Extraordinary Transformation.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

We do not vouch for the story that
Jefferson, once discussing the constitu-
ton with Washington, abruptly asked,
"of what use is the Senator" He had
just poured out a cup of hot tea into a
SAUCER. and Washington replied, "You
have answered II yourself; the Senate is
the saucer into which we pour our leg.s-
lation TO cool it," But to-day IL is the
piping hot teapot of the House that
does the cooling. while everything that
Is poured into the senatorial saucer inn
mediately sizzles and Kisses. This is an
extraordinary political transformation.
II the Senate Of the United States
finds itself In chaos. IL is only because its
rules COR the mumbling old customs which
IL calls rules) have brought II there as IL
designed with deadly skill for that very
purpose. The great moral OF the legisla-
tive. paralysis conjoined with reckless
playing fast and loose with the nations
honor. into which the Senate has fallen.
Is that the rules must be changed so that
the Senate can transact its business in-
stead of, as now, threatening to ruin all
private and public business.

Revertng TO the proposition introduced

From the chicago Chronicle (Dem).

And after the daily augmented vol
ume of smoke rolls away-smoke which is

and Secretary of State, now so viciously
assailed not only by republicans. but by
Shose who ought at least to treat them
with common civility, have pursued the
only course consistent with the obliga-
tons and the dignity of the nation. Their

The British government would not be
able to suspend the collection OF taxes II
the United States were to pay back TO
that government the unexpended balance
of the Alabama award. Mr. Curzon said
in the House of Commons the other day
that the balance was something like
100000. But it appears he was mistaken.
few years ago the balance of the fund
held by the treasury, out of the Sl5,OO0OO
paid by Great Britain was SLS5; the re-
mainder had all been paid out for claims.
II is believed that the SIS has before now
been expended for postage stamps TO
carry letters TO persons inquirng about
the fund. so that there is not cent of
the fund left.

They may succeed, in so far as Nevada IS
concerned. But the rest OF the country

The fishing and hunting are among Flor
ida's great attractions. A great many
wealthy persons invest money in the state
in order that they may enjoy the sports,
and thousands of tourists, who are not in
vestors, visit the peninsula year after year
TO fish and hunt. IL seems however. from
the reports that if something is not done
to preserve the fish and game, the time will
come before long when Florida will cease
TO be famous as a fishing and hunting
ground. 1t is said that the laws for the
protection of the states fish and game are
ample. but they are virtually dead letters
upon the statute books. "There are no
laws in Florida more recklessly violated
than those designed for the protection Of
fish and game" says the Times-Union
The county courts are constantly filled
with picayunish cases growing out of isti-
cum fights or petty larcenies. But very
few offenders against the game laws ever
find themselves in the courts. AS a mat
ter of public policy the Floridians need to
enforce their game laws.

According to the New York Suns fig
ures North Carolina has the smallest pro-
portion of foreign-born residents of any
state in the union. The proportion in
Louisiana is per cent, the lowest in the
list except North Carolina, where the per-
centage in 1890 was one-fifth of l per cent.

The New York World announces that It
has employed Mr.. Williams Jennings
Bryan to do some writing. which will be
published exclusively in its columns. This
IS a little queer, seeing that Mr. Bryan is
opposed to monopolies, and also to great
aggregations of wealth. The World is a
gold bug organ, is published within few
blocks of Wall street. and is owned by a
man worth millions upon millions of dol
lars. 1t may be, however. that Mr. Bryan
IS going to work for the World not for
