 'l soe,' said MT. Hennessy, that Cngress has knocked off wurruk.''
 Tt has," said MT. Dooley; .'or, to speak more accurately, tn House iv representatives has gone back to wurruk. Tn Shit is still there with its feet up on the desk an it's vinrable nose burrid in it's chest It's been q Sr-reat session iv Congress. It will live long in tn mim'ry iv tn American people if they don't f'rget. Ivry time I think iv it, it makes me proud I'm an almost native iv this counthry where tn meanest citizen can go to Wash'n- ton an get his rights but nobody else can.
 What has it done, says ye? Well, to begin with, it has smashed tn thrust 5s well, almost smashed thim-well, give tEim a good hearty pat, annyhow. In tn beginnin' it looked as though on V halfway measures Wud be adopted. They was unimportaHt bills to take tn money away firm tn thrusts, to burn thim in ile to murdher thim, to lock thim up fir life. But tn leaders iv Congress demanded more dhrastic measures. Me frind Sinitor Aldrich. who riprisints constituency that's all most as big as my back yard, was de- termined that no pains shud be spared to bring tn thrusts to their knees n fear or gratichood.

Tn bill I am goin' to offer in tn name iv me frind Sinitor Elkins who is poundin' his ear in tn cloak room at this minyit, wrings me heart It is an assault on all that I hold deal in life-an' don't eXpict to sell till it's a good deal dearer.' ha says. But he says, no wan iver knew Erasmus Haitch Aldrich to fail to respond to tn call iv jooty howiver ad valorem,' he says, My counthry calls me an I fay aside ivry consideration an rush to tn bank he says. 'Th still small voice iy | jooty as it ticks off tn figures or tn | tape is iver in me ear he says. I an here to belt tn thrusts,' he says, 'an ' here I am. I move ye sir, that we sub-
