A yENTR1LooU1sT IN CONGRESS.

A ventriloquist. who was in the house the other day, had lots of fun while he stayed. He was somewhere in the gallery, and that is all that any one has been able to find out.
 General Grosvenor got up to make q few remarks, when apparently Speaker Henderson threw out his ob- servation in his direction:
 'The gentleman from Ohio will get off the earth.'
 It was the speakers voice and ac- cent to a dot. Grosvenor had nothing to say, and it is about the only time on record. He gasped, and so did every one else, for Henderson is not like Thomas B. Reed, who loved to bother people with unusual and sar- castle sayings; he is a considerate and kind man in the main, and would never think of being witty at tue expense of the white beared Ohioan. At the time the voice was projected into mid fir he was peacefully conversing with the clc rk and didn't even hear the remark. After the first pause of aStOnj hment there was a general laugh and Gros- venor did not join. Then the speaker grapsed the idea that something had happened, rapped wiz his gavel and drawled out:
 "The house will be in order"
 The sentence was repeated, appar- ently by an echo, and then it was the speakers turn to jump. lie looked as mystitied as a man could, especially as the stenographers turned and looked at him responsibility. Then the voice came out of nowhere again. It said:
 Rubber, rubber
 The stenographers blushed and sub- sided. The house roared with laugh ter and wondered what would happen next. What happened next was anoth- CT remark, which seemed to come from all parts of the hcslse at once:
 "Good-bye. boys, the wars over.'
 Then there was silence that you could cut and the doorkeepers began to hunt for the ventriloquist, but mo- body could locate him and nothing more was heard. He was Nse In ms generation.-Washing Capitol.

Charles R. Flint the organizer of

Charles k. Flint, the organizer of trusts, is said to be making an effort to consolidate the shipbuilding com panies throughout the United States. Well, why shouldn't there be a ship trust, and why shouldn't Mir Flint or ganize it? The politicians in congress are apparently going to hand out $1SO,OOOOO of the peoples money to the poor shipbuilders, and they ought to get together and prevent any body else from coming in for share of it. Hartford Times.
 '.Rum, Romanism and rebellion" beat James G. Blaine for president, and fool remarks have beaten many another candidate. In Kansas coun- ty q candidate at the recent election took his wife with him in his county campaign. To an acquaintance he said that he took his wife along so that he would not have to sleep with some old hayseed who hadn't taken Q bath for month. The acquaintance thought 1t a good joke and repeated the statement, with the result that the farmers went to the pSaiS in q Bolid phalanx and defeated that man.--Kan- sas City Journal :

Oh no, says q Washington writer, the Mckinley administration has no understanding with England, and does not act for the preservation of English interests. It just happened that the. administration bosses forced caucus of republican senators to decide to take no action upon the Nicaragua canal bill, while the Hay Pauncefote treaty is under conSidera- ton by the British government. In other words. a majority of the United States senate informs the world that it has turned the question of whether the Nicaragua canal shall be provided for at this session over to the British government All and all this is one of the most remarkable instances of trucking to a foreign nation in the history of the senate. and it is not surprising that four republican sena- tors should have revolted and openly said that they would not be bound by the action of the caucus-the sur prising thing is that majority of them should have been willing to make such an exhibition of them selves. If the British government legislation at this session of congress, it has only to defer making known its action on the treaty, until after the 4th of March. Naturally the Panama lobbyists are jubilant. This is play ing right into their hands.

the effect that Queen wllhelmina has

being that the public ought to follow
suit. Since Prince Henry returned TO

dining together and gradually resum-

they walked together and afterwards

Relations between Prince Henry
and members OF the court. however,
are strained. Former cordiality has
been replaced by an attitude OF frigid
politeness on part OF the prince con-
sort and apparently the gentlemen OF
the court are equally indisposed TO
gloss over recent occurrences.
