In the happy days of childhood we
were told by people who thought they
knew. that a joss was sort OF iIol
worshiped in heather countries. and
that our own favored land hadn't any.
with ripening experience, however,
this teaching has been disproved.
There Is a joss in Congress now. and he
has been there for some time. He is
now engaged in interpreting his huge
bulk between the rights Of the people
and their duties. Manifestly. they must
have their rights if they are 10 do their
duty. for the one is an instrument tor

are not allowed to talk about it.
The destruction of a ship of the
United States Navy, and the proof that
it was due to Spanish fiendishness, is
also before the country. and the MEM
beers Of the House. who read the news
napere. are fully aware Of it; but they
are not allowed 10 talk of hat either.
In years to come the members of the
House will look book upon last Win
teI's proceedings and wonder how in
the world they kept their tempers un-
der the policy of enforced inaction
which one huge. domineering, obstinate
person imposed on his fellow-members.
And they will only account for it by
the fact that this person is joss-a
thing set up in fear, to be pulled down

himself a ear. in a department of this

Of the Republican joss Of the House
does not move of its own accord, there
will be a topping over and a breaking

$50 on the wrong side of the ledger.
The young man was putting Park row

been given to the young editor, but he
told the old man that it was worth
about cents. ''This is downright ex-
