Nov. 13. Special to Tin :
Di'.K.J The Fifty-second congress will bo
practically a now'body. A now element has
jumped Into politics , nnd fresh blood.whethcr
for good or evil , flow through the veins of
legislation. During the last two years , death
and defeat have been playing havoc with our
politicians , and the elections of lust week add
to the many who have fallen by the waysldo.
For twenty years ono of the strongest men
in the house of representatives was SnmuclJ.
Handall of Pennsylvania. Ho was an origi
nal thinker , and his iron will molded the
work of a largo section of his party. Ho
fought for Ills ideas through many changes of
party sentiment , and during the present con
gress ho died in the harness for a protective
tariff. The famous Pig-iron ICelloy came in
to the house while Lincoln was president and
for nearly a generation , his strong voice and
keen brain had their effect upon the ropubll-
J can sldo of the tariff question. Ho , too , was
* was a leader of men , nnd as the father of the
house , ho had great Influence and a largo
following. Now ho is dead , and the eulogies
_ _ of his fellow members are In the Congres-
BT5tial liocord nido by sldo with Samuel Sul
livan Cox , the hilghtest wit in congress for
the past generation , and a democrat who was
as strong In the free trade element of Ills
party as Sam Randall was
ox THE SIDK or rmrrncTiox ,
The death of Senator Beck took John G.
Carlisle from the ranks of the house. Mor
risen was long ago shelved by being put on
the inter-state commerce commission , nnd
now all that is loft of the democratic lights of
years ago are William S. Holman , the gi-e.it
objector , nnd "Hlse-up" William Springer ,
who has been tramped upon again and ncaln
by the ponderous feet of Speaker Heed , but
who springs up with all the elasticity of the
India rubber man at the circus.
The republicans , though they hnvo been
nflllctcd less by death than the democrats ,
xv have lost everywhere by defeat. McKinley ,
after a close fight , will have a chance to prac
tice law at Canton , Ohio , and Speaker Heed
will have to como down out of the chair nnd
take tholeadorshipof the republican party on
the floor of the houso. Ho will find many of
his lieutenants missing. Major Bon Butter-
worth has retired from political hfo and has
accepted the management of the world's fair
exposition nt Chicago. General Cutcheon of
Michigan , after eight years of active service ,
Is replaced by n democrat , and bold Bob
> Kennedy of Ohio , notwithstanding his attack
upon the senate , is elected to stay nt homu.
' One of the most noticeable changes in the
west will bo the retirement for the time of
Joseph ( J. Cannon of Illinois , For eighteen
years no. has been a member of the house.
Ilo cnmo hero when ho was thirty-six and
loft a splendid legal business nud the chances
of a fortune. For nine congresses ho has
nerved the republican party , and for at least
eight of these he bos been one of the lenders ,
on his side of the houso. Now , at fifty-four ,
bo goes back to his district and to private llfo
A COMI'MUTIVEI-T rooil MIX.
He once told mo thnt his congressional llfo
had been n poor investment for him nnd Unit
Uo would havebe < ju much \vlscr to 1mvo
stayed at homo and continued to bo a money-
nakcr.
Among other changes. I note that the oldest
and fattest men in this house have been loft.
Ucorgo Barnes of Georgia , who weighs -100
pounds , and says ho would not sell an ounce
Df his superfluous flesh tor JI.OtK ) , will go
back to his law practice In Augusta. General
Vandervcr , the old stager of California , will
carry his seventy-four years back to his dis
trict , and ho will probably not bo heard in
congress again. General N. P. Bunks is an
other old stager , who is replaced by a young
man , Sherman Hoar has his seat In the Massa
chusetts delegation. A number of the oldest
members In point of service have been re
tired and about ono-thlrd of the house is
made up of new men. The average life of a
business man Is twenty years. The average
congressman lasts only four years , and overv
congress sees about one-third of the heads of
its members chopped off to make room for
others.
Tlio rewards of politics in the United States
prow less and less as the years go on. The
average congressman of today is nothing but
the errand boy of his constituent and ho gets
paid for his services , a salary which will not
enable him to live as well hero as ho does at
homo. It takes him about four years to learn
how to do the business of his now position ,
and when ho finds things easy for him , ho
wakes up to learn that his successor has
been elected.
Quay deals In master stroncs , and nn ex
ample of his political methods was seen in his
turning the sentiment of sporting classes to
Harrison during the lost campaign. The
betting was all in favor of Cleveland nnd
Quay saw that It was going to influence the
election. Ho sent General Swords ono night
with $10,000 in cash to the Hoffman house
ano told him to bet this money on the elec
tion of Harrison , and bet Ci'en. If odds were
ofl'ctcd ho wus not to take them. The demo
crats wcro
* bUIU'lttSKD AT TIIK III.UFP.
