COrnffeId Philosophy.

Birdie the tongue" was very good
maxim in it's day, which was before
brides were invented. Nowadays
bridIing the tongue only puts a guide
on it by which it can be used the more
rapidly and to greater hurt.
Never speak Ill Of the dead. They
generally have lively relatives who
will come around and settle with you
for it.
"Do unto others as you expect them
to do to you if they have chance" is
the proverb acted up to the present
day.
Honor thy father and thy mother, "
young man, so that they may leave a
will which cannot be contested in the
courts.
Live with thy friends as if they
were one day to become thine enemies, !"
said Zoroaster. Nowadays the young
men do this as if said friends were to
become their fathers-inlaw.
"The steady drip wears hole in the
rock" is all very good for the young
man who wishes that kind of thing
done to him. But "a setting hen never
gets fat" is proverb more suited to
a)ung America. Chicago Ledger.

And with a little gilt and SUCH,

But pa soon cried in wrath,

WHY THE PRESIDENT VETOED IT..
He Does Not Think Hudson Needs a
Public Building.

The President returned to the Senate yester-
day without is approval the bill for the erec-
ton of public bnildiug at Hudson, NY Hud-
son. from the best information obtainable, the
President says, is a city of only little more
than 10000 population. If the postal receipts
are fair indication Of the growth of the city
it has not been rapid as they only increased
about $4,000 in ten years. The gross receipts
for 1888 were but Sl4S0 and the Office force
consists of three clerks and five carriers. There
are no other government officers at Hudson
entitled under the law to Offices or to an allow
ance for rent. unless it be deputy collector of
internal revenue.
1t appears, he continues, from the bill and
correspondence with the supervising architect
that It is proposed TO erect a two-story build
ing with fire. proof vaults, heating and yentilat-
ing apparatus and elevators, 40 by 80 feet in di-
mensions
The ground floor area of 8 200 feet to be de-
voted to the post Office would give 400 square
feet to each Of the present employees. The sec
ond story and basement, each having the same
area, will be absolutely tenantless unless au-
thority is given by law to the custodian TO rent
the rooms to unofficial tenants.
In conclusion he says that il seems to him
to be very clear that the public needs do not
suggest or justify such an expenditure as is
contemplated by the bill

Congressman Expect "A Long Session and
Fight on the Federal Election Law.

1t is very generally believed on both sides in
the House that the session Of Congress will last
until the latter part of August at least. and
probably well into September. The republi-
cans are prepared now for apretty long session,
and while they are anxious to get away as soon as
possible, on account of the approaching cam
paign. If they have to stay until September
they expect TO put in some OF that time in an
attempt TO make a federal election law.
NOT YET IN LINE.
They have not as yet succeeded in getting
together on this question of a federal election
law, and on account of a wide difference of
opinion it was not brought up in caucus yester-
day afternoon.
A caucus to deal with this question especially
is expected to be called shortly. The southern
republicans OF the House held a conference
last night. at which Mr.. McComas presided
and had very full discussion OF this que stIou
They were practically unanimous IN favor
ing the passage of federal election law,
though they were not confident that they
should succeed. and the Lodge bill was gem
orally preferred
THE PROBABILITIES
IL the rest Of the business of Congress can
be got into such shape as TO make a tolerably
early adjournment possible the federal election
question would probably not be allowed TO pro-
long the session; but, with the prospect
OF long session anyhow. they will. at least
make the attempt to pass the Lodge bill
In view of the prospect of a long session the
President is prepared to remain in Washington

MIR. Sherman Declines to Yield the
Floor to MIR. Teller.

Senator Sherman does not like to be inter-
rupted, and he told Senator Teller so some
what phsticaIly this afternoon. The ohioan
was talking about silver and against
the Colorado idea. He quoted certain
figures from government report
and their accuracy was instantly challenged by
Senator Teller. Mr.. Sherman insisted that the
figures must be correct because they were from
a government report and then he asked what
newspaper scrap" would be brought in to con-
trovert what he had read.
Senator Teller's manner and speech were
both apOlogetic. but he insisted that the truth
had not been told He desired to correct the
statement before it reached the public. lie
was proceeding to do this when Senator In
gals, who was IN the chair. went TO Mr.. Sher-
mans aid by asking the latter whether he would
yield the floor. Mr. sherman said he would
not and then Senator Teller promised to say
something when the Buckeye statesman
got through. Mr.. Sherman answered that that
would be the much more proper way
i'll the Senate. This caused smile to circu-
late all around the chamber Almost every
body laughs just little when the dignity OF
the Senate is referred to.

SENATE.

Among the bills reported from committees
and placed on the calendar was the House bill
to establish National Military Park at the
battlefield of Chickamauga.
OPPOSED TO FREE COINAGE
The silver bill was taken up and Mr. Hiscock
addressed the Senate in opposition to the free
coinage of silver. He believed that majority
OF the people were opposed to opening the
mints of the United States to the free coinage
of the worlds silver. In his judgment the
national conventions of both political parties
would, by decisive majorities, repudiste such
proposition.
AN UNEASY GHOST.
MIR. Sherman said that he had not intended
to address the Senate until there was a practi-
cal measure before it; because the bill re-
ported from the finance committee was only
an uneasy ghost, wandering without father,
without compass, without guide. with no one
TO call for vote upon 1t and no one to demand
a solution to the difficult question.
But as he was compelled to be absent from
the Senate chamber on other important busi-
ness he avaied himself of the present oppor-
tunity of saying what he had to say now rather
than at some future time. He then proceeded
to read a written speech on the subject.
