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 What this man should do is to go on a gunketing tour and rest his
