There is a young man, not a resident
of this State, staying in this village,
who is proud of his powers as a de-
batter. His only qualifications are
.wagging tongue and an unlimited sup
ply of gall Of a deep green variety.
The other night he ran his mouth on
tariff and finance until everyone was
disguised and ended by insulting an
honored guest of the village. He was
finally squelched and conversation
ran in more agreeable ruts for a few
minutes. During this time listener
innocently asked who was the repre-
sentative Of congress from the fresh
young mans district The question
was accidental but it was an instru-
ment of a merited rebuke for the f.y:.-..

had made political economy a life

that he didn't know. OF course the
crowd laughed, forit showed that the,
