Mr.. Cafrery maintained that whatever
territory might be acquired by the United
States must be governed by the limita-
lions of the Constitution. Every man
living under the flag of the United States
was entitled TO the rights and privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution and its
amendments. The Filipinos, therefore,
were entitled to these privileges, all and
indiyisibIe, that are guaranteed by the
Constitution TO the citizens of the United
States.
Reverting TO his argument that Congress
had no inherent power TO govern acquired

Wrath Aroused by SibIey.

Representative Sibley, Of PENNSYLVANIA,
who bears a close resemblance to Mr..
Clark, secured the floor after the latter
spoke, and called down the wrath Of Mis-
souri, Democrats upon himself by reading a
letter from "a former Democratic member
OF the House from Missouri, who SUD-
ported the Chicago PLATFORM praising
Mr.. Sibley's expansion speech of a few
days ago.
Representative Cochran, of Missouri. in
dignantly inquired If the Missourian re-
ferred to wasn't seeking a Federal ap-
pointmelt at the hands of President Nc
kinley, but Mr.. Sibley retorted that the
President probably mad TO Office within
ms gift which his correspondent would
accept.
Then the Pennsylvania branched out
into speech, justifying his position for
expansion. He referred to the taunts and
Jibes that were being constantly direct
cd at him from the Democratic side.
They might call him turncoat if they
desired, but he would turn his coat when
ever the inside looked better than the
outside. ''Some of my Democratic
friends" added Mr.. SibIey, would do well
at this time to turn their coats inside out
and thus cover up the rags and tatters
in which they are clothed"
Representative Sibley then drew a
quaint Scriptural picture of the prodigal.
and quoted from Holy Writ quite as
readily as Representative Clark had done.
While he might have eaten the hUsks. h
declared eloqUently that ne preferred
something better. Mr.. Sibley drew a
round of applause from the Republicans
by telling the Democrats that they could
consider his seat eonstrucuVely on the
Republican side.
Representative Cochran replied to Mr..
Sibley in a five-minute speech, IN which
he spoke of the frequent appearance of
the personal pronoun IL Mr.. Sibley's re
marks and of attempts to advise his col

Proceeding he inveighed against in
perialism in eloquent terms. He went into
the history Of the negotiations with
Aguinaldo In an attempt to prove that the
latter understood that success against the
Spanards would mean liberty and indie
pendence for the Filipinos.
Commenting upon Gen. Otis reasons
for changing the language of the Presi-
dents proclamation TO the Filipinos, Mr..
Dinsmore said, THE biting, blistering
sarcasm of Gen. Otis constitutes insubo--
dination at the very least" Mr. Dins-
more said he was not given to adulation,
but he respected Aguinaldo as one who
had the courage 10 fight for the liberty
and independence of his own people.

Elephant stories.

Talking of elephant fables, the AMI
nal trainer said:
'"Take, for instance, the story of the
man who stuck a pin in the elephants
trunk and years afterward was del
uged with dirty water by the remem-
boring elephant. l am surprised that
any one should take this yarn serious
ly. Why, the average thickness of the
elephants hide runs from half an inch
to two inches deep. Now, imagine
pin going through that thickness on an
errand Of pain. 1t would swallow
pin and break needle.
"The old fashioned elephant story
that has any real basis of truth is the
one that makes the big brute afraid of
a mouse. Experience in the winter
quarters of a show, where mice and
rats thrive, convinces one of this fact.
A mouse will make an entire herd
noisy with fright, and rat will put
them in condition of desperate fear
An elephant may defend itself against
a lion, tiger or any other natural enc
nv, but the insignificant size OF
mouse battles his conception of often
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
Is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk, and 1t
can scamper over his rough hide with
impunity The elephant realizes his
helplessness against such a diminutive
foe and learns to fear it as he fears no
other animal. Buffalo EXPRESS.

Until the constitutional amendment
of 1904 the president and the vice pres
ident were voted for on the same bal
lot, the man with the second highest
number of votes becoming vice presi-
dent. The presidential electors have
not always been chosen by popular
vote
Before 1900 it was the general GUS
tom for the state legislatures to choose
the electors, and it was not until 1928
that presidential electors were chosen
in nearly all the states by popular vote.
AS late rs 1876 the Colorado legislature
chose the three presidential electors to
represent that state. There Is nothing
in the constitution to prevent any state
legislature naming its own electors
without appeal to the people provided
such a method of election is prescribed
by the state laws.
From 1900 to 1924 presidential candi-
dates were chosen by the members OF
congress in caucus. In 1924 the elect
oral college failed to make choice
from the candidates so submitted, and
the matter went to the house of repre-
sentatives. Four years later Tennes-
sees legislature nominated Andrew
Jackson without any reference to the
congressional caucus. His opponent,
John Quincy Adams, was nominated in
the old way, but that was the end of
presidential nominations by congress
sional caucus.-New York Sun.

L,ttIe willie Ate Everything.

Until they are trained to eat properly
youngsters are usually like little pig
gies. They ''root" through everything
and leave a muss after them. Willie,
6 years old, has a pair Of parents who
try to break him of the habit of TAX

eat and leaving much to go to waste.

their watchfulness.

dutlfully eat the crust.
Don't take such a large piece of
cake, Willie, unless you can eat it,
his papa will say, and Willie will take
1t and stuff himself with it rather than
to leave crumb for his father to
grumble about.
The other day Willie was invited to
a birthday party. His mother dressed
him In bib vest clothes.
Now. anld, Willie," was the last
thing she SAID to him; ''eat everything

Willie came home that evening with
severe pains. The little girl in whose

of ornamentation of it were - wax

The D,.puted Name Of the war.

TIC OAAP0hCA GN&AAAAC Va 80 49,
The Confederate Veterans, In their
annual convention in Louisville, decid-
ed that the war Of 1865 should be
known as the "war between the
states" This is the name that Alexan-
der H. Stephens favored, and it is the
one generally used by the people of the
south in speaking of that war, the
northern people calling it the rebellion
Strange it is that neither name is cor
rect definition of the event. All know
that there was no rebellion. States that
had sovereignty could not be guilty OF
rebellion. Neither was 1t a war be-
tween the states. but actually war
between two governments made. up OF
states. Some writer's call it a civil war.
yet 1t was not war between citizens
in their civil capacity. but. as before
said, war between regularly organ
lied governments. There is. In fact. no
concise way of naming the conflict;
hence these mlsnomers. Possibly the
best title would be the simple one OF
calling it by the years of Its beginning
and close-namely, the war Of 1875
