could he elected. but I'm an exceedingly
poor man for a marquis, and so I have
no chance. We i'm our family have never

two dukedoms and several baronies in
the family. but they have lapsed.
"Our inability to be elected to the
House of Lords and the constitutional
prevention against our sitting in the
House Of Commons has made it impos-

should have.

you're a person of real consequence and
get no recognition-why, you're up

coalition on the wool bill. thereupon Of
fered an amendment reducing the duties
on machinery used in the manufacture
of cotton TO 30 per cent. The insurgents.
by this time dimly aware of the pre-
dicament 10 which they had brought
themselves. made a show OF going over
to the support Of the Democrats. The
amendment was carried, 80 To 22.
The first crisis of the day was reached
when Senator Overman offered an
amendment revising the chemical sched-
long array Of paragraphs - per cent.
The legislation at this point began TO
assume "A humorous aspect, in direct con-
trast with the gravity with which the
Senate usually considers the tariff The
subject Of revising the chemical schedule
had not been considered either by the
Senate or by a committee. although il is
one OF the most complex in the tariff
law. and the amendment had not even
been read. The Senator from North
Carolina admitted that it had been pre-

what effect the reductions would have
