Hatch, of Missouri, stated that in view ofthe fact that various nrotests of knights of labor against the bill are being pre- nted, he wished to have the following telegram to Speaker Carlisle read: "Cleveland,O., May 29.—Acting under instructions from the general assembly of knights of labor, 1 desire to state that no pi rson whatever is authorized to speak for this organization, either in the affirmative ,, r negative, on the question ofthe regula tion of the sale of oleomargarine, now pending before congress.

He was modest, but he was always willing and resolute to contribute his mite to the legislation of the country, and lie had de termined to come to the front. As his name came High upon the roll call, and as lie liad heard the gentleman from New York iHiscocki once say that leaders would spring up here, would it not be well for his democratic friends to select him as a leader. He said with apparent modesty but with confidence, “behold your leader! follow me!” (Laughter and applause.) He represented an agricultural district, and was himself engaged in the laudable enter prise of dairying. If there was one indus try that he would be willing to protect above another it was tha cow. If there was one fraud that he would be willing to punish above another, it was a fraud upon the cow. He would support the hill if the amendment ofthe gentleman from Illinois were adopted, but he could not vote for the proposition to tax an industry out of exis tence. Daniel, of Virginia, spoke in advocacy of an amendment which he proposed to otter hereafter abolishing the internal revenue tax oil tobacco and on fruit brandy. In the platform of the democratic party as sembled at Chicago which nominated the president now occupying the executive office there was a distinct declaration and pledge to abolish war taxes. The internal revenue system was distinctively a war tax, and to that tax the language of the plat form was no doubt candidly and honestly directed. This seemed to he agricultural day ill the house, but while it was attending to one class of farmers, was he not justified in asking it to hear a long, patient cry which had ascended to the government for twenty-five years from that class of farmers who had during that period borne the burden of the war upon their shoulders. He denounced in strong language the tax on apple brandy, the re turn from which was a mere drop in the bucket in the government receipts, which brought in its train of domiciliary visits a horde of snies and Informers. As to this hill, if the republican party voted tor it it would he an abandonment of that theory of American protection which had cap tured thousands of votes in this country for self-government for Ireland.

A series of resolutions were adopted com plimenting Gladstone and his associates, and tendering sympathy and admiration. Tlie following cablegram was sent: “To Gladstone, Westminster, England: A mass meeting of thousands of citizens of New Orleans, including many leading men of the state, tender you congratulations on your noble effort to confer upon Ireland the benefit of that self government which lias been productive of so many blessings to ourselves, and a want of which in the recent past was productive of so much op pression and disorder.

Daniel Lamont, the president’s pri- | vate secretary, is one of the most genial | and discreet young men in the universe, ! and Mr. Cleveland, according to the poli ticians, acted wisely in taking the colonel • into his confidence in the matter now agi tating the feminine mind of this country- namely, the prospective marriage of Miss Folsom with the president. Mr. Cleveland has seen fit to announce, through a news paper correspondent, to all the nations of the earth that a marriage in which he may be one ofthe principal parties should not be a matter of public concern, but simply a private affair; and he expressed a burning wish to kee p his private affairs far from the public eye. Instead of quieting public clamor for an insight into his heart and mind upon the delicate 1 subject, he caused a greater interest than ever to be aroused, and in his agony, it is said, he implored Col. Lamont to step to the front unnshield him. THE FAITHFUL PRIVATE SECRETARY was equal to the emergency, as he always is equal to any emergency, and when he went to New York on Monday night and ! took rooms at the Hoffman hntiRo it was at ! once given out that he was there to make ! arrangement for the wedding, which, it is : now officially announced, is to be sol- I emnized next week. He had not been in j Edward H. Stoke’s magnificent hotel more I than an hour before the politicians tried to capture him, and he fought hard to keep I them away. On Tuesday morning he at tended the funeral of Mrs. George H. Pen- | die ton, and in the afterpoon, it was said, i was busy at Tiffany’s establishment trying I to select a present suitable to be given by I a president of the United States to his , bride. It was further said that he visited j many of New York’s great retail business I houses and made many purchases of arti- I cles which might go toward making a wed- I ding outfit for his illustrious employer. In the evening he again sparred with the poli ticians, who came in swarms to his rooms | in the hotel. THE GREATEST OF HIS KIND. Under a rough exterior Attorncy-Gen- ! eral Garland carries a most genial nature, i Not one of his former colleagues in the j United States senate but cherishes the j kindest recollections of him. He was the I most inveterate practical joker ever known ' in that body, but his fun never left a sting | behind. He has never been known to lose i his temper, and, unlike most practical , jokers, he enjoyed fun at his own expense. When they were in the senate together, 1 Voorhees and Garland were always watch- I ing each other. Though the “T'all Syca- j more” might have the laugh on his rival ! one day, the situation was certain to be re- | versed before the earth comnleted its next revolution. The tale regarding Voorhees’ I revenge by giving Garland a ! rosin soap caramel, is a household ; story throughout the land. Judge Coke, of Texas, was the only man in the senate of : that time who would not stand joking. He usually spoke in a voice as hoarse ns a ; florist’s apprentice, but one day he got ex cited when on his feet and souk** for an i hour in thunder tones that made the very ! walls reverberate. Mr. Garland pretended j to be entranced. He took a front chair and sat with his mouth ajar, gazing steadi ly into t he judge's face. When the speech ) ended Garland said, in bis most reverential tone, as though self-communing: I “Bless God for that beutiful voice.” ! The remark raised a laugh, and Cok»- is said to have felt so much incensed that he didn't even attempt to smile. COKE ON ETIQUETTE. ; Speaking of Judge Coke to a congress man from his state* this evening, drew out. i the following: The senator lives down on Sixth street, in strict retirement. Nobody is allowed to visit him without first send ing up his card. When the recent spell of warm weather was at its height the front door was left open one evening. It hap pened that two of his political friends from Galveston were in the city nnd seeking his residence. Seeing Judge Coke through the lighted window they ascended and knock ed at his room door. Being asked to enter the visitors stepped into the room, and were about to greet the senator joyfully, when he said : “Gentlemen, I regret to say that it is a rule of this house that the cards of visitors must always he sent up to me. 1 have to request that you will observe the custom.” “Certainly we will,” was the abashed re- | ply, as tho visitors backed out of the apart ment. They rung the bell, gave the ser vant girl their cards, and waited patiently for her return. They were anxious to hu mor an old man’s eccentricities. The girl reappeared, and the visitors almost fainted when she said :— “Senator Coke is not in.” EXACTLY HO. Apropos ofthe long drawn out oleomar garine discussion, I am reminded of a story that Acting Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild told a few evenings ago. “A friend of mine was sorelv afflicted with an impedient in his speech, 11 ’ said the secretary. “His only way of going ahead with Ii is conversation when he struck on a word was to think of its synonyme. He I could then utter the desired word without difficulty. He was dining out one day and during the progress of the meal began to stammer. “ ‘Please p-pass me the ’ and there he stuck. “‘Think ofthe synonyme,’ suggested a neighbor who knew the man’s weakness. •• “There is no synonyme for b-butter.’ ” He was right in all respect*—there’s nothing that will take the place of butter.
