The man who, as The World lias pointed out, bought the Vice presidency as he would purchase any thing else that pleased him a town or country lion-c, a fast-yacht, a fine picture, a famous horse does not find in his new acquisition the su preme pleasure, he mi p posed it would afford him. He has discovered, in fact, that the Vice-Presidency is a good deal of a matter and that it cannot be taken up nnd laid down as a bauble for his a inusement. A househecould shut up and a yacht hecould f 1.1 of i ii.. riu-h IIm I'mlrl . . , ;f . ftJ ainctureor turn it to the wall, or a horse hecould send to the auction stand, but the Vice Presidency is an entirely different thing. When he set out to buy it he looked on the office. merely as a ribon to tie on his coat, and he willingly gave his bags of silver for it, because it wr.s the only thing of the kind in the market. He held the "option" and hetook it. An experience of less than a week has convinced him that the Vice Presidency of the United .States cannot be purchased and worn as a dee oration, even by a man wins boasts the ownership of ten .,.!ii;..L .,f h ;, II.IIJH.1IC Ul UVfllf.II lit PJ IS" , . . uneasily and uncomfortably1 thought t myself.

John Jasper, the famous author of "de sun do move" theory. The bride waited at the pulpit, while ten virgins with their lamps burning went down the aisle to meet the groom, who stood at the door. As they walked the lamps of five foolish virgins went out, whereupon they were summarily expelled from the building, and weie forced to stand on the pave ment outside during the en tire ceremony. This was, of course, according to the pro gramme. Then the five wise virgins, whose lamps were burning brightly, escorted the groom uptheaisle, where he was met by the bride while the choir sang, "Behold, the bridegroom cometh." The Truth Ahout Speak er Carlisle Our Congress man Cowlcs says of Mr. Car lisle: Mr. Carlise exercised control of this House of Rep resentatives with a perfectly unwarranted arbitrary and dictatorial power, lie is standing now in the way of public legislation that would relieve the people of $39, 000,000 of taxation because forsooth he and the whisky ring of Kentucky and other States do not think any in fraction should be made of the internal revenue law. I believe he is dominated as completely by the whisky ring as any man ever v,i.j domin ated by any body of men in the world. I have been treat ed wrongfully in not being al lowed an a representative of the American jieop'.e, and es-. peci illy of my own district and Stat, to call up a mat ter reported favorably from a leading committee.
