oinal circus this week, and he was rims
master. too, for a few brief minutes
SulZer is pompadOur-hair youns
man. in a pepper-and-Salt suit, very
much impressed with the merits o.
Mr.. Sulzer. Also, he is kind of {
movable feast like Easter or a travel
ing boil in that it is mostly hard t.
predict where he is going to break out
next; the only certain thing about him
being that he is mighty uncertain. Part
of the time he is striving to be a No.
Henry Clay-the statesman, not the CT
gar,-part of the time he wants to be a
| Bryan and with the Bryan stand, and
all of the time he wants to be a pOlit-
| ical Mrs. Nation, heaving' dornicks
| through some other fellows windows
Once in a while he stops being any
body else and is just plain Sulzer. This
was one of the occasions.
Last winter the local pro-BOers, OF
whom he is which. held a meeting to
have a nice, enjoyable, comminatory
time with the British lion and incl
dentally raise funds for the Dutch tail
twisters. They had their time and
raised their money $1,000 being col
lected. of which only SIS got out of
town on its way to Kruger. Whether
that ever reached him or not is an I'M
solved problem, and it's detail anyhow;
it's sure that SLIP fell by the way
side. Naturally. during the campaign,
the republican newspapers rubbed it
into Mr.. Sulzer regarding the hiatus;
not because there was any particular
suspicion of him or of his colleagues,
but it was convenient chance to apply
tabasco sauce. AS a matter of fact,
understand. the S1172 merely disap-
rod N CIGARS hotel r. fra
ing expenses of the Boer drummers and
so on. Which is also a detail. Sui
ger, however. became convinced that
his personal honesty was suspected and
he has been boiling within ever since.
Somehow, he attributed the attacks to
Perry Heath. assistant postmaster gen.
eral, national committeeman. and a
very good all-round sort OF man in
his way-which is very good way.
he has been laying for Mr..
Heath. Somebody sent him an anony-
nous letter. accusing the republican
man of completely with Neel-
ey's Cuban footing and of gen.
eral disrespect for the decalogue. My
self l fancy Mr.. Heath keeps pretty
well within the limits of the command
ments, but SulZer doesn't feel that way.
he insisted on reading the
missive as part of his remarks. and
in getting it into the Record
in spite of the protests of people who
don't care so much for anonymous let
.ers. Then there was a row. Shat

n the form of a piece of poetry-dog |
serel or pupperel, maybe, would be a |
better term.-of which the first and
asst StanZaS are:
L love the man who knows it all.
From east to west, from north to |
south;
Who knows all things, both great and
small.
And tells it with his tireless mouth:
Who holds listening world in awe,
The while he works his iron jaw.
Good Lord, from evils fierce and
Save us each day; from fear and woe
from wreck and flood, from storm and
fire,
From sudden death, from secret foe;
from blighting rain and burning
drouth,

Next day the house voted to eXpunge
