The Cure He Proposes.

Senator White of California is a
really-and- truly reformer. At least he
wants to be. He proposes an amend
debate to be relevant to the subject
before the senate. That rule, could II
be put into effect. would be sweeping
in its operation. II would be more
than a mere reform-it would be revo-
luton.
Senator White has had nearly two
years OF IT in the upper house. He

is no limit to what the inhabitants
may say about climate and lemons and

senator has had a seat in democratic
national conventions; he was tempo

convention in 1855. when the delegates
did an unusual amount OF talking and
then nominated Cleveland by acclama-

The senator thinks that the senate

Let Him Hunt Duck.

Many of the newspapers are drub-

ing of the session of congress he went
away down the Atlantic coast to hunt
duck. 1t is true that Mr.. Cleveland
had only a few days in Washington

rule with presidents is to stick to the
desk In the white house during sessions

A Side Show Proposed.

A Chicago man who speaks as a
lifelong friend" of Mr.. Sherman. is
responsible for the recent announce
ment In various parts of the country in
favor of Sherman for president. This
lifelong friend takes the public into
his confidence far enough 10 let us all
know that there will be no scramble in
sherman's behalf. THE move OF his
friends to have his name presented
will be dignihed." For that matter the
lifelong friend suggests that "a col
ored man from the far South could
with propriety arise in that convention
and nominate Sherman. for one of our
contentious will be that he is a man
Of the nation and not of any particular
state"
Say. rather. that for convention pur-
poses Sherman is a man OF this hemi-
sphere; some good colored man from
far South America would fare as well
as anybody else in undertaking to pre-

And made the wish had often wished

While reused from the sleep of two CEN

OF a dismal madrigal.
A Puritan maiden gathering came
With her clogs on the coobiestone

Meath the spreading beech near the
