The foregoing is pertinent inquiry,
and doubtless has suggested itself TO
the minds of many philosophical
statesmen, hut they have become so
accustomed 10 legislation outside of
the constitution" by the dominant
party, and objections and remon-
strances have been made SO frequently
and In vain, that their utter futillty
has been recognized. In this lies the
one important difference between the

Republican and Democratic parties.
The former take latltudinous con-
struction Of the constitution for their
guide, and the Inter adhere toa strict
construction, rs IL was intended they
should by 'tl.e fathers." II is to be
hoped when the Democrats are once
more In power that there viii bc a re-
turn to the constitutional methods in
vogue when they surrendered the
reins Of government.

a REMEDY for evil always appears
after the evil Is past. Since the recent
hotel fires, no less than one hundred
different devices for protection to
guests have sprung up in the prolific
minds of philanthrophists and when
the next hotel fire occurs the country
will have alaw for the protection Of
hotel guests against lire--in its mind.
The kind hearted members ofcongresss,
many of them, always have noble
plans In their bosoms for the relief Of
their suffering constituents, but
they are always waiting around like
MIcAwBER for something 10 turn up
to suggest the practical uses of these
noble plans. Then they crop out and
while being agitatcd the popular de-
mand for them ceases and they never
materiali2e. Mr.. BLAND of Missouri
has framed II bill which he will pre-
sent to congress FOR passage, providing
for rope ladders, which are about rs
fatal during fire ms the flames them
selves. Thcy have been in use for years
in many public houses, and there is no
record of any one ever being saved by
one of them. His bill provides for
iron balconies, with stairs leading from
one story to the other, which is little
more practicable, hut about the best
method OF protection would be to hang
few of the base incendiaries who de-
libcrately touch the torch which burns
70 death hundreds Of human beings,
to hide his own crime, or
business embarrassment, This would
at any rate have tendency to check
the flames until a better method can
be devised and put into practice.

many of the memories OF the
eventful past, and her sweet
face, lady.like grace, calm and
gentle voice, as she expressed
her great JOY at meeting them,
stirred their hearts and secured
for her all the love and venera-
ton they once had for her faith
or. After applying . glowing
tribute to General Morgan, Or
ator Black, turned to Miss Nor.
gan who rose gracefully at his
greeting. He told that his com.
raider, who had loved her Illus.
trious father while living and
|revered him while dead, had
accorded him the pleasing task
Of conveying to her from them
. gentle token of the faithful al
legiance which her father enjoy
ed and the warm admiration
they felt for her. He became
eloquent as he proceeded with
them, and closed by saying that
"never since the days Of ancient
chivafry did gallant knight
crown a fairer queen" and han
ded her a velvet case contain
ing a handsome gold watch and
chain.
She stood up bravely under
tho trying odeal, during which
old eoldiers' eyes were blinded
by unrestrained tears, and turn
ing to the sea of faces she said :
"Dear friends, l can't begin to
tell you how happy you have
made me, and how grateful l
feel to you for it. I assure you
that l love you rs dearly as my

A Battlefield Romance.

Almost every family and in
dividual here has some bit OF
romance Ia connection with the
late war. To-day at Q musicale,
to which I was kindly invited,
l met q lady whose talents as q
musician and whose remarkable
beauty had attracted my atten.
ton. She possessed that rare
type of prettiness that Is wholly
Southern. Great deep blue
eyes, the face perfect in every
feature, hair rich in its abund'
ance and wonderful in it's tint.
This is the story: Twenty years
ago, when tho tide of battle In
long bloody waves swept over
the terrible field Of Manassas, q
baby girl was left an orphan on
the battle ground. During the
changes of the fateful day the
home of the blue eyed girl was
at one time directly between
fire of both armies. As the first
shots whistled above the house
the parent started to fee for a
place of refuge. A dozen yarde
from the door both were shot
down, and the baby On orphan
without sister or brother, was
alone in the world. The day
wore away, and just as the. suns
last rays, half hidden in the
curling smoke, sadly kissed the
earth good night, General Ju
bal Early, riding by, heard thu
baby's cries. He dismounted
and taking the little waif up
cared for It until he could place
it under the care of his sisters
They watched il through its in
fantile years, giving it an edu
cation and a world Of love, ant
now that baby, grown to woman
hood, lovely and accomplished
the pet Of q circle OF friends
who call her "Waif," is the sol
support of those two wOmeI
noble and true. She talked t
me modestly, yet gracefully Q
her carly years, and her beaut
, full eyes filed with tears IA sh
spoke of her two old friends.
