reconstruction of the tabulation ef long
Vjtenure In the national house of reprn
atlves.
' Cor many year the name of Representa
tive Hohnan of Indiana held the plac of
honor at the head of that llet. He waa the
only representative, tn mere than a oentury
of congress with thirty year of bouse
service to hit credit.
Eventually Mr. Ketcham supplanted his
thlrty.year reoord with one of thirty-three
years. Both died m office. With ocoa
atonal lapses their constituencies stood by
them to the last. So these two long tens
re are finished, fixed quantities.
But Breaker Cannon, still living and still
N a , representative, haa already paased the
Hotman record by two year aad la re

that many years will probably elapse ere

General Henry H. Bingham of Pennsyl

aU the others waa broken. In some cas-s ,
with several hlatuse between terms.
The three high record tenures, those of
Ketcham. Cannon and Hoi man, are not
continuous. There were two breaks In Mr.
Ketcham'a house career, three In that of
Mr. Hoi man, vne In Mr. Cannon's.

For continuous house service the record
holder la the late William D. Kelley of
Pennsylvania, twenty-nine year without a
break. General Bingham twenty-eight
years' tenure haa beet) unbroken, and if he

Will beat the Kelley record by a year.
Six of these long tenure member were
speaker of the house, Macon, Taylor.
Banks, Randall, Thomas B. Reed and Can
non. Three only, Messrs, Macon, Ran
dolph and Johnson, also saw service In the
senate, Johnson was also vloe president.
Twenty-three of the thirty-four are dead.
Nina of the living are still members of the
house and seven of them are re-elected to
til Sixtieth eongresa Messrs. Orosvsnor
and Wadsworth retire next week.
None of the great magnetic leaders who
filled the publlo eye In the last century
appear In the list of long tenures. Tet
Jackson, Calhoun, Webster. Douglas, Jeff
Darts, Blaine, Oarfleld and McKlnley all
began their political career In the national
house of representative.
Heavy Clay m- Iteoerd Maker.
Henry Clay' congressional career waa
perhaps the most singular of all, though
not an extended one. He waa first elected
to the United States senate to fill a va
cancy before he bad reached the constitu
tional age of 30 prescribed for a senator.
He waa but 2t, the youngest man ever
elected to the senate.
four years latsr be was elected to the
house and waa Immediately chosen as It
speaker, the. only case on record of a rep
resentative being made speaker in his first
term. But Clay was a reoord breaker In
nearly all the walks of political life.
Hla house tenure was no more than ten
years, and with two hiatuses, but as reg
al r. Cannon, but meanwhile the latter evens
tip with four years excess of tenure al- ularl n, av,par(H, ln the houe he was
ready earned, an unchangeable lead a long -h,n . ,nker. with the result
a both remain In congress. That bath will
remain In the house until death overtakes
them I a moral certainty, barring the pos
sibility of Mr. Cannon' election to the
presidency In H08.
Who the Old-Timers Are.
With their ages al the eapiratloa of eerv
tee, or to data It still member, and In th
pew order of tenure, 'the1 following Is an
exhibit of th thirty-tour representative
at once chosen It speaker, with the result
that he waa speaker during the entire
period of hi membership, a record with
out a parallel.
He was chosen senator fourseveral times,
and was defeated for the presidency twice.
HI power In his own party was marvelous.
It rank and file had no political opinions
until they were voiced by Henry Clay,
Few people remember that Jackson was
a Judge, a congressman, a senator, a sue.

Whisky Moeepoly The
New Llasor System.
COLUMBIA, 8. CT, March l.-The South
Carolina Btate dispensary, the govern
mental monopoly of th whisky t raffle. In
troduced fourteen years ago by Governor
B. R. Tillman, ha been abolished. The
system la to be succeeded by local option
a between county dispensaries and pro
hibition. This week, which I th transi
tion period, prohibition prevails throughout
the state. By proclamation of Governor
Ansel the mnln state dispensary, with a
stock of I7SO.O0O, eighty odd aubdispenaarles
and sixty odd beer dispensaries were closed.
Th proclamation cam unexpectedly, and
as there were "private stocks" In but few
homes, th dryness of the state Is of a
kind not familiar In ordinary prohibition
communities. Not ft drug store In South
Carolina ha a pint of whisky, and the
usual "blind tiger' were unprepared.
How th Hew Law Works.
Under the local option law, ' known as
the Carey-Cothran law. those counties in
which the state dispensaries had sub-
dlspensarles will continue the sale of liquor
until the next general election. But the
management of the dispensaries ' will lie
exclusively In a county board of three, one
member being chosen by' the mayor or
mayor of ths town or towns tn the county
III which a dispensary Is located, one se
lected by the school board and one by the
legislative delegation. This' board Is to
take over whatever liquor It wishes from
th state dispensary and continue the busi
ness. The county dispensaries have no cap.
Ital and the business, at least at the out.
set, must be conducted wholly on credit.
The profits are- divided between the muni
cipality, the county and the school fund.
When the county boards begin buying
new stock they are required to advertise
for bids for the grades and kinds of liquor
required. These bids are to be sent, sealed,
to the treasurer of the county, and are at
a specified time opened ln public by the
board and the contracts awarded. Every
quarter the board must publish In county
newspapers their purchases, with names
of dealers, quantity and price. No liquor
can be bought from any dealer who main
tains an agency In this stats or who solicits
custom in any otner manner than pre
scribed by law.
Member of the county hoards, ns well
as th dispenser whom they appoint, are
heavily bonded, and It Is made a serious
offense for any official to receive a present
of sny character from a liquor agent or
dealer or to "push" any particular brand
of "goods" In the dispensaries. It Is hoped
by these precautions to eliminate most of
the opportuntles for graft, the graft that
brought th state dispensary system Into
such evil notoriety.
Stork Rxreeda Legal limits.
A week before the abolition of the dial
penary th governor, acting on th recom
mendation of the legislature, which In turn
acted on a report of a special committee,
removed from office the board of dispen
sary directors. It was found by the legis
lative, committee that, while the stock In
th state dispensary was limited to $400,000.
the dlreotors had on hand 1760,000 worth of
liquor, besides having large stocks In the
ubdlspcnsarlea. It waa also ascertained
that In the preceding six weeks The pur-
onases amounted to fSQO.OflO. Much of this
wa bought In violation of law, which pro
vided that sealed bids be submitted and the
orders given without th director knowing
me names of bidders. The legislative com
mlttee developed that one director visited
distiller In Illinois and made one purchase
without bids being submitted of 113.000.
An expert estimated that the state was
overcharged from 126.000 to $28,000 on this
one deal. In view of thl revelation all the
directors were removed and nroaecutlnn
will probably, follow, a It was recom
mended by the legislature. Perhaps $250,000
is due by the state for liquor recently pur
chased. This will not be paid until Investi
gation proves that dealers were not In a
conspiracy with the directors to overcharge
for whisky, and so be able to pay tremen
dous rebate as bonus for th order re
ceived.

