BIG MAN WITH A HEAD LIKE BISMARCK Enrly Struggle * of the rrealillnc Ofllccr ul the ( senate Hlii Flrit Luw I"oc IMc.i for the Minority Corruption In foiltlea. WASHINGTON , Nov. 2. { Correspondence of TUB BEE. ] 1 spcat an evening this week with the vice president of the United States. My last iutcrvlcw with him was nclil five years HRO. I was about to start on a trip around the world , and lie gave mo letters to his friend , Governor UubbarJ , our minister to Japan. At that time Mr. Stevenson was assistant postmaster pcncral. Now ho is vice president of the United States. He stands within ono of being the chief execu tive of the nation , and the chances of life and death are such that ho may bo the most important man In the United States within the next four years. I bellevo President Cleveland to bo well , but the thrill that vent over the union a few months ago when tt was reported that ho was afflicted with a cancer Impressed upon the people the fact thai presidents arc not immortal , and the question as to thu character of General Stevenson wat uppermost In every thinking man's mind. U'ti-.it kind of a man is the vice president of the United Stalest How does he look , act and talk ? What are his ideti upon public questions ? Thcsa are tome of the Interesting queries which I hear from time to lime in my travels about the country , I cannot answer them bettor than by giving a running description of my chat * with htm hut night. The Vice I > ru lilent ut Hume. The vlco president lives at the Ebbltt house. Ho has pleasant rooms in ono of the corners of this bg hotel , and ho Is to bo found here almost every evening witn his family about him. Ho Is domestic in his tastes , and ho spends his evenings at home. There is no roil tape about getting to hlia. You send up your card , and a moment later you are told to walk right up. You knock at the ooor , It opens , and a giant of a man greets you with a hearty ihako of the hand. Vice President Steven- ion u one of the big men among our states men. Ho Ujslx feet two in his stockings anil be weighs uioro than 200 pounds. He stands is straight as a Norwegian plno In his pol ished boots , and his big blondn head is fastened to his broad shoulders by a strong Bnn neck. His arms and legs are lone. Hi * chest is broad and full , and his shoulders are .veil thrown back. His complexion is clear , and ho looks like a man whoso bled is pure and who knows cot that ho has a stomach. The vice president has a magnifi cent head. It made mo think of that of Uls- marck. It has the same broad , full fore- bead and the same heavy iron jaw. The mustache \\hlch Hews out from under nls big uosa U about as heavy as that of the great Gorman statesman , but It is of a gulden color , while that of Dlsaj-irck by the furnace of many summers had melted from Its Iron gray into frosted silver. Bismarck ku blue eye * . Yic Protldent StOTea ou'i eyes are also blue , but they are smaller than tliose of his German counterpart. They are honest eyes , however , and they look straight at jou as you talk to their owner , changing In expression as the vice president's tnought is serious or the reverse. Now the brow over them is corrugated and the eyes are full of thought. General Stevenson is thinking of the tariff and ho is giving you his ideas as to the discussion of silver. Now the corners of them are wrinkled with fun and the eyes fill with laughter the vice president is illustrating his point by some good story. Ho has as many stories as had Abra ham Lincoln , and ho Is full of dry wit. Ho likes to illustrate his points by stories , and he is our of the best after-dinner speakers of the west. Ho is a good speaker on the stump , and lie is ono of the few candidates for the vice presidency who have over gone before the Jwople. Ho made 100 speeches last fall and ho addressed big audiences in twelve doubtful states. The vice president \ % a man of action. His whole life has oeen filled with romance , and It is itself a good Let mspive you something of it which I gathered by numerous questions irom the vlco president himself. 1 asked as to his ancestry. General Steven son replied : "Tho Stovensons come of Scotch-Irish stock. My people came to this country long before the revolution and set tled In Maryland and Pennsylvania. They drifted from hero south to the Carolinas and thence on into Kentucky. 1 was. you know , born in Kentucky , and I moved with my father from Kentucky to Illinois. My father was a fanner or planter. Ho had the natural blood of the pioneer In him , and ho came from North Carolina Into Kantucky , and as the state filled up ho sold out and wont on to Illinois. This was in 1852 , " four llilililrrll Mllm In a Wrtgon. "Do you remember the journey ? " f asked. "Yes" , I remember , all the Incidents of it , " replied the vice president. "I waa only 10 years old at the time. Wo had all our goods packed hi canvas covered wagons and I iirovo ono of the teams. The Journey from I afayeUo. Ky. , to Bloomlngton , HLt WHS onlv 400 miles , and you can go from ono place to the other now in less than a day. H took us throe weeks to make it by wason , and when wo got to Bloonungton wo found there a town of only a few hundred people. The Illinois Central railroad was then being built , but It had not yet reached Blooming- ton. My father started u lumber mill , and I helped him by hauling the logs. " "Where were you educated , general ! " "My college Ua.vs were spout both in Illi nois and Kentucky , " replied the vice-presi dent " 1 worked my way through college , and I tlrst went to the Wesloyau university at my home , Bloomlugton. 