WHEN we see the corrupt lobby
harpies, revived into vicious life
by the spectacle OF a Congress once
again Republican in both
branches, gathering at the Ma
tional Capital, we are reminded Of
a repulsive but most sensational
phase of Sponsors poetry. In one
of his im mortal efforts Spenser has
drawn the spectacle Of q human
being, ia an advanced stage of de.
composition, PROSTATE in u cave,
myriads Of losthsoms creatures
crawling In and out Of his mouth.
This dreary skeleton, with Its pain
full accessories, will doubtless be
paralleled during the Republican
supremacy in the present Con-
gress. The smell OF carrlon at
tracts the vultures; and, already,
every uuclean turkey buzkard, aud
other bird of unpleasant signifi-
canoe, is circling around the pre-.
tentious white marble building in
which our national Legislators
meet. The probability Is that,
With q correct NEUROLOGICAL In
stinct, they know what they are
about. The heroic old Republican
party has reached that stage of dis
solution In which every unclean
creature takes o hand.

A Sneezing Scene.


Probably one OF the meanest
stage tricks that WAS ever PLAYED
WAS played on Mary Anderson. 1t
will be remem bered that In the
play of "Ingomar, "Partbenia"
and the barbsrians have several
love scenes, where they lop on
each other and hug some-that is,
not too much hugglng, but just
hugging enough. "Ingomar"
wears o huge fur garment, made of
lions skin, or something. One day
he noticed that the moths were
getting into it, and he told his
servant to see about the moths and
drive them out. The servant got
some Insect powder and blowed the
garment full of II, and scrubbed
the inside of it with benzine. en-
gomaI" put it on just before he
went on the stage, and thought he
didn't smell just right, but
he had no time to inquire
into it, He had not got
fairly into his position be.
fore "Parthenia" came out on
hop, skip AMI jump, and threw
herself all over him. She got one
lung full Of insect powder and the
other full of benzine, and as abe
said, swift always love me, Ingo-
MARI" she dropped her head over
his shoulder aud said in an aside,
"For the love of heaven what have
you been drinking?" and then she
sneezed q couple OF times. "Ingo-
mar" held her up the best he could,
considering that his nose was full
of insect powder, and he answered,
II wilt" and then he said to her
quietly, "Damfino; what Ia it that
smells SOP" They went on with
the play between sneezes, aud
when the curtain went down che
told "Ingomar" to go out and
shake himself, and he did 1t. It
was noticed in the next act that
"Ingomsr" had linen ulster on,
and Mary snozs no more.

BILE political depths, hardly ascer-

the deeps to which the once proud
and self-respecting Republican Or

As to the House Of Representa-
tives, knowing, as we do, that
there are dozen so.called Reform
members In that body, we have
absolutely no hope whatever.
Every one of these reformers and
Independents is purchasable, and
at easy quotati ons. the only ques.
ton being as to the price. Away
back, one hundred and fifty years
ago, Sir Robert Walpole, the
Premier of Great Britain, an.
nounced that every man had his
price. He took this degrading es'
innate of his kind from the easy
virtue of the "patriots" who were
opposed to him. Somewhat later
DR.. Samuel Johnson, who watched
closely every phase of British poll
tics In his time, said that 'the las
refuge of a scoundrel was patriot
ism." Putting everything to-
gether, We are inclined to think
that tho Republican regime, which
Is now established In the execu
tive, legislative and judicial de-
partments of the government, will
soon be a stencil In the nostrils o.
our people. Already the lobby
vultures are gathering around thu
Capitol, whose pure white marble
will never crimson at their pres

Baptism.
The colored Baptists have been car
rying on a meeting in their church IN
town nightly for some time. Sunday
afternoon eight persons, six women and
two men, were immersed in pool by
side of the creek. A very large crowd
was present 10 witness the ceremony
and comparatively few Of the spectators
seemed to he impressed with the solem-
nifty of the occasion. The ceremony
was attended ay the singing of very
peculiar sort of song that sounded more
like corn song'' than anything to be
found in sacred melody. We take the
following stanza as sample:
(Solo-"Jf you want to see the devil run,
(Chorus)-Amen.
Just FIRE off the gospel gun,
Cho:us) Amen.
| (Grand Chorus)-Children John says you
must be baptized,
And Jesus says you're welcome"
Among the parties baptized was old
! Steve, the well known wood-chopper.
