What Mr.. Lowell Did Say.

Cn1ca2o News
Upon consulting his notes again we venture to
say that Mr. Julian Hawthorne will find that
what the Hon. James Russell Lowell did really
say this:
1.-THE Queen9 Oh. yes, have the highest ad-
miraton, respect and vener-tion for her. I'M
aglne, if you can, woman in the prime of life,
in full possession of those physical charms. those
personal graces, and those intellectual accom-
plishments which enthrall every beholder, a
woman of commanding height of willowy, lis
some figure, panther-like in her movements
with a voice like the tones of an Eolian harp,
and a laughter like the tnkling exuberance of q
sylvan cascade-pcture to yourself such being.
and you will have fair idea of the gifted and
beautiful lady who directs, and who for many
years will continue to direct, the destinies of
the august British empire.
"Of her talented aud amiable young son /
have formed the most pleasing impression
Though still mere boy, he carries upon his
slender shoulders the massive head and thought
full brain of a ripened statesman. Naturally of
studicus and contemplative turn, the Prince
has, from childhood, eschewed those temptations
which beset royal youth, and she blossoms into
manhood his expanding character holds out to
his loving country the sweetest and most fatter-
ing promises.
"Be sure, Julian, to send me six copies Of the
paper containing these observations"
Since, according to Mr.. Lowell's card, the Haw-
thorne interview substantially correct in
other particulars we think that Mr.. Hawthorne
should give the distinguished interviewer the
benefit of this revised version of the interviewer 8
remarks about the Queen and her son.

FRATERNITY INSURANCE.

Organization of National Congress Repre-
senting More than SOC, 900 Members.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-Delegates represent
ing seventeen fraternal societies, with a mem
bership of $50, 900. met at the Riggs House in
this city to-day, and organized the National
Congress of Fraternal Beneficiary Societies.
Permanent organization was affected by the
election of the following officers: Leroy An
drews, Of New York, president; ". Ell. Barnes
of California, president of the Pacific Coast Press
Association, first vice president; j. H. Butler, of
Massachusetts, second vice-presdent; R. G. Hill,
editor of the Buffalo Sunday Truth, recording
secretary; 0. Nj. Shedd, of New York, CORE
spending secretary, and Halvor Nelson, Of Wash
ington, treasurer.
A constitution was adopted of which the prin-
cipal provision is that none but legitimate fra
ternity beneficiary societies. working under a
rigid lodge system, shall be eligible to member
ship In the national Congress. The main object
of the congress is to organize among the various
beneficial orders a system of mutual informa-
ton, benefit and projection. 1t is said that a
number of business and speculative companies
are organized under titles which would lead
many persons to believe them fraternal bene
fetal societies. Protection is desired against
these companies. Among the fraternities repre-
scented by delegates are the Ancient Order of
United Workmen, ls~th 172, 900 members; Knights
of Honor, with 150 900 mem bers; Royal Arcanum,
with TO- 900 members; Order of United Anne ri
can Mechanics with 49, 900 members, and the
order of Odd fellows.

MINOR MATTERS.
An Offer to Light the BarthOldi Statue With
out Charge to the Government.

An Offer to Light the Bartholdi Statue With
out Charge to the Government.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 6-The question of
lighting the Bartholdi statue of Liberty was Off
cially brought to the attention of the President
to-day for the first time by the Secretary of the
Treasury. The President and Secretary exam
ined the laws bearing on the case. and as re-
suit the President directed that the matter be
placed in the hands of the Lighthouse Board,
with view of determining the utility of the
statue as a beacon. Mr. Golf, president of the
American system of electric lighting, suose-
quently waited on the secretary of the Light
house Board and made proposition to light the
statue free of expense to government He was
told TO put his offer In writing and it would be
considered. A member of the board, in speak
ing of the subject this afternoon, said the main
question to be determined was whether an cleo
trio light was an aid or detriment to naviga-
ton. There we're many persons who held the
latter view, and it is fact, he said, that the
electric light at He'll Gate was to be discontinued
after the 1st proximo, because it was regarded
as dangerous to navigation.

consisting of Col. Watts Sanford, of Tom Green
county, Texas, Maj. William Davis, of Maria,
Tex. Rod Hume of Deming, N. M, and Chris
OConnor. of San Simon, A. T., accompanied by
two other gentlemen who are somewhat noted
in Texas politics. but who do not
wish their names mentioned, arrived here
to-day and are heavily laden with grand
scheme to organize a new republic. They
are commissioners from the "Socialistic Repub-
lie of the Rio Grande," about which there has
been so much comment in the newspapers of
late. They state their object to be to take ad-
vantage of the excitement produced on the Mex
lean border by the Cutting incident and to in
wade the three northwestern States of Mexico
and lower California, conquer them and estab-
lsh what they call socialistic republic. They
will leave for Chicago to- morrow to submit
their scheme to prominent and leading cattle
men in attendance on the convention there It
does not likely that the subject will
be brought directly before the convention but
zone of the commissioners said some strong lob
'bylng would be done Colonel Sanford is
wealthy cattle man, Major Davis is a large
sheep-raiser, Mr.. Hume is rich freghter and
stage-owner, Mr.. O'Connor has been prominent
in mining enterprises in Arizona and the two
other Texas men are, respectively, an ex-StaJe
Senator and ex- district judge All of them de-
clare that they are in dead earnest, and seem to
have great faith IN their project.

By its most merciless censors. My argument I'M
piled and was intended TO imply, that the Re-
publican party had been wise in not adopting the
English system, with its iife-tenure and its large
pension list, and all attendant evils which have,
at least demanded investigation.
Nor would justice and fair courtesy have
been done to my speech even if my remarks on
eiyil-servce, torn from their logical connection,
had been correctly quoted by the Independent
committee. These remarks were but part of
an argument in which endeavored to illustrate
how truly American. ia its best sense, we're the
whole policy and history of the Republican
party and how under the lead OF the socalled
Independents the Democratic party, both in its
revenue system and in its civilservice rules,
was to be conformed to British policies just at
the very time when the British themselves are
finding fatal weakness in these policies. In
snort, though / did not say 30 In words, meant
10 convey my belief that the very worst leaders
and guides for continental republic are those
who persist in seeing the perfection of human
government in an insuar monarchy whose con-
dtions in all respects radically different from
those of our own broad land. The Massachu-
eetts Independents should learn that American

CoNGREssMEN's SALARIES.

How They Draw Their Pay-Southern Mem
bers Always "Hard Up"
Washington Special.
There some fifteen or twenty members of the
House of Representatives who do not draw their
pay regularly every month, but let it accumu-
late in the hands of the Sergeant-atarms, to
whom they give orders on the United States
Treasurer Among these is Congressman Bill
Scott, of Erie. Pa. He has not drawn dollar
Of his salary for the present Congress from the
Sergeans-at-arms, and there is over $4,000 to
his credit in the Office of that official, including
mileage. ETC. The majority of the members,
however, draw their money regularly. and in
several instances there are some who have over
drawn. This is done at the risk of the Sergeant
alarms, and the money advanced is that de
posted with him to the credit of those who have
not drawn for several inonths--robbing Potter to
pay Paul. SO TO speak.
There are number who do not draw cent

when they get it in lump, and during the
recess have draft sent to them on the frat

All their troubles firmly breasting,

When they looked on baby. dying.
