The Roman. Wan. OF Taste.

the Roman craving for richness Of effect
soon led them to cover all the various
members of the entablature with elaborate
surface ornament. very great artistic
mistake, ms the plain, fiat holdings and
fillets, catching the light strongly, served
n very important purpose In setting OF by
contrast the lines OF dark hollows aud
delicate surface enrichments which the
Greeks applied to u few OF the members

cadence In taste can be seen even In the
very splendid and well designed cornice Of
the Temple of Concord; IL has progressed
further In the cornice of the Temple OF
Vespasian, Ia which one Of the coron@ Is cut
into short upright fittings, and the lower
egg and dart member is covered with elab.
crate surface ornament. Later on, in the
Second and Third centuries, this excessive
use of ornament was carried further still,
till every single member in the cornice was
often covered with enrichments. leaving
no plain surfaces TO relieve the eye or 10

so-called conservative Senators have
advised that a general party conference
be held after the Senate convenes for
the consideration of this question The
experience of the last session showed
that whenever cauouses were held the
conservatives carried their points
Hence there IS reason for the prompt
action of the friends of the supplement-
airy bills.
There appears to be nothing outside
of financial or tariff questions likely to
excite a ripple during the week, and it
7 is not certain that, whatever may hap
pen later in the session. there will be
lnu ch in these lines to disturb the gem
era1 serenity of the Senate during the
next few days.
After the receipt of the Presidents
message and when it gets to business,
the Senate may take up the calendar
in regular. order, or it may proceed to
consider out of order some of the more
important bills which have been re-
ported, such as those for the admission
| of Arizona and New Mexico. or the
bankruptcy, anticipation, or the Nicar-
aqua bill.
In any event, the daily sessions of

SECOND SESSION.
A Belief That But Little Legislation
VIII Be Had.

Washington, Dec. 2.-The second ses-
at noon tomorrow Beyond the passing
Of the regular appropriation bills it
seems probable little in the way of leg
is,ation will be accomplished at the
short session.. although several i'm
portant propositions will doubtless be
pressed to the front. Among the MEM
bers of the dominant party. in the
House, over half of whom were defeat
ed for reelection, there is a great deal
of bitter feeling against the admins
tration for real or fancied grievances.
It will be the purpose of Democratic
leaders to curb, as far as possible, the
display of resentment, but the Republic
cans will spare no pains to provoke and
goa,d their defeated adversaries into
letting hose their Via.s of wrath If
the President outlines a financial
scheme in his message tomorrow, as
anticipated, it VIII probably furnish the
opponents of his banking and financial
Views their desired opportunity.
In the course of the session it is IN
derstood the Nicaragua canal project
Will be propght prominently forward.
AT the opening of the Congress, how
ever, routine matters Will be kept to
the fore to 9tave off as far as possible
unpleasant references to the election,
which wou1d prove distasteful to the
majority, but the policy can be only
partially successful, as the latitude al
lowed in debates on appropriation bills
will throw the doors open to remarks
on any subject.
Before the adjournment for the holi-
days, it will be necessary to pass an
or 10 10y ONT
bill provision levying a tax on incomes,
the collection of which begins January
1, and while it will no doubt meet with
much opposition and lead to a general
review Of the arguments against such
a tax, the general impression is that it
wiM pass by a large majority.
The impeachment of Judge. Kicks, of
the northern district Of Ohio, will also
furnish a. diversion before the holidays,
if the judiciary committee which inves-
tigalted the charges should present q
resolution Of Impeachment and it
should carry The trial would occur
in the Senate, the chief Justice presid-
ing. impeachment proceedings are
since the trial of President Johnson,
would attract no little attention.
Tomorrow, if a quorum is present in
the House, as seems almost certain,
after the calling of the roll, nothing
Will be done probably beyond the read
ing of the Presidents message.
No definite programme has been ar
ranged for the remainder of the week.
The committee on appropriations,
however, has two bills almost pre-
pared-the pensions and Notifications
bills-and they will be reported on
Tuesday, so that work upon them can
be entered upon Wednesday.

able wants, is J. Hampton Hoge, OF
Virginia, who was started out as a
member Of the diplomatic corps of the
country, but was recalled because OF
his disgracefui actions, and then left
the Democratic party and took up with

dates that would do for a straw con-
test.
Are a Sorry Lot.
Alabama, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mis-
souri, the Carolinas, Texas and Virgi-
mia have been prolific of these contest
ants and a sorry lot of politicians they
will prove to be on close inspection
that is, according to the reports that
have already begun to come in regard
ing them They are from the back
woods and generally of that class OF
men who are seeking notoriety and are,
therefore, willing to give some of their
yalueless time to the leading of forlorn
hopes
In this correction there will be a
great opportunity for Reed and his
Congress to inaugurate a. needed re-
form by serving notice on contestants
that they will not be given a salary for
doing nothing while their case is hold
ing the boards The expense of these
contests that have been already filed
will foot up to almost 100000, accord
ing to the ratio of the contests that
have been filed in the last four years
and there is no telling how many more
impecunious fellows are likely to throw
themselves into the calcium light thai
shines on Congress and become capital
lists as long as the snap will last. Reed
is responsible, to a great extent, for
the state of things and it is highly
probable that he will let the abuse &c
on. If he does he may depend on il
that there will be speedy verdict
against the policy on The part of the
people. These expensive luxuries are
never tolerated long, for a man who
has to work hard for every dollar does
not like to see another living in un-
earned and unnecessary idleness.
