloon Is a convenient place
of meeting at all times of the day and
night, and ranks with the barber shop
as a collecting and disseminating point
for all news and gossip of the neigh
borhood. Living, as he generally does,
In rooms above his barroom, and spend
ing most of his time behind his own
bar, or In his little private office in the
rear, it is an easy matter for the saloon
politician to keep In touch Trlth every
one that dwells within the lour streets
that mark the limits of his kingdom.
He must know the name and face of
every voter in his territory and to a
certain extent those ) of their wives and
children. He must keep the run of all
births, marriages and deaths, and at
tend every christening and wedding.
Above all he must do reverence to the
dead, for in the moment of bereave
ment It Is easy to get close to the
hearts of the poor, the dependent or
the exiled. If there is a wake m the
district, the captain steps softly In among
the mourners, presses the hand of the
sorrowing mother or widow, gaves pity
ingly at the corpse. and praises In low,
sympathetic tones the -virtues of the dead.
He accepts an invitation to drink and
on taking his departure leaves behind
him a bottle or two of whisky and a box
of cigars At the funeral, if the do
ceased has been a person of any local
consequence, th6 captain is usually to
be found with mourning emblems on
his person In a carriage very near the
hearse.
But the saloon politician must be able
to serve his fellows In many practical

ways, or his power will soon disappear.
If a Jew peddler Is arrested for sell
ing without a license, he must use his
Influence with the Judge to have him
discharged, or if that is Impossible and
the culprit is fined, he will often fbid
it expedient to pay the fine himself Jn
the hope of making the poor emigrant
believe that he the rich and powerful
saloon-keeper Is the only friend the
poor foreigner has In the country. He
must, moreover, obtain ball for any of
his clients who are held for bailable
offenses, and ha is not infrequently
called upon to provide -counsel for those
wno are put on trial.
All these friendly offices help along his
political aspirations and in due time
build up for him a personal .following,
but I doubt if all his efforts would
have much avail were It riot for
the extraordinary bowei Dlaced In his
hands by the distribution of what are 1
called "labor tickets," and this labor
ticket Is the backbone of the whole sys
tem of municipal politics as practiced in
the City of New York.
The labor ticket is simply a card en
titling its holder to a job on some
specified municipal work. Whenever men
are needed for work on the big pipes,
or In Central Park, or for street pav
ing or street cleaning, or lor anything
else that may be undertaken- by the
city government, or by the corporations
that desire the good will of that gov
ernment, these tickets are Issued accord-"
lng to the number of men required
When there Is a distribution to be made
the fact speedily becomes known in all
the wards that are populated by the
poorer classes, though there Is very lit
tle excitement in the "brownstone" dis
trict, inhabited by bankers, merchants
and lawyers. The taciturn little Irish

As soon as they come from the market

of lemon Juice or vinegar. Do not allow
them to boll, or they will be tough and
hard. Add a little 'salt when nearly done.
Simmer them for thirty minutes, then
throw into cold water to blanch them.
Carefully remove the pipes and fat before
cooking them, and when they arc- done
and ready for use, remove the strings and
fibers without breaking them up, if the
object Is to use them whole. Let them
get cold, then tie, each one in a piece
of cheesecloth, pressing It in oval or round

man whom We left Just now in Intimate
consultation with the President Is certain
to be on hand In order to secure for his
own district as large a proportion of the
tickets as possible. And he In his tum is
bcBct on his arrival at his own saloon
by all hia captains, each one of whom
wishes to bet the lion's share for his own
followers.
The saloon of one of these district cap
tains Is the scene of unueual bustle and
activity on the day of one of these dis
tributions. Every man on the block, who
is out of work and that frequently means
a large percentage 6f the adult male pop
ulation Is to be seen leaning against the
bar or buzzing In and out of the ever
open door Those who have money spend
It ostentatiously, for they know that will
ingness to buy liquor Is a personal trait
that, in the cyca 6f a district leader, en
Joys an even higher, rank than the cardinal
virtue of political zeal. It Is usually late
In the day before the captain returns, and
as he passes round behind his bar to his
private office, pausing only to glance at
the figures on the cash register, the poor
devils who are looking for a chance to
make their bread and butter flourish their
coins in the air In. the hope of catching
his eye.
It Is scarcely necessary to say that In
distributing the tickets the captain has
o kern eye for the main chance, which In
tills case le his own saloon. And if it
comes to a question of choice between Pat,
who can be counted on to pour nt least
oneor hta two dollars a day into the pub
lican's till, and Tim, who has contracted
the bad habit of bringing the bulk of his
wages home to his wife, It will be safe to
assume that Pat Will have the ticket If.

