The Democratic Defeat Foreseen-Reor-
ganization Now Not Advisable.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. In a letter
to political friend since election, Sem
ator Hill, of New York. declares that
he saw that the democratic party was
foredoomed to defeat on the Chicago
platform, which he could not bring
himself to actively or openly support.
Such being the case, nothing was left
for him to do but remain absolutely
silent and inactive. To the sugges-
ton, made in the letter which drew
the response from Senator Hill, that
active steps be at once taken to re-
organize the democratic party ION his
toric lines" the reply was made that
such a course would at present be i'm
polite, that no immediate necessity
for reorganization was evident, and
that delay was advisa BILE to give time
and opportunity to allay the rancor'
GUS feelings, jealousies and discords
which the recent conflict had aroused.

MAKING LAWS IN FRANCE


President Has No Veto Power Wheu
Bills Have Passed Both Houses.
The process Of legislation In tho
French Chambers is very simple. as
described by the ChautauQuan. Each
Chamber may initiate legislation upon
any subject except the finances; and
bill upon any subject Whatsoever must
be passed in all it's parts by majority
vote in both chambers In order to be-
come law. This is not only necessary,
but 1t is also sufficient: I. e., the Presi-
dent Of the republic has no veto power
upon the legislation Of the chambers.
Fhe Constitution provides a period Of
thirty days between the passage Of the
law by the chambers and its necessary
promulgation by the President OF the
republic, and reduces this period TO
three days In case the Chamber should
vote that promulgation is urgent With
In these respective periods the Presi-
dent Of the republic may demand Of the
chambers q reconsideration Of the meas
ure, and they are required by the Con-
stitution to accord the request If they
repass the measure by majority vote,
Tic ACoiuChS AAuSs yASAA O0O RAS~AANS
gate the law.
The chambers can also initiate tho
call of the National Assembly for the
purpose Of amending or revising the
Constitution. The chief question
which has arisen in the exercise of this
power Is whether the chambers can lin
t the action Of the National Assembly
by their agreement beforehand upon
the subjects in regard to which the
Constitution may be amended or re-
vised. The affirmative view of this
question would be a security to the
rights and powers of the smaller body,
the Senate, since the National Assem-
bly Is composed Of the members of the
two chambers In joint assembly, but
the more numerous deputies have es-
poused with great unanimity the mega
tive view; and 1t must be recognized
that they have the logic Of the matter
with them. The National Assembly is
the sovereign power In the Constitution
and cannot be limited, therefore, by a
branch of the Government, or even 10y
the whole Government, in it's action.
The National Assembly may consider
any subject it will when once it is or
ganized. The chambers in joint as
sembly also elect the President Of the
republic.
