Grains Amendments.

The amendments to the Federal consti-
tuition introduced by Representative Grain.
Of Texas, changing the dates for the
meeting Of congress and the inaugurs-
ton OF the President. are being COM
mented on very favorably. They pro-
vide that the terms of congressman shall
begin Dec. 81, little less than two months
after the election, and that the President
shall be inaugurated April 80. A new CON-
gress, therefore, would meet Jan. l.
These amendments possess. several ad-
vantages over existing laws. Congress
men would be fresh from the people and
more in touch with their wishes.
The spectacle would not be presented Of a
congress entirely out of harmony with the
will of a majority Of the people. legislating
as if there had been no change in public
sentiment since it was elected The billion
dollar congress. for instance, continued to
make laws for the country for whole ses-
sion after IL had been repudiated.
There is another advantage in the pro-
posed change. A large part OF the time Of
a congressman would not be taken up dur
ing the first session of congress. as it is at
present, in carrying on a campaign for a
reelection. The first session is the impor-
tant session, anda congressman's whole time
ought to be given to his legislative duties.
If his term, however. begun on Dec 81, he
would not bother about his campaign for
reelection until toward the end of the sec
ond session.
Representative Grain was not the first to
suggest a charge of the Inauguration of the
President. The suggestion is supported by
very good reasons. The first President was
inaugurated on April 30, and on that date
the weather is much more apt to be pleas
ant than on March 4. Tens
Of thousands OF people from
all parts of the country are present at
the inauguration ceremonies. If the
weather is inclement, as it generally is
hundreds Of them contract colds which de-
velop into serious diseases.
1t takes long time to amend the federal
constitution because Of the delays, for vari-
GUS reasons, of state legislatures in passing
upon an amendment. 1t is probable, how.
ever, that il congress- should pass Rep
resentative Grains amendments the neces>
sary two-thirds of the state legislatures
would ratify them.

eana,or Bfu and tbs Nomlns,,on.


The question whether Senator Hill is i'm
proving his prospects for the nomination he
is seeking By his southern trip is being dis
cussed in al parts Of the country. From
( the fact that he is making more speeches
/ than he intended when he left Washington,
and that he will visit, probably. several
places that we're not in bis original pro-
gramme, il is fair to assume that be Is en-
tirely satisfied with the impression be is
making There is no doubt that his rscep-
ton all along the route he has Travelled has
been very friendly. Hehas had large audi
ences and he has heard q great many ex-
pressions of opinion undoubtedly which
have pleased him and increased bis conf
dence in his success.
But it is doubtful IL his southern visit will
greatly help his cause. The crowds that
have greeted him wherever he has stopped
do not mean that he is a popular favorite or
that be is being honored for some act that
has made deep impression upon the hearts
of the people. They mean that he is recog-
nized as a prominent and successful public
man, who is a candidate for the nomination
OF bis party for President. Indeed, the south
ern people know comparatively little about
Senator Hill. He has played no part in
national affairs and has had nothing TO do
with questions which directly concern
them. They have no reason, therefore, to
have any great regard for him. Whatever
sentiment there is In his behalf among them
is due to the success he has achieved in state
politics and the belief that his shrewdness as
political manager would make him a suo-
cessful candidate for the presidency.
But has this sentiment in bis behalf been
strengthened by his visltl 1t is doubtful.
The southern people have a very high regard
for the Office Of President. and they cannot
be favorably impressed by the very con-
spicuous manner in which Senator Hill is
seeking it. They may admire his shrewd-
ness as politician, but they will hardly APP
prove his methods for gaining his object.
The speeches he has delivered have not
made much impression either In the south
or the north. They are good speeches, and
show the senator to be a man of marked
ability, but they do not arouse enthusiasm.
Some things upon which the public would
like a positive expression of opinion are
skillfully avoided.
Senator Hill, when he returns to Wash
ington, will have the satisfaction Of know
ing that he has made some strong personal
friends in the south, but after he has heard
from the differents parts OF the country as
to the effect OF his southern visit upon his
canvass it is doubtful If he will regard the
visit as having improved his prospects for
the nomination.

The Oentrars Receivership Case.

me OSntrAFS hecelVer9nlp case.
1t is not improbable that those who think
the case involving the legality of the Geor-
gia Pacific's lease Of the Central and the ap-
pointment of 8 permanent receiver for the
latter road will be decided very quickly
after it is taken up next Thursday will be
disappointed. A fair conclusion from the
statements in the intervention and the an
swer to the original bill is that great deal
of testimony will have TO be taken before
the court will be prepared to act upon the
issues presented in the pleadings. IL Is a
question OF fact whether the leasing of the
Central to the Georgia Pacific tends to de-
stroy competition. In the answer to Mrs.
Clarke's bill, it is denied that the Central
and the Richmond and Danville are
competing systems. and it Is as
serted that the East Tennessee. Virginia
and Georgia system is an independent one
1t may not take great while to satisfy
the court as to whether the tendency of the
lease is to destroy competition, but good
deal Of testimony may be necessary to
satisfy il as to whether the allegation that
the Richmond and Danville is permitting
the Central property run down is true. In
the Centrals answer it is asserted that the
physical condition of the property is as good
now as when the lease was made. Doubt
less good many witnesses will be called
on each side of this question and no one can
tell how long the taking of testimony will
continue. 1t would not be surprising if the
court should appoint master to take testi-
mony. In that case it would take a week or
two before the case would be ready for
argument. From present indications, there
fore. decision may not be rendered before
the middle of April.

In No Mans Land.
The ACADEMY.

The academy.
Two shapes were walking on the strand
One stariit night IN no mans land;
Two shapes that during mortal life
Gave hate for hate. in deadly strife.
They met. Swift forth their falchions few;
Each pinned the other through and through,
Yet neither fell. Again they strove
For mastery, and madly drove
To right and left their falchions bright.
Nor sound nor cry profaned the night.
Through corselet, casque and visor, too,
AS through the air their swift blades flew;
Until, amazed. they stood aghast,
And on the sands their weapons cast
Then laughed they both at mortal strife,
The passing dream of earthly life,
And clasplng each the others hand
They walk the shades Of no mans land.
