killing Time.

Both the Senate and the House just now
are engaged, to a greater or less degree,
in killing time. Therefore the suggestion
of Senator Earle of South Carolina and
Representative Jerry Simpson of Kansas.
that the houses proceed to organize,
so that they may take up and dispose of
the public business. is timely and TO the
point. II is clearly understood that it will
be from three 10 four weeks, if not longer.
before the tariff bill is reported to the
Senate. The committee Is making some
extensive alterations in the bill as 1t came
from the House. The dispatches say that
certain Of the republican leaders OF the
finance committee are working upon the
bill day and night, and that they hope to
be able to report it to the Senate during
the first week in May. That indicates
general revision of all the sections.
While the Senate is waiting upon the re-
porting of the tariff bill, II will probably
kill the time at debating Cuban, and Gre
tan, and Armenian, and other resolutions,
and the arbitration treaty. The country
could very well do without about 80 per
cent. Of these debates. The House, like
wise, is killing time upon comparatively
unimportant subjects while waiting upon
the Senate Neither house can take up
matters of great moment, because of the
lack of organization.
Why should this do-nothing policy go
on? There are various measures of great
interest before congress, which might be
considerably advanced, IL not disposed of,
while the Senates finance committee is
considering the tariff bill. There are the
pooling BILL and the bankruptcy bill, and
the anti-scalping bill which might be
taken up And there is also the matter
of a monetary commission which demands
attention. There are. indeed, numerous
matters which might well be considered
if congress were in working shape But
the senator's seem unable to make a salts
factory deal among themselves, and the
speaker of the House supposes that there
is Unanimous concurrence of opinion
that the public business does not require
the complete organization of the House at
this time" The speaker seems to be una
BILE to distinguish between concurrence
and submission to coercion. His partisans
on the floor of the House have been afraid
to protest against his will, and have con-
Cured because they were not able to do
anything else.

A Caller Upon Mrs. Mckinley.

DR.. Mary Walker, who strolled up the
walk leading to the white house wearing a
new spring style stovepipe hat, trousers
with a crease in them, and other man-like
toggery. including boots, had a mission
and that mission was to see the wife of
the President. says the Washington CORE
spOndence of the Chicago Tribune.
There were others coming from the
white house and some of them were saying
of Mrs. Mckinley: isn't she lovely?
wouldn't have missed it for all the world
What sort of a costume"
Or. Mary walked with conscious digni-
ty. She thought the remarks referred to
her
What a lovely creature she isr' ex-
claimed another young woman coming
down the steps.
DR.. Mary walked with more conscious
dignity. BY this time the front door of the
mansion was reached.
Il want to see Mrs. Mckinley" said
the doctor in her usual Photographic
tones.
'Sir?'.' said the doorkeeper.
Il wish to see Mrs. Mckinley" was the
reply.
Mrs. Mckinley is not receiving, her re-
ception is just over, sir"
Then l suppose it is impossible to see
her to-day"
Yes. sir"
well, 1 will call tomorrow, please hand
her my card
The doorkeeper looked at it and replied,
yes, ma'am."

Mckinley, matchmaker.

A romantic story comes from Washing
ton. 1t is to the effect that the Presi-
dent, who loves a lover, has just arranged
a little matter in the way of reciprocity
in trade of hearts, which should result
very happily. The government pays
bonus in the case, which both parties to
the contract will enjoy, Notwithstanding
the government had nothing to do with the
decker.
1t appears that among the early pill
grims to Canton after the election was one
Jones of Cincinnati" designated by a
fictitious name and residence, for present
purposes. He was "a years old, handsome
and a stanch republican. He called merely
to pay his respects, as he informed the
President-elect He had no AK to grind
he said, but merely wished to shake the
hand of the great leader who had routed
the enemy and saved the country. All of
this, and more to the same effect, he told
the Napoleon of Protection. He had none
of the manners of the office-seeker. He
was frank, cheerful and chatty. The
Presdent-elect was pleased to find among
his visitors one disinterested patriot, who
had not come to plead for pie. He asked
the young man about himself; where he
lived. how long he had been voting, etc
And at last he wanted to know if his Wis
itor was married.
And in that question was where the as
tute major put his foot in It," The young
mans face took on a look of pain, not to
say positive anguish He twirled his hat,
shuffied his feet and looked embarrassed.
But his self-possession did not desert him.
He informed the President-elect that he
was not married, and feared he would not
be- He dearly loved one of the sweetest
and most accomplished girls in the world,
and he was sure she was quite as fond of
him. But she had set a standard for him
which he feared he could never reach. She
had said the man she married must hold
an honorable position under the govern
ment, and receive a comfortable salary.
She had said further that he must be able
to take her abroad, to some interesting
foreign country. When he had learned
these conditions IL had almost broken his
heart, because he knew he had no pun with
the politicians and could not hope to
achieve what his lady-iove desired.
1t is said Jones of Cincinnati told his
story so charmingly that before he left the
President-elect had told him to make a
selection of a dozen or so consular positions
in Europe which he thought his sweet
heart might like to visit as a bride, and
that when he got to the white house he
would see that he was landed in one of
them Washington dispatch, which
tells the story, says the nomination of
Jones of Cincinnati" TO a fat consulate
will shortly be announced. and that
arrangements for the wedding have been
completed.

