the Boston Herald, is not unreason'
able:
Recently two gentlemen driving a
wagonette. were smoking, when a
spark falling from one of their cigars
set fire to some straw at the bottom
of the carriage.
The flames soon drove them from
their seats, and while they were ex-
tinguishing the fire, a countryman,
who had for some time been following
them on horseback, alighted to assist
them.
II have been watching the smoke
for some time" said he
"Why, then, did You not give us
notice." asked the astonished travel
ers.

are so many new-fangled notions now

more strikingIy illustrated Tn the extra session last year the Morgan resolution recognizing the Cubans as Delligerents passed the senate, and was sent to the house. Here it was buried among the clerks papers on the desk of "It." No house committees had been appointed, and nine-tenths of the legislation of the senate had no hopper In which to fall when it reached the house. By the will of the ma jority of the house, under the rules of the last house, "It' practically controlled the senate.
 The house committees were appointed on the last day Of the session, and were not deluged with the accumulated bills until the beginning of the regular session In De- cember last. The Morgan resolution was sent to the committee on foreign affairs. "It' designated Robert R. I1itt, of Illinois, as its chairman, and the resolution was buried as completely as though 1t had been sent to the committee on rules. Although nearly every religious body in the United States asked for its passage, and state legislature after state legislature passed resolution favoring the propoitton, no action whatever has been taken to date.
 With the whole country apparently clam bring for decisive action, the committee has remained silent The senate Is thus practically stalled by the inaction of the house, for which "It' alone seems to be responsible. Wise senators forecast the Hawaiian situation by the Cuban situa- ton, and this adds to the fury raging In the south wing or the capltoi E1Vel lhe staid Senator Morgan has denounced the overshadowing and overwhelming power at the other end of the capitol, and the care ful and classic senior senator from Mas sachusetts has followed in his wake; but the climax was apparently reserved for the senator from Chicago, the nomenclator Of "It." The house regards 1t as the cap shlef of senatorial courtesy, and the nation at large to say nothing of other nations will undoubtedly confirm It's judgment.
 'Tt is a strong man in strong place. Positive in conviction and absolute in ac- tion he Is as picturesque figure as ever dominated a parliamentary body. He has blazed a new path over the heath or par liamentary procedure-one that has been followed by his political opponents, and one that he is now enlarging. To run new house successfully under the rules of an old house, and to the apparent satis1ac- ton of the new house, Is certainly feat of more than ordinary interest. There are daily rumors of revolt, but they never ma terialize. Nothing so far has occurred to fan into a blaze the alleged discomfort in the committee on foreign affairs. The mal- contents of the extra session have been silenced, although no longer craving places on important committees.

Judge Banks a Favorite

From the Florence-S Standard Journal
 Judge J. J. Banks, who Is a candidate for reelection as circuit judge of the Bir- mingham circuit Is one of the ablest judges in the state. He is a man of fear less integrity, a lawyer of ability, well versed in the intricacies of the law, and an excellent executive officer with the capac- ity to dispatch business with great rapidity. He is a fine judge and his reelection will be to the credit and honor of the Birming ham circuit. Judge Banks held court here one or two terms, and it was remarked on all sides that no abler judge ever presided over the circuit court in this county.

Syndicate a Fact MIR. Thomas t..
Shryock, the treasurer OF Maryland and one
of the members Of the board OF public works,
said few days ago that there were intnia
tons that the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
will not be the only bidder for the State
interests 10 the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.
In the Baltimore San OF Saturday il was
stated that there lie expectation Of bid
from a syndicae of capitalists who want To
get possession of the canal presuma hly TO
build railroad on the tow path from Cum
berland at least as far as Williamsport
Mr.. Shryock says this is entirely correct,
although he is not yet at liber ty to state
where the bid will come from
Mr.. Shryock says the board Of public
works. at least rs far as he lie concerned,
must receive a bid for very substantial
sum before he will vote for sale, rs he
will never consent to a sacrifice of the
property.
The announcement that the Balti more
and Ohio Railroad Company is not likely
to be the only bidder for the canal will be
acceptable news TO the people OF Western
Maryland 1t is feared that the only object
of that company in seeking to gain posses
sion of the canal is to let it go to ruin 10
