Bygone Political Giants From the
State of Illinois Two Grand Old
Mn Prom Alabama Disparity of
Ages In the Senate Senator Mor
n.in's Power as an Orator Truth of
an Old Adage Illustrated Unprece
dented Act of a Soldier.
Copyright, 1902, by Champ Clark.
It makes one's heart swell with pride
ns an American citizen to recall the
names of tho men who held the center
of .the staue in the Sucker State from
about 1S4") till very recent years. Verily
there were giants In those days. Be
sides Lincoln, Douglas and Yates there
were General James Shields, the Illus
trious and chlvalrlc soldier and states
man and major general in two wars,
the only man who ever was or who in
all human probability ever will be a
senator of the United States from three
different states and whoso elllgy In
bronze adorns Statuary hall; Colonel
E. D. Baker, who became a senntor
from Oregon and died lighting heroical
ly at Ball's Bluff; David Davis, judge
of the supreme court, senntor in con
gress, president pro tempore of the sen
ate; Lyman Trumbull, for eighteen
years a United States senator and not
without presidential aspirations; John
A. Logan, major general, senator, vice
presidential nominee and according toj
the -evidence of General Grant one of
tho best two volunteer generals In the
Union army, Frank Blnlr of Missouri
being the other; Klchard J. Oglesby,
mnjor general, United States senntor
and thrice governor; John V Palmer,
major general, governor, senntor of the
United States, nominee for president,
who perhaps belonged to more different
nolltical parties than any other Amcri-1
can that ever lived; Ellhu B. Wash
burn, congressman for n score of years,
secretary of state, minister plenipoten
tiary and envoy extraordinary to
France; Judge Browning, who was In
Lincoln's cabinet; "Long John" Went
worth, congressman, mayor prophet of
Chicago; Leonard Sewell, the great civ
il lawyer; Emory Storrs, the brilliant
criminal lawyer, and a host of lesser
lights. Truly it was the heroic age of
Suckerdom.
Two Grand Old Men.
"Old men for counsel, young men for
war," is an ancient saw more honored
in the bleach than in tho observance.
Alabama evidently believes in the lirst
half of that hoary dictum. Whether
she believes In the second half this de
ponent saith not. She has the oldest
pair of senators in "the less numerous
branch" of the national legislature.
General Pettus Is SO and Is serving his
lirst term. That he is still in the prime
of his powers was clearly demonstrat
ed by the awful cauterization winch lie i
inflicted on Senntor Beverldge last win
ter, which set the country in n roar
and in which he made.tho cynical dec
laration thut "an orator is held to the
rules of neither truth nor common
sense."
Senator Morgan is 77 nnd on tho 4th
of last March entered upon his fifth
term as a conscript father. The com
bined ages of these two grand old men
make a remarkable showing for Ala
bama. Time and Space Ignored.
Another unique feature of tho senato
rial situation in Alabama Is that both
senators, live in the comparatively
small city of Selma. Usually there is
an unwritten age limit on senators.
Generally geography cuts u big figure
in their selection, but Alabama appears
to bo sul generis, Ignoring both time
and space.
It Is not unusual for a state to have
one old senntor nnd one young one.
Massachusetts, for example, yokes up
the sedate, venerable and erudite
George Friable Hoar, sometimes flip
pantly denominated "The Cherubic,"
with the youthful, brilliant nnd frisky
Henry Cabot Lodge. Iowa sends to
the senate William B. Allison, 73, who
has refused more cabinet portfolios
than any other living man, nnd Jona
than Prentiss Dolllver, 41, who after a
splendid career in the house is entering
upon what his friends hope Is n more
Illustrious career at the other end of
thocnpltol.
Morgan's Great Learning.
Senator Morgan began his fifth full
senatorial term at an age when most
men are In tho sear, tho yellow leaf
and resting from tho labors of this
world and worrying ns to their status
in the next. But of him it may be said,
"Time cannot wither him or custom
stale his Infinite variety."
