What Has the Future
For Arthur P. Gorman?
In tho last thirty years there him been
no man on tho democratic sldo of tho United
States twnuto who aurputocd Arthur l'uc
Gorman of Maryland In qualities of parlla
lnuHitary leadership. Utirlng tho later years
of his service nobody was so rash as to ven
ture to challenge hid control of thu party
on tho Hour, and now that ho Is no longer
ii member of tho uuuato hu Is mlsMed dally.
Thoro havu been few men In tho hlutory of
congress, If any, to whom legislation has
become so much a habit of life as tiurmau.
From tho day when ho secured an appoint
ment im page, when a boy, until tho 1th of
.March, Ib'J'J, when a change In thu party
control of Maryluud brought his survlcu as
uunator to a close, ho dwelt almost con
tinuously In tho atmosphere if thu capltol.
l'robloms of government and parliamentary
procoduro have been familiar to him from
tho beginning, and ho Is us thoroughly
steeped In tho atmosphere of national poli
tUti as tho man of business lu tho ,TI Unis
phere of tho counting room. Ho Is familiar
with tho multitude of details which play hj
Important though Inconspicuous a part lu
legislative machinery, and when lu tho sun
ntu ho could touch unerringly tho hidden
springs upon which congressional action de
pended. (Ionium's strength has lain not entirely
In this. There have been other men who
by long sorvlco In 0110 or tho other branches
of congrms hnvo become Intimately nc
(Utilnted with tho nicotics of legislative
procedure, and havu become adepts In thu
work of framing and passing hills without
attaining thu heights of leadership. (Ionium
has political prescience as well, ami It Is
this which Iuih given him his nuiHtury. He
Is ono of those who can understand mo
tives and sense popular feeling. Ho under
stands thu science of organization and real
izes how Indispensable It Ih to party suc
cess. Ho had tho rare faculty of Inspiring
confidence among theso whom hu would
lead, so that whoro hu marks tho way few
hesitate lo follow.
aoriuan believes thoroughly In "tho ma
chine." Ho Is ono of thu political leaders
who hnvo boon distinguished with tho title
of "boss," mid In thu minds or many it Is
undoubtedly truo that this phase cf his char
acter has been moro conspicuous than nny
other so conspicuous, indeed, as to throw
nil others In tho shadu, Hut there is a
broader sldo of his character with which
thoso who hnvo served with him lu congress,
whether of his own polltlcnl faith or not,
hnvo heen fnmlllar. Ho Is n innstor of po
litical methods, but ho is a student of gov
ernmental policies as woll. Thoro wore few
questions which cumo before congress dur
ing his term in tho senate to the study of
which he did not devote himself and con
cerning which ho did not havu well dellued
Ideas. Ono who Is so far removed from tho
former Maryland senator In political belief
and method ns Senator Hcnr has said that
If a dumocrat wero to bo oluctcd president,
(ionium Is tho man upon whom his personal
eholco would fall this on tho theory that
Gorninn In tho Whlto House- would ho con
servative and safe.
"There has heen no man lu tho sonntu lu
tny day," says Mr. Hoar, "who was more
thoroughly conversant with tho problems of
government and to whom tho reins of admin
istration could bo entrusted with greater
confidence."
Gorman Is not an orator, Hy long prac
tice and by necessity ho has become n fairly
effective speaker on occasions when It be
canio essential that he should speak, as well
as act, but hu Is altogether lacking In tho
(luulltles which make n man conspicuous on
tho platform. Ho Is n good debater, because
he always understands his subject thor
oiiKhly and can appreclnto tho points which
will tell on tho Instant for tho proposition
lu behalf of which ho contends. Ho has few
popular (iialltles. Thoro is nothlm: mag
netic or dramatic nhout him. nut ihls docs
not niciii that :io lneks the faculty 0 mnk
tug friends. Tho associations ho formed In
tho senate woru very close, not only with
men of his own polltlcnl following, hut also
with tho&o of nn opposing faith. There was
no democrat lo senator whoso word could se
cure moro on the republican side, or who,
for personal reasons, could secure more con
cessions in matters In which ho wan lndl
vldunlly Interested.