Ten thousand dollars is a largo amount to
put up on a moment's notice nnd the demo
crats had some trouble in raising it. They
saw however that they would have to cover
it , and they took the bet , This fact was
telegraphed out over the country and also
the statement that the republican national
committee had made the bet. The next
night General Swords appeared again at the
Hoffman house with another $10,000 , und the
democrats had more trouble in covering this
than they had in raising the money for the
first one. The next night .Swords appeared
again with $10,000 more , nud the fourth night
Quay sent him up with another $10,000 and
ttio managers of tbo democratic party saw
that this was also taken. By this time however -
over , the bets on the result had been oven on
both candidates with the chances , If any
thing , in favor of Harrison and the change In
the sentiment had conslderablo to do with
the election.
Dudley's strong point in the last cam
paign for the presidency was his
wonderful powo r ot organization. Ho Is a
great man for details , and he knows how to
keep his men in Ktod working order. As an
instance of how ho manages such mutters , ho
had In the state of Indiana alone 1,000
imrsonnl political correspondents , und ho
knew how to keep every hustler liiibtllng.
Dudley did as much ns any other man at the
republican headquarter to make Harrison
president , and ho has , 1 ain told , not had au
Interview with the president since his elec
tion. Ho Is dovotlnp himself strictly to law
and pension business and his Income trom
those sources is about ftO.OOO a year.
And has President Harrison a kitchen cab-
InetlWell
Well , yes. Not n very big ono , nor n very
strong one , but it Is a kitchen cabinet all the
samo. It baa not the weight with him that
Henry A. Wise and others had with Presi
dent Taylor during his administration , and It
does not writu its messages ns did the kitchen
cabinet of Andrew Jackson , when Amos
Kendall and Major Lewis remodelled the po
litical Ideas of "Old Hickory , " Still It keeps
the president posted to a certain degree on
what is going on nbout him , and tries to help
him in doing what is best for himself , for it ,
nnd for the party. General Clarksou is ono
of the members of the cabinet. Another
mcnibo rot this cabinet Is Postmaster Gen
eral Wunnmaker. He and the president are
closclv a sociatcd in social and church mat
ters , and they talk over many of tlio ail min
istration points outside of their cabinet con
sultations. Wauntnakcr Is a good deal of a
diplomat. Ilo has studied the moods of the
president , and ho U blunt enough at the same
tlmo to
Ti't.i. HIM HU IH nitoNd
If ho tliinks so. Xbe uttoruoy General bai
very cloo relations to President Harrison.
Ho is not , however , on touch with the politi
cians and don't know enough about what is
; oing on to bo much of an adviser. He was
President Harrison's old law partner , and
understands him very well. Secretary
Tracy has find much closer , relations with
President Harrison since his wife died. Ho
can hardly be called a member of the kitchen
cabinet , and the same is true of Secretaries
Proctor and No bio. One of the closest
friends here , nnd ono in whom he seems to
tiavo implicit confidence is Dan Uansdell ,
the marshal of the district. Ho is n one-
armed soldier and an old comrade of Presi
dent Harrison's. Ho is always around and
amongst the people , nnd ho keeps the presi
dent posted to a certain extent as to what
Is going on. It was ho who was the go-be
tween of the president and Tanner at the
time of their trouble , nnd ho Is assuredly ono
of the kitchen cabinet. Another man in
whom the president has great confidence ,
and who will have moro influence than ever ,
Is Louis T. Alichencr , the attorney general of
the state of Illinois , and the chairman of the
state republican committee. Ho Is , I under
stand , coming to AVashlngton to bo partner
with Dudley in his pension and law business ,
nnd ho will bo a constant visitor at the whlto
house. As to the president's own family , I
don't think Elijah Halford Is as good n mixer
ns Dan Lament , hut ho is the watch
dog of the president's private office , and
has more or less Influence. Husscll
Harrison is not hero enough to give his
opinions and Bob McICee is devoting himself
to his bhoo business In Indianapolis. This
man wonld bo a very valuable addition to the
president's political family. Ho is a quiet ,
pleasant mannered fellow of thirty-six with
good address. Ho does the. president good
wherever ho goes and ho is very plain und
outrspoken In his expressions of the situa
tion to him.
I had a talk today with the Kev. Doctor
Martin , the president of the Imperial college -
lego nt Peking. Ho has Just como from
China nnd ho Is spending a few months In
America In getting out a book on the Philoso
phy and Kducation of the Chinese There is
perhaps no man In the world outside of
Ctiina who is better posted on the Chinese
and the Chlnc.se government than Dr.
