He Voted as He Shot.

The eagle-tipped mace, the symbol of the
authority of the house, was taken from it's
malachite pedestal for the first time in the
Fifty-second congress the other day, saws
the New York Sun. 1t was carried up the
aisle for the purpose of subduinq the excited
and obstreperous Mr.. Picker, of South Da.
kota, the first republican, to rebel against the
authority of Speaker Crisp and tho house.
Mr.. Picker is a tierce-looking and IL warliko
talking man, but he Lecame quiet as alamb
after the eagle had threatened to claw him.
1t is not improbable that when the PENDING
rules are finally adopted and put in force
the mace will be Il familiar object on the
republican side of the house.
"Ill vote as l shot, Kissed Mr.. Picker
as he unwillin2ly subsidized into his sent. in
obedience to the potent argument of ser.
geant-at arms and mace.
The remark drew forth the quick re-
aponse from Col. John Farsney, of Mia.
souri,: THAT is so. You shot under orders
and you'll vote in the same way.''
