Lairds constructed two ironclad rams for
the Confederate service Mr.. Adams pro-
tested. Lord John Russell evaded the
protests. protesting to believe that the
rams were for the service of the Chimes e
Government. Mr.. Adams supplied him
with ample evidence of their real destina-
ton. but the Earl still shillyshaliied. 1t
was then that Mr.. Adams uttered the IA
nous warning: The rams are to sail TO
morrow. 1t is useless for NE to remind
You that this is war; ana your lordship
may prepare for it," The rams were seized
that night.
Charles Francis Adams lived twenty
years after that; but he was disap-
pointed man, and took no part in politics.
1t was with his hearty assent that bis son,
John Quincy, who has just died, and who
was expected to inherit his grandfather s
mantle, cut loose from the Republican
party and joined the Democracy. He had
shown, as a member of Governor An
drews' staff during the war, clear head
and vigorous mind. But Massachusetts
was not ripe for a change of political
faith. Mr.. Adams was elected, year after
year, to the State Legislature, where be
became the leader of the Democrats. but
when he ran for Governor he was badly
beaten. That was the end of him politi-
cally. The stain OF strong blood which had
run through the veins of his father. grand
father and great-grandfather appeared to
have worn itself out in the fourth genera
ton. The second son of Charles Francis
Adams. Charles Francis Adams Jr., be-
came a railroad man. Two other sons,
Henry and Brooks, devoted themselves to
letters, and have written interesting
books, which. however, failed to make a
mark.
The history Of the family is full Of In
struction for the new school of thinkers
who hold that we should make more of
heredity than we do. The father of Presl-
dent John Adams was a Massachusetts
farmer, who appears TO have been q man
Of thrift and common-sense. He was de-
scended from a lineage of farmers from
Devonshire, England. Opportunity en-
abled John Adams TO rise above the rank
of Ssectman, and he showed, in the high
est posts in the Government, that he was
fitted to be leader Of men. The career
of his son and grandson vindicated the
law of heredity; but with the fourth men,
Der of the line the high quality of the race
died out. II John Quincy Adams Jr. had
gone to Congress there is no reason for
supposing that ne would have made a
mark. So. evidently, we are as well of
without the advantages of hereditary dis
tiDctiOns.

THE HOUSE. OF REPRESENTA-.
TIVES.

The Hon. Hannis Taylor, United States
Minister to Spain, contributed an article
to the August North american ReuieaU de-
voted to an exempllfcation OF the work
Ing of proposed change in the laws gov
erning the House of Representatives. The
proposition is sim ply that an admlnistra.
tlon shall be allowed the initiative in
legislation. There are now about 10. 600
dis introduced at each session of Con-
gress. most of which are referred to the
hfty-six standing committees. Mr.. Taylor
says:
Inc practical difficulty which has arisen out
Oh THIS system OF division and subdivision is a
Iack OF leadership or directing power through
Whlcn the attention Of the House can be
promptly concentrated upon the few vitality I'm.
portant subjects of national legislation which
should be lifted out Of the mass, debated and
disposed OF in advance of all other business.
The writer dwells upon the fact that
party platforms are as a rule vague and
shadowy on vital issues. They need
an authoritative Interpretation. The
President and Cabinet have not al present
any special right TO interpret the platform
which they are expected to carry out. The
several committees, which are only in an
incidental way responsible for the policy
of the administration. present the bills.
which thus become administration meas
ures.
To quote the words OF Mr.. Taylor:
As the right to initiate legislation is practI:
cally vested in committees the President and
his Cabinet are forced TO rely upon their politi-
cal friends thereon to draft such acts as the
dominant party is supposed to approve and to
conduct them through the chambers.
In place of waiting for committees to
present bills. it is proposed that Cabinet
officers shall be given power to draft bills
upon important national measures and TO
debate them in either House. The pro-
posed law should confer upon Cabinet

GIVE WHITE A SHOW.

The oath of Chinese laborer who de-
sires to enter the United States is all that
now stands between him and the accom-
plishment of his wishes. Mr.. Cleveland,
Secretary Gresham and Senator White
profess to believe that very few Chinese
would take q false oath. If they do not so
believe they have been an active party to
a crime against the American people. at
the present time there are hundreds Of
thousands of native-born Americans who
can find no work to do. The assertion
that any industrious and sober man can
find work is not at present true. 1t was
true once. but has ceased to be true now.
The new tariff is going to throw a per-
centage of factory operatives out of work.
The wages of others Will be cut down.
The aggregate of wages paid to the army
OF workers will be less than it was before
Mr.. Cleveland commenced his raid upon
American Industries. This certainly is
no time 20 let into the country hordes of
cheap workers, but it is the time the ad-
ministration has chosen for its work. The
treaty was ratified by a bare majority of
the Senate, though 1t is probable that if
the Senate had been full the result would
have been the same. This was the only
vote IN which the democratic Senator
from California has had a chance
10 exercise considerable influence for the
benefit of his State. but he elected to vote
with the. administration. how many
votes were Influenced by the vote of the
senior California Senator may never be
known. Senators from the South and
East, who had given the Chinese Ques ton
no particular study. may have reached
the conclusion that if the California Sen
ator could stand the Chinese invasion there
was no reason why they should incur the
hostility of the administration by voting
against the treaty. Senator White ought
to be given reception when he returns TO
California. When q convicted criminalsis
brought before the Judge for sentence it
is humane custom to ask him if he has
any reason to give why sentence should
not be pronounced.

The death of grandson and namesake
Of the sixth President of the United States
