On Friday the Senate and House adopt
cd iolnt resolution to adjourn sine die on
Tuesday.
Cleveland did not sign the new tariff bill
nor yet veto it, and at midnight OF Monday
night it became law-the tariff, internal
revenue and income tax law of the country.
Cleveland did not even write message to
Congress regarding the bill, but instead oil
that addressed letter to Rep. Catchings
of Mississippi, intended for the public, in
which he expresses his disappointment at
the result of Democratic efforts to make
and pass q satisfactory tariff bill. He
says
'The trusts and combinations-the COM
munism of pelf-whose Vaccinations have
prevented us from reaching the success we
deserved, should not be forgotten nor for
given. We shall recover from our aston
ishment at their exhibition of power, and
il then the question is forced upon us
whether they shall submit to the free leg
islative will of the peoples representa-
tiyes. or shall dictate the laws which the
people must obey, we will accept and set
lie that issue as one involving the integrl-
ty and safety of American institutions.
ssThe millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely and well fer tariff re-
form should be exhorted to continue the
struggle by challenging to open warfare
and constantly guarding against treschery
and half heartedness in their camp.
Tariff reform will not be settled until it
is honestly and fairly settled in the inter
est and to the benefit of patient and long
suffering people"

word dinner was not used.
AS long as the French soldiers had
bouilli and the broth resulting from
its preparation twice day, the two
meals were called la soupe du matin ct
la soupe du soir, the former being their
dinner. And even now, when they
have soup once only, neither of the
meals is called dinner, but repas du

used. as / have been informed by a

desinar (diSinar) is more especially
used of the dinner of the poorer

rather used of the more delicate dinner

THE NOVEL HABIT.
[From The SPECTATOR

The sedative novel must not be act
lively stupid. F'oolishness, irrelevance,
lack Of conference, bad grammar, are
irritants, which should have no place
in the novel which is meant to give
rest to the mind. The man who is
made to grind his teeth and mutter
what Internal boshv is not getting
his sedative, nor is the woman soothed
who is perpetually being forced to
declare that she never read such Eng
lish. In truth, the sedative novel
ought to conform to the description of
the Thames in Denham's immortal
couplet:
Though deep, yet clear; though gentle,
yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflow-
ing, full.
In other words, there must be a
pleasant flow of unimpassioned narra-
tive, along which the boat of the mind
must be carried without effort or fati-
que. A rapid in which careful steering
is required, or a piece of slack water
in which it is necessary to punt or row,
are equally Objectionable. A smooth
current, yet with plenty of variety, is
the desideratum.
No doubt, plenty of people who in
dulge in the novel habit will pro-
test against this view and will de-
clare that they like the strongest
novels that they can get, and that,
if possible, they would like a new
mill on the Floss or a reincarnation
of David Copperfield or Pendennis
every day. Such persons are, however,
either exceptions or else the victims of
literary debauchery. They have so en-
tirely given themselves up to the use
of the fiction fiend as to be unable to
appreciate what is mild and soothing
They are like the men who can only
smoke cut cavendish, who lace their
champagne with cognac, and who have
to put cayenne pepper in everything
