MEMBERS OF THE XLVII CONGRESS.
If there is any man in the house
of representatives who represents all
that is best in political reform, his
name is Holman. He looks like Abra
ham Lincoln, but is not so large
physioally or intellectually. He has
the same chin, whiskers, and much
the same bump of conscientiousness.
It is said of Lincoln that when in
the house he objected to the consid
eration of the steals, just as Hol
man does but Lincoln had magnet
ism, humor, benevolence, and admin
istrative genius; Holman has mag
netism, no humor, no genius. He
may be benevolent; be certainly is
honest. He has served in nine con
gresses eighteen years; ha was once
a probate judge and once judge of
the court of common pleas, in Indi
ana, a member of its constitutional
convention and its legislature. He
has a national reputation. Where
did Carlisle put him on the commit
tees? He is fourth member of appro
priations and has no chairmanship.
Evidently Carlisle thinks the party
can get along without Holman.
Holman was elected first to the
thirty-sixth congress, and has served
in every congress since but three. He
is so cordially hated by the rascals
who swarm about the house of repre
sentatives engaged in lobbying bills,
that after the adjournment of the
forty-fourth congress a ''saok'was
raised and certain distinguished
Washington scalawags went to the
Indiana legislature, then Eepublioan,
and had his district gerrymandered
in the apportionment of that year, so
that Holman, when he reached home,
did not know it He vai taken out
of his old stamping ground and put
among people ho had never seen, with
2100 .Republican majority to over
come. He went home and brooded
during the next two years, but finally
got out and stumped the strange ter
ritory over. It was rough work, but
the next year the Democrats, who
hate him almost as cordially as his
political opponents, were hard up and
they nominated him for congress.
That was the year that Garfield ran
for president, and l4strong"' Demo
crats popped up everywhere. A very
able Eepublican (a Campbellite
preacher named Britchard) ran
against Holman, and they made the
campaign together. After the votes
were counted it was found that the
district had gone Eepublican by 2100
majority, but that Holman was elect
ed by 1700. The Washington lobby
has given up fighting Holman at
home. They are now talking of run
ning him for governor of Indiana, to
get him out of congress. This ap
pears to lie the only way.
"By objecting to the immediate
consideration of steals on private bill
day," said an-attacbe of the house to
me, "Holman saves more money every
session of congress than would pay
the salaries of both houses. I was
in the gallery one day when a lobby
ist offered a woman S503 if she would
get Holman out of the house for five
minutes. She went down stairs. At
that time ladies were admitted to the
rear lobby and she called Holman out
and began talking about some meas
ure she wanted him to support He
listened until his mouth apparently
got full of tobacco juice, when he
stepped to the door back of the
speaker to find a spittoon. In a mo
ment he had emptied the juice and
resumed the talk. The woman re
turned to the gallery to get her money.
'You kept him out, didn't you?' the
lobbyist said. The woman thought
she had. but when Holman stopped in
to pnit. he had said, I objectl' Unan
imous consent to consider the iob was
refused and the bill went over. The
woman didn t get the S500 and Hol
man stopped probably a $25,000
steal."
Perhaps it was Holman's presiden
tial aspirations that led to his retire
ment In Gox's case it certainty was
his brains. And then, there is Springer
and Hewitt but neither is so great a
man that his reti.ement from the
head of important committees would
cause any shock to the sensibilities of
the country. But in the cases of
Pendleton. Cox and Holman, a large
part of the country certainly has been
shocked. Speaker Carlisle's methods
of retirement were different from
those adopted by the Ohio legislature
in the case of Pendleton, but there is
some authority for the statement that
"Coal OU Johnny," a name now thor
oughly settled upon Mr. McLean, had
a great deal to do with Holman's
treatment, and oartainly the Standard
Oil company had something to do
with getting votes for at least two of
the candidates for speaker last De
cember. Many of the Democrats are
getting discouraged, and when they
point to the errors committed by the
leaders, say it is merely an illustra
tion of the ancient saw Demooracy
never scented a' victory from afar that
it did not become demoralized.
While Senator-elect Payne is blowing
hot and cold m Ohio, one day for pro
tection and one day for tariff for reve
nue, one day against civil service
laws and the next for reform, some of
the Democrats are introducing bills
to repeal the Pendleton law in the
lower house. Shaw of Hlinois and
Clay of Kentucky each h .ve a bill of
thiB kind, Clay is a grand nephew of
the great Henry Clay; he ssys he is
opposed to the Pendleton law be
cause nobody can pass the exam
ination of the civil service oom
jnission. "Why," says Mr. Clay
"under such an examination I doubt
it there is a man in Congress to-day
who could pass an examination for a
minor clerkship before that Commis
sion." Of course the leaders nevr
intend that Shaw or Clay shall com
mit the party to their policy. But
the bills must be reported, and sup-
5ose one of them should unexpected
y come up in the regular order,
would not the House pass it? Of
course it oould not become a law,
bat the parly might get itself com
mitted even on a vote to suspend the
roles. It is dangerous to have such
measures lying around loose.
