whllo newspaper men wero tllsoaol to

way, to help their fellow out of bin

ods, nor thumsul vest go about with loaded
guns necking tho blood of thu rcpresenta
tivcsof tho people. Ah n rule tho Iiouho
and tho profession get nlong pretty well
together.
At tho other end of tho Capitol tho
feeling 1m deeper. There tho troublo Is
of ancient origin. History is repeating
itself in tho hostility which Is now lead
ing tho senate to threaten tho wholesale
arrest of newspaper men for pi luting bo
called secrot session proceedings nml to
clone up tho gallery heretofore devoted
to tho use of correspondents. It is n cu
rious fact that tho very sedition law un
der which tlio sonnto proposes to prose
cute, correspondents, or ono very much
Hko it, wns passed early in tho history
of tho republic as u means of regulating
anil intimidating tho press. During the
tlnio of Washington and John Adams
tlio Anti-Federalist press was very bitter
in its criticisms of tho administration.
Tlio Aurora, an opposition paierof Phil
adelphia, enraged thu administration
and tho senate by printing, beforo tlio
government got hold of them, Talley
rand's dispatches complaining of tho
partiality of tho American government.
This led to deep jealousy of tho press in
administration circles, where newspaper
men wero denounced as dangerous mal
contents and usurpers of governmental
authority. In 1703 tho administration
passed the sedition law, and tho first vic
tim of it was Matthow Lyon, of Phila
delphia, who was tried for sedition, con
victed and sentoncod to four months'
imprisonment and to pay n tluu of $1,000
for printing n letter in which ho stated
that with tho president "overy consider
ation of tho public welfare was swal
lowed up in a continual grasp for power,
an unbounded thirst for ridiculous pomp,
loousn uiiiiiation nml seltlsli avarice."
Whllo in prison Lyon was elected to
congress and took his seat on getting out
of jail. Then an ctlort was mndo to ex
pel him as "a malicious and seditious
person, of n depraved mind and wicked
and diabolical disposition, guilty of pub
lishing libels against tho president of the
United States with design to bring tho
government into contempt." This reso
lution was defeated, and Lyon kept his
seat. Ho must have been a very pugna
cious sort of a journalist, however, for
soon afterward ho became involved in a
personal quarrel with a follow member,
Griswold, of Connecticut, nml they camo
to blows on tlio tloor, and one of them
seized 'thu poker from thu llreplnco nml
beat his antagonist over tho head with it.
Another resolution to expel was ottered,
but again Lyon was victorious, and ho
held his Beat to tho end of his term.
Tho sedition law was aimed particu
larly at T)io Aurora newspaper, and in n
tiort.tiiuo thu administration was in n
quarrel with thu editors of that journal.
All tho newspaH;rs stood together, just
as thoy nro likely to do at tho present
timo if the senato carries its spite too far.
Half a dozen prosecutions wero started

In 181!) two of tho greatest senators,
Clay and Calhoun, united In a movo
inont to exHl members of tho press
from tho door of tho old senate chamber,
whero they had been accommodated for
many years, nml send them to thu gal
lory. Tho movement wns successful.
Later, In Andrew Jackson's time, Reu
ben Whitney, who wrote articles for
Frank Hlalr's (Hobo, was threatened
with death in n committee room by Con
gressmen Hallllo Peyton ami Henry A.
Wise. Theso statesmen put offenslvo
quest Ions to Whitney, who retoited In
kind, and bloodshed was Imminent.
Afterward Wlso and Poyton confessed
nt tho bar of tho house that they carried
weaKiis with an intention to usu them
on Whitney if occasion arose, nml thus
it Is hhtory records statesmen and not
journalists as tho drst offeuilerH In tho
matter of carrying guns with hostile in
tent.
Tho famous Ciltuy-UravcH duel In 181)8
was tho outgrowth of n quarrel lxt ween
statesmen nml journalists. Cllloy, a
member from Maine, charged James
Watson Wobh, then a Washington cor
resH)ndeut, but afturwnrd editor of Tho
Now York Knqulnir, with having le
eelved a brilsj of $.VJ,000 from the Hank
of the United Htates. Webb challenged
Cllloy, sending his message by tho hands
of Congressman Graves, of Kentucky.
Cllloy declined to rucognizo Webb as a
gentleman, ami in that lofty manner
which some latter day statesmen imitate,
refused to "get into a diniculty with a
public journalist." Of course Graves
had to take up the light on his own ac
count, and promptly challenged Cilluy,
This challenge was accepted, ami tho
preliminaries wero arranged by Henry A.
Wise and Georgo W. Jones, tho latter
afterward a senator from Iowa, and still
living. Hides wero tho weajMius, and on
thu fourth tiro Cllloy roll dead. Hu luft
a wife ami three joung children, and,
having loon a very Kpular man, his
death in this manner caused a great deal
of excitement all over tho country.
It is worth whllo hero to pause ami re
mark that it was ono of these quarrels
between American statesmen and jour
nalists that gave to tho world tho modern
system of reporting legislative debates.
In waging their persecutions of the press
of Philadelphia, tlio Federalists of John
Adams' day found it convenient to drive
an editor named Cohbott out of tho coun
try. Cobliott retired to England and
there began tho first complete reports of
tho parliamentary debates ovor published,
whllo ho also conducted a great political
journal. Thus parliamentary roorting
tho world over limy Ihi said to have boon
born out of tho persecution of thu press
in free America.
Onu of tho foremost of American jour
nalists had a serious personal dllllculty
with a statesman. Moro than a third of
a century ago, when N. P. Hanks (whoso
white head is on tho tloor below mo as
I write) was sjK'aker, Horace Qreeloy was
a newspaper corrosiondent in Washing
ton. Ah iv corrosjondont ho was as pug
nacious as ho afterward proved to bo ns
nu editor, nml ho succeeded in rousing
tho iro of n big, six-footer congressman
from Arkansas of tho name of Host.
This flue specimen of tho statesman
mot Greeley on tho steps of tho old Capi
tol ami struck him with his fist, and was
following this up with his cano whou by
standers interfered. In tho letters of Mr.
Greeley recently published by Mr. Dana,
of The Now York Hun, this assault Is
oftou spokon of, nml It 1b, mndo plain
that while not subdued tho young cor
respondent lived in no llttlo fear and
trembling of tho personnl violence with
which ho was so often threatened. At
any rate, he armed himself with a re
volver, and allowoil it to become known
that he would not stand any more puiu
mcllng. After this ho was not molested.
Thoso wore fighting days. It was at
tho same session of congress that Mr.
Wallach, editor of Tlio Washington
Evening Star, then a struggling sheet,
now earning an annual protlt of
$200,000, was nttnoked on the street
by 'Extra Hilly" Smith, nn ex-con-grossman,
who was getting rich out
of some mall contracts. Smith knocked
tho editor down, but tho latter got

