A couple of Western men from the noun

elocutionary Congressman was to do dec

go and hear him. When they got In and

"Course am. useter know four or

Finally the Congressman rose to speak.
His selection was "Rienzi's Address," and
Dave and Tom were all attention as the
speaker came forward, bowed and began:

Tom looked at his companion.
"IIell, Dave" he said in hoarse whis-

The resolution which has passed the
Senate providing for change Of in
anguration day from March A to May
30 should not be overlooked by the
House in the hurry and confusion of
the closing hours of the session. No
objection to the change has been raised
in any quarter; on the other hand it
commends itself at once to every mans
intelligent approval. As 1t involves a
slight constitutional amendment, how.
ever, the matter should be disposed of
without delay, that proper time may be
given for its ratification by the several
State Legislatures in advance of the
next Presidential Inauguration.

1t would be bad policy to allow a Dem
ocratic President "to put so good a
colored Democrat In office" Mr.. In.
gals is a staunch Republican, and the
members of that party have for years
been posing as the great friend of the
colored people. There may be some.
thing, after all, in the Democratic
statement that Republicans care for the
man and brother only when the man
and brother can be of use to them po'
litically. 1t Is human nature, ire
spective of party.
