VOL .IV. b A>VERY BRAINY MAN. I REFERENCE IS HERE MADE TO K\W SPEAKER JOHN (i. CARLISLE. IIik Derisions in ILf llousr Never Appealed From. Washington, Sept, 3.? If you were to ask members of congress, government officials, newspaper corresp(%*lbnts and other close observers the question, "Who is the most intellectual man in public life?" probably a largo majority would answer, "Ex-Speaker Carlisle." Neither party nor politics would have anything to do with these replies. It is a singular fact that Carlisle is as much admired by Republicans as by the members of his own party. Without any great personal popularity of t^) kind that comes from good fellowship, genial manners and the arts of fasoination practiced by common men, Carlisle nevertheless has such a hold upon the members of the house that in all probability he could be elected speaker for a score of years could his party but obtain and hold the majority. In the opinion of many statesman, Republicans and Democrats alike, Cnrlisle was the greatest speaker that ever presided over the house of representatives. A successful speaker of the house must have many qualities of a high order. He is a judge who must intotpret the law?the rules of the house?a scoro of times a day. These interpretations must not only be made instantly as occasion requires, but they must be rendered in language that is spread upon the records, in form and habiliments ab solutely extemporaneous. Sitting where the fierce conflicts of party culminate, where t.ho passions and selfishq^ss of men clambor loudest r ?i *? - ' iui iiuvuiiin^!, wnoro I HO COUIUSlOll 18 distracting to the sonsos and do. structive of the nervous forces, whore even the physical strength is often sorely taxed, the speaker is called upon to hand down decisions which make or mar his fume. In the nature'? the case little or no deliberation is possible; unlike the judge 011 the judicial seat, ho has no opportunity for writing out his conclusions. 1 The war of words rages before him; logic, learning and oloquonce are poured out by the leaders of the contending forces in conflicting, distracting profusion, and then there comos a pause. All eyes are turned upon the speaker. A few seconds pass, and that officer rises in his place?it is an occasion of great importance when the speaker rises to announce a ruling?and the supreme moment has arrived. When Carlisle had such a decision to render, it was curious to watch the faces of the members. These wore an expression which seemed to say, "Now we shall hove the truth: the master mind of all will throw a flood of light on this shadow, y question, which others have scintillated upon without illumining." With voice clear as abelland diction as perfect as a Cicero's or a Macau lay's, Mr. Carlisle's decisions were announced. Once ruled upon by him, a question was forever settled. With unanimous consent all persons conceded the correctness and justice of his ot his conclusions. It is a remarkable fact that no decision of Carlisle as speaker whs over appealed from in the house. Last winter thero was a notable struggle ov<?f the rules. The point U was vital to the life of an important i measure. It quickly became a par. \ ty question, aii(| the leaders of the I right and tha left joined in the deFbate. For two or three days the discussion ran on, participated in by Randall, Reed, MoKinley, Cannon, Burrows, Crisp of Georgia and many other prominent members. At last the speeches were all made, and every ey*^ was turned toward the speaker. Without a moment's hesitation Mr. Carlisle rapped once with' his gavel, rose, and in his usual perV feet style traced the origin of the rule in question, described its develI opment, explained its scope and apl&E . plication so clearly, so oomprehen1 sively, with such irresistible logic, B that every man on the floor, no MBfct matter what his previous opinion had i been, felt that the speaker waa right, I |feAnlonff the hundreds of men close- 'i ill COI ly watching Mr. Carlisle was William McKinley, Jr. Mr. Kinley loaned forward in liis seat, intently looking and listening. He appeared like one entranced. As soon as the speaker had concluded, McKinloy turned to his neighbor, ex-Governor Kong, of Massachusetts, put his hand on tho governor's shoulder, and said: "That man never had a cloudy thought." Carlisle is a great lawyer. In the opinion of good judges he has no eqaul in mastery of the fundaments of law, utiles it bo in Justice Miller of tha supreme court. The ex-speaker is not what one would term a studious man. To him everything comes easily. Seme years ago .loe Blackburn, now senator but then representative from Kentucky, was a candidate for speaker of tho house. So was Carlisle. "Uuriisie is entitled to mighty little credit for what ho has done in this world," said Blackburn. "In fact, ho is not entitled tc half as much credit as I am. The little I know I have worked hard for. 1 luivo had to study, dig, grub, toil. Now thero is Carlisle, lie know about four times as much as f do, and it lias all come to him without an effort on his part. He has all the wisdom of the ancients, and of the niodorns, too, rolled together. To say grout things, to say things better than anybody else could say them, he bas but to open his mouth. This isn't, the result of work?ho was born that way." Carlisle's career has been almost meteoric. Only twelve years ago he was a lawyer of Covington, Ky., a town diroctlv across the rlviir I J " ",w * " ' A A Wl II Cincinnati. There ho earned a large income in tho practice of his profession, principally as advisory counsel in important or difficult cases. Muring his dozen years in public life ho has served throe terms in tho high office of speaker of tho house of rep. resentatives, elected thereto tho last time without opposition. In twelve years ho has firmly established 1 his fame as one of the really great ! men of his time. The ex-spoakor's mind is distinctly judicial?logical, analytical, keen as a ray of sun-light, but unswerving, A favorite expression among his 1 many admirers is libo unto that made ' use of by McKinles, from whom ' praise is praise indeod, on tho occa- ' sion