,HE CHICAGO Tribune suggests that the Re-

THE Chicago Tribune suggests that the Re-
publican party should take the initiative
In accomplishing Congressional reform. 1t
claims that most of the bad legislation is due
to the carelessnessand hurry of the last days
of the session, and to the disregard of the
10th and 18th joint rules which provide that
no bill that shall have passed one House
shall be sent for concurrence to the other on
either of the last three days of the session,
and that no bill shall be presented to the
President for signature on the last day of the
session. The reform it advocates is this:
that no act passed by Congress shall be valid
unless presented to the President for his ap-
proyal three full days, excluding Sunday,
before the hour of adjournment of the ses-
sion, in order that he may have time to eX-
anime it; that no bill shall pass either
House unless it receive the affirmative vote
of majority Of all the members elected. said
vote to be taken by yeas and nays; that
the yeas and nays on any question shall
be taken upon the demand of ten MEM
bers in the House and three in the
Senate. At present majority OF each
House is quorum, and majority of a quo
rum can pass any bill; so that it is possible
for 20 senators and IA representatives to PASS
bill. The reform can only be accomplished
by an amendment to the constitution.

THE despatch which denies that Senator
Gordon will allow the use of his name by the
Democrats as candidate for the Vice Presi.
dency, recalls to the mind of the Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Times
statement made last January by one of the
Senator's intimate friends. According to that
statement Senator Gordon held the opinion
that the Democratic candidate for President
must be Northern man, and Vice President
Southern man who opposed secession and
was not connected with the confederate gov
ernment. In connection with this assertion
was the unqualified statement that Gen. Cor
don desired place in the Democratic admin
istration, and would prefer the war depart
ment. According to Senator Gordon, the
Confederate generals are not to be placed
in the front, but are TO be held in re-
serve, to be used when .the first success
has been achieved by the ruse of placing
them all in ambush and advancing the peace

In his last letter to the Tribune Arsense
Haussaye gives some bright thoughts from The
unpublished works of Augustin Cochin. Here
are some OF themi SIN politics as in religion
we often come to the credo through the con-
fteor'-"it is with virtues as with flowers:
some have have perfume, others cold colors;
some hang on graceful stems, Others stand
stiffly. There are people who are not con-
tent with keeping their souls white, they
want them starched'-'If the world is
prison, it is still important to reform the pris-
oner''-''Be satisfied with nothing but your
SELF" This last may be called Parislan Greek.
Mr.. Haussaye discourses charmingly on truff-
iles. Formerly the duty offinding them, ne says,
'was left to pigs" 1t was their pleasing office
to show us these treasures hidden in the
ground. But unfortunately they acted like
pigs when they found them. In vain the
truffle-venders would beat them. They gIunt-
ed, but ate. The Perigourdins have therefore
trained dogs to hunt this savory game. This
does rot suit the pig; and has be not some
right to complaint Can he not say, 81 was
the Christopher Columbus of this CASTRO
nomlc Amerlea-the dog will be its Amerlcus
Vespucius. At least they cannot accuse me
of lacking taste-for always ate at least half
found" The pig will plead in vain. Man
pardons no gluttony but his own. A grave
sayant has read an essay at the Academy of
Sciences to prove that the dog is predestined
to truffle-huntlng because nature made his
nose so like living truf1ie. "Just slookP'
said the Professor, who had dog under his
arm. There are other points of resemblance
between them. If the dogs nose is black
and shining, he is well bred. If it Is pink,
however charming the color, even if it is
pink with black spots, you may bet that there
has been at some time grave iDdiscretion in
his family. 1t is the same with trufIles. The
savant ended bis discourse with this admirs-
BILE thought: eve can never admire S uffi-
ciently the works of Providence"

SEVERAL Democratic papers having assert
ed that the Legislature, Governor and Coun-
Gil had increased the expenses Of the depart
ments of the state government the present
year beyond those of the previous year, the
Lewiston Journal shows that such is not the
case, but, on the other hand, that the expendi-
lures have been reduced at the rate of 5000
per month as compared with last year.
The exact facts are these: ''Last year on
the first of May, there were three clerks in
the Office of the Secretary of State (besides
the Deputy at a salary of little over $500
per month, and a messenger to the Governor
and Council at a salary OF $1o0 per month
total $400 per month. Now there are au-
thorized in both these departments two clerks
three including the messenger who acts as
clerk in the secretarY's Office when the coun-
Gil is not in SESSION. at a salary of $500 per
month,-whieh makes saving of 800 per
month in these two departments. The land
office had two clerks last summer at salary
of 5000 per month, the business in that Office
being very large, both last year and this year,
in consequence of extra work in arranging
for the sale OF lands and getting the Office
ready to close up. The present season one
clerk at salary of 800 per month is en-
ployed, although additional clerk assistance
from other departments will be called for
from time to time. This saves Slope month
in the Land Department. In the library $50
per month is saved from last year at this time,
by disseminating the assistant,in the Library.
In the Treasury Department, the Legislature
abolished the Office of Sinking Fund Com
missioner at salary of $3.50 per month, and
made an appropriation instead for clerk at
800 per month--the Committee on Finance
being satisfied that this was rendered neces-
sary by the large increase of work in the
treasurer's Office growing out OF the increased
Savings Bank tax, the railroad and the in
surance tax, aud the distribution of the mill
tax for schools. This change made reduc-
ton of $50 per month from last year,in-the
Treasury Department. Total reduction $500
per month";"
Furthermore these expenditures are reduc-
ed to the lowest limit that the heads of the
several state Offices stated could be done with
out injury to the public service; and in the
case of the Treasury Department also the
limit fixed By the Legislature.

A NEW dictum in the matter of dress has
been promulgated. The style OF the nose,
says French writer who has just published
work on dress, should indicate and govern
the style of the dress. A person with clas-
sical nose may wear a classical dress, but no
others shall. If the fortunate possessor of a
Greek nose is to be restricted to the tunic,
and he with the Roman proboscis to the to-
ga, then certainly the unfortunate possessor
of the snub must attire himself in the dirty
blanket of the Calmuck, and he with the
hooked nasal organ Of the Hebrew must
wear gabradine. But must the man with a
broken nose dress in coat out at the elbows
and with many rents?

IT is not our purpose generally to notice
any of the communications in the Advertiser
signed &C.," however severely they may re-
fleet upon the PRESS. Now that the public
is quite we'll aware who is the author of these
articles, they excite no interest or comment !;
and public disgust at the malicious and al
most fendish spirit of the author is only soft
ened by the plentiful evidence of the mono
maniac in his journalistic iEfictions. The
Augusta special to which he refers in his COM
munication of Saturday, which states that
there is thought to be flaw in the present
capital punishment law, was taken from the
Boston Globe, and are understood to have

dent in the capital cases referred to, and

they have already abandoned.
