WI1011 Donimii 1J. Entoii'n miiHtcr

"lutlbly to IiIh Boimo of tbu IiKberoiiB.

bill wan in republican bandit; Kasnon
bail cbaro of it. The republlcaiia bad
timed tlio duniocrutft to cotno out ojenly
In Htipport of the meaHiiro. Cox, wlio
wnn just then very luticli inloresled in
tlin whipping 1,111, which ho rcKarded of
vnbtly greater Importanco to tlio coun
try Hutu tbo Pendleton bill, nnd who
wanted to get tbu civil-Horvlco-reform
nonsenne out of tlio way an noon an doh-
slide, accepted tlio challenge- in a spirit
01 inirlCMiitio bravado, and moved for
Hie paMnagu of tbo Pendleton bill with
out debate. Tlio CoiiL'icnsIonnl Record
telln tho story:
Cox I bellovo it is tbo opinion of (ho
majority of this Iioiiho that tlio shipping
bill Is of far more Importanco than even
tbu civil-sorvlco-reforin bill. Now, I
propone, In nood fallb, to my frioiid from
IowafKuHHon, liiusimich as thero bus
already been nn extended debate 011 Ibis
bill in the senate, that wo now forego
tnu (lulmto In the bonne, and at ouco put
tbo Pendleton bill on IU passage. Ap
plause, Many members on both sides of the
house That is right. Vote I Vote I
Kasson Now let the bill bo read.
Cox ! make the nronosltlon to un
friend fioin Iowa to put tbu Pendleton
bill 011 its passu go now without debate.
Kasson Lot the bill bo lead.
Cox Lot the bill bo read, and let us
have a vote on It to-day, with a view to
proceeding to thu practical business of
tlio buusu; that is, the appropriation
bills, the shipping bills, and other bills
of importance.
Kasson 1 notice that several gontlu
men huvo arisen on thu other sido of the
Iioubo ns if to protest ugainst that io
M')HiUou. Is thu gentleman nutnorizcti
tu speuk for that sidu?
Several members Yes, yes.
Cox 1 do not proiKjoo to speak for
any side of the liouso; I submit tbo pro-
K)illon to both sides.
Tho bill was read, Kasson moved tbo
previous ijueHtlon on it, and democratic
members, catching thu spirit of Cox's
joke, tumbled over each other in their
eagerness to push tho eivil-Borvice-re-forin
witticism to nti immediate vote.
Even under tbo gag law applied by tbo
republicans, tho bill was subject to de
bate for 30 minutes. Reagan of Texas
occupied part o( tho time in a serious at
tempt to show thu democrats- that tboy
wore being cheated. "1 will not voto
under pressure for this bill," bo said.
Hilary A. Herbert of Alabama hilari
ously remarked that be knew tlio bill
was a humbug, but that ho should voto
for it, because, us ho said, "no repub
lican shall got ahead of mo in condemn
ing his own methods." Thero wore a
few mora short sjieeches, nnd then a
voto came to relieve tho impatience of
the democrats, who believed that tho
ipilckest way to stop tho everlasting
howling of tiio Estonians was to give
them what they wanted nnd pass on to
matters of practical importanco.
Republican spoilsmen nnd democratic
humorists united in helping Cox in get
ting civll-sorvico reform out of tho way.
James llucophalus llolford, tho red
heudetl eagle of tho Rocky mountains,
voted for the bill. Julius Ciesar Eur
rotts Voted for it, with a grin on the
seamy slilu ot ins iranx countenance.
Kamucl Sullivan Cox voted for it, chuck
ling Inwardly. Tom Reed voted for it,
looking moro llko William Shakespeare
than over. Even Peeor Robeson's voto
helped to luiston the era of pnro polities.
Thu l'endleton bill passed tho liouso by
an overwhelming mujoiity. So Cox hud
his little joke, and tlio democratic party
Is now enjoying It.

Color of Arctic Animals.

Tho white color of Arctic mammals and
birds has hitherto been ascribed to pro
tective .-oscmblanco, the adaptation to a
snow-covered country being attributed
to tho preservation of individuals, which,
by asslinilatlug their surroundings in
color, either escaped detection by their
foes or wero enabled to securo their prey
moro advautagcously. A writer In Na
ture, however, hcolfs at this explanation,
and points out that whito, tlio worst
nbinrbor, is also the worst radiator of nil
forms of radiant energy, so that warm
blooded creatures thus clad are better ablo
to withstand tho severity of au arctlo
