THEN SHOULD CONGRESS MEETf


The failure TO obtain two-thirds vote in
tho House of Representatives the other day for
Senator Hoars Constitutional Amendment fix
ing the Inauguration of the next President for
April 30. 1889, instead of March 4, and length
ching the term OF the present incumbent and OF
the present Congress- probably means that no
amendment bearing upon this subject can pass
Congress now in time to be acted upon by the
State Legislatures. The sessions of number
OF them are biennial and if Congress should
finally pass some compromise between the lloar
and Grain amendments, such as a number OF
the members showed in the discussion the
other day that they favored. by that time
several Legislatures would probably have adj
journcd and no action could be taken in time
TO affect the next inauguration.
Neither Of these plans seems TO meet success
fully all the existing difficulties. The lloar
plan causes the Presidential and Congressional
terms to begin April 30. This would make
fne weather for the Inauguration prooao'e, ana
to this extent be grateful change, for Wash
lngton is usually visited about the fourth OF
March with bitter cold. The Representatives
seemed to think this consideration OF little &C
count. however. would bring the next in
auguration upon the hundredth anniversary Of
Washngton's first Inauguration. But even
" hat is called the sentimental argument cannot
be regarded very strong. 1t is true that
Washington was inaugurated April 30, but that
was, practically. an accidental date. March
fourth was the date fixed by Congress for the
beginning of the new Government, and the
delay was only because Congress. in those days

The Democrats were wise to change their minds
in regard TO the date Of their Convention. St
Louis in the first week of July is undoubtedly
one Of the hottest places on earth, and the heat
there is Of peculiarly exhausting and facilitating
quality. The statesmen who gathered there in
1876 have never forgotten the broiling they then
endured. Many Of them have lived reformed
lives since then. as their experience in the Missis-
sippi valley at that time warned them too wildly
of q possible hereafter.

The Democratic Committee retrcated with
more or less grace and dexterity yesterday and
ordered the National Convention to be held on
June in St. Louis. The Democrats will thus
get their candidate in the field two weeks in
advance of the Republicans. They are entirely
welcome TO whatever advantage is to be gained
thereby. The probability is that the active
work of the campaign will not begin till after
July's heat has sensibly abated.

A SPLENDID AFFAIR.

A Promenade Concert and Ball Given b.
the Opera House Orchestra.
The grand promenade concert and bal
given by tue Opera House orchestra last
evening, ct Arion Hail. was a great success
in every particular. A large crowd WAS
present and all were delighted with the EN-,
tertainment. The concert was one Of the
most novel and enjoy able ever given in
Wheeling, and it WAS thoroughly enjoyed.
The programme opened with a march,

tasia for cornet, THE Trumpet has q
Hole" by Schreiner was next on the pro-
gramme, and was followed by a waltz
Dina" from "Cspprieciosa." Then
came the funny performance of tho even
ing. This was the appearance of "a Ger
man band which had been collected to-
gether to play at Fulton park this sum-
mer, and such an assorted and yaIigated
lot Of musicians probably never got into
one bunch. They were introduced to the
audience by Mr.. II. B. Grimm, the char
aeters being as follows: Director Kul-
lecke," Mr.. Thee. Roller; "Blssist
August" John Fischer; "Oboist," H. b.
Grimm; "Fagottist Pinneberg," Z. Dietz;
'FlOetist Kickebusch," A. Rsymann
"Concertmeister Bampel," E. w. Spell;
"Bratschist Gottlieb,n F. Feinler; Fran
Gustel Kullecks," W. Paul. The mem
berS of the band were alfred in costumes
that fairly brought down the house on &C
count Of their variety. There were plug
hats, linen clusters, straw hats, old band
suits, etc, etc. As Director Mr.. Roller
made a great hit, his effJrts Ia that line
fairly making the spectators scream with
laughter; and when the band played, the
building shook with merriment. The
worst little German band" that ever
struck the city couldn't compete with it,
and when "Concertmeister Bumpel' at.
tempted to play q solo on the flute nothing
could be heard bat the accompaniment,
and ii was q mixture Of base drum, Gym
balls, bass horn and trombone. Ia fact the
band played 80 badly that the audience
made them do it over again. 1t was fol.
lowed by a telephone polka. At the end
OF every bar Of music the telephone rang
and the music had to cease while Mr..
Huseman answered it. He got of a num-
her of funny hits on the membsra. This
number concluded the splendid pro-
grawme which was loudly s~pplaudsd all
through.
Then the hall wa Cleared and the grand
march opened the ball. Supper was
served in the dining room from II till /
O'Clock, and it was heartily enjoyed. The
orchestra had arranged a splendid pro-
gramme Of dance music, and it was carried
out to the delight of all present. The
affair was a highly enjoyable and success
full one.
