in a few plain words. Mr.. Breen's temper
is occasionally shown in debate, though he
is known as one of the most genial and af-
fable representatives. of the house. l am
told that the labor people will re-organize
their party, and that Mr.. Breen is entirely
willing to run for congress on that issue.
Nv
1t appeared in the course of Mr.. Wal
lace's speech that he will be out OF politics
during the next ten years. The reasons
for retirement were not stated, though it is
presumed they are purely professional
Mr.. Wallace has met with unusual
success in the way of public p~referment
for q man Of his years, and his retirement,
as he intimates, will not be permanent. |
have heard it said that Mr.. Wallace's next
move will be towards q congressional NOM
nation. But this is q long way OF, ten
years, if We are to accept Mr.. Wallace's
declaration. However, We all know that
different degrees of faith are to be placed
of retirement. particularly when the length
of absence is stated. About the speech. 1t
was a series of clean cut arguments, ex-
pressed with characteristic perspicuity.
know of no member who can state a propo-
sition more clearly or find more telling
points in briefer time. His suggestions in
the discussion of bills are always valuable.
In the field of oratory Mr.. Wallace's range
is more limited, because he cannot draw
| the sympathies of his audience. In = word,
| he lacks what We find in Mr.. Toole. When
/ he moves into the realms OF
| Demosthenes he is handicapped by
q sharp and penetrating voice and
a certain frigidity of manner even
when he is most earnest, Mr.. Wanace's
words come in a flowing stream and he
speaks rapidly too rapidly for the best
effect except when legal questions are undel
| discussion. His speeches indicate that he If
a lawyer rather than an orator.
~
Mr.. Howey's speech on the eight-hour bill
revealed a study of social questions, and
fancy that no great amount of arsnmen
would be needed to bring him over to Henry
Georges side of the fence. His view tina
the bill should pass because OF the rapid &C
emulation of wealth in the hands OF thu
few WAS perhaps intended as a sly appeal tt
selfish motives. As Mr.. Howey alone dis
cussed this feature, ! take it that the arRu
ment was not seriously received. His ap
peal for the miners was clothed IN goo'
language. n his debate was handicappe'
when he attempted to discuss mines witt
miners. Mr.. Howey speaks oftener thai
the other representatives, with the possibl
exception of Mr.. Wallace. He follows leg
~islation very carefully, and has a sugges
ton ready for nearly every bill. Nj
Howey is not an orator, but is a goo
speaker and receives the attention of tn
house when he does not talk too long.

Our valued contemporary, the Castle

young Helenaite:

King played on Max Waterman when he
left Castle Tuesday. II il a fact, Walter.

men they laugh and the girls they gipple
over the affair. IL WAS really cute in YOU
to provide a nice seat for Miss Waterman
alongside of yourself. and fire her dear
papa into an old bob sled, where he would
require a truss in order to sit upright. /,
WAS amusing to see how our boys enioyed
that neat and clean piece of business. One
of them came to one of the attaches Of tbi,
paper and offered to bet him 900 shares of

he held in the Mary Murphy that Walter j,

Possibly in no city in the world is there a
more interesting and beautiful, view at night
than from the grand marble terraces at the
west front of the Capitol. completed and
opened this year for the first time. High and
commanding. the location is one that COM
nends itself instantly to all who have had the
pleasure of strolling from one end Of this great
promenade to the other either by day or by
night. but especially by night. In view of this
fact and OF the further fact that Washington
in summer has so few places of open air amuse-
ment. why should there not be moonlight
promenade concerts given on the terrace dur
ing the summer months by the Marine and
other bands, say from seven to ten o'clock?
Thousands Of people, young and old, would
60 there during those hours AMI our Capitol
would possess feature scarcely possible in
any other city Of the world. Concerts are
already given early in t.e evening az the
east front, but they ar, nothing compared
with such moonligh. promenade concer. as
could at practically no additional expense
be given on the terrace, with its glorious
panorama stretching far out into mellow
moonlight, the darkness and the west.

The cost Of public funerals has increased
largely during the last few years--an increase
far in advance of the necessities il may be said
also of the decencies of the case. Great scandal
has been raised by the publication Of the expense
list Of some of the congressional funerals
That ii should take O,Oo0, SO, 600 and in
some instances 100000 to bury a member OF
Congress, who never in his life did anything
remarkable, il simply prepOsterous. Ii is
waste OF the public funds for which those who are
responsible should long ago have been rebuked-
This extravaganza is Characteristic Of no party
or house-it has crept in unawares and is sane
toned, il sanctioned at all, by only the few
persons who have charge OF such affairs. tbs
strange that there has not been a sharp over
hauling of this class of accounts by the COM
nittees Of the two houses who have control Of
expenditures The trouble has been that few
public men care 10 make a fuss about such
things because it might. if ventilated. result in
. severe netting out OF popular displeasure.
The people themselves have hardly be-
heved what has been published in the news
pspers-they have thought there must be,
surely. much exaggeration, the figures we're 30
large and the items so unnecessary, at least in
the quantities consumed. For instance, how is
it possible without official vouchers to confirm
the fact TO credit n story that wines and din
nsrs cost up into the thousands or that a special
train was indispensable in the latest instance
to take the body home for interment? 1t is to
be hoped that no false delicsey or sentiment
tally will operate next winter to prevent
thorough inquisition into these funeral junkets
that have become the disgrace OF Congress and
which. if persisted in, mus. disgrace the Ameri-
can public itself.

If the electric companies do not relax their
New York prisons under sentence of death will
have to be reduced by exposure to the forth
coming thunder storms of summer. 1t may be
somewhat tedious for criminals to sit out in the
open air all through the long hot summer of
New York state. waiting to be struck by light
ming. but really there does not seem to be any
other way to effect the execution Of the law,
and unless something is done. the criminal
population of that state will be so large that
even a Porter census will appear too luxurious
in its tropical growth TO suit the notions OF New
Workers.

General wolseley thinks that Napoleon Bona

Aristotle or Goethe was the greatest of human

latter dictum has sounder foundation, it
