WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.—What Senator | Depew characterized as a farewell unique | in thé senate's history was delivered today by James Gordon, senator from, Misslasippi, | who 8Ald goodbye to the senators with | Whom He had served for the last sixty days. | Practically the entire senate listened with | At attention to the address of the vener- able Misalssipplan. Beginning with the statement that the | Geadlock in Missisaippi had been broken ; and that Mr. Percy had been chosen to fake his place, Colonel Gordon said that he had | felt & desire to express his feelings towards | the senate before returning to his home in | Misstssippl. | He then told how, when § years old, he had been presented with a toy board which was checked over with different objects, some of them good and some of them bad. One of these objects was the capitol of the United States and his mother had told him, he said, that if he would be good and would live & carrect life he might some day hope to #it in the seat of the big man who was plotured there. “She never had told me a lle and I knew that what she sald was true. 1 knew tha 1 would some day oocupy the seat of that big man and God helping me I got there yesterday (referring to the fact that for a time yesterday he had occupled the seat of the presiding officer). millionaire,” sald Colonel Gordon, “but I never was happy Gntil I got rid of my surplus money.

He said that whenever the umion and confederate sol- dters met they were always good friends. Asderting that he loved the negro, he d clared that he wanted Mason and Dixon's line ‘obliterated from the map of the United States because he did not want any miore strife. *“A fow more blab-mouthed people down our way talk differently,” he sald, “but they are so Insignificant that they ure not worth cussing, they are not worth wasting Invectives upon. Paying a tribute to soldlers of both the nofth and the south, Colonel Gordon said: | ‘You say as well attempt to storm the helghts of hedven and pluck the diadem from Jehova's crown as to take away from «ithar of them any of the glory of the rec- ords o fthe two men who stood under the tres at Appomattox and brought the war to a close." ‘““This s the finest body of men that I ever assoclated with,” he continyed, speak- g of the senate itself, and he beamed upon his colleagues. returning to the negro question, ‘e don't want to hurt the ‘nigger;’ why 1 16ve him and to convinee you that I do 1 will quote from my own poetry concern- ing him." He then read two of his poems in which #1708 personal sentiment for the colored pesple of the south was expressed in rliymes.

