McHenry, 111., 1896, , If It Were'Not for His Efforts tlie Big Gov­ ernment Printing Office Would Have Been; Compelled to Close--Mason and • President McKiniey Are Still Friends-- Two Incidents iu Which Boh Lincoln Figured--Interest iu Tariff Bill. Washington, June 8.--Every man who g:iVjes employment to men who are will­ ing to toil is ,a benefactor. -Any man who strives - to make capital * available ' lor- the employment of men, is striving on the right side.-' Congressman Jee. ; Cannon of Danville has been doing much cr. the^side of the laboring men during the past week. As soor. &s"tHe extra session of tfte present congress began Congressman Cannon called a meeting of the commit­ tee on appropriations and laid before the gentlemen the appropriation bills which President Ctevela-nd had declined to sign at the close of his administra­ tion. The bills> were considered and were passed by the h6uSe, all four of them, within three weeks. The general deficiency appropriation bill contained an item of $225,000, for the payment of the employes of the govern­ ment printing office, the greatest bee hive of industry in the national capital, and every employe a worthy man or woman, with children to support and educate. Held Back in the Senate. You know that appropriation bills mutt pass the ,senate, as well as the house ox representatives before they be­ come laws; but he senate has not yet pa:-sed the general deficiency bill. In­ stead cf passing the bill with expedi­ tion, as it passed the house, the senate has held it back until Public Printer Palmer was obliged to inform the con­ gress that y^e government printing of­ fice must stop work unless that appro­ priation could become available. There­ upon, instead of passing the bill con taining the necessary amount, the sen ate passed a joint resolution settinj aside the sum of $225,000 for that spe­ cific purpose. When -that joint resolution came be­ fore the house, the narrowTminded con gressmen from many districts proposed to enter into a debate denunciatory of the senate for its dilatory conduct, This parliamentary foolishness went on for two days, and then Joe Cannon broke in On the alleged statesmen, saying: "Patience ceases to be a virtue at such a time as this. I want this house to understand that the question is not con cerning the management of the senate, nor any other branch of this govern ment, except the printing office. Gen­ tlemen may lecture the senate as much as they please. But first let us decide whether 2,000 people shall be thrown out of employment. First let us decide whether the government printing office shall stop. I am not here to defend the senate for its snail-like procedure, am here to ask that this appropriation be made, because it is a public neces slty." The partisans and thick-heads finally saw. the point and the appropriation was made. Mason Smiled Blandly. Seriator Mason smiled blandly today when asked if his relations with the president, have been strained because of his attitude on the Cuban question. He said: "Ask Neuman and Boucksien, who were recently appointed to be con­ suls at Colon and Bremen. It is well known that the president several weeks ago informed senators and representa­ tives thac he would not appoint any consuls until the tariff bill is passed. He has kept his wox-d strictly; but any gentleman may make exceptions. In the appointment of two consuls on my recommendation'the president has made exceptions to his well-known rule. In­ asmuch as I am the only senator who has received such recognition, I guess our relations are not strained beyond the possibility of recovery. No. It is all nonsense to talk about our rela­ tions being strained. It is a reflection upon the intelligence and fairminded- ness of the president to say that he would throw aside the friendship of many years simply because a senator differed with him on a line of public policy." Logan Was Also Wise. "I am reminded of two incidents in which Bob Lincoln figured," said Char­ ley Moore of Murphysboro this evening at the Raleigh. "You know that Presi­ dent At gell of Ann Arbor university was appointed minister to Turkey with­ out the indorsements of the Michigan senators: but that they immediately gave their assent to the appointment. That shows that they were wise. Sen­ ator Logan was also wise when Bob Lincoln was selected to be secretary of war. He had been urging the appoint­ ment of Storrs of Chicago to be attor­ ney general. He had seen President­ elect Garfield several times in the in­ terest of Storrs, and was insisting upon his appointment, but he noticed in the newspapers that ex-Seatator Harlan of Iowa had made three trips to Mentor to see Garfield. Logan surmised at ortce that soma Iowa man was a .candidate for the cabinet, and he made inquiries which resulted in his discovery of the fact that the Iowa statesman was urg­ ing the appointment of Bob Lincoln to be secretary pf war. Lincoln had mar­ ried Harlan's, daughter, Mary, several years/previously. Senator Logan further ascrtained that Garfield was inclined to appoint the son of Abraham Lincoln. He talked It over with Storrs, and then went to Mentor and told Garfield that Storrs really did not want to be attor­ ney general, but that, as a matter of fact, the people of Illinois would be pleased to have Robert T. Lincoln made secretary of war. That settled it, and Lincoln was appointed. Senator Logan received due credit for the appoint­ ment. , .j Had N.o Indorsements. Eight years later President Harrison Concluded to appoint Lincoln to be min­ ister to Great Britain, He had not been an applicant and had no indorsements. Senator Farwell objected. Moreover, he fought and protested and struggled to prevent Lincoln's appointment. That was unwise. Farwell knows it now, Jbut h« did not realize it then. Presidents usually have their own way in such matters. It is better to agree with a president, and-then, at a later date the president will agree with a senator in the matter of some appointment. Logan was wise in falling into line. The Michigan senators were wise wThen they indorsed their distinguished citizen for the place to which President McKiniey desired to appoint him." - Ex-Congressnyin J. Frank