SOME wiseacre at Washing ton claims
to have discovered that the appoint
ment of two Senators and Representa-
tive as commissioners to the proposed
international monetary conference is
unconstitutional under the provision of
the Constitution which reads az follows:
No Senator or REPRESENTATIVE shall dur
ing the time for which he was elected be
appointed to any civil office under the au-
thority of the United States which shall
have been created or the emolumenfs
whereof shall have been increased during
such time; and no person holding any office
under the United States shall be n member
OF either house during his continuance in
office.
The object of this provision was to
prevent members of Congress, by cor
rupt collision with the President, secur-
ing political promotion or permanent
provision for themselves. IL would be
a violation of the provision to appoint
any member of Congress to a permanent
Office created during his term, but the
position Of commissioner to the interna-
tional silver conference is not an Office
in the sense contemplated by the Con-
stitution. 1t is merely a special COM
mission. The act authorizing the Presi-
dent to appoint such commissioners did
not create any Office nor attach any SAL
airy to the position, but simply appro-
priated a lump sum to defray such ex-
penses in the matter as the President
might see fit to incur. The President is
too good lawyer and too careful an ex-
ecutive to have made such mistake as
this alleged discovery would imply.
There is nothing in it.

A Faithful Car Hor.a.

A queer and intelligent Norwich ami
NAL is the franklin street hill horse,
belonging to the Norwich Horse Rail
way company. For several years she
has done duty or the hill, and knows
quite as much about the business of
running horse cars as any other en-
ployee. She has no driver. After break
fast she trudges up to her station at the
foot Of the Franklin street hill alone,
and when q loaded car comes to climb
the steep grade voluntarily takes her
place in front Of it and helps to drag it
half mile to Rockwell street. At
that point the driver relieves the hill
horse, and she goes leisurely back to
the bottom Of the hill. Sometimes she
goes clear down to Franklin square,
where the cars are started, and exceeds
her duty by helping the other horses
along the route before the hill is
reached.-Connecticut Cor. New York

The Modern Girl Better on.

There Is no doubt that Maude's great
grandmother would be shocked at the
"goings on" of these latter days. The
old lady would faint at the sight of her
descendants ways; but. after all, isn't
the change for the better? Certainly
the dress is better than the terrible
lacing of revolutionary days, and II
Maude does go "low neck" TO ball. she
appears on the street in Il stout cloth
gown. How any woman ever lived to
be thirty in ye olden time is a mystery.
Why. the way they tramped about in no
sleeves and low necks and tasted them
selves then and fed (supposedly) on
lilies is enough to make II galloping con
sumptive invalid pale with envy.
Evelena, pale and languid, read poetry
all day, except when she foated about
like a sylph in the rose garden. It is
bad to rashly judge, but ones private
opinion il that the aforesaid Evelena
had her chunk of beef in the pantry.
Why did Evelena spend all day in II
rose garden? Was she supposed to be
studying the beauties of nature. or had
the old man really sent her out to spray
the bugs off the bushes?
Another weakness Of Evelena's was
her relapsing on all occasions into
floods Of emotions" and "tears of sweet
sensibility." In fact. one is tempted to
believe that she wandered about clothed
in ''her regal beauty" and an old pale
green calico wrapper. But one fails to
find reason for her "emotions."
Doubtless they were kept ION tap"
and didn't lose their sparkle by frequent
turnings Of the spigot. But it must
have been real uncomfortable TO sit up
at night learning how to weep and faint
just at the right time.
But Maude irreverently thinks the
"goings on" of her great maternal an
cestor triHe stupid, and there is no
doubt that she finds the "healthy" fash
ion far more enjoyable than the "dying-
in-leafy-June" style of beauty. Then
Maude walks, rides, drives. goes boat
ing and plays tennis till the blister ON
her nose murmurs of "cold cream"
Still she enjoys it. and would you change
if you could?-W Washington Post.

Confederate Camp Flags.

The Confederate stars and bars were
in 1858 supplemented by the camp flag.
This was in size and shape like the other,
except that it was white, with no stripes,
and the battle flag in the upper corner
next the staff. 1t was found deficient in
actual service in that, displaying so
much white, it was sometimes apt to be
mistaken for flag of truce, and on Feb
"a, 1865, it gave place to the last flag of
the Confederacy, the outer half being a

Dthers-in fact, it was comparatively

GLADsroNE's LAST CAMPAIGN.

tion address has been issued. 1t says in
part:
"Great Britain will now decide
whether the three countries shall hence
forth constitute in reality, as we'll as in
statute name, the United Kingdom.
The proposal for which the Liberals
have for the last six years contended
will set Ireland free to manage her own
affaira by local legislature, in close
sympathy with Irish life, and will set
parliament free to overtake the vast ar
rears OF business, and supply the legis-
latlve wants of England and Wales.
The constant growth of sound opinion,
aH testified to by the result of multi
tude OF bye elections, has shown that
the British people now thoroughly
comprehend how irresistible are the
claims OF Ireland upon our honor and
justice, and how the settlement will
open direct road to the settlement OF
British interests long held in suspense,
The government of Ireland by the
past parliament has utterly failed in
every respect, except in enabling the
Irish agriculturist to improve his condi-
ton by the act of 1887, the main pro.
visions OF which the ministry denounced
in 1856 as immoral and dishonorable.
and thereby drove the people to the
plan Of campaign and became the true
