[ Special to The Uee.1 Ueccntly I explained the process of bringing about and maintaining a deadlock In the house of roprcsontatlvos This was In anticipation of the exciting scones which provalled iu tbo lower house ot congress last week , nnd which tnuy continue for some time , and It will bo renewed periodically during tbo ontlro lifo of this congress There wns ono fealuro of * these tactics which I did not mention It was thn pliyslcal force which Is often aopllod to enable a slnclo individual or body of mon to make a point In a parliamentary body There are bullies In congress and they are located In both brunches of that organization , Samuel J. Randall has boon the typical Dully ot the liouso for almost a quarter of a century ( but ho is no longer the champion of his especial role Mr Randall In Ins early days was a slugcor " When ho entcrod politics ho got bis strength from that element _ of politics that loves to attend prlzo tights rind stand at the bar nnd talk back " A number of times lu the lower house of congress men liavo walked from ono side of the great hull , during debate , to the other side , and clenching their lists tightly have pushed their antagonists under the nose and threatened physical injury Mr Uundall , during Ins days of rouust Dlosiquc , often cowed his adversaries and made u business of frightening timid men on the other side by standing ou Ids tiptoes and looking down from his six-foot ono holght , shaking his head and list , looking pugnacious nnd speaking words of diteful threat Men who did not know Mr Handull pcisonnlly but had nn lnl-lttig of his pugnacious inclina tions , were frightened by his worliko up- pcarnnec , and in a majority of instances ho had his own wny bj simply looking don goous During the past ten years there have boon several occasions in tbo house when the ser uciint-at-nrms or his deputy were compelled to tnltu the inaco in hana nnd with the au thority of law demand order Men have bceu seen to leave their seats on either sldo of the house nud proceed down to the semi eirclo space iu front of the speakers desk , reach for their hip pockets and utter words of vengeance between their tooth On occa sions like this the galleries were full of cianlng necks and there was an uproar of confusioti on the lloor 'iho speaker would pound his desk and cry for order , but there was no order Ther04jre u gooa many bulldozers und bul lies in this house un 'd they are not alone lo cated ou the democratic side It is true that Sir Uandall , the chiefiof all legislative bul lies , is on his sick nod , probably never to appear again lu the house ; but ho has in a gentleman from Georgia , another In Tennessee , another ' ' in Arkansas , and several moro colleagues , able cbumulons ot the character bully , 'i'hoje men talk loud , sling their disbcvclcd'lbcks , loolc pugnacious , shako their fists and.soinctlmos expose well tlllod hip pockets There used to be two or thrco men from Texas who wcro great bull dozers , and they nro yet In the house ; but for the last year or two they have been more quiet than some of Ueir colleagues Tbh is probably because therd will bo a senator elected from Texas within u short time and all of these gentlemen aspire to that scat They represent fighting , and intimidating constituents , and they-hesitateto glvo yont , to their loodrncies-Iest they might commit a fatal political error Men of this charautor do not make tbomsolves powerful in dcDato by knowledgo.of the subjects they discuss , but their natural powers of oratory , Tbey try to frighten their adversaries ana carry the house by storm It is fortuuuto for the country as well as tlio republican party that u man of Mr Kcea'a character is in tbo speakers chair IIo is ono of the best man-drivers in the country Ho knows how to crack the whip and stand on his tip toes at a height of six foot three and make mon take their seats in donate Ho is a good match for Mr Randall or any of his pugnacious followers If a timid or small man wcro in the spoukcr's chair there would bo many times on occa sions like these which have seized the house during the past week when that body would indeed bo like a Deer garden " Mr Rood Is equul to any emergency aud bo IntondB to show iho legislative bullies that they have their match once Persons who t.avo personal favors to n K 'of public mon in the way of urging claims ot various churactor In any of the departments , would save themselves a good deal of dlsau- pointmout and trouble If they would remember - ber two or three fucts There nro rules of pructluo in all departments and tbo pension bureau Is not an exception the Bamo as gov ern the practlco botora a court The head of a department is moro Jealous of tbo rules which ho established governing the presen tation of claims , the usking and grantint ; ot every kind ot favor , and the dispensation of Justice at largo , than ho is of any otbor pro rogatlvo It Is unfortunate that many people have the Idea that u senator , a representatlvo lu congress , or a cabinet onicer cr a member of the state central cominittoo orothortnan prominent in the predominant party can get almost anything throueh a department if ho but choose to insist that it shall bo done This is an error Ono cabinet oQlcor cannot secure from anotbor a favor which will bo a matter of public record , that the most hum bio citizen cannot secure It is truoln remote - mete instances , that cases are made special for ono prominent man which would not bo made special for n humble citlzoa But in stances of this sort are very rare now , A few years ago , before tno rules of depart purtments were so firm as now , and prior to the Just indignation which arose against pol iticians controlling the business In the de partments , It wns a comparatively easy thing for an Influential politician in tbo predomi nant party to have a case made special in a department or to secure favorable actton upon anythintr that was not fraudulent It was a very easy thing for a politician , or es pecially a loan In congress , to have a claim made special and pushed through to final action This practlco was an abuse It de prived honest but blimble citizens who had not the political inflaenconecossary tosecuro action upon their claims of tbo common Justice which the federal government owes to all of Its citizens It gave the politician an undue advantage and was kn Incentive to all having claims In the departments to back political "roundcrB" for the purpose of standing in" with the polltiealooutrol It will bo rofroshlug to learn that there have been rules established under tbo present regime which ! glvo ono citizen tlio same advantage thatfs granted another In presenting honest claims Men now take tlio order In which tholr favors are presented Tlicroisrlo favoritism shown Now that the censtls'siiporvlsors ' are being notntnatod by the pre&idont , those who de sire work as onuinoritors , in taking tbo con sul know to whomjttioy should apply for employment Thn senate will taka prompt action upon these nominationsand tbey will soon bo conllrmoa , This will place in the hands ot these officers the authority to designate who shull bo enumerators , and to go ahead In tbo organization of tbo approach ing summers work It Is true that the work ot tbo enumerators will not begin for some months yet , und that the employment will cover but a period of thirty days However - over , a largo army of enumerators will bo employed , It will bo no use lor tboso desir ing this work to send their applications to the census bureau here , or to men in con gress , Thn application should go direct to tlioHupervlior I might also add that the endorsement ot the chairman of the countv contrul committee will , It Is understood , have great weight in controlling these ap pointments There Is no ono who has a joottor' advan- tugo to 80 < i the proportions ut the growth of the west and nurthwest than a man In con gress No ono can make a contrast between the west and northwest on the otio sldo und New Emrland and the central states upon the other more striking and intelligently than a member from the west or northwest There Is scarcely any THE BEST CO-A.3L I Wo wrtnt our customers to bo fully sntlsflod , mid wo trunmutoo thnt they wi'l ' bo if they use our splondld Poorlo H Soft Goal , In nut nnd lump Every person who hns used it will nlvo testimony to its yood quttlltioa Wo have M now Ohio coal superior to nnd o'lonpor than Wyoming for itrnto use The qnnllty o . * " " H of our Hard Conl lg not oxoollod by ttuy on the mn-kot.
