SEOUL , Corea , Aug. 1. ( Special Corre
spondence of The I3ce. ) I want to glvo you
some Idea of Seoul , tbo capital of Corea. It
Is the center of the war trouble between
China and Japan. A battle may bo fought
In It any day , and the firing would wipe Its
thatched huts from the face ot the earth ,
It lies In a basin In the mountains and it Is
perhaps the most beautifully located cap
ital on the face of the globe. It Is only
twenty-six miles from the sea , and It Is con
nected with the port of Chemulpo by a poor
wagon road , which climbs up the hills and
over the mountains to get to It. The sluggish
Han river flows within thrco miles of It ,
and It was up this river that I rode In a
llttlo steam tug to a landing place not far
from the spot on which Kim Ok Klun's dead
body was cut Into six pieces a month or so
ago.
ago.Dut
Dut first take a look at Carea's chief sea
port.
port.Chemulpo
Chemulpo Is the place at which Seoul gets
all Its provisions. It Is now the liveliest
llttlo city ot Asia. There are something
like two-score gunboats In Its harbor , and
the Japanese have all told twenty-eight
gunboats and transports here. The harbor Is
large and land-locked by Islands. The tide
ha an enormous rise and fall , often as high
as thirty feet , and boats which get close to
the town are left on the mud when the tide
goes out. Chemulpo lies right on the edge of
the sea , with great hills rising behind it , and
It IH on ono of these that still stands the
house where Admiral Shufeldt met the Co-
roan commissioners In 1SS2 and made the
treaty which opened Corea to the civilized
world. Slnco then Chemulpo has grown to
bo quite a city , and It looks more like a
sllco of Japan than Ccrea. It has 2,500 Jap
anese and 3,500 Corean population. There
are less than 1,000 Chinese , four Americans ,
sixteen Germans and five. Englishmen in it.
The onjy American business firm In Corea
Is located In Chemulpo , anl this Is , I think ,
now closed on account of the war. It has
been about decided to regard Chemulpo as
neutral ground , and this will prevent Ita beIng -
Ing fired upon by either party.ore it
otherwise a single gunboat could shell It out
of existence , as Its harbor is open and un
protected.
The fighting has been at Ya San , which Is
about fifty miles south of Chemulpo. It was
at this point that the Chinese troops first
landed , and 1,700 came here at the Instance
of the king to old him In putting down the
rebellion. They did nothing to help , however ,
as had been incorrectly stated In the papers.
They merely remained at Ya San. In
the meantime the Japanese began sending
troops to Corea , nnd by the 1st of July they
had 7,500 soldiers In Seoul and 500 In Che
mulpo. This caused the Chinese to send
moro soldiers , but they landed all their
troops at Ya San , being for the time appar
ently paralyzed by the Japanese Invasion.
I learn that there is a decided difference be
tween the equipment of the two armies. The
Japs have landed their men with the best of
everything nnd have their stores complete In
every department. They have 250 cavalry
and abaut forty field guns. Including machine
and mountain guns. They have full stocks
of provisions and are supplied with pontoon
bridges , telephone lines and all the materials
of modern warfare. On the other hand the
Chinese are said to bo calling on the Coreans
to supply them with ponies , cattle nnd rice.
Corea Is very poor. The country la on the
verge of starvation , and the Chinese would
not bo able to carry on their war long by
rations supplied In this way.
THE LION AND THE BEAR.
The Japanese have demanded of China
that she give up all pretense of sovereignty
over Coroa. If China does thin she will lose
her reputation throughout the far east and It
may lead to the dismemberment of her gov
ernment. Her provinces are by no means
closely tied together , and the fight that she
Is making may bo for her existence as an-
empire as well as for a show of power In
the land of Corea. In the meantime the
danger of the other powers being involved
In the war Is very great. The Baltimore
nnd the Monocacy , our two gunboats , are at
Chemulpo. The French
man-of-war Incon
stant , Iho German gunboat Iltls , the Eng
lish warship Archer and the Russian man-
of-war Korcatz nro also In this same hartrar
nnd the other ports of Corea contain war
ships. The British are very much afraid of
the Russians. There Is said to be a man-
of-war nt Port Hamilton , which Is , jou
know , some distance below Vladlvostock , In
Siberia. It Is put there to watch the Russian
movements. The Russians are said to sym
pathize with the Japanese , whllo England ,
who sells tens upon tens ot millions of
dollars' worth of goods every year to China ,
favors her. If the trans-Siberian railroad
was completed there Is llttlo doubt but that
the Russian troops would already bo In
Corea. It may be so now , for Russia will
not tolerate any coalition between China
and England without coming to the assist
ance of the Japanese.
