THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: POLITICS WITH XMAS PUDDING | The Senatorial Elections in Kansas, New Hampshire and Washington. SAYS SOMETHING WHEN HE TALKS, This is One of the Chief Troubles with My, Ingalls—It Costs to Joke [ Copyright, 1690, by Frank G. Carpenter.) WasmixatoN, Dec. 17.—(Special to Tir Bee.]—Three members of the United States senate will have no rest during the Ch mas holidays, These three are Senators Tn- galls of Kansas, Blair of New Hampshire, and Pearce of North Dakota, All are candi- dates for re-clection and the legislatures of those stuies pass upon their return in Janu- ary. Senator Ingalls says he is confident of his re-election, but he will give no interview for publication concerning it. The trouble is Ingalls cammot talk without saying some- thing, and his words are always distorted by his encmies. He gave an interview last spring to the New York World in which he said, “The purification of politics is an irrid- escent dream.” He meant merely to state a fact, bat his enemies claimed that he believed In impure politics and that he was brazen enough to acknowledge it. Some of the min- Isters preached from their pulpits about this Interview, and the senator received some- thing like seven hundred letters concerning it. There is a gencral desire here that Ingalls may return, The senate has little enough brains as it is, and when it gets a genius like Ingalls it cannot afford to lose him. Senator Sanders calls him the lurid meteor of the senatorial sky, but he is more than a meteor. Ho has been for the past eighteen years the fixed star of the republican side of the cham- ber, and he has suia nore good things and more sharp things during that time than any sther two men in that body. He has been one of the students of the senate,and he is as well equipped for his duties as any other man In the body. His head works like a steam en- gine run by perpetual motion, and it is the BEST IDEA FACTORY IN WASHINGTON. Ingalls does agood deal of work which never appears over his own signature, Ho gives many a newspaper man ideas for letters and editorials, and the gems which drop from his vitriolic tongue are only a few of the thousands of his expressions which find their way into type. Senator Blair tells me that the newspapers cannot afford tolose him either. Said he yesterday : “What will the New York Times do when Lam gone? It has devoted half of its editor- lal spaco for years to denouncing me and to making fun of me, What will the Sun do} What will all the New York papers do, and what will the other papers of the country do if I disappeart I think, however, I am going tobe re-elected. My opponents say that I have had tw) terms already and am a third term candidate. I bave not had two full terms, and it seems to me that ifa man bas had two terms it fits him all the better for a third term.” “By the way, senator,” I asked, *how sbout your bill which was introduced when you first came to congress to make the head waters of the Mississippi flow into Baffin's bay and the Gulf of St. Lawrence? I mean the bill which your enemies said was entitled Am>iary to compel water to flow up, hiny “I bave never told the story of that bill,” replied Senator Blair, ‘‘f have been laughed at unmercifully in regard to it and have been slandered concerning it from Dan to Bershe- ba. It happened at the close of my first ses- shou 1n congress. Just at the last moment for the introduction of bills I received a let- ter from a manufacturer of New Hampshire asking me to present to the senate the petition ecnclosed. There was only a moment to get the thing in. I looked at it and it scemed to be in proper form, and without thinking I sent it up to the clerk’s desk. Well, I heard from it from all over the Unitod States. The man ‘who had sent the petition had acted in good faith, and rather than denounce him 1 let the matter stand and made no explanation. I knew that I was not a fool, even if some of the papers did call me one, and the poor fel- low who sent the petition felt sohurt at the trouble he had gotten me into that he wrote o me aguin and again ahout it, and offered to do anything he could to remedy the evil. His petition asked for a survey of the land be- tween the head waters of the Mississippi and those of the Canadian rivers with the view of the construction of a canal bringing the two together. He had also a scheme to make Hudson's vay a great inland thermial ses, fnto which tile gulf stream should tlow, and thereby, a3 hescluimed, should equalizé the climatc of the continent, “As (o my election, however,” concluded the senator, ““I am wasting no sleep, my digestion is perfect, I am in prime physi condition and I don't think I will lose flesh, w{:clm-r the ballot goes oue way or the other,” I dropped into the national library today and had a chat with Mr. Spofford as to THE GREAT A2 RUAN 3000 S, We are going through a period of worder- ful literary activity, and more literary inven- tionaare copyrighted overy year than me- chanical inventions are patented. During 1880 more than thirty-eight thousand copy- rights have been issued, and this is about two thousand move thun were taken out during the same period of last year. In ad- dition to this there are a number of applica- tions for copyrights which ave rejected, and copyrights are taken out on photographs, engravings, drawings and paintings, as well as upon books. The rejected articles' during the past year have been chiefly for railroad tickets, coupons, and mechani¢al drawings, not connected with the publication of 4 book. A great number of copyrights are taken out for newspaper articles, and the nowspapers copyright their cablegrams from Europe. Speaking of cable copyrights, I heard a urious story last night us o' how