so.elal DLspdleh to he Intellt0eaef.
WAsnISGroN, D. O., Jan. 2O-It Mr..
Mills, of Texas, has at any time consid.
ared himself seriously in the race for the
Sueakerghip Of the next House, he has
certainly no idea Of that character now.
Tne exhibition OF temper which he dis
playcd on tho floor to-day has, in the
minds of all candid Democrats, disquali-
fed him from presiding over the House.
Bu, the temper shown by the gentle
man from Texas was not wide Of the av.
erppe spirit being displayed by ths Dem.
ocrs,s uow.a.days. They are determ.
ipsd to prevent legislation in the House
fiji some action is taken upon the EIec.
tion bill bv the Senate, ss they want to
hold the right OF way over the heads OF
the Republicans to prevent cousideTa.
lion Of the Election bill should 1t pass
the Senate.
rANDEMoSIUN LET LOOSE.
The scene for some minutes in the
House today was one of pandemonium
and should be disgrace to the leaders
Of il. The Democrats have been fight
inc 10 XIII time every day for more than
a week by antagoniEing the approval Of
the Journal each day, and when the
Sneaker ruled tue procedure out OF or.
ier Mr.. Mills BECAME frantic. Hewildly
saved The air and screamed epithets at
tLo ION ~ his voice. The Sergeant-at-
Arms was called upon to suppress him.
Some Of his followers gere also wild
with excitementa and covered themselves
with disgrace.
The proceedings showed to what des-
perate ends the Democrats are being
driven in their struggle to defeat tue
Election bill by means fair and foul, and
emphasized the necessity OF the adop.
ton OF such q measure.
II impressed the Republicans with the
fact that the shot.sun brigade fear the
effects OF the Election bill should 1t be-
come law.
THE CLoTURE RULE.
The sharp trick on the part OF the
Democrats again defeated Republican
aims in the Senate this Afternoon. The
Clotura resolution was taken up during
the morning hour and attwo o'clock Mr..
Aldrich, who has itin charge, attempted
to have the Election bsll laid aside for
the continuation Of the debate on the
resolution. Mr.. George. who had the
floor when the Senate adjourned yestar'
day, claimed the right 70 continue his
speech, and so the resolution went ov9r,
but !atcr in the afternoon was brought
up again. Itisthe purpose Of the DEM
ocratic Senators TO continue the debate
upon the Election bill TO the exclusion
Of the Cloture resolution, and by this
meaGs whipsaw both propositions. But
the Republicans will take the bit in
their months after a few more days Of
this kind Of work and will pass the
ClotuIe resolution. This done, the
Election bill can be brought to a vote
and legislation will proceed in a bust-
uess.like Way,

A Word for Decoration Day.

A word, sigh, a thought, q flower, for our
dead, our own noble dead. Peaceful be their
sleep and calm their days. And let the sun
light rays Ger those dear mounds tighten the
hue of sOmbre gowns worn at their fall Oh,
noble hearts to sacrifice both home and
hearth and all that makes life glad, respond
ing bravely at their cOuntry's need. Oh,
Patriotism! loud is thy call for valor, and not
in vain. Each heart beats warm for it's pro-
tecting flag, which floats and waves far FER
land and sea, enfOlding all with it's dear
stripes and stars of Liberty-all! ALL to leave
and follow thee; the plOw, the shop, all arti-
sans Of trade, fOrsaken gladly, making up the
thrOng that presses forward and ever for
ward to snatch thee from the despoilers' hand
and guard thy sacred power. Oh, valiant
husbands, brothers, sons, mingled with our
tears we gladly give you honor and long re-
membrance; proud are we your country
called you not in vain And happily, men
stand ever ready now, clad in FURNISHED steel,
a bright defence in menacing danger, their
good right arms ever uplifted to shield the
helpless and protect the innocent. Oh, grand
and liberal laws, the field is won and victory
ours for evermOre.
Land of the free, to thee
We sing of thy protecting power;
Yer grave and mound let bugle sound,
And gently lay a flower
Emblem of beauty! holy gift trans
planted from its bed to mother earth once
more, as sign and seal upon the silent breasts
of those not dead, but sleeping until the mar
tial trump on high shall bid them to their
feet once more to join the march of loyal
ones, through time and through eternity.
May ages to come still chant praises to those
valiant bearers" struggling through the
thickest of the fight: our colOrs to the front
where all might see, cheering them on when
faint and weary
Our loved, our dear old flag! No dust shall
soil, no hand drag down; still shall the breeze
of Heaven kiss thy folds and watt a sweet
promise to loyal hearts that "All is WELL.

LESSON SURROUNDINGS.

INTERVENING EvENTs.-The discus
sion ct Jerusalem did not remove the
hostility of the Jews. On the return
to Galiiee the Pharlsees attacked his
disciples for breaking the Sabbath.
John makes no mention Of the dalile-
an ministry. There is an interval OF q
year between chapters 5 and 6. The
events recorded most chronologically
in Ma k 2 % to s 21 /; 2 1922; 8
% to 6 20. Compare Matthew and
Luke, in parallel passages. The m
mediate occasion OF the withdrawal to
the other side of the sea was the need
of rest; the disciples having been sent
oat previously to preach, and now re-
turning. Herod had heard OF Jesus,
and thought he was John the Baptist
risen from the dead. Our Lords pop
ularity was now at its height.

details of the narratives oppose the ira

lake.
TIME.-Immedlately before the pass

frequently stated in these Lesson Sur
roundings. On any view, q year le-
fore the Passion. About the close of
March or beginning of April, A. U. @.

PERsoNs.-Our Lord, his disciples.
Philip and Andrew in particular, q
great multitude, "five thousand men,
besides women and children q lad
with five barley loaves and two fishes.
INCIDENTs.-The departure to the
other side Of the sea; the great multi
tude follows MARK tells that Jesus and
his disciples crossed by boat, but the
multitude went by land, round the
headof the lake,. Jesus goes up into
the mountain with his disciples. The
passover il mentioned, possibly to &C.
count for the size OF the crowl. Our
Lord asks Philip how they q provide
for them, proving him with the ques-
ton. Philip indicates how great would
be the cost, Andrew tells OF the lad
with his small store of provisions, but
asks. "What are these among 30
many?" Jesus bids them arrange the
people; sin ranks" according to the
other accounts. The green grass,
which is mentioned, is an incidental
mark of the time of year. The loaves
are distributed. No mention is made
here of breaking them, though this is
implied in what follows. Att,r the
