Mr.. Morgan said that during his service
in the senate of fourteen years the other
practice had been in vogue. He li6eueI
the present condition OF the senate to tbs
condition of the sycopbantic DamocIss
with a single hair holding the sword sus-
pended over his head. Yesterday the
little state of Rhode Island had su.-
pended the sword OF the SENATE over the
great states of Massachusetts, Ohio and
New York. Rhode Island had informed
the senate that at the will and pleasure,

caucus committee, free speech WAS 10 be
prohibited. II. he said the sword were
hung over the heads OF sycOphauts gul
towards there might be something in 1t,
but when it was suspended over tho
representatives OF sovereign states OF the
Union the action would be met in no
other manner than by an indignant pro-
test against the injustice, its wrongful
ness and its improperly. The president
thought he was leading this movement
which would apply as vol to the finance
measure as to the election bill. Hs was
doing ii just as gnat was moving the
buffalo on whose horn he rested. The
movement was in the hands OF senators
on this floor who were asplrauts for the
presidency.
Pending further debate the hour OF II
arrived and Mr.. Mcpherson continued
his speech against the election bill.
After Mr.. Mcpherson concluded his
speech Mr.. Hoar took the floor, but SAID
he did not propose to address the senate
to-day. lie wished the senate TO romsin

a message from the president was soon
afterwards received aud read, returning
without has approval the bill approprat-
ing SIS, 900 for O public building at Bar
Harbor, Me. on the ground that the
public needs at that place did not JUSTIFY
such an expenditure. 1t was referred to
the committee on public buildings aud

Of Mr.. Hoar, adjourned till Saturday ut

party had not one such man, Miller

Sat on my knee one Christmas morn,
With apron full as it could hold,
From smiling Plenty's fruitful horn;
While in manner gravely quaint,
She questioned of her Patron Saint.
Where did he live, where was he born!
Did he, like US, come from the sky?
And was his white beard never shornf
And would he ever. ever die?
And then she paused, and earnest said,
What would do il he were deadT''
To test her faith and tax her wit
sighed and very gravely said:
MY little May, grieve for it,
But dear old Santa Claus is dead.
It's said, my dear. but listen we'll.
And a strange, true tale Will tell.
There is a schurch so old, so grand,
That not another can compare
In anywise, in any land,
And Santa Claus is bur led there;
Carved shields and roses crown his bier,
And lords and kings are lying near"
Incredulous, but fearful still.
She raised to mine her swimming eyes
''But who did then my stocking MIR"
And thoughtfully, again replies,
There must be some mistake, because
Our cook has seen old Santa ClsUs!'
Then with an eager, puzzled look,
''But was it very long ago?
And did you read it in book?
For some books are not true. you know
''But this is true, my little elf,
For have seen the grave myself"
