Ill-Considered Legislation.

One Of the constitutional amendments
adopted by the New York convention.
which meets with general favor. is that
which provides that no bin snail be passed
by the Legislature until II has been
printed three days. and that TO bill shall
be amended on its final passage.
We do not know that We quite under
stand the latter provision. as the New
York practice may not be the same as
ours. but the requirement as to printing
bills seems to be plain and wise. one or
the beneficial effects TO be expected from
such a prohibition is that stop viii be
put 10 "sneak legislation" especially IN
the last hours OF a session, when the
houses are in great disorder and con-
fusion. and when there are few members

INCREASE OF BEAUTY.
The Women Of To-Day Better Than
Their Grandmothers.
The Assertion That National Beauty Is
Declining Not Easily Substantiated-A
Good Word for the Present.
Day Girls.

The assertion that our national
beauty is declining is more easily
made than substantiated, for it is
difficult to adduce satisfactory evil
dence. Supposing we place in the
witness box a number of Octogenari-
n or nonogenarians, we r not
wholly convinced that their plead
ings and opinions are free from bias,
it being an admitted fact that elder
ly people are in the habit of exalting
by-gone generations to the deprecia-
ton of the modern. | do not say
this is done maliciously, but with
advancing years one is apt to change
ones critical standpoint, and to
verge on pessimism, if not be actual
ly swamped by it, says the Gentle
woman. Nor can we judge Of a ma
tional type by pictures, as artists
naturally choose the handsomest
models procurable.
I am inclined to hold, with the
London Daily Graphic, that youth
may take comfort. Look at the
park in summer, go to our country
houses In winter, or accompany me
to the covert side, and you will agree
that beauty i%ncarnate is still among
US. Tell me if we are not rearing
our young moro wisely than did u
lackadaisical grandmothers. Are
we not cultivating graces of bodily
motion, and sitting at the feet OF
hygienic science? How can the girls
of yesteryear compare with the
maidens firm of limb and sound in
lung who know and appreciate the
value of open air and exercise? Is
coddling SO rampant? Is Julia
now afraid to walk a mile or two in
stout boots, no matter what the
weather? Think it Ove fairly and
impartially, and l shall be surprised
if you pass verdict that the allegation
of declining beauty stands proven.
Yet another word on the subject.
MIR. James Payn, in the Illustrated
London News, is gallant enough to
put in a word for the present-day
girls. Whether as beautiful as for
merly or not, they surpass women
of all other nations. A friend Of
his who is familiar with Circassia
tells him that the women Of that
country are not to be compared
with our own for good looks. It Is
the picture outside the cream-pots
which has misled the world. And
it is certain, he adds, that eastern
potentates who are, or who think
themselves, connoisseurs in the mat
ter, award the palm to the feminine
population of these isles.
The constant inquiry of the shah
of Persia, on both occasions when
he honored US with a visit, was:
''How much do you ask?" addressed
to the fathers and husbands of the
ladies he had d mind to purchase.

~TOMOKROW,S CONVENTION.

Tomorrow the state convention of the
democratic party meets at Raleigh. This
convention will nominate candidates for
the places in the judiciary of the state
and will fix the platform and the policy
Of this party in the coming campaign.
Doubtless all the present supreme
court justices will be renominated.
They have shown themselves able and
conscientious. There is no stain on
the judicial ermine.
The question of primaries will be set
tied by the convention. Several county
conventions have arranged for the hold
ing of primaries, but these desultory at
tempts will nave little effect. For the
primaries to be practical there must be a
definite system and a system that applies
to the whole state. 1t is to be hoped
that the state democratic convention
will arrange for the holding of such
primaries, arranging the machinery as is
thought best The primaries Tend to
bring the Senate closer to the great
masses, the voters of the nation. The
adoption Of he primaries will be party
wisdom as well as public justice.
The primaries are fair to all concerned.
Every candidate has in the primaries an
equal chance. The primaries cannot be
controlled by money, they cannot be
controlled by personal promises, they
cannot be controlled by Vaccinations.
The primary system is honest, it is just.
1t should be adopted and so arranged
that it will bear impartially upon all con,
Cerned.
The policy Of the party will also be
arranged at this convention. 1t should
be remembered that an adherence to
principles of party do not necessarily
mean a blind shutting of eyes to facts. 1t
is well for the democracy to recognize
errors in administration and policy and
to correct those errors as far as possible
The party can only be kept pure in its
principles and practices by a constant
inspection and revision.
The democratic party has in its state
administration made a record to which
every citizen of the state may point with
pride. While not nisgardly it has been
economical. Our state government is as
good as any in the union. 1t costs us
less in proportion than it does in any
other state in the union. The sta c ad-
ministration is as good IS We can expect
to find.
Regarding the national aIministra-
tion there is a divergence of opinion.
Many persons who claim to he democrats
and who are democrats as much as apv
people on the face of the earth, do not
approve the policy of Mr.. Cleveland and
have been disappointed in his admins
tration. Should the test Of democracy
be made So rigid as to drive away a con-
siderable portion If the party: If the
national administration is endorsed from

Mixed the Two Websters.

During Daniel Webster's visit to
England he was taken one day to
see Lord Brougham. That eminent
~jurist, however, received him with
such GOODNESS that Mr.. Webster was
glad to get away, and took his leave
at the first opportunity. The friend
saw him to his rooms and then re-
turned to Lord Brougham, and in
some anger said:
''My lord, how could you behave
with such unseemly rudeness and
discourtesy to SO great a lawyer and
statesman? 1t was insulting to
him, and has filled me with mortif-
cation"
"Why what on earth have I done,
and whom have I been rude tor"
asked his lordship.
ITO Daniel Webster, of the senate
of the United States"
Great Jupiter, what a blunder!'
exclaimed Lord Brougham, realizing
the mistake he had made. Il
thought it was that fellow Webster
who made a dictionary and nearly
ruined the English language"
Them it is said, the great chaneel-
lor sought out Mr., Webster, ex-
planned and excused his conduct,
which the latter generously ac-
cepted, and, it is added, having
other tastes in common besides law
and politics, they madea royal night
of it. All of which is probably true
enough to found a story on.

New York's theatrical world is by no

"bullet proof" performances, a spectacle
on a par with the knife throwing of the
circus and variety show. A woman Cor
man, either, for that natter puts on the
so-called bullet proof coat, and allows a
regiment of soldiers to fire a volley
point blank at her. This is a stimulant to
the taste of the jaded New Yorker.

THE GLOBE has a great deal OF com
nleint from lis subscribers at third class
p~ostofices They say that postmasters
sometimes take the paper home and read
it, returning it after several days. In
other cases a subscriber gets four or five
papers all at once. One or two instances
have come to our knowledge in which a
postmaster has been Systematically read
ing a subscribers paper and the u b
scriber has never seen it at all. The sub
scriber came to Us and complained that
he had never received the paper. The
D had all this time been going regu-
larly to the postOf1ce. In another in

it might yet succeed. But now even

the end of the tail has disappeared. Yes
