AT the beginning of the present session
Congress adopted a resolution OF inquiry
to the Attorney General as 10 the status

done to enforce it, and il amendments were
needed to make il operative. Thus far
the inquiry might as well have been d.

attention to 1t is concerned. An Egyptian
mummy would nave been as communicative

for the good that might result. let the
inquiry be made again. and this time let

HE friends OF Representative Hulick
are having considerable fun at his
expenselsby reason OF the fact that
the mufEor went forth that he had
created a mild sensation at Conven tiou hall
by renewing his youth on pair OF skates
The Ohio Congressman is said MOTTO have
tackled pair of skates for about three
decades, but could not resist the tempta-
ton to again be boy. In making an
honest confession to his friends, Mr.
Hulick said that it was the most enjoyable
evening that he had spent for years. He
had scarcely attained perpendicular po-
sition until one foot went off at tan
gent and he other tried to balance itself
in the air. The motion was so violent
that the skates sprung an eccentric, but
an attendant brought some additionalst straps
and bound them to the feet with so much
security that there was no further trouble
along that line.
Notwithstanding his sixty-three years, Mr..
Hulck soon got his hand, or rather his
feet in. and gave very good exhibition
of old-time skating.

A PARAGRAPH referring TO the voiun-
A tary watch maintained by a colored
man over the Marquette statue has
J been construed by many as reference
TO Mr.. E. II. Hughes, the regular custodian
of Statuary Hall.
Such an impression is entirely erroneous.
Mr.. Hughes is employed TO guard all of the
statues and see that they are protected
from injury or vandalism, and consequently
gives no special preference to any one Of
them.
An unknown colored man. not in the
service OF the government, and presumably
representingsno one but himself, has almost
daily esta blished a guardianship over the
Marquette statue. But il is believed that
this man has acted upon his own response
bility and not at the instigation OF any
other person.

The plan which nominated
Mr.. Harrison was so bad
that it made his defeat Ger

plan is lots worse. and if ear
