He was standing beside the pail when he

circus people. but they made no effort

masher succeeded in stealing a kiss. but
the next moment he measured his length

The other men sprang forward 70 their
townsman's assistance, and fell upon
Bogner, bearing him 70 his knees. but
not before he had raised the old cry

Ten minutes later dozen badly

The KITCHEN UTENSILS

1t is the custom Of many housewives 10
use sand soap for securing and cleaning
almost anything in tin or agate ware in
their kitchen.
This IS a great mistake. as sand soap IS
injurious 20 some kinds Of kitchenware.
A bottle Of ammonia and a bottle Of kero-
sene are very useful for cleaning some OF
the utensils which will not stand such a
strenuous rubbing.
For instance. II you will put a few drops
OF ammonia in your frying pan. il will
work wonders. You can also put IL in the
coffee pot occasionally when you are
scalding II.
Galvanized iron and agateware should
be wiped with kerosene. as the sand soap
will in time wear away the enamel. II
you burn your agateware pan put a tea
spoonful Of borax or washing soda in the
pan with hot water and boil for fifteen
minutes.
After this the burned substance can be
easily removed. Never. whatever you do,
use sand soap on an enameled sink.

MATCHES

Their government ekes out its income
by monopolizing the sale Of matches. and

that the average consumption per capita
IN France in 1896 was Loss matches, or
IS a day for every man. woman, and
child in the republic. This represents an
annual expenditure by every individual IN
France Of a little less than p cents sor
ignition matches, OF which Is cents goes
into the national treasury.
Such figures are enough 10 appau the
stoutest hearted American smoker. who
probably sQuanders an average OF three
matches on every pipeful of tobacco, and
cigarette smokers would think a famine
had struck hard II they We're reduced TO
less than three matches a day.

There is widely popular belief among

900, would it not reflect greater wis
dom and more Justice and equity to
raise the limit Of removal in this
year A. ID. 1908 TO the sum or value
OF 100000? In justice, equity, and
good conscience I say that it should
be done at one (Applause.)
For further good and sufficient
reasons why this bill should become
a law ] will state what you all know,
what has been shown in the eXper-
this country, that the Federal courts
are held by the people Of the coun-
try in more awe than the State
courts; they are not looked upon
with favor or regarded with the
same degree OF confidence as State
courts; they are far removed from
The people and frequently are presid-
ed over by Judges appointed by the
President from other and distant
States from that in which they pre-
side; they are personally unknown
to the people. and ! regret to say
that the knowledge or information
the people have gathered concerning
some Of these Judges is not raSSuring
and not calculated TO inspire conf
dence, respect or esteem. (Applausc.)
The people value more highly than
any other the right of trial by jury.
That right is often rnthlessly swept
aside by a Federal Judge in charging
. iury upon The facts or in instruct
ing a verdict, For these and many
other reasons the people and lit
igants generally throughout the rural
districts are restless and dissatisfied
under the present judicial system Of
the United States to look upon the
Federal courts, az now established
as foreign tribunals, whose presiding
officers are not in touch or sympa-
thy with the masses OF the people
and who altogether ignorant OF the
character, habits, and Customs O. the
people over whom they weld juulcial
authority after the manner OF a ty-
rant Of the sixteenth century. under
this system equity. justice, and mer-
cy are oftcntimeS most conspicuous
by their absence. (Applause on the
Democratic side.)

train whatever measures he may like
through instruments dependent upon
himself for their offices and emolu-
ments; and besides this, O perverted
judicial system by menas of which
he may nullify all measures adopted
by the States which do not please
him.
Our condition in these respects Is
worse to-day than it vas in 1898.
when Jefferson and Madison aroused
the nation with tho kentucky and
Virginia resolutions. Federalism, or
nationalism, as it is now called, had
Adams; but not so wild as it has run
under Theodore Roosevelt. Many
useless offices had been created as
means of propagating the faith and
perpetuating the power of tho Fed
eralist party; but the number vas
insignificant, and the emoluments
still more insignificant, when compar-
ed with the $4,000 new Offices and
$36.000.0O0 in salaries created by
the Fifty-eighth and Fifty-ninth Con
crosses. The alien and sedition laws
had beer passed by Congress under
the whip and spur Of the Admins
tration in violation Of the ConStitu-
ton; but those were as nothing COM
pared with the tariff bills, the sub
sidy bill, the financial bills, and other
measures intended to benefit special
interests at the expense OF the public,
which have passed this House in 70
cent years. Nor were the direct usur-
pations Of undclegated powers, com
mittcd by Adams to be compared with
those which the present President has
committed.
I have not the time to go into the
respect TO the BURGLARY system, as
il was treated by tho Sixth Congress
under Adams and the Seventh under
Jefferson, | wish to speak at length,
in order to show that Congress has
complete authority to destroy. as we'll
as to create, courts inferior to the
Supreme Court, and therefore TO abol-
ish judicial Offices and to deprive
those persons who hold them of
their salaries.
After Jefferson had been elected
in 1900, and before he had taken his
seat in 1904, President Adams con-
ceived the design Of pcrpctuating his
"policies'-all enemies Of the Con-
stitution have "policics"-by Great
ing new Federal courts and filling
them with judges who could be de-
pended on to nullify any law passed
by the new Congress or by any State
legislature which might conflict with
his m%onorchial policies. In his fourth
annual message, November %, 1900,
he said: ,

c%ution, and to render that part of