above described. Thoy say ' "Carlisle's mind is so constituted it ( is impossible for him to err." Though ' a party man, and the champion of an 1 idea, ho was never guilty of tho ! slightest partiality. No man knows 1 better than he how, in tho sneaker's < * chair, points can bo strained in favor of one's friends; not a few of Car- ' lisle's friends have taken offense at ' his inexorable refusal to strain points 1 in their behalf. ' "Carlisle would make the greatest 1 chief justice of the supremo court * wo have had since Marshall," said a 1 Republican senator. It is not gener- ' ally known how near Carlisle came 1 to being chief justice. When Presi- ' dent Cleveland had a vacancy to fill 1 after the death of Chief Justice Waite ' ho turned first to the speaker of the ' house. To Mr. Clevoland Mr. Car- 1 lisle appeared conspicuously fit for ' the high post. The app'ointment 1 had been virtually decided upon, 1 when for some roason or other Sena- ' tor Vest, of Missouri, appeared at the < White House. lie told the presi- ! dent Carlisle could not bo confined ' hv t.fl? SAIiala if - ? .i iv/iinuaimi nil III* credible story, which, for a wonder, 1 Mr. Cleveland placed some confi- i dencc in. < As soon as Mr. Carlisle's friends < heard of this, which was not for sotne days, they made a systematic and < thorough canvas of the senato to see < how many of its members would dare vote against the great speaker of the ! other legislative branch for an office 1 but little higher than the one which ' he already occupied. Without ex- I ception the senators of both political | parties announced their willingness to indorse Mr. Carlisle's nomination Ilebresentative Hatch and other de- i voted friends carried this news to the 1 speaker, whom they found in the barber's chair in the house retiring < rooms. When these friendg told the result of their inquirers, the speaker, without a turn of his head or notice* ablo tinge of di sappointment or envy ;* "V " " Be Tvue to Your s WAY, S. C. TI in his voico, replied: "It is too late, gentleman. The nomination of Melvillo VV. Fuller, of Chicago, has been decided on." Within an hour Mr. Fuller's namo j was sent to the senate. Why should there ho doubt of Carlisle's confirmation as chief justice? This is the question which naturally occurs to the reader unacquainted with the facts, as doubtless, most readers aro. It is a question I which forces home the journalist, the lotter writer, the historian of the day, a problem in the ethic3 of his profession. Fortunately the private lives of public men are not the subjects of idle gossip in the columns of reputable newspapers. If they were, how many idols would be shattered, how many hearts would bo filled with sadness, none but the veteran journalist, familiar with all the lights and shadows of life in the capital, is capable of estimating. Merely as an instance of this, thoro is a 1 I - nameiess out very prominent senator, well along in years, but with glorious possibilities in his future, as well as a great past behind him. Though one of the last men in tho world to be suspected of evil, there nro a half dozen persons, both male and female, who could, if they chose, blast the private part of his fair fame by simply opening their mouth. Mr. Carlisle's failing is not of this sort, llis reputation is at no man's mercy but his own. His weakness is not a secret, is not a thing that subjects him obloquy. It is simply such a fault as scores of great and lovable men have boon afllicted with, as Daniel Webster was afllicted. But for this fault, which manifests itself periodically, and which is to be spoken .of always in sorrow and noror in criticism, Mr. Carlisle would now bo the chief justice of the supremo court of tho United {States. When congress meets a fow weeks hence, the smooth, classic face of Mr. Carlisle will bo missed from tho speaker's chair, whore it has boon seen for six consecutive yoars. It is safo that the now spoaker, bo ho Heed, McKinloy, Cannon, Burrows, Henderson or unother, will not blush to acknowledge that during the lust three congresses ho has taken (Jarlisle as his model, only hoping somo day to bo worthy of sitting in his chair. The ex-spoaker now takes his place on the floor, where without doubt he will at once, by common consent, assume the leadership of his party. Thero is no loss without somo gain, for if the house loses the services of the greatest speaker it has ovor had, it will gain an eloquent, masterful debater on the floor. Mr. Carlisle was a perfect speakor Duly when he sat as a judge, arbiter af the rights of measures and parties, *rd guardian of the privileges of individuals under the rules. As a disciplinarian he was not always successful, being at times somewhat indifferent, almost stolid, amid the turbulence of tho chamber. Soon his favorite exclamation, delivered always with tho same peculiar pronunciation and smart emphasis?"The hoose will bo in order?"?lost its force and effectiveness' though often iccompanied by sharp tappings of the gavel. Hut when he chose to rouse himself and to appeal to tho members in phrases unusual and therefore indicative of greater oarnsstnoss, it was pleasant to see tho ?torm abate and tho troubled waters become still. There is much in a voice, and Mr. Carlisle has a voico ivlli/d, ininraud nrnni ...V.? I vi vij uuu vi nu nunrn it, not for its groat strength or penetration, but by the sincerity and candor which it betokens. On the floor of the house at the coming session will bo three exjpoakors?Mr. Carlisle, Nathaniel I*. Hanks, of Massachusetts, and Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania, leaving out of the count S. S. Cox, who was speaker pro tem. at the first session of the Forty-fourth congress, during the illnes of Speaker Kerr. If Mr. Carlisle lives long enough, und ho is now 54, ho is likely-to find himself in the senate. Kentucky haB already heaped tnan? honors upon him, and in proper time delight to heap many more. A country * born, Mr. Carlisle's education was simply that of a country school, in which ho was afterward Hv- '"''I)---: Ptf !W| wordar\ii Your war, I U liS A Y, SE1> the toachor.

