TIE FRAMING PRIvILEGE,-A candi-
date for Congress in the Second represent
alive district of Ohio announces that, il
sent to Washington, he will" eschew the
ranking privilege and vote to abolish it"
There Is always clear majority in the
House nominally in favor Of doing away
with this time-hopored nuisance; but
the voluntary promise Of a Congressman
not to make use Of it, whether abolished
or not, is, indeed, a novelty in politics. 1t
is pretty well understood that the House
can always enjoy cheap reputation for
pOsto(tice reform by voting for a bill TO
kill the ranking privilege, while relying
on the Senate to smother the measure in
their branch. This trick was exposed in
the Senate at the end Of the last session,
and the exposure, instead Of producing
shame and confusion Of face, was re-
Ceived with "loud laughter. by the bra,
zen gentry who had been guilty
OF it We think, therefore, first, that the
most important congressman to pledge to
this reform are candidates for the Senate,
instead oicsndidates for the House; and,
secondly, that the candidates for both
branches should be questioned on the pc.
sition taken by Governor Hayes, in Ohio,
namely, whether they will personally
"eschew" the privilege, even if TO "pur.
sue" Il remains legal BY the chicanery to
which Congress on this subject habitual.
ly resorts. Perhaps, we might eventually
get up a list of"users," Of "nonusers" and

total abstinence" of moderate trankers"
and of "habitual irankers" which would
shame Congress into On abandonment of
this main obstacle TO cheaper postage for
the people. Era..-- ~

The New Church Organ.

They've got bran new organ. Sue.
For all their fuss and search;
They've done just as they said they'd do,
And fetched it into church.
They're bound the critter shall be seen.
And on the preachers right
They've hoisted up their new machine,
In everybody's sight,
They've got chorister and choir,
Agin MY voice and vote;
For it was never MY desire
To praise the Lord by note.
I've been sister good and true
For five an thirty year;
I've done what seemed my part to do,
An prayed my duty clear
I've sung the hymns both slow and quick,
Just as the preacher read,
And twice, when Deacon Tubb was sick,
[ took the fork an'ledl
And now, their bold, new-fangled ways
Is comm all about,
And /, right in my latter days,
Am fairly crowded out.
To-day the preacher good old dear,
With tears all in his eyes,
Read: II can read my title clear
To mansion in the skies.'
I always liked that blessed hymn
s'pose always will:
It somehow gratifes MY within,
In good old Ortonville
Bat when that choir got up to sing,
I couldn't catch word;
They sung the most dog-gondest thing
A body ever heardl
Some worldly chaps was standin near,
An when / seed them grin,
bid farewell to every fear,
And boldly waded in.
I thought I'd chase their tune along,
An tried with all my might.
But though my voice is good an strong,
I couldn't steer it right.
When they was high, then / was low,
An also contrawise,
And / too fast, or they too slow,
To mansion in the skies"
An after every verse, you know,
They played little tune;
I didn't understand, and so
l started in too soon.
pitched it pretty middlin' high
/ fetched lusty tone;
But oh, alas I found that
Was singin' there alonel
They laughed little, I am told;
But had done my best
And not wave of troubled rolled
Across my peaceful breast.
And Sister Brown could but look
She sits right front of me;
She never was no singin' book,
An never went to be;
But then she apays tried to co
The best she could, she said.
She understood the time, right through,
And kept it with her head;
But when she tried this mornin', oh,
had to laugh, or cough;
1t KEEP her head bobbin' so,
1t e. en- almost came off
An Deacon Tubbs-he all broke down
As one might well suppose;
He took one look at Sister Brown,
An meekly scratched his nose;
He looked his hymn book thro' and thro' +,
And laid it on the seat.
An then pensive sigh he drew,
An looked completely beat.
An when they took another bout
He didn't even rise,
But drawed his red bandanna out,
An wiped his weepin' eyes.
/ have been sister good an true
For five and thirty year;
I've done what seemed my palt TO do,
An prayed my duty clear;
But death will stop my voice, know,
For he is on my track;
An some day to church will go,
An never more come back;
An when the folks get up to sing
Whene' er that time shall be-
