Straws show which way the wind
blows, at least so says the old adj
age. The straw of voluntarily in
creased wages, by several Of the
leading manufacturers of the coun-
try, shows that the wind Of i'm
provement is setting quite steadily
in the direction OF our great indus
tries. This gentle zephyr will soon
increase to a steady blow that will
watt the labor bark swiftly over
the seas OF returned prosperity.

1t is not the province Of the

of it's people to adjust the relations
that exist between Cuba and

the good offices Of the United

between these parties that seem
to be married without their mutual

The other day as wedding guests were
leaving the old South church a motor
man left his car to pick up a horseshoe.
For luck? Not at all, but because it lay
directly Oh the rail ahead, and in the in
terest of passengers and possibly rolling
stock he gathered it not over tenderly
and gave it fling SO that it fell almost
at the feet of three ladies, one Of whom
was about to pick it up, when n practi-
cal member of the trio said: Don't soil
your gloves, and never mind if there are
three nails i'll it. 1t was not you who
found it, but the motorman, and he has
flung it away, good luck and all" The
citizen passed the spot three minutes
later, and no trace Of the horseshoe was
found. Why? Because Beacon street
girls escort captured it and carried il
off on his canc Boston Post.

William Doyle and Peter Hedling

regarding their conduct Of the even

character in the police court.
although he never committed q
crime, but it makes little difference
as to the frequency of his being
called upon to make explanations
he is always ready to string up the
court with an extended piece Of
shennanegan. 1t was the result OF
his old failing-too much common. -"
William keeps away from the FROST

but his thoughts wandered. back to
the glorious times OF other days
when he had had a few beneath
his belt, and he fell back into
his unfortunate path. Yesterday
William felt his oats and in the
evening Officer Simmons gathered
him in. The squire taxed him s.

Peter Hedley has the same disease
as William, and he got on one of his

THE REPUBLICANS AT WORK.
Benton's Picture Taken Down in Represent
alive Hall-It Wa Ordered
Placed Back Later.

Quite a sensation was created in
Jefferson City a day or SO ago on &C
count of Benton's picture having
been taken down from Representa-
tive Hall and General Lyons put
in the place it formerly occupied.
Speaker Russell, the Republican
speaker of the Republican House,
denied that he gave orders to have
Benton's picture removed. The
Jefferson City correspondent to the
st. Louis Republic, referring to this
matter, writes:
"Mr. Ewing came to me-" said
the Speaker, land informed me that
the only place where GeneralLyon's
picture could be suspended was be-
hind the Speakers chair. l thought
he meant to suspend the pictures
side by side. Later we paced the
distance together and found it was
not enough to admit the hanging of
both pictures. When DR.. Pettiiohn
informed me that Benton'a picture
was being removed, 1 at once had
the work stopped"
Custodian Ewing's version is very
different:
"Mr. Moore of Stone, who was
chairman OF the committee to see
that Lyons picture was restored,
came to me this afternoon" said
Ewing, land explained that he
wanted the picture hung. | exam
ined the hall and found that the pic
ture was too large and too heavy to
be placed anywhere except behind
the Speakers chair, and to do this,
Benton's picture would have to be
removed. so informed theSpeaker
and he gave instructions"
All the controversy yer the hang
ing of General Lyons picture arose
the resolution by Moore of
Stone, reciting that loyal men were
now in control of the lower branch
of the Legislature, and that the pic.
ture be taken from the armory and
restored to its proper place, with
face outward from the wall"
For Moore's buncombe resolution
was substituted one without any
buncombe in it, which was unsni-
mously adopted.

this country at least 500, 900 per
year; the other steal was a bill to
establish a public library in Wash
ington City, in addition to the new
Congressional library which has cost
the people nearly 81, 100000. This
steal for BILE additional library for
the Washingtonians would have cost
the tax payers of the entire country
several million dollars of their
money. The big Congressman from
our district had the honor of killing
both Of these big steals. He talked
them to death. In both cases he was
speaking against time-and this fact
| should be borne in mind in reading
his speeches on these two bills.
They were made to kill the bills by
killing time, and he succeeded most
I admirably in the work he undertook.
For killing these bills Champ Clark
is both hated and dreaded by every
boodler, lobster and ringster in
Washington, and for that reason bis
constituents admire him more than
I ever.

An Extra SessiOn.

rIou tut Cluclnnatl enquirer,
There is an interesting variety Of
views as to what the effect on politics
and parties would be of calling the
Fiity-fourth Congress in extraordi'
nary session.
On the one hand it is assumed
that the new Congress would not
only refuse to come to an agreement
with the President on the manage,
ment of the finances, but would pre-.
sent for his signature, a lot of legis-
lation on other subjects that would
make him wish that his holding oil
the Presidential office was an un.
pleasant dream, from which be
hoped to be aroused.
The new Congress might take
steps for the annexation of the Ha-
waiian Islands, repeal the income
tax, pile up the tariff, pass a. force
bill, and do sundry other things per-
verse and more or less wicked.
The fun, however, might not all
be on one side. 1t might be a good
thing for the Democrats, for the Re.
publicans to have an opportunity to
cavort through a session of Congress
when the opportunities for mistakes
would be flying through the air.
Congress is a two-edged sword.
