body, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the national Democratic COM
mittee, will not cut much of figure in

YOU know 1t is the custom that no mans
name shall be brought before a national
convention unless he is supported by his

that he viii be the man"
by the way Mr. Johnson was asked,
will the national committee make an at
tempt to settle the differences between
the Populist anu Democratic parties in
the Sixth and Seventh district?"
No" he replied, the national COM
mittee vii mot take any action in the
matter 1t is against their policy. If the
state and district committee cannot ar
range matters, they VIII have 10 stand
as they are. Each state must look after
its own troubles

81 have heard Of Thee, Of the cures
wrought by Thee without herbs or med.

have sent thee a few lines entreating
Thee to come hither and cure my dis
ease
Besides hearing the Jews murmur
against Thee, and continue TO do Thee
mischief, invite Thee TO my city,
which is but a little one, but beautiful
and sufficient to entertain us both. "
Ohrist's reply is thus translated:
"Blsssed art thou believing In Me
whom thou hast not seen. for IL is

shall not believe; they that have not
seen Me shall believe and be saved.
But concerning the latter thou hast

Ventriloouist in the House.

A ventriloquist, and an expert at
that, managed to interjeot some rather
startling remarks into the dialogue in
the House, says the Washington letter
Of the Philadelphia North American.
The identity of the joker was not dis
covered, but he was probably located
somewhere in the gallery. His presence
was made known, or rather ne was first
heard, when Mr. Grosvenor, Of Ohio,
arose with due dignity 20 make some
observation, when he was greeted with
The gentleman from Ohio will get

The official stenographers nearly
twisted their necks off looking for the
speaker who seemed to have uttered the
startling sentence. Mr.. Grosvenor look.

derson but he discovered that the latter
was in conversation with the clerk. The
Speaker had not heard the words that
he seemed to have uttered. He was
oblivious Of the joke, and of the ludicrous
position of Mr.. Grosvenor, who for once
in his life found speech impossible.
He seemed to arrive at the conclusion
that his imagination had played him
trick. but the laughter Of those who had
heard the voice convinced him that
there was something wrong. Speaker
Henderson at this point raped. and
drswled out:
The House will be in order. " The
House will be in ORDER" came an ap-
parent echo.
1t was the Speakers turn now TO be
amazed. The stenographers turned to
look at him and were greeted with;
" Rubber, rubber "
The voice came from nowhere in par.
ticular. IL seemed to come from all
parts of the chamber, up through the
register or through the window. 1t
bounded about, and might have been
uttered by any one. 1t was too much,
and the members broke into roar
Then came the voice again;