The downfall of the dispensary is not due
to rooent developments. The legislature
that overthrew It wa elected fter a
straight fight on the issue before the Irreg
ularity and Illegal conduct of the last
board was known. It is th culmination
of a twlve year' fight, a fight that waa at
one .time supported by not more than 15
per cent of the people, and which was
finally sustained by 70 per cent. For a
doien years there has been more or less
general belief In and Indefinite charges of
corruption In th dispensary. As a result
of a year of legislative Investigation th
board of directors that preceded that which
has Just been removed wa defeated for
re-election by the general asssmbly and
the governor ordered the attorney general
to prosecute, but the evidence of corrup
tion was not of such character that a case
could be legally founded.
Tet It IS conceded that through a system
of permitting dealers to overcharge for
liquor, tbr difference being pocketed by
dispensary officials In the form of "re
bates," ths state may have lost $300,000 a
ysar for tm years. It was shown that
$38,000 waa paid for on order for label
for Whteky bottles when several substantial
Mtabllahments offered to duplicate th
order for less than $10,000.

that conditions had steadily grown worse.
Last year was campaign year In South
Carolina and it was early made clear that
the dispensary would b the one issue. Th
State, a newspaper at Columbia, wa the
generally recognised leader of the opposi

address, to the people of South Carolina In
which he declared that he would tak th
stump for the dispensary and warned them
that if hi right was not sustained they
would b dominated "by a ring with head
quarter In the Bute newspaper office ln
Columbia." Th enator made one of the
most aetrv and vlgorou county to county

OLASQOW, March i. 8pedal) The opin
ion of Colonel A. B. .Grant, commanding
the First Lanarkshire Royal garrison ar
tillery (volunteers), has just been obtained
ith regard to cavalry maneuver In
Scotland. Colonel Grant said that there
could be no doubt that Mr. Haldan had
scored over the people, who grew Impa
tient when. It wa announced that the
Scots Gray war to be removed, although
ht the same tun b believed that the
Indignation aisetlng held In Edinburgh had
done om good ty raising Interest tn th
question, aa waa shown by th offers which
had slno been made of ground for train
ing purposea "I am fighting for a land
range," remarked Colonel Urant, "but It is
difficult to get the people to back one up.
Thar Is plenty of sentiment talked, but
when people ar asked to do something
practical to assist efforts mad for th
good of th country they will not do any
thing. A we ar to be field artillery and
hjv got the new guns that Mr. Haldane
spoke snout in uiasgow, ,i must nav i
land range." He believed that Mr. Hal
dans's scheme would really be on proper
lines. Th bringing of field artillery to
Edinburgh and Onugow meant that th lu-
fanlry and artillery could be trained to
grther. Thee wr th two moat Important
ax-iu hi BDoderA warfv and th must apt
ln harmony. Tb Manchurlan war baa
borne eloquent testimony to this fact. In
deciding to hold cavalry maneuvers ln
Bcotland Mr. Haldane haa taken a step
which would give a great Impetus to the
mllltsry spirit north of the Tweed, and the
patriotic action of the duke of Atholl in
granting facilities for the maneuver wa
worthy of the highest praise. Colonel
Grant laid emphasis on the need for tak
ing tb volunteers seriously. When a
young man Joined th rank ln the past he
wa usually fired by strong enthusiasm,
but usually la the course of a year or two.
tnrouirh having to work with guns fit only
for a scrap heap, his enthusiasm began to
wane and ultimately It evaporated. No one
need wonder why. The young men of the
eoufttry have never got a chance to train
theiuaelves properly. Colonel Grant ex
pressed the hop that tb nation would
support Mr. Haldans In his territorial army
scheme and said he looked forward with
the greatest Interest to the Scottish man!,
