Brice was brainy fellow and his name was
proposed. The rule Of the society was that
one black ball would prevent the election of
candidate. The members of the fraternity
demanded who had cast the opposing vote
and they found that 1t was young autocrat

Brice In the fraternity because he was poor
fellow and had not what he considered A
high enough social standing. The remaining
members OF the fraternity were, however.
so desirious of admitting Brice that they in

itself into one of himself or Brice. and that

was that Brtce became member of the ID.

while they had control of the House they are
naturally anxious that their opponents shall
not do anything. But Speaker Reed is re-

not allow the adoption of rules under which
the majority can act, the Republicans will
defeat the adoption of any rules at all thus
leaving the business of the House to be car

not inaction, the Democrats are bound to be

A proposition is again before the Senate to
have the executive sessions of that body
public. While the proposition is not with
out merits. it is by ne means free from evils
The most of the business considered in ex-
ecutive session is the confirmation of nomi-
nations to public office. 1t is question
whether the consideration of these nominal
lions in public would not have tendency to
restrict the freedom of discussion concern
ing the character and capacity of the nomi-
nees, which is necessary to enable the Sem
ate to act Understandings. There might be
some things fairly entitled to consideration
which the Senators who were knowing to
them would hesitate to disclose in a
public session. On the other hand, public
sessions would tend to prevent the rejection
OF nominees simply on account Of spite, or
because the nominee had incurred the dis
like. on political or other grounds. of some
Senator. Whether, therefore, on the whole,
the public interests would be hurt or helped
by throwing open the doors of the Senate, II
is exceedingly difficult to say. Perhaps as
strong all argument as any for open sessions
lies in the fact that sooner or later almost
Everything said or doEe in executive session
