If a MEMBER of any State Legisla.
ture wants to get the body of which he
is a member into lively debate all he
has 10 do is to propose legislation for
bidding members to accept pass from
any railroad. The United States Sen
ate is body Of but little higher order
than State Legislature, 1t would
seem. 1t devoted most of yesterdays
session to talking about free passes. 1t
was not US lively a debate as the same
subject would have brought forth IN q
State Legislature, but there was suf
ficient to show that the members Of the
Senate are interested in it. Mr.. Ell
munds, in slightly sarcastic vein, told
exactly what the railroads mean by is
suing passes to members of Congress.
1t does not imply corruption. The
roads do not think that by pass they
can buy members vote, but simply
that if the member has pass he will
feel more justly inclined" toward the
road issuing that convenient piece of
paper; and that the same bit of paper
win enable the member to get over any
'prejudices" that he may have against
the road. If this is what the railroads
mean by issuing, 1t is not o hard conun.
drum to guess what the Senators mean
by accepting them.

FRESH complications are arising over
the fisheries troubles with Canada. A
special dispatch from st. Johns says
that the American Consul there has
been absent from his post several days
on a fishing excursion. His absence
naturally causes comment and some
apprehension. 1t is not known whether
our Consul bought his bait in a
Canadian port or whether lie sent to
this country for 1t, II the former is
the case there is cause for apprehen-
sion on the part Of the Conaul's friends,
as he may have been gobbled up by a
Canadian cruiser looking for Americans
The Washington critic., 1886-05-12

Col. GEORGE w. HOOKER of Yer.
mont, cx Sergeantat Arms of the
House, says there will not be vote
thrown against the reelection of Mr..
Edmunds TO the United States Senate.
Such is Col. 1Iooker's unbounded faith
sin his assertion that he says that even
Mr. Blaine, were he living in Vermont,
would give the Senator his support.
All which is probably not far from the
truth. Mr.. Edmuuds is unquestionably
the strongest man the Republicans of
Vermont can have in the Senate, and
he stands in nobody's way for the
Presidency.

THE APPLE-BLOOM.

Sweeter to me than rarer flowers
This spray of pnky apple-bloom,
That sheds throughout these morning hours
Its delicate perfume.
Beneath me, like foamy sea
The pear-tree blossoms toss their snow;
robin sings eXultantly
Upon his perch below.
Imark the stately elm, whose boughs
Are feathered with the farest green,
The naples whore the wrens carouse,
The lilac's budding screeni
note the nodding wealth of grass,
Dewed with the drops of opal rain,
Syringas stirred by winds that pass,
The iyy's slender skeln;
Yet naught so holds my heart In snare
AS doth this spray OF applebloom,
Freighting the amber morning air
With delicate perfume.
From II CLEAN prophecy
Of JOY for summers golden day,
When their fulhllment fair shall bo
OF all the hopes Of May.
Clinton Scollard In the Boston Tran
script.

Ex-Governor HUBBARD of Texas,
now American Minister to Japan, has
written letter to the Dallas No,os de-
nying as unfounded and malicious all
the newspaper stories about his want
of diplomatic courtesy and neglect of
duty. 1t was hardly necessary to go to
this trouble. The scribblers who have
scribbled him as boor, have only sue
ceeded in scribbling themselves as
asses. Mr.. Hubbard is an orator, q
gentleman and a man of the world, big
souled as he is big.bodied.

THE President has sent u message to
Congress recommending that an appro-
priation TO defray the expenses of the
unwilling ceremonies Of the Bartholdi
statue be made Itwould seem to be
in order to start subscription to pay
New York city for the great boon it
confers upon a grateful country by
condescending to allow the statue to be
erected on an island in her harbor.

The decision reached by the joint
Committee on Printing to discontinue
the publication Of cuts of maps, dia.
grams or other illustrations in the
Congressional Record, is probably due
to the discovery that THE CRITIC fully
occupies the field of illustrated daily
journalism in Washington.

THE Omaha Bee makes cruel and
deadly thrust at one OF the brightest
ornaments of Washington society by
suggesting that the pay of lieutenants
in the army be cut down to $75 a
month. The Bees society editor must
have recently plunged his journal into
libel suit.
