ssms Of the Meni.l Onces Which They

have always thought, says Henry
Labouchere in the Forum, that it is
somewhat unfair that moneys expended
in buying peers should be credited to
the civil list of the sovereign. If the
business Of the house Of lords can be
carried on only by such means, it should
be openly svowed, aud parliament
should be asked TO vote the necessary
reptile fund" Whenever il is sug-
gested that members of the house Of
commons should be paid, the proposal
Is denounced by the party to which
the vast majority of these greedy rep
tiles belong, as something degrading to
the dignity of parliament; and yet these
very peers snaH and quarrel over the
distinction of highly paid court posts
among themselves, whenever their
party comes into power, like a pack of
hungry ours over some bones that are
thrown into their kennel. What would
be thought, in the United States, of the
senate, were each incoming president
able to distribute salaries to some thirty
senators for performing ceremonial
duties about his person or about that of
his wife? Would the senate be deemed
independent Of the executive werc it
possible to give senator from the
north many thousands Of dollars per
annum for walking backward before
the president with a white stick, sem
ator from the south huge income for
looking after the presidential dogs, and
tho wife Of a senator from the west a
big salary for presiding over the gowns
and petticoats Of Mrs President?

SPRING. is REALLY HERE.
There May BE Another Cold Wave Ii
1t VIII Not Last Long.

There May Be Another Cold Wave But
1t VIII Not Last Long.
We have the word of Sergeant Cox
that spring is really and truly here.
For several weeks the weather has been
the great subject of conversation, and
everybody was complaining until Sun
day, when there was change for the
better and to-day everybody is perfectly
satisfied.
AS matter of fact this has been a
curious spring. Sergeant Cox says that
the temperature has been far ahead of
the temperature for the same period in
former years. There have been many
more warmer days, yet everything has
been unusually backward. The reason
for this lies in the fact that while there
has been more heat this spring, it has
been more evenly distributed. Last
spring there were in March many warm
days. But there were also very many
cold days. This year it has been mod
crate. So while the vegetation was
growing on the warm days and endur
ing the cold days as best it could las
year, this year the more equal distribu
ton of heat has prevented the new
leaves and the new grass from appearing
at all. So while the spring has seemed
to be- backward, it has IN reality beel
more nearly a genuine spring than we
have had for some time.

NEW HAVEN, April 16.-To-day Coro-
ner Mix began to Investigate the death
of Miss Gallagher, who lost her life
Tuesday in an elevator accident at G.
Cowles & Co.'S factory on Water street.
1t will be remembered that the woman

apparatus of the elevator and she was
drawn over the edge and crushed to
death. There is a rumor that her death
was caused by carelessness more than
anything else, and if this is proven to be
so it is likely that case may be brought
against the owners of the elevator in
