THE YANKEES OF THE SENATE. Btories of the New Englanders in the Upper House of Congress. FRESH GOSSIP ABOUT NOTED MEN. Why Senator Frye Don't Save Money—A Look at Mitlionalre Hale—Pen-Pic- tures of Morrill, Chandler Others, [Copyrighted 1892 by Frank G. Carpenter.] Wasiixaroy, D. C., Jan, 10.—[Special Cor- respondence of Tur Bre |—The congress- men from New England are aniong the strongest men 11 Washington. They number, all told, in the lower house only twenty-six, or eight less than the representatives of the one state of Now York and two less than Pennsylvania. All New Englana has only five more representatives than Ohio, and you can add the twelve New England senators to the twenty-six Now England reprosenta- tives, and the New Eugland men bere then will only exceed by two the representation trom New York in both houses. Still it has been for years one of tho strongest sections in congress. Jamos G. Blaine of Maine was long the loader of the republican party and he teld tho speakership of the house in the stormiest times of our history. Now I'nomas B. Reed is the leader of the opposition in the lower house. The Men from Malue, Tako a 100k at ths men from Maine. Sena- tor Frye is a typical Yanlkee, but with 1t all there is no broader gauge man in tho union. Ho is thoroughly equipped on all public questions and he tests everything with vhe loadstone of common sense. tle was twelve years in the house of representatives before he came to tho senate, aud had mado a repu- tation there as a bold and fearless leader. When Blaine was mado Garfiela’s sccretary of state he was elected to take his place in the senate, and his first speech was iu de- fenso of New England and against the soath. Benator Call of Florida had deseribed the workingmen and women of New Eunglaud stas hungry, starving serfs,” and Frye ro- pliea that tho working people of one of the atates of New KEogland alone had enough hmoney deposited in their saviugs banks to buy all the real and personal property of five such states as Florida and have §30,000,000 loft. “The serfs of Massachusetts,” said he, “have $200,000,000 depasited in their savings banks, and the whole valuation of the state eof Ilorida 1s only $30,000,000. He then went on to attack Louisiana and North Carolina and succeeded in angering the whole democratic side of the chamber, It 1s a peculiarity of bis that he handles all things without gloves. He Is packed full of practical common seuse and he has a manly hatred of all shams, avd it does not make much difference whether the sham is a democratio one or a republi oune. There is nothing snobbish about Fry and he would just as loave be called “'Bill" by bis constituents as Senator Fry He tells a story of himself, when he was attor ney geveval, which illustrates the saying that the senator is not without honor nuvu*n lis own country. e was attorney general of Maine at this time and was going from the oapitol to Lis home, Said he: “AsI walked @owan the steps of the state house I mets man who accosted mo with, ‘Good morning, genorul.” ‘Good moraing, sir,’ said . When 1 got on tha train another acquaintance spoke to we and said: ‘Good morning, major.’ ‘Gnod morning, si,’ Tanswered. At the next station [ mot another friend who addressed mo as ‘Good morning, colouel,’ and I replied, ‘Good morning, sir.” The next man greeted mo with, ‘Good morning, Mr. Frye’ and I raplied, ‘Good morning, sir.” I had receivod 50 many titles, however, in the course of an hour that I hardly knew which was the right wne until as I was going up the street to my home a man met me who yelled out the same grooting that he had given ms in my college daysand shoutod, ‘How are yer, Bill, and I suppose that was the bo st one.” Why He Don't Suve Money. There 15, however, nothing undiznified about Sanator Frye. He has the plain every- day manner of the Yankee business man and ife 1s a vary earaest matter with him. He dresses in plain, businsss clothes, and has never pecoms acclimated to the lounging, loafing airs of som> of his fellow senators. He 1s not a man of much means and he lives vory simply at Washiu.lon. He said a few years ago that ho was not worth $25,000 and his salavy probably constitutes his chief means of support. He does not believe in saving money and he says he got a lesson to this effect from his grandfatner when he was aboy. Said he: i “I'was brouzht up in a Quaker family and when durig ny boyhood I got & chance to take a teip to Boston my grandfather gave meo & to spend. [ did not know any boys in Boston and I could think of no way to have $5 worth of fun without boys, so I kept the llwllflf' in my pocket. When I got howe my grandfather