REVIEW TABLE.


Speaker Cannon is said to have said
that this country is a place-of-future-
punishment-for-the- Of sue
cess" We translate and Bowdlerize
his language out of sulphurous Can
nonese for the benefit of ears polite. !
Mr.. Cannon as GEAR" Is also much of
success, but there have been plenty !
of murmurings and little Instructions
in the house. And John Sharp Will
liams has found frequent occasion to
toss his martial topknot and rouse the
applause of the rebellious. On the
statehood bill Uncle Joe" can hardly
be said to have saved his face" In
the matter of meat inspection, too, he
had to come down from his high horse
Powerful as the speaker is, there is
an entity or abstraction called "public
opinion that can and does spank him
into submission relentlessly-if it is
proper to say spanked of one who
wears so reverend beard. To tell
the whole truth, in the recent session
of congress, the senate, with all it's
imperfections on it's head" was more
popular, as it always was more in
telligent than the house. A bitter
fact to the house, which is the
speaker. In spite Of his faults and
his language, most everybody" likes
Mr. Cannon, and he is wise enough to
keep on good terms with the news
paper correspondents, who naturally
like him, because he is very human
and salient person. No matter how
many bills he squelches and how
many toes he treads on, the house
dotes on him; and why shouldn't he
be nominated for president, as he was,
to wild cheering, in the house two or
three years ago? Too old? Then let