Gorman works quietly. More often than
not his hand remnlns unseen .until tho re
sults ho wishes to nccoinpllsh become ob
vious, nnd then It Is rovealed for tho first
tlmo thnt ho has been fashioning and mould
ing tho ovont. Thoro aro thoso who call
him Jesuitical, nnd thoro Is something In
his method which mnkes tho ndjivtlvo not
although Inapt. Hut it cannot truthfully
bo applied to him In nn offensive sense
Nobody over yet charged him with fnlsehood,
nnd If thoso who irppoeo him nro deceived for
n tlmo as to his intentions it is not his
fault. If they lack keenness of preceptlon
it Is not his business to sharpen their wits,
nnd they cortnlnly ennnot expect him to tnke
thorn Into his confidence. It is simply not
his hnhlt to enrry his henrt on his sloovo.
Gorinnn looks llko n priest or a dlplomnt,
with hla smoothly shaven faco, his finely
chiseled features, his thin lips closely
pressed together and n gray eye that Is
keen nnd searching In Its gnzo. One of his
greatest charms Is a sirllo that Is winning
nnd confidential, even when somo political
schemo Is lurking beneath It. Nobody can
retain personal enmity for Gorman after
coining lu closo contact with him. Gorman
Is almost ns much n resident of Washington
ns ho Is of Maryland, and his Washington
houso Is open nlmnst tho year round, oven
now, when ho Is no longer a member of tho
Benate.
Ho has lost none of his polltlcnl activity,
although for tho first tlmo slnco tho war he
110 longer holds any olllco. Hu still keeps
his linger on tho party machinery and looks
ahead to the day when ho and those who
think with him will be In complete control.
Ho Is young yet, as politicians go, having
only sixty years to his credit, and mnny
things may happen beforo his final retire
ment from tho political field.

ally wears four or five decorations on statu
occasions, such as the president's New Year
levee, and among them Is always the In
signia of tho Order of St. John of Jerusalem,
which ho prizes moro than any other ho
possesses.
'!' AtlnelicN from France
Tho French embassy Is tho only ono In
Washington which can boast both a mili
tary and a naval attache. Both attaches are
young mon. Captain Vignal, tho army rep
resentative, Is an engineer, and in tho
twelve years ho has been In tho servlco ho
has served In Franco, at tho military school
nt Fontalnblcnu, with tho engineers of Ar
ras, tho oldest reglmont of engineers In tho
French army; with a sapper's company, a
minor's company and with a pontoon com
pany, detailed on tho eastern frontier In the
construction of tho fortlficailnns Franco h is
been busy with these thirty years. Ho w.is
niado captain for distinguished nervlco In th)
signal corps and the minister of war has
lately decided that ho Is to be promoted to
tho rank of major by special selection. Ho
will ho ono of tho youngest field olllcers In
tho engineers. Ho has already received tho
red ribbon of tho Legion of Honor.
Captain Vignal feels an especial Interest
In America, becauso ho has an American
brothor-ln-Inw. His sister Is tho wlfo of
Solon Horglum, a young sculptor now In
Paris, who was born In Omaha nnd who ob
tained a rownrd nt tho Salon of Inst year for
scenes of Hfo In tho west, which nil Paris
found very Interesting. Captain Vlgnal's
wlfo. who Is with him In Washington, Is tho
niece of a member of tho Academy of Sci
ences, M. Charles Friedol. Tho Vlgnala havo
a homo In a fashionable quarter of tho cap
ital and It Is ono of tho show places of tho
town. Collecting antiques Is n hobby with
Mine Vignal, as well as with hor husband,
and their houso Is a vcrltnblo museum of old
tapestries, wonderful old furntturo nnd bits
of frngilo china, worth considerably moro
than their Weight In gold.
IticIiCHt limine FurniNliliiKN,
Everything in tho houso was brought from
Paris and tho captain's freight bill wnJ"
something llko $3,000. Amateur pho
tography, which It is ono of tho duties of
French engineers to practlco, Is a hobby with
Captain Vignal. Ho Is also nn enthusiastic
nutomohlllst and Is much Interested lu tho
experiments now making In tho French
nrmy with nutomoblles, which ho thinks will
horeafter take the place of wagons In supply
to trains, Ho has mado visits to many fa
mous American battlefields nnd hopes in tho
nenr futuro to seo them all, as ho desires to
study on tho ground tho campaigns of tho
American generals,
