By reference to the proceedings OF the
Senate, as they have appeared during the
week, It will be seen that this part-nnd this
only-of the legislative mechanism has be.
gun the serious and weighty business Of the
session as IL duly mindful Of the amount
and importance of the work expected OF
the forty-niuth Congress.
1t is true that the Senate is always an or
ganized body, while the House is recreoted
once in two years. 1t is true, also, that the
Senate is small, compact, aud manage
able body, while the House is large, natu-
rally inclined to disorder, and difficult Of
restraint.
But II there be no radical defect In our
system these two coordinate branches
of the legislative department should be able
to work with something like an approach
to similarity Of expedition. 1t is abso-
lutely indispensable to the progress of nee
essary legislation that the House should put
itseIr III conuIuon TO do two or three times
as much work In a given time as 1t has been
in the habit of doing.
For years past the most valuable part Of
| the work to which the Senate has given it;
best efforts for many months has beer
thrown away, because Of the inability of tht
| House TO give 1t consideration before the
death Of Congress.
For as many years past the most impor
tant work Of the House has been tumblet
into the Senate in huge and almost indi
gestible masses during the closing hours o
sessions, neccssitating reckless haste in it.

the only criticism would be that he did not

end II was mixture Of fun and pathos,
wit and wisdom, 80 happily interspersed,
and so admirably and naturally delivered,
that the audience were carried from the
serious to the ridiculous almost before 1t

have received new Ideas OF parental duty,
and fresh insight into the workings of the

The scenes Of every boys life depleted aud
when IN his narrative the curtain fell on the
completed cycle of one boys existence, the
audience departed with the sense Of fresh
insight into nature, one touch Of which
