A FUTILE OBJECTION.

Representative Champ Clark of Missouri grew eo-
quent the Tuesday, in protest against the
enforcement of rule cutting OFF amendments to the
Cuban bill He predicted that the Democrats would con-
troll the next house ard he added the more Of these
ron clad rules you down Threats the more you
viii have rammed down yours
Of course this protest uttered only for political
effect There is 10 good reason why the Democrats
should object to the enforcement Of this rule. Their
amendments which were proposed simply for the pur
pose gaining political capital could net be adopted
and their consideration would only delay the proceedings
Of the house Neither viii the Republicans have just
cause CT complaint the Democrats in case they should
control the next house adopt similar rules to expedite
the dispatch Of business
When the famous Reed rules were adopted the Dem

"hoPES. WHAT APE THEY?,

Hopes. what are they? Beads of mourning
Strung on slender blades of grass;
Or spiders web adorning
In a strait and treacherous pass.
What s youth? A dancing billow,
winds behind, and rocks before,)
Age? 4 dropping tottering willow
On fat and lazy shore.
What is peace? When pain is over,
And love ceases to rebel,
Let the last faint sigh discover
That precedes the passing knell.