1 then went to Center college at D.lnvilh3 , Ky. This is the same school at which the Breuklnrldges were educated , and Senator Joe Blackburn was there at the same time. The school has had a number of distinguished men. Senator Vest was among1 its students. Jus- tlco Hurlun got his education there , and among other students , who afterward bo- carne prominent , were Governor McCreary , now hi the house of representatives , and Governor Brown , who is now the chief execu tive of Kentucky. " How One liny flat an Kducatlou. "You say you worked your way through college , general. How did you make the mouoyt" 1 asKeil. In different ways. " replied tne vlco pres ident. "I taught during vacation , and at one lime I rctne ubcr I received fi5 a month and boanled around , and at other times 1 left school for the wlutcr and took a turn at teaching. It didn't cost us much to go to college ut that tune as now 1 remember 1 paid fi&O u week tor my room and board , and other things were proportionately cheap. Alter leaving school 1-Aent back to Bloxn- ingtou and studied luw , and when I started to practice 1 hud Ju&t 25 worth of books and very little else. Aly ilrst law _ case \vus be fore a Justice of the pcaca , und my foa was fl. Thl seems very little now , but it paid my board bill for two vr eeki , ami it was two months before I got another case. I man aged , however , to make more than my ex penses during my first year at the law , ana had I continued to practice from that time to this f would have been much better off in > ocket than I am. " The Lliicoln-Dnuglu > Campaign. "When did you first become Interested in politics ? " "I can't remember when I was not inter ested in politics , " replied the vice president. ' I remember the political campaigns of Ken tucky , and I mav at that time have had an ambition to be a Kentucky legislator. I don't know. My first work in politics was in : ho campaign of 1853. when Douglas and Lincoln were running against each other for the United States senate. I was a friend o { Douslas during that campaign , and I spoke in his favor. 1 remember the discussion and arguments of that time as though they had leeii uttered ia the senate yesterday. The jreat question was the power of congress over slavery in the territories and the wis dom of the repeal of the Missouri com promise. I was an earnest advocate of the election of Stephen A. Douglas , and I ttien fully believed his position to be a correct one. Subsequent events have clearly demon strated that the repeal of the Missouri com promise was far from being u wise measure. The Lincoln-Douglas campaign , however , was ono of the createst of our history. The speeches which Lincoln made during it had no doubt much to do with his being elevated to the presidency. " "What did you think of Abraham Liu- colnt" "I admired him then , and I now consider him one of the greatest men und greatest presidents wo have ever had. I feel proud that I knew him , and the fact that ho be longed to a different party from me does not warp ray judgment of .his character. I ven erate his memory as 1 do that of Washing- toe. Washington belonged to a different party from mine. He was , as you know , a federalist , and the democratic party was not really born uutil the days of Jefferson's presidency. " Whit u Vice Preililrnt Can Do. Tno conversation then turned to the United States senate , and I asked thu vice president whether there was not borne way in which nc could control its debates and prevent such a situation as has been in existence a greater part of iho full. Ho re plied : "I receive numbers of letters asking me that question. Some men want to know why 1 do not stop the silver discussion. Editors send mo markuJ copples of newspapers directing mo how to act. They do not understand ray position. My power is clearly outlined in the constitution und in the rules of the senate. Thu code which prevails there is in.ido up of laws ana prece dents which cxtead over eighty-seven years o ( legislative proceuuro. These are no more to bo changed by me than are iho laws to bo changed by a Judpo of a court. Suppose a Judge should say -I don't bellevo that law Is right , and 1 won't allow that statute to enter Into this case ? ' It would bo the same if I should attempt to act in the senate irrespec tive of law. To do otherwise would be revo lutionary. 1 took an oath to administer the laws of the senate and I have to act accord ing to them and to nothing else. A Word ( ur the Minority. "Again , " the vlco president went on. "it Is a question as to whether the poiple are not unreasonable in tticlr dcmuii'ls upon the senate. These men represent great status , and they have to do what they honestly be llevo to bo right for both their own people and the union. 