4 PTBLIC BENEFACTOR.

For various reasons we like the Hon. Will
lam NJ Sprjr ger. of Illinois. 1t Is unnecessary
to cnumerate them ALL but one OF them Is his
cheerfulness. The country isn't prosperous
inst now. and millions of citizens are clear up
to their chins in gloom; but MIR. Springer Is
not merely serene, but actually bllthe. More
over. it cannot be said that he has special
cause for Joy. The party that he loves Is in
great perplexity and feeling considerably
ashamed of itself. we understand. Not only
that but Mr. Springer though he won't con-
fcss it, isn't half as sure of being chairman OF
WAYS and Means as he would like to be.
lie knows that villains are pursuing him and
that the chances are he will be overtaken.
But he is just as buoyant as II he were dong
the chasing.
We have taken note of several cheerful ut
terances of the gentleman from Illinois during
the last few days, but the one which lmmedl-
ately suggested this heartfelt eulogy is his
declaration that the extra session will not last
longer than week or ten days at the out
side. If that isn't merry prediction we know
nothing about the sources of mirth Distln-
guished prophets have been telling us that that
Congress would sit for year, and perhaps they
are right. The accuracy of Mr.. Springer S
forecast isn't what we are talking about. IT it
doesn't come within twelve months OF beng
verified it will nevertheless be gratefully re-
membered At such time as this the man
who saws that Congress will save the country
and adjourn in week or ten days is public
benefactor. no matter what happens to the
demonstration.
