Apins the British Government.

One Of the Senators from the state OF
Ohio has introduced into the Senate OF the
United States a bill enacting that the mem
bers of the Cabinet shall be entitled to oc-
cupy seats on the noor of the Senate and
the floor Of the House of Representatives;
and requiring their attendance in the SEN
ate, at the opening OF the sitting. every
Tuesday and Friday, and in the House every
Monday and Thursday Questions are TO
be put 10 the several Secretaries and TO the
Postmaster-Genernl and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
and answers are to bo given by them; but
they are not to participate in debate.
This is great innovation on our long
established form OF government. It is a
feeble and imperfect imitation OF the prac-
tice under the monarchical Government of
Great Britain.
Our established form has worked we'll
No good reason can bo assigned for the pro-
posed change. II tends to confounding the
executive and legislative departments Of
the Government, which may better be kept
a. distinct as they are now.
When the Secretaries have anything i'm
portant TO say let them say it succinctly in
writing Questions may at any time be put
10 them in the same way.
The facilities for governing the country
are great enough already. We have too
much government such as il is.
This new feature Of the British Govern
ment first; an hereditary monarchy and
nobility next!
Let us stay as we are, and he content with
what works 80 well. Ii we get in the habit
of changing, changes will be cunningly
introduced bywhich something of the peo-
/ pies rights will be surrendered. We have

UNION CLuB, March n
We do not advocate such reduction because
it would be Of no use. Tho rates Of fare are
already fixed under authority Of law. and il
does not appear that the Legislature has any
power to decree a reduction. The companies
have just as much business as they can do at
the present charges, and no argument would be
likely to bring them down.

makers OF the United States. II any measure

was reported fayorabv by tho Seuate's Finance
Committee. 1t is said that only about twenty
out OF nearly 2 900 manufacturers in the city Of
New York were opposed to It. The amend
ment. however. after being once passed nearly
unanimously was reconsidered on motion Of
Senator WHITE Of Maryland and for some un-
told reason was defeated by a small majority.
The passage OF the amendment would have
been advantageous TO thousands Of families.

other summer during which tho tenement

CHINESE METHOD OF WELDING
CAST IRON,

The Chinese process of welding crack
ed iron ware by cementing them with
molten iron Is thus described: In the
case, for example, of a cast-iron pan re-
quiring such treatment, the operator
commences by breaking the edges of the
fracture slightly with hammer. so ss to
enlarge the assures, after which the f-ac-
tured parts are placed and held in their
natural positions by means Of wooden
braces the pan, being ready, crucibles
made Of clay are laid in charcoal and
ignited in small portable sheet iron fur
mace, with below working horizontally.
As soon as the pieces Of cast iron with
which the crucibles were charged are
fused, it is poured on layer of partly
charred husk of rough rice, previously
spread on a thickly doubled cloth, the
object of this being to prevent the sud-
den cooling and hardening of the liquid
metal. While in the liquid state 1t is
quickly conveyed to the fractured part
under the vessel and forced with a jerk
into the enlarged tissure, while a paper
rubber is passed over the Obtruding liquid
inside of the vessel, making a neat,

LITTLE COTTON FACTORIES IN
SOUTH.

When Southern newspaper finds res
pite from politics 1t usually discusses the
question Of establishing small cotton fac
tories throughout the South. The fact
Is that many mills of limited capacity
have been established, especially in
South Carolina aud Georgia, and that
they are important instruments of re-
turning prosperity in those States. That
they are not large 10 not detrimental to
their success. They are mainly run by
water power, In neighborh1ods where
there is smalt population which would
have no other places Of employment dur
ing certain seasons of the year. 1t has
been found that colored girls and boys
are quite dexterous at the spindle, and
that where the little mills are located
there Is much more peace and order than
in hamlets whese there is no industrial
attraction for the idle. The cotton Ia
near at hand, the running power is
cheap, the workmen are attracted by the
novelty and by the opportunity to labor
under sheltering roofs, the warps COM
mand a ready market, and the profits,
relieved Of much Of the expense OF heavy
freight, are far from inconsiderable. In
nearly every case Of success the enter
prise has been charge Of practical spin
ners and business men. In an ecOno-
mical point Of view nothing could be
clearer than that the cotton should be
spun near where it is raised. As an ele-
ment of civilization these little mills are
working wonders, and every community
which seeks to establish one is taking 9
step toward the elevation OF both races
The little mill plan is morally opposed
to the Yazoo plan, and every hamle
which has factory is, in all that is pO
litically and socially desirable, man!
