Up in tho Kloudiko country it is said
to be so oold thnt whisky and alcohol

so stupendously astonishing about that
Whisky of tho summer quality has
boon known to freeze in Nebraska and
tho temperature not at a very low point

Tho burning of tho pouitoutinry nt

financiers of tho legislature something
else to think about than the election of

Another promise is due from tho

The national house and senate are

British free trade papers prof er the
advice that America might be muoh

away with its protective tariff system
Thank yon Mr Boll the people seem

that Britain would prosper much better
with the United States devoted to free
trade

the people will we anticipate de
cide differently If we dispense with

with0 This ia an unguBt gab at an
inoffensive letter and we prediot that
the author of the bill will realize what
gaokass he has made of himBelf ere
long He should be galled for treason
CtongreeB has no time to gangle over the
alphabet graver matters are coming up
for consideration The gaanty bill of
thbj member gars on the sensitive
nerves of the people The member is
evidently gealous of the attention
which eomsother congressmen are at
tracting So either as a get or a golly
lie gumps into the arena with a bill
that causes the statue of Gustice to
hirer and enterprising gournalists to
write columns about him The mem
ber ia in a goyful mood but he has no
gtutiflable motive for his action He is
a guggler that is all