1 believe they are honest. The senate is a conservative boly and it is fulr that the minority should have a show. It is , as Senator Turple calls it , the 'asylum of the minority , ' and ono of the safeguards of legislation lies in that fact. It Is a largo body. There are eighty-eight senators , and each has the right to speak , and when great questions hue those we are now discussing come before it it needs the combined wisdom of the whole to decide them , " What Ho Tlituki of the neunte. "Is not the senate rather a social club than a hard working legislative body , Mr. President } " 1 asked. "No. " replied General Stevenson. "It has Its social elements , it is true , and most of the members comooslng it are men of great social qualities. But the senate is a body of business working men It is made up of broad gauged men , nearly everyone of whom has made himself a great name in his own state , and all of whom are men of strength ana character. There are senators on both sides of the chamber who would have made great reputations in almost any field , and as to the general average , J don't believe there is a stronger body of public men in the world today than the senate of the United States. " This Hmiato ( Jomp.ireil wltli Former Ones. "How does the senate of today compare with those of past history ? " ' 1 think it is equal to any we have ever had , " replied the vice president. "Wo may have no slants like Calhoun , Webster or Clay , but the average Is higher , the men are broader , better educated , and the range of subjects which they have to discuss is wider and deeper than those , which taxed the sen ators of the past. The questions which are now to be decided by the United States senate demand a well equipped mind. They are not abstract questions beginning and ending In the theories of government. They are business questions , und upon the deci sion of them depends the welfare of an em pire. When the first senate met wo had y.OOO.OOO people in the union , and the country over which they legislated was a narrow strip running up and down the Atlantic coast. Isow wo have nearly twenty-five times as many i > eoplo , and wo are bound by the Pacific. Wo have a country of vast re sources , divided into .sections , each of which has its own interests' , and the government must be for the goooTof the whole. Wo have nn enormous revenue ftp raise. When Bu chanan was president ono of the chief ar guments against ) js administration was the immense expenditure which it made. It took $ . .0,000.000 to pay Its bills. Now we spend over $400,000,000 every year to run the government. " 1 Will the Villon I.a.t ? "Does not this growth tend to dissolution , Mr. Vice President ? " J askod. "Will not our country and people eventually become so rich and so great thatit ; will bo divided Into sections ? Will the union continue ? " "I think the union wtti lust , said the vice president , "though In' tke centuries to come , who can tell ! Our chief safety lies in the patriotism of our people. We are at the bottom a nation of patriots , and I want to see this part of our nature developed to the full. Yes , I ain In favor of Fourth of July celebrations , I want all the national holi days wo can havo. In the future we will have our troubles , but this love of country , added to a good government and a good con stitution , will be our salvation. " "How about the anarchists ? " ' There is nd danger from them. They forma drop In the bucket of our national life. We do not lear thorn. Public opinion is greater than parties , and the moment the anarchists threaten our institutions u nubile sentiment will arise which will result in the destruction of whatever Imperils our free in stitutions. " ' I'olltlca Sat Corrupt. ' 'Is there not danger from the corruption which exists la ur politics ? " "I don't tilnk much corruption exists in politics today , " replied Vice President Stevenson. "I suppose there is some , but if so it is found chiefly in the large cities. Politics are purer now than they have ever been , and they are growing better in every way from j ear to year. Our cities are prow- ing belter. Vice Is being controlled and this Is an u e of churches and cb if Ijs. Millions are now spent in education where thousands were not known ai few years ago. Fortunes are given daily to institutions for the betterment of the people , and wo are nuk g giant strides in the right direction. It is thu same in ( olllics. The people have nn idea that there U corruption and bribery herein congress. 1 was four years in the lower house , and I have had largo acquaint ance with members of congress. 