Wheeler has done Southern Illinois an
injustice that she will never overcome.
Thousands and thousands of dollars have

makeup and actions. His points were
hut a weary rehash OF the charges OF the
Republican press and parts Of Garlicld's
speech. 1t was listened TO by very
small and not very attentive audience Of
members. Cox replied TO the
long and deliberately prepared
harangue in IN impromptu speech OF
twenty minutes in lepgth. He soon had

during his speech by members who were
completely able to rcfute them.
LUDICROUs SCENE.
Mr.. Cannon in defending Greene b.
Raum allowed Cox TO get laugh on
him, and tor fifteen minutes he stood in
the aisle trying TO get the attention Of
the house, but every time he began
speaking laughter on all sides began
again, and he finally had to sit down
without completing his point. He is left
handed, and the merriment was caused
by CoX's ridicule OF his gestures which
he was unable to restrain. There prob
ably never was a more ludicrous scene in
a legislative body. sH-.

Robson has settled down to his old
tricks now that the committee has quit

CONGRESSMAN GARFIELD's speech in the
house in answer to the one made by Mr..
Lamar on the condition of the South, is
described as "a stump speech which
wandered back TO the Tories of the rev.

praised the Republican party, tried to
show that the country could not safely
trust itself TO the Democrats. and in con
'ausion asserted that In order 10 make
liberty, peace and order safe, or in his
'own words, TO have them saved alive

CULLERToN, member of the whisk V
ring of Chicago, who was sentenced by
Judge Blodgett to Imprisonment for six
months, and topay fine of one thousand
dollars, has been pardoned, the pardon
not extending to the recruitment OF the
line. Cullerton and his Republican
friends are all happy "that he has es-
capped the disgrace of six months So
journ in the county jail" The Republic
can idea is that TO steal from the govern.
ment is all right-the disgrace is in being
punished for il.

grcss. lie has not, so the reporter says,

when he was Il candidate for congress,
declared the expenses of the government
to be extravaganza, and pledged his vote

this is true, he is guilty of violating this

was made merely as II part of the eloc-

a DEAD HAWK, AND A LIVE ONE
"What commotion you are making" said
sparrow to a flock OF small birds, chatter
ing and twittering round the body OF a hawk
that lay still and cold on the ground. "He's
dead, he's dead!' they cried; ''we are safe
from him now; he will never Brighten us
again!" brighten us' cried the sparrow,
hopping up TO the dead enemy and giving
him contemptuous little peck. "Speak for
yourselves, my friends; as for me, 1 never
saw so much TO be frightened about in the
fellow. After all, as You may see, he is but
bird; he has wings and head, and legs,
and claws. and so have we. A close view
shows one the absurdity of needless alarm;
for my part, Intend in future 10 show 10 the
whole tribe - why, where are you all
going?" he exclaimed, stopping In his
harangue, as the small birds suddenly took
wing. "Of, as fast as we cam" they said;
"the hawks mate is towering above, and, as
we haven't received your new light, We pre-
fer going out of her way. You can stay and
tell her your mind" Hawks mate? You
don't say SOL" screamed the sparrow. Here;
let me pass, pray!" and he brushed through
the throng, and never rested till he had
gained his hiding place.
