HIS Reply.

Many an English coachman rallied q

shouted, in thought U not in words, -
they witnessed from the top Of the box

two anecdotes. which illustrate the :old-
fashioned Jehu's chagrin at being bsat-

The presentation of vast members of
bills to legislative bodies in the United
States, for whlcl, nobody assumes the
responsibility, has brought out the fact
that in the English legislature no bill is re-
ceived unless sponsored by the Govern
ment or by two members Of the House,
and in the latter case only upon leave
granted. 1t is thus made impossible for
any measure TO be introduced without a
responsibility for it resting upon some
body within the reach and power of the
chamber. In the state legislature Of the
United States, and the National rs well,
members feel obliged to introduce al
most anything sent them by their con-
stituents for which nobody in particular
is willing to stand as sponsor.

News from Washington lring the
summer months consists principally of
what newspaper men call padding.
There is very little important matter to
be telegraphed but the quantity must be
maintained, and so the reporters give
what they hear amopg.the departments
and on the street. about persons who are
of very little account. As an example
of this practice, one disguised editor
says: eve know of one man whose
name was known by the press dispatch
es throughout the nation five or six
months, who all that time was sponging
his board off poor woman who kept a
boarding house and has not paid her
yet" Another example for padding is
the daily report that President Arthur
sends bouquets to lady friend in New
York, and of his daily life at the White
House or at the soldiers home-when
he rises, when he dimes, when he rides
and when he goes to bed. A reform in
the business would make journalism
more respectable.

The Chicago Tribune publishes its
"twenty-first article on Chicago as sum.
mer resort" which afiirms that "Chi-
cago continues to enjoy that delightful
coolness which has. always characterized
her, and which has secured for her such
widespread re eputation as the favorite
place of summerresort." 1t proceeds
10 tell what vast numbers ofpeople from
New Orleans, st. Louis and all the hot

average Chicago man that no place can

glad to get out Of that frying pan during
the summer months.
