caucus which could not have been passed Dut
for an entire misconception OF their meaning
and effect. A most conspicuous instance Is
found in the bill just passed 10y the House.
1t concerns the employment of the army II
repeals other statutes affecting the same MAJ
ter; and vet no one knows what laws are re-
pealed by this BILL Neither friend nor foe
can as yet Judge how far 1t may be pernlcous
or beneficial. Careful examination has yet
to reveal the real character OF n meas
ure for which a majority of the House has
voted blindly.
The tendency of such legislation is in every
respect bad. Excepting under pressure OF n
sufficient necessity to justify extreme ana
dangerous methods, no party has hltherto
dared to resort to it. That no emergency
whatever exists at this time every Intelligent
citizen knows. There is not even party
emergency. The country would be better
served if all legislation upon the disputed
questions were deferred until next WINTER
Even the shrewdest Democrats now say that
their party would be in better position II all
such legislation could be deferred. Having
been plunged into its present attitude, now
ever, by the conduct of certain extremists, the
party pushes forward desperately, and resorts
TO caucus legislation as the only means OF
preventing its own utter defeat. It's wisest
men knows
a. That such legislation tends to prevent
the careful maturing and amendment OF
measure. This, indeed, is its primary object.
DictatiOn by party caucus can be desired Oniy
for the purpose of preventing changes winch
it is apprehcnded might be made in the free
discussion of an open session.
(2,) That it tends to prevent the rejection
of measure which for grave reasons some
portion OF the majority might after debate be
inclined to reject This, again, is the obvious
purpose of dictation by caucus. 1t is to shut
off the effect of argument. 1t is to seal the
ears of all members of the majority against
any arguments, however fOrcible, any appeals
to reason, any appeals to patriotism, which
may be made by members of the minority.
(3.) That it tends unnecessarily to violent
and extreme measures, for it is obvious that
reasonable, prudent judicous and patriotic
measures appeal to the better sense and the
calm Judgment of members and do not need
the coercion of caucus for their success. 1t Is
the very object of this system to secure the
passage of measures SO extreme that only
minority of the House, and a mere majority OF
a majority approve them. Necessarily the
system tends to the domination of the MI
nority; to the control Of the Government by
a desperate faction of extremists, determined
! compact and reckless, who are able TO control
in the secret marty caucus, where reasons may
he offered which men dare not give TO the
public. but who could not control in the
calmer atmosphere of open and public dis
cussion.
In reality this is revolution in our form Of

A new eight-page daily paper called lie Globe,
modelled after the great London dallles, VIII
shortly appear in Paris. Its career VIII be watched
with interest Paris journalism has always been a
great deal of n mystery to everybody outside of
France because it has seemed 70 succeed best when
disrepardug what are elsewhere considered the es-
tablished rules for success. Paris papers pay com
paratvely little attention to the news.
CITY matters, unless they relate to the
criminal courts, the theatre or the opera
are scarcely mentioned. and one or the most
important departments of American newspapers Is
thus almost wholly wanting. No systematic effort
is made to gather the news of France. There are
few special kilograms and the general news dis
patches are exceedingly meaTe. The journals OF
serious type give a great deal OF room to French
politics considerable to literature and art crtcis
some TO correspondence from other capitals, and
very little to anything else. The lighter and more
widely circulated papers devote large part OF ther
pace to the gossip and anecdotes Of the streets and
cafes. and to short tales and sketches. All
think it essential to publish in each
issue an instalment of a continued story in space
ruled off at the bottom of the first and second pages,
called the Feuilleton. The late ~ de Yllomessant of
the Figaro used to say that the Parsians cared
more to read about an accident to the Duchess oI
Merterudis fayorite poodle than about the most
important events happening in Europe, and the
great success OF his journal showed that he gauged
quite accurately the taste of the public iorwmch he
catered To cut loose from all the traditions of
French journalism and publish in Paris daily

chief function of newspaper is 10 furnish the news

Sensible Advice.

Whatever you do, never set up for
critic. We do not mean newspaper
critic, but one in private life, in the do
mestic circle, in society. 1t will do you
no good, but very great harm, if you
mind being called disag greeable. If you
do not like any ones nose, or object to
any ones chin, do not put your feelings
into words. If any ones manners do
not please you, remember your own.-
People are not all made to suit one taste;
recollect that. Take things as you find
them, unless you can alter them. Even
a dinner, after it is swallowed, cannot
be made any better. Continual fault
finding, continual criticism of the con-
duct of this one, and the speech of that
one, the dress of one, and the opinions
Of the other, will make home, as well as

A Funny Mistake.

TT was a Pullman sleeper" between
i Albany and Buffalo. Among the
passengers were a middle-aged couple,
evidently on their first journey, and
sour-faced old maid, rather desiccated in
her general effect, who was travelling
alone. The couple had an upper berth
in the adjoining section. In the same
car were a couple of frolicsome youths,
ready for any sort of mischief. Bed
time came and all hands retired. But
the husband could not sleep. Whether
it was because the motion of the cars,
the noise, the novelty of the situation,
he could not tell, but, try as he would,
he could not sleep. AT length it occur
red to him that he was thirsty. The
more he thought of it, the more thirsty
he got. So he called the porter, who
brought the ladder, and helped him
down. Now, while he was gone for the
water, one of the "boys" stepped out of
bed and shifted the ladder so that it
rested against the berth in which the
ancient maiden was sleeping, and then
returned to his bed to note the result.
In moment or two the husband re-
turned, and crept quietly up the steps,
anxious to make as little noise as posi-
BILE so as not to awaken his wife. The
occupant of the berth, thus rudely
intruded upon, awoke with start, and
screamed. The husband, supposing it
to be his easily frightened wife, tried to
reassure her, and said, " 1t is only me-"
"Only you, you old scoundrel," said
the venerable maiden, I'll teach you
a lesson" and with that she seized him
by the hair of his head and screamed
for help. Then he howled with pain.
Then his wife awakened by the noise,
discovered where her husband was, and
raised her voice in lamentation, heaping
reproaches upon her faithless spouse.
Then the passengers all got up and
demanded an explanation of the commo-
tion, and foremost among them was the
wretch who caused it all. Then the
husband covered with confusion, and
utterly unable to account for what he
had done, climbed down from his perch,
and skunk away to bed, where he was
soundly lectured for his faithlessness.
Altogether it was most uncomfortable
though ludicrous situation, and the
glances of defiance that were exchanged
between the wife and the old maid all
through the next day were study. The
cause of all the trouble leaked out, but
it never reached the ears of those chiefly
affected by it,

az In the bumblest dwellings and in
the obscurest corners, the noblest, the
most successful, and the most honorable
lives are lived as truly as in the wide
avenues and beneath the gaze of the
myriads of admirlng eyes. Every life
which Christ guides by his light, and
cheers by his smile, and crowns with his
forgiveness and his reward, is thorough
ly worth living for its experience and
for its abundant rewards.
