POEMS WORTH READING.
When Casey slugged the Ball.
(Nat Wris'ht.)

tNdl w rlSIl.p
Oh you adj have heard of Midwife,
Heard of mighty Casey. too:
OF the groans amid the bleachers
As the ball thrice past him flew;
Bat you haven't heard the story,
The best story OF them ALL
OF the day in happy Midwife.
When great Casey slugged the ball.
Twas the day they played the Giants.
And the score stood ten to eight,
Two men were ON the bases.
And great Casey at the plate.
''Swipe her. Casey. yelled the rooters,
And the hero doffed his cap;
Three to win and two to tie,
And Casey at the bat.
Mid hush of expectation
Now the bah flies past his head;
Great Casey grins a sickly grin;
Strike one. the umpire said.
Again the pitcher raised his arm.
Again the horse flew;
Great Casey spat upon the ground,
And the umpire said, Strike two
ITS a roast came from the grandstand
He is bought without doubt
He is rOtter.' roared the bleacherS,
Throw the daylight robber out.'
I'll break yer face says Casey,
THAT wan wint below me knee:
IF l miss the mkt We blackguard
Ye won't live long to see.
The next one came like lightning.
And the umpire held his breath.
For well he knew if Casey missed.
'Twould surely mean his death;
But Casey swung to meet It.
Backed by all his nerve and gall
Oh. If you had but heard the yell.
As Casey smashed the ball,
He caught the pigskin on the nose,
1t cleared The big town lot,
Ii sailed above the hlgh cnurch tower,
In vain the feeders sought:
And Casey didn't even run
He stopped awhile TO talk.
And then amid the deafening cheers
He came round in a walk.
And now he keeps a beer saloon.
He is mayor of the town.
The people flock 10 see him.
From all the country round:
And you need not look for Midwife
On the map upon the wall;
Because the towns called Caseyyille
Since Casey slugged the ball.

The sentiment of the country seems TO
be Overwhelmingly against Mr.. Roberts.
and the outcome has never been in much
doubt. There is no question about his
election credentials, and the fair thing
would have been to allow Mr.. Roberts to
take the oath and his seat. after which
an investigation might have been made
and fair trial had; if he was found
guilty of crime and not eligible to hold
his seat, he could then have been ex-

prove of the action taken by congress
in refusing to allow the congressman
elect from Utah 10 take the oath of
office? 1t applauds the declaration of
Iliff. Schroeder ct al. to the effect that

dorsement of polygamy and that men

QUAY'S RIGHTS IN THE SENATE

1t begins to look as if Senator Quay
would be seated. Precedents seem to
count for little in these fin de cycle
days. If they did Quay's application
Tor membership would be rejected.
When Governor Stone first appointed
the notorious Pennsylvania corruption-
list there was an almost universal re-
monstrenee from Republican news
papers. But Quay has two or three
things in his favor He controls the
Republican party in the keystone state
and the administration will therefore
do whatever he expects it to do in his
interest. He has many personal friends
on the minority side who. although
they know the viciousness of his meth
DDS. are nevertheless drawn to him by
reason of his pleasant and obliging dis
position. But Hanna has issued the
ukase that Quay is to be seated and
this makes it foregone conclusion.
The Republican press of the country
has been falling into line ever since
the great commanders voice was
heard
If the senate concludes to admit Mr.
Quay ii Will be a violation of recently
established precedents and will prove
that our legislators care more for poll
tics than they co for the law and the
constitution. While the senate has al
ways taken a very liberal view of the
rights of appointees to fill vacancies.
it has always. according to the showing
made i'll the Corbett case. conceded that
there was no power conferred on
IN, h.
presented and the rule has been uni
form against the admission of an APP
pointee after a legislature had failed
to act.
In the case of Senator Bell of New
Hampshire, passed upon thirty years
ago, which has been cited by Mr..
Qrays friends. it appears that his adj
mission was based upon the showing
that there had been no intervening ses-
sion OF the legislature that had any
power to act, between the times the
vacancy occurred and the appointment
was made by the governor.
The statement OF facts submitted in
this case by Senators Hoar. Cameron
and ingalls,. in their minority report,
was as follows:
BY the statute Of the United States,
approved July .. 1866 re-enacted revised
statutes. Sii IL l. provided: The legis-
laturc Of each state. which is chosen
next preceding the expiration Of the
time for which any senator WAS elected
10 represent such state in congress. shall
on the second Tuesday after the meeting
and organization thereof proceed TO eject
4 senator in congress-.
Under the rev constitution of New
Hampshire a legislature was chosen in
November. 1878. for a term to begin in
June. 1879. That legislature cannot elect
a senator until June. 1873. because. by the
constitution of the state. its legislative
power will not vest until then. Its pre-
decessor could moi elect senator at its
last session. and cannot now, IL called
together in special session. because il was
not the legislature last chosen before the
expiration Of Mr.. Wadleighs term

The fact that congress refused TO allow

of 302 to 90. shows how that body views
the matter. That petitions signed by over
100000 people were presented asking that
he be refused seat shows what the
American people think of it. The inves-
