whose sense Of humor, II he Tosstesed
1t, was Of grim sort. 1t is recorded,
however, that he had certain SYM
pathy with pun; and several OF his
minor appointments were actually
made because the appointees' names
seemed to indicate their fitness for
the place. He made Monsieur Bigot,
for instance, his minister OF public
worship at one time; and when he
was looking about for a govern of
the pages In the imperial palace. he
could think Of no one so appropriate
for the place as General ardanne,
whose name, in French, signifies a
keeper of donkeys.
When he came to make Marshal
Victor Beau-Soleil duke, it struck
Napoleon that the opportunity was
an excellent one to make so OF

marshal's name. Beau-Soleil signi-

Prince Bismarck, on the other
hand, is one great Statesman who is
remarkable for the possession of a
keen sense OF humor. This lie has
often shown; and it appc lis in the
contents OF the youthful memgran-

college. German students are some
times presented with lank Look Of

to make daily entry of some tn ught

TEACHING 4 CALF TO EAT OATMEAL.

To teach a young calf to eat oatmeal,
first give it little in the hand; it will
soon learn to eat it, and then small
feedbox may be fixed in the pen, in
which the meal is placed. At first the
calf cannot digest this kind of food,
and not until it is three weeks old and
its teeth are beginning to appear, be-
cause the saliva is not secreted until
then, and this is needed to digest solid
food. The quantity given at first
should not be more than one ounce,
and this may be gradually increased
until six ounces daily are given at the
end of month. The increase should
be gradual after that. American Dairy.

A word of praise warns the heart,
arouses the spirits and energy to ac.
complish our purposes. In our pri.
vate intercourse with Others. there is
no instrument of power over their af-
fections, their desires, and conduct
so potent to give courage and strength
in whatever pursuit in which we may
be engaged. Niggards of praise are
prodigals Of censure. Censure begets
fear, praise nouri hes love. The
habit OF seeking praise for worthy
actions rather than blame operatas
favorably, not only on the happiness
and temper but on the whole moral
character. 1t is great corrective

A predisp0sit! to see what is best

brightly in our character; and on the
other hand, predisposition to dis
cover what is bad and expose our
errors, whether intentional or fortu.
itous, keeps in activity our meaner
and malignant feelings. 1t is better
and wiser, on the whole, to cultivate

THE ONE-sIDED CAUCUS.

The attempt made Yesterday by the
Democratic silver Senators to round
up the repealsrs In II caucus. rs tuld
In the G o'clock edition Of THE Evening
World" was not undertaken In the in
tcrest OF Democratic principles or OF
Democratic supremacy. 1t was. on the
contrary. IA transparent effort to suborli-
nate the welfare o; the party to the
success OF n faction. and to place the
party in a false position before the
country.
II IL had been an honest movement TO
obtain an expression OF Democratic sen

CHANGE THE RULES.

II II is true that one-ffth OF the Senate
can prevent any change in the rules as
well as defeat any legislation under the
rules the principle of majority rule is In
deed destroyed. not only In hat body.
but In the entire Congress-. The hitherto
accepted theory OF the Government must
be abandoned since the veto power in
legislation is lodged In the few and not
in the many. The contention involves a
complete revolution In our political sys
tenn.
But will any intelligent student OF
American history contend that the franz
ers of the Constitution intended to rem
der such a result possible. or that the
Constitution they framed j~ustines 80
absurd a construction? Did the fathers
intend to organize an oligarchy or found
a Republic?
1t Is very plain to any student Of that
period that they intended not only to
form a Republic, but that the Republic
should be governed by the majority. 1t
is very plain that they intended to
frame a constitution which would pre-
serve to the majority the right to rule.
When, therefore. any mere rule of pro-
cedure of the Senate 30 operates as to
defeat this purpose. It c~ontravenes the
Constitution. and the Vice-President is
bound by his oath to obey the Constitu-
ton and not the bylaw of the Senate.
Senator Hill is right.
The position taken yesterday by Sena-
tor Frye Is right.
He quoted from a decision Of Mr..
Blaine while Speaker OF the House to
the effect that pending a propo-
sition to change the rules dilatory
motions could not be entertained. Other
wise the Constitution, In comforting the
right OF each House to determine Its
rules. would have conferred or each the
right to defeat the Constitution itself.
II one-lfth OF either body may prevent
a change one membe might prevent 1t.
No one Will contend that the Constitu,
ton contemplated comforting upon either
body the right to. adopt a set OF rules
which would place 1t In the power of one
member or OF one-fifth OF the members
to prevent Legislation and block the ma.
chinery OF government.
The rules were adopted by n majorit,
and they can be changed by Il majority
Dilatory methods were not permitted II
their adoption, nor can they be properl,
permitted in their amendment.
