science which We find both interesting
and intricate, namely, "How to get rid
of bores without hurting their feel

none is more welcome than the Balti-

it in political sense, its bright and
aggressive editorials cannot but claim
attention. It's news columns are filled
with matter that does not partake of

suddenness of his fall and the vanity
of ambition he was informed that the
man he hates above all others-Hon.
w. r. Morrison-had been endorsed by
the entire Illinois delegation, himself
excepted, for seat in Mr.. Cleveland's
cabinet. Now you know why Springer
is the maddest man in Congress. He

representative Springer, of Illinois,
is usually what might be called mild
hammered sort of man, but his ire
can be aroused; in fact it has been
aroused and he is now as angry a fell
low as any one would cara to see. He
has been ''skunked" in the game of
politics, and he believes that "cold
de6k,' was used against him. Spring
er is ambitious-those who do not ad-
admire him say far beyond his abilities.
Be that as it may, everybody in Con-
gress knows that Springer is ambitious.
1t will not be forgotten that he was a
candidate before the Democratic eau
Gus of the present House for Speaker,
and that at an opportune moment he
threw the few votes he controlled to
Crisp, and the result was Crisp's nom
ination and election. Another result
that Crisp was so grateful that he
made Springer chairman of what is al
ways, when in competent hands, the
most prominent as well as important
committee of the House-Ways and
Means-notwithstanding earnest pro-
tests against such action from Demo
Gratis who had years ago sized up
Springer's brain power.

When Speaker Crisp returned from

the President-elect, with the Cleveland
trademark stamped all over him,
things began TO get so slippery under
Mr.. Springer's feet that he began to
wonder why some inventive genius had
never put political ice-creeIers on the
market, and even while he was wildly
waving his arms in an attempt 10 keep
his balance both feet went out from
under him, and he saw it written
among the Stars that his scalp had been
demanded by Mr.. Cleveland and prom
ised by Mr.. Crisp, and then he fully
rea liZed that the tariff bill to be pre-
pared-perhaps approved" is the pro-
per word; it certainly will be if it turns

from his committee and passed by the

was not plain to him, for he recently
announced himself as favoring the

that may be-and was instrumental in
securing pledges from Democratic
