be a tie Then speaker Crafts, Democrat,
voted for the motion and ignored Repub-

vote in favor of the bill, when be an
nounced that the vote had been closed.
Then the House became q bedlam OF
shrieking, blaspheming and hurrahing
men. while Crafts coolly declared the
$750, 600 amendment had been adcpted. rs
yeas to 73 nays. In the face Of terrific
storm of protests, the speaker would listen
only to motion to adjourn and calmly
declared the motion carried.
The members were now yelling and run
ming about like so many Comanches. Half
dozen made rush for the speaker to
drag the Car as they called him, from
the chair, but was forcibly held.back by
their seconds. More than one legislator
reached for his revolver, and riot seemed

ary appearance of superiority, can
never be very grateful. even when it is
most necessary or most judicious. Ad-
vice is offensive, not because it lays us
open to unexpected regret, or convicts

notice, out because it shows us that we
are known to others as well us to our

secuted with hatred, not because his
accusation is false, but because he
