THE SENATE KICKS
AZ what IL Calls n Violation of al
Precedent by the House.

The House Committee on Appropriations
has taken It upon itself, in violation Of all the
rules OF decency and propriety and at vari-
ance with all the precedents, to dictate to tho
Senate how Its appropriation for contingent
expenses shall and shall not DO expended.
After enumorating each item and amount,
this proviso is inserted; "That no part OF the
money appropriated by this act shall BIO OK
pended for clerical services for any Senator,
Representative or Delegate In Congress-"
This has evidently boon done TO forestall, as
far as possible, any effort on the part OF tho
Senate to secure an appropriation out OF which
clerks for Senators, appointed under the reso-
luton OF tho Senate, can be paid.
Each house has hitherto stoutly maintained
IFS right TO manage Its own affairs to suit It.
self, and very properly 30.
Members OF the House are jealous because
the Senate has provided its members with
clerks, but tho necessity for clerks for Sena-
tors 10 much greater. Take the State OF New
York, for instance. That State has thirty four
Representatives and but two Senators. In
many instances, doubtless, one OF the Sena.
tors from that State VIII have as many corre-
spondents In any given district as tho Repre-.
sentative from the district; so the demand
upon tho Senator is many, many times greater
than upon Representative, and II necessa-
rily follows that the interest OF the public
service demands that something be done for
their relief.

The Ola charm gone.

Geo. VIM. Curtis In Harper's for June.
Many an old clubman, as he sits musing
amid the later splendors OF Its estate, recalls
the earlier days Of It's happy moderation with
the ardor OF Beranger In remembering his
attic. He does not personally know all the
members now as then. The peculiar character
and tone OF the club Is not the same. That
distinctive cdchet, as In the days when he had
recently left Paris he was wont to say, as IL
pardon his native tongue were clipping
little from his grasp-that cdchet is certainly
changed. The excellent man yonder, you say,
10 in the cheese line? Yes: ahl we'll, the carl
luoght and the 6eiH 9lo,ni are faded little, are
fast vanishing
OR is the veteran mistaking lament over
his lost youth for the threnody OF q changed
club? Is 1t the club.man and not the club
that Is translated However that may be, he
10 not mistaken In thinking that never In that
ancient day OF his youth would q fellow.mem-
Der have asked court Of justice to keep him
IN smoking-room or chatting-room or n
reading.room where he was not wanted; or
Invoke IL TO interpret the rules OF tho club re-
speeding Its own membere. He may we'll feel
that IL club is a luxurious lounging. house
and nothing else, and that a member Is not TO
be disturbed except upon strictly legal COM
pulsion, ike the occupant OF n seat at the
opera, Ia bonnie heitre, as they used TO say In
Paris In his time, then the social bond which
was the old charm OF club Is gone. A club
regulated by the courts Ia not the club that
the veteran knew. Men who bIackguard each
other In tho club-houses and appeal to the
courts TO prevent them from being expelled
are not the tho club.men OF his youth. The
club palace may DO finer, hut the club pleas
ure is less. Three blackballs used TO make a
gentleman Vince, and gentlemen only were
held 10 be clubable mon. But the order OF n
court TO decide who is clubable-does DR..
johnson hear that?
the melody OF an old opera-new times, new
men, new clubs.