1 have never heard of a member who had been ap- iroached in that way. and I do not know of me to whom you would dure offer a bribe. L-ook back over our history. What laws lave ever passed by corruption ? "There is the Credit Mobilier , " said I. "Yes , " replica the vice president , "and that is the exception that proves the rule. And look at its results. It was the political grave of every man who had anything to do with it. A case happened many years ago in which a congressman was expelled for sell ing a AVest Point cadetship. At present there Is little if any corruption about the capitol. Think of the hundreds of millions which have to bo disposed ot by congress. Think of the billions which are affected by legislation , and it is ono of the wonders o'f History that congress is so pure. I Uo not believe that there is another body of legis lators 100 years old which can show such a clean legislative record as can the United States senate and our house of representa tives. No. politics are not growing worse. They are growing better. ' Von up Men and Politics. "Would you advise a young man to adopt politics as a profession I" "No , I would not , " replied the vice nrcsl- dent. "Wo have no profession of politics , as has England. I believe , however , that every young man should take an interest in poli ties. Every American should Know what his country is , how it is governed and take part in its government. If no docs not he shirks his duty , and sponges , as it were , off his follow men. As to political leaders , I sometimes think they are born , not made. Some men naturally take to the manage ment of their follows , and such make good politicians. The game of politics is an inter esting and a fascinating ono , und the men who play it best become known as states men. I see that ex-Speaker Heed of Maine defines the word statesman asa successful politician who Is de. d. ' He is to a certain extent right. " Sllrrr and the InrllT. I here asked Vice President Stevenson to give mo his ideas as to the tariff and the silver questions ? Ho laughingly referred me to his letter of acceptance , in which he said his views had 'been expressed in fall aud approved by moro than live million voters at the lime of the late election. His position on both questions is , well known , Ho believes In tariff reform , and ho thinks that there should bo a dollar's worth of gold and silver hi every coin that is marked with the name of a dollar. He unques tionably would like to see both gold aud silver used as money , and ho believes that every dollar In the United States , whether gold , silver or paper , should be an honest , dollar , and that all of our dollars should beef of equal and exchangeable value aud of equal purchasing power.

The Sons of the American Revolution , other societies of both so.xos connected with colonial times and their invited cruests will assemble in the Lyceum par lors today , bays the Baltimore Sun , to celebrate what lias latterly been called " Stewart's " because it "Peggy Day , com memorates the pre-revolutlonary period when the popular ferment .broke out into action against the taxation of the colonies by Great Britain. That action culminated in the harbor of Annapolis in the burning of the brig Peggy Stewart by its owner , Alexander Stewart , to pacify the excitement ho had raised. The incident was the mqro glaring because - cause Stewart had signed the pledge not lo Import from England any _ taxable commodity , in accordance with the resolution of the convention passed ut Annapolis on the 23d of July , 1774 , which was to cease- all importing or ex porting to England so long as the stamp tax und the tax on tea remained unro- pcalcd. In violation of his pledge and of the resolutions passed at Frederick declaring that the people of Maryland would drink no tea until the tax was rescinded , and al'jo of the subsequent action of the Annapolis convention. Stewart imported on the brig Peggy Slowart seventeen chests of tea , con- blgncrt to Williams Bros. , merchants at Annapolis , und paid himself the duty on the ua. To use a Scoth phrase , Slow- art's bold contempt of the popular will and of his previous assent to it "sot lire to the heather , " Meetings wore called by tap of drum to denounce his conduct , and people carao flocking into the city from the outlying districts and from Baltimore to testify their indignation. Speeches were made and as the crowd increased by daily accessions to it , threats were uttered that placed Stewart's life in jeopardy. In this emer gency ho consulted with * some of the most prominent leaders of the move ment , and finally , seeing no other method of allaying the Btorm ho had raised , he offered to burn the brig and Its contents. It was the only act by which ho could escape the opprobrium in which ho was hold. Hit ) proposition was accepted , the brig was taken to Windmill point , and , in the presence of u commltteo , Stewart set 11 ro to it with his own hands. The dilToronce between the destruc tion of the chests of tea broucht Into Boston and thoao brought to A mm polls was that the act of the Boston puoplo was done ut night by a body of citizens disguUcd as Indians. The tea was thrown overboard , hut the brig was unharmed and remained in possession of its owners. The toa-burning at An napoUii was done in open day , and the brig itself way bttcrlflcetl , together with the tea it contained. It was Maryland's ' first declaration of independence , al though the formal and general declara tion was not made until it was pro claimed at Philadelphia on the 4th of July , 1770.