All in all It mny be safely asserted
that ho knows more thnn any other
mnn In public life. Ills scholarship
may not be ns accurate as that of some
others In particular branches, but he
appears to know a great deal about ev
erything. In this respect ho closely re
sembles England's "Grand Old Man,"
Wllllum Kwnrt Gladstone. Uo also
much resembles him In the grace nnd
JnuntlnesH with which ho carries his
age. No mau looking at Senator Mor
gan's handsome face, raasslyo head,
sinewy fprm, noting his clastic
step or listening to his stntely elo
quence, which IIowb onward like the
resistless current of a mighty river;
would pronounce him to be past three
score years. ,
If the dictum. "Brevity's the soul of
wit," be true, .then Senator Morgan is
the lenst witty of the conscript fathers
present nud past except William Vin
cent Allen of Nebraska, who broke all
records for long distance oratory by
Bpeaklng UVi hours nt one stretch on
the bill to repenl the purchasing clause
of the Sherman law; Matthew Stanley
Quay of Pennsylvania, who consumed
llfteen legislative days In expressing
his views on the "Wilson-Gorman tariff
bill, and Senntor John P. Jones of Ne
vadn, whose masterful discussion of
sliver makes a large book.
But these historic linguistic perform
ances were only unusual episodes in
the senatorial careers of these eminent
publicists. Senntor Allen rarely speaks
at great length, Senator Jones is nei
ther a frequent nor a prolix orator,
and Senator Quny hardly over speaks
at all "In public on the stage." Until
the speech referred to he had been re
garded as the sphinx of tho senate.
Not a Dinner Gong.
Senator Morgan always speaks in ex
tenso. On any subject in which he Is
interested he knows so much and bus
so much to say that it requires a long
time for him to relieve his mind. Some
one asked him how long he could speak
on any given subject. "Oh," he replied
humorously, "if I study a subject thor
oughly and systematize my argument I
would consume about three hours; oth
erwise I could speak indefinitely." He
is never tedious, however. In splendor
of dictum, in wealth of metaphor, in
masterful marshaling of facts, in'nbuu
dance of Information, in lofty elo
quence, in intrepidity of spirit as well
as in the length of bis speeches he re
calls that Immortal Irishman, Edmund
Burke, who, taken up one side and
down the other, was perhaps the great
est transatlantic orator that ever spoke
the English tongue. Mncaulay laments
the fact that Burke delivered some of
his Brainiest orations to empty bench
es. He was uuooeu xiic uumur omi
-. i i iimi. . T- 1 T" 1 1
by some wag, who declared that
Burke's rising to speak emptied the
house "of commons as suddenly ns a
dinner gong would empty the public
room of a crowded hotel.
On the contrary, the announcement
that Senator Morgan is up at once Alls
all the seats and standing room In tho
senate chamber and packs the galleries
to suffocation.
It may be truly said of him, as Dr.
Johnson said of Oliver Goldsmith, "lie
touches nothing that he does not
adorn." Without extravngance it may
be affirmed that he exhausts every sub
ject that he discusses without exhaust
ing the patience of his auditors. It is
equnlly true that ho has never uttered
a dull sentence during the twenty-flvo
years of his senatorial career.
In the frequency of his speeches he
resembles though hardly rivals that II- (
lustrious orator, Charles James I' ox,
for that magnificent Whig declared
that lie had spoken every night except
two llutw uis iong parliamentary life,
and his only regret was that he neglect
ed to speak then.
Morgan's Intrepidity.
Senator Morgan Is utterly fearless
and perfectly loyal to his conceptions
of his duty to the people. These quail
tics brought him into antagonism to
Cleveland's second administration. It
was In the long drawn out debate on
the repeal of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman law that he fixed upou the
Gold Democrats the ludicrous nick
name of "Cuckoos," which is apt to
stick to them quite as long ns "Hunk
ers" nnd "Barnburners" stuck to tho
warring factions of tho Now York De
mocracy In antebellum days or as
"Snappers" and "Antisnnppers" will
adhere to their descendants of a more
recent period or as the names "Stal
warts" and "Featherheads" clung to
the two wings of tho Republican party
In longevity It may equal tho name
"Know Nothings," which has survived
for, lo, these many years.
In passing It mny be stated that the
amusement the Sliver Democrats dc-
rived from Senntor Morgan's happy
characterization of his Democratic op
ponents was about all they secured In
that celebrated debate. "Ho laughs
best who laughs last," and the gold co
horts had the last laugh on that occn
slon, nud It was loud, hilarious and
long.
Weapons Ready to Hand
Lord Bacon hath It, "Reading makes
a full man, conversation a ready mau
and writing nn exact man." The first
two qualifications Senator Morgan pos
cesses In a phenomenal degree. Con ski
erlng what a busy life ho 1wb led, it is
Incomprehensible when he found time
to learn so much or, having learned It,
how he managed to digest nnd asslml
lute it. His capacious head in no way
resembles a storehouse into which a
vast mass of things have been thrust
Indiscriminately, but rather a well nr
ranged armory in which is found .every
species of weapon, bright and shining
In Its proper place, ready for Instant
use, or an Intricate machine in which
every wheel, cog, spring and pulley
does with utmost precision its prcdes
tlned work.
