HH.'lnl Oorr(oiidoiivo 1 Waiiiix(1ton. March (). A Broup of members i)f coiiKrt'HH and government olllcir.la svcro Hitting I" tlio easy ehalraof a hotel parlor a few iilf;litH iijo. talking about the Astorn and their wealth, the growth of tho money power, thn rise of trnstH, and tho probabilities of tin- ftitura iib to tho centralization of capital. A ma jority of the gentlemen present took a gloomy view of tho Hlttiatlon. They con tended that in the now order of tiling a poor man, even in the United States, liaa not a fair start in tho ruco of life, and that tho tendency of tho times is to make tho rich i ichor and tho poor poorer Fi nally one gentleman, a prominent llgnro In congress and in national politics, with a good deal of Heriousneas stood against what seemod to ho the prevailing opinion, and argued that as wealth Is so much moro conspicuous than poverty, its dis play always exaggerates its relation to tho nscrnge condition of things. "Let me tell you a story from actual lifo to illustrate my iHjsltion," Bald he. "I think I can show ou from n remark nblo incident, or, rather, a series of in cidents, of coincident, that in the United States a man needH neither tho piestlge of weaitli nor family to enahlo him to win conspicuous success in business or professional life. "Fifty yearH ago I was a barefooted boy living with my parents on a farm in ABhland county, O. Tho country was comparatively now, tho markets" were not good, and tho agricultural people were hard piessed to get a living out of tho soil. Money was scarce, nearly every one was in debt, and no one was pros perous or content. At tho cross loadH in Green township, near which we lived, there used to be an old blacksmith of the namo of Sttidebaker. Ho was a good old man, who worked pretty hard at his anvil, but for all that had a constitu tional tendency to financial prostiatiou. Ho had some Ixiys who were active young fellowrf and who Hied to help their father out, but in spito of all they could do, and all tho old man could do, tho blacksmith found himself moro than onco overy year sued for debt before a justico of tho peace known in tho neigh borhood as Squlro Allison. It was un derstood in tho neighborhood that tho old gentleman Studebaker owed nearly every one in that p.irt of tho country, and oery meichant in tho county seat whom ho could induce to trust him. In the same way about half tho farmers in tho township owed him bills for sharp ening plow shares, for repaiiing wagons and implements and shoeing their horses. The fanners were too poor to pay, and Studeb.iker was therefore unable "to pay the merchants who had sold him supplies. "One day, to the surprise of overy one, old man Studebaker loaded his family and a few household goods inton covered wagon and started west. All tho neigh bors had coiifldeuco in his honesty, and were bony to soo him go. Tho next wo heaid of bun was that ho had located at South Item, Intl.. where ho and his lusty boys had m.ido first one wagon and then nnothei and sold them at fair pi ices to the prosperous farmers of tho St. Joseph valley. It wasn't long before ho had made wagons enough to enahlo him to start an extensive wagon shop, and in a year or two became back to Green town ship, Ashland county, O.. and paid o cry debt which ho had left behind him. 1 remember how pioud the old man was of his ability to do this, and how glad his former ucighlors were to see him pros poring. Well, you all know tho lest. You know how that wagon shop grow and glow till it became tho laigost insti tution of its kind in tho woild. You know that his sons nre immensely wealthy and highly lespocted men. "Tho Squire Allison whom I have mentioned was a poor man, too. lie had a sou, Hill, who was fond of chow ing tobacco and playing ball and of shirking his work on tho farm, mil and I weie chums, barefoot boys together, and I lemember that ho often said lie was going to leavo tho farm at tho ill at oppoi limits . Finally lie got a chanco to go to Ashland, tho county seat, and study law witli a firm there who knew his lather, and in time he was admitted to the bar and hung out his shingle. He didn't have many clients, and for a time had to go through tho process of starva tion ami insolvency which is tho fate of all young lawyers in a country town. Ho natuinlly turned to-vard politics, and when the Republican paity was born enrolled himself as one of its mem bers and stood for county attorney on tho Republican ticket. Ashland