ATTACKING RGCIPRocIrY.

Representative Breckinridge has fred
the first shot ut the Mckinley bill. He
has introduced resolution in the
house of representatives instructing the
ways and means committee to submit
bill declaring that the third SECTION Of
the Mckinley bill unconstitutional.
This section provides that the president
shall or may suspend reciprocal trade
relations with such countries IS shall
fail or refuse to enter into satisfactory
relations with this country. and which
also invests the executive with author
ity to declare our ports open and free
to all the products of any nation OF
this hemisphere upon which no export
duties are imposed. 50 long as such
countries shall admit free such of our
products ~ shall he agreed upon. IL is
rather an unusua. proceeding TO AJAX
tho legislative branch OF the govern
msnt 20 perform the duties and assume
the prerogatives OF the judicial branch,
and yet tho overwhelming majority of
the house will do just these things
when is passes bill declaring an exist
sng act unconstitutional. OF course, the
house may pass such presump,uous
measure, and of corse the senate Will
refnse 20 entertain IL. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge asserts that the &C. is unconstitu.
tlonal because it eonfers power upon
the executive to impose tsxes with.
eat congressional acton. The law
speaks for itself. il contains provislons
which the executive Is called Upon to
execute. and which provisions rssul,
from affirmative congressional action.
The president srrogstes to himself &c
extraordinary power, and cannot IN.
crease nor diminish the taxation or rate
of tsxstion. bu, simply ear enforce
the alternative provided in the section
complained Of. II would seem that ths
proper place to test the constitution.
Atty ef the bill is IA the courts, but Il
deue there the democrats would lose
the benefit Of their buneomhe, buster
and bluff.

VIRTUE DULY ~ REWARDED.
A Wealthy Lady Cheerfully Parts With
aQuartcr for Her Rings.

A remarkable instance OF the depths
of human generosity was brought to
light yesterday. A prominent society
woman OF this city whose husband
owns one of the largest business blocks
on Monroe street, and whose fortune is
estimated 10y seven figures, was ar in
mate OF the sleeper which arrived here
from Chicago Yesterday morning. In
making her toilet she left three rings
on stand in the ladies' toilet room.
Two Of these rings had diamond set.
tings and the third had an amethyst.
The porter at the depot found the ring
and, as soon IS he learned who had lost
them, carried them 10 the owners
house. When he returned them the
lady, who placed high value on the
rings andsbsd been very much excited
over the possible permanent loss, Of
fered 10 give the porter dollar for the
return of her treasures, but upon hold
ing consultation with her husband, il
was decided that quarter was about
the proper figure. So she gave him q
olarter-a bright silver quarter, and
babe him 60 his way, rejoicing that
virtue is its own reward and that 4
quarter is ample recognition of the
fact. Calvin is inclined to think the
next time woman loses her rings SIN G
will come after them herself.

There is demand In the Congregational
ist churches OF Boston for preachers who are
shapely in their persons and fowery In their
speech. Preachers OF that denomination who
are not fine looking and cannot tickle the oars
OF the pews with pleasing periods are not
wanted. The Conoreoationalist gives US some
surprising revelations on this subject. Look.
for example. at these sentences:
"Ths ofiAr In charge of tho Ministerial Bureau in
Boston has many inquiries concerning the personal ap
pearancs OF candidates their orstorcA power &C. but
he says that during the past two years only two in.
quires have como to bin concerning ministers asking

must have declined sadly since the old times
OF the Msynower Puritana Its religion must

ttonalists; they require real nice preachers.
The Boston Congrogationallsts ought to
know that few OF the great preachers BY
whom religion has been promoted have been
pretty. We could name hundred OF them
who have been anything but good looking.
