plantation near Smcdes to see the
monkeys at their work. | must admit
that it was glorious sight to see. and
one that did my heart great good. The
rows were filed with monkeys, each
one with her little cotton sack around
her neck, picking away quietly and
orderly, and without any rush or con-
fusion. When they got their sacks
full they would run to the end Of the
row, where man was stationed to
empty them into the cotton basket,
when they would hurry back to their
work. The monkeys seemed to ac.u-
ally enjoy picking.

Mr.. Mangum, and we had long talk

Tracy suggested to me the training Of
monkeys as cotton pickcrs as the most
fortunate day the South has seen in
many years. 1t means more to the
South than a cotton picking machine,
for the monkeys are success as pick

the questions propOundcd to him by Mr..
Moss. He was brief and direct, ard
took advantage of the many opportuni-
ties offered him To- retort in manner
that evoked applause many times from
those gathered in the committee room.
Mr.. Croker gave events somewhat
dramatic turn, when after refusing to
answer several questions concerning his
private affairs, he held up his right hand
and said 'impressively:
IF you can show me where | have
taken single dollar from this city, you
can cut that arm off.
When the Tammany chief went on
the stand at the beginning of the days
session, Mr.. Moss conducted line of
questioning which ~ r. Croker evidently
believed waSa loss of time, for he sud
denly leaned forward and said;

everybody knows There is no use of
playing to the gallery; there is no use
making speeches. | am the leader of

Mr.. Moss said he would accommodate
him, and he endeavored to do so. He
drew from Mr.. Croker the fact that the
I Tanmany chief believed that all .the
offices of administration of all depart
ments should go to the victorious p0liti-
cal party.
ITO the victors belong the spoils," he
added.
Continuing Mr.. Croker said that when
the Democrats placed men in office, the
party expected to have those men do
what the leaders of the party asked
them to do. He himself had recon-
mended the appointment of various Off
cials and the distribution of patronage.
Not in every case. however, he said, had
his wishes been carried out. He adj
mitted nevertheless, that he had con-
siderable amount of political influence.
\ matter that Mr., Moss gave atten-
| ton TO was Mr.. Croker's connection

MAIDEN SPEECHES.

Representative H. K. Toney and Creed Caldwell made their maiden speeches and introduced themselves to the House last Tuesday. It was upon the discussion of the resolution memoralizing the war department to muster the Second Arkansas regiment out of service. Hon. H. K. Toney opposed the resolution and the Hon. Creed Caldwell fav- ored it. The Gazette makes the fol- lowi5g mention of the efforts of Jeff erson's two young Representatives:
 "Mr. Toney registered his protest against the resolution. and did it in a ringing speech. He deprecated any shirking of duty on the part of Arkansas military quota.
 "Mr. Caldwell, of Jefferson, said the young Arkansans enlisted under tLe belief that they would fight the Spaniards. not the Filipinos. He understood the war with Spain had closed. There was, in his judgment no justification for keeping the sons of Arkansas longer in the field. The struggling Cubans had been freed, and he saw no reason why the Ar kansas boys should be made to dc police duty. MT Caldwell mad, one of the best speeches of the morn ingi avor of tke resolution"