Governor Silom of Colorado had to pay ubout for one of the first cables that went over the ocean. Gilpin was o good- natured sort of a fellow, and the probability is thatbe came into the telegraph office of Denyer and wrote out the cable never think- ing it would be sent. It was sent, however, and ho had to pay the bill. The story told me by Mr. Rosewnter, the editorof Tie Owmany Bk, who in 1866 was tho manager of the Western Union lines at Omaha. Said be: “The first Atlantio cable was completed in 1858, and it was alleged that a dispatch was roceived by Prosident Buchanan from Queen Victoria over it. This dispateh, lowever, was about all that ever came over it. There was skepticism throughout the United States as to whether the dispatch ever got through, and it was eight years after this before any cable business was done. Tho successful cable was the new line_completed on August 8, 1864, At this time no one seemed to think the cable would work, The Western Union had sent a corps of operators and exvlorers to Aluskn 0 build a line across Behring straits to Rus- sia, and when it was announced that the new cable was done and_that any one wishing to send dispatches to Europe ror $10 A womp could do so, the wnole world laughed and the telegraph operators looked upon it as a gi- gantic 501& It was at this time that 1 re- ceived i dispateh from Denver, Colo., signed by the governor of the territory to be for- warded on to New York and addressed to Paris. The dispatch had to be sent from New York to Newfoundland by steamer and was there cabled, The dispateh read “DENvER, Colo., August 4, 1890.—To Louls Napolcon Bonaparte, kmperor, ‘Tuillories, Paris, France: Please leave Bohemia alone, No interference will be tolerated by this tor- rlun?'. [Sfgned.) Joux GiLers, Governor,! “When I received the message,” continued Mr. Josewater, “1 looked upon it as an ox- pensive Joke of Mr, Gilpin's aud I forwarded II on to N York. The message came to me about 2 o’clock, aud about 4 I received a mes- sage from New York stating that the \n‘ir‘l\ of the cavle was $147 in gold, I sent this mes- suge on to Denver, but tha operator there ro- fused to belleve that the m:ssage had been sent, and upon my telling him that he hod better stop it, he said I coulin't scare him, and let it go. The resultwas that it was sent to Newfoundland and telegraphed, and though I have never heard that Napoleon [11, answered it I have nodoubt but that he re- ceived it. About six months later tho treas. urer of the company, Mr. O, H. Palmer, wroto me_ tel mo he thought I ought todivide the expense of the message with B F, Woodward, the manager of the Denver Mee, and that inasmuch as both of us had our little joke, we should each pay our little bills. [ stated the case as I have given it to you, and the Denver office had to pay the whole. Whether Governon Ipin paid itor not I do not know. I asked him about it one time and he secmed boved and WAS VERY RETICENT, My idea is that he came into the ofice and upon being told that the cable was compieted and dashed off this message and nded it over, never supposing that it _world be sent. The prulmlll}i(,\' is that when he found it ‘was sent he paid the bill.”” Editor Rosewater was one of the most reo- markuble telegraph operators in the country. He was in the south atthe time the war broke out and was afterward emvloyed here at the war department under General Tom Eckert, While in the south he reported one of Jefferson Davis' speeches which he de- livered at Stephenson, Ala,, whilo ho was on his way to be inavgurated president of the southern confederncy, In s speeeh Dayis set the country on fire by saying that he in tended to carry the war into the north. Davis accused Mr. Rosewater of being a northern spy in referring to it. He also re- ported a speech of Howell Cobb's which was made the night after President Lincoln was innugurated, in which Cobb said: “If our wives and daughters cannot whip the Yankees with broomsticks I want this gen- eration discontinued.” At the time that the war was over Mr, Rosewater made an offer tothe Brazilian government to ercct telo- graph lines and 8 system of cables for their empire, Baron Lisboa,who was then the minister of Brazil at Washington, sub- mitted his proposition, but the reply was that there were only five miles of railway in Bra- #il, and these ran from the city of Rio Jauneiro to Dom Pedro’s palace and the country HAD NO USE FOR TELEGRAPIS, Two years after that time Brazil had a war with Paraguay and it had to import cable and telegravhic material from Europe at an im- mense expense, and to construct lines under the greatest of disadvantages. There are now about two thousand miles of telegraph lines in Brazil and there are nearly two hundred telegraph offices. Tt cost the country more than a million dollars to build these liues, and the government might have saved a for- tune if it had taken Rosewater’s offer, which was to build the lines and oversee the whole for a salary of §2500 a yearin gold. I met John T, Caine,” the Mormon delegate to congress, and Mr. §. F. Richards, who is the principel mwf'cr of the Mormon 'church, last night. Mr. Richards has just made an argument before the supreme court, in which he told the judges that polygamy was so dead that it could never be resuscitated, and both Caine and Richards said the same thing to me. “The people are thoroughly in earnest ubout the matter,” sad Mr. uf.