Shipping Bill Made an Issue

D RESIDENT Wilson has made an issue Of
the shipping bill. He has challenged
his foes i'll Congress, Republican and Demo-
cratic alike, to make their attacks a little
more definite and their alternative remedy,
if they have one, visible to the naked eye
He appeals to the country for support Of this
measure, which, he declares, not impulsve-
ly and on the spur of the moment, but soberly
and after months of careful and thoughtful
consideration, is needed eXigently to con-
serve and advance the countrys commerce.
In plain words in his speech at Indian
apois, he dared Republican Senators to carry
out their threat and talk the bill to death.
Perhaps they will take up the offered gage,
but our own guess is that they will decline
1t, after the customary preliminary hourshes
If they should disappOint this expectation and
give battle, it will be interesting to observe
what aid and comfort they receive from
within the ranks OF the Democratic party

Cupid With q Gun

DR. SIMON BLOOM, vi New York seeking
- annulment OF his marriage to Eva
Mowitz, tells a terrible tale OF Cupid with a
gun that ought to make joy in the heart OF
the'author OF Potash and Perlmutter." With
out cracking smile splitting over his
shoulder. the good doctor says in the most
solemn way that, after proposing 10 him at
intervals theAslady ifnally approached him
with sad shiilc' and huge revolver. Using
the sad smile as a special pleader and the
revolver as an irrefutablc argument, she led
him right up to the license clerk made him
get the license, and then escorted him into
thehVery jaws OF matrimony.
Hfhe ladys reply is that she used no
coercion whatever but that she did furnish
$4,000 for the completion Of Blooms medica |
education in Baltimore, in consideration Of
which Bloom had given her a first mortgage
on his unsullied heart, which appears not to
have been worth quite SO much.
Cupid with gun has often been mis-
represented from the masculine side Of the
uhculties. but never before in the memory
Of the oldest inhabitant has h, been robbed
OF his bow and arrows and invested with n
siH-Ahooter by Her, who should appr0ach her
destiny in spirit of shrinking romance II
