THE SMI-WEEKL? KOBRSONIAJM.
Ol Interest Cvncerntnu Mates
men. Many statements have been
printeu nvrardin the status of
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, after
March 4 His terra expires on
that date and, wlmffhe is morally
certain of re-election, as he has
no opposition, the Georgia legis
lature will not convene until June.
It has been assert that in the
event of a special session of the
Senate to consider the San Do
mingo treaty, after the adjourn
ment of the present Congress,
Mr. Baon would be outside the
breastworks; that he could net
be appointed ad interim by
the governor of his State, s
the vacancy would not be o.e
that could be tilled by guberna
torial appointment, accordim; to
the precedents established by
the Senate.
It can be stated, however, that
Senator Bacon is not worrying
about the matter. If there
should be a special session of the
Senate, immediately following
the adjournment in March, he
will present a certificate of ap
pointment signed by the gover
nor of Georgia, and the best law
yers of the Senate say that he
will be admitted without ques
tion. It is pointed out that in the
cases where the Senate has re
fused to recognize gubernatorial
appointments of Senatojs the
legislatures have had an oppor
tunity to elect previously and
failed to do so. In (Jeorgia, as
the legislature will not. meet un
til June, the vacuncy will be the
same, it is asserted, as when a
Senator dies or resigns when the
legislature of his Stat,' is not in
session- At such times the
walked over to tiie South Caro
linian and shook his hand and
slapped him on haelc in the most
approving manner.
In his now celebrated vaude
ville sketch, which was stricken
from the Congressional Record,
but published in all the newspa
pers, Senator Tillman applied
nicknames to certain distingush
ed Senators.greatly to the horror
and consternation of that digni
fied body. However, the truth is
that nearly every man who has
served in the Senate for any
length of time has a nickname
given him by his colleagues. Not
to have one is considered a rath
vi doubtful compliment, as it im
plies that the Senator in question
is not considered of sufficient im
portance to merit the distinction
of a non de plume.
Mr. Piatt, of New York, is call
ed the "Easy Boss," although he
has not attempted to do much
bossing in the Ssnate. The name
was acquitted before he come to
the Senate, and it has stuck.
"Our Chauncey" is the designa
tion of the junior New York Sen
ator. Mr- Clapp, of Minnesota, is
known as the "Black Eagle, " be
cause of his resemblance to Gen.
Jokn A. Logan, who bore that
tie to his skill in manipulating
the fiddle.
Mr. Lodge, of Massachusetts,
used to be spoften of as "The
Scholar," butsracethe telephone
incident at the last session, cer
tain irreverent Senators have
named him "Central. " Mr.Crane,
Lodge's colleague, is "Slender
William," and Knox, of the Key
stone State, with whom he is on
very intimate terms, is called
"Little Phil. " Mr. Knox and Mr.
Crane are about the same siza,

apart, they nre almost insepa- ; We really sive our daily life to efforts to p-erve our customers to their sat

March 4 they will arrange to se
cure adjoining seats. Neither
one weighs much over 100 pounds.
Mr- Culloui, of Illinois, is "Un

resemblance to Mr. Lincoln. Mr.
Gallinger, of New Hampshire, is
called "Mayor" on account of his j trata Soda

to maintain, such a political mon
strosity." As to the future of whiskey
traffic in that State The Journal
says:
"The State dispensary, on ac
count of the magnitude of its
operation and the remoteness of
the managing board from the
actual supervision of the people,
is full of temptations too great
to be resisted by . the average
man who will accept a place on
it. County dispensaries, managed
bv men who ate daily under
the eye of the people concerned
tan be run without danger.
How strange it is that the State
dispensary advocates could never I
isetf -this. Their foolish argu
ment has always been that with
counts dispensaries there would
be 41 times. as much graft as
there are 41 unties. However,
we will have local option even
between county dispensaries and
prohibition."
The Slate dispensary officials
purchased three million dollars
worth of whiskey a year and the
immense opportunities for graft
seemed to have been taken ad
vantage of to such an extent that
the people liually awoke to a con
ception of the great wrong and
abolished it.
