The WhistIiDg Girl.
Chicago Post.

chicago HOSl.
Queries and Complaints has ruled in
answer to the confession of lady that she
whistles popular airs about the house,
that it is not lady-like to whistle. 1t seems
to us that this is rather sweeping deci-
sion and we advise the lady to take an APP
peal. We assume that the lady spoke of
her own house, and If she is a good whistler
and a perfect lady, who stops whenever it
is ntimated that she is making too much
noise we should certainly advise her to go
ahead and whistle. Whstllng girls are not
81 common that we have not been able to
keep track of them, and we have never
known reputable girl who whistled who
was not a good daughter, jolly sister, and,
in time, a first-class wife. AS a rule, the
whistling girl exercises her talent at the
proper times and places, differing therein
from that intolerable nuisance, the
whistling boy. Wtlistling is most admira-
BILE accompaniment to the morning diversion
of making the bed or du ting the drawing
ROOM facilitates the labor and promotes
cheerfuness of disposition. We do not
mean to say that we advise every girl to
learn to whistle. for we are only arguing
for those girls with whom it is spontaneous
but we should as soon think of throttling
the robin or the meadow lark or the thrush
as of deprivng the whistling girl of her
notes of happiness and buoyancy. BY all
means go ahead and whistle. trusting to
your own good sense to know where to
quicker up your lips and when to stop.

A GInring Abuse.

Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
Glaring are the abuses of the second
class mail privilege, which the Loud bill
sought to correct, the abuse of excessive
railway charges to the government is even
more glazing and calls even more loudly
for correction 1t is stated by Mr. Villas,
for example that the government is paying
in rentals for postal cars each year enough
to build the cars and something more be-
sides. The life of a postal car is about
twenty years and in any single year of it's
service the railway gets from the govern
ment rental more than equal to the cost
of constructing the The publishing
house of Houghton, Mifhin & Co. referred
to this matter i'm writing to Washington OPP
posing the passage of the Loud bill, saying
that they objected TO having their so-called
serial paper-covered publications thrown
out of the second class of mail matter when
1.-The United States government is paying
a much higher rate than it ought TO the
railroads for a larger amount of mail than
the railroads are actually carrying, and Is
also paying for the use of postal cars mora
than a million dollars a year i'm excess of
what it cost to build the cars" More
than 81. 100000 paid by the government
each year for the use of postal cars a bove
what would be needed TO build the said
cars! That is an amazing fact, If il be a
fact and we have never seen the claim
disputed since Mr.. Villas first gave currency
TO figures of substantially the same pur-
port Obviously fair rental for the cars
would reduce the present annual postal
deficit of So 000.00 TO $l20 1000 by much more
than $1,000, 600

The Erie wants a Subsidy.

A dispatch last night from Wabash says
At a conference with General Superintend-
ent Coe, of the Erie Railroad, and COM
mittee of three citizens from North Man
chester, respecting the change in the main
line of the Erie so that it will pass through
North Manchester instead of two miles
south, the official stated that the company
had the change in contemplation. the
project being to leave the present line at
Bippus, build north and west through North
Manchester and strike the old line again at
Akron. This would necesstate the con-
struction of fifteen miles of track and
would leave Disko, Laketon and SerVia
without railway facilities. Superintendent
Coe stated that he would put surveying
party at work in a few weeks. Chester
township, this county, will be asked for a
subsidy of 100000 to make the change.

Washington, March 16.-The repub-
lican leaders in the house are pressing
for an early adjournment and it is
said their course meets with the tull
approyal of the president. All save
three appropriation bills have gone
TO the senate. The postottice bill was
taken up in the house Tuesday, and
the appropriations and navy commit
tees are working daily to get the last
two bills, the general deficiency and
naval into the house. May has
been fixed by several prominent house
republicans as the date beyond which
the session would probably not be
prolonged. The democrats of the
house generally favor an early ad-
1ournment, although there is no un-
animity among them on the point.
Neither is there on the republican
side. 1t is admitted on the house
side that the question will depend
entirely upon the attitude of the SEN
ate.
HOUSE.
Washington, March 10. The house
has agreed to consider the bill for the
relief of the legal heirs of the victims
and survivors of the Maine disaster
as soon as the postottice appropriation
BILL which has just been taken up in
the house, is out of the way. The
postoffice bill carries S9S962, 800 be
ing $95S,39l less than the estimates
and S3,296,962 more than the appro-
priations for the current year. Dur
ing the general debate on the post
Office bill, the members eagerly took
the committee of the whole to discuss
various political questions and the de-
bate accordingly covered wide
range. Messrs. Griggs (dem., Ca

SENATE.
Washington, March l6.-After the
passage of numerous bills from the
general calendar, the senate began
consideration OF the measure provid-
ing for a national system of quaran-
tine. Little beyond the reading of
the bill was accomplished, some desul-
tory discussion arising on an amend
ment offered by the committee, but
no progress being made on the gen
eral bill.
