FLOOR PRIVILEGE
Congress Guards It Jealously In
Both Houses.
RARELY USED IN THE SENATE
Former Members of Thst Body, While
Free to Attend Ite Sessions, Prefer
to Shun the Scene of Their Solonlo
Effort* ? A 8tory of Everts.
What Is known as "fhe privilege of
the floor" In congress Is the right to
go upon the floor of the senate or
house when either body U In session.
Although the right to go upon the
floor of a leglslaUve body is not so ex
clusive a privilege In some of the state
legislatures, it Is a great privilege and
an exclusive one In congress. The
doors are carefully guarded while con
gress Is In session, and It Is sometimes
exceedingly difficult to have access to
senators or representatives when pub
lic business Is being done.
Senators and representatives have no
regular or rigid rule on the subject,
but It is known in Washington that
thr> statesmen feel that their constit
uents or others who desire to see them
privately should endeavor to do so in
their offices, their committee rooms or
at their residence*.
To former members of the senate and
house "the privilege of the floor" Is
given, but they do not often avail
themselves of that right. This, how
ever. is in strong contrast to the cus
toms of twenty years ago and longer,
when It was not uncommon to see for
mer members moving about on the
floor of the house when It was no
toriously known that tbey were lobby
ing for some private claim or public
graft.
Speaker Reed found this condition so
obnoxious that he Issued orders that
no ex-members should be permitted to
pass the doorkeepers without written
authority from the speaker. Subse
quent speakers have not found it nec
essary to draw the lines so rigidly,
because the abuse has almost entirely
ceased.
There Is an unwritten law, however,
governing the privilege of the floor of
the senate, and It Is the unwritten
law of good breeding, good manners
and common sen*e. Every ex -senator
has the privilege of the floor, but it Is
so seldom exercised that its abuse has
never occurred, nor is It ever likely to
occur.
Former members of the senate are
never seen there unless it Is well
known thnt they have proper business
calling them to Washington, such as
appearing before the supreme court as
attorneys for clients In great cases,
and even then it seldom happens that
an ex-senator thus engaged ever en
ters upon the senate floor, although In
going to and from the room of the
supreme court they are obliged to pass
by its doors.
After James Q. Blaine ceased to be
a senator he avoided the senate cham
i ber forever. After resigning from that
! body Senator Roscoe Conkllng of New
j York never entered the senate cham
! ber, although he was often In the
1 capltol on business before the supreme
I court. There was an exception, bow
ever, in one Instance. By Invitation
: he was one of the pallbearers of Sena
tor Logan of Illinois, who was buried
. with obsequies from the senate cham
ber, and on that occasion Senator
Conkllng was present Senator Benja
min Harrison upon leaving the sen
i ate never crossed Its threshold until
he went there to be Inaugurated aa
president. Senator Dawes of Massa
chusetts, Senator Blair of New Hamp
shire, Senator Don Cameron of Penn
sylvania. Senator Thnrman of Ohio and
Senator McDonald of Indiana are ex
! amples of distinguished senators who
remained away from the senate after
their terms expired. During the pe
riod of four years when he was In re
I tlrement Senator Gorman of Mary
' land never availed himself of the
i privilege of the floor, and during the
| two years he was without election
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania ab
! gen ted Wmself from the senate cham
ber.
From a veteran employee of the sen
ate there Is gleaned an unusually In
teresting story concerning the late
Senator Everts of New York. This
senator was one of the greatest Intel
lects In public life for many years,
1 but he was absentmlnded In small
things. On one occasion he overlook
ed the rule a boat the privilege of the
i floor. He was entertaining Dr. Oliver
j Wendell Holmes at his Washington
home and Invited his fro est to accom
pany him to the capttoL Together
they walked along the capltol corridor,
and when they came to the door of
the senate they entered together.
There was a copy of the senate rules
on each side of the doors, but Senator
Evarts did not look at them, nor. of
course, did his guest The doorkeep
ers did not interfere or ask any ques
tions.
Well. Senator Evarts gave Dr.
Holmes a seat In the rear of the desks
|f the members and proceeded to
bring Senators Hoar, Quay. Hawley
And others to Introduce to him. Quite
a levee was held there, and Dr.
Holmes was gratified with his recep
tion.
After awhile Senator Hoar went to
Senator Evarts and. calling his atten
tion to the "rule concerning the privi
lege of the floor, asked. "How did you
get him In?"
"He Is my private secretary," said
| Senator Evarts quickly, with n boyish
j twinkle in bis serious eye*. At that
time private secretaries of members
were allowed the floor prlvileg*.?

While debating the tourist business
of the past two months. H. D. Klrm*%
who is probably in a better position
to Judge than any of the business
men of Skagway, expressed his vien*
of the matter in the presence of a
representative of the Daily Alaskan
as follows : ?
"It is largely up to the merchant
whether he will have a Rood season
or not. The past season with me has
been one of the best I ever had, and
I attribute it to the fact that I have
'had the goods.' for all tourist* "must
be from Missouri and they must be
shown,' so I have been able to show
them.
"I have made a study of the tourist
trade, and in my selection of goods
for this summer's business. I us?i
the utmost care and thought. Not
alone In the nugget Jewelry line, but
in the other lines of curios which I
have had on display have I lost sight
of the fact that what the visitors
wanted was something typlral of Al
aska and the Northland, and some
thing "different." Thai I was right
when 1 made mv stock of nugsret j< w
elrv and souvenir gixul is evidenced
each time a party of 'oh e.hacos' en
ter my store. All are loud In their
praise and express their surprise at
such a store and stock being in Skag
way.
"Yes, this Is one of the most, suc
cessful seasons I have ever had, and
1 attribute it all to the appropriate
ness of my stock."