Martin. For the past thirty years ho has
been ono of the leading Chinese ofticluls , and
though bo Is an American , ho draws a big
salary from the emperor of China and ho is
employed to take charge of the college which
Eii'OAn : , Tin : inu.vo
Chinamen and Tartars of high degree in
our sciences. Many of the best Chinese di
plomats who now represent China nt foreign
courts are graduates of Dr. Mnrtln.s school ,
and ho tells mo that the college is limited to
one hundred and twenty pupils and that
these pupils receive regular salaries from the
emperor while thov are in college , and they
are sure of government positions if they pnss
the examinations. Ho tells mo that the-
Chinese youth Is fully ns bright as the Amer
ican youth , and he predicts u great change in
China when our knowledge shall become
wide-spread.
1 Kaskcd Dr. Martin whether ho thought the
Clilncse pcoplo had deteriorated and whether
the nation had passed Its prime. Ho replied :
"I think that the Chinese mind Is n * bright
today ns It has over been and It seems to mo
that the Chinese nro to bo ono of the four
great ixioplo in the future. These four will
be ttio Germans , the Anglo-Saxons including
the Knglish und Americans , nnd the Chinese ,
and I think that China will hold Its position
with tlio rest. You do not get the best pro
ducts of ( Jhinn in your Chiilcsa population.
Those who have como to this country have
been mainly from the south of China , whcro
the pooiilo are the poorest , nnd only the poor
est and most Ignorant have comu to this
country. The people of the north nro taller
and better built. They are strong limbed
mid they have line faces. They do not desire -
sire to emigrate and though the Chinese gov
ernment docs not feel at nil pleased at the
treatment she has received from America , it
is not at all anxious to have its people como
to this country. I think the actlbn of con
gress In expelling the Chinese has materially
I.NJtllKI ) THE AMEIIICAX IXTEHESTS
in the fur east , and I do not apprehend that
Americans will over get the concessions as
to railroads and banking which they expected
to obtain a few years ago. You asked mo as
to the young emperor. He Is doing very well
nnd shows himself to bo a man of brains and
of progressive instincts. Ho has the inter
est * ; of the pcoplo at heart and his adininis-
ti-atlon Is popular. FKAXK G. CAIII-I.MIU. :

NIOIIHAKA , Neb. , Nov. H. [ Special to Tin :
UKI : . ] The rapid growth of our state and
adjoining frontiers Is taking from them many
of these unique means of travel known only
to our west. The "way back east" means of
conveyance In the early tunes was a very
tame affair , and these long voyages by water
along the Atlantic coast to America's great
est city afforded none of the same excite
ments experienced by western stage coacn era
a mule freight tr.itn.
A mule train Is only equalled In slow mov
ing by ttio bull twin. The former Is made up
from six to eight spans of mules with a "jerk
lino" on the nigh biclo of the lead , nnd the
conductor ottho train curses in pure English
and talks to the beasts in mongrel Spanish.
The "jerk lino" answers the purpose of reins
and it matters not how great the load or how
many mules In that division of the train , tliu
safety of the burden lies with the lead team
and a California break on the leaa wagon. A
single train Is composed of not loss than two
and often three "trail wagons" which are led
in the proper tracks merely by a small con
nection with the load team. The wagons are-
great affairs and carry two tons each , thus
making a freighting outfit , at 1 cent a pound
for 100 miles a paying cargo.
In crossing any considerable stream or
making a long hill the trail wagons tire
dropped and each ono Is taken singly. All
this takes time , and fifteen miles a day Is
fnlr aronigo speed. Sometimes ono has
sejrccly settled a live o'clock breakfast when
the hill four miles distant is reached' for dinner -
nor ; and then nguln watering places must bo
reached and the day's workiinuy bo completed
in that distance only. But this distance is
possibly mode up the next day by a long
drive , no dinner and weary legs. The mules
are let loose , and , after taking of the more
substantial oats or corn , feed of the tender
pralrlo erass often takes them miles from
eump. Then is when the Mexican swears In
pigeon English or the Yankee tries to entice
the mules by mongrel Snan'Uh ,
Thn cooking is all varieties , with a dish of
Mexican chllln collur.i ( r d pepper ) as a
morning tonic. The biscuit tastes of old lard
and cheap baking powder , and Its condition
\\boncoldwouldanswcrvorywell for a de
fense against Indians on the war-path. A
little pnro mother soil and 'a ' nioro tu/te of
wagon grease , 'ofton dished up In Mlppory
tin plates , may seem to go uncle on inv line-
tasting , particular rcauor.i But I will ven
ture the assertion that ho was never hungry ,
I remember ono time being obliged to wn'lt
four days at the hotel of a frontier town In
this state where there was plenty. But the
files and cooking seemed too thick and I
came near starving , In the afternoon
our freight train started on its long , tedious
Journey of 1RO miles. Wo struck a late camp ,
and it was dark before finishing the meal of
ham , biscuit and black coffee. I don't think
I over relished a meal moro than that. The
tin dishes were silver plate beside the hotel
quantity and quality , anil I believe any one
who has passed through a similar experience
will hear mo out in saying that the rough
camp meal is no stomach killer after once get
ting into the ropes.