BURTON OFFERS AMENDMENTS They Are Designed to Reconcile Differences Over Investments. POSTAL BILL IN THE HOUSE Chatrman Weeks Explains visions of Approprintion Act for 1911—Service Rapidly. Grows WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.—Declded prog- ress was made In the sénate today towards the dlsposition of the postal savinge bank bill. In uddition fo a striking speech by Eenator Balley *pd an amendment offered by Senator Brgflon, which is offered as a compromisc 6f the various diffarences on the quest)ui of the disposal of the funds arising frpf the postal deposits, Senator Carter m.;reetled, after many previous fu- tlle effo’ts, In getting next Thursday, March 3, iited for & voti on the bill. There was no objection, to- naming a day, and senators appeared pleased that a timo had been fixed for the final disposition of the measure, which it must be confessed, has dragged its progress through the sen- ate, Mr. Carter made his request immediately after the close of Senator Bafley's speech. The time was well selceted, for the reason that many senators have been walting to har from the Texas senator before agree- ing to the fixing of any ume for the ul- timate disposal of the bill. After Mr. Bafley had concluded many expressed the opinion that he had thrown much fight upon constitutional questions Involved in the subject. Me had a splendid audience, hoth on the floor of the senate and in the galleries and his spesch was recelved with general favor. Mr. Owen gave notlee that he would speak tomorrow on his proposed amend- ment, substituting a government guaran- tee of bank deposits for the suggested Dpostal banks. Mr. Balley’s Speech. Mr. Bailey discussed the difenernt clauses of the constitution, under which the sav- ings bank bill had found support. Be- ginning with the commerce clause, he de- clared it to be a grotesque absurdity to say that such an institution as a postal savings bank system could be established under it ¢ Refarring to the eontention that' the bl was justified under the borrowing clause of the comstitution, he asked its advocates Whether the real purpose of the measure Was thet of borrowing money. If it was, | then, that It was constitutional, but con- celving the object of this clause to be that of enabling the government to perform its fnuctions in time of emergency, he con- tended that this measure would not justify the contention made under this clause. If customs houses were as numerousas postoffices, said Senator Balley, they would | have been as apt to be chosen for this | business. The business proposed was a purely fiscal operation, he declared, and made no pretense of any connection with the operations of the postal service. He contended that the citizens had a right to do with money as he pleased, as he had with any other property. Rights of Citizens. “If you can bring money from its hid- Ing place In one way you can in another," he said. “You have just as much power to compel the citizen to supply money by threatening him with punishment as you have to tempt him by guaranteeing to him a profit on it. If you can employ a pre- mium you can employ a penalty. You have no more right to prescribe what a citizen shul do-with his money than you have to ®ay what he shall do with his land.” He then attempted to show that the pur- Dpose of the bill was to encourage economy and thrift, and he quoted the message of President Roosevelt of 197 in support of this contention, entering upon an argument to show that this was not part of the duty of he government, but, on the other hand, that it was an unwarranted obtrusion of | the government Into the affairs of its citi- | zens. Entering then into a discussion of the ab- stract rights of citizenship, Mr. Balley de- olared it was a libel to say that people could not take eare of thelr own money, | and declared that only through ‘struggle and suffering could a strong people be de- loped. He contended that people must | learn to take the chances and stand upon | their own responsibility in business affairs. | Mr. Burton’s Amendment In an effort to reconcile the differences | among senators, Senator Burton today in- troduced an amendment to the section pro- | viding for the disposal of vavings funds. | Four methods of investing the funds are | provided. They direct, first, for a reserve adequate to meet withdrawals, then the provision permits the purchase of the se- | curlties of the national government, fnvest- ment in state or city bonds as authorize by the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur- rency law, and In loans to banks on ap- proved security. | : Part Two | | Rumor reached Dundee the other day | that County Judge Charles Leslie was | thinking of moving to that suburb. | Now, Dundee knows Judge Leslie several ways, all favorably, but chiefly iu oconnection with two lawsuits which came closs home to Dundee. These were the prosecution of ¥, ‘L. Fitchett by H. C. Baird and the prosecution of Baird by Mr. Fitchett. The two men are next door neighbors and their recrimations and Fit- chett's” spite fenc have attained more than locel fame. When Judge Leslie fined Mr. Baird for assault on Fitchett, Mr. Fitchett concelved an admiration for the eounty judge, which Was nqi entirely disseminated when Baird Pprosecuting, the court fined Fitchett, him- | selt. Similariy—and this is the only thing |the two men have in commonwdr. Baird in J udnge I:eslic; Declines to Oid Neighbors formed a high opinion of Judge Lesiie when the court fined Fitchett. Thus Judge Leslle soaked them both and retained cach man's good will Fitchett heard the judge planned to move to pretty Dundee. Forthwith he appeared at the court house. “I understand Baird is willing to sell his kouse,” sald Fitchett, ‘it is a good pro- perty. Why don't you buy it? Next day in came Mr. Baird. “Judge” said he, “I hear Old Fitchett withes to sell and he has & good house, and you are coming out our way, I under. stand, 1 just wanted to tell you it is & #00d proposition. You could go farther and do worse." But alas! Judge Leslle has decided to take another plece of property and Messrs Fitchett and Baird bid fair to have each other for neighbors for some time to come. | }Fhormpeon From the Ciniginpati Enquirer.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. M.—~The first open move to bring about a settlemant of the street car strike In this ety was mads today when a committes composed of jclergymen of many denominations offered two plans to the company and the strikers, The first plan calls for a board of ar. bitration to be composed of two judges, two clergymen, two business men and a seventh member to be chosen by the other six. It Is proposed that each side select three of the Arbitrators. If this plan does not meet with approval, the clergymen that a board of arbitration be agreed upon to be composed of the state railroad commission and four other per- sons, two to be chosen by each side.

The troopers are all picked men, veteran: of the regular arr y, who haye seen riof duty In all parts of the state. Their pres- ence is expected to have a salutary effect upon the lawless element that-has been wrecking street cars iIn different sections of the city. Arriving in the rallroad yards in the northern section of the city each company quickly detrained their horses while a curious crowd lpoked on. The command to mount was given and they clattered along the streets to the Second Regiment armory at Broad and Susquehanna avenye, where headquarters have establighed during their stay here, After_ the 'flfi had’ breakfast .they were Isent to Kensington.

For the first time the Rapid Transit com- | pany succeeded in running Its cars until | o'clock on the Frankford line, which | benntrates this unruly territory. At that “‘Where can we get seed corn?" This {s the question which is now being asked hlundreds of times all over the state.

There is @ considerable Amount of 1908 corn other than that held by the seed houses, but in answering the inquiries the publicity bureau says: Pointers for Corn Growers. “By all means get seed corn of your neighbors it possible or select every ear planted from your own corn by the germi- natlon test.
