REED'S REFUSAL.
The Speaker Was Bound by the Rule
Mo- ptscourtesy intended.

No Discourtesy intended.
Editor fritic TnE CRiTIc OF yesterday
contoihcj a story to the effect that Speaker
Reed hadrefuscd to extend The privileges
Of the House TO Mr.. William J. Lane,
member OF Parliament for County Cork,
Ireland, when requested 10 Do go nv Rop-
rcscntntives O'Neill of Massachusetts,, Mo
Adoo of New Jersey and Quinn of New
York. In Justice to Mr. Reed | will state
that before the arrival Of Mr.. Lane at The
Capitol and previous to the time the re-
quest yas-nade, -Mr. Feed soHtme word
through his clerk, NY. Hines, that he
would be glad to have Mr. Lane occupy
the Speakers private pow in the Members
Gallery, and also that he would be glad to
meet Mr.. Lane. Mr.. Quinn, however,
took Mr.. Lane under his guidance before
! had chance to tell him Of the Speakers
invitation and II was as Mr.. Quinn's guest
that Mr.. Lane went TO the Members Gal
lory.
] understand that Mr.. Reed could not
grant the request because the rules of the
House gave him no authority TO do so.
The rule governing admission to the floor
is as follows
"Thc persons hereinafter named, dH1
Ho',o Other, shall be admitted to the Hall of
the House or rooms leading thereto. viz:
The President and Nicc-Presidcnt of the
United States and their private secretaries,
Judges Of the Supreme Court, members of
Congress and members-elect contestants
in election cases during the pendency of
their cases in the House, the Secretary
and Scrgeant-at-Arms of the Senate,
heads OF Departments, foreign Minis
ters, Governors of States, the Architect of
the Capitol, the Librarian of Congress and
his assistant in charge of the law library
such persons as have, by name, received
the thanks Of Congress, eX-members of
the House of Representatives who are not
interested in any claim or directly in any
bill pending before Congress- and clerks
of committees when business from their
committee is under consideration; and 70
shat not Dc ia or,icj for The Speaker 10 enter
tain q request for tie suspension Of His rule
OF 10 present from The CHAIR Ne request Of
dRy momJcy for WaGnimons consent"
| am sure that Mr.. Reed intended no
slight to Mr.. Lane, whom he had never
seen and of whose political beliefs he
knew nothing. Respectfully,
RGCHAED V. OULhIIAS.

EDITORIAL PERSONALS.

If the Hon. Jerry Simpson, is really in
doubt as to whether it Is his head or his
feet to which he is indebted for his fame
somebody should kindly assist him in ar
irving at a conclusion by informing him
that his head had nothing to do with it,
Chicago Ners.
Here are the names Of the Republican
Senators who voted on Monday to lay
aside the Force bill, James Donald
Stewart, Henry NJ. Teller, William Drew
Washburn, and Edward oliver Wolcott.-
Ne,o York San.
The Lee holiday idea continues to spread
down in Dixie. North Carolina has just
legalized it, too.-BOston Herald.
General Raum's son horses carry high
tails because they are proud of being
groomed by Government employee

The defeat of Senator Pierce in North
Dakota cuts short the career of man
who has given promise of decided success
as q practical and useful legislator, not
withstanding the fact that he once wrote
a play and lacked the presence of mind to
keep 1t to himself.-Si. Louis Globe Demo
craf.
Mr.. Cleveland at the Police Department
dinner gave his hearers to understand
that the office of Sheriff is good stepping
stone from which to climb to higher
things. The ex-President would have
made his interesting remarks still more
engaging IL he had added: "Now, gentle
men, the trouble with Governor Hill is
that he was never Sheriff" II Is by
such apt illustrations as this that the true
orator discloses himself.-New York Trib-
une.
RIDSy do you nGss 3hsss hGw quiet and silent Mr.
Have you also noticed that when the
Republican party is especially stupid and
blundering Mr.. Blaine always seems to
be asleep?
Why is this thus? Well, Blaine doesn't
propose to hang himself Just because his
party is trying to commit suicide.-Ne0
York Herald.
The most remarkable feature about DR..
]. II. Gallinger, the new United States
Senator from New Hampshire, appears to
be his eyes-cold, fireless, dead-looking
organs, as rayless and pittiless as section
OF rectangularly bisected hard-boiled egg.
The eyes and the ferocious mustaChe Just
below them give to the New Hampshire
statesman the truculent aspect invariably
associated with the doorkeeper of the
average far-Western variety theatre
Chicago N6cs.
Mr.. Lane, member of Parliament for
Cork, was visitor at the Capitol yester-
day.
It is customary on such occasions to
grant guests the privileges of the floor.
The Senate extended this courtesy and
Mr.. Lane was introduced to the Senators
by Mr. Carlisle
In the House, however, Speaker Reed
not only refused the request made by
Congressman Quinn, but did II with in
sulting bluntness.
Reed is laboring under the hallucina-
ton that the manners of the Maine back
woods are all that can be required of him.
Others seem to think that the Presiding
Officer of the House should be a gentle
man. We are inclined to agree with the
"others. .n-Ne,o York Herald

