The Record was Not Broken.

just before a%djourning for the holidays
the Senate devoted al hour to passing pri-
vate pension bills, and ran 1873 Of them
right of the reel.
1t was a great performance, easily beat
ing two a minute, but it was not a record.
breaker either as to speed or as to total
diurnal output,
The annals of the Senate show that on
one occasion that body passed ia bills in
45 minutes, the average time per bill being
1888 seconds. This beat q previous record
of 24A seconds. But even that perform
ance was outdone by one of 100 bills In 90
minutes, making the splendid time Of
23.07 seconds. The merit Of this last per-
Torrance Is sometimes ~impugned on
the ground that ii out of the $50
bills were vetoed, in one of them, for
example, the Senate overlooking the fact
that the would-be pensioner had twice
deserted, the second time not returning.
But 1t is hardly fair to expect attention to
details in turning off twelve dozen bills an
hour. The highest claim, however, we
have ever seen made for the Senate by those
on whose figures the records rest, Is hat Of
80 bills in 80 minutes, bringing the time
down to 22l2 seconds.
In volume of output there has been
nothing Of late, 80 far as we know, to equal
the Senate's performance a few days ago Of
passing over 400 special pensions in one
week, out Of which the Hous passed and
sent to the President 24O in one day.
While. therefore, the Senate's current
batch Of 1873 bills is q fair example Of the
rapid whirling Of the legislative mill, yet
IL previous efforts were correctly reported,
1t does not hold the speed record.

Nine, Fifty.three, Naught.

Eight men, of nine picked out by nobody
in particular and by few in general, get to.
gether in the Windsor Hotel. They want
room. Most people who had heard Of the
Nine supposed that they would meet in the
Madison Square Garden.
Eight of the nine men, picked out by no.
body in particular and by few in general,
meet at the Windsor Hotel and appoint
fifty.three men, who will have the pleasure
of meeting at the Windsor tomorrow and
forming n new Republican Organization"
A fine constitution the ffty-three can get
up, and excellent bylaws. No feeling heart
doubts that the new organization, consist
ing at present of sixty-two men at the
outside, and all very much outside, is able
to make or borrow a constitution and by
laws that will look really romantic in red
morocco, with gilt top, gilt letters on the
back, and a medallion of the Hon. WILLIAM
LYsoNG STRONG, eating tobacco, on the top
cover. Primaries it can get, and seconda.
ries, and enrollments and reenrollments
as long as it has the price. These are not
the essentials of a party. as the Nine seem
to suppose. A party needs members; and
where are the Short Mines of the Windsor
to find them2
As q matter of sound political figuring it
can be proved that 8 plus SO equals o. We
commend this proposition to Gen. SAM

positors, out Of whose savings they had
been built, should put In n demand for
their quarters and half dollars, how could
he satisfy them3 On what fund could he
draw to pay theml To ask the question Is
to answer 1t. There would be no fund at
his disposal, and all he could do would be
to fall back on Congress, and have the de.
posits made good through the form Of in.
creased taxation or the issue Of a new loan.
To meet sudden demands or crises Of this
character the ordinary well.regulated saw
ings institutions rave their surplus funds
to fall back on, besides the securities and
mortgages in which the moneys intrusted
to them have been invested. II the Treas.
ury had a surplus Of billions OF dollars, no
Secretary could allow a penny Of it to be
used for such a purpose without the specific
authority Of Congress.
1t may be that Mr.. GARY has in contem.
plation the printing Of bonds, principal
and interest payable in gold, to be issued
against the nickels and dimes left with his
Postmasters by men, women and children
over ten years old" II that is the pro.
gramrne, it is not a system Of finance that
would commend itself to any n except an
interested silver mine owner.
The proper function of the Government Is
to enact such legislation as will make saw
ings possible and not to worry itself about
their collection and investment.

To THE EpIron OF THE SUN-Sir: The sharp CAM

lately witnessed IN the Austrian Rcichsrath. and re-
sultei in the downfall OF the Badeni ministry, IL
not without Its parallel in the history of other
legislative bodies. A German booKworm has found
the record OF a surprising case OF parliamentary
no less n man than the stern republican Marcus Cato,
and used against the dictator, Caius Julius Cesar. It
is the chatty AuluS GeliIus. In his " Soctcs Attirae,"

