1t was not a scene to arrest the at

brush of the artist or the pen of the
poet. 1t was only a little black girl
going out from under the roof which
mad Sheltered her merry, care-free,
contented life. Yet of all the black
and white tragedies which the war
had placed upon the stage of Southern

least they were intended to be white
hot and if they weren't they were like
the red-hot poker in the lions cage
painted that way. Unfortunately the
gavel came down nthe middle of it,
as debate was limited to five minutes.
On reconSidering maybe it was not in
the middle but along towards the first
fifteenth.
then the amendment was put to a
rising vote. All the democrats stood
up and Hepburn pointed the handle of
his gavel successfully at each man
while he counted him. AS the handle
passed on, the pointee sat down and
rebegan his gossip with his neighbors
There was nobody on the republican
side to be counted-this counting was
for the Affirmative. Then the demo-
Gratis sat down and the republicans
stood up in their turn to be enumerat-
ed. There were more of the latter

on one side of the head of the center

facea, white haired man whose whole
look justified his frs name this time.
| 1t doesn't always. Between the two
! teliers the members all passed in an
! irregular bunchy line; first the demo-
Gratis for the Affirmative and then the
| republicans for the negative. AS the
men went past Payne and Newlands
they kept on down the aisle or turned
back around in an eddy as seemed I'M
to them best. ALI wore the bored per-
functory look of men doing an unln-
teresting duty. The first vote had told
the tale and this was merely corrob-
| orative detail intended to add artistic
veriSimilitude as my friend the Mikado
says, likewise to kali time.
Fortunately Newlands did not ask
another and formal vote as he could
have done under the rules-the process
takes up over an hour-and the amend
ment stayed lost on this second vote
Then Fitzgerald of ooston arose in
the majesty of five foot eight and a
black cutaway suit and began about
the Boston tea party 125 years ago,
carrying his remarks down through the
rolling ages to the ten cent war tax
on tea. Fitzgerald is an aspiring man
although he doesn't look it and he was
very much in earnest. The goal of
his ambIuons at present is the mayor
atty of Boston and ne is trying to build
up reputation. 1t is impossible to
compress the history of 125 years into
five minutes and the gavel fell before
he had fairly warmed up. Fitzgerald
didn't approve of this, and he pro-
tested vigorously, but Hepburn was in
lexIoie. pounding the govel vigorously.
AS consolation prize. however, the
house allowed Fitzgerald to extend
his remarks in lie Record which
means that he can print what he said
and as much more as seems best unto
him. Then a New York man made i
speech of labored humor and ..wOke
sporadic applause. He apparently had
something on his mind, but the burden
of his song was only that spent tea
leaves were now too expensive to use
in sweeping floors.
After which the house killed the
amendment Fitzgerald bad offered

of his gracious withdrawal lass Sat

RIr. Enloe commended that fraud
WAS committed in the primary in

I'VE believe that he has just grounds
to these charges.
He has proof tosshow that the
nomination was taken from him
foar years ago by trickery, saiid
with manhood that aroused the
admiration Of Democrats all over