At any rate , a great part of the war haste
to bo fought on Corean soil , nnd Seoul will
bo ground between the upper and the nether
millstones. It may bo wiped out of exist
ence. If so , the most curious city on the
face of the glebe will pass away. I visited
It six years ago. and my visit of the present
year Included moro than a month ot hard
work. I have spent days In wandering
through Its streets. I have been Insldo of
Ita prisons nnd Imvo walked through Its
palaces. I have talked with all classes And
have seen all sorts of new things at every
turn. There are no guide books of Asia.
You will not find accurate descriptions of
Seoul In any books ot travel. The tourist
who comes hero without Introductions could
not find a lodging placo. There are no
hotels , and I am Indebted to my friends
among the missionaries , among the diplo
mats , and with some of the high Coreans
for my entertainment through these many
days. I despair of giving you an accurate
Idea of the Corean capital , It Is BO different
from any other city on the face of the
globo. It Is such a mass of the beautiful
and the ugly , of civilization and barbarism ,
ot the old and the no.w , that I don't know
how tq doscrlba It. Take Its situation. It
lies In a great basin furrqumlon by moun
tains , which In seine places are as rugged
as the wildest peatfs of the Rockies , and
which In others have all the beautiful
verdure of the Alleebanles or the Catekllli ,
The tops of these mountains oft rest In the
clouds and masses of vapor hang In their
raccsaes above tha green plain upon which
the city In built. They change In their
hues with every change ot the heavens , and
they give Seoul a getting more gorgeous
than jewels.
THE CITY WALL.
The basin below U just about larco enough
to contain the town , and a great gray wall
from thirty to forty feet high rum along
tbo tide * of theia hills , bounding the basin
* nil mounting hero nd there almost to the
V"J topa of th Iow r mountain * . U scalta one
hUl ot at Icaat 1,000 tett In height , and this
wall enclosed tht whole city. It wa * built
In nine months by an rmy of 200.000 work
men , about t > 00 yean are , and It li a piece ot
solid masonry , consisting of two thick walls
of granite packed down In the middle with
earth and dtonos. Its top li to wide that
two carriage ! could be eailly driven about
It , and It has , on the < lde facing the coun
try , a crenellated battlement , with holt *
largo enough for Its defenders to shoot
through with arrows. There are no cannon
upon It , and It will ba no means of defense
ngalnit tbo battcrle * of the Chinese or the
Japs In the present 'struggle. Its only u > a
In late ycari has been to keep out tba tigers
nnd leopards. This wall Is more than six
miles In length. It Is pierced by eight gates ,
the arches of which are as beautifully laid
and cut as those ot any itono work you
will flnd In the United States. Each ot
these great arches has a curved roof of
black tile. This rests upon carved wooden
pillars , which rise above the tops of the
walls and which form watch towers for the
soldiers. Over the great south gate , the
main cntranco to the capital , there are two
such roofs , ono above the other , which are
guarded at their corners by mlnlnturo de
mons ot porcelain , who seem to bo crawling
along the edges ot the structure. It would
not take much more than a Galling gun to
batter down the heavy doors by which these
n relics are closed. These doors ore bigger
than those of any barn In our country ,
They are swung up on pivots made by pins
fitting Into the masonry at tha top and the
bottom. They are sheathed with plates of
Iron riveted on with big bolts , and up until
now the common Coreans have believed them
a defense against the enemy. They have as
much ceremony connected with them as
other nations have with their forts , and
there era officers In charge of thorn who
would lose their heads If they failed In their
duty. Every night Just at sundown these
gates are closed , and they are not opened
again until about 4 In the morning.
The signal of their closing and opening Is
the ringing of a maislvo bell In the exact
center of the city. After this those who are
In cannot get out , and those who are out-
sldo cannot get In.
The greatest care Is taken ot the keys to
these gates. The locks close with a spring
and the keys are kept In the king's palace
except at the time that they are used at the
gates. The locks themselves are guarded all
day at the palace and are only brought
to the gates a short tlmo before closing the
city. I wish I could show you one of these
locks. Each gate has two of them and they
are each as heavy as a 10-year-old boy. It Is
all that one man can do to carry them from
one part of the city to the other , and when I
tried to lift ono I found my back strained.
They are of massive Iron. They are made
In the shape of a box nnd are two feet wide
nnd at least a foot thick. They lock with a
spring much like that of a padlock , and it
tukes a hammer to put them together.
