SENATOR vANcE's Wit.

Campaign Meeting.

The late Senator Vance used to say
that his liveliest campaign for the gov
ernorship Of North Carolina was that
in which Judge Settle ran against him.
They stumped the state in joint debate.
All the white Democrats turned out TO
hear Vance and all the colored Repub-
iicans to hear Settle. On one occasion
Vance was informed that some young
ladies desired to testify their devotion
to the Democratic party by kissing the
Democratic candidate for governor.
Nothing loath. Vance descended from
the platform and kissed a dozen or so
OF the young beauties and then paused
long enough to turn around toward his
competitor and shout. Settle. I'm kiss
ing my girls: now kiss yours"
When he married the second time he
said TO his wife on their wedding day:

Finnan Haddis.

"You may be getting tinnan haddie
when you order it at your Dealers"
said buyer for restaurant, land you
may not. Finnan haddie is smoked
haddock. Haddock is OF the same
family as the cod. 1t resembles the
Goldfish, but has Il black lateral line
The lateral line of the goldfish is white
The appearance of this line is not
changed by the smoking. and If you
take the trouble to glance down the
sides of the fish that you are buying
as finnan haddie you will often see
that the line is white, not black. Cod
may be just as good, as the dealer will
perhaps tell you. but if you want fin
nan haddie that is doubtless what you
want."-New York Sun.

JeTcrson's One Hobby.

Joseph Jefferson's one hobby was
painting. In the early morning. at half
past 6 or so. he would be heard calling
for his coffee and for his palette and
brushes. 1t was very hard to get any
conversation out OF him during the
day that did not in some way lead up
to painting. He would talk by the
hour about the different painters and
their works. He was gifted with pc

A >~~-~-~-~~-~-~-~-~~~~ ~>~-~~~~~-S>~~~~~~~ ate adjourned tonight without reaching final vote on that measure Senator Hepburn held the floor upon adjournment, and the understanding Is that when he concludes a vote will be taken.
 The amendments adopted place long list of farm implements on the free list; repeal the Canadian reciprocity law. and provide for duty of $2 per ton on print paper and reduce the duty on pt> iron to per cent and that on ferro-slicon to 10 per cent. There was prolonged and sharp controversy over an amendment by Senator Pomerene of Ohio to take ma- chine tools from the free list, as the House provided and fix a duty of 20 per cent on them. This was defeated, IS to 43.
 The successful unexpected fight for the repeal of the reciprocity law was inau- gurated by Senator Gronna, who at first proposed the repeal of all the reciprocity law except the second section. which per- mits the free admission of print paper from Canada.
 Senator Gallinger moved, as an amend mene to repeal the entire reciprocity law including the paper provision, This sug- gestion was accepted by MT. Gronna, who withdrew his amendment in it's favor. The effect of the success of the Gallinger amendment would have been to restore the Payne-Adrch rate of 8. .75 per ton on print taper, and Senator Cummins de- clared his unwilingness to go so far. He then proposed a rate of & per ton on print paper, which Mir Galinger accepted.
 The vote on this amendment stood S to 27
 Senator Cummins stated positively that if 1t should become law the provision would have the effect of placing duty of s2 per ton on paper from all other coun- tries as well as on that from Canada.
 An amendment by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, reducing the duty on pig iron to cents, in place of cents. as fixed by the Hcuse was voted in. 36 to 20, while an amendment by Senator Watson of West Virginia. fixing the duty on ferro-silicon al 10 per cent instead of 15 per cent was adopted without a division.

Barnes Statement

New York. May 29=Willam Barnes, Jr., chairman of the republican state committee today authorized the follow ing statement;
 ''This contest is one of principle not of men, If majority portion of the minority of an electorate in some states have not comprehended the meaning of the situation and have be- come infected by the personality of a candidate, 1t does not in any way change the situation nor affect the duty of the delegates from the state of New York, who will go to Chicago pledged to the platform of prinples adopted by the Rochester convention.
 Tt is not surprising that in few weeks campaign a majority of the re- publican electorate failed to compre- bend what MT. Rooseyelts assault upon republican principles really means.
