wardly a. the average Senator's, but there
is lust about as much in it as in the Uranium
of any other Senator in the United States.
OF course, it is impossible in this cursory
review of the nights proceedings to do JUS
tice to Senator Faukner's speech, but those
who are interested in tie great effort that ne
made, during which he held the floor for Il
hours. replied to all impertinent and peril

ness of the bill, will have to appeal to the
congressional records and to the printed re-
ports Of his speech, which will undoubtedly
be issued in due time.

his country honor and glory, and service
beyond description aud beyond price, in the
work performed last night and this morning
in the highest legislative body of our COM
mon country.-,S. Louis Republic.

The St. Louis RepuJiic, referring to the
all night session in which Senator Faulkner
distinguished himself and pretty nearly ex-
tinguished the Republican advocates of the
Force Bill, says:
Senator Faulkner yielded to an Interrupt
ton from his colleague, Mr.. Kenna.
Kenna is one of the most forcible and at
the same time one of the most plain-spoken
men in the Senate. He stated emphatical
ly that Hoar had reported amendments to
the bill purporting to be from the Commit
tee on Privileges and Elections As mat
ter of fact, they were the products of his
own mind, and Johnny Davenport's, per
haps, alone, aud had never been submitted
to a single member of the Committee on
Privileges and Elections. Mr. Kenna ca,ti-
gated Mr. Hoar in parliamentary manner,
and caused u shudder to run through the
chamber.
A general expectation went round that
the row was about to begin. HOar sat shiv-
ering In his seat while kenna spoke. His
face blanched, his mouth opened, and the
perspiration was dropping from his fore
head. He tried to excuse himself by say
ing that it was a common custom of the
Senate to do what he had done He insisted
that he had done nothing wrong Kenna,
however, was fortified with an extract from
the record of the Senate, and showed that
Hoar had reported several amendments as
coming from the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, when, as a matter of fact, no
body except Hoar and Johnny Davenport
had ever seen them previous to their intro
duction into the Senate.
This, of course, made a sensation, and
Hoar went around the Senate chamber pit
eOusly pleading with Senators on both sides
TO help him out ofthe predicament in which
he had been placed He did not find any
comfort, however, on either side of the
chamber, and the bold and brilliant Senator
from West Virginia took his seat completely
satisfied that he had shown up the Pecksnif'
from Massachusetts, in his proper light"

Senator Faulkner developed his useful
ness to the party by his work in the debate
on the Force bill last week. He spoke,
counting Interruptions and waits on a call
of the House, for ten hours continuously and
made one of the strongest arguments yet
head against the measure. He displayed a
wonderful mastery Of the subject and came
out victor in every colloquial contest while
his speech was being delivered. He drove
Grandma Hoar into Mysteries, and ratified
the brainy SpOoner so badly that he was
glad enough to seek the privacy of a cloak
room and suffer his humiliation in silence.
During Mr.. Faulkner's speech he was inter
rupted by Spooner who said, referring to the
purpose of the measure, that if he had a
boil on the back of his neck he would not
plaster his entire back for its relief Mr..
Faulkner quickly caught the meaning OF
Spooner's remark and turned it against its
author with wonderful effect. Mr. Faux
ner said in substance that the admission OF
Spooner was one he had long been trying to
get some of the opposition to make, viz, that
it was not proposed to apply the bill to all
parts of the country alike, but only to the
South. He endorsed his satire and SC
thoroughly basted the Wolverine Senator
that he left the Senate chamber disguised
with himself and no doubt way back in his
heart heartily ashamed of his party.-P'r-

aRender Unto Cesar the Things That
are CRsdr's"

The only vice which is practicable at all
times and in any place is envy. 1t Is the
only vice which can lay quiet for want OF
irritation, therefore It's effects are every
where disgoyerable and its practice always
TO be dreaded. It is impossible to mention
a name which any advantageous distinction
has made eminent but some latent animosi-
" bursts forth to revile or Islander it. This
vice, envy, finds life aud growth aud becomes
more fully developed in political life, than
in any other. and politics will never want
for those in its ranks who continually find
sinister and selfish motives in the acts OF
the man whose sagacity and ability has
extrieated his party from the perils Of de-
feat that perchance these enviOus and chron-
ic croakers have led il into. These croak
ers can see no good in any man they cannot
use. and in no measure in which they are
not the principal movers. They feel great
pain when the applause of the country IS
accorded 10 men like Senator German.
The frequency Of these attacks upon the
motives of Senator German were couched
in such subtle language that they escaped
notice: their turpitude, malignity and bad
influence men never stopped TO reflect upon
until they happened TO feel the influence OF
IL themselves.
No man in public life has given less prov
ocation for the malignant attacks made upon
hi, public and private character than has
Senator German; and no man has been
truer to party principles aud public good,
and vet no man has suffered more from the
envy of those in bis own party. Did these
enyious ISLANDERS effect Germans influence
in his party and with the people? Yes, for
a time they did mislead the public mind
but when it discovered that these ISLANDERS
emanated from the envy aud Jealousy Of
men in his own party who had not the cour-
age to dare nor the ability to do what Cor
man has done for the Democratic party and
the country's welfare, the people whose
ewes had been blinded by SANDER, arose in
their honesty and accorded justice to him
and the stones OF malice and hate hurled
against him in the past have all been gath.
cred and now serve TO make the pedestal Of
honor and love upon which he stands in the
hearts of all men who love free speech and
free government. Let's have more Germans
in politics and we will have fewer men like
Hoar and his compatriots in public Office
to harry and disturb the quiet and peace o
the country aud outrage public decency.
