a little man who didn't want to do it,
but who felt that the cxigencies Of the
occasion were such as to require a
certain amount Of sacrifice of solf-re-
spcct and inclination. He felt his
humiliation, and everyone who saw him
walk the narrow line under the benig-
nant eye and patronage of Senator
McFarlin, experienced a feeling Of
sympathy for q fellow human being
who was doing something that he didn't
want to do, but simply had to do
under orders.
The Farnhust appropriation bill,
carrying with It Sl2i.OOO to pay deficit
of $1,000 and run the institution
during the next two years. passed the
Senate yesterday afternoon. This
was one Of the bills on the Addioks
list of hold-ups It was known that
Senator McFarlin was Interested
deeply in the bill. The Addicks
scheme was to hold .t up on him for
two purposes. The FIRST was to compel
him TO vote 90 unseat Senator Nc
Nulty and to seat Howard ID. Ross

done or not. The second was to COM
pei him to swing I'm and vote for Ad-
dicks for United States senator
whether he wanted 20 or not To
cover up this scheme, the specious plea
was advanced that the Legislature

appropriation, although every member
was acquainted intimately with the
needs of the institution and acknowl-

all appropriation bills shall originate

session.
When Senator Alice. the man whom
Addicks has left in Dover to run HE
sadly crippled senatorial campaign,
heard Of this intention ON the part of
Representative Finn, he slipped over
TO the House, canvassed the Union
Republican members and gave them
orders TO hold the bill up, it requiring
three-fourths vote and being at their
mercy.
Representative Ewing refused to be-
