MAKING A JOKE-BILL.
One of our Georgia representative*
han taken upon himself the re*Poß
•ibility of addin* merriment to the
serious aide of lobulation In Wash
lutton.
Mr. Park, of thla state, has Intro
duced a bill In the house by which
bo hope* to solve the Mexican prob
lem and the race question In the
South, the while getting for htmaeH
hjinc little advetrlaiug of u more or
leea useless nature
Mr. Park's bill proponed that the
l ntted Slate* shall buy the Northern
part of Mexico and dispatch the ne
groes from the United State* there
to form colonies "A little nonsense
now and then Is relished by the beat
of men.' but we don't think that It
has auy place In the national halls ol
legislation
The gentlemen who are sent to
Washington have serious duties to
perform and this blll-Shaklng takes
time and trouble A joke in the right
place ta all right, but Mr Park runs
the risk of being taken seriously
when he makes a Joke-bill —perhaps
he runa the risk of taking hla joke

indeed be a Joke In the wrong place

Had Samuel Woodworth been writ

have made the first line of “The Old

this heart are the songs of m;. child

ory as the old songs that recall the
faimlalr scenes of childhood.
Samuel Woodworth was born al
most 130 years ago He was an Amer
ican journalist ami was the author
of many hooks on political subjects
and romantic history. His “Old Oak
en Bucket' was set to music, and in
this form will doubtless live forever
During the last few years there has
been a revival of the old songs. The

More than this. If th» police had uny

or any other resident, they would not

In that enlightened strip of tropic soil
It ha* been demonstrated l>eyond the

Years of observation by trained
scientists and tests and figuring by
experts have resulted in a male of ab

us in saying there is far more reason
for growing excited over the presence
of a single fly in the house at this
time of year than of a case of small