A CHAPTER OX RHUBARB.
Rhubarb or "pieplant," the stems of the
leaves of which are cooked and eaten as
sauce. Is an excellent -vegetable. The fla
vor Is very tart and the fiber stringy;
but when thoroughly cooked It Is rendered
soft nnd digestible. It Is a mild laxative,
and Is therefore useful in cases of chronic
constipation. It should not be indulged
in to excess by persons suffering from
gout and rheumatism, owing to the fact
that it produces calcium -oxalate in the
urine. This wholesome vegetable has not
received the attention It Justly deserves.
For' Instance, In Germany It is still cul
tivated as merely an ornamental garden
plant on account of its large, showy
leaves. The first rhubarb arrives Just In
time to combine with the sour. Juicy
oranges, which are highly valued In the
preparation of marmalades. Below are
given three choice recipes for using both
oranges ana rnuDaro separate or in cam
binatlon.

A
Aosembly district lfa the town was kept
so thoroughly in control as was this one
of 9000 enfranchised souls by the silent,
uglj;-faccd and resolute little Irishman,
who' sat in intimate conversation with his
distinguished visitor on this Sunday morn
ing In early September. (It Is s curious
thing, by the way, that the Jews of the
lower East Side are more easily led by an
Irishman thah by one of their own race).
And among all his 30 lieutenants there was
none more loyally zeelous to the party the
year round nor more efficient at the polls
on election day than ex-Assemblyman
Jimmy Martin, the captain, of the voting
district that can boae of more cheap
lodging-houses' than any .other block in
the city, and the" proprietor" of the very
prosperous Bowery saloon that marks the
center of his domain. Simmy Martin was
always deemed fortunate in the mimbzr
and loyalty of his followers, but there was I
one among tnem wno was Dcyona an com

cardinal Virtues of New York politics, and
that paragon was "Hot Corn Pete," whose

across the street from the Martin saloon.

phrased. It for he slept on the roof of Its
extension Just outside the bedroom of the
ejJ-Assemblyman, and came down early
In. order to sweep the place out for his

