Mr.. BENSSr Of New York Well. Mr.. Chair
man. the gentleman has given me great deal
more Information that possessed
The extent OF Mr.. BENNEr's previous
information must have been amazing.
At last. however. h. il fitted to repre-
sent. for the time nj least. this seacoast
community. which ought TO be much
obliged 10 him. Should there not be
some public testimonial to this grand
old salts IL ssxtant would bs too
costly. why not compromise on a bar

The Clerk Of the House drones in his
voice of silver an affecting passage from
the legislative appropriation bill. and tho
Hon. Il. BRUCE MACON. the Arkansan
economist who objects to everything
unobjectionable. leaps to his head
The Clerk read a. follows;
- For purchase and repair OF bicycles and re-
voivers for PARK wstehmcn and for purchase Of
ammunition. S.Oo'
Mr. MACON Mr. Chairman, move to strike
out the las, word for tho purpose Of asking the
gentleman In charge OF the bill the necessity for
the increase In this paragraphs:
- For purchase and repair Of bicycles and re.
volvers for park ~atchmen and for purchase Of
ammunition. 81. 600
Last year the spproprta ton was 500.
Mr.. GnIkrr-The Increase vas for two
purposes. one for revovers and the other for
bicycles They said mat . great many Of the
bicycles rere worn out and they had 70 ses
new supply.
Mr. MAcox-How about the revolver: were
they worn out toor
Mr.. GulKrr-rhey did no, have any before.
Mr.. MAcoS-you had the same paragraph
here last year'
Mr.. GILLgrr-They did not have any.
Mr.. MAooS-Ycu Appropriated 500 for that
purpose las, year.
Mr.. MASS-Is Il . dangerous thing 10 let one
OF these men have . revolver
Mr.. MAcoS-t 10 that 70 turn them loose with
guns you do not know what will happen Does
shl. t..-
Mr.. GIrLErr-ve thought IL was wise: yes
We thought they ought to have IT,
MIR. MAoos-how many OF them are there
MIR. Gu.Lsrr-Betwecn forty and nifty.
Mr.. MAooN-rour hundred dollars ought 10
get them pis,o, Apiece.
Mr.. GnLkxr-I do not think 90. am not
as familiar a. tho gentleman from Arkansas Of
course with the cost OF pistols.
Mr.. MAcoN-Ten dollars apiece. think you
can get forty for SO apiece
Mr.. GItLErr--That would be from sto0 10 $40
and ihAs would leave the rest $500. for bicycles:
and they have 10 get ammunition too.
Mr.. MAcoS-Ii seems To me little eItravasant
10 appropriate that sum for pistols ana bicycles
but ! suppose the gentleman knows more about
IL ihan ! do and l will withdraw the pro forms
amendment-
Mr.. MACON is vigilant. but even he
sometimes mods. Arkansas will forgive
him the pistols: she has the happiest
remembrance Of her Attorney General
Ro0ERs driving the present Senator
DAVIS into the river by aiming lighted
corncob pipe az him: besides. pistols ARE
necessity. and bicycles may be soft
Campanjan Injuries no lenger since the
Low Combed Rooster aforesaid drives

One more titbit and tho last:
Mr.. BAMrIE.r Of Georsis-Mr. Speaker. IN
references TO the debate which has been had In
regard To the decisions Of Federal Judges annuIinx
the laws of the siasa. Is vii be rccs lied that Mr..
JEFFERSON. who was probably tho gres test man
that this country. or probsbiy any other country
ever produced. bad very decided views upon tina,
subJec. He did not believe that the Unl,es.
states court had any right tn decide mat State
sAtn,e vas unconstitutional. either a. contra
vening the state Constitution or the Federal
Constitution
We sometimes amuse ourselves by
wondering what kind Of figure 10 cut by
tho greatest man that this country or
probably any other country ever pro-
duced'' when JOHN MARSHALL, some
time OF Virginia. runs across him in
the Elysian Fields
