A Compliment to Senator Bruce.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
A number of Mississippians' resident in
Washington, last night presented hand
some gold-mounted cane to Senator Bruce,
as an expression of personal good will and
Endorsement of his public record by the res
ident citizens of his State. The gift was
presented by Judge Tarbel in behalf of him
self and other citizens of Mississippi, and
was accompanied with speech laudatory OF
Senator Bruce. and speaking in hopeful
tones of the progress and future of the race
sponded with a very modest, throughtful
reply.
In this connection we may as well in
troduce the following fair notice of the
colored Republican Senator from the
Lauderdale Review; and will add to
what the Review has said, and what
will be remembered to the credit CT Mr..
Bruce, that he respected the will of the
people of his State, as expressed by their
Legislature, in voting for the remoneti-
zation of silver:
1t may not be out of place just at this
time, and we hope no one will accuse this
sheet of unfaithfulness, to say that B. X.
Bruce has made as fair and impartial rep
resentative of his people and the Republican
party as could have been found in the whole
South. If he has done no good he has done
no harm. and that may be a little more than
one could say about some of the Democratic
Senators, if the thing was sifted down to
the husk. One thing we can say about
Bruce-he always was there to answer tc
roll call

in condemnation of Senator Lamar for absent

main at Jackson in the interest Of Gen. Wall

would have looked upon his election as an en-
dorsement of Mr.. Lamar's course, should look
upon his defeat as 4 condemnation of Mr. La

of the financial views of Mr.. Lamar, however,

THE New York Journal Of Commerce
says majority of the House is deter
mined not to pass any financial bills of
any Importance this session. There is
a growing belief on the part Of many
that even legislation relating to funding
will finally be postponed till next win
ter, inasmuch as the small amount of
bonds falling due this year can be re
deemed by using surplus revenues, and,
if necessary, by making a slight draft
on the coin reserve. This view may
not prevail. but there is good deal of
such talk in Congressional circles.

The Warner Bill in Congress.

The Warner Free Coinage Bill has
been taken up in the House. 1t pro
vides for the increase of the volume of
currency by the free coinage of gold
and silver certificates. 1t provides
that from its passage the issue of addi-
tional national bank notes shall
cease, and the volume Of notes
shall not be increased beyond the
amount which the banks may be emit
tied to receive at the date of the act.
For any increase of currency the minis
are to be open to the public for the
coinage of gold and silver into standard
coins on the same terms as to receipt
and coinage, gold coins to be returned
for gold bullion and silver coins for sill
yer bullion. Certificates in the denom-
tions now authorized are to be Is
sued upon the bullion and coin of the
two metals deposited with the Treasu-
rer or any assistent treasurer on the
same conditions. and to be alike re-
ceivahle for all dues to the Govern
ment. We hope the measure will pass.

GOOD AND BAD BREAKFASTS.

Mr.. Ernest Hart has been saying some
very sensible things about breakfast in
TIE .SGnitaIy R,cord. In few things do
civilized nations differ from each other
more than in the arrangements of break
fast. To eat a Scotch breakfast. for cx-
time in mountainous air and in active ex-
ercisc. Given these conditions, the por-
ridge, the Finan haddocks. the omclcttes,
the ham, the trout, the cold grouse, the
hot ''SconeS. the Strawberries and cream,
the tea and coffee and the rest are all
that frugal taste can desire. But MIR.
Hart thinks that tea is not the right bev-
era.e ut breakfast 1t is Il stimulant to
the nerves. and the nerves should not be
stimulated 50 early in the day. To be
sure. Il pipe attelward should make that
all right, but people who do not smoke
ii they would be truly wise, should
avoid tea ut breakfast. The French take
wine. and Il good deal of il. but how
rrcnchmen can breakfast as they do and
achieve any sort of work afterward is Il
great mystery. They begin the day with
"A roll and some coffee (al>ua nerve slim
ulant. We fear. and get through much
business before noon. But how they can
attempt business for three hours after
their eA"ri liant second breakfasts no
EnSliShman can hope to learn. Break
last should be ligestble, warm. abundant,
nncXciting. nourishing.' Eggs. bacon
and toast. day after day for all ones life
are abundant, and may be nourishing,
bat are only too certainly ''unexciting.'
Mr.. Hart suggests porridge as good for
breakfast, and SO it is il the other items
of a Scotch breakfast are to follow. BY
itself it is not very filling at the price.
Here hominy has a slight advantage over
the Northern dish, but hominy is still less
exciting. Like the buckwhcat cakes of
a distinguished artist, it gets little
monotonous. llominy is eaten with
milk and sugar. but it is still better with
salt and pepper, or anything that will
give it character. In Breakfast we are
all too much the slaves of routine.

GHOSTS.

Londoa \fdHdnrd.
There is a house i'll Coatham. York
shire, in which Il weeping woman is said
to hang over the cradle of any child who
sleeps i'll a particular room. Nay, more,
one babe over whom this weird visitant
was seen to bend is reported to gaze into
vacancy and see her still, though no other
eyes are conscious of her presence. There

we'll known in London circles and his
wife and child The wife saw 4 little man
in gray coat across her bedroom one
night. and disappeared. as it were, into
the chcval glass. She said nothing about
it, but short time atterwarl. in the
same room. the nurse exclaimed that she
had seen what must have been her fathers
ghost; she knew him, she said, by his
gray coat. Still, nothing was said to
the master of the house until he, in his
turn, called upstairs to his wife in start
ling voice, and i'll his fright dropped the
candlestick. cxclaiming he had seen a
man i'll gray going up the stairs. Here
then, were three independent witnesses
OF the same ghostly visitor, evidently one
very like the ancestral spectre of the
House of Douglas.
But indeed. authentic ghost stories

by perfectly honesty observers. who, at
all events, really believe they saw that to
which they bear witness-are endless, as
are the tales OF appearances to friends and
relatives at 4 distance lust as the soul

are Il vast number. too. OF what may be
called historic ghost stories handed down
