One of the questions which will be raised
when the Senate meets is whether under the
tenure-of-office act a suspended official, when
his successor fails Of confirmation, can re-
sumo his office to prevent vacancy. And
on this point the language of Senator Trum-
bull when he introduced the tenure-of-office
bill in 1869 is of interest. Explaining the bill
he said that ''as matter of course, if none of
the nominations are approved, the authority
of the President to suspend under the law
expires with the session and the old officer
takes possession Of the office" He repeated
this second time in the course of his re-
marks, and when the point was made that
the President might again suspend the off
Ger who held over after the close of the SEES
sion Senator Trumbull declared this would
be "tri1ing with the statute" and that it
would also be ''trifing with the oath of
office"

From the Boston Advertiser
The Mexican Central has l.3S9
of completed road, and the sonora
another Boston enterprise, will have
when completed. about soc miles. The
Mexican National, chiefly - New
YORK cor pany, is operating about
500 miles in Mexico, at least if il, own
reports can be trusted, rs they are
not by some. The Mexican, Oriental,
lutcroceanic and International will
soon have 600 miles. The Sinaloa and
Durangoi, operating 80 miles. The five
lines now in operation are represent
ed by stock and bonds aggrcgatng
about S2OU,OOu,uUU, besides the McNi-
can railway, owned in England, which
has total stock and bond capital of
about Slj,W0OOu. These several
large interests, 10 which the people
have already taken kindly and are
adapting themselves rather faster
than was expected, will doubtless
soon be followed by tributary lines.
There can no longer be any doubt
that the railroad is IN Mexico TO stay
and that ii will result M the grandcst
and most benelicent resolution that
the country OF revolutions has ever
had.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
The "word hunt" started in Mondays pa
per has doubtless been entered upon by a
goodly number. am one of the victims,
yet not unwillingly. But am at sea for
rules to follow in rejecting or retaining
words. can make my own, but as each of
the others will do the same, there will be no
uniformity, and comparison of numbers will
be of little value. For, while all will be
likely to agree that the words should be taken
from the memory aRd not from any book,
and that plurals formed by adding or es TO
the singular should be rejected if the singular
is retained, there would be a diversity of
practice on many other points. AS instances
should one keep both mine and miner;
nice and nicer; ice and icy; crisp and crisply!
Now, in view of my trouble (Which is, per
haps, that of others also) can you not give in
your columns set OF just rules to be fol-
lowed by all taking part in this ''hunt,' thus
harmonizing our lists and setting us straight.
ONE OF THE HUNTERS
P. S.-Grandmother's note is disheartening
and also misleading. The idea is not how
many words there are that can be made, but
how many can one think of.
ABOUT the only rule that we feel like lay
ing down for the benefit of our correspond
ent is that a word is a word. We do not
see why it is not proper to both the sin
gular and the plural forms if they can be OBJ
tanned. HNicer' is also as good word as
''nice." We suppose the idea in such hunt
is to find every word that can possibly be
found, and that it is proper to take every
fair advantage in order to do so. We will
further say that we intend to publish the
longest list that is sent to this Office be-
ieving that it will be interesting. A list al
words.-ED.1
