declared that Butler had ridden them
into office. Moreover, they are report

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 16.-7GSpe-
cian-It is such an immense thing to
see Senator Sherman come over into
the House, that when he did so yester-
day. it occasioned not a little comment.
Some held to the theory that he was
attracted by the gymnastic oratory OF
Gibson. the pension crank from Ten
nessee. But the real cause was soon
discovered. One gentleman remarked
Butler has run him out of the Senate,
an there is nowhere else for him 10
go.'' The old fox from Ohio stayed
with the Junior Tar Heel Senator as
long as he could, which was not long,
and fed to the House. The remark
comes to me authenticated from three
Senators who were standing on the
floor, that he was getting to be a nui-
sance. The truth is the man Is simply
talking himself to death-if not HIM
self. certainly other folks. His speech
was a commonplace and Mosaic affair,
made up of Vests speech and the
speeches of Senator Stewart at diff
ferent times on silver and the bearing
of the present system of finance upon
Japanese manufacturing. He was so
trite that it was overgrown with sage

nervously in his chair while the report
was being read from the desk, and
looked at the Democrats as if to say,
"What a brave boy am II" But 1T is
somewhat significantthat this case
was taken mp out of it's regular order
for favorable report There were many
reasons why the seating OF Mcclellan
should be popular, among them being
the fame of his father, the Union Gen
eral, Now when the Democrats hear

its finishing touches to-day. The Pen

brush. Possibly the only thing in it
which will sound at all new to North
Carolinians. were the following utter
ances, which fit rather well with the
structures made few days ago in this
column upon the inconsistencies of
Senator Pritchard. Said Mr.. Butler:
~ man who claims to be for silver
and votes for a gold man for President
is the most valuable friend the gold
men can have. He betrays his people
in the interest of party success. !" y :
The test of every mans patriotism is
found in the question, Who will he sup
port for President? How can
q silver man vote for a gold man for
i'resident?"
Enough to say that Butler literally
almost emptied the Senate, even Skin
ner being forced to let go his hold and
leave before the performance was over.
1t is expected that Senator Daniel
will to-day or tomorrow address the
Senate on the Monroe Doctrine. Mr..
Daniel expects to get recognition as
soon as the Venezuelan resolution is
called up, and inasmuch as the elo-
quent Virginian has had this speech
in preparation ever since last summer,
1t is IN pSCttd 10 Df the great IOTeliS1c
masterpiece Of his life.
Inasmuch as the vote on the silver
amendments is expected to be so close,

Junior Senator, Martin, from Virginia
Senator Daniel admitted that he did
not know how Martin stood, and. Mar

Terry, of Arkansas, in connection with

text of the bill:
"All cigarettes transported into any
State or territory or remaining there
in for use, consumption, sale or store
age therein, shall, upon arrival in such
State or territory, be subject to the
operation and effect of the laws OF
such State in the same manner as II
such cigarettes had been produced in
such state and shall not be exempt by
reason of having been introduced III

duced by Wilson, of Washington,
