A member of the Ohio Sena.e has sue
ceed, d in striking out the III IN" prefix
ed to the name of signer of a petition.
His ground was that such title had no
official authority. 1t would be well II
this process were carried still further.
In some of the Southern States Senators
are designated as hanorablc, while men,
bers of the lower house are not. Con-
gressmen get it, and in many instances
JUICES. Members of the Governors
Council, where such a body exists, carry
the distinction without questioning. If
the title were abolished altogether it
would do no harm, and if it is to bear
any distinction with II, it's use must be
greatly restricted Otherwise it will be-
c)me as absurd az Esquire, which, ac-
cording to strict English usage, belongs
TO the younger sons of noblemen and
judges and other officers, but Is given to
lawyers oily by courtesy. Nowadays,
and in this country In particular, the
man who Is not an E.quire when al lress-
ed by correspondents Is rare and en-
viable excep ion to his fellow-citiz ms. If
there is not reform, we shall soon have
to get up some honorary appellation for
the women. They have already succeed
ed In getting called Reverend and Dos
tor, but that Is not enough. Reproduc-
ing the German usages, we might address
them as Majoress, Doctoress, Counsel
Dress and Generaless by mere change
in the gender Of their husbands title. If
we must use honorary designations In
ordinary converse, we ought by all
means to be i'm PARTIAL Gin. GaI.