was then and still is a btanch Democratic county, and young Allison was snowed under. Ho took this as a hint that that neigliliorliood was not congenial for him, and started west. Ho went to IJiibuqtio, la., and within (ho yeais his alillitiee and his popularity as a man had won for him a nomination and election to congii'hs. You all know tho remainder of the btory how he solved a number of years in the house, and then stepped up to tho bcnatc, where he has been for seventeen years. Senator Allison has never boon a success financially, though you will often we his name in tho papert ns one of tho millionaires of the senate. Tho truth is ho is not woith &JSO.000, and tho entire dosotlon of his time to public nfTuir.fi has left him without tho inclina tion or the ability to take a hand in the money ginbbing enterprises of tho times. Dut his lifo lias been a great success, ne ei theless. "Hy hoiho strange dispensation of fate that neighborhood of Abhland county, O,, has given a largo number of famous men to tho stato of Iowa. 0!if Samuel J. Kirkwood, tho war governor of Iowa, was a poor boy in Ashland county, who nlno studied law and for a tint" practiced befoio Squire Allison nnd other justices of tho peace. Tlioso who recollect him ay that even then he had tho same qualities of iu,;god honesty, oloquenco and shiewdnesj which have slnco made htm so Hiiivi'foful uw n ixmulnr leader. Tho llrst public olllee which he held sv una oi towiistitp clerk or Vermilion township, to which ho was elected in 1811. He, too, diifted west, and liecnmo governor, senator and member of the cabinet. "Judge Reed, now a member of con gress from Iowa, was a near neighbor of tho Kirkwoods and Allisons In Ashland county before they all went west. The judge sit) s he got his ambition to study law by hearing ICirkwood pettifogging a damage case before his father, Squire Reed, who for many yearn was a justice of the peace for Green low nsliip. It up peats that young Reed ran away from bcIiooI to bo present on that momentous occasion, an enterpilso whieli Involved him in a seiies of fictitious picas entirely in keeping witli the requirements of the legal profession. "Young Reed drifted to Iowa just lie foro the war, studied law, taught hcIiooI nml did csciytliing svlileli tradition hue assigned to the .south of all gicat men. Ho afterwards went into the aiiny, and as captain of a battery spent four'your in tho service. Ho is now ono of the gtcatest lawyers in tho west. Ho spent fourteen jcais on a nisi prlus bench, nnd for many years was clilef justice of Iowa. He has at once taken rank in congicst among tho influential members of the house, where ho has n bright future is? foro him. "Hut I have not yet exhausted tho list of barefooted loys who went out into tin. woild from adjoining farms in ABhland county, O.. to win success in the variolic walks of lifo," continued the gentle man. 'Congiossiimn McClellan, of Fort Way no, Intl.. used to wear blue jeane and drive tho cows to and from pasture on his father's farm in Gicen township. Now ho is a wealthy banker, and besidei holding a sent in Congress lias been on tho bench of his adopted state. Tho comptroller of tho ciiiiency, LMsvuul S. Lacey, of Michigan, is another of the haicfootcd tiavelcrs who drifted out of Ashland county before tho war. Ho is oneofthomostpopularineti in Michigan, has l)een in congress, and will eventually land in tho senate. The present sergeant-at-arins of the house of repiesentatives, A. J. Holmes, was about as jioor as any body could be when ho worked on a farm In Ashland county. Ho was a good loy, niacin a good soldier, was for many j ears a good congiessman from Iowa, and the meinbeisof tho Fifty-Ihst congress be liovo that his administration of tho olllee of sergeant-at-arms will bo so satisfactory as to reform, for nil time to come, tho loose business methods which have hith erto pi ovniied there. "Tho barefoot boys of Ashland county have not only marched to tho front in business and political circles, but thoy" have been equally successful in profes sional life. Tho nowspapers not long ono contained a stntemeut that Mr. .lames D. Springer, a noted railway lawyer of Minneapolis, bad accepted a $20,000 posi tion with tho piosidcnt of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe. Mr. Spiinger has the reputation in the uoilhwcst of being a really gieat tailroad Insvser, yet few nion have won success In the face of so many dilllculties. When his father