Show IVIiKlil; WAS C A INK? When the l'ti!i commission ami the illegitimate il-legitimate fcome rule bills were before congress. con-gress. tr before the committees, Jleletrate 1'ai.NR was prominent and promiscuous in making 9ug;.;elions and giving gratutious advice to members. At one time he even delivered a windy speech carefully prepared pre-pared beforehand fr the occasion and for home consumption. Yesterday the bill spreaniu. a direct tax upon all the property of the Territory for the purpose of raising money for the World's fair exhibit was passed by the house and it does not appear that our worthy delegate had a word to say or a suggestion to oifcr with regard to it; and yet he must have known that the bill vas a farce and would fail of its purpose siTi e the time when it could have been made .r:Ua,i;le had passed. In tbe tirt place, the i.i-stl commission has raised the mouoy ai;d is iji'uceeUlaff wliii tii woik. ia tbo second j -i.il. e tun tiK levy for the year is made and cannoL bo changed. The next levy will be too late, because the Fair will then be in progress. Mr. ('.vine of couiie knew that while the delate upon the bill was in progress, and yet he let it proceed without hindrance. Is it possible that tiie delegate did this with the purpose aforethought to teil the gullible people when he comes home liovy groat the J present home rule house, inciudiu Mr. j (.'aim', really is? What demagogy ! j |
