NOT UP In THE CLASSICS
Dark as to Title and
Colophon.

A certain member of the house Of rep
resentatives, nameless here forever more,
met newspaper correspondent IN the lobby
the other day and mysteriously invited him
to his committee room. The correspondent
cast a chew of tobacco out of his mouth
in anticipation, and followed the states
man to the seclusion of the place designated.

carefully to see that only the two of them
were present, L want to ask you question

SENATORIAL COURTESY.
The Gentleman from the South Gave
Way and the Senate Was
Adjourned.

Senator Pettus, of Alabama, is the most
Owl-like member of the senate. He is so
ponderously solemn that he is unconscious
ly humorous.
Mr.. Pettus will be so years old next July.
He belongs to the old school of southern
statesmen now fast disappearing. 1t is easy
to see, in the dogmatic manner in which he
lays down the law to his senatorial col
leagsses, that he has been Judge. He speaks
with great deliberation, at the rate of about
Xix words a minute, and each word9l en-
phasized by the waving of his chin whiskers.
His gestures are confined to a wide sweep of
his arm from his body and an inverse mo-
ton. Everything he does or says is serious.
Even when he wants the senate to adjourn,
he goes about it in a way that is the very
quintessence of solemn dignity. For in
stance, the other afternoon, when Mr..
Spooner was talking on the Quay case, Mr..
Pettus arose.
'I should like to ask the senator to give
way for a motion, if he pleases,' - remarked
Mr.. Pettus, uttering each word as if the
fate of the aation depended upon the an
swer.
'cI will agree to anything the senator
wants me to, replied Mr.. Spooner, smiling
ly, "ercept to vote against my convictions on
constitutional question"
IT am not asking you to do that" said
Mr.. Pettus, still mysterious, 'but I want
you to give way to motion.
well, what is it ?" asked Mr.. Spooner.
1t is to adjourn" answered Mr.. Pettus,
in his melancholy voice and without a
smile.
Every member of the senate laughed, and
the motion to adjourn was carried.-Wash-
ington Post. %

President Mckinley and that of many

Buffalo Courier.
The republican party, strive as
it may against the tide, must either
abandon protection or abandon ex-
pansion. The two policies are incom-
patible. In the endeavor to reconcile
individual greed with national growth
the party is making itself the mock of
the world. 1t has apparently assumed
responsibilities which it is incapable OF
rightfully discharging. 1t will have

Nobody has any right to be sur

work of the machines, under the skill

far that it is almost impossible to make
Roadway against it. = CINCINNATI En-

BELIEVES IN HORSE SENSE.

In Cahoots with England.

Ifanything more were needed to prove
that there is secret compact between
this administration and Great Britain
it would seem to have been furnished
by the act of Secretary John Hay in
sending the message he did to England
in regard to Intervention in the South
African war. The wording of that offer
was such that it gave England the OPP
portunity she had been very anxious
for to answer in such terms that any
Intervention from any quarter is pre-
cluded. It would almost seem tLat the
message of Hay must have been writ
ten by Salisbury himself. A friend is
need is friend indeed. The McKi9-
ley administration has shown itself To
be that kind of friend to Englarsa
right at the critical time when th$t
grasping empire was irthe act of conf
hitting the greatest crime of the ages
in crushing the twin republics of South
Africa. England rejoices. of course,
while all the world looks on with sad
ness.-Cleveland Recorder.
