A CANADIANS PROTEST.
He Does Not Think French sCanucks''

NEW YORK, Dec. 2i.-An Evening Post
dispatch from Montreal says: Caliste Le-
boeuf publishes an article i'm the French
papers protesting against contributions TO
the Sir John Thompson fund on the part of
French Canadians. He says that 1t Is fool
ish to expect French Canadians, who are
50 poor that they cannot place Mausinere

ument to Chenier, TO give their last few
cents to the widow of a man who did moth

contractors, combines. sugar refiners those
who grew rich out of the Quebec harbor

works. and were protected by Sir John, sub

was a respectable man, adds Leboeuf. his
policy was detestable. and he finally sur
rendered the religion and language of the
French Canadians into the hands of their
enemy Leboeuf proposes instead that )
subscription be taken up at once to buy
bread for the families of the three thousand
men who have recently been visiting the
City Hall. and whose despair might lead

SENATOR GEORGE.
The Mississippi Demagogue's AttemDt
To Prevent a Holiday Recess.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2f.-Even grave and
reverend Senators are sometimes guilty or
small things with the view OF catching the
public eve. Sometimes the smallness OF
their acts are apparent TO all save the su-
thor or originator. An illustration OF this
sort of demaeogy occurred in the Senate
saturday. Senator Cockrell, chairman OF
the appropriations committee, asked unani-
NOUS consent for the immediate considera-
ton of the House resolution providing for
holiday recess from Saturday until Jan. ..
Mr. Cockrell, who is an industrious public
servant, explained. which was patent to
every Senator. that nothing could be ac-
complished by refusing to adjourn for the
holidays. as there would not be a quorum
of either the Senate or the House in the
city. Senator George, 10 the surprise OF all
his colleagues, objected. A few moments
later Senator Manderson, after having con-
ferrad with Mr. George, moved 10 refer the
resolution to the appropriations committees
This opened the question OF a recess 20 de-
bate, whereas 1t was not debatabie under
Cockrslrs request Mr.. Manderson stated
that ne made this motion 10 enable hr.
George TO submit some remarks on the SUD
known TO be one of the LATEST members Of
that distinguished body. then proceeded TO
protest against holiday and other adjourn
ments His speech was calculated TO inn
nress his constituents with the conviction
that Mr.. George was one OF the hard-work-
ing sort: that he would give the dear peo-
pls a dollar and a halfs worth OF service
for every dollar drawn by him from tho
public treasury.
