books on whist propose for the humiliation
Of the imbeciles who insist on playing over
the last hand while the next one is being
dealt: "1f your aunt had been a man would
she have been your uncle y But Mr..
| MORSE doesn't ask conundrums. IIo an
swers them. He settled the farm mortgage
| question and kissed his hand to the Pro-
| hibitionists at the same time
wipe out the accursod whskoy tranlc by rrohi
| buon and divert the millions that worse than
| squandered aud wasted in tho saloon to legitimate
channels OF trade aud the thrift and prosperity which
would follow the annhilation Of the whskoy tranic
] would very soon solve the mortgage question"
But whiskey is not the only stain to be
| wiped out. Mr.. MORSE wants to give the
Interstate Commerce Inv wiping. 81
rSk here" he said in n most muscular,
Il eaty, and moving passage, "to insert in
| my speech some remarks which l made be-
| fore the Committee on Commerce at the
opening OF the session in favor of the repeal
OF the Interstate Commerce law" And then
he hoped upon the tripod once more. You
can almost hear the afflatus sizz:
no this and spite Of frauds In tho South and the
of the Republican voters there (Which
method may DO devised to prevent do this,
say and tho next tho Fifty second Congress will Oe
BgNJAaS HARRIsoS will be reelected President Of the
United States and repeat this great country OF ours
with than sixty miops of people will enter unon,
Ru of prosperity unknown In history and unptece
donted in the history OF States and nations
Again Mr.. MORSE makes us think OF the
uncle and-aunt conundrum, but we dismiss
such thoughts as unworthy OF such man
and such IL Speech and ponder this impress
sive and penetrating remark:
81 append here few out OF hundreds OF remarks OF
the press have received from different sections OF the
country since the delivery of the above remarks before
the Committee on Commerce but these are specimens
OF hundreds in the same line"
Tho "same district once represented by
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS" will soon be covered
with n fall two inches thick Of Congressional
Records, full of specimens of the remarks OF
Mr.. ADAMs's successor and distant relative,
and of specimens Of the wonder and amaze
OF q free press at the Hon. ELIJAH's ascen-
sion. Next he lays down this mixed and diff
cult programme for the Fifty-tirst Congress:
81 am suro we shall receive the endorsement of tho
country work will not be comp eed with the pas
sage of the Tariff bill Before this Congress adiourns
should redeem promise to the business interests
of the country by the passage OF bankrupt law. We
should laws for the restriction and regulation OF
immigration | wish that we might pass the BLAIR
Educational bill We must correct the decision OF tho
Supreme Court by legislation and give the States the
right traffic i'll alcoholic liquors which their
laws forbid
I'VE should institute prayed for by thousands of
our people commission to investigate the liquor tra
fc. wish might a Postal Telegraph bill and
take the hand OF that great monopoly. the Western
Union Telegraph Company, of from the people. We
to pass reasonable River and iiarbor bill make
reasonable additional appropriations for public build
ings the great OF trade and then 10 home
to our constituents with tho consciousness OF having
done our whole duty"
At any rate Mr.. MORSE will go homo to
his great centre of trade with the conscious
ness of having done his whole duty to his
country. his district and his business. In |
the busy marts of Hull, in the giant ware
houses of bingham, in the teeming thorough
fares OF Toad Hill, the name OF ELIJAH
ADAMS MORSE is as familiar as pie in all
mems mouths. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS was
never such man as ELIJAH ADAMS MORSE.
II the Canton cornet band will give Mr.
MORSE a serenade when he returns to the
bosom Of his constituency, We have no doubt
that the lemonade will be copious.
