REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
New York Press.


After the honeymoon 1t is mostly beeswax.
Clothes make the man and underclothes the
woman.
Pretty lips were made to kiss. but not to
tell about it.
Even great men have been known to be
such little men to talk about themselves.
Little children know more than they say. and
grown-up people say more than they know.
Lots Of men know better after they mar
ried, but so do men In jail when they can't
get out
Either people know how to do thing but
don't want to, or they want to do 1t but don't
know how
Some husbands are so tame that they don't
want all three of the morning papers at break
fast at once.
Some women are so unselhsh they make
themselves presents OF bottles Of whisky and
boxes Of cigars.
Spindle-shanked women don't believe in
rainy-day skirts any more than the hat-chested
ones approve OF low-cut gowns
When the wife supplies all the liabilities
and the husband all the assets or vice versa,
marriage is likely to prove failure.
Nine-tenths of a woman's education is ac-
quired between the beginning OF her engage
ment and the end of her honeymoon.
A woman's idea Of making another woman
feel comfortable is TO tell her not to mind be-
cause all men care about anyway is pretty
woman.
good many who never think of get
ting tangled up with women who are not their
wives would get hopping mad II you told them
nobody could ever suspect them.

made no effort to determine upon any
policy on the question. Several substitutes
for the original plan were adopted and
the feeling in favor of dropping the whole
subject cropped out clearly. The Repub-
lican members from the south are not
willing to go any further than the en-
actment of a strong federal election law.
1t became evident that a large proper
ton Of the northern and western men
in the caucus were in favor of a conserv-
alive course. Their view was expressed
by Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois, who left the
chair to oppose any action at this time.
He is one of the most influential and at
the same time one Of the most cautious
Republicans in the house and he undoubt-
eddy spoke that night for a large contin-
gent of his party.
Mr.. Cannon reminded the caucus that
the party it represented had never made
anything out of any of the former force
bills it had urged and warned Repub-
licans to think we'll before they made an
other attempt in that direction. Mr.. Can
mons speech was a rap at the advocates
of federal election legislation, as we'll as
the supporters of the Crumpacker idea.
None Of the plans proposed received the
approval Of Mr.. Cannon and he urged
that nothing be done by the caucus.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Crum-
packer Monday night only provided for an
investigation OF the manner in which the
suffrage has been limited in the south.
1t was notable retreat from the Indiana
mans former position, but the caucus
was so Overwhelmingly against even this
substitute that it's advocates were glad
to secure an adjournment until next Mon
day night as their only escape from down
right defeat.
1t is safe to predict that the present con-
gress will do nothing on the subject Of
southern representation.
In fact it seems now that the question
will hardly be considered at all by that
body

THE CIRCUIT BILL REVIEWED.