When I lifted the lock the gatekeeper with
horror warned me to let It alone. He pointed
to my neck and drew his fn cr rapidly around
his1 own In order to let mo know that I was
In danger of losing my head. I still held
It and he rushed toward mo as though he
would seize It from my hand. As he came
up I dropped It on the stones. It clattered
and I stooped over and tried to raise It
again. As I did so I stood It on end and the
rod of Iron which was partially thrust Intel
the Iron box rested on the ground. The
Corean gatekeeper's face became ashy. Ho
grabbed the lock from me , and as he did so
I could see the reason for his fear. The rod
on which the lock rested on the ground
formed the means of locking It , and had I
pushed down upon It the spring would have
caught. Ho would have been unable to lock
the gate that night without going to the
palace to get the key and might have lost his
head for his carelessness. My Interpreter
showed me the trouble and ho told me that
the king would surely punish the man It he
know that the lock had been out of his pos
session. I then wont on to the gate and
looked at the clumsy fastening Into which
this lock went. The bar which I have spoken
of was as big as an old-fashioned poker and
the lock joined chains made ot links of
wrought Iron which were ai big around as
the biceps of a blacksmith , the rings being
as thick as your thumb.
It was Just after thla that the hour for clos
ing the gatea of the city approached. I
waited and watched. First two men came
from the gate house and sang out in Corean
the words that the gates were closing and
the time was short. Their voices were as
shrill as those of an Iman ot a Mohammedan
mosque when he calls out the hour of prayer
from the minarets , and they hold on to their
final tones for the space of twelve seconds by
my watch. As they cried there was a grand
rush for the gates. Hundreds of men In
black hats and white gowns ran ghostlike
through the darkness. Uaro-headed coolies
dragged great bullocks with packs on their
backs through the doors , and porters by the
scores , loaded down with all sorts ot wares ,
came stumbling along. There were coolies
bearing closed boxes , In which were their
mistresses. There were officials on horseback
and nobles on foot , all pushing and scrambling
to get In before the gates closed. As I
watched the big boll pealed out Its knell , and
the two men grasped the great doors and
pulled them together with a bang. It took
the strength of both to move each ono ot
them , and the gates locked with a spring.
The key , which remains with the king over
night , is not brought back from the palace
till the morning. It Is a masslvo bar of Iron ,
and It , takes a sledge hammer to drive It Into
the lock. Similar jocks are on the gates to
the wall which incloses the palace of the
king , and on each of the eight gates of the
city.
BIRDSEYC VIEW.
Inside this great wall , within this set
ting of mountains , lies the city ot Seoul.
It Is a town bigger than Cincinnati , Cleve
land , Louisville , Washington , Buffalo , or De
troit. It contains more than 300,000 people ,
and It has scarcely a house that Is moro than
one-story high. It Is a city of wide streets
and narrow , winding alleys. Ib Is a city of
thatched huts and tiled one-story build
ings. On one sldo of It are the palaces ot
the king. They cover an area as largo as a
thousind-ncro farm , and they are massive
one-story boulldlngs surrounded by great
walls and laid out with all the regularity of
a city. As you stand on the walls of Seoul
and look over this medley of buildings , your
first Impression Is that you are In the midst
of a vast hay field , Interspersed here and
there with tiled barns , and the three big
gest streets that cut through these myriad
haycocks look like a road through the fields.
Yeu nota the shape ot the thatched houses.
They are all formed like horseshoes with the
heel of the shoo resting on the street. The
roofs are tied on with strings , and the
thatch has grown old , and under the soft
light ot the setting sun It assumes the rich
color of brown plush , and there Is a velvety
softness to the whole. Aa you look closer ,
you see that the city Is divided up Into
streets and that these narrow and widen
and twist and turn , without regularity or
order. One part of the city Is made almost
entirely ot tiled building * . These are the
homes ot the swells , and over there not far
from the gate above one such building you
see on the top of a staff the American flag.
That Is the establishment of our legation in
Corea , and the cozy llttlo compounds about
It are the residences ot the missionaries and
of the other foreigners who reside In Seoul.
Como down now and take a walk with mo
through the city. There are no pavements
on the streets and you look In vain for gas
lamps or the signs of an electric light. This
city of 304,000 people Is entirely without
sanitary arrangements. There Is not a water
closet In It , and the sewage flows alon In
open drains In the streets and you have to
bo careful of your steps. There are no water
works , except the Corean water carrier , who ,
with a polo across his bock , takes up tha
whole sidewalk as he carries two buckets of
water along with him through the streets.
The clouds are left to do the sprinkling of
the hlchways , save where hero and tbora a
householder takes a dipper and ladles out the
Mwer fluid to lay the dust. All the slops ot
each house run Into the ditches along the
sidewalk and the smell com up
In solid chunks so thick that It
could almost ba cut Into slices and packed
away for use as a patent fertilizer.
Mixed with the smell li tbo imoke. Tbs [
comes out of chimneys about two fie } above
the ground , which jut out from the , walls
of the houses Into the streets. Pit a stove-
plpa Into your house at right angles with
tbo floor of tha porch and you nave the
average Corean chimney. At certain hours
of the morning : and evening each of these
chimneys vomits forth tha smoke of tha
straw which the paopls uib for tha fires of
their cooklnc and tha air becomta blue.
