Kovlew of the Leaders in'a Memor able Parliamentary Struggle. (Washington Special to St. Louis Itepubllc,) Senator Voorbees Is not n great lead er. Ho is a very able mat), but his na ture is too kindly to permit of sufficient aggreeslvebess to carry ou with vigor a campaign against old friends. Mr. Voorbees' record is against bim. He has always been to champion of free silver, was a champion of greenbacks and always was the friend aud ally of the mn who mot bitterly fought the repeal bill. This placed him at a dis advantage, aud to a certain extent dis armed him. But eveu under ordinary circumstances Air. Voorhi.es could never bo a great parliamentary leader. He 1b a great advocate, but bus never both ered bis mind with the ttinaller detailt of parliamentary studies. His knowl edge of the rules, strauga to say, not withstanding bis long service, is not extensive. He ha thought more of the great questions at issue than the mejus of bringing them forward. Then, again, bis nature Is too kindly. He could not offend if he tried. He was never made to be a soldier or com rounder. It Is doubtful If bis heart wus over really Iln the tight, and unless Voorbees can get his heart iu the fight it is easy to do him up. A SINQULAK COMPOUND. Voorbees Is a singular compdund of genius and amiability. He Is one of tbo poorest men In the Benate,altbougb he baa bad opportunities to make fortunes. He nover was rich, he al ways lives up to bis Income and per haps sometimes ahead of It. He has fought some of the most desperate law cases for purely good will, aud without fee. jur yoornces, it appealed to by a person accused of crime In Montana, Louisiana, Tennessee, the mountains of Colorado, Texas or Malno,vou!d imme dlately respond, and uudertake bis de fense without the hope of reward, without hopo of having bis expenses oven paid, aud with hope of glory, ex cept such as tbo satisfaction of doing something that he liked conferred upon htm, Mr. Voorbees has defended and secured tbo acquittal of some of tbo most desperate criminals iu the United States, and yet he will not admit that he over defended a criminal. THE SILVER CHAMPIONS. On the silver Bide of tbo fight Henry N. Teller of Colorado was tbo leader. He did not come to tbo front uuless it was necessary, but when be took the lead in person ho was skillful, bold, adroit and aggressive. Unlike Voor bees, perhaps, Mr. Teller had his wbolo heart In tbo contest. Ho was absolute ly in earnest, so much In earnest, In fact, that on more than ono occasion ho forced tears to his eyes. Teller Is al ways cool, always watchful, and a master of parliamentary tactics. He can lead a filibustering party as well as any man who over served In congress. Teller baa a profound knowledge of the silver question. He has made It a careful study. In fighting for silver bo was executing the mandate of bis peo ple. Eutlroly Indifferent to public opinion outsldo ol tbo state of Colorado, despising Eastern Influence, m oio par ticularly tbo volco of New York and Boston aud Philadelphia papers, ho was a dangerous adversary uo matter how largo the tnojorlty against him might bo aud with uo rules of tbo sen- ate to control him. Teller always had a stook of speakers on baud. Here- served them whou the cess was engaged iu and filibusters kept caning ror lue presouce of a quorum every Ave or bIx minutes. Teller care fully kept his Interesting talkers silent aud mado bis dullest and most wearb some and tiring speakers entertain tbo eonato aud tbo galleries. BTKWAUT, PKFFEH KT AU This la the reason why Stewart did so much talking, and why Poller had o mpny opportunities, and why Allen or .Nebraska was allowed to bold the floor for 15 hours, Teller arguod, aud wisely, that It would bo no great hard ship to senators to sit In tholr comfort able cushioned ohalra aud hear a brll JIant and interesting spoeoh, Accord ingly he tried to vlolato.tbuooustltu tloa by iufllotlng "cruel and unusual ( pfctifeliBieiil'Hn sioking ou Btowartand ' 'lVfler am tbo other dullards when tbo ('MiateWM moat weary aud the calls for a. quorum were frequent. Mi, Stewart of Nevada, now CO years 'oM'ufid ono of tbo brat preserved men th senate, had enough of extracts from newspaper, pamphlets, reports, "ifa apache, tabled and letters from HMiks on band eo (hat lie could talk ilHKllimely at noy llmaltfif! under nuy pewJbla circumstances.' Llko Teller, Jftkwaitlflim enllMislHStltrtiiobimhiets. Although he ban frequently riuuiet) It Uiwfl l uo doubt that ho la largely In- terested If notdnectly, then certainly Indirectly In sliver mines. He was fighting to4 Increase tbo value of bid earthly possessions. Pefler, another of those engaged to fill up gaps in debate, has a voice that would give an ordinary man tbejlm- Jams if forced to hear him regularly or continuously. He has a thin, pip ing, rasping voice, aud very little of it. His talk Is of tbo wildest character, is invariably interspersed with resolutions of the Grange, the Alliance, printed pamphlets of Alliance lectures and letters from bis Alliance friends In Kansas. He is the worst bore In the senate. Jones of Nevada made by long odds the ablest speech mado in the in terest of sliver. Ho Is a man of great strength. Senators Vest and CoCkrell took an active part in the proceedings from start to finish If