The Boston Journal admires Senator

passage in his speech which is com
PEELED to describe as misleading to the
hasty reader, tawdry in form and ex-
travagant in application. 1t is the one
in which Senator Hoar assumes to call
the roll Of dead statesmen and patriots
and to attribute to each in turn an
answer to the question at issue. on
his own side he ranges Washington

LANDLORD AND TENANT.
West End Men Have d Slight Differ
 ence As to Making Repairs.

An actual illustration of the eXpres- sion frozen out was given Gn West Main street yesterday afternoon about 1 o'clock. The scene was the cobbling shop next door to Michael lgO'S saloon and the actors were IgO and F. w. Adams, the cohbler The shop is a part of the building occupied by the saloon and the whole is rented by lgo, who suD-rents the shop to Adams. For some time there appears to have been considerable contention between the cCbblCr and the saloon keeper over making certain repairs ill the shop, and it is also claimed that 1go saw the cob bier was making so much money he wished to rid the place of him and put in I friend. Whenever it rained, -Ad- ans claimed. 'he had to swim out. and when the wind was unusually cold he had to burn large quantities of coal to keep his blood warm. On the other hand it is claimed that it was to cool off this sam" blood that lgo refused to make the repairs asked for by his tenant. However, IgO was apparently obdurate and the cobbler Was equally so.
 How to rid the place of Adams. therefore. caused IgO many hours of serious meditation. Adams was will ing and ready 10 pay his rent. S1, as soon as Igo would make the repairs in question. therefore he could not pro cecd legally against him on that score. The months rent has been due for some time and on every occasion thH men would meet Adams would show the money to 1go and tell him it wou;d be his when the cold blasts and thH Wintry rains were shut out from his working domain.
 l. WAS pretty cold yesterday after noon. SD cold that tho cuhhler could not stay in lis shop. He demanded of lgo to know if he was going 10 mako tht, repairs and lgO told him he was not Nevertheless. the cobbler re- paired to his shop and helped out the coal trust some more. and was settling down to work when there was d crash about his ears as if tine whole Duill- ing was going away on the wings Of the wind. Crash after crash followed in quick succession. and with every crash d gale of wind wolnl enter upon the now shivering cobbler. At length when peace came and the cObDier deemed 1t prudent to move he looked around and saw that every light of glass in the shop was shattered. The shop has since been deserted by Ad- ans. He was actually frozen out.
 AIr Adams has retained Attorney Y. r. Lawlor to enter suit against lgo for $1,0 damages for trespasS and loss of business.
