A Washington paper has been study
ing the list of newly-elected Congress
men and has this to say about it:
"From over in Maryland comes DR..
Booze, and, while there may be no sig
niicance whatever in this close conjunc-
ton, the name Of the representative in
the very next district is Mudd. Mary
land also sends Barber and Baker to
the next House. A Cooke is found in
the Illinois delegation, a Gardener in
New Jersey, a Plowman in Alabama, a
Cowherd in Missouri. Bishop in Michi-
gan, Brewer in Ohio, two Coopers,
one from Texas and the other from Wis
consin; two Taylors, one from Ohio and
the other from Alabama; four Smiths.
two from Michigan and one each from
Illinois and Arizona. A Miller comes
from West Virginia, but Illinois furnish
es Mills. Illinois also has Hunter;
New Jersey and North Carolina each
Fowler. But Pennsylvania contributes
Robbins.
"The little New England State Of
Rhode Island sends a Bull, Virginia
Lamb, North Carolina a Martin, Missis-
sippi a Fox, Missouri a Cooney, and
Ohio Kerr, while a Skinner comes
from North Carolina, and a Packer from
Pennsylvania. There is Fischer in the
New York delegation, but the only thing
for him to catch is Sauerherring of Wis
consin. Fruit, too. is scarce. there be-
ing only one Berry, from Kentucky.
Congress is large body in itself, but
it has only Foote in New York and a
Tongue in Oregon. A whole Mann Is
in Illinois, however, and there is another
Handy in Delaware. There is a Moody
in Massachusetts, Minor in Wisconsin,
and Young in Virginia and Pennsylva.
MIA. and, above all, Bland in Missouri
New York appropriates to itself all the
Payne, North Carolina all the Love, and
Missouri all the Joy. Utah is represent
ed by King, Illinois by Prince, and
the people of Iowa by their Cousins.
''rhe silver Moon from the Tennessee
mountains looks down peacefully upon
Hill in Connecticut, Marsh in Illinois,
near which is planted Cannon that has
seen much service. Flood in Virginia,
Beach in Ohio, an Eddy in Minnesota, \
Strait in South Carolina, and Hull of
long standing in Iowa, while 1t sheds
bright Ray upon the State of New York.
"Color lines are not sharply drawn, for
there are only Browns in Ohio and
North Carolina, White in the latter State,
and both White and Jet in Illinois.
"a Bell from Colorado may ring loudly
in California and Sweet and Low in New
York. Pennsylvania sends two fne-look-
ing Stones. both of whom have been here
before, while Vermont, which has such
an abundance of fine marble, sends only
Grout. Three good Walkers will be in
the next House, one from Massachusetts
and two from Virginia. to say nothing
of Strobe from Nebraska. The Little
man from Arkansas may offset Grow IN
Pennsylvania.
"Messrs. Robb, Steele and Gamble
would hardly be success as a firm in
any other business than bank breaking
or train wrecking in either Missouri, In
diana or South Dakota. Should they
decide to divide their Gaines in Tennes-
see they might Settle in Kentucky, or
possibly in North Carolina, after Sharp
contest. Should any of the members Of
Congress desire to indulge in the national
game they may use the Ball, which will
be sent here by Texas. Illinois will be
sure to make safe Hitt.''
