God bless Mckinley, summoned by thy
voice,
America, to grasp the helm OF state.

MARCH THE FOURTH.


Good.Bye
Old Nick. the sly, went out one day
And called on Samuel by the way
To make him vince and howl;
Now Sam was daft. at least half mad,
And well disposed to choose the bad,
To croak and whine and growl.
They parleyed long and hobnobbed
Til Sam was of his reason robbed:
(Tars call II half seas over,,'D
Then Satan piled his meanest craft
And shot his longest, keenest shaft:
Come, Sam" said he. choose Grover"
Then Samuel did as he was bid
And acted like a silly kid.
With glitter in his eye;
The move was bad; the end was sad
Now, sobered Sam is mighty glad
To say. Go. fish: Goodbye

Washington d. c.. April THE
House was In session an hour to-day, in
which time 1t passed a joint resolution
appropr.ating 5000 900 for the relief of
food sufferers in the Mississippi Valley,
and enjoyed little sensation sprung by
Mr.. Simpson {Pep), Of Kansas. The re-
lief resolution was introduced by Mr..
CatchlnEs Dem.), OF Mississippi. anu
tRepO, of Massachusetts. and Mr.. Can
non (Rep.), Of Illinois, criticised the ap-
L<>priation, however, the latter hoping
that 1t was the last that would be neces-
sary because Of the failure Of the States
to put themselves into position where
they could constitut.onally take care OF
their own people. Mir. Walker gave no
tice that he would IN the future object
to the passage of any similar resolution,
believing 1t to be debasinE in its effects
upon the recipients.
THE SENSATION OF THE DAY
Mr.. Simpson Uop), or Kansas. FUR
nished the sensation OF the day by fol-
Loving the example of Mr.. Earle. OF

and protesting against the failure TO
appoint committees 10 proceed TO the
consideration OF lcgislat ative business III
the regular and orderly way. He spoke.
OF The power exercised by the Speaker
as autocratic ana described present con
litions as revolution ana anarchy.
Speaker Reed responded at some length,
stating tnat 1t was not the f1rSt time
this condition had cXis ted, Mr.. Blaine in
the Forty-sccond Congress having failed
TO appoint committees promptly at the
beginning of Congress. He had surpos
ed until to-day that there was unan-
nous concurrence Of opinion that public
business did not require the complete
organization of the House at this time.
He regretted that any member should
lend himself to The criticism made out
