THAT no NQ,T,.F.L:IT HIM},
Congressman English Has Faith in Amer-
lcau Manufacture and the New South.
The Persistency of the Seekers After
Places. ,
There is no use in denying the fact that
Tom Reed of Maine, while a pretty big.
man physically, is growing in greatness
every day. I recently had an opportunity
to see him at very close. range. There is
a magnetism about him that is rare for
a politicau. He speaks frankly in private
as well as in public. He tells a good
story, and, better than all this he is a
splendid listener. Somehow, you feel
when he comes into a gathering of men
as though an intellectual giant had step.
pad in out of somewhere and made his
presence felt. His face is as babyish as
the caricaturist have pictured it. *His
head is shaped like a dome. His eyes”
sparkle with good nature, and his checks
are alive with health. I saw him walk-
ing through the corridor of the hotel the
other day with a small derby hat perched
on the back of his head, an overcoat that
seemed much too small for him, and
trousers at least a. couple of inches too
short. He moved along as gracefully as
an elephant on parade, paying no heed to
those ill-bred people who stood in rows
and gaped at him. There is no style in
his manner or inhis dress, but when it
comes to brain‘s, her-can probably dis-L
count any of the people he came in con-
tract with, ,and that is saying a. good
deal. ‘
One of the most disagreeable things
that a Congressman'has to contend with
here is the constant and tireless impor:
tunities of office seekers. Many 8. Con-
gressman comes to Washington full of
ideas as to hOW he will make history on
the floor of the House, but soon finds his
time so occupied in running from one,
department to another‘ hunting places
for persistent constituents that he has no
time to make a reputation as a. statesman
in the halls Of Congress. A Democratic
Congressman ‘who was defeated for re-
election last month remarked to_ me the
other day that he was glad he had net
been returned as now he would be rid of
the annoyance of hunting patronage.
Members of Congress who are so fortun‘
ate as to come from distant states are not
troubled as much as those from states
near the capital. People in the neighbor-
ing districts of Maryland and Virginia do
not confine their efforts to writing letters
but often come to W'ashington to press '
their claim in person. They besiege the
Congressman at his house, and if he es-
capes them there he is pursued to the
capitol. Congressman Meredith of Vir-
ginia, whose district is only separated
from Washington by thb Potomac river,
is a much sought for man in these days. A
number of his constituents, when they,
desire to see him, do not go through the
formality of paying railroad fare, but
simply walk across the long bridge and
up to the Capitol. The other day Mr. ,
Meredith, after a. most harrassing inter-
.u—
had walked over from Virginia to see
him, was’relating his woes to a brother
Congressman and sighing for the restful
obscurity of an ordinary citizen, when it
was suggested that he‘ follow the plan of
General Sherman and‘burn the bridges.
“Burn the bridges,” echoed Mr. Mere-
dith; “that would do no godd. They
would swim the Potomac at high tide.
Business throughout the country may
not be improving quite so rapidly as
many desire, but one thing is certain, the
march of progress made by American
manufacturers is going steadily onward.
Each year and each month? records the
opening up of new markets for American
goods, and our manufacturers are under-
bidding their rivals in the old world.
Congressman English of California gave
me a good illustration Of this. "I have
a friend,” he said, “a young Californian,
w ho is the superintendent of the largest
diamond digging concern in South Af-
rica. The company that he :represents
recently made up its mind to put in ex-
tensive new machinery, and advertised
for bids for it in England, France. Ger-
many and the United States. A Chicago
firm underbid all the rest and'was award-
ed the contract. Another case that was
brought to my attention the other day is
worthy of mention. The Japanese Gov—
srnment recently awarded an enormous
contract for iron pipe to another Chicago
firm. It view of these things it is little
wonder that I_ believe American manu-
facturers will in a short time be able t:
compete with. the world.” Mr. English,
who is an expert and successful business.
man, is a. great believer in the new South.
He has recently purchased a large tract
of land fin Alabama, the cultivation of
which he intends personally to superin-
tend. English was one Of the Democratic
Congressmen who failed of re- election,
but he is a ‘born fighter, and is sure to be
heard from two years hence.
One of the most delicate and intricate
questions ever submitted for a legal opiu-
ion to the Department of Justice has been
asked of Attorney-General Olney by the
Treasury Department. It is whether
stamp collectors have the right to print
and sell fac-similes of the United States
and foreign postage stamps. The busi-
ness has attained considerable prbpor-
tions, and with the increase of trade the
stamps turned out have gradually
reached a perfection in artistic finish and
coloring that makes them hardly dis-
tinguishable frOmthe genuine. The best
engravers and printers are employed in
this work, and while Chief Hunt: of the
secret service does not charge that any
such stamps, either foreign or domestic,
are used illegally, he contends that the
possibilities for fraud on the revenue are
startling. In unscrupulous hands such
stamps and dies could be utilized for
wholesale frauds. As to foreign stamps,
the United States, by it treaties with the
various powers, is committed to prevent
the counterfeiting of obligations of for.
eign nations of any kind, and stamps by
law are held to be obligations, so that‘tho
question assumes international import-
ance. Philatelists contend that by print:
ing facsimiles of stamps they are serv'. 7"
ing as educators of youth and prevent inn‘
position. Until the question ‘is decided
by the Attorney-General, the Treasury
Department will confine 'its efforts‘to so-
curing possession of dangerous stamp
dies, but will ,notundertake to confiscate
the large Stock‘ of stamp,,.,albums in the
’ . "ROGER Laws.