Wedding RehenrsaIs.



To rehearse, or not to rehearse, is the
question just at present
Is II better for people who are married
for the first time TO take their chances
and enter church in heter-skelter, or TO
go through the form in advance
The rector of one of the most fashion,
able churches for weddings AYERS that
marriage rehearsal is altogether sacre-
ligious and quite unnecessary, the
American service is so short and simple.
The rehearsals Of the Robbins-McVickar
nuptials were quite q feature for some
days previous to the imposing spectacle at
Grace Church on Wednesday. The ten
bridesmaids, supplemented by maid of
honor. best man and six ushers, were
patiently drilled and arranged, evening
after evening, prior to the event in the
Robbins home. The young women were
first arranged according to their height
and then as to their complexion, fair and
dark walking together in couples. Miss
Amy Bend was paired with Miss Snllie
Hargous. Such pains were taken that
bow.knots of white satin ribbon were tied
ON certain pews to call attention of the
bridesmaids to the proper hating places
of the procession. Bridegroom McVickar
probably had an artistic eye to the effect
Meanwhile the wedding rchearsals go
ON vigorously. The church is engaged on
the previous evening for the final dress
affair prior to the event, and this In spite
Of the superstition that i'll luck will follow
the couple when the bridegroom sees the
bride in her wedding garments before
going to the ceremony.
The clergyman quoted, who is an au-
thority on weddings, says that when he
ofllciated, as he did for number of years
in England, he invariably found that the
bride was late, while in this country they
are always on time. One of the English
men visiting here whose height fully
equals his position at home, was quite
charmed with our service at the latest
Anglo-A merican marriage, and observed
II would be rather n pleasure to go
through with ii than otherwise.
The next innovation will be having the
English service read in its entirety.

In ANOTHER column of THE CRITrc to-
day we publish the translation of an
article by NJ. WEYI, the famous French
authority ON naval matters. NJ. WEYL
was once an officer in the French navy
and has practical as, well as theoretical
knowledge of the subject under discus
sion. il seems that in France rs here the
question of the personnel OF the
Navy is occupying attention. Quite
recently committee was appointed
10 investigate the matter and report
ns to the facts, and this article by
NJ. WEyL contains his comments on the
report. 1t will repay perusal by all those
who are interested in the Navy.i
We may observe that everything VI.
WEYL says of the French service applies
with equal force to ours. Like the
French officers, ours are not promoted
until long after they have reached the
age suited to such promotion. They are
Ensigns when they ought to be Lieuten-
ants, Iieutenants when they ought to be
in command and Captains when they
ought to be Admirals. By the time an
Admiral, in this country, acquires the ex-
perience of commanding n squadron, he
is ripe for retirement. The sole exception
TO this rule will be Admiral WALKER, who
still has six years to serve. Most of our
captains have had very little sea service in
that grade when they go up TO flag
rank. There are commanders high up on
the list who have seen no sea service or,
mt best, only few months. Some COM
manders do no duty at all, others are re-
garded as unfit for anything important,
still Others are agents for private business
firms here or abroad
1t is claimed on behalf of the young,
vigorous and ambitious officers who chafe
under these formidable obstacles in the
way of promotion that the lists ought to
he purged and the obstacles removed.
There should be retiring age in each
grade as well as standard of promotion,
so that the debris can be cleared away. 1t
is common objection to this propo-
sifion that the retired list is too large
already and that public sentiment
will not approve its further enlargement.
But this objection is either disingenuous
or ignorant The expense of the naval
establishment will not be increased by
transferring officers from the active to the
retired list. Ii will be lowered. Retired
ray is not as great as active pay. To be
sure, there would follow great many
promotions in the active list, and this
would make larger disbursement there.
But the reduction Of pay to those retired
ard the total cessation of pay to those dis

AMUSEM ENTS.


