CONGRESSIONAL LYING.

Is lying a national vice of such pleas
ant mien that it merits government pro-
lection? This question is suggested by
the deliberate Justification of Repre-
sentative KENNEDY's speech, which
has been done under authority of the
lower house of congress. The Con-
g%ressional Record purports to be a ver-
batim report of the proceedings Of con-
gress; and, in order that it may be ac-
%curate, efficient stenographers are en-
ployed at big salaries to take down
every word that is uttered during the
delibera tions of that body.
And yet the speech which is pub
lished in the Congressional Record is
not the speech which MI. KENNEDY
delivered on the floor of congress. nor
is it the speech which the shorthand re-
porters took down. Mr.. KENNEDY's
speech consisted mainly in an arraign-
ment of senatorial courtesy" under
which he claimed all sorts of corruption
were cloaked. And yet he now seeks
refuge under a so-called courtesy of the
house, which permits him to publish a
bare-faced lie in giving to the world a
speech he never delivered.
There isn't a h~airbreadth's difference
between the evils resulting from sena-
torial courtesy and the lower house
courtesy. The former cloaks corrup-
toe; the latter is a refuge for lies. 1t
is about time that both were abolished,
and that all congressional proceedings
were conducted on a square plan.
If a member of congress gets up on
the floor of either house and makes an
ass of himself, the fact ought to appear
on the record. The printed congress
sional record is intended for the use of
the public, and not for the exclusive
privilege of the congressman. The very
knowledge that his remarks were to be
reported and printed verbatim would be
an incentive to a congressman to be-
have himself. As it is, he can indulge
in all sorts of wild speeches on the floor
and then go to the public printers office
with an afterthought speech and have
the Congressional Record make him say
very decorous things.
The example set by those high in
authority always has a bad effect on the
masses. If a congressman is permitted
to lie under government patronage the
body of the people are in danger of
being infected with the idea that lying
is respectable. For these very good rea-
sons we insist that congress shall re turn
to the early virtues of the republic and
require all of its proceedings to be ac-
curately and truthfuily printed.

of the territorial court he added to his
repute for eminent ability and strength
of character. There is no question that
he would take high rank in the SEN
ate, and be a great advertisement
for the thrifty young state. But
the interest in his popular canvass CEN
tiers in the issues he presents, and the
courageous manner IN which he depicts
the baneful effects of the tariff policies
OF the party in power. The popular
heart seems to be stirred with the fervor
and mastery manner in which he shows
the relation of the agricultural interests
to the policies enforced at the bebest of
favored classes. The farmers are re-
ported to turn out in great numbers to
hear him, and manifest the interest of
intense conviction in his utterances.
Senator MooDY,i in his fanatical declara-
tons that he would shut out all COM
potion from abroad where possible,
makes a broad opening for contrasting
the opposing principles. 1t would be a
phenomenal political CONFUSION that
should give the friends of the Judge the
legislature, but remarkable things. are

A Snake Charms a Baby.

Leesburg tFia.) Commercial.
Mrs. j. E. Staley stepped into the
room where she had left her baby in it's
cradle while she attended to her house
work. The little one was lying on it's
back, with its eyes wide open and fixed
in a set stare. The mother spoke to it,
but the baby paid no heed to its moth
er's voice, but lay staring fixedly, with
out moving a muscle. The mother was
a little startled, as the baby had al
ways been quick to notice the mothers
voice, awakening out of sleep al the
sound of its name. Mrs. Staley went
quickly to the child and picked it up,
but still the baby stared fixedly in one
direction, turning its head as it was
moved. The mother finally going away
from the part of the room where the
cradle was, broke the child's gaze, and,
laying it down, went to the cradle to
see if she could see what the baby was
staring at. From the cradle. looking as
the baby looked through the window,
she saw the fiery. bead-like eyes of a
large snake, which had climbed up the
h%oneysuckle vine which draped the
front of the veranda, and through the
wire screen of the window had been
charming the baby. The reptile was
about four feet long,.

REPUBLICAN DUPLICITY.

The Pioneer Press is enamored with
the Fifth district Republican platform,
and at the same time processes to be
satisfied with the Anoka platform. 1t
supports CoMsToCK ana SNYDER with
equal fervor, although the platforms
upon which they were nominated pledge
the candidates to entirely different
policies.
This is but n sample of Republican
inconsistency so far as the position of
the party on the tariff is concerned. In
its professions the Republican party
is all things to all men, and yet its sole
mission on earth is to build up a Chinese
wall around the United States to eX-
clude all foreign prod ucts, and to COM
pei the people of this country to buy at
eXtortionate prices the goods of the pap
fed manufacturing trusts.
The Fifth district platform, which the
Pioneer Press laudS so highly, is the
severeSt arraignment of Congressman
CoMSToCK's record that could be made.
1t favors everything that Mr.. CoMsTo OK
has opposed. and opposes everything
that Mr.. COMsTOCK has favored. 1t is a
%clean-cut declaration of Democratic
doctrine, and is a hearty approval of
the stand taken by the Democrats in
congress against the MCKINLEY bill.
MI. COMsToCK himself repudiates the
platform upon which he was nominated,
and care not say one word in
its approval without first swall ow=
ing his whole congressional record.
If he we're a man who is honestly guided
by his convictions and possessed of a
moderate degree of self-respect, he
would decline a denomination on a plat
form which is an indictment of his
record as a representative. But not be-
ing that sort of a man, he will stick.
and help in the deception that the plat
form is intended to practice upon the
voters of the Fifth district.
Although the Pioneer Press knows
that MI. CoMsToCK IS not in accord
with his platform, and that if he is re-
elected he will continue to be the cham
pion of the protection idea, still that
paper gives a cordial and loyal support
to him. as it does to SNYDER, who makes
no bones of being a s~traight-laced pro-
tectioniSt.
1t is actual duplicity the Republicans
are guilty of, and the fact that they are
not ashamed to practice it in open day
light is an evidence of how conscience
less thew are.

SEPTEMBER.

The long days of the summertime
Have drifted out to sea,
And haZy briefness fills the space
Where they were wont to be.
The foghorn blows the morning in,
And fog shuts round the night:
September blows its grimmest blows,
The beach is wet and white.
Hang up the tennis blazer high,
And take the bathing dress
And put it in some thimble, where
Its shadow may be less.
The summer sports are ended quite,
These girls have found their mates
The broken heart of that man can
Be mended while he waits.
Now quickly light the furnace fires,
And their good warmth shall show
That summer hath not all the joys
For mortals here below.
Beholdi the theater doors ope wide,
For city sights now look,
The grooming board brings peace and speech.
And heaven preserve the cook!

RUST IN COTTON.
Prospects for the Crop Are Rather
Poor.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 15.-The rains
since the first of August have made a
vast difference in the cotton crop, and
the present outlook is that in Georgia il
will be about 25 per cent short. This
information comes from the department
of agriculture of this state. through an
interview of Col. John WaddelI, the
commissioner. He says: 1.-The report
of the condition of the crop on Sept. 1
was so per cent of an average. That
was a falling of twelve points during
August. This was caused by rust,
caused by excessive rain. and the same
cause will depreciate the condition OF
the crop at least ten points more by the
time our October reports come in. The
rains of the past two weeks have made
the rust much worse, and there is al
ready an additional damage of ten points
since the first of September. l have
been nearly all over the state and know

larly bad in Southwest Georgia. In
North Georgia the condition of the CROP

IN THE face of their big grain stacks

beggars OF disparaging reports as to

individual instances in that. as well as
other states, where some disaster has
dissipated bright promises, but the
state generally has good crops and is
