HELPLESS LORD CHANCELLOR.
A Trying Time In the British House
Lords.

of Lords.
The responsible office of chairman
or president of Legislative body is ons
that generally carries with it both pow
ers and privileges. There are, however;
exceptions to the rule. In the British
house of lords it is not the lord chan
cellor, but the whole house that is adj
dressed as My lords
The speaker is the sole judge of all
questions of order in the house of COM
mons; in the house of lords such mat
tiers, when there is a conflict of opinion,
are decided by the whole house, and not
by the lord chancellor.
If several members of the house OF
commons rise simultaneously to take
part in debate, the speaker decides who
shall speak first; but if two or more
peers rise together in the house of lords,
the lord chancellor cannot decide who
shall first be heard. 1t is the voice of
the house that determines.
Happily, etiquette is so strong in the
gilded chamber that it rarely happens
when the house by cries expresses its
desire to hear one of the contending
peers that the others do not give way.
But some years ago there was notable
scene over the question whether peer
who had risen from the front tory bench
should be heard in preference to a peer
who had risen from the front liberal
bench.
Neither noble lord would give way,
and to bring the curious situation to
an end, Earl Granville moved that the
liberal peer be heard. The house di-
vided on the question, and decided by d
big majority that the tory peer should
be heard first.
1t is difficult for the average man tic
understand why the lord chancellor
should not be able to exercise authority
which is vested in the chairman of every
public meeting; but there is a subtle
constitutional point involved in this p
parent1y ridiculous procedure
All peers are equal legislators in
the house of lords. No one of them can
be vested with authority over the 9th
ers Therefore, when a point of order
is involved, it is the whole house, and
not the lord chancellor, that must de-
eide the issue.-London Sunday Maya

HER OPINION.
A Young Lady's Painful Introduction
to Great Artist.


Of things one would rather have left
unsaid," the following, told by the late
Sir John Millais, is good illustration:
81 found myself seated one evening
at a rather grand dinner next to very
pretty, gushing girl, to whom had not
been introduced. She began converse
ton directly she had finished her soup
and, as it was May, she commenced with
the inevitable question: suppose
you've been to the academy?
81 replied that had.
"'And did you notice the Millais I;
Didn't you think they were awful dank s
1 can't imagine how such things ever
get hung!'
''She was going on gayly in the same
strain, when suddenly the amused
smiles of those around her and the sig.
nificant hush brought her to sudden
stop. She colored rather painfully and
whispered to me in frightened voice:
What have I done? Have I said
anything? Do tell mel
Not now,' replied. Eat your din.
ner in peace. and I'll tell you by and
by
''She did so rather miserably, vainly
trying to extract from me at intervals
what the matter was. When dessert
came I had her glass refilled, and told
her to drink very quickly while ]
counted three. She obeyed without pro-
test, and took the opportunity when
she could not speak to say:

friends. London Academy.

The opposite positions taken by
Louisiana's two Democratic Sena-
tors on the question of tariff has
become matter of great interest
not only in this State, but in all
parts of the country. We imagine,
however, that McEnery's views
will altogether fail to have that at
traction for the Democrats of the
country that Catfery's will have.
Both are heralded as having made
great speeches. but that of CATER
'ey's only has the right ring, and
will live in tho hearts of Democrats
long after McEnery has been for
gotten. At the close of his long
speech Mr.. Caffery epitomizes his
position in a few words that are
jewels of conciseness and pure
Democratic doctrine. viz:
! believe in tariff on luxuries.
/ believe in an excise tax.
/ believe in an income tax.
| believe in tariff on imports placed
SO as to put money IN the Golfers of the
government and not in the pockets Of in
dividuals.
/ do not believe in protection save for
the purpose Of protecting each citizen in
the enjoyment Of legal. constitutional
and natural rights.

A Catechism Lesson.

Bro. Hicks, of the Shreveport
Progress fires string of nine ques-
tions at us, to answer which really
takes more time and space than
their Importance entities them to
receive. However, rather than let
him think we are disposed to avoid
answering, we will give our replies,
emitting his questions, viz:
1st. AS Methodist an. chris
tian we believe mans religion
should control his politics that he
should refrain from advocating
anything he believes to be wrong.
I'd. We have no knowledge that
ballot boxes were ever stuffed in
Caddo parish.
Sd. Having no knowledge of
Caddo affairs, we think it would be
presumptious on our part to de-
nounce that parish, as suggested.
4th. We do not believe that bal
lot boxes were wantonly stuffed in
every parish in the State in the
last election.
9Th. Not believing any such
thing we did not denounce it.
9th. We do not believe Captain
Pharr was fairly and honestly elect
ed governor of the State.
7th. We believe that the majori-
ty OF the whites voted for Foster
beyond any doubt.
9th. We believe a majority of
the negroes voted for Pharr.
9th. We did not advocate going
behind the returns, and beieve the
81 members of the Legislature who
voted against it were right, and
the AZ who voted for it were wrong.
The place to make such investiga-
tions is in the courts of the parish
es where irregularities are charged.
The Legislature very rightly refused
to proceed in an irregular and IL
legal way. If Bro. Hicks knew of
ballot box stufing in Caddo or any
other parish, or knew anybody that
he could prove such things by, he
has failed i'll his duty rs a citizen
in not having the matter investi-
gated by the courts. Bro. Hicks
should uphold the majesty of the
law and contend for its application
and observance, and not join in ev-
cry senseless and wild charge that
irresponsible people make, But let
him call on them to make their al
legations before the courts.