Ths doors to the hoUies along the street
ara more Ilka thoao nt a ntabla or barn than
the entrances to residences. They ore very
rude and ID tha bottom of eaco U cut a
hole for ths Uog. Such doors as we open
give no Insight to the homes ot the people ,
and I was In Seoul for some time before I
knew that theio doors facing the street
were merely the entrance Rates to largo
compounds or yards , In which nero very
comfortable buildings , I thought that the
nobles lived In these thatched huts. They
are in reality only the quarters ot the serv
ants , and the homes ot the better classes
contain many rooms and are In some cases
almost as well fitted for comfort as these
ot our own. These houses along the streets
have no wlndovva to speak of. There are
under the roof little openings about a. foot
square. These are filled with lattice and
backed with paper. They permit the light
to come In , but you cannot see through
them. Here and there I noted a llttlo eye
hole ot gloss as big around ns a red cent ,
pasted onto the paper , and ns I go through
the streets I flnd now and then a liquid
black ball surrounded by a cream-olorod
buttonhole , which forms the eyelids of a
Corean maiden , looking out.
THE NATIVE WOMEN.
I am human enough to want to study the
women of every country I visit. I found
this very hari In Seoul. The girls on the
streets wear shawls wrapped around their
heads , and only nn eye peeps out through
the folds. In India and Egypt the women
nro secluded , but when they go on the
street , If their faces are covered , they think
they are modest enough.
The fair girls of Cairo care not that their
dresses are open at the neck , If the black
veil bangs o'er their cheeks , and the
maidens of Hlndoostan trot along with bare
legs , while they pull thin white cotton gowns
around their eye * , priding themselves upon
their bracelet-covered arms and the an
klets , which reach half way to their knees.
These Co man girls are mere bundles of
clothes. Their feet in their wadded stockIngs -
Ings look as fat as these of an elephant ,
and their skirts and their drawers hang In
great folds. I happened to rub against ono
as I passed her on the streets ot the city.
She looked angrily nt mo out of the toll of
her eye , and fled like a deer.
As she ran I noted a gorgeous man clad
In a red dress and a llttlo hat of white
straw , which sat on the top of his head ,
looking at mo. He had a fan In his hand
and ho glowered fiercely upon me. I asked
General Pak who he was , and he told mo ho
was a servant of the palace , and that ho
did not know but that ho was related to
the girl , whom I had Insulted by touching
her. Wo looked at each other for some
tlmo nnd he jabbered at Pak In Corean He
was dressed more gorgeously than Solomon
In his glory. He looked as though he came
out of a bandbox. Ho was , however , only
ono of a thousand strange characters that
you may see any day on the streets of
Seoul. There are no stranger people on the
face of the globe. A masquerade of the na
tions could not furnish more strange cos
tumes , and In going through Seoul you rub
your eyes again and again to find whether
you are dreaming or waking. The kingdom
of Corea Is made up of many classes of
people , and each has its costume. There
are hundreds of officials connected with the
palace , each of whom wears a different
dress.
The nobles strut about In all sorts of
cowns. with their retainers In all sorts of
liveries , and you are all the whllo appar
ently looking Into a great kaleidoscope of
almond-eyed humanity with changes In
colors and costumes at every turn of the
barrel. There are different costumes for
all positions In life , and every1 man wears a
dozen different kinds of dress during a year.
If ho goes to a wedding he has his own out
fit , and If he goes to his relative's.funeral
ho must put on the garb of the mourner.
Death gives more work to the tailors than
weddings , and the mourners of Corea wear
long yellow gowns , with hats as big as
umbrellas above them. You can tell some
thing about the position ot a man by the size
of his sleeve , and there Is no place where a
\iat means so much as in Corea. For a long
tlmo I feasted my eyes upon what I con
sidered the pretty little girls of the country.
They were dressed In bright gowns. They
parted their hair in the middle , and they
tied the long braid which hung down their
backs with neat little ribbbons. Once or
twlco I smirked and I smiled , but I could
get no smiles In return , and I know now that
thtse little girls were no girls at all , but
merely young boys , who , not being mar
ried , have to wear their hair down their
backs. A tcr they are wedded they will put
on hats and wrap their hair on the tops of
tholr heads In a waterfall. All ot the men
of Corea wear waterfalls or topknots. These
are Just about as big as the flst of a baby ,
and they rest on the crown of tlio head.
They vtear gorgeous hats , and they are , I ba-
Heve. the best dressed men In the world.
Their customs are as queer as their dress ,
and they both fit so closely together that I
will write of the two In the futuro.

The tendency of the Expressions of tbo
citizens who have been at the trouble to bo
thoughtful about tha Improvement ot the ma
chinery of our government , Is toward the
elongation ot the term of the presidential
ofllco , coupled with the proposition that the
chief magistrate shall not bo eligible for re-
electlon. The contention of this paper Is tlmt
the better way would bo to choose a president
and vlco president at every election ot a house
ofrcpresontatlves _ , nnd to leave the matter
of re-election whcro It belongs , to the judg
ment of the people.
