man of our 100000 people-not
counting the Filipinos. Porto Ricans.
Guanese and indians not taxed would
be satisfied with one seat in the senate
of the United States. Not so with Hon.
Cas-, however. He aspires to two
seats He must imagine that he is
Twins. There are two senators to elect
IN Delaware one for four years, the
other for six. Addicks has himself
voted for regularly for both places.
Whether he will succeed in his vault
ing ambition remains to be seen.
Republican Senatorial Manners,
In fine burst Of eloquence Cicero
exclaimed: 20 Temporal! o mores!'
con, the times! Oh the mannersn0 If
he had been in the senate on Monday,
the 21st inst, he would have ex-
claimed, ''Oh, the Republican man
ners!' On that day that venerable
New England statesman, General
Joseph r. Hawley of Connecticut, call
ed that other New England statesman,
Hon. William Eaton Chandler of New
Hampshire, a liar! Mark you, plain,
unvarnished liar, without any ifs or
butts or other qualification whatsoever!
Now, these statesmen are senators,
mark you, not OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
hers OF the upper house, improperly so
called, and not of the lower, and New
England Republican senators at that,
not senator's from the wild and woolly
west or from the heated regions of the
south. 1t was awful, awful, awful.
As usual, Hon. Richard Franklin
Pettigrew was the man who set these
gray haired senators by the ears. He
dug up from some literary junkshop
little half f1Hgotten or totally forgotten
pamphlet written by Chandler years
ago giyingsan account of how .the Wis
iting statesmen" to Louisiana in the
Tilden-Hayes middle of 1867 were
rewarded by Rutherford. In it Chan
dler said that Hawley declined the re-
ward offered him because it wasn't big
enough! Whereupon the venerable but
irascible general declared the state
ment to be lie and that Chandler
meant it for lie when he wrote it. To
this language, for using which General
Hawley could be convicted of a miSde-
meanor in any state in the Union, Chan
dler replied that Hawley was not re-
sponsible for anything he said, which
was the most unllindest cut of all. OF
course all this was duly and carefully
edited out Of The Record but neyertlle-
less isn't it bad example these elder
ly gentlemen are setting for the "giddy
young things" in the house who are
going or who want to go over to the
senate? And ought not Hon. Richard
Franklin Pettigrew to be disciplined
for precipitating such a disgraceful en-
broglio betwiXt two such aged states
men? Marcus Alonzo will be compel
led TO have a law providing punishment
for leze majesty passed speedily or.
Richard Franklin Pettigrew aforesaid
will be able to pull off pugilistic car
nival in the senate with great eclat.
Age of Chivnlry Revived.
1t has been declared that the day Of
miracles is past just as the age of chiv-
airy is gone. A great many people be-
lieved the declaration to be true, but
now comes Lemuel Eli Quigg, the alter
ego of Boss Plat, and revives the age
of miracles by making proclamation
that the Republicans, Independents and
sorehead Democrats are about to elect
a mayor Of Greater New York, and, to
use his astounding language, "the cam
paign against Tammany Hall will be
conducted upon the distinct under
standing that the coalition candidate
shall administer the city's affairs, if
elected, upon an absolutely bipartisan
basis" Surely the millennium is in
sight when Lemuel Eli, who is one of
the most intense partisans ever in con-
gress, declares for nonpartisan basis.
The devil was sick;
The devil a monk would be.
The devil got well;
The devil monk was he
Mr.. Quigg then, following the apos-
tolic injunction. gave reason for the
hope within him Of electing his mongrel
ticket in these words: "The conditions
today are entirely dissimilar to those Of
1897. At that time the Independents
and the Republicans were so distrust-
full Of each other that neither would
shake hands until one had slapped the
others face. There is no such feeling
now. The independents and Republic
ans now desire to cooperate" All, yes,
Lemmy, to Cooperate" in long pull,
a strong pull and a pull all together for
a raid on the savory feshpots of Egypt.
They are hungrier now than they were
in 1897; that's all.
Asked as to q .llayoraity candidate.
Mr.. Qulgg, the reforming lieutenant Of
that supereminent Reformer. with