The foregoing was shown to Dr.! (\ K. Panknin, of this city, yesterday. Dr. Panknin said that it was of course interesting, but that he had but little faith in the result. The nobleman who is reported to have loft the $5,000,000 to his heirs be- j longs to the Russian family of the Panknins, who resided at Moscow. The family to which Dr. Panknin belongs is direct from Stottin, but is a branch of the Russian family, which oinigrated to Germany, tho emigration having taken place during the life of Dr. Panknin's grandfather. Dr. Panknin has written to tho United States consuls at Moscow and at Stettin and oxpocts to hear from *1 1 / ' l - - ' mom ueumieiy on tno interesting J subject. Printers Exempt From Disease. Owing to the dust arising from type and metal, and the tendency of compositors to lean over the case while at work, it has been frequently asserted that the printing business is not conducive to long life. This is a mistake. There is scarcely any indoor occupation, when care as to eating and drinking is observed, than that of printing. During yellow fever periods in the southern states, they were singularly exempt, and thia has also been the case in the cholera epidemics which have recentoccurred in various states in South America. Itecentlv the cholera ore-1 ^ ^V* I vailed in Chili, causing great mortality among the people, yet out of one hundred members of the Typographical Union of Valparaiso, not one member had been attacked. In the visitation of yellow fever in the fifties in Alabama and New Orleans, the printers wero the last to leave their post of duty. On one oecasion the writer passed through Montgomery, Alabama, where a compositor on the Alain mm Slate, Journal was the only white inhabitant in the nlacrue stricken nit v. Aswel i o J " " v were then returning ^to Now York, wo had to pass either through cholera at Nashville and in Virginia, or go through yellow fever at Mobile or New Orleans, so we did not* tarry in the city; but on returning next season, we tried to make the acquaintance of this brave typy, but found that he had from some other ail mont "closed his take" and passed to that bourn from whence there is no returning.

Mr. Cox's last conversation was about the four Territories, whose Statehood he hoped to father. llo mentioned New Mexico and Arizona and said something about making an effort in their behalf at tho coining session. In tho afternoon, while Dr. Lockwood was talking to him, Mr Cox made some witty remarks, which com- J pletoly upset the doctor's dignity. I )r. Lock wood said that tho immediate cause of death was heart failure and the cause was peritonitis. Samuel Sullivan Cox was born in '/.anesville ()hio, Soptembor, 30, 18124. llo atlotulod tho Ohio I'nivorsity at Athens and was graduated at llrown in L840. During his stay at collego ho maintained himself by literary work and obtained the prizes in classics, history literary criticism and political economy. Adopting the profession of the law iio returned to Ohio to begin practice, but soon laid it aside and went to Kuropo. On bis rot urn he became, in 1853, editor of the (Columbus, Ohio, Statesman, and from that time turned his attention to political issues. While editing this journal he published a gorgoous doscrption in sophomoric strain, which procurod for him the sobriquet of "Sunset" (Cox. Mr. Cox was offered in 1855 the secretaryship of legation in London, but declined it. The opportunity was giuon not long after of going to Lima, Peru, in a similar capacity, and "lie accepted. He remained in Peru one year, and on his return was elected three times, serving continuously from Decembor 7, 1857, until March 3, 18(15.

Flo sorved on the committee on foreign affairs, banking, the Centollnial Exhibition and rules. At the opening of the first session of the 45th Congress, in 1877, ho was one of throe candidates for tho Speakership. Although not elected, he served frequently as Speaker pro tern. In this session he took upon himself, by a special resolution of his own, the work of the now census law. He was the author also of tho plan of appointment adopted by by the House.

The latter moasuro involved an appropriation of $90,000, but its results justified the action.
