The Gentlemanly Ex.Consul.

Our Populst friend, Ed Little, in a
speech the other day referred to Sec
retary Carlisle as ga drunken scoun-
drel who is not fit to associate in good
society," He also ventures the opin-
ion with frequent frankness that Sen
ator Sherman is San old fool" and an
"ignoramus." These very courteous
and gentlemenly references to men
who have been high in the honor Of
nation for many years is Of course the
thing for Mr.. Little to say. He has
been so close to the government SO
long and his counsel has been sought
by the nation in such weighty affairs
that it is not to be expected that he
will do otherwise than look down up
on such such common people as SEN
ators and members of the cabinet
Carlisle and Sherman should be duly
impressed with the opinions Of Mr..
Little and Bill Decker and resign at
once.
