some observers insist that she does what
she does by physical eXertion. II so, it
is still very wonderful that young girl
of soft muscle should be able to over

THERE is one thing that makes decent

assault upon him 10y little ours whom he
has properly kicked aside when they
appeared to obstruct the proper path of

Kelly should show such smallness, for
we have never thought him mean or
small, whatever his faults. We are not
surprised at the characteristic spteful
ness of Dana, or the barking of little
dog Grady and the other whelps. 1t is
probably disgust az the littleneSs of
Cleveland'S enemies that drives the dele

The Republican newspapers OF the
District are still rehasbiDg the pettifog-
giug arguments used by MIR. TAYLOR
against the land bill introduced in Con
gress bv General WARNER, by request /;
and with characteristic fairness these
brilliant paragraphers usually leave the
impression that the bill is still pending
AMI is likely to become law at any time.
Aud, as Mr.. TAYLOR seemed to regard
this as one OF his strong points in the
Cambridge debate, it is fair to presume
that he also is running it through the
hopper ON all occasions.
The truth about the bill was stated by
General WARNER during the debate
that it had been introduced by hin Jy
request. and that the Record ought to
show the fact. In reply, Mr. TAYLOR
with great flourish of trumpets, said i,
"But that is not so; if it were the bill
ouShs ~ SnOW W. aui ~ I'eS uOt SNOW
it. / brought it from The fies, an | it is
not there"
Bu' il tUas there all the Same, for the
Congressional Record Of March s, 1880,
Vol 10, pit. 2, page 1899, shows that the
bill was introduced by request. If Mr..
TAYLOR had beer fair AMI honest in ar.
gunent, he sholli have stated the truth.
But the truth when statei destroys his
point.
Everybody knows that q hill lntrodu-
ced by request is NJ m,te the bill OF the
member who Introduces it than OF any
other member. Tie member who intro
duces bill in that manner Is no more
responsible for what is in it than if it
were p4tition 1t is done as an act o I
courtesy, and the member Introducing 1t
may himself vote against the bill should
it ever he reported from the Committee
for passage. AS has been stated before,
the bill was handed to Gen WARNER by
some association of soldiers, who had
chanced to get hold of an old Revolu- :
tionary bill, had copied it and who wish
ed to have it introduced into Congress.
1t was an expression OF sentiment Of the
sociation and / n no sense the sentiment
of General WARNER. HIS recognized
inf renee in Congress and his reputation
as valiant soldier probably suggested
his name to the Committee. At least,
he did nothing more than introduce the
hill, and had probably never thought Of
il since until Mr.. TAY.oa produced it to
show that the General was opposed TO
the interests Of the soldier.
