in line with the Chicago declaration
and even more radical:
That congress has no power to charter ma

tion one Of deadly hostility to the best inter-
ests Of this country. dangerous to our repub-

pie. and calculated to place the business of the

money power and above the laws and will Of

A decided sensation has been created
in Vienna by a man who probably stands
alone in the world in his particular line
Of performance. This gentleman's name
is Piskslug. and he is an Austro-Hun-
garian by birth. He Is an expert, or,
rather, a phenomenal artist, in the use
Of the whip.
The first thing he does is to take a
long dashed, stout handled whip in each
hand, and, with orchestral accompani-
ment, proceed to crack OF snap them at
a terrific rate The sound made by his
whips in this manner is graduated from
a noise like rife report to the soft click

Of music and serves to show how he
can regulate the force Of each stroke.
More interest. however. is evinced
when he seizes a vicious looking whip
with an abnormally long lash 1t is pro
vided with a very heavy handle Of medi-
um length. This is his favorite toy, and
what he can do with IL is really won

a calf or sheep skin, is brought on the

he actually pulls piece right out from