asked me how L had spent the £ and I, with the air of one who had done a yirtuous act, said: ‘I did not spend it at all grandfather. I saved it aud I bava itin my pocket.' Hereupon my grandfather replied’: “Phee may give mo back the money, William, I gave thee that money to spend at Boston.! This,” concluded Senator Krye, “taught me a lesson and ever since that I have known better than to save money." Senator Frye is, however, by no means an extravagantman, He has a large family and about eight grandehildren. He 1s 62 years of age, but does not look 50—and he thinks the secret of his wounderful heaith is the fishing to which he devotes three wonths overy year, sponding this time on the Maine lakes in tho northern part of his state, Senator Eugeno Hale, gono Hale is an entirely differ- ent man from Senator frye. Ho 18 in the first place one of the richest men in Wash- ington, having becomo so through his mar- riage with the daugbter of Zach Chandlor. Senator Chandler lefu a fortune of §3,000,000 und half of this went 1o his wife and the rest to his only daughter when he died. Senator Chandler was v generous during his life- time and ho gave Senator Hale's children cach $50,000 at the time they were born &na invested the money, it is said, in government bonds as a nest egyg for the children to begin life with, Senator Hale has the tinest house in Washington and ho lives in as good style as any of his brother millionaires in the United Statos senate. He was, however, not born with a golden spoon in his mouth and his father was a farmer in one of the country districts of Maine. Young Hale was ad- mitted to the bar when he was 21, and he actéd for nine years as prosecuting attorney of Havcock county und followed this with thirteen years in M @ legislature. Now it happened that a man uamed I'ike bad been representing the congressional district in which Senator Hale lived, in the house, Thers was counsiderable opposition to bim from some of the counties orlho distrie seelug he could not get the momimmtion, he concluded, 50 the story goes, to make & con- gressman and he picked upon Hale, was nominated and elec! Senator zenith ot his power and Blaine took a great lking o hlm and did mu to Senator Hale's indignation, once referred to him as Speaker Blaine's “‘Little Bub,” Hale, however, showed himself a man of abil- ity and with powerful friends and a shrewd dipiomatic manner he got on. Grant was so pleased with him that he wanted to make him his post- master general and Hayes offered him o cab- et appointment. He declined both and just eleven years ago reached the goal of his am- bition, o seat in the United States senate. Ho is now 56 years old, and 1s in the very prime of life. Of meafum height, his form is stialgnt and well rounded and the only sign of his advancing years 1s the iron gray which is creeping into his banged black hair and mottling the sombre hue of his full black bearu. Some of his fellow senators accuse bim of having a very good opinion of him- seif, and this recalls an incident which took lace during a campaign in which he and “rye stumped the state together. They were riding in a couch and Mrs. Frye was one of the party. Senator Hale had the front seat and had to rido backwards, while Senator ana Mrs. Frye sat facing the horses, opposite him. Senator Hale was in & joking mood and told Mrs. und Mrs, E'rye that if any fat woman came along and got into the stage, she would have to sit with them. Just at this moment a fav woman did come and upon Hale telling her that she had not better ride backwards and that he thought Mr. and Mrs. Frye could make room for ber, the woman, who was of tho Irish persuasion, said: ‘Indade sir, I don’t moind riding backward at all,’ and thereupon plumped herself down beside Sen- ator Hale, Seuator Hale langhed and as they went on tried to banter the woman, and said: ‘Now, my good lady, if another woman would get in, she would huave to sit over there with them woudn’t shet’ *Yes sir, said the fat woman, ‘I supposo she would. ’'Yesee I am very large mesilf and me hoop is very lavge and I see you feel very targe, and 50 I don't think thers would be room on this seat. What Senator Hale replied, I have névor heard, Senators Hoar and Dawes, The two senators from Massachusetts are men of weight. Both have for yeurs been prominent before the country and since the passing of Edmunds Hoar is to u large extent the watch dog of the republican part is a man of unquestioned 1ntegriy, broaa reading and much more than ordinary ability, He cowes from one of the oldest families of Massachusetts, His grandfuther was a cap- tain 1n the revolution and his father gradu- ated