Mr.. Hansbrough--I know that the
people of New England require lob

thetic stage where they cannot got
along without lobster. They must
have sea food, and plenty of it.
(Laaghter.) Out in the Wehtern
country, where l come, we like fish,
also, but catfish is good enough for
us. We may reach the lobster stage
some day, and l hope we shall.
(Laughter.)
Mr. Tillman--I cannot find any
genuine cream cheese in the South.
IT is some bogus article, hardly fit to

small towns where the hotels were
not first class, and right in sight,

Mr.. Beveridgc--When the Senator
says that forestry has nothing to do
with farming, he exhibits a profound
ignorance Of both.
Mr.. Tillman-I am much obliged
to my wise friend, the new Solomon
who has arisen from Indiana, to tell
us what he knows about farming.
Mr.. Beveridge--I will say that
what ! know about farming l know
by practical experience. l am not

possibly saw a plow run, or followed
one for a few days, and who now
come here as experts, oh, it is innu-
merable.
Mr.. Beveridge-Let me say to the
Senator from South Carolina that
there are other implements upon the
farm of very great value besides the
pitchfork.
Mr.. Tillman-Now, we have got
the pitchfork in at last, and l will
proceed to use it upon the Senator.

Mr.. Tillman--Thc Record will
show that | said forestry was only
more or less indirectly connected
with farming.
Mr.. Bever.dgc Il accept the Sena-

Mr.. Tillman-If this is the kind of
apology they have out in Indiana,

is begging the question, or he is at
tempting to use pitchfork, which hc
has not got. 1t is but a little, old
tin spoon, split in two. Iaughtcr.)
Mr.. Bcvcridge-I insist that the
Senator shall give me a clear delini-
ton of those two words.
Mr.. Tilman-One means field,
and the other means cultivation.
Now, do you get your information
If not, | will get the dictionary and
