LHyEL-HEADED SENATOR
Now Senator Vance
May take of his pants,
And put on his sash. with elation;
He may dress, as he feels,
For the loyal Tar Heels
Have endorsed him by reclamation.
When Congressman Brosus quotes Shake
speare in a discussion of lard, is it an intima-
ton that Bacon had hand in Shakespeare?
Queen Victoria in her speech of propagation
says: Il have offered the President of the
United States to submit to arbitration the diff
ference over the Behring Sea fisheries"
Now Mr.. II. prepare yourself to do the gallant
act,
And show to Queen Victoria you havo the
proper tact;
That Blaine and Lord Salisbury have not bit
of chance,
When in affairs of state like this Victoria dons
the pants.
Just take a seal skin sack along, made in the
latest style,
And with your best foot forward and your
debonairest smile,
Sail into Windsor Castle and let them know
what's what,
BY arbitrating England out of everything she's
got.

The Land of Ducks.

From the Liverpool Courier,
There are more ducks in the Chinese empire,
says an authority, than in all the world outside
of it They are kept by the celestials on every
farm, on the private roads, on the public roads,
on streets Of cities and on all the lakes, ponds,
rivers, streams and brooks in the country.
Every Chinese boat also contains a batch of
them. There are innumerable Matching estab-
lishments all through the empire, many of
which are said to turn out about SO 600 young
ducks every year. Sailed and smoked duck
and ducks eggs constitute two Of the most COM
mon and important articles Of diet In China.

The commissioner submitted that this was
not proper inquiry and the committee de-
cided that it should not be answered.
ANOTHER BRICK FROM Mr.. COOPER
Thereupon Mr.. Cooper again refused to pro-
coed, saying that the decision Of the committee
revealed "a predetermined disposition to
shield this man from fair investigation"
INDIGNANT Committeeman.
This aroused the ire Of the majority NOM
bers.
Chairman Morrill, declared that the language
was uncalled for
Mr.. Sawyer exclaimed: Il won't submit to
that. No gentleman would make it, and am
personally responsible"
Mr.. Cooper replied: "oh, judge, am not
afraid Of YOU"
MR.. COOPER wITHDRAws HIS REMARKS AND HIM
SELF.
After a moments re Election Mr.. Cooper arose
and stated that he had in the heat of the mo-
ment said something that he regretted and he
wished to withdraw his remarks.
Mr.. Sawyer then Withdrew his remarks, but
Mr.. Cooper was not to be placated, and an
nouncing that he was 80 bound by the COM
mittee's action to be estopped from pro-
ceeding properly he would retire, and thereupon
he picked up his papers and left the room.
THE EXAMINATION GOES on.
The committee then proceeded with the ex-
animation Of the commissioner. He said that
he had borrowed 81, 200 upon the Endorsement
of George L. Lemon and renewed the notes
from time to time. The note was held by tho
National Bank Of the Republic. Mr.. Lemon
held witness collateral for twice that amount.
He held part of mining property in Virginia,
including one Of the best gypsum deposits
In the United States, and he expected
to have II connected by railroad before winter.
Within year or two it would pay dividends on
q million dollars and witness interest was worth
s25O.OOO. Mr. Lemon hold q block of that
stock as collateral for his indorsoment upon
witness notes, which now amounted to 1000.
First preached the subject to Lemon in June
or July last year, aud it was four or i've months
afterward when witness got the money. Some
OF the stock of the mining company had been
sold for s34 per share of slO0.

We stand on bluff at the seashore. The
surf is undermining it. That deep cutting
into the bank is its work. An overhanging
mass of earth is thrown down and becomes
the toy of the waves, which reduce it to
gravel This in its turn becomes ammunition
to be hurled against the shore. Wherever this
process is going on the land falls back before
the advancing sea, and considerable results
are evident in a short time. The island of
Haligoland has been reduced, within thou
sand years, from considerable island to a
mere rock. The strings of rocky islands
along many coasts are remnants of destroyed
shore land
Thus the land yields with hardly strug-
gle so the sup remacy of the sea. Loose allu-
vial terrains give way in body. The Zuy-
der Zee so came into being five hundred years
ago, and Holland, part of which is below the
level of the sea, would have been likewise
overf1own if it had not been defended by ar
tifcial bikes. Substances Of ground have
also been sometimes observed during earth
quakes.
In other places the sea gives way. Rivers
carry out masses of detritus and deposit them
along the shores, causing the land to advance.
By the operation of this process, Roman ports
on the eastern coast of Italy have been left
away inland and whole alluvial districts of
the upper Italian plain have been wrested
from the sea-Dr Vinzenz Hlber in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

GLADSTONE ON TARIFF.
BE Ridicules the Protective System Of the
United States

LONDON, Jan. 22-Mr. Gladstone at
Chester today referred to the United
States and the plans for an enlarged navy,
He said: THAT country is still enjoying
the blessings of restricted trade and
therefore would pay 1907 so per cent more
to build a navy than it would if contented
to compete on equal terms with our
nations But its resources are so great
that it can afford to pay for the luxury of
protection. The worst was that while
America would cite England's example
for charging her navy England Will
give a similar excuse for further
naval increase. 1t is a matter
of deep sorrow to reflect that the very os-
tentatious addition to the defenses OF a
country made under real or pretended
necessity is made an apology for the in
crease of the burdens of every other coun-
try under profession of an additional Sc
curity. The policy of governments thus
tend more and more to jeopardize the
peace of the world"
The country will be likely soop to hear
much about the Parnell commission. His
opinion was that the Combreos proceed
ings constituted case of oppression prac-
ticed upon an individual by an executive
government without a parallel since the
evil times of the reign of Charles III.