from Harvard in 1802 and was possessed of some of the same qualiuies which have so prominently cropped out in his son. He was opposed to slavery and was sent by the legis- lature of Mussachusetts to Charleston, S. C., sowme time before the war to test the constitu- tionality of the right of that state to imprison freo colored people who had committed no offense against the laws. He went, but the legislature of South Carolina expelled him from the state and he cume back again, This man married a daughter of Roger Shorman and George I, Hoar wgas one of the resuits of the mateh. His orother bad been the at- torney general under Grant and it was about this time that Hoar .came to congress, He served twelve years in the lower house before .ho got to the senate and among other promivent things with which he had been counected, was the management of the Belknuap impeachment trial, and he was also a member of the electoral commission of 1876, Senator Hoar is said to be one of the best posted men on American history in con- gress, He is the president of the American Antiquarian socioty, ana has recelvod - the degree of dootor of law from the colleges of Amwberst, Yale, Harvard and Willlam and Mary. Ha devotes the most of bis time to study, and bis Greeley-like face 1s never happier than when he is getting off ,some bistorical fact. in his makeup, and he is by no means averse to a joke on bis brother senators. He lves very simply here at Washiogton, aud not long ago he said that his total iuooine outsiae of his salary was less than 81,800 a year, aud 10 help um on.J that bis whole estate. with the exception of He lived for a time at Blaine's house and Blaine, as speaker, pushed nim forward to such an extent that' the late Sam Cox, much There is considerable humor” $5,000. of money, and ¢ the finest private libraries in tue United States. Senator Dawes is now 76 years old. He was born during the administration of James Madison, and is & graduate of Yala college. He began life as a school teacher, and served as a country editor and a lawyer before he got to congress at the age of 41 Since then he has been almost continuously in public in one house or thé other, and he ‘was eighteen years in the house of repre- sontatives before 'he ‘was, elected to the senate to take the seat of Charles Sumner. Durlng the past year he bas made Indian affairs his hobby, and he knows more about the Indians than any man inthe body. Ho is an enthusiast on the siubject of Indian education, and when this subject comes up in the senate he tears thé air and shouts and roars at the galleries like the bull of Bashan. He is a tall,-bent man with gray whiskers and white hair. He has the student’s stoop, but is young for his vears, | Morrill and Proctor, The two senators from Vermont aro Justin S. Morrill and Redfield Proctor. The state has lost a great deal in the Fetirement of Ed- munds, and if Vermont is to have mugh in- fluence on the legislation of the senate hare- after 1t will have to come from Proctor. Sen- ator Morrill has finished the:best paru of his life's work. He is the oldest United States senator.

Senator William E, Chandler, Of all the New England senators tu re aro nono who are 8o well kmown as beuator William K. Chandler of Naw Hampshire, and General Joo Hawley of Conunecticut. They are both Yankee prodacts, and each has his peculiarities, Hawley ls”‘porn % the abler speakor,” but Chendlor is the gr.ater politician, and he is Hawley's equal as a man of affairs.

He was made counse' of the government in trying the naval frauds in Philadelphiain 186+ by President Lincoln, and Jonnson made him his assistant secretary of the treasury. President Arthur appointed him secretary of the navy, and a short time after he left that dopartment he came to the senate. Senator Chandler has always been an outspoken republican, and though he helped to make President Hayes,be violentv opposed his southern policy, He is noted for saying bitter things,and 1t was a remark against the squth that stirred up his fuss against Senator Joe Blackburn, 1o which Chandler is said to have called Blackburn an ‘‘ex-negro driver,” and Blackburn is said to have contemptuously pulled Chandler’s ears. How this may be [ don’t know, but the actions on both sides would have been perfectly natural to both senators, It would not require a very brave man to insult Senator Chandler. Heis a little pigmy of afellow weighing not over 125 pounds. His thigh is hardly as big as Black- purn’s bicops aud youcould put his little bushy, iron-gray head, black rubber glasses aud all, inside of Joe Hawley’s big cranium and it would rattle around likea pea in a bladder.

