Subscribe for the Sentinel,
Congressman Mesick   Should   be
Renominated.
Washington, D. O., Dec. 30,1899.
Speaker Henderson did the square
thing by the Eleventh Congressional
district of Michigan. Notwithstanding the fact that it is very unusual indeed for a member of Congress to be
made chairman of even a tenthrate
committee at the beginning of his
second term, Mr, Mesick has been
placed at the head of the Elections
committee, a very important committee and one that will have lots of work
to do in the present Congress. Mr.
Mesick served on this committee during his first term, and as chairman of
a sub-committee had charge of a hotly
contested' election case, which he
handled so successfully as to attract
much favorable comment. He is winning his way. It generally takes a
good while for a member to get so he
can cut much figure in national legislation. No matter how able he may
be nor how great his importance in
his own district, the man who comes
to Congress must begin at the bottom
and work up. Ability is something
and acquaintance is something, but
neither wins here alone. ' Both together, they push a man into the front
rank. So it is that longer a man stays
in Congress the more infiuntial he becomes, It is very seldom that he receives very much attention during the
first two years. He is beginning to
get acquainted and he extends his acquaintance, of course, during his
second term. Just about the time he
completes four years of Congressional
life he becomes a considerable factor
and from that time on his consequence
grows rapidly. States like Maine and
Iowa as well as most of the southern
states have always recognized the importance of keeping their Congressman
here term after term and the. resultant
benefit to those states is readily discerned. In the last Congress Maine
had the Speakership and the Chairmanships of the two great committees
on Ways and Means and Naval affairs,
while Iowa stood next to the Speaker
with a membership on the committee
on Rules, and besides held the chairmanships of the committees on Judiciary, Military Affairs and Printing,
all of the first class. Neither state
could have been of such importance in
the affairs of Congress if its districts
had changed their Representatives
every two or four years. Some of
Michigan's districts seem to have
learned this lesson. The Eleventh
district needs to ponder it. Our present representative has the ability and
the energy and he is fast getting the
acquaintance and forming the friendships which tell. He is careful, faithful and, Influential now, and every day
will add to his carefulness as a member. D. E. Alward.
I-want to let the people who suffer
from rheumatism and sciatica know
that Chamberlain's Pain Balm relieved me after a number of other
medicines and a doctor had failed. It
is the best liniment I have ever
known of.—J. A. Dodgen, Alpharetta,
Ga. Thousands have been cured of
rheumatism by this remedy. One ap-
plication relieves the pain. For sale
by all druggists. ■■
Gen. Lawton wrefce a letter to a
friend, six week ago, in which nesaid:
"I would to God that the truth of this
whole Philippine situation could be
known by every one in America as I
know it. If the real history, inspiration and conditions of this insurrection, and the influences, local and external, that now encourage the enemy,
as'well as the actual possibilities of
these islands and people and their relations to this great east, could be understood at home, we would hear no
•more talkof unjust shooting of government into the Filipinos or of hauling
down our flag in the Philippines. If
the so-called anti-imperialists would*
honestly ascertain the truth on the-
ground, and not in distant America,,
they, whom 1 believe to be honest men
misinformed, would be convinced o&'
the error of their statements and conclusions, and-of the unfortunate effect
of their publications here. If 1 was
shot by a Filipino bullet, it might as
wellcome from one of my own men;
because I know from observations confirmed by captured prisoners that the
continuance of fighting is chiefly due
to reports that are sent out from
America." Only a month elasped
when the brave Lawton was killed by
a Filipino bullet in front of his men.