was Senators Vest's speech at the beginning of the session that set the pace for tbo silver men and endowed theha with courage; it was Senator Cock roll 'a aggressiveness and persistency that prevented many of the Democratic silver men from yielding to tbeiulluenco of tbeadmluistratloa long ago. The strongest speech mado for repeal was that of Senator Mills. The ables for silver was that of Jones of Nevada aud the most brilliant of the anti-repeal speeches was that of Daniel of Virginia, The speeches made by yaltball of Mis sissippi against repeal are considered by some of the repeal senators as the best argument in many ways ou that side of the question, Walthall always speaks well aud-uever comes before the senate unprepared. The venerable Senator Palmer of Illi nois, perhaps the oldest man in the body, was one of the most active mem bers of the senate during tbo contest. He never missed a roll call aud held his ground during the eutire contest as gayly and cheerfully as any of the younger men. THE ENFANT TERRIBLE. The enfant terrible of the silver men was Dubois of Idaho. He was a smasher of senatorial dignity, although the newspaper men have dubbed him "The Defeuder of Senatorial Dignity," a title which pleases him immensely. Dubois is a youngster. He graduated from Yale College and Is a native of Springfield, 111., where his father1, well kuown as "Uncle Jesse Dubois,'' was for a long tlmo a prominent Whig and afterwards a Republican politician. Dubois is a nephew of Senator Voor bees aud, perhaps, for that reason, be was put forward by the silver men to aflroutlng that senator. The uncle and nephew got along very amiably. Tboy bad no severe spats, although they exchanged some pretty sharp back talk from time to time, but always with a courteous string attached lo It; Du bois mado a good deal of character dur ing the contest; be proved himself well up iu parliamentary knowledge and a debator of first-class canacltv. Being the youngest man among the sil ver men, ho undertook the brunt of the fight. He has nover been absent from his seat night or day since the real con test began. He was the man to make things unpleasant for the majority. It was be who made objections to unan imous consent; it was he who opposed adjournments and recesses; In fact, he bad to perform all the rough duties that tbo filibusters bad to ongago In, but bo believed In his heart that be was serving bis people aud his state In doing so, and ho enjoyed his work. He never lost temper from start toflulbh', was always smiling aud agreeable and good natured lu tbo heat of every fiijht. hill's ma HIT. Perhaps the man of all others who mado himself a character during the last week of the contest was Senator David P. Hill of Now York. Every body expected, of course, that there must bo somethlug In Mr, HIM or bo never could have readied the height of authority that be enjoys In Now1 York state, but the belief was pretty general hero that Hill was merely a cunning, I lull,. .lllt,.l I ,. .

Mr. John Mnrtagb. of Chicago refers to Tho Sun an inquiry as to tho popula tion of the metropolitan district that is to say, the territory within a radius of 25 miles from the Battery. He asks if there are not 4,000,000 people in this re gion. Probably, almost certainly. The central point of the metropolitan district is by convention and common usage tho City hall, not the Battery.

In the Now Jersey region depend ent upon this metropolis population in creases at a phenomenal rate. Between 1880 and 1890 tho gain in Essex county was about 35 por cent, in Hudson about 30 per cent, in Passaio moro than 54 per cent, it is a moderate assumption to esti mate tho growth in the Now Jersey sec tion of tho metropolitan district at 10 per cent during the tbreo -years, K wo suppose that tho growth in tho New York section since tho stato census of 1893 has been only H per cent, the grand total is: figures as above 8,865,570 ualnin New Jersey Elnco 1600 81,000 Gain in New York since 1B93 45,831 0 rand total 3,092,407 Mr. Murtagh is perfectly safe in assur ing his Chicago friends that 4,000,000 peoplo now livo in tho metropolitan dis trict within a radius of 25 miles of the Now York city hall. New York Sun. War and the World' Pair. As the first great world's fair held in London in 1851 was shortly afterward followed by tho Crimean war, so some of its successors havo had moro or less great wars closely on their heels. If the world's fairs did not bring ou those wars, they certainly did not prevent them. But our Columbian celebration presented ono spectacle which is. prob ably without precedent and should bo of good augury. Many of those who witnessed tho great parado of sailors and marines on the streets of New York on April 37 mav not luvc boon ivindful of the fact that thoy saw Bomothing that perhaps has novor happened within tho memory of tho present generation and would not bo possiblo any whero elso in tho world "soldiers and sailors of Id different na tions with arms in their bauds united in ono festive array Englishmen, Rus sians, Gormans and Frenchmen belong ing to tho armed forces of rival powers that may, as is thought, at any moment como to blows among themselves peace ably marching with wiusketa on their shoulders aud sworda at their sides be hind one another in one column.