The Work Was Damages Cas High Done Irregularly and not Be Assessed—The 00l Case Disposed Of—Court Notes, Theroe are some 600 men in Omaha who will be happy when they learn of the decision handed Gown by Judge Doane yesterday. The case was that of Paul W. Harbach against Douglas county. It was a suit brought to restrain the county from paying the judges and clerks who served at tho election held last November the sum of $6 each for the days’ services. At that election the county, the city and the Board of Edu- cation participated, each corporate body electing officers. The Real Estate Owners' association took the position that but one election was held, in which ovent the judges and the clerks would be entitled to but § each. The mon who nandled the ballots looked at the matter in a aifferent light and declared that there were three elections, ono held by the county, one by the city and still unother by the Board of Education.” When the men walked up to the coun lerk’s oftice thoy were confronted with the information that an injunction had 1ssued restraining tho delivery of the war- rants. ‘The case at onco went into the dis- trict court where arguments were made some weeks ago. Judge Dgane in passing upou the case stated that there was nothiny in the petition 10 show that there was any intention of the county, the city and the Board of Education sharing the expense. Again, the petitioner had not brought the proper suit. He had gone directly into court, when he sbould have appealed from the action of the Board of County Commis- sioners allowing the claims, and that the time for such an appeal had passed. In 1857 thero was a law passed providing for the consolidation of elections, but as the judge had not inquired into that feature of tho case, he could not state whether or not the new law bad repealed the statute of 1857, Courty Attorney Mahoney stated that his understanding was that the supreme court bad beld that the law of 1857 was unconsti- tutional, The Douglas Straet Grade, In disposing of the Douglas streat gralo case, Judge Hopawell grantea the injunction restraiing the city from assessing damazes and collecting benefits, The suit was brought against the city of Omaha by Gegrge Warren Smith and others When Douglas street was ordered gradoa from Sixteenth to Twentieth streer, tho coun cil passed an ordinance ordering that special assessments bo levied against tho properiy situatea along the line of the intersecting strects, The property owners appealed from the award of the appraisers and tho case went into the court,where it was argued. In rendering the decision Judee Hopewell said: “Tho commission appointed by the council found damages in the sum of #32,0,0. The statutes provide that damages arising from change of grade shall not be pald out of the general fund, but by assessing the amount st the property benefied. Now, did ouncil dothisi ~Evidently it attempte | 10 follow the law in ibis partioular. Th statutes provide that the damuges shall be as sessed in such a manuer us to equal the beug. ut did council follow this plant The plaintiffs claim that property own ers along Douglas street were not damaged, but instead their property wa< benelited, as their lauds, which prior to the change of grade were purely residence, were converted into business property and the value very much enhanced. ““The plaintiffs further claim that the city did not act legally, asit failed to give notice of the time and place of the sittiug of the Board of Equalization, the notice simply reading, ‘The board will sit on Monday, Fobruary 2, 189—. This notice was vague and uncertain, *Tho notice should have specified the time of the sitting of the board, and should have named the parties whose prop~ erty it was intendea to assess. Kyen the assessment was not in accordance with law, as some property was assessed for damages or benefits at $360 while other prop- erty was assessed at $75 per front foot. It {s evident that the board assessed the property 10 any manner that it chose without' regard to law.” The High School Case. Judge [rvine decided the case of Dr.Towne against the Board of Education and in doing 80, held that the High school building was only intonded for educating those pupils who were in the higher branches. At the same time he denied the writ of mandumus, whioh asked that the Central school be removed from the building. The suit was brought early last spring for the purpose above stated. In passing upon the case the court said that he was clearly of the opinion that the Board of E2ducation had no right to maj tain anything but the high school in the High school building, It was a faoct that bonds had been voted, and before many months the Central school would be provided for in a building of its own. He thouzht that the immediate vemoval of tho Central szhool would result in a great public inconvenience, much more so than to continue it in the High school building for a foew months, and for that reason there was no urgent necessity for eranting the writ demanded. Declded Against the Ruilroads, Judge Keyser refused the restraining order asked by the Elkhorn and the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapoils & Omaha raitronds that the city e enjoined . from assessing the railroad lote and lands within the city limits, The railroads held that the assessment would result in a donble taxation as the assessment would be made by both the state auditor and the city clerk, The court thought not, as the city clerk had made his assessment and would certify the resclt of his labors to the auditor, which would prevent the possibility of a double as- sessment, Mr. Megeath's Injunction, Judge Davis passed upon the case of Me. geath against the civy, granting a permanent injunction restraining the city from collect= ing a puving tax. This case was brought some time ago when the streets about Hans+ com park were ordered paved. The tax to pay for makiug the improvemen was ussessod against abutting propert; and Mogeath went 1ato court with & tempo= ravy injunction. He charged that the im. provemont of the streots should bo paid oud of the funds set asido for park purposes. Tho Water Works Muddle, Judge Hopawell Listened to arguments 1n tho case of Hurry W. Elliott against the American Water Works company. HKllioth asked for an injunction to restrain the water works company from receiving or collecting any moneys; disposing of its proporty or makiog uny contracts, Thoe court allowed tho attorneys until January 23 to make thely showing, e La Grippe, - 0 healthy person noetl fear any danger- % 5 consequences from ap attack of la grippe if properly treatod, Itis much the same as a severs cold and requires piecisely the sam treatment.
