pose an entire volume on the same
lines as he got up his celebrated lines
to the rose, a volume which would
most assurcdly fill a long felt want.
Now, Thurston is not to be sneezed
at. He Is too distinguished citizen
| to be permitted TO commir treason
without punishment, Tor in addition to
| being q senator Of the United States
and. strange to say, Eot desiring re-
election. he has been the president Of
two national Republican conventions
and is Republican belIwether gen
orally.
In addition to these illustrious sen
ators ana statesmen there is the Hon.
Billy Mason of Chicago. who 81 >
out his treason as huentIy as Sir jon
Falstaff babbled of green fields. 1t is
absolutely necessary if the admins
tration wants any peace Of mind that a
gag be put in Senator Mason's mouth
or paddock on his lips. for after the
manner of Tennysons brook the flow
of his eopperhead and unpatriotic ut
terances goes on forever. 1t is awful
to think of his ambro ial locks being
sheared off preparatory to confinement
in vile dungeon, but l suppose that
1t will have TO be done. as he is too
dangerous citizen to let run at large.
J. c. Burrows High Treason.
| see that another of my old con-
freres in the house, now senator. has
also been committing high treason and

Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan.
| think the weather has affected Ju-
lius Caesars head he is afflicted with
sort of midsummer madness. He is
an out and out Republic H. For the
last 80 years he has drawn pay al
most constantly as a Republican Off
cial. Ordinarily he is the most eau
tious of mortals -suaviter in modo,
fortiter in re, particularly suaviter
Generally be is tuneful as a Tyre. His
voice is as sweet as an aeolian harp.
He takes things by the smooth handle
as rule. He is as ambitious as the
mighty man for whom ne is named.
He has never lost hope of one day sit
ting in the White House himself He
is as polite as Lord Chesterfield In
the matter of dress he is a sort of SEN
atorial Beau BrummeL Nevertheless,
when he fights, he fights. 1t is less
than a year since he fought and CON
quered the Pingree combination in
Michigan. Senator Burrows always

iitical skies. 1t must have been an
overp0wering sense of duty which
caused this man, who is cool as a Gu
cumber, to raise his voice against the
Philippine policy of the administra-
tion. If he did not believe the adj
ministration were on its last legs, he
would be the last man in the country
to open his head about it, but as much
as | value the senator | submit to the
administration that it owes it to itself
to sock the gaffs into the distinguished
Michigander. In n recent interview
he used this astounding language:
Washington, July 2o-.It is my judgment. y
said Senator Burrows OF Michigan this evening"
s'that if the war in the Philippines is stin in
progress next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation viii be to the disadvantage Of
1 the Republican party. The only hope for the
party and the country, I might add, is in a
speedy change OF conditions in the Philippines.
''Unless the war in the Philippines speedily
ends" he said, cit viii become an important
political factor, and its continuance viii make
the outlook for Republican success uncertain to
