They are Human snags.

Birmingham News.
 But some men constitute themselves human snags. and make a speciality of getting in everybodys way. chronic kicker is nearly as disagreeable as a super-sensitive man who ever imagines that some one is trying to step on his toes, when as a matter of fact the gen eral public would be unmindful that he had any toes if he wasn't always en- larging them.

The Leavenworth Times takes the skin off some of its Republican brethren for the failure of Cuban reciprocity legsla ton in this style:
 The reports from the island are all one way. Sugar plantations are suspending work, even the largest of them decreasing the number of men as rapidly as possible and care for the stuff already on hand. The business of the country Is at a stand- still and financial ruin staring the young republic in tho face. And this follows be- cause of a handful of men in the Senate who arc standing in the way of this country's doing what the people as d mass know should be done, not only for the good of both the countries. but for the purpose of keeping the pledge which We made to Cuba.
 The Republican Party promised relief to Cuba and Republicans violated that promise. Cannot the constituents of tine violators punish them for their treason?