Wo ore amply guarded against prcclplUto
popular action , which was the apprehension
of the fathers , and the cause of the unchango-
nblo president for the period of two con
gresses. Our constitution makers were too
conservative. Where there are a crown and
a dynasty under a constitution the people
ple have their fling through a change of
government by a vote of congress or parlia
ment. The principle of royalty Is relied
upon as the balance wheel ; and wo have the
fiction of personal sovereignty reduced to
transparency. One of the lessons of the ad
ministration for over a century of our re
publican form of government Is that wo need
not bo afraid of the people. If they cannot
govern themselves no one can do It for
them. Jefferson regarding popular sovereignty
eignty was wiser than Hamilton.
IMPDACHMDNT RKSTHAINED.
It Is well that the executive government
cannot bo overthrown by a vote of congress.
The process of Impeachment Is restrained
so oa to bo almost Inoperative , and It will
certainly never bo undertaken save after
great provocation , or successful except under
circumstances the most extraordinary. It
Is fortunate that impeachment failed In the
case of Andrew Johnson , and the teachings of
his trial will long be profitable to the coun
try. The public virtue of patience Is to bo
commended exceedingly. The people are apt
when displeased with a president to long for
the immediate exercise of their sovereign
rights ; but It Is desirable to wait. Walt
all winter or all summer and BCD whether
the clouds do not roll by. Pause and note
the flight of phantoms clearing the air.
An executlvo-ln-chlef who could be deposed
by a vote of congress would not be strong
enough ; and to give congress the power of
summary removal of the cabinet would have
too much flavor of royal ceremony , and tend
rather to magnify the constitutional advisers
of the president by associating with thorn an
excess of Individual responsibility. Our sys
tem holds that the act of a cabinet officer
la the act of the president ; and It Is vindi
cated by the fact that as 5 rule the strongest
presidents have called about thorn the
strongest cabinets. It there Is a man In the
country too largo to go into the cabinet , the
president is too weak forchis place. The cab
inets of Washington and Lincoln are Illustra
tive. It Is a fatality for a commander-ln-
chlef to be jealous of his subordinates , and
ho Is a great man when. ! ho Is pleased be
cause others gather harvests of glory.
WE NECD TO UpPUDLICANIZE OUK
IDCAS ,
We , the people ot the , United States , have
felt the harness of republican government ,
and are satisfied that It Is strong , and wo
may say rather too stiff' In some particulars
The question Is whether wo should not relax
the restraint that is imposed by tha consti
tution upon the rapid exerclso of the public
will. Do v\o not need to republlcanlze our
Ideas as to presidents ? Wo should have
object lessons of education that the president
Is not our ruler. Wo are ruled by funda
mental and statutory law , and not by a per
sonage.
.The fault of the French In carrying on a
republic Is that they continue the old habit
of mind attributing to the chief magistrate
something of Imperialism. They do not re
gard simplicity as dignity. They are fond
of sashes and plumes and parades and In
sist upon a splendid officialism. There Is ,
however , a great deal of true republicanism
In France. The blue blouse and rough shoo
in the galleries of art , and the absence of
cringing In the presence of the representa
tives of public potency , toll that the revolu
tion was not in vain. We must guard the
presidency Itself from sudden Invasion ow
ing to a swift Impulse from some rushing
fplly , and wo should secure the offlco from
all Imputations of uncertainty and impetuos
ity. This is admirably done by our system
of presidential electors. Much has been said
favorable to the abolition of this alleged
complication , and the cholco of presidents
by the popular vote. The election by elect
ors has , however , more than once been the
salvation of the government , and Is now
keeping the peace. In so vast a nation vvo
must cling to local responsibility , and the
half million popular majority given In one
corner of the country where suffrage Is po-
cullar has power enough , and Indsed too
much In selecting state electors. The pop
ular majorities In remote and obscure re
gions to overcome by wholesale the greater
and moro enlightened communities would bo
dangerously disputed , for universal suffrage
Is nqt safeguarded so as to carry on its
face the warrant of absolute confidence.
WE LIVE IN A UAPID AOG.
We travel so rapidly now ! Wo gllda
across continent's and oceans at such a
startling rate ! Wo know the news of the
world morning and evening , and through
the journals wo are actually engaged In the
Parliament of Man every day. Time Is moro
valuable than It was , and the years are
longer than they were. If vvo have a presi
dent who Is too strong-headed or and it
amounts to the same thing wrong-headed ,
four years are rather too long to have him
blocking the way , while we cultivate the In
stinct of conservatism and console ourselves
by the reflection that the republic Is far
more Inflexible than a monarchy and Im
pose limitations upon our will moro sovereign
eign than royalty.