Ing Ateius Capito. The passage, freely tran lated.
reads thus:
THE Consul Caesar called upon N. Cato to give his
vote. Cato was opposed To the measure under dis
cuSsion being brought to pass, because II seemed to
him to be hurtful to the republic. Therefor, with 4
view OF putting on the measure, he began to talk
against time. and sought to take up the whole dRy
with his speech. For whenever "A senator was called
upon for his opinion, II was his privilege. before Civ
ing his vote. to speak on any other subject lie chose
and as long al he pleased. When Cesar saw that
Cato was going to keep on talking all day, he sunI-
moned the apparitor. and commanded him to seize
prison. Thereupon the whole Senate arose and
escorted Cato TO prison. Caesar. seeing the bitter feel.
ing aroused by his hlgh.handed act, desisted and set
tn" Senator free"
II is evident that Cato, using his Senatorial priv

a vote on the measure proposed by the Dictator.

from me 81. James 3 GuscTc.
A good many rumors have been current lately
in certain circles as to tho movements Of a no
torious person Of undoubted literary and dra-
matte ability. who has lately been released from
prison. and about whom the less said the better
we refer to the author of Lady Windermere's
Fan" From Dieppe he has lately changed his
place of residence to Naples. But we regret to
learn that at least one leading theatrical entire
preneur has failed to grasp the fact that this
dramatists career at respectable London play
houses must be considered to be closed.
have unimpcachalle authority for stating
that u new comedy from the pen of the author
of " Lady Windcrmere's Fan has just been of
tered to and accepted for production by "A we'll
known ana popular London manager. That the
initial performance of The piece is intended to be
delayed for somclittlo while is iolerab!y certain,
and the play is oStcnsibly written by a man OF
another name, the public being left to discover
his true identity beneath the psCudonym adopt
cd for the occasion. But tn I the fact is as we
have stated may be regarded as authentic.
1t may be added that this person was inter

ously misunderstood. That Catholics regard the
Roman Catholic Church as tho sole depository

Of salvation, is true; but they do not exclude
those who, without fault Of their own
through the force of carly education or what
ever other cause, are outside the Church but
are yet In good faith. For this reason theo-
logians draw a distinction between the body

The Detroit for Hayti.

The orders directing the cruiser Detroit to
start for Port au Prince to-day do not
contemplate the need of a larger force
there, as she is simply to take the place of
her sister ship, the Marblehead, which is
to visit Navassa and then resume patrol
work. But it is plain that the restless
ness of Hayti, since the German incident,
requires watching, and an American vessel
will probably be found at Port au Prince
during a good part of the winter.
1t has become evident that Hayti vaguely
hoped that the United States would inter.
fere to save her from abject surrender to
Germany, and that when she found no like
lihood of such Intervention. she collapsed.
But hers was clearly not a case under the
Monroe doctrine, nor had she recently lone
anything to tempt US to tender our good
offices in her behalf. Some years ago our
Government was anxious to secure Mole
St. Nicolas as a Gulf naval and coaling sta
ton. 1t was a matter of business, having
the advantage of increased trade and en-
ployment for the neighborhood. Yet an
cutlery was made in the island itself, as
If the place were the entering wedge for
~annexing all Hayti.
Our Government may not have been
greatly fiattered at finding that becoming
q part Of the United States was looked
Upon with disfavor and dread by the Black
Republic. AS our country seems to us good
enough to belong to, and this opinion has
been shared by such applicants for admis.
sion as Hawaii and st. Thomas, the an
tipathy aroused in the Black Republic at
the remote contingency of being coaxed or
forced into the American Union was not
quite appreciated here. 1t is true that the
Haytinn Constitution forbids the alienation
of territory, but public or official sentiment
seemed to block the way even to our leas.
ing Mole st. Nicolas, under ultimate Hay
tian sovereignty, or to a grant like that
which Hawaii made to us in the case of
Pearl Harbor.
We do not say that, If Hayti had been
less shortsighted In this matter, there
would have been no compulsion in the
Lueders affair. But we do think that, In
case of troubles, foreign or domestic, the
habitual presence of American war vessels
at Mole st. Nicolas would be, on the whole,
a source of reliance for law md order, In.
stead of an additional source of anxiety.
President SAM is unquestionably glad now
to have the Msrblehead at Port au Prince,
and to know that, when she leaves, the
Detroit will take her place.
There was, In fact, an almost ludicrous
reminder of Hayti's former fear that we
might get from her, for a good round sum
a station at Mole st. Nicolas, with Its re
sulting local benefits, when she wished u:
to shield her, with our cruisers. from Kaiser
WILHELM's wrath. However, IL the pres
ence of the Detroit at Port au Prince
primarily to look after American interests
is also a source of reliance for the preserva
tion of order there. Hayti is heartily wei
come to it, and perhaps at some time, If ".
should not meanwhile have acquired {
Gulf station elsewhere, she may think tina