In the early days of freighting between
Klobrara und Omaha a party of "old timers , "
composed of H , Westormunn , Chris Bcnncr
nnd Tom Ilulllhan , struck camp over on the
cast branch of Brazil creek. Bennor was
chief coolr , and the cimp having been "nade
Itito no particular attention was paid to the
material used in following Instructions for a
"strong cup of coffee.1 Hungry , foot-sore ,
thirsty , the trio sat down to a steaming
rcpust , The coffee was jiourcd and the con
tents drained without tasting. It was re
marked Unit the colTee was "d < 1 strong , "
but no particular attention was paid to the
matter. The evening meal completed ,
; ho pipes wcro bronght out and the tobacco
sought. But In place of tobacco they found
coffee , which refused to burn as the tobacco
nud cooked.
The long freight trains of less than a de
cade ago have gone out of business or "moved
west. " And whr.t few are In existence are
but remnants or what was. Even a dozen
years ago these freighters growled a good
deal because there was no business. Kail-
roads have cut off the profits , and , Uko the
railroads , these freighters looked for the
"long haul. " Indian npcncles knocked the
former profits and business when Indians
were nuido their own freighters ; and rail
roads came later , until now the freight haul
has simmered down to a few miles and a few
cents.
These freighters were happy-go-lucky fol
lows , distinct from the cowboy , yet full
of generous impulses and free with their
money. Some of the managers and owners
turned their attention to other business ns
tliev observed the downward tide , and some
of Nebraska's heavy western capitalists once
owned gieat trains and began life as ' 'mule '
skinners" and "bull whackers. " Opportuni
ties nnd clrcunist inces made men of the sen
sible mid far-seeing , while a great number
drifted away into the easy-going reckless
channels good naturcd fellows , liking the
frontier world nnd Its lonely life , but liking
the moiTv making red eye better.Ki

She staid in the sea until September 11.
In nil that time but live sealers wore

SnhBtltntoH for Wooden Ilnllrnad Tien.
The wooden ties now In use upon the tracks
of the United States number ril5,8U'JI8. !
Thoaveiago life of a wooden tie 111 this coun
try is six and a half years , says the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Every year , therefore ,
calls for S0,00),000 now ties. The Interest in
this subject Is well shown by the fact that
4111 patents have been issued In this country
to Inventors of substitutes for wooden tics.
One Ingenious individual has protected an
Idea for glass ties. An Englishman has
talion out letters In his own country , the
United States , Franco , Belgium and Spain
fora tubular tie made of concrete or homo
oilier composition to bo c.ist around a core of
wlro netting. Ono proposition is to manu

Th proportions arc fiOO parts pulp , 25
parts soda , and ten parts barytos. Two In

suf'crestlon of terracotta orcaithenwaro pjra-
inids to support the rails , The pyramids are
to bo connected by iron metal ties. An caillor
device Is a concrete tlo with wooden blocks
inserted for the rails to bo spiked upon , The
idea of a metal skeleton or framework tie
covered with concrete or artificial stone
comes from Franco to bo patented. Concicto

Charles J. Van Dcpocle , who has been
prominently Identified with the development
of electrical tinctlon forstroetrailway purpo
ses , has devlsep an electrical power hammer
which represents a radically new application
of electro-magnetic prlciplos , says the Phila
delphia record. In general design the ham
mer is quite similar to the steam hammer ,
with its vertical cylinder mounted upon an
arched frame , nnd the rising irtul falling pis
ton by which the hammer head la carried.
The novelty of the apparatus lies In the sub
stitution of electro-magnetic power for utoam
by a slight nnd very simple modification of
the mechanician. Tha piston Is of magnolia
material , and the cylinder is composed of n
scries of cells through each of separately.
The apparatus Is virtually 1111 linnicnso doc-
tro-magni't , tlio cylinder being the coil and
nnd the piston answerolng to the core. The
passage of mi oloctrlo current through the
cells forming the upper part of the cylinder
raises the piston Into the inagncctlc field
thus created. By cutting off the current nnd
simultaneously transferring it to tlio lower
cells of the cylinder the piston is released
and its decent is accelerated by the magnetic
traction created below. As n magnetlu Held
can be created In any of the series of coils
the blow may readily bo shortened or length
ened as desired. The current Is controlled by
lovers and connections Identical \\ltti these
used on an ordinary steam hammer. The
nbscnca of ttio stcnui plpo Is the only feature
'
distinguishing the machine from tho'common
sto n in hammer.