-hum, “and there has not oeen a polygumous marriage in Utah for more than two years. It is contrary to the rule of the church’ from now on and the people are well satisfied with the change. For myself, I think it has improved the condi- tion of the territ and 1 think it will be to our interest in business and other ways. Tt will mako the te more desirable to im- migrants, and it ainly ought to removeall objections that the people of the United States have to the Mormon church.” “Will Utah apply again for statehood " I asked, “‘No, it will not,” emphatically answered tbe Hon. John T, Caine. “When the demo- cratic party was 1n power we held a conven- tion, announced our inteation of abiding by the laws of the land, passed a constitution which provided that polygamy should be done away with, and hedgzed ourselves around with such provisions that it was impossible for us to continue in polygamy or to act oth- erwise than in perfect accord with the prin- ciples and government of the United States. Iwentto President Cleveland about it. He assented to everything, and said that we had done overything that could be done, but con- gress would not admit us. The late Sam Cox saia that in the udoption. of Such a measure the Mormon church would be THE FLY IN THE OINTMENT ofthe democr atic party. Ispoke to the other democrats regarding this lateron, and sug- gested to them that they have now neither the fly nor the ointment. Utah will never ack for statehood again without the United States gives a decided intimation that they desire to receive it into the union. As to population, we have more than three times as le as the census gives to the new s ming. We have more citizens in Salt Lake City than there are people in Nevada, and wocan show the best record as to financial integrity and average good mor- ality that you will find in the country. We have never had a thing from the government, und our territorial debt is only $00,000. We have had neither government buildings nor eovernment appropriations, and we are the only part of the United States which bears 1ts fair share of the taxes and gets ouly kicks and cuffs for its pains,” Representati Wilson of the state of Washington tells me that Senator Squire has remained at home to attend to his senatorial fences, and that the race 13 between him and ex-Congressman Calkins who cutsuch a prom- inent figure some years ago as one of tho the members from Indiana, Calkins lives at Tacoma and Squire is one of the big men of Seattle, Both are strong men and both are much alike in physical respects. Both are tall, big-boned and strong limbed and the complexion of cach is as rosy as that of a six- teen-year-old Irish maiden. Both wen are pugnacious, and it only needs a nent to make Calkins a great politician, was his natural pugnacity that brought him into public life. Sixteen years ago he was was making about $20,000 4 year as an Indi- ana lawyer, Two corporations gave him a salury of #,000 to act as their counsel, and Ius practice outside of this amounted to aboat $3,000, He was satisfied with the law and he did not want to go into politics, But one day ne picked up & county paper in which he was boomed for the nomination on the ground that he was theonly man who could carry the dis- trict. The compliment tickled uim and he wrote to the editor and thanked him but said he could not think of being a candidate. He had sealed the letter and was patting himself on the back for being a great mun as he glanced over another paper. The editor of this stated, that Calkins was a very good man, and with u little pationce and consider- able study, he might sometime be fit for a congressional candidate. At present, how- ever, he was ENTIRELY TOO PRESI 3 in his efforts to get the nomination, and that he could not be clected if he was nominated.” ““T'his notice," said Governor Calkins, in tell: ing the above story, *‘made me 03 ang a8 the other notico had pleased, and T decided to show that editor that T could get the nomination if I wanted it. 1 wrote a different letter to my editorial friend, and went into the campaign. I was nominated and defeated, but T got another nomination later on,and this time 1 was elected.” It seems now that Governor Caliins has grown tired of private life, and that he wunts to be in politics, I found Senator Teller at home last night. He is not a whit grayer than when he was in the iuterior department under President Arthur. He has been re-elected to the sel ate, and has come back with the determina- tion to puss & froa coinage silver bill. Said he, “I have no doubt but that such & bill will pass this session or next, and it would put silver up to 125, It would give us plenty of money for the business of the country, and it would make times easier and the country more prosperous. I told the president last June that the silver bill was the most impor- tant matter before congress, and that the passage of some such bill was our only hope of salvation. [ told him then, though he didn't beliove it, that the people were dissat- isfied, and if there could g: an election held then, there would e & hundred democratic majority in the houss, and if something was not done, the majority would be at least one- third larger. Seuitors Fryo and Dawes were preseut at the time. They were skepti- cal, and President Harrison's face bore an incredulous smile. The result shows that I was right, though T am ucither a prophet nor the son of & prophet,” Fruk G, - 1 articles used to gracea table nong rts more brilllancy than Dorflinger? , American Cut Giass, Itis the ricnest et Elass in the world.

To those who buy regardless of quality, design, finish and beauty, and mere?; because it is cheap, Iwould say, My goods will not suit you.” TO THOSE who wish the finest quality of goods for the lowest prices at which such goody can be made and sold, I would say, “I offer you goods which cannot be found elsewhers at LESS RATES. FINE GOODS are not always the most expensive. I claim that I offer albetter article at the same price (and in some instances for less) thanis generally charged for goods of inferior desigt, quality, finish and intrinsic value.