started west fioin Ashland, O . about 1851. it was to better a financial condi tion that could hardly become nome. ' Springoi noser had any education, aH tho term Is generally undei stood, except what lie picked up in the distnct hdiooU of Ashland counts, and of the various plates in Iowa where his father fioin time to time icsidcd. "In this connection 1 will adtl that back there in Ashland counts lives a pi ouil old pedagogue. The now sonei nblo and lespectetl George W. Hiuh.iUt r has taught school in Green township foi many jean, ami had under Ins ehaigt at one time or another nearly all of the men I haso mentioned as having subse quently won success in tho vanous Holds of human endeavor. Ho says Hill Alli son was tho worst boy ho over hail, and that he thinks ho (logged that bos about a thousand times m four seals Still, tho old man's former pupils remember him with gratitude and affection, for Senator Allison and Springer and otheih whom he graduated tioin WobstorV spelling look and MediiUey 'h readout often stopoxcr at Ashland on their was east or svest to pay a sisit to tho old schoolmaster. "Ono moio instance of the lenmrkahle belies of successes won by baiofoot boy fioin atljoiulug farms in Ashland county," continued tho speaker, "and I shall have finished my story. One of tho boys Willi svhom Hrubakor had a good ileal of trouble was a chap named Stubbs. His father ssas a soiy poor man, and young Stubbs was a svild, rather uncouth south, who liked to urn asvay from school to go' down to the railroad and play among the cars. At 17 or 18 yeais of age ho caught the west em fo or, ami wont out on tho I'.ieilh coast and worked for a time as a time keeper or clerk in the employ of Stan ford ii Crocker, who were building tho Central Pacific road. Hut he bad good stuir in him, and from time to timo Ids einploseis advanced his salary as his know led go of tho railroad busi ness inoi eased anil Ids usefulness do seloped. Finally no Mas "hawing the handsome pay of 12.000 a i ear, and svm the geueial Height agent of tho load. In tins capacity lie ssas oinplosod mostly in leprcsenting tho Central l'a ciflciu thotiatllc nssociatiniiBof thocouu try , and in those meetings lie wa brought in contact with the best trained Ixisine-i intelligence in the woiid, lib cxlianidinary abilities sveiosoon recog nized nil ovei thocountiy, and tsvoscnn ago Phil. Almoin, of Chicago, who lim it penchant for hunting out tint hiighttM men to lie found and getting them at svliatever cost, olfcicd him $18,000 a yeai to leas o the Paeitio loads and go e island svorL for the Chicago, Milwaukee anil St Paul mad. Tho Central Pacific people sveie foolish enough to permit him to go, nnd Stubbs stayed with tho St. Paul till his old emplo.ters discos orod that tlu-s had lost n man whose place could not bo filled, iiiul whoso mofulncHs could not bo nieaniu 1 in money, So they svent to bidding for Stubbs, and in order to get tho man back luui to put up tho princely sum of JM.OOO n yenr, which is tho salary which old Hrubaker's former svild and uncouth pupil now draws. "These are not tho only InnlanceB I could glsnfrom tho farms in Ashland county of which I havo spoken," conclud ed the gentleman. "Other boys from tlioso farms havo gout) oor Into the woild anil commanded success nnd distinction. Hut I think I have given examples enough to bIiosv that the people of tho United States, in picking out men to do Its business In nil tho fields of thought and action, pub lic and corporate, business and profes sional, have no prejudice against thoso ss'ho start barefoot, but glvo to every man a free opportunity to make tho best that can be made out of life. The condi tions which have piovullod I belles e pre vail today, ami will continue to picvall In thlscountiy. Neither Socialism, Annrohy, Henry Georgeisni, l'dwnrd Heliums Ihiii nor any other ism or notion will U able to dislodge from the mind of the Ameii cau people that pi iiiciplo which from lite beginning lias assigned success to hull vidual eirott and personal ability to meet tho tests of competition in all the walkt of life."