The most natural and pertinent sugges
tion of remedy for the Inconveniences of
which wo are conscious Is that the period ot
the presidency should be precisely that of
a congress two years and no more ; and
along with this should como another change
that the day of the'inntiguratlon ot a pres
ident must bo that ot tie | meeting of con
gress In regular session. , This adjustment
would hold fast to all that Is solid in the
limitations the people Impose on themselves
for their own good qnd , glve the public will
greater freedom and force. The wheel does
not lose strength because there Is moro play
on the axletrco. '
BOMB ODjnCTIdNS CONSIDERED.
The first objection Offered to two-year
teims ot the presidency Is that vvo should
have the terrible and , costly disturbance of a
presidential election tw'lcj as often as under
the existing regulations. The answer Is , wo
should not haveat all such profligate agita
tions as now attend presidential contests
Elect a president evpry two years and wo
take the plethora out of. the office , strip the
unrepublloan glamour from It and free our-
solvcs ot a sentimentality that Is almost a
superstition. If wu liked a president well
enough we could glvo him four terms ; and
It wo did not like him we would not have so
long to wait to get at him , The two-year
terms would glide easily Into each other.
The strain and the racket of a change would
bo reduced. The Intensity of olflco-seoklnK
for the tlmp of an administration would
subside. There would be something more of
comradeship than wo have now between the
president and congress. Tlioro would bo
loan talk about our "ruler , " and a real civil
service reformation take place.
The presidential office would not , It the
term were two years , seem so Inaccessible
us now. There might be a greater number
of candidates , but their anxieties would bo
lessened. The oilebrated bee In the bonnet
uould not make so much noise. The supply
ot ex-preildeuu would probably Increase ,
nnd their occupation ccise from troubling ,
Our form ot government would bo more
popular , and not less strong.
I have found In presenting the o views that
so thoroughly have the friend * of the longer
presidential term , without eligibility for ft-
election , occupied the public attention given
the subject , that n directly opposing state
ment la , as a rule , received ns If It bore a
label of eccentricity and ought to be con
sidered as amusing rather than ot the higher
order ot grave matters. The weight of the
proposition that the terms of the presidency
shduld correspond with the years of a con
gress , Is that It republicanisms the office
without weakening It , and gives It rather
assimilation with , than distinction from , tlur
congress which Is representative ot the
states and the people.
OtiAIND I-AVOHED TWO YEARS.
I will add , for the fact possesses Interest
for millions , that James a , lllnlno was of the
judgment there was no overbearing reason
for changing at all the constitutional pro
visions as to the presidency , but held If
there was n change It would be better to
make the term two > ears than six. This he
expressed In conversation with me , when
the time had como for him , that ho no longer
looked upon the office of the presidency as one
that was desirable or possible for himself ,

observe all forms of breeding In public places

cheerfully , "where It Is mentioned that there

"It Is also mentioned , " retorted his wife ,
"that heaven Is filled with these who have

It Is a great disadvantage to know the

Statecraft.
Tow people who read each morning the
proceedings of the previous day In both
houses ot congress realize the amount ot skill
nnd Ingenuity required to reduce the speeches
and colloquies of members nnd senators to
writing In so short a time. Persons who
have occupied the galleries of the lower house
during a debate , writes a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times , have noticed men ,
note books In hand , flitting about from one
member to another , and taking with lightning
rapidity the words as they come from the lips
of those engaged In discussion. These men
nro the congressional reporters the editors
ot the Congressional Record. There are flvu
In the senate nnd the same number In the
houso.
Their work Is arranged systematically In
"takes" of about one column of tbo Dally
Record , which consists of 1,200 words. In
ordinary debate the reporter will cover this
In about ten mlmitin , In running rtebnto from
five to eight minutes , and In the case of fro-
qiiout roll calls he may ba half nn hour In
getting a column. The reporter has , during
his "take , " entire charge of the floor , that
Is , he Is required to report all that is said
until he Is relieved. Ho then retires to the
reporters' chamber and rends his steno
graphic notes Into a phonograph ; a skillful
operator of the typewriter then takes the ma
chine and reduces the matter to typewritten
form. In this way they each proceed until
the speech has been delivered , and In less
than half an hour from the tlrno the mem
ber speaking has taken his seat , no matter
whether he has spoken ono hour or twelve ,
his speech Is placed before him ready for re
vision , If any he chooses to make.
AMUSING MISTAKES.
