Hon. Jacob IL Gallinger, senator of
the United States from New Hampshire
Republican. Of course-was beirs
prosecuted on charges preferred by Gov
ernor Charles H Busiel-another Re-
publican-for violating the civil service
lawsl Oh, heaveni Think Of that, my
countrymeni A Republican New Eng
land senator in hook for violating civil
service laws when New England in
general, and Republican New England
in particular. has not yet LET up poor
old Andrew jackson for being a ''spoils-
man. They consider the awful tanning
he gave the British at New Orleans a /
small credit on his account, when on
the debit side is recorded the fact that
he bounced a few score or few hum
bred New England federal o~ficeholders
because they were anti7JacEAon men
If jackson had thrashed all Europe conn
bined, it would not have atoned in the
eyes Of Republican New England for
beheading offensive Federalists. Now
comes Senator GaIlinger and shocks
rudely shochs-New England conscience
and wickedly jars New England ego
ism by ~cavorting round in such an nm
cody and Andrew jackson that
the governor Of New Hampshire yanks
him mp to answer for his sins Of com
mission. That bad enough, but in the
words Of a popular hymn. s'Yet there's
more to follow"-not only more, but
worse, for the Associated Press informs
Us that during the hearing of the
charges against Senator Gallingsr he
and his colleague in the United States
senate. Hon. William Z. Chandler,
NEARLY came to blows, and a fight was
prevented only by the interference Of
friends. What a wise and fortunate
thing those friends did by interferingi
How could we southern and western IL
literates and rufiians have endured our
country's shame had these two illus
trious and venerable and aesthetic New
Hampshire senators actually pulled each
others wool, FLOODED each others pro-
boscides, torn each others clothes, pun
meled each others c~ountenances, gouged
each others eyes and got their pictures
in The Police Gazettef
Near 10 Fistfcuns.
The Press dispatches continue: "Sen-
ator Gallinger, trembling with rage,
dared Senator Chandler to repeat the
statement ontside the room. Chandler,
ever quick to resent an insult, advanced
toward Senator GaIIinger with clinched
fists. Gallinger was equally aggressive.
and, just as blows were about to be ex-
changed. each Of the senators was
caught by friends, and then ensued a
struggle to prevent them from coming
together in a fist fight" Could any
thing be more astounding or more-de-
l~ieiousf What sense is there in Tom
O'Rourke securing al creation to find
bruisers who viii draw a paying house
in a prizefight when here are two sen
ators Of the United States from New
Hampshire struggling to punch each
others nosesf Tom should at once
eschew James J. Jefries, james J.. Cor
belt, Thomas Sharkey, Robert Ftzsim-
mons, Peter Maher. Kid Mccoy, George
Dixon and all the rest of the common
pugs and at once add to his stable Of
fighters these illustrious conscript IA
theirs from New Hampshire. They
would draw such a house as was never
seen OF heard off at ringside since the
pugilissic art wa first invented The
bard Of Avon says:
There is = tide in the Affairs Of men
Which, taken ct the feed, leads on to fortune.
Such a tide now comes TO Tom
O'Rourke in the chance to exhibit two
senators of the United States in the
squared circle. II he Is such an ass as
to neglect this golden opportunity for
wealth beyond the dreams Of avarice, I
shall shed no tears if he dies in the
poorhouse.
In this great mill ] advise both SEN
ator Chandler and Senator Gallinger TO
solicit the prayers Of that other illus
trious New Highlander, John L sulli-
van.
AIeer Forced Ont.
At last after sore travail President
Mckinley is about to rid himself Of Mr..
Secretary OF War General Russell A.
Alger. Now. II he could get up nerve
enough Il hire somebody to kidnap
Marcus A. Hanna. the president would
deserve the hearty congratulations Of
the American people. most Of whom
wish him well individually.
II appears from the press dispatches
that General Alger was not forced out
Of his fat and responsible Office on &C
count Of the wretched and s~candalous
manner in which the war department
has been conducted. but because he
formed 3 political alliance, offensive and
defensive with Governor Hazen S. Pin
gree. who like Collins celebrated ram,

persona non grata to the powers that be-
So poor Aiger shares the fate Of Old

in what the administration considers
bad company. ! wonder II be ever read
Byron's lines on sweetness. in which
the noble lord declares inter ala,
Sweet Is revenge" If General Alger
should take it into his pate 70 even up
things with the administration and
should pass the hat around as success
fully for Pingree as be did for McKin-
leg, he might make 3 formidable presi-

what a woeful plight it would put poor