He Is an academic scholar and a pro
found lawyer, one of the best In the
south. He bad never held any civil of
flee except that of 'presidential elector
on tho Brecklnrldtre and Lane ticket
prior to his election to tho senate.
Unprecedented Act of a Soldier.
Ho served In the Confcdcrnto nrmy
during the entire civil war, rising from
private to brigadier.
In one respect his career as a soldier
has no parallel so far ns I have been
able to nsccrttiln and for that reason
deserves to be known of all men. He
Is tho only military otllcer I over heard
of, from Joshua to General Do Wet,
who voluntarily resigned a goneralcy
to accept a colonelcy. While others
were fussing, fuming, fretting, sulking,
resigning or asking to bo relieved nbout
some question of rank or seniority of
commission ho by reason of his grent
love for the men In his old regiment re
signed his commission as brigadier to
commnnd once more the soldiers with
whom he first enlisted. In thnt action
Morgan has had no Imitators In all the
hoary registers of time.
Search through tho land of living men;
Thou canst not And his like again.

Golden Penciled Wyniidottes.
The Golden Laced Wyandotte, or, ns
it Is called by some, the Partridge Wy
andotte, it being as dilllcult for them
to separate a penciled feather of this
particular pattern and color from tho
word "Partridge" as It was In the .early
-days for our predecessors to separate
the word "Sebright" from the silver
laced feather, is already well known
at homo and abroad. Fowls of tills va
riety have not only been exported t
inatly foreign countries, but some o.
the best English specimens have al
ready fOlind their way back to Ameri
ca, where great popularity seems to be
assured them. They are of tho same
typo nnd size ns other Wynndottes, are
casilv bred true to feather and are far
more beautiful than the Golden Laced,
the variety which has been written of.
as "tho beauty breed."

The Suceens of l)e Illmvitz.
The secret of the marvelous success
of M. de Blowltz as Paris correspond
ent of the London Times is said to
have been due to the absolute and com
plete confidence with which he inspir
ed the statesmen, the politicians nud
the diplomats with whom ho was
brought in contact and which ho never
betrayed. They nil felt that they could
depend absolutely on his discretion, no
Vintter how great the temptation from
a Journnllstlc point of view to do other
wise. When the Duke Decnzes while play
ing billiards at the Quai d'Orsay after
dinner one evening suddenly received
the news of the purchase by the Brit
ish government of the khedive's stock
In the Suez Canal company and, wild
with rage, broke forth Into frnntlc
threats against the English govern
ment, charging M. dc Blowltz to make
Known his indignation nnd the fact
that ho was bent on retaliation, tho
correspondent of The Times, who had
been one of the party present, although
he saw the value of the news, made
no use of It.
The next day he met the duke, who
hnd recovered his senses and who,
grasping him by both hands, exclaim
ed: "I shall never forget whnt you
have done for us. Yon have sacrificed
journnllstlc success to your sense of
duty and to the cause of peace."
The Tall (irnNM of YiiuiiIiiii.
The sisal grass of Yucatan Is one of
tho most remarkable vegetable prod
ucts known. It grows in long blades,
sometimes to the length of four or five
feet, and when dry the blade curls up
from side to side, making a cord which
Is stronger thnn any cotton string of
equal size that lins ever been nmnu
fnctnred. It Is in grent demand among
florists and among manufacturers of
vnrlous kinds of grass goods, but ns
soon as It's valuable properties become
known It will hnve n thousand uses
which nro now undrenmed of. Ropes,
cords, lines of nny description and any
size mny bo manufactured of It, and a
ship's cable of sisal grass Is ono of the
possibilities of the future. It Is nlniost

Tho turquoise, although not credited
with cither remedial or protectlvo prop
erties, so far as dlseoBo was concerned,
wus nevertheless regarded as a kind
of sympathetic Indicator, tho intensity
of Its color being supposed to fluctuate
with tho health of the wearer.
Tho latter, however, by virtue of th6
stone ho carried, could, It was said,
fall from any height with impunity.
The Marquis of Vllena's fool, however,
was somewhat nearer the truth when
ho roversed the popular superstition in
his assertion that tho wearer of a tur
quoise might fall from tho top of a
high tower and be dashed to pieces
without breaking tho stone.
