SOUTHERN TITLES.
An Englishman Thought He Saw the Whole
Army and Navy in One Street Car.

Army and Navy in One Street Car.
81 am very much interested and
gratified to-day" said an Englishman
visiting the city, Ito meet by chance
all the officers of your army and navy
in one street car. OF course / do not
know the occasion which brought them
together, but they were all in civilian
dress and seemed to be jolly lot Of
good fellows"
When the Englishman said this I
could scarcely restrain my astonish-
ment. l had not heard of any con-
siderable number of army or navy Off
GERS being in the city at one time, aud
l guessed that the visitor must have
been laboring under Misrepresentation
of some kind, but I was too proud to
admit it.
"Well-er," said hunting about for
a clew, 81 hope you will remember
their names so as to give good ac-
count of them"
unfortunately" said he, 81 caught
but one of their names-that of your
commodore of the navy, a Mr.. Smith,
whose white mutton-chop whiskers and
clustering good-nature led me to be-
lieve that he was an Englishman in
disguise. All, you should be proud of
your commodore.
With this much as q starter it did
not require any extraordinary amount
of genius to picture the scene to which
the Englishman had been an interested
witness.
1t happened on Washington avenue
car, which was we'll filled with bust
ness men, at Garrison avenue, where a
short, thick, good-natured man mount
ed the steps.
Good morning, commodore"
Hello. colonel; how do you do this
morning?"
"Why, captain; how are you? Haven't
seen you for day or two"
"Howdy, major; nice morning, isn't
it? Going to be delightfully."- wet day."
"Well, if there isn't the judge. Good
morning, judge. Glad to see you ont
again"
But why continue the conversation?
You recognize it as characteristic of the
daily ride downtown on any street car
of the city. And when you come to
analyze the various titles attached to
the bunch of business men, this is what
they amount to:
The "judge'' was once a judge of cleo
ton; the commodore had been an
iron merchant and in that capacity
weighed an anchor; the 'colonel' was
on the governors military staff in time
of peace; the major" led the process

and the captain" was graduate Of

newspaper men, who are expected to
puff them in the papers which they
represent But the bill is even yet far
from being law. It must run the
gauntlet of the senate and be subjected
to many amendments which the SEN
ators in their alleged superior judg-
ment are always ready to make. In the
present congress, where a majority of
the members of the senate and house
are Of opposite political creeds, every
important bill is changed and modified
from it's original form.
When the clerk of the house brings
the enrolled bill over to the senate, and
announces that the house has passed it,
the measure is referred to the senate
committee on appropriations for their
action. In this committee it is subject
to the same delay as in the correspond.

however, its order is reached, the com.

gun, saying, in effect: 81 am able to
defend myself"
what is this singular wcapon?" de-
manded in surprise the Blackfoot
The owner of the gun replied by ask
ing him to set up a mark, which he
would pierce at a distance much greater
than that at which an arrow would
prove effective. The Blackfoot offered
the white pony which he usually rode,
but was refused. A willow wand was
thrust into the earth and instantly
cloven by the bullet, greatly startling
by the unaccustomed sight and sound
both the youth and girl, the latter of
whom now fancied that supernatural
being stood before her. The Sioux,
however, by carefully explaining the
mechanism of the wonderful gun, and
putting few grains of powder on the
fire, dispelled all superstitious fears.
The Blackfoot was now persuaded
that the stranger was a parsonage
whom it would be an honor to bring
home as guest; he therefore con-
sented to the lovers proposition, only
insisting that the youth must be con-
cealed in a bundle of skins and con-
veyed secretly to the chiefs house on a
travois. lest he should lose his life by
the rash action of some jealous brave.
Accordingly they set out next morning
at day break for the Blackfoot village,
the adventurous Sioux, hidden in robes
upon his rude conveyance, bringing up
the rear. At nightfall on the second
day they reached the village, and the
chief welcomed them hospita bly,, only
warning the stranger to beware of the
disappointed suitors of his handsome
daughter. In the morning the whole
tribe was assent led to hear the an
nouncement that the chief would give
his daughter in marriage to a young
warrior of another tribe. Here some
hot-headed youths were ready to fall
upon their successful rival. but were
held back by the chief and told of the
wonderful weapon possessed by the
stranger called the mysterious iron. "
The Sioux professed his readiness to
meet them all and challenged them to a
trial Of it's magical powers. Contempt
uously and incredulously they offered
their best ponies for mark, and this
time the offer of one was accepted.

