Glenn of Idaho, one of the new . ! members of congress, says that what- ' over success he has attained is due to his having read when most of his neighbors slept, or while he was waiting wait-ing the preparation of his meals, as he seldom had the opportunity to study during the daytime. Eecause Genet al Miles expressed his opinion rather vattnly over 1 lie decision de-cision of the Schley court he was 1 waimly rebuked by the president. The ; Hough Rider'.s opinion is that General Miles' opinion should be bott'ed up or i; waled like the canned beef soli to the ' army.

' The "Wei.sh ftadleal, Lloyd George, a I ! i . member of the house of commons, who Js opposed to the Boer war, undertook 1 the other day to fulfill an engagement 1. to speak In the Birmingham town hall. The place tvss packed by adherents of j ' ' M ' Chamberlain who not only rrevhnted the visitor from speaking, but drove him off the platform, -and he was only saved with a -whole skin by escptn? from a side ioo7n disguised in the uniform uni-form of a "bobby."

He is the man that, started a paper to boost the lortly and oppressed, who bought all the other papers except his. ft takes money to boost the lowly and oppressed. op-pressed. The break-up in the president's cabinet cab-inet has alieady begun. A new postmaster post-master general and a new secretary of the treasury will succeed the IdcKinley selections. Gage, the banker, will go; that s one good change. Hia successor, Gc.tnior Shaw of Iowa, is a millionaire, million-aire, but not a banker; that's another good omen. There is no reason why a banker should not make as good a, treasurer as a successful merchant, only that he carries the bunk into the bureau with him and 5s never out of the atmosphere of per cent. Agaia he don't like silver. Historian MacUy refused to resign I his soft berth in the navy department and was fired by the president's orders. Mac-lay claimed immunity from discharge dis-charge because he was appointed un-. der t'ne civil service laws. The thing for congress to do is to dig up evidence showing that Maclay was employed by the ravy department to slander history his-tory and its heroes and draw pay as a "special laborer." The mere firing of this- insignificant puppy does not sat-j sat-j isfy the people. Th persons kehind I M;:ciay are responsible, for the whole trouble, and the firing should begin in tb,- president's cabinet. |
