About Cl0ture.
70 the Editor of the New DOMINION:

To the Editor of the New DOMINION
l see good deal in the papers
about "Cloture" and "Cloture rule"
and all that sort of thing, in regard
to the Senate vote. Webster's does
not have the word, and l want you
to tell me the definition of the word,
and oblge
WEST SIDE.
Cloture is French word signify
ing the sudden stoppage of debate
in parliamentary assemblies by the
decision of the Speaker, or by the
vote of the majority of the Legislators.
1t has both good and bad points.
1t has been in vogue In France
since 1851. Thirty years afterward
the English House of Commons
adopted it, and it is now generally
considered part of the laws gov
erning the deliberations of that
body. The working Of the cloture
may be explained as follows: In
France five members may move for
it, and only one member may speak
in opposition. II the majority sus-
tain the motion, it is voted upon i'm
mediately In England an immedi-
ate vote must be taken on any i'm
portant business at the request of
40 members. The usual privileges
are cut off Curious as it may
seem, Gladstone introduced the
cloture into the English Pertinent.

absorbing interest in that measure

The mental strain upon the head of
the Treasury since last May has been
almost unexampled. A Washington
correspondent declares there has
been nothing like it since the time
Of the war and Salmon p. Chase
But instead of breaking Mr. Car
Isle, it has seemed to key him to
working pitch. Upon such duties as
wrecked Manning and Window
the present secretary thrives. That
is the difference in men. Mr.. Carlisle
has always been at his best when the
excitement and the demand on nerve
force has been greatest. This has
been noticeable all through his ca
reer. While leading finaciers the
Country through are breaking down
and going off on vacations as re
suit Of the past summers ordeal,
Mr.. Carlisle's eyes are bright and
his step elastic. The periods Of
dizziness and routine are those that
wear most on him.

NOTES

Russell Hayes is acting as page
during this session.
The sheriff and his three deputies,
Messrs. Barrackman, Watson and C.
l.. Hare, are all kept busy in and
about the court house.
Those petit jurors who are not on
the Blair case are having long time
of it doing nothing, and they all say
1t makes them very weary
Z. W. ST. Clair, the foreman, and
John E. Price, the secretary of the
grand jury, are boLh ex- members of
the Legislature. Each in his parti.
eular capacity this term very good
man.
The great crowd of witnesses for
both the state and defense in the
Blair case were debarred from en-
trance to the court room, and day in
and day out they stand around on
the outside waiting to be callsd.
There is an unusually large number
of these witnesses.
John Dean was present this time
when called as a witness, but Sarah
Randall was not, as usual, and it is
said that the condition of her health
at present would not bear the fatigues
of a journey to town, be the case ever
so important which would require
her presence.

The present business condition
can be compressed into one
sentence. Those that have money
for investment do not know whether
the dollars they will receive in return
for those they invest now will be
worth one hundred cents or only
fifty. Until they can be satisfied
on this score their money will be
kept locked up in banks or private
safes, and the business of the coun.
try will continue from hand to
mouth.

Here is something from the Fair
mont Inder decidedly commendatory
of the present University faculty,
but equally as modest, when it is
considered that the editor of that
paper is University Regent: There
are at this time over two hundred
students enrolled at the University,
which is a very gratifying showing.
This result is rot attributable TO the
action of the Board in July, as much
as it is to the work that has been
done for the school by those in
charge. All that has been needed
for years was a loyal effort to build
up the school, which we are sorry to
say has not been heretofore given.
II this effort is kept up the present
number of students will be doubled
next year. and when from four to
five hundred students are enrolled
the Legislature will contribute to
the support of the school with great
err generosity"

Peterson will probably go back to
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, as U. S.
Consul. The West Virginia delega-
tion in Congress should see to it that
he does not 20 back. He is one of
the most rabid Republicans the low
err end of the state ever had. Com
ing home on leave, he was given to
understand that he could retain his
position till his commission would
expire, which will be in short time.
Peterson demanded that he have as
surance that he was to stay year.
1t is said this assurance was given
him, "because he understood the
business. Well, that's no excuse
at all. He didn't understand it when
he took u Democrats place down
there. But it was all right. So
wonld it. be all right were Demo
crat appointed in his place.

