Representative Kern of Illinois and
Representative Norton of Ohio val
iantly announce that they will fight
any attempt on the part of Congress
to appropriate money for the expenses
of sending American representatives
to the coronation of King Edward
VII, the ground of their opposition
being that to do so will be to "do
homage" to a man who "rules by di-
vine right, and Nthat same sovereign
or rather his monarchial government,
is now engaged in crushing out by
brute force the little life of the South
African republic. =" 1t would seem
as if Messrs. Kern and Norton by the
exercise of a little ingenuity might
hit upon some little less ridiculous
method of securing for themselves
the cheap notoriety of which they are
evidently DESTROYS.
