pass they will DO their utmost to have n
heavy cut made on sugar and rice. aud IL Is
said that the LOUISIANA and south Carolina

The speech OF Congressman Kennedy, OF
Ohio. I'm the House yesterday Ia regarded Or
about the most outrageous that has been de.
livered this session. lie spoke regardless OF
fscts, and his indecent references 10 Mr
Carlisle and others are condemned 10y Re-
puhllcans even. This msn Kennedy rs
very low type Of politician and Is not In
good OdOr. Last winter at dinner given al
Senator Sherman's house he told story thai
shocked every one present. II was dirty auu
disreDutabie. and should never have been told
nj dinner In a gentleman's house. Somt
time after that Kennedy related story W
the presence OF ladies that Was 50 vulgar
that he came near beng thrasbcd by male
relatives OF the ladies present. such lei
low % Kennedy can do no harm 90 congress
men Ike Carlisle, Crisp. and Turner, and hi'
vile asperuons on the South will do NO harm
60 that section, Tor Kennedy i regarded as !
tough citizen wherever he Is known.
Senator Rddlebergar failed 70 show up "

the old men over on the Republican SIDE o.
the chamber.
10 Is possible that by working many hours
day all OF the appropriation bills may b'
passcd, but il does not now seem possible Ia
Uass them ALL Should two or three OF these
measures fail an extra session conld not be
avoided. The senate has been adding many
exlravagant items to several Of these bus
and Mr. Randall is determined not to yield
and the chances are the House VII
stand by It's own Appropriation Com
mittee. The library inciea~e Is th'
worst item that bas been added by th'
senate 10 the suudry civil bill. The Senst'
will have to recede on tbs item or the bi'
will fail. The House has passed emphali'
cally on this matter ALREADY, and Will stand
no iool,shness. Thst library scheme Is on,
Of plumber, and n the raog Is not squelcheC
now there i no teinng bow It will end.
