Fighting For the House.
Two Washington dispatches in the
public press show what desperate
fight the Republican managers are
making to control the next house of
representatives One Is to the effect
that that palpitating and aspiring pa
triot, Colonel r. c. Kerens, member
Of the Republican national committee
from Missouri, has employed Colonel
w w. Dudley of blocks Of hve1
fame to organize the Republicans Of
Missouri. OF course this means that
every method known to the most cor
rupt politics is to be employed for the
purpose of debauching the Missouri
voters and electing one or more CON
gressmen from districts now represent
ed BY Democrats
The other dispatch of importance is
along the same line as this and Is to
the effect that the beloved Babeock of
Wisconsin. chairman Of the Republican
congressional campaign committee, has
agreed to put $1,000 Of Doodle into
each of the congressional districts of
Missouri. Now. Brother Babeoek Is
ike Major Joe Bagstock, SLY. sir dew

to be as willy as any fox, but If it is
true that he has promised TO send

corruption purposes, then a great CON
fidence game has been played on
Brother Babeock. The chances are
that instead Of the delegation standing
10 Democrats and Republicans in the
next congress, as in this. it viii be Il
Democrats and l Republican, a great
Improvement. But If It be trne that
they are seHding this money into Mis-
souri, it will demonstrate that they are
lighting with as much desperation for
the next house as they are fer the pres
idefley itself
Jua@r Griags of Georsta.
One Of the brightest, abIest and most
genial young men in the house oe
representatives is Judge ]. NJ. Griggs
OF Georgia Usually be is a man Of
great discretion and tact, but unless
the Baltimore Sun Is the greatest nar
in the country the Judge recently
stirred up a most ablebodied hornets
nest In delivering an address at Rome,
Ga, to the graduating class Of shorter
College For Young Ladies' Tor he
tackled the new woman and nru-
n0siEstesei q esI4ogs 4sr fne Old faShi9Hed
woman which It does the heart good
10 read, but which is liable to bring
down on the judges devoted head the
wrath Of every short haired woman IN
the land, and fear that my genial
friend viii not have as easy sailing IN
the contest which he has evoked as he
generally has in his debates with his
fellow congressman, where he is thor
oughly capable of holding his own
have no doubt that somehow he viii
be able TO come cut victor but he will
need to have all his wits about him.
No doubt the judge was Influenced by
patriotic and philanthropie motives.
His address as reported In The Sun Is
one Of the most brilliant that ever
read. It shines and glistens and
sparkles like the ocean in the morning
sunshine. But the trouble is. the more
it shone and the more II glistened and
sparkIed the madder his audience got,
for It was composed of young women
who want to belong to the new wom-
an class.
A Friendly Suggestion.
Here is bit of friendly advice for
the Democratic national committee.
While am neither the financial. spirit
ual nor legal adviser of that distin-
gnished body, | would like to Just
whisper one suggestion into their ears
Every. congressman from those south
ern states which are reliably Demo
cratic should be sent up into the states
of the north and middle west to make
campaign speeches, There Is a splen-
did corps of them-yeung men 10 the
prime of life orators Of every variety.
Think what 4 rattllng of dry bones
it would make IN Indiana and Illinois
to turn loose In that fertile field John
Sharp Williams. John Allen and Pat
rick Henry Of Missouri. Henry D. Clog
ton. willis Brewer and oscar W. I'm
derwood of Alabama. Judge Griggs
William Charles Adamson, Charles L.
Bartlett and William NJ. Howard of
Georgia and the whole Arkansas dele
cation, William Walton Kitchen, the
Hotspur of North Carolina; Joseph ".
Bailey, Bob Henry. Tom Ball, r. G.
De Graffenreid, Judge Lanham, Robert
Emmet Burke. aud, ia fact the entire
delegation frem Texas from Louis
lana and Florida, with the senators
from all these states. They would
make the political Rome howl and no
mistake.

SANE OLD THING.
Same old Mack same old Mark
Same old dog with same old bark.
Same old sauds. sans old gush,

Same old combines, same old trusts,
Same old boss 10 say ''You must.
Same old fight as in ninety-six,
But this time, Marx, we're on 10 youf
TRICKS.
Speaking of poetry. here is quat
rain by some unknown genius which
every stump speaker should fasten in
his memory:
Almighty dollar, thy shining face
Bespeaks thy wendreus power
Nv pocket make thy resting place:

danger of failing into that class of
persons to whom the Saviour said. BE
ware when all men speak wen OF YOU