port, which is usually amendatory Of
the bill; whereupon by unanimous con-
sent it is generally taken up for imme-
diate consideration, instead of lying at
the foot of the calendar behind all OF
the unimportant bills. The considera-
ton of each appropriation bill in the
greatest deliberative body on earth
usually takes several days, and some
times weeks. Each item and amend
mcnt must be read and explained by
Chairman Allison just as though it were
a separate bill. One by one these
amendments are gone over, some being
rejected and others retained, until the
entire bill has been overhauled. OF
course, this gives unlimited opportu-
mites for speech making by senators
whose interests lie with the adoption or
rejection of some item or amendment.
Upon the question of the final passage
of the bill, the vote of every senator is
recorded upon the journal so that their
constituents and the country at large
may know exactly how they stand on
the question of government expendi-
lures. After the bill has passed the
senate it is taken to the house, which is
informed that the senate has added GER
tain amendments to their original meas
ure. Then a committee of conference
on the disagreeing votes of the
two houses is appointed by the speaker
and the vice president. The committee
consists of three senators and three
representatives. These committees
usually meet in the room Of the senate
committee on appropriations, and if the
walls of that handsome apartment
could speak they would have many in
teresting tales to relate. The first day
Or two no conclusions are arrived at,
neither side being willing to yield an

amicable settlement and generally
agree upon a course of action that will
be satisfactory to irrespective houses.

THE PROFESSORS WARD.

The Unsophisticated Politician and the Re-
porter.
The professor had been inveigled into
becoming a political candidate, for it
was known that he had written several
able works on THE Science of Govern
ment," THE Ethics of Politics. "The
Beatitudes of the Ballot and other
subjects, and the faction taking him
up felt the need of some good man to
go before the convention with. The
professor was innocent of any crime,
had never seen any Doodle, was of clean
private record, and there was nothing
in his whole life that the newspapers
could find to fling mud at So the pro
fessor was inveigled into the scheme
and on the day of the convention re-
porter approached him.

porter, that your ward has instru tied
for you, professor?'
"Sir?' exclaimed the gui'cless pro-
fessor, SO indignant that even the re-
porter was at loss to account for it
Il beg your pardon" he said; Il
meant no offense. I merely desired to
know IL your Ward mad instructed 1or
you, sir"
But the professor fred up this time
more ficrcely than before.
my ward knows nothing whatever
about it, SIR" he protested, vigorously.
'She is young lady who has absolute
ly nothing to do with politics. and has
never said anything to me on the sub
ject of my candidacy, sir, except to dis
suade me from entering the political
field, and sincerely hope that you will
not get her name in the papers in any
manner whatever, sir"

Suddenly the shadow of the Black
foot darkened the doorway. The in
truder did not betray his surprise by
the slightest start, and the two young
men cordially greeted one another and
entered into conversation by means of
signs. When the young Sioux presently
announced his desire to make the maid
en- his wife and his intention of return
ing with them to the tribe on the NOR
row, there was silence.
Friend" finally exclaimed the
Blackfoot, 'tyouN will expose yourself
to great danger by returning with us.

shows the slightest inclination of a COM
promise and after reasonable length
of time this fact is reported in the SEN
ate and house. Then new conference
is ordered, and the bill is finally agreed
upon.
This year the work of passing appropri-
alton bills has been SO delayed that it
was found necessary to pass a joint reso
luton extending the appropriations of
the past year. Otherwise the govern
mcnt would have been in a bad fix, the
fiscal year having expired June 80,
leaving no money available in the
treasury without congressional action.
Considering the number of amend
ments to appropriation bills which
come from the senate, it is wonderful
how few mistakes are made in the en-
rollmcnt of them. There are sometimes
as many as nine hundred amendments
and each must be numbered and put in
its correct place. Once in great while
mistake is made. Several years ago
when the legislative, executive and
judicial bill came back from the senate
with many amendments tackled on to it.,
the enrolling clerk of the house neg.
lected to put in certain figures connected
with an amendment. The consequence
was that prominent government Off.
cial found that the title of his Office ap-
peared in the bill, but that no money
appeared to be appropriated for the ex.
pense of that Office. He had to wait
until the next fiscal wear for his salary
But such mistakes are rare, and when it
is understood that the enrolling clerk
of the house has the work of fixing up
all the appropriation bills "a rule pro-
viding that all bills shall be enrolled in
the house from whence they originated),
it is rather surprising that more mis-
takes do not occur. The aggregate ap-
preparations for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1898, arc, in round numbers,
$500, 100000. There are over sixteen
thousand items in these bills.
