When the administration un-
dertook to appoint the son OF
Justice Harlan to high colonial
Office and to pass a bill increas-
ing the salaries of the entire
Supreme Court while the colon
ial cases were pending, it offered
a deliberate insult to the memb-
ers of that body. No one believ-
es that the court can be affected
by such bold attempts at brib-
cry but there is no justification
for attempting them.

Representative Champ Clark
made humorous speech in his
best vein in favor of his amend
ment to the re-apportionment
bill, providing for the making of
the District of Columbia a ter
ritory, which was ruled out on a
point of order. He said
lit is a disgrace to the Ameri-
can republic that right here un-
der the shadow of the dome of
this capitol, 100000 people
black, white and copper colored
are absolutely disfranchised,
and have no more voice in their
own government than if they
were so many digger Indians.
The only objection I have ever
heard to my proposition was the
statement of some fine-haired
citizens of this town that if the
right of franchise was restored
to these people, the poor whites
and damn niggers would vote
them into bankruptcy. That is
very strange statement to be
mape in this capitol. You can
not walk 800 yards in this town
without seeing either the effigy
of Andrew jackson or Abraham
Lincoln. And to say that poor
whites are dangerous voters in
this country, in town that holds
up the lives of these men as ex-
emplars of American manhood is
absolutely preposterous. A wag
out in Missouri told me that when
Andrew johnson was sworn in as
vice-president, in looking up at
the diplomatic gallery he hap
pened to catch sight of the rep
resentatives of the foreign pow
ers up there, and he shook his
fist at them and said You ar
istocratic cockadoodles, go back
to your royal masters and tell
them that in the land of the set
ting sun you saw a tailor and a
rail-splitter climb to the apex of
human power. "

to eighteen states. Ten states

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is the mothers favorite. 1t is
pleasant and safe for children to
take and always cures. 1t is in
tended especially for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough,
and is the best medicine made
for these diseases. There is not
the least danger in giving it to
children for it contains no opium
or other injurious drug and may
be given as confidently to a babe
as to an adult. For sale by J. P.

American jurists brought to our

whose breasts still remains the
love of liberty and justice; and
conforming to the earnest wish
of the citizens of our common
country and of the State of Ida
no in their desire to honor the
memory of the great jurist, who
by his food of reason and truth
forever dignified the Supreme
Court of the United States, and
whose memory continues to live