Aldrich of Chicago, who was a candidate for the position- of minister; to Belgium; is still here. He is not a candidate for any particular position, but it is understood that, the president has^informed him that he will be asked to enter the diplo­ matic service at some satisfactory point. . . ' '• . , Senator Cullom, says that he has re­ ceived letters from every county in the state concerning particular schedules- hi the pending tariff bill. The people ere taking greater interest in the bill than they ever took in any tariff bill before. It is apparant trpm their let-* ters that they expect this"to be the last piece of tariff tinkering which is likely to. be done for many years, and they are hoping and praying for a bill ap­ proximating perfection. Led a Charmed Lite. "Charles William Quantrell was one of the remarkable products of the civil war," said Farmer Dade of Missouri. "He led a charmed" life, committed many depredations, constantly risked his life, and for many years after the close of the war was supposed to be still liv­ ing. Indeed, as late as 188S or 1890 it was rumored that Quantrell had died of disease near Birmingham, Ala. "As a matter of fact, in February, 1865, Quantrell, at the head of about 175 mounted and well-armed Missouri guer­ rillas, left Fayette county, Mo., for an­ other field of operations. The guerril­ las were all dressed in federal uni­ form and looked as blue as indigo and as loyal as bleeding Kansas. They suc­ cessfully passed numerous Union posts and detachments, and eventually reached western Kentucky, where they renewed their peculiar savage warfare against all who were anti-Confederates. The loyal Kehtuckians defeated them in sev­ eral encounters, and at last, In the e-arly spring of 1865--aboutv the time of Lee's surrender, I think--in a fight in a barn­ yard some miles back of Louisville with a company of Kentucky troops under a Lieutenant Terril, Quantrell was mortal­ ly wounded, four or five of his men killed outright, and his band broken up, never again to reassemble. At the in­ stant that he received his death wound Quantrell was on foot endeavoring to mount behind one of his men,, a boy named Newton Hockensmith, who was killed in his efforts to save his leader. The stricken guerrilla chieftain was well cared for and tadcen to the Sisters' hos­ pital at Louisville, where he died two days later. His body was buried in the Catholic cemetery and his grave may. yet be seen. Was an Ohio Man. "The noted bandit, Frank James, and Clay Evans of Saline county, Mo., were with Quantrell In his last fight. They often told of the time, place, and man ner of Quantrell's death; and the guer rilla's mother, Mrs. Caroline Quantrell of Canal Dover, O., was assured of the death of her son at Louisville. The of fenses of the civil war were amnestied by its termination and buried in the bloody chasm, and if Quantrell had lived all these years without revealing his ex istence and identity it would have been very foolish in him, and Charlie Quan trell was not a fool. "It Is not generally known that Quan­ trell was an Ohio man.. He was born at Canal Dover in that state and was edu­ cated in his native village and at Fort Wayne, Ind. He went to Kansas In 1859 as a Free State man, and for some time was engaged in school teaching in the then territory. But finally he went astray, and, to escape punishment for a certain offense, fled to Missouri, where professing a change of political senti­ ment, he was well received. When the war came on he eritered the rebel"serv­ ice, but in a few months deserted the Confederate army, and, organizing a company in western Missouri, inaugur ated the fearful system of guerrilla war­ fare which produced so many horrors In Missouri and Kansas. At the time of his death he was about 30 years of age. Ouantrell's Principal Lieutenant. "Cole tand Jim Younger were both members of Quantrell's band, though Jim was very young at the time. On the occasion of the massacre at and th« sacking and burning of Lawrence, Kan., Cole Younger was Quantrell's principal lieutenant, and it was he who, in the uniform of a federal officer, rode into the town on the morning of the attack, inspected the situation, and reported it to Quantrell." On an electric car today I heard a peculiar remark by a retired clergyman a man who has large monied interests entrusted to his care. He was convers­ ing with an active minister of his own denomination and said that he knew of twenty preachers of his own faith who are in this city without a ministerial charge. Some dally with life insurance work; others dabble in literature, while a few live on their wits. The speaker attributed this spiritual surplus to the mistaken .zeal of societies for the in­ crease of the ministry, which offer to im­ poverished young men a support through college and the theological seminary, and thus bribe them to take up a calling for which they have no taste, and are neither morally nor intellectually fitted. It is a free lunch route to the altar," he said, "and nothing better could be ex­ pected of it than that it should produce a race of clerical bummers. The pam­ pered pauper finds too late that he has made a mistake in climbing up into the pulpit, whereas if he was really fitted for the work, he would have managed to get in to it without anybody's help." Surprising, Though True. el listenectj.0 this talk, saw the base, cifcumfererjgjg, and altitude of the argu­ ment, and was~>mpressed. Coming from a clergyman it was surprising, although entirely true. I could hot help wonder­ ing what people would say, however, if the same remark had originated with Colonel Bob Ingersoll, instead of com-' ing from a regularly ordained preacher. Tfyere is a Buckeye statesman who has spent considerable time in Washing­ ton, Major Ben Butterworth, a man with brains who is always poor. In all of the years of his political life, while other men in similar0 positions were making fortunes, he never made a cent. It Is said that Ben Butterworth does not know the value of money. That he does not know how to save. He is a great­ hearted. brilliant fellow, with thousands of friends, and he spends his mofey among them like a prince. DUNBAR. RIDGEFI£LD. H. H.
