now represented by only one senator on
account of the opposition which his in

He is the same man precisely that he

prepared to do likewise, if he has not in

about as difficult for Clark to secure his

WHEN TEDDY RODE THE GOAT.
When Teddy rode the goat last night.
The COINS on, they say,
Beat all the records out of sight
For fun in Oyster Bay
Inc mystic boys they all turned out.
Just as they did to vote;
ana viewed the sight with wild delight
When Teddy rode the goat
They tossed him up an trun him down
An stood him on his head,
An ducked him till he almost drowned
An yanked him out half dead.
Ihey made him jig and sing a song
An yell like a coyote
q gosh, you'd aught to been along
When Teddy rode the goat.
He rode wild horses in the West
An lassoed crazy steers;
buekin' broncho was a lest
To him in early years;
But e, en- the jaunt up San Juan
That famous history wrote
Was nothin' to the COINS on

A PLEASANT SURPRISE.

The fate Of the Olmsted resolution in
be as pleasing as it is surprising to the
mass of the people of the country out
side OF comparatively few radical Re-
publican politicians. The plan of lessen
ing Southern representation in congress
has long been in process of incubation.
The Matching was brought to too abrupt,
and, as it now appears, TO premature
ending.
1t would be idle to inquire too closely
as to the influences which operated to
defeat the scheme thus early. We may
safely take the surface indications and
content ourselves with believing that the
measure did not have the sanction Of
the Republican leaders in the house or,
as such an important measure would
naturally be expected to have, the sane
ton of the administration. It was plain
that a number of Republican representa-
tiYes are unwilling to give their approval
to such a measure. Whether that num-
later, as it doubtless will be, may be
open to question. The truth, however
was made plain to the majority that as
big a hornets nest is certain to be
stirred up before the scheme is brought
to contamination as was revealed at
any time in the past while force bills and
other Like measures, aimed at the South.
were under consideration.
We may safely conclude. whether we
have heard the last of the scheme to dis
franchise the Southern states during the
present congress, or whether the scheme