The failure of the Grout oleomargarine
bill in the last congress has not prevented
it's hackers from bringing it forward
again.
They are now pressing it with all their
might and predict that it will pass. They
were quite as confident of the success
of their last effort, but found themselves
far short of a majority, and the opposition
to the Grout bill and the species of legis-
lation to which it belongs is quite as
strong now as 1t was year ago. Oleomar-
garine cannot be attacked on the ground
that it is an impure food product, and
therefore should be suppressed by the
government. Chemical analysis, even that
made by the governments experts, shows
that oleomargarine is quite as pure as the
best butter and much purer than most or
the butter on the market. 1t has been
found both palatable and wholesome by
all who have tried It. The average citizen
can see no good reason why this article
should be taxed out of existence; why
the federal authority should be used to
destroy one legitimate industry for the
benefit of another.
The proposed tax Of 10 cents a pound
on oleomargarine and heavy taxes upon
both the manufacturers of it and dealers
in it would drive that article out of the
market.
There are millions OF people who use 1t
and enjoy it, who are not able to buy
butter and are satisfied with this substi-
tute. The price of butter would be put
up even higher than it is now If the Grout
bill should pass
We already have strictly enforced fed
eral laws which make it impossible to
pass off oleomargarine for butter. Every
body who buys oleomargarine knows
exactly what he is getting and If he pre-
fers it or is not able to buy butter, the
government wrongs him when it uses its
taxing power to increase its price. 1t
would be a still greater injustice to pros
titute the taxing power of the government
so as to destroy an industry that is so
helpful to the masses of the people.
Representative Grosvenor of Ohio in
recent speech properly characterized the
pending oleomargarine bill as one Of the
most dangerous measures ever offered
in congress- 1t is an attempted use of the
federal power which if successful would
establish a precedent that might be used
with disastrous results.
We are glad to know that the senators
and representatives. from Georgia are SOL
idly opposed to any such legislation as
this bill proposes.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The most in
tense man in the ffty-seventh congress is
Senator Ben Tillman, of South Carolina.
He puts on the loud pedal for every word
he utters on the senate floor. He means
every word he says and punctuates every
sentence with a vivid gesture. This ges-
ture consists of extending the first two
fingers of the right hand like prongs of a
pitchfork, then jabbing them into the at
mosphere in the direction of his opponent
He is a Democrat, but you know that al
ready.
Senator Tillman sits in his chair tame
Nv. as If dreaming of the time when the
platform fell at Edgefield and stopped the
free fight in progress at the moment But
he Is not dreaming at all. He is listening
for some Republican to give utterance to
a statement that may be vulnerable.
When a Republican does this he is inn
mediately sorry, for Senator Tillman i'm
mediately pitchfOrks him.
The other day Senator Spooner, of Wis
cousin. was speaking. Senator Tillman
sat tamely in his chair as il dreaming
1.-THE senators on the other SIDE" con-
fessed Senator Spooner, ''have right to
say that there shall be free trade between
this country and the Philippines, as they
saw there should be free trade between
this country and every other country IN
the world -
Mr.. PRESIDENT shouted Senator Till
man. springing to his feet and pitchfork-
ing the atmosphere toward Senator
Spooner.
''Mr. PRESIDENT shouted Senator Raw
Inns, Of Utah. at the same instant
How many at a timer asked Senator
Spooner.
How happy could be with either, were
t'other dear charmer away!' quoted Sena-
tor TiIlman, pitchfOrking in time with the
rythm of the words.
THAT is what embarrasses me-" retort-
ed the Wisconsinian.
''NeIl. Just take that sweetheart for the
present and let me in later" jabbed the
South Carolinian.
The debate waved warm for half an
hour and then Senator Tillman resumed
his chair. Senator SpOoner went on to
say that the Republican side had courage
enough to do anything on earth.
Except to defend an infamous thing,
shouted Senator Tillman, with the loud
pedal on. of course.
eve have not courage enough to lynch
colored men or to deprive them Of their
rights" shrieked the Wisconsin senator
Jab, jab. jab! The pitchfork went to
work before the answer was framed even.
But the answer followed quickly, intense
ly.
Does the senator desire to discuss the
race question here and now? am ready
to meet him here. in Wisconsin, or any
other place on the race question! Does
the senator wish to leave the Philippine

proposition in which he Is dealing with a
colored people in a most infamous and
damnable and hypocritical way, to go to
the south to hold them up as examples
that we are dealing in a similar way with
the colored people here at home? Are we
to have two rules of conduct in regard to
the colored people-one in the Philippines
by which we butcher them and shoot
Christianity into them, and another in the
south where we are not allowed to protect
our wives and children?"
Then Senator Spooner uttered state
ment for which Senator Tillman had been
looking-a vulnerable statement.
cit is one thing to kill men with arms
In their hands against the government and
the flag" Spooner cried. ''It is another to
burn them where the laws are in force
and the courts are in session."
Senator Tillman lifted his pitch-fork.
You burned them in Kansas, sir!'

The debate on lynching was ended.

IN JUSTICE TO BISHOP MORRISON.

The Journal regrets exceedingly the pub

it appear that Bishop H. C. Morrison had
been taken to task by The Wesleyan
Christian Advocate. the organ of his

concerning other Methodist bishops. The
mistake was occasioned by the similarity

Of whom, and not the bishop, was re-

We take pleasure in making elsewhere
today full explanation of the error, and
frankly disclaim any intention of doing
Bishop Morrison an injustice.

rHE soUTH,s REPRESENTATION.

It is evident that the Republicans are
weakening on the proposition TO curtail
the representation in congress Of those
southern states that have limited the suf-
frage.
When Mr.. Crumpacker, Of Indiana, in
troduced in the last congress his bill to re-
duce the number of representatives OF
such states there was a somewhat general
demand among Republicans for its prompt
passage.
Now there is a decided reluctance on the
part OF most Republicans to rush this
measure and even Mr.. Crumpacker is less
reckless about IL than he was last win
ter.
