The Terrible Reporters.
Something terrible has happened In
the House. The exalted position, the
peerless wisdom, the immaculate vir-
tue. the Jove.like majesty Of the Hon
orable Representatives has not been
fittingly recognized by the impertinent
press. The irreverent reporters who
are condemned to sit day after day and

windy orators have neglected to take
of their hats, fall upon their knees,
throw dust upon the debased heads