No man ever led a political party to
eucoees without being obliged to do
things which seemed at first as fatal
as any of these. Persistent argument
'sad persistent demonstration may
'ghow after all that the retirement of
these men and the policy of the De
mocracy so far is right Speaker
Carlisle" is the homeliest man in the
House. Has a face, fleahless and ex
pressionless, a monstrous develop
ment of the frontal head, the bulging
perceptives over the eyes damaging
what few lines of beauty might have
ever ben there, a lean, sinewy figure,
crooked legs and generally grotesque
appearance. Sam Bandall is not a
handsome man, but he is a beauty
beside Carlisle. Both have eyes like
hawks and cheeks that would net
easily blanch. "I would like to see
Carlisle and Bandall at poker," said
one of the Kentucky men recently to
a group of newspaper correspondents;
"they would make your blood run cold.
If I had a face like either of them,
I would go back home and win all the
money in the state." In case light
ning should shiver the dome of the
Capitol some day when Carlisle was
occupying the chair, I imagine ho
would remain unmoved, and quietly
put the question on adjournment
- J
ng '
the walls around him tumbled in.
The possession of such qualities
makes him a natural leader, and the
House always selects a natural lead
er for sDeaker. A mere leader, how
ever, might not have the sagacity to J
originate and carry through a politio- j
al policy. Carlisle is not unlike the j
"Ohio man." heso latter are off the ,
same chip wherever you find them, ,
and a person who ever saw one could
fio anra nt L-TTtrtnrr onnMior nn cirfhf '

Protection to Settlers.
Senator Slater has introduced a
bill for the protection of settlers on
the land grant of the Northern Pa
cific Eailway which ought to bo ex
tended to all settlers on all land
grants that are forfeitable for non
fulfillment of the conditions of the
grant The Northern Pacific got its
oiiginal grant July 2, 186i. That was
a la nous year and day for land grants
to railway corporations. It was on
that year and day that the Central,
Uuion, Western and three other
original Pacific railways got their
grant doubled. The condition of the
grant to the Northern Pacific was
that the road should be completed
from Dniuth to the navagable waters
of the Pacific ocean by July 4, 1378.
When that time came but 531 miles
of the road was built and so much of
the grant as had no road constructed
through it was forfeitable by act of
concress. according to decisions of
the courts, and not otherwise forfeit-
able. Congress refused or neglected
to pass the act and in September, 18S3,
the road was completed. But in the
meantime, from July 4, 1878, to Sep
tember, 1883, many persons, believing
thas the unearned pari of the land
granted to the corporation was lost
to it by its failure to oomply with the
condition, and that it would he re
stored to the public domain in time,
settled upon the odd sections granted,
cultivated them and. made many
valuable improvements on the same.
All the homes o made and all their
improvements house3, barns, fenoes,
orchards, everything are in danger
of being taken by the company should
congress and the courts hereafter de-,
cide to let the grant of July 2, 1S64,
stand. The Slater bill provides that
all settlers on not exceeding 160 acres
of land so granted to the Northern
Pacific, if the settlement was made
prior to July 4, 1878, shall have the
right to the United States patents
for their lands, when the settlers
shall have paid into the proper laud
office Sii.50 per acre, or S4UU for lbU
acres; and that no patents for any!
suoh land so settled shall be given to
the Northern Pacific company. ;
This is good as far as it goes; but .
it does not go far enough. The bill
should be so amended as to protect ,
the rights acquired by settlers on all
railway grants that were forfeitable j
after settlement was made. Suoh a :
law might be construed as ex post
facto; but it is no more open to-
that objection than the Slater bilL
A liberal construction would be that
from the time the grant was forfeit-'
able the land was in fact public land.
The intent of the grant was in all
cases to promote and not to delay set-,
tlement and cultivation. The settlers j
have a right to the benefit of this
construction. No title to the un
earned part of the grant had passed
from the government to the corpora-
tion and no right to earn it after it
had become forfeitable could pass to j
the company without an act of con-
grass extending the time for the com-
pletion of the road. No such act of
grace was ever passed by congress
and may never be. It would be a
most unreasonable oonstruoiion of
law to say that the unearned land
within the grant should remain in
definitely closed against settlement,
cultivation and improvement, when
in fact it was to promote these things
that the grant was mide and not, as
the corporations we now arguing, to
enrich them and Cieate vast land mo
nopolies, exempt from state and local
taxation.
