The ever-faithful senate came up to ex-
peotation yesterday and did its part toward
making easy the way of the big railroad
company. The 500, ,O0o, 900 bsgatelle was
given no more importance than 1t deserved.
One cantankerous senator, Mr.. Root, OF
Waterbury, did speak his mind about 1t,
and though his remarks will be carefully
read by those who make senators, they
didn't receive much attention from the
senators who have been made. Possibly
they will be remembered when some of
the senator's want to be made again.
The affair has left bad impression.
There has been no disposition anywhere
to prevent the railroad company from get.
ting, with proper and just restrictions,
what 1t needed. There has been a very
evident and powerful disposition to pre-
vent fair and free discussion of the mat
ter, and the rights of the people haven't
received any consideration. Some of
their faithful and courageous representa-
tives have done their duty, but to no eff
feot as far as legislative soion 10 con-
ce,ned. They deserve to be honored for IL
by their constituents. It takes real pluck
to do what Senator Root, Representative
Hotchkiss and few others have done.
The railroad company has not made
wise use of its power this time, bat 1t has
made it plain that it has great power. ~

A Parfsfan Robbery,

If the following story, gravely credited
by serious journals here, be true, 1T Shove
how close upon the heels of tragedy trips
Its sister comedy. A. the lower end of the
Avenue Asrcesu Is familiar house of two
stories, separated from the hippodrome by
q large garden. This house belongs to the
Marquis de Psnisse Passis, but at the time
of the adventure In question he was In the
country with his children. he had left
behind him in charge a conciersge and his
wife. In the dusk of Friday afternoon
the bell of the gateway rang, and the con-
ciersge, N. Querel. going thither, found
four well dressed men, one of whom asked
to see the marquis. The concierge replied
that his master was not At home, but the
man said instantly, "Oh, that does not
matter. i sm q commissary of police and
have warrant from II. Franqueville to
search the house. i have also a warrant of
arrest made out against you and your mas.
ter for matters relating to Panama"
The concierge protested that he was the
last person in the would to have ever dab
bled in Panama affairs, and expressed his
absolute confidence in the innocence of NJ.
de Panisss- -Passis, but the person playing
the role of agent of justice would have
none of this. Come, come" said he,
first let us tinish our work, then you can
explain yourself to II. FranquevIIle. am
going to begin my search, and you will be
good enough to help me-" "Show me
your badge" said the concierge. But this
demand was in no way disconcerting
The man opened his coat and displayed
the tri color scarf of authority; then with
artistic fitness, completing the impression,
he said TO his conpanione, "Here, hand
cuff these people" No sooner said than
done, and the poor concierge was COM
PEELED to lead the way up the stairs TO the
study of the marquis.
Meanwhile, three other men had been let
into the garden and were keeping watch
over the wife of the concierge in the lodge
Up stairs in the house havoc was being
made. Cupboards and drawers were
emptied, the door of the safe was wrerchsd
from its hinges, and money, jewels and
papers were sbstracted. All portable
trinkets of value, together with the linen,
were seized. Finally, the woman was
called up to aid in the search. This novel
form OF robbery went on until almost md
night, when finally the band went away,
leaving the concierge aud his wife fettered,
but unhurt. The booty, carefully packed,
was carried swsyin two carts, which had
been stationed since II O'Clock in front of
the gate. The two prisoners managed to
get free towards o'clock in the morning,
and the poles were communicated with,
but no further clue has vet been obtained

A Storlk 7TouopoIIst

In Sknns, in the souihsrn part of Sxsd-

on the roof Of my fathers parsonage. One
spring, pair of Young storks appeared In
the place who, sitter surveying the old nest

and the esgs had been laid, the old female
spork returned, took look at the new
comers, but allowed them to remain In
their homs in peace. Her attention was
soon occupied by number of young suit
ors, who zealously wooed her, though abe

The Bethel Reformed church at Ed.

neat church edifce and hopes soon to
occupy it. This will be known as

the appropriation of the board toward
the building $500 has been paid into
the board by Christian Endeavor socie-
ties, the result Of their offerings on ''En-
ldeavor day" for the past three years.
How soon shall we have Christian En-
ldeavor church No. Q? We could have
ia new one each year if every Y. P. S. c..
lE. in the Reformed church would send
Jan annual offering to the board for that
purpose.
Bethel church is now supplied by the
Rev. G. Dangremond, pastor at Church
vile, MINI. The building is A by 2s
feet, all finished except plastering and
painting. The church has had dona-
ton of III chairs for the seating and a
gift of $40 toward stove, which is al

AmerIca,s system Cor nritain.

As "A radical am most strongly in favor
of local parliaments and one imperial par
lament. This system has been adopted
with signal success in America, and it is
the only one which really gives the people
control over their destinies Such parlia-
ment rs we now have is so surcharged with
business that it either does not do its bust
ness or does it in Il perfunctory way Every
reform under our present system takes ten
times as long passing as an elephant does
TO procreate its species.
Owing TO this stress the possibility of car
rying reforms is almost insuperable, and
when we want dozens we have to thank
heaven If, in dozen years, we secure one.
BY using the weapons of obstruction the
classes maintain their obnoxious privileges
Although the primary duty of parliament
is to keep watch and guard over public ex-
penditure, parliamentary control has be
come a farce, and the estimates-with all
their jobs, their robberies and their extrav-
agances-are put off until the end of the
session, when there is no time to look into
them.
Naturally the Tories wish to perpetuate
this state of things. 1t will only come to
an end when the radicals have realized that
what we call our glorious constitution is a
scheme to give the people the appearance
of power without the reality and to main
tain the classes in the possession of power.
