of the subject, there would seem to be. no such thing as rhetoric without thought. The art of composition is the art of ex- pressing our thoughts; and if one has no thoughts he cannot be a rhetorician. The appropriate, adequate and precise express sion of nothing would be absolute silence mot rhetoric. Thought, then, is the real basis of all rhetoric; and every rhetor- ician must, from the very nature of the case, be more or less a thinker.
 Now. mans thoughts may be lacking fin weight; they may be even trivlal7nay they may be premeditated nonsense; and yet his rhetoric may be good. Shakespeare not unfrequently indulges in fooleries, but the competent critic will admit that they are admirable fooleries, and that they re- quire thought on the part of the writer who produces them. We are not sure that the nonsense of Polonicus did not tax Shakespeares thinking powers as much as did the soliloquies Of Hamlet. We feel pretty sure that Hoods "Blaok Job"

 In 1876 McKinzie was chosen a member of the Forty y-fifth Congress, succeeding John Young Brown, and took his seat the following October at an extra session called by R. B. Hayes. It was also the first Congress in which John G. Carlisle and Thomas B. Reed sat. The para mount political issue was the great fraud of 1S77," and the paramount legislative issue was soldiers at the polls The disputed presidential succession and fhe death of Speaker Kerr had sent Morrison and tariff reform to the rear and brought Samuel J. Randall and the stolen pres- dency to the front. Randall appointed q protection ways and means committee. That eliminated the tariff; the demo- crats refused to accept Tilden as the one and only possible leader. That elimi- mated the great fraud"
 But either in this or the succeeding Congress-in 1879 at any rate-James A. Mckenzie introduced and secured the passage of the bill putting quinine, there tofore heavily taxed, on the free list. It is the only piece of practical tariff reform between the reduced tariff of 1857 and the Wilson bill of 1S94-a period of 37 years. There was a wailng and gnashing of teeth in Philadelphia, and old Pig Iron warned them that the country would go to Tophet in a hand basket if the clutch of Powers & Weightman were taken off the pocketbooks of every poor devil shiv- ering with chills or parching with fever in the malarial districts. But the bill was passed, the price of quinine fell more than one-half, and yet two or three years

 Another representative from Kentucky -1S77-S3-was James A. Mckenzie of Christian county, and his district, the Second, could well dispute with any other in the union, including the Ashland dis trict itself, for first place in all the western hemisphere as an agricultural region. It's primacy in the growing of to- bacco was then, as it is now, everywhere conceded, while for the growing of grain corn, wheat, rye, and oats-it was, and is. unsurpassed.
