THE UNHAPPY LEGISLATORS.
1t is not exactly amusing but interesting
to observe the nervous condition of the
house and senate in the last hours of exist
ence. Not all by any means feel satisfied
with the result of their efforts. They
claim some body set up scheme against
them to knock out this and that, mainly
this" and they are compelled to go back
home fearing the condemnation of their
dear people. In the midst OF the hur rah
and ''SiZ" one can occasionally see a squad
of members or senators in the lobby dis
cussing their misfortunes or good luck.
Occasionally, however, some fellow is feel
ing happy. He thinks he has made ten
strike and would like to see Plumb go to |
the cabinet, thinking he himself, under
the popular say, might almost go
to the United States senate
Self Importance to this extent among hot
house politicians grows in single night, |
and accordingly go to bed famous and |
wake up infamous. Such is the nervous
that surrounds the state
house.
"Wellhouse apples" were the striking |
feature OF the house menu today.