HOW THE PRESIDENT ONCE
ARBITRATED A QUARREL if
AMONG "LEADERS" if if if if
organization had been seriously ques
tioned. In fact, for the first time In all the 20
years that he had lived and voted In
the district and at the very beginning of
what promised to be nne of the fiercest
political struggles In the history of the
country. Hot Corn Pete had kicked over
the traces. Jimmy Martin's tin extension
roof knew him no more, and the early
morning bartender swept out the saloon
himself to an accompaniment of
blasphemous mutterlngs. The whole dis
trict knew of his dejection, and many
there were who declared his cause a just
one. Meanwhile the McManUs saloon
prospered through a rush of sympathetic
custom.
The Irish leader of the district, ever
on the alert to scent possible disruption
In thd party ranks, sent for the exAs
scmblyman and told him that the trouble
must be squared without delay; but Pete,
whom he found cheerfully Crying his
wares further up the block, refused point
blank to return to the fold, affirming that
the party had "done him dirt" and threat
ening to look to some other leader for
the reward that 0 years of patriotism
fairly entitled him to. The captain con
veyed this- ultimatum to his chief, the lat
ter lobked grave and angry, and Pete's
sympathetic following began to assume
alarming proportions. Discussion of th?
matter soon overstepped the limits of the
district dnd was heard in Fourteenth
afreet, in the City all, at the Albany
Capitol and finally at the seat of the
National Government. Like port wine
that Is sent round the Cape, it lost noth
ing in importance through its journeyings.
That the moving of a hot corn pot from
Its Bowery corner half way up the block
should become a subject for serious, con
federation at Washington may seem
laughable to those who regard the man
who sweeps out the saloon for his cock
tail as one of "the least of the many un
considered human trlfleB that make up
the flotsam and Jetsam of the East Side
population.
It is much easier to realize the Im
portance of the matter when we con
sider that Hot Corn Pete was the master
of two trades not only hot corn but poli
tics as Well and that all these things
happened on the eve of an election that
promised to he as closely contested as
that memorable one In which 550 votes
taken froin one side and given to the
other In this very state would have made
Blaine President of the United States.
Moreover, Pete's dislike for hard work
was so great that he never asked for
or desired one of the labor tickets that
Were so eagerly coveted by tho tollers of
the neighborhood, and now Jimmy Martin
himself was forced to admit that no
henchman of his had ever done more ef
fective work or been content with smaller
rewards than this one' who had suddenly
bolted for no reason on earth save that
his demand for a place In which he should
have good pay and nothing to do had
not only been Ignored but treated as a
huce 1oke. Worst of all, the ex-Assem-
blymdn had had the audacity to offer him
a ticket entitling him to the privilege of
doing hard manual work on the big pipes.
It was then that the worm turned at
last, and the very next day Pete was
crying his" succulent specialty a hundred
yards away, and the Captain was begin
ning to wonder how ne was to get
through the enormous amount of work
Incidental to the canvass and election
without his assistance.
Now, Petp Is a gentleman of leisure
from the first Tuesday after the first
Monday In November until the opening
of the hot-corn season In mid-summer. No
sooner are the market stalls heaped high
with the green tasselled ears than he sets
up his kettle and devotes himself to the
delightful practice of a branch of the
culinary art In which he has not a single
peer.
Politics begins with the waning of the
hot-corn season In the East Side calen
dar, and Pete's duties, which begin with
the canvass, are of a kind that can be
performed only by one who, like himself.
Is thoroughly In touch with his neighbors.
Working under the direction of his Cap
tain, he must see to It that all of the
drunken, careless and uncertain voters
on the block are duly registered. He must
attend all political meetings In company
with his gang, or "push," as It Is called
In modern slang, and be personally re
sponsible for the heartiness of their ap
plause. Through his offices the same band
of political patriots are Induced to march
In the political parades, bearing torches
nnrt transDarencles and cheering frantic
ally as they pass, the residences of those
candidates who have had the forethought
to "flee" Pete in due season. And at the
conclusion of these meetings and parades
It Is Peter who Is entrusted with the 510
note that is to be spent in treating the
boys, and careful he is, too, to do the
treating In the saloon of his own Cap
As election day approaches he contrives
to see the various voters In the Interest
of his Captain and "get their promise"
as the phrase Is. This part of his labor
culminates In a burst of unusual activity
on ihe Saturday night before election,
when the voters are coming home from
work with their wages In their pockets.
And It Is astonishing to learn how faith
fully the promises made under these cir
cumstances are kept.
But it is on the' day of election that
Hot Corn Pete finds himself with work
of a really delicate and confidential na
ture on his hands. At the opening of the
polls he seats himself Just outside the
booth with a list or me voiera m uie uio
trlct in his hands and carefully checks off
each man as he enters.
At 1 o'clock the district captain, who
has been busy getting his followers to
the polls since sunrise, takes a look at
the list. "Has Denny Dlneen voted yet?"
r he says.
"No," says Pete. "He's worxmg over
at the Erie Basin, and I told him we'd
voto his ballot for him."
"Here you, Pat," says the leader, turn
ing to one of the loungers, "go In there
and vote for Denny Dlneen's name for
him. You. Tom, go In and vote for Patty
Moran. He registered tho day before he
was killed."
In this way a score of votes are cast
for men who are working at some dis
tant Job, or too drunk to appear themselves-,
or who have died between tho
days of registration and election.
It Is Hot Corn Pete's duty to see that
all these Illegal votes are cast In the
Interest of his own party, and so long
as no attempt Is made to poll those that
belong-to the other side no objection Is
raised, the watchers taking the ground
that no fraud is committed as the votes
are cast with the full consent and In ac
cordance with the political belief of the
men who registered.
It was on the strength of these and
other services rendered to the party that
Hot Corn Pete based hl3 claim for recogni
tion at the hands of the Unltod States
Government, and It 13 because of
Its refusal to meet his demands, that
he started a mutiny which might have
spread through the whole city had not
the gentleman of the distinguished mien
come from Washington for the express
purpose ot squaring the matter.
That the matter was squared, together
with sundry others in the course bi the
interview between the two men In the
district leader's saloon. Is a fact well
known to every one at all conversant with
New York politics. At any rate, before
the week was out, Hot Corn" Pete once
more swore fealty to his party leader and
returned to his old lodging place on the
tin roof of the extension. In his inside
pocket was an official notification from
Washington signed by the Secretary ot
the Treasury, and setting forth the fact
that on the recommendation of the Collec
tor of the- port. Hot Corn Pete was duly
appointed inspector at the rate of ?5 a day.
And to his credit, be it said, that those
faithful ones among his "push" who wens
out with him had their reward, too. For
not One Inch would Peter move his corn
pot until every man jack of them had re
ceived his appointment as laborer at $2 a
day.
And neither the Inspector, Pete nor the
laborers who were appointed at his in
stance, have anything whatever to do ex
cept to sign their names to the payrolls
every morning and draw their wages at
the end of the month.
And often on Summer evening's When
the voice of Hot Corn Pete Is heard ori
the Bowery lifted up In praise of the con
tents of his Iron pot. men familiar with
the history of the district will point him
out to the stranger from afar, saying:
"That Hot Corn Pete, the man that
kicked up such a fuss that they couldn't
settle It till the President of the "United
Slates came on from Washington to square
It himself." .