Some amusing mistakes take place occa
sionally In transcribing from the phonograph
owing to the similarity of words and Indis
tinctness. Once In the senate the reporter
gave the following sentence which had ap
peared in debate : "And Solomon , In all his
glory , was not arrayed like one of these. "
It was directly after the- great prize fight at
New Orleans , and when It came from the
typewriter It read : "And Sullivan , In all
his glory , was not arrayed like one of these. "
At ono time In the house a member had
used the following expressionVe ; have
'seen' the senate bill and 'gone' It a great
deal better. "
The typewriter. In transcribing It from
( he phonograph. Into which It had been read
by the reporter , mode it appear thus "Wo
hav.p steamed the senate bill , and warmed
it a great deal better. "
The reporters In the senate are under the
veter.m chief , D. F. Murphy , who has been
In active service since ISIS. Nearly all
the great men of the nation have b'cn re
ported by him , and In his note books at the
capltot are stenographic reports of speeches
made by Clay , Calhoun. Everett , Sunnier.
Edmunds , Conkllng , lllalne , Fessendcn , Jeff
Davis and many others. It was he who re
ported the impeachment proceedings against
President Johnson. His books also contain
the report of that famous word contest , full
of Invective , between General Hrecklnrldgo
of Kentucky nnd Senator Baker of Oregon ,
which took place in the senate chamber in
July , 1861 , as well as that later ono between
Ulackburn of Kentucky and Ingalls of Kan
sas.
FASTEST IN THE WORLD.
The stenographic corps of the house and
senate embraces the very crcarn of the pro
fession the fastest writers In the world. The
salary they receive , $5,000 each a year , seems
largo to the uninitiated , but Is really veiy
modest to those who fully appreciate the tre
mendous amount of work Involved. It Is
said that the strain caused by the excessive
amount of woik In repoiting the great tariff
debate on the McKinlcy bill caused the death
of one of the best stenographers at the capl-
tel , who died during that session.
Imagine the nervous tension when a
speaker , whoso vocabulary embraces n vast
number of words not In common everyday
usage , and whose rate of speed Is from 220 to
250 words per minute , talks steadily for an
hour nt a time. True , few speakers accom
plish that , but In a speech In the house dur
ing the Fifty-second congress , Johnson of
Indiana , a very rapid and fluent speaker ,
made the remarkable record of 220 words a
minute for exactly nn hour and a half. This
great speed would not have been so bad but
for the fact that the speech contained a larger
percentage of many-syllable words than al
most any other speech on record.
The parliamentary reporter must bo a
many-sided man. The range ot subjects with
which ho has to deal Is almost endless. Then
ho Is often called upon to pass from ono sub
ject to another without hesitation. In the
proceedings In congress , In the course of a
few hours , ho may have to report debates on
land claims which Involve the most Intricate
questions of Spanish and Mexican law ; ho
may have private pension bills , options and
trusts , quarantines against Infectious diseases ,
tariff debates covering every branch of In
dustry , and questions of constitutional and In
ternational law and parliamentary rules , and
i thousand other things , which make the re
porter think ho was born a fool to ever un-
Jertako shorthand.
A DIFFICULT TASK.
That his position Is not an enviable ono cin
bo readily guessed from the fact that an or-
illnaiy day's work when debate Is on consists
of about fifty-two columns of the Record ,
making about 52.000 words , and many times
this averages 1C5 words per minute for the
ilay. Then again he must change fiom
speakers who never talk faster than 125
woids per minute to those who reach 250
words In the same time. He must report
In congress the lavvver , professor and doctor ,
is well as the banker , farmer and manufac
turer , etc. , so tlmt ho may not only encounter
rapidity of speech , 1 ' a vast number of
technical words. In ny Instances ho Is
called upon to report sp . cues containing nn-
nlont quotations , Latin phrases , proverbs
couched In every Itno.vn language , with his
tory , geology , philology , etc. , followed in
rapid succession with poetical quotations from
Shakespeare , llvron , Milton , o c. He must
follow ono speaker to the clouds In flights
Df poetic fancy and accompany another with
jqual grace and case through the prosaic
ralleyt * of commonplace speech. Occasionally
i member unused to debate will fall Into a j
number of blunders In grammar. In each |
case ho must be equal to the occasion , and
It the language be unbecoming or slipshod
lie must take away a llttlo here , add a llltlo
Lhoro and be able to make the whole pre
sentable. Often In the midst of a cpccch
the speaker may stop to answer a question ,
jomo ono may knock a book from a desk ,
it sneeze or laugh , causing tlio reporter to
lose the climax of the sentence. Hero again
lie is called upon to supply the missing per
tion.
BLUE PENCIL WORK.
