On the eve Of his retirement from Con-
gress, Representative James ". Wads-
worth, OF New York, has submitted to
the House a statement IN justification Of
the position he took last session on the
meat inspection legislation. His speech
was delivered yesterday. just after the
House, in Committee OF the Whole, had
finished its consideration of the agricUl-
tural appropriation bill, Of which Or.
WadsWorth had charge, and which Il
was ready to adopt.
To add % the general Interest Mr..
Wadsworth made his remarks lmmedi-
ately after asking the committee 10 re-
turn TO the section Of the bill wherein the
meat inspection law was re-enacted-the
law which is accepted as having been
the cause OF his retirement from Con

meat inspection legislation was under
consideration, the President saw 1T, In
"a letter TO him as chairman Of the Agri-
cultural Committee, I'm unmeasured

pose Of the members OF the committee,

mittee"

of "whiskers on the upper lip and SO

Johnson defined "whisker" as the

"whisk" properly meaning to sweep,
and "whisker" having been a par.

1t has been calculated that the cost

thing like $4,000 This is not sur

members that no fewer than 80 tons
of mud are carried about from place
to place on the wheels of carts and
carriages and horses hoofs. After a
wet day the dry mud brushed from
peoples clothing amounts to Is tons,
and very similar amount is shaken
out of the door mats. City mud,
however, has its good points. The
shoeblack increases his earnings in
the muddy weather, and new silk hats
and dresses and boots and shoes are
each and all the direct outcome Of its
destructive qualities.