Col. Matt Cooper, of the Ravens

to give Col. Smith of the Fairmont
Inder, a scathing scoring on account
of the alters hard lieks in favor of
tariff on coal. There is some coal
down about Ravenswood, and it is
being worked, but Col. Matt says to
take the duty off. just the same. Col.
Smith has never advocated an in
creaee of the tariff ON coal. He wants
it left as it is.

is not far distant will come from Fay-

The mere reporter who always re-
mains a reporter, with a department
to cover or errands to run may or
may not be especially gifted. The
special correspondent must be Ito
the manner born" He may or may
not have creative ability. That is
whether he does his work on the edi-
torial page or supplies the character
sketches that make too little renown
for the men who write beside the
news columns. But the special cor
respondent must have a great many
other qualities of an uncommon kind
and in a remarkable degree. He must
have such a temperament as to be
newborn every morning, and to look
on all that he is to write about with
new eyes and fresh interest. He must
have u made-to-order sort of soul,
that will suffer itself to be thrown
into whatever he does as q boys soul
enters into the games he plays at
college. He must have at once the
broadcast and finest power of observa-
tion, and the vocabulary and facility
that are the bases Of expression and
freedom with his pom. He must be
as sanguine as a song bird, and as
strong and willing as a race horse.
Above all. he must love his work
better than his comfort, his club. his
home or his friends, else he might
some day pause and consider for
what small reward and shadowy
glory he is risking his neck or
plunging into discomfort-a train OF
thoughts which can never come to q
correspondent as 1t does to men Of
many another stamp who live for
money, for comfort or for social dis
tinction. He must have personality
all vigor to keep on past every him
drance, and with much candor and
sweetness to win and keep mems con-

everywhere and talk to him un-
restrainedly; but his personality
must be Of a kind that does not in
trude itself too rigidly at many

and with justice, that 1t Is a remedy of general
utility, and this because 1t restores that regular

incident to reporter of the Denver Rspxb-

there was woman in the car ahead Of rs

out to he one of the best on the line We went
over. She bundled her 12-year-old boy, neck
and crop, out OF the car window, throwing .
gun after him. She was through that car
window herself In less time than 1t takes to
tell 1t, and, seeing what she was up to three

herself, and the men were no more agile or
graceful, so that by the time they all got to
their feet the boy was through the fence.
"Then began scene that scared mo half
to death. The woman tried to get through
the fence, but could not, as her skirts caught
in the barbs. In the meantime the men
started to climb through and 1t would have
done your heart good to see that 12-year-old
youngster line up alongside that fenoe and
throw up his Winchester.
"'Don't none Of you fellows come through
till NAV does,' he cried, and not q man
budged. The old woman then left her boy 70

ONE BoARDER
Scarcely had the old lady got safely
round the corner and Mr.. Briggs re-
covered his ruffied faculties, when
there came another sharp tintinnabu-
lady this time, with a stiff looking
holding on his mnstache. With this
couple Mr.. Nahum trotted to the very
top of the house and down again.
"Adolphus, my DEAR" said the lady.
"Well, my dear?"
Don't you think these ceilings are
very low? And then the back yard
is SO very small. And the dining
room is SO inconvenient. And-Tm
really afraid there are obnoxious in
sects in the bedrooms.
Really, ma'am" said Nahum, bristl-
ing up, ''is there any other fault to
find? Because. If there isn't, there's
the front door"
Two young damsels and spinster
aunt followed and after a lengthy in
spection of the premises came to a
state council in the parlors,
II like the house very much" said
the spinster aunt, solemnly, land with
few slight alterations will engage

Very good, ma'am," said Nahum,

speedy termination to his trials.

breath. wouldn't you like the old
house carted away and q new one put

trifling alterations you suggest"
With prim dignity the lady mar
shaled her two charges out, muttering
something about 'the extortionate
ideas of some landlords nowadays"

even Nahum Briggs, man and bachelor
though he was, could see how very
shabby it was.
Yet she was pretty, with big, blue
eyes and shining brown hair, and
cheeks tinged with faint, feeting
color, where the velvety roses Of
youth had once bloomed in vivid
carmine.
And the golden haired little lassies
who clung to her dress were as like
her as TRY lily buds to full bloomed
flower bells.
As Nahum Briggs stood looking at
her there came back to him the sun

clover and blue eyed girl leaning
over the fence, with her bright hair
barred with sunset gold, and he knew
