How They Say one TninE ana FuD'
IIah Another I'm the HOuse of COM
mons After the Fashion of Our Com
Kress.
It appears that our English cousins,
although fewer set speeches are made
in the House of Commons than in our
Congress, find the same trouble which
is experienced here in preventing mem
bers from tampering with the record.
Mem bers OF Parliament have not yet,
we believe, reached the sublime impu-
dencs of printing speeches which were
never made, but they have the same
mania for 'correctIon." A writer in
the London Daily Sel1S says upon this
subject:-I- ttl-
g "The real abuses OF 'Hansar d. con-
sist in the untrustworthiness OF its re-
ports. Nearly every speech placed on
record therein contains the views which
the speaker wished to be responsible
for, rather than those which he en-
deavored TO give effect to in parliament.
A proof is sent to each member, and he
has the option of making verbal alter
ations In it. This may seem perfectly
Just; in practice, however, 1t is some
times the reverse OF fair to the public.
An example of this occurred the
other night. Lord Cranborne, quoting
Mr.. Disraeli's we'll phrase about
extending the franchise not vertically
but lateraliy, had to use the word
radical instead OF VERTICAL because
the former WAS the word in 'Hansard.'
He thought, and in SO thinking he has
many friends, that the word actually
employed was VERTICAL II this were
so, then 1t is easy to understand why
the word radical was substituted for
il. Were such an instance OF the abuse
OF Hansard' Il solitary one 1t might be
passed over without comment. Unfor-
tunately, however, similar cases of
change, trivial in appearance, but
weIghty in result, might easily be null
tiplied. The mischief thereby wrought
is both great and irreparable. No 9TH
er report than that by 'Hansard' Is ac-
cepted by the House as authoritative.
'Hansard' Is the oracle to which dispu-
tants must appeal for the settlement of
disputes; 1t is an oracle which frequent
ly gives back unexpected as well as
unsatisfying responses. For this grew
ance a remedy can easily be found, but
II is less needful to discuss the remedy
than to put the grievance in clear
light. Ofthis there can be no doubt;
whatever a speaker in the House gives
utterance to should be literally treas
ured up for future reference. The words
he uses influence the debate and are
read by the country. In the interest OF
public morality he should not have the
power ofaltering an official record SO
as afterwards to be able to appeal TO it
in dfsproof of his ever having used the
language which he did employ. or ut
tered the particular epithet or phrase TO
which at the time he had given deliber-
ate ex Dression.D -. LOO aa-l

WE do not receive the New York
Romd Table regularly these days, and
have TO depend on friend McKelvsy's
weIl-HIIed news depot for u chance
c,py. We observe, however, by the
last Issue, that the Table has not out
grown its old habit OF Sensational
scandal, but still preserves Its old
tricks. True It no longer speaks OF
American men and women as demireps
aud drunkards, but IL asserts that the
vice Of gambling has been domesticated
in the highest social circles In New
York. We quote from its article as
follows: r6saH.
1.-The grRdRtions have doubtless been
numerous enough: out high plRy-plHY,
that IS, which would be considered high
nj n place like Baden-hAs certainly
been OF late carried on at the private
houses OF reputable and wealthy indi-
YiduWls In and near the Fifth avenue;
and this not as an exceptional, bnt "A
more or less regular thing. For obvi-
ous reasons we forbear 10 enter upon
deInils; but the evidence at our dispo-
sal Is conclusive, and can be furnished
II necessary. There is little need TO
point out the pitlable cOnseq uences such
habits as these promise to bring upon
the moral health OF the community. A
warning has ofIen more effect than a
hOmily. The spirit of gambling has
taken n dangerous hold, and the society
for its prevention or encouragement Is
established not day too soon."