A .islt to this liistoilo oltl city after the lapse of a score of years gives ono a sou of Rip Van Wlnkllsb feeling. Many or the an cient landmarks base disappcatcd, ami among the niins me new features elo quent with tho progress of tho new south. For a long timo the svnunds Inflicted by Ollhnoro's "Ssvauip Angel" might be seen on every hand, but in a great meas ure these huso nosv been honied, leaving only tho arabesque designs made by the great earthquake as reminders of a ca lamity even greater than that of war. To tho stranger Charleston is always attractive. Its quaint houses, tiled loofs. Inclosed gardens abloom with Mowers, its markets, tho negroes with their quaint dialect, Fort Sumter ami tly.) other places Identified with the long and tenible struggle all these are points of iuteresl that well ress'anl tho visitor. Tsvo or threo days ago I joined a part in an excursion tlosvn the harbor. Among tlioso on hoard were a lot of people from the country who hail never seen tho boii. and their comments svero in theinselven ss-orth the price of tho Hip. Ono of them was standing near the pilot house, and plied the captain with questions that would have tested tho patience of oltl Job. As a buoy camo In sight ho ex claimed excitedly: "I say, cap'n, stop yer boat; thar's a fellow 's lost his valiso overboard." When tho long drasv bridge os'er the Ashley rls'er svuh approached his eyes grow to tho size of butter plates and ho shouted: "Hold up, cap'n; yer goln' to butt right Into tho thing." And when svo glided through the drasv ho could only drasv a long breath of aston ishment and exclaim: "Wall, I'll bo dinned of that ain't the fust time I over seen a bridge split right svldo open." The Qalhoun monument always comes In for Its share of curiosity on tho part of iKith svliito nnd coloied. Calhoun stands upon the lofty pedestal in the attitude familiar to tlioso who have seen his pict ures, the tight arm extended and tho index linger pointing tlosvnsvards. A colossal statuo of Liberty is at Ids feet. this last named figuie was supposed, lis some of thermal visitors, to bo tho statue of Mary Anderson, but tho negroes de clared that ho was "pintin' at his ma." Tho people lioio are svcdiled to their old idols. A fesv days ago a number of octogen mans met in front of the old postolllce, and tho conversation turned upon the demolition of the building and tho wiping out of nnothei icsolutioimry laniliniiil.. -Yes," said one, "theie's the cell fioin which Isaac Hay no cuuio forth to meet his death on the. scaffold." "And theio," said another, "nro tho remains of the powder inagaz.ino svhicli tho patriots walled up with brick masonry when the British took possession, and svhicli was found safe and sound svhen tho led coats depntted" And so thoy talked -thoso remnants of a pioud ancestry and types of a perioti that in a fesv years svill havo no more lis mg s itnosses. A singular incident, has been i elated to mo timing my stay in connection svitli tho late Dawson-McUosv tragedy. A gentleman in gootl standing, but of spir itualistic tendencies, says lie has had communication svitli the mm doled Capt. Dawson, in which tho latter declares that ho lias met in "tho other land" a number of tho old Cliarlestonians svlio have crossed the border, among them James L. Pettigrosv, Mitchell King, and Gen. James Simmons, and ho ox pi esses himself as satisfied with tho Mc Dosv verdict. C. C. Hosven, the dead coiigiessmau, who became, notorious! many yeai sago dining tho carpet bag leginie, also communicated to the mo ilium that it svas through Ids influence that McDosv committed tho murder, he (Mcl)ow j being a resident of tho liousa formerly occupied by Hosven, who hail a grudge against tho fearless editor for publishing certain facts concerning him. Curious, isn't it, that such a statement should have a largo number of believers? Ono of tho most beautiful of the many ohm ities of this city (it svoulil bo unique nnysvhore) is what is knosvn as "tho Enston Homo." It consists of an entire village of cottages, dhlded by avenues nnd com ts named in honor of the founder ami hisoaiiy associations, "r.intotbiiry" and "Colstons oith" avenues being called after the biithplaeos of Mi and Mis. ICnston. One of the com is bears the his toric niiinoof "St. Martin's Cnntcilniiy;" nnothei is 'Queen Herlha's eouit," and a third is "St. Augustine's eouit." Tho beautiful cottages are not only gisen fiee to those who cannot ntroid ivnt.il, but oil, fuel and all appliances arc furnished, Mr. Huston camo to Aineiica svhen a young man, and this benellcenco is Ids testimonial to the people among whom Ids lot svas cast. The chaiity Is a pine ticnl one. nml Is svoith;. fir study by other ssealtliy men ami women who mav desire to enjoy tho pleasure of doing good before the Inss-yeis begin 11 litiug over their svllli.