Olio ot the moat difficult duties of the re
porter is to distinguish In the midst ot a
looted debate tlmt which l Intended for the
lUbllcT car , and that which la merely private
: onveriatlon. An Instance of this was glvon
luring a recant roll call , when a member hud
} > en endeavoring to submit a dilatory motlou
, \hlch the speaker had ruled aH out ot order
riio Record of that date showed that the
nomber was engaged In private conversation
ivlth another member on the floor of the
louue when the speaker ordered them to be
luateil The congrehMiuin did not obey , and
, VBS heard to remark that ho would take his
itat when he got ready. This brought about
in animated dUcunslon , and ono of his col-
oagues moved that the offending member bo
jrought for reprimand to the bar of the
louse. Tha member afterward explained
.hat the remark was inado In private convcr-
latlon with another member , and was not In
tended for the speaker to hear , Still the
iwlft pen of the reporter had caught It In the
nldat of a noUy colloquy , and calmly treated
It In suou a uiauuor that the Record showed
the precise fACtt , nnd ptAcod neither th
np.flkcr nor the member In n falHo position ,
If the rcnlly private ronjvk of the mombrf
had been omitted frirtto the Record It wouUt
have left out the key to the whole slumtlon.
It U this Hre combination nt ilinrtlmmt
skill ahd cool , svtlft mid Impartial Judgment ,
which Is so necessary In rjpartlnft the hitter ,
tumultuous outbreaks which no often occur
lit the house.
LEAVE TO PRINT.
On many occasions members who have
never aspired to speech-making and who
have been elected to congress , Invo their
speeches written by some one experienced ,
nnd under "leave to print , " Insert It In the
Record. An Incident et this kind recurs to
my mind. A member could not muster up
the courage requisite to stand up nnd maka
n speech In the house , so he wrote It ( a
really good one ) nnd had It prlntul In th
Record under tha rule granting leave to
print remarks , At various points lie Inserted
the words , "Laughter ami applause , " "Groat
npplauio In the galleries , " and such other
expressions which appeared to have been
taken by the reporter. This speech ho Rent
In largo numbers to his admiring constitu
ent ! ) , who at once concluded that he was *
grsit man nnd resolved to re-elect him.
However , some friend of his , who was some-
whnt of n wag , caught nn to the manner
of his speech-making and gave him away
to some one. nnd his constituents straight
way nomlnitod and elected another man.
Another circumstance , which took placa
some venrs ago , shows the abuse ot tha
privilege to print In the Record Two mem
bers of the house from the same state , nnd
whoso districts joined , w.inled to my some
thing In support of a bill then before the
house , but neither cared to try to make a
speech on the floor. They had never spoken
on the subject for discussion , mid know very
little about It , In fact ro they resolved to
hive a speech written and Milimlt it under
leave to print remarks As neither ono
knew of the other's Intentions , by a cu
rious coincidence they both cmplo > cd tha.
same person to write n speech for them.
This person , not knowing their districts
joined , wrote the same speech for both , and
It was printed In the Hccoril and Kent out
In large nflmbers to tlio state from which the
members came. It happened that they cir
culated In both districts and wore read by
the constituents of both members , nnd the
similarity was quickly discovered It U
needless ( o add that these gentlemen hadfa
"dlcUens" of a time , oxphlulnc matters la
the satisfaction of their constituents.
A WYOMING POET
On April 12. 1SSO , S W. Downey , then a
member of the house from Wjoming , Intro
duced a "bill providing for certain p.ilnt-
In s on the walls ot tha national cjpltol. "
The next day he arose and offered n printed
aiKiimcnt In support of It nnd naked leave
to have It reproduced In the Record. This
leave was granted , and the next day Iho
other inemb rs were astonished and Indig
nant to behold In the daily Record , as tha
sole argument , n poem covering sixty pages ,
nnd entitled "Tho Immortals" The ponm
was dedicated to "the Congress of tlio
United Stales " It was , however , effectually
expunged from the bound Records.
It is not Infrequent that Hughablo mis
takes in speaking are mnde by the members ,
especially during exciting debates. Ono of
the most ludicrous was tint ot a member ,
who , in referring to ono of his colleagues ,
said-
said"Tho
"Tho gentleman , like a mousing owl , Is
always putttlng In his oar whcro It Is not/ '
wanted "
On another occasion occurred this expres
sion :
"The iron heel of stern necessity darkens
every hcirthstone , " and another member , In
a very forcible and dramatic manner , asked
the house this question :
"Would you stamp out the last flickering
embers of a life that Is fast ebbing away ? "
No less a man than James O. Illalnc , In
looking over the report of a speech ot his
made In the house , came across the word
"Illy. " which ho had used In tlio sense of an
adverb Turning to the reporter ho said :
"lib ; I don't know any such word. Illy la
a devil of a word. "
A mistake In the shorthand notes ot the
reporters Is nn unknown thing , so accurate
and careful are they , but that prlnco ot
stenographers , David Wolfe Hrovvn , relates
an amusing mistake that an amanuensis of
his once made In taking some proceedings on
a "bill to regulate bar rooms In the District
of Columbia. " When transcribed from his
notes It read :
"A bill to regulate the bare arms of ths
District of Columbia. "