his assailant's thumb between his teeth", '
nml it wns nor-? known who had tho
besuof it.
An amusing incident of tho year 16!8
was tho wrath of o member of congress
from Wisconsin, William Sawyer, not
related to the present senator from that
state. Sawyer was vritten up in Tho
Now York Trlbuno as a "critter," who
ate sausages behind tho speaker's chair
and wiped his hands on his bald head,
"Then," said the article, "ho picks his
teetli with n jackknifo, and goes on tho
floor to abuse tho Whigs ns the British
party." Sawyer made n great fuss nbout
this, succeeded in winning for himself
the nicknamo of "Sausage Sawyer," nnd
in having IMcholleu Robinson, the writer
of tho artlclo, expelled tho privileges of
the door, Robinson uficrunrd became
i member himself, ami famous ns tho
twister of the Hrltlsh lion's tall.
In IH 18 John Nugent, a bright roHrter
on Tho New York Herald, obtained ks
lesslou of nn advance copy of Polk's
Mexican tteaty, a "confidential commu
nication" to tho senate. Of courie ho
printed It, and for his enterprise hiii ar
rested and brought before the bar of the
neiiate. There he refused to tell who
had given him tho document, and ho
wns put In jail till tho end of thiiHcsilon.
Theiu have been a number of such
cases as this. In 1H7U two newspaper
men, White and Hamsdell, obtained a
:opy of a treaty in advance of its consid-

iration In the senate ami printed it In
The New York Tribune. Tho senate nr
'algued them for contempt on their re
fusal to tell whence they had procured
tho copy, and confined tlieni for several
vceks in one of the committee rooms,
vhere they wore fed on oysters, terrapin
mil champagne.
A few years ago Senator Salisbury,
of Delaware, who never liked newspa
pers, organized an Investigation into the
manner In which executive session so
erets are obtained, ami threatened nil
sorts of vengeance upon tho offending
scribes. The senate marched up tho hill
with the old senator, did Its best to scare
some one, and then marched down again.
Hannibal Hamlin nice old statesman he
was, too liocntno enraged at a newspaper
writer oucu upon a time and endeavored
to have revenge upon the wliolo class by
Introducing a resolution to deprive the
craft of tho supplies of stationery which
they had been getting for use in their
galleries from the public stationery room.
Tliocorresiiondents proved that the value
of tho stationery used by them did not
amount to more than a few hundred dol
lars a year, and Invited the senato to cut
off tho supply. They did more; they at
onco began a merciless arraignment of
senators for the manner in which they
used up their stationery allowances in
the purchase of opera glasses and similar
articles for ladies who wero not always
members of their families.
Tho last conspicuous victim of a burn
ing desire to regulate the press is ex
Speaker Keifor, who, at tho close of tho
Forty-seventh congress, in rovengo for
some criticisms passed upon him in tlio
newspapers, ordered tho public admitted
to tho press gallery of the house. At the
first opportunity the correspondents took
possession of tho gallery and barricaded
its doors. Gen. Hoynton, dean of the
corps, and Mr. Barrett, now editor of
Tho Iloston Advertiser, stood guard bo
hind thatdoorall night, and when morn
ing came and tho public, armed with the
speaker's passes, presented itself for ad
mission, tlio door was hermetically sealed
to nil but representatives of tho press.
Ivelfer was beaten, and from that day to
this tlio press has been anything but
generous toward him.
Tho lesson of history would seem to bo
that the newspaper buzz saw is not a safe
tiling to fool with.

ple think him. It all depends on the

any such thing was, or will be, or wns
even thought of. If such a state of
things should by any possibility arise,
then I think" thus fond of the hypo
thetical, the parenthetical and the im
practical, and a confirmed dealer in sa
tire, side strokes, and tho most irritable
of irony, never himself calling things
right out by their right names, ho is,
curiously enough, nn admirer of blunt

Among Jack's neighbors I found a fooling
of a wo of the old man. Many of them hated
him because they believe ho had "kunjerod"

rneetful of him for foar ho would hear of
It and put n "bad sjioll" on them.