A Neutrality-suspicious.

On the suburban trains running out of
Chicago, card playing is an acknowledged
feature Of transitory life, says the Chica-
go Record. Some of the coaches are
equipped with tables for devotees of the
game.
Coming in recently a suburbanite named
George Affolter was called from his news
paper to make the fourth in a game of
whist, which had been interrupted by the
departure of one of the players The
hands had been dealt around, and Affolter
noting there were thirteen cards, said
What is it? Hearts?"
1T happened that hearts were trumps
and an affirmative answer was given.
On the first play Affolter gleefully threw
away a king, followed it next with an
other high card, and was overjoyed to see
that the man at his elbow was obliged
to take the third trick and the fourth
and the fifth, and so on indefinitely.
On the second hand Affolters partner
led a king, and Affolter thought they
would have to take it, but to his delight
the opposition gathered in the trick and
proceeded to harvest all the other twelve
as well. Affolter was almost hysterical
with joy. His partner looked strange.
Things went on in the same way two more
deals, and the Affolter faction, owing to
the new mans headwork hadn't taken
trick, when at length the suffering part
ner said:
Say, you will excuse me, but you play
tht most idiotic. outrageous, internal game
of whist that ever occurred in my expert
ence."
Affolter was dumbfounded. "WhistY' he
cried, biankly. why, heaven, man, I've
been playing the game of hearts as hard
as l knew how"
And nobody dared speak until the depot
was reached

A Bishops Hat.

We are all sensitive as to our personal
identity. Smith doesn't like to be called
Jones, and Adams shows a good deal of
the "Old Adam when he is mistaken for
an expressman. The London Realm tells
a story Illustrative of this sensitiveness.
The late Lord Ailesbury was standing
bareheaded in well-known hatter's shop
in Piccadilly while his hat was being
ironed. A bishop-who, being still alive,
has not reached his turn for posthumous
anecdotes, and must consequently be
nameless-entered the shop in full attire,
and, seeing Lord Ailesbury bareheaded,
mistook him for a shopman.
Taking off his own head-covering, the
bishop said: II want to know if you have
a hat like this?"
Lord Ailesbury surveyed the hat and
its owner, and turned on his heel with the
curt remark:
mo. haven't; and If I had, I'd be hung
before I'd wear it,

Alderman Guckenheimer's ordinance
establishing rules of the road" on the
street is based upon common sense, and
its passage by council is a step in the
right direction. Something of the kind
has been wanted for a long time-ever
since the number of bicycles on the
streets began to assume considerable pro-
portions The provisions of the ordinance,
however, are not directed especially
against the bicycle riders. Indeed, their
operation will afford the riders protec-
ton. AT the same time. the ordinance will
put a check upon those reckless riders
who deserve to be brought up with a
round turn. Fast riding-"scorching'
upon the streets is prohibited. The limit
of. speed is placed within reasonable
bounds. If there are riders who insist
upon burning the wind they will have
to go out of town to do it. Within the city
limits they must ride with a proper re-
gard for the safety of people who walk.
There Is no hardship to riders in that pro-
vision.
There is nothing onerous in the order
is the natural thing to do. Most bicycle
riders learn TO keep to the right while
learning TO manage their mounts. But
there are others who disregard the rule.
The order in the new ordinance applies to
other vehicles as well as to bicycles, which
provision is to be commended. The hacks
were the greatest offenders in the matter
of driving to the left around the squares.
often, too they were driven recklessly, to
the danger Of both pedestrians and wheel
riders. More than one accident has been
attributable to hacks being driven the
wrong way around the squares at high
rate OF speed.
The provision that hacks and other pub
Nc vehicles shall carry lights at night is
commendable. The ordinance might have
gone further to good purpose. But the
beginning has been made. and II will prob
ably follow In time that all wheeled vehi-
cles will be required to show lights at
night 1t is impossible to tell from sound
In every instance Just how wheeled We
hicle in the dark is approaching. The
rule, keep to the right" however. will in
a considerable degree lessen the danger Of
collisions with dark vehicles
II should be understood now that the
ordinance has been passed and made pub
lie that It Will be strictly enforced.
