An Unusually Large Number Was Elected Last Year. [Special Wuhm’noh Letter.) For very many yéurs. if ever before, there have not been in the national house of representatives so man: 503mg men as there are in the Fifi) fifth congress. which is now assembled for in first regular‘ session.

This {act is almost wholly attributed to the political unrest and uncertainty which overspread and overwhelmed the country in the early days of 1896, when political parties were splitting to shreds and the air was as full of theo~ fies anfilvagaries as the Atlantic coast atmosphere is full of mosquitoes in July and August. The older politlcians (Democratrc Leader In the House 0!;Rep- resentatives.) in; in yours are not always philoso’ phers and do not delve-into the, mysâ€" teries of causes and effects. Conse- quently they have not noticed that the telegraph, the telephOue. the fihonoâ€" graph. the typesetting machines and all other inventitms of the past generation have facilitated educatibu. The ambl- tiou: young man of today calysecure an education at the age of 21 which would have been difficult, for Webster, 'Calhouu or Lincoln to have secured ten years later in life. Therefore theyoung men of to-tlay can rush into the home stretch of the race of life before they are suspected of having attained iu~ tellectual acquirements of an extraor~ dinury nature. But, in spite of this fact, it is grow- ing more am? more apparent that the young men of this republic are forging to the from. Men advanced or advanc- were hesimut ubOut bunting uorxfimr tions because lhe) feared the possibil- ities and probabilities of defeat. The real cunning potiziu an a ‘xxzws warns "me other feliow" numiuated in off years. , Hon. W. W. Kitchen. of the Fifth North Carollna district, is the youngest member of the house. being only 30 years of age. He has been for some years past an active campaigner for the democrats in his state. and they last year gave him the nomination to con- gress. He represented North Carolina at Washington on Independence day, and his speech made on that occasion was one that electrified his audience. and Mr. Sibley said of him that he was the “coming orator.” His father rep- resented North Carolina in congress, and he himself stands an excellent chance to be some years a member from that state. He‘has attractive man- ners. is modest, but impresses people at once with being a man of ability and courage. He is attentive to his duties and has a useful and brilliant career before him. The youngest man in Xhe Illinois del- egation is Thomas M. Jen, of Billsâ€" boro, who is only 34. His mll figure, coalâ€"black hair and strong. smooth- shaven face give him a distinct individ- uality. Mr. Jon is preeminenlly a self- made man. Until 20 years ago he worked on a farm, attending school in the winter, and finally saved upenougfl" money to amend the Indiana normal school for mu years. After this he taught school. studying law when his day's duties were over. and was admit- ted to practice in 1377. Two years later he was elected Slate's azzorney. and be- fore his ezght years of sen-ice in that mm; were completed the people he was elected Slate's azzorney. and be- fore his ezght years of sen-ice in that mm; were completed the people thought so highly of him as to select him as their i'epreseniative in congress. It is the grneral belief of his colleagues that Mr. Jett will justify the wisdom of his elerlors. The youngest man in the house to have atmined hizh‘judiciul honors be- fore coming to congress isJudgeJumes M. Briggs, who represents the Second Georgia district. When barely 30 years of age he was appointed, by the govâ€" ernor of his state. judge of one of the circuits‘ and he was twide elected to that oflice by he legisiat’ure. On the hench, Judge Brigg‘yf record was exâ€" ceptiomalh satisfactory. apd there was considerable surprise when he resigned to run for congress. He had: been one of the original si‘ver democrats of Georgia. and in the democratic na~ tional convention of 139:! he voted for a straight, unequisocal declaration on the money question.a and his candidacy for congress was in response to the wishes of the silrer democrats of his district. Judge Briggs nus. sincq he came to congress, proved m be one of the malt JOSEPH w. BAILEY. popuhr of the“ new men on his side of the house. As a wit and story teller he easily takes me from rank and his good humoretf 6mtcnance is an iu~ dc: of his grain] um kindly nature. He is new 36 ycars of age.

King as men representative in congress. He in 34» years old, in a Utah bo_\. but. on his fathers side came from the old King and Hancock families of New England. He is a lawyer and a graduate of the University a! Michigan. He has had considerable experience in pub lic life. having fiiled numerous posi- tions in his native state. He served in lbree sessions of the legislature. and was president of the state senate. and has also been associate justice of the supreme court. of the territory of Utah. rludge King has always been a dem- ocrat and iS‘regax‘ded as pronounced and uncompromisiugin his views. The Chicago platform received his hearty support and leaving his own campaign he stumped in the east for Bryan. He was elected to congress by a majority of nearly 20. 000 over his opponents, one of whom was a republican advocate of silver and the other a populist. He came to Washington a stronger. but his ability and congeniality h'ine 3l~ “uys won for him the esteem of man) and the friendship of his associates. In his convictions he is unyielding and maintains his views with courage and fearlessness During the fight made by him against the proposition to lease mineral lands in Utah owned by the government he demonstrated his ability “as a tighter and msde'several speeches on the subject which haVe beenhlglily commended for the convincing argu- ments they contained. He took" the initiative step in congress towards the annexation of Hawaii. and the fact. that the provisions of the joint resolu- tion introduced by him are precisely along the lines of those contained in the treaty sent to the senate later by the president is evidence that his ideas astorforeign policies are broad and far seeing. He is a student and a hard wbrker. Among the new and young men of the house none has made a more agree- able imptession than Charles K.

AL though he has dedicated his time tothu mastery of law. he has yet. found time to acquaint himself with the politics of the day, and has: always gone to the aid of his party. ‘ ix popular member of the Virginia delegation is the industrious and ap- proachable member from the Norfolk district.