at may be bad pun, says the New
York Post, ..to say that Jupiter Plu-
vius reigns," but it "has nevertheless
proved true this year" a writer in that
paper states that ever since October,
New York has been saturated. In ten
months they have had considerably
more than years rain there. Says the
writer: ~ ~
Literally, the rain it raineth every
day. ShAkespeare's clown must have
been singing of the summer OF 1907.
Fine days have been forgotten and the
weatberwise shake their heads as if
they believed the earth, through some
law as yet unknown, we're turning
round the wrong way. Aaury, in de
spair ofgolvlng the problem, Is said to
have become meteorologicalIy mad.
Thermometers having wet and dry
bulbs seem self-disgusted, and the two
columns Of mercury stand hoPelessly al
nearly the same height.
Hydrogen and oxygen appearto have
changed places. When 1t does not rain
the clouds threaten and the atmosphere
Is tilled with mist. Space, SO far as an
exceeding limited view will enable one
to Judge oft, has been transformed in
to an Immense laundry. Nature has
apparently determined to do for the
unwashed what they will not do for
| themselves. New York IS living Just
( now In a perpetual shower bath. a
! Pacific ocean, always over our heads
I furnishes free baths for the million.
/ Rain bows have become obsolete, for
7 which reason a few persons have come
\ TO regard themselves as antediluvians,
and affirm that the story Of the food
was intended for prophecy instead OF
/ history. .,.
The metropolis has become SO wicked
/ and 30 wise that 1t circumyents most
] means devised for its destruction. just
now ii Is in Il quandAry. The sdUdHts
who will not permit Pestilence cannot
prevent a catAclysm. What shall be
/ done? There is danger that the Park
l will be changed into n lake and its mag
| nificent drives all submerged. Perhaps
Manhattan Island will become part
of New York Bay. We do not share
these fears. 1t is our deliberate cOnvic-
/ ton that Nature, being of the feminine
! order, like Mrs. Bofin, has determined
I to be fashionable and show the world
] that she can Guido the entire sex in the
/ immenNity of her waterfall.
| II the rainfall during the remaining
| live months of the current year should
( prove equal to that OF the correspond
| ing months of 1856, 1t will amount TO
/ 57.6s inches, larger amount than has
fallen in any one year within the mem
| DRY of man. But If II should continue
TO fall for the coming i've in the same
proportion as during the past seven
| months, the precipitation in rain Will be
! ~ 81 inches, or feet ~ inches for the
entire year, or 5.O7 inches more than
has ever been known to fall upon this
island in the same length of time.

THE STAY LAW.

l Mr.. Euit0r:-We cannot refrain from expressing
our assent in the main to the views Of your cores
.pondent "Anti-Stsy-Lsw." The injury which has
been done to the whole community by the Stay
Law and its supporters is greater, in our judg-
mont than the relief it has afforded in individual
cases. The relief at best is temporary-the injury
| is permanent. Credit has been almost wholly des-
| troyed; for who will trust community whose cry
is-pay no debt. pay no taI-pay nothing. The
| truly worthy are placed in the category with the
dishonest, and all suffer in sort Of common re-
pudiation OF debts. The evil effect upon our
people is more and more manifest every day.
There is an almost utter indifference to the full
flment OF contracts, and very great disregard to
written as we'll as verbal agreements. Ask man
for money he has owed for q long time, and he
will laugh in your face. But my object is not 80
much to comment on this state OF things as to re-
mark upon the strange forgefulness that exists i'll
regard to the creditor. Has creditor no rights?
Is he entitled to no consideration? Is all the
sympathy to go out to man who owes money,
and none to the man to whom the money is due?
The perversity Of reasoning among some on this
matter is worthy Of attention.
Let me illustrate little had saved by close
economy and hard work $4,000 Some time ago
a man wanted to buy house. did not then want
the money, boarding as did with friend. only
wanted the interest So loaned it to him. But,
q year ago he ceased paying the interest, and so
stopped my income. Moreover, since the loan Of
the money have married, and now want my
$4,000. But my dsbtor says no, wont pay you
principle or interest. sue him, get judgment
when the Stay Law and Order No. 10 slips in and
say, you sha'nt have your money,-you sha'nt sell
the mans housei I say the house, in fact s not
hist s mine, and he honestly has no right to it
until he has paid me my tnoney-he keeps the
house-and the money and the intersst-and
has all the sympathy, while I, poor half-starv-
cd creditor, may whistle or go to the poor
house. This is one OF thousand cases that
can be mentioned of similar kind. Debtors en-
joy the propertyb ought with creditors money
pay no interest, refuse to pay principal
then howl Ike mad bulls If o. poor starving
oredito- tries to collect his honest dues. There
never was more truthful sentence written than
thissby "Anti Stay Law" 'We venture the asser
ton, that majority Of the persons, who 80 in
fuenced Gen. SIoKLEs, have not paid their debts
for twenty years without the interpos9DsA Of the
Sheriff" We may, il allowed, give or views on
the practical working of those laws and orders
in our business relations with the country. : ,.