Yank Hoe and the fair Omene have
emancipated themselves from all en-
tangling alliances with alleged managers
and are now proceeding to mystify and
amuse the public unfettcred by surround
ings foreign to their style of Oriental en-
tertainment. They open at Willard Hall
next Monday. Yank Hoe is q master of
the adroit arts based upon the principle of
"Now you see IL and now you don't"
He conjures and dissembles with bare
hands and with no mechanical adjuncts,
such as are common with most magicians
Hence the marvellous quality of his work
In Omenc he has q congenial spirit, who
presides at his seances like the typical
good fairy of the fables. Her "explana-
tions'-which cnlighten and amuse, but
rarely do explain the methods of Yank
Hoc-are models of what might be termed
conversational oratory. Although a
native Of the Moslem capital, her English is
purer and more aptly chosen than that of
many London celebrities. She Is alto
gether fascinating in manner and speech
and, as q keen observer remarked, "Omene
is the Mrs. Cleveland of the Yank Hoe
administration"
The Stoddard Lectures.
No entertainment now before the public

Stoddard Lectures. The general curiosity
to hear Of Mr.. Stoddards travels in the
land of the midnight sun and to get his
account of "The Passion Play at Ober-
ammergau is so great that it is with diff
Guilty that the management was able to
provide seats in Boston, Philadelphia or
Chicago for all who wished to attend
Although there will be more room this
season than in the places where Mr..
Stoddard has heretofore appeared in this
city, il has been found necessary to pre-
vent disappointment, to give the lectures
twice over. They will take place at
Lincoln Music Hall in two courses, exactly
alike, as follows: Course A, February O.,
II, 10, II and 10; course B, February 10,
u, 10, Is and 20. The list Of subjects Isl:

Sweden, Queen of the Baltic" Norway,

Passion Play of 1890 at Oberammergau."

courses will begin next Monday at the
box office, to be continued afterwards at

Ftcm he Philadelphia Tnquirer-Rddicdi Rep.
Politicians may howl, and frantic news
papers may shrek, but the good, sound,
common sense of the great mass of busi-
ness men of the United States will warmly
welcome the action of the Senate in lay
ing aside the Elections bill. This vir-
tually means the defeat of the bill. 1t Is
out Of the way, and if this action had
been taken at the beginning of the session
II is not yet too late to do something.
There are measures before Congress of in
finitely more importance than the Elec-
tions bill, which could have accomplished
nothing but stir up strife, and it is to be
hoped that the Senate after Its waste of
time, will at last settle down to solid

TnE CINCINNATI Commercial Gazette says;
As sage advice to young men Governor
CAMPBELL warns them against entering
politics with an idea ef receiving the
rewards of an office" The same aGp0n-
ishmcnt may be given the Governor
against entering the field again for the
office he holds, for he can hardly get the
nomination, much less the election. The
Democratic party of Ohio, so far rs Gov
ernor CAMPBELL is concerned, is "all
broke up" His enemies are numerous
and outspokcn in Hamilton County, and
lnrk in the brush-patches throughout the
State.
Governor CAMPBELL is to be congratu-
lated in the enemies he has made. He
has given oflcnse to none that we can
hear of except the corrupt and disropu-
table spoilsmen of his own party. lf he
cannot obtain u denomination so much
the worse for the Ohio Democracy. That
fact--if, indeed, it be fact-will prove
simply that the Ohio Democrats do not
admire clean and patriotic administra-
ton, such as Governor CAMPBELL has
given to the State.

His style is unmistakable. One cannot
hear two bars without saying, "Thats
Chopin" and yet what infinite variety in
spite of this striking individuality! They
are like orchids, these tone-poems, pre-
serving family likeness amid an endless
variety of forms. What blindness to un-
derrate Chopin, as most critics used to do,
because he wrote hardly anything but
short pieces. Are not brevity and sim
plicity the soul of artp Does it not require
greater genius to stir the soul to its inner
most depths by five-minute poem on the
piano than to do the same with n SYM
phony an hour long, requiring hundred
men FOR its performance?
