Washington dispatches state that in the
attempt was made to embarrass Chairman
Payne. of the ways and means committee.
by reading from a speech he made on the
Dingley tariff BILL in which he said he
hoped there would be a beet sugar factory
established in every congressional district
and that the tariff would not be changed in
twenty-five years. Mr.. Payne replied that
when he made that speech he did not know
there was to be war with Spain. This was
a legitimate retort. 1t is absurd to hold
a man to views previously expressed when
conditions have undergone an entire change.

The monkey never wears a shoe,
So tight il sadly pinches,
Nor dons a collar that's so big
It's killing him by inches.
He never goes to lectures dull,
Nor operas that bore him,
He gayly swings from tree to tree,
AS did his sire before him.
But we. of hind hands all bereft
Assume, though we don't need 'em,
All sorts of habits and attire
Ans compromise our freedom.
And Simians who see us quail.
AS Mrs. Grundy's hunkies.
Declare We are no credit to
Our stone ancestral monkeys.
