This state of affairs 10 reported to have
been brought about by correspondence
by Western silver senator's. 1t is said
that at the time the force bill was be-

their Southern friends and resisted to
the bitter end all efforts to whip them

force bill, and that obligations were
consequently then incurred which have
since benefited the Republican senators

No one who knows what the drawing

dispute that study from the nude is the
only way in which adequate knowledge
and skill, both In observation and execu-
