Sir John Macdonald, the first prime
minister of Canada, was fond of relat-
ing this story to illustrate the need Of
an upper house:
''Of what use is the senator asked
jefferson ss he stood before the fire with
O cup Of tea in his hand, pouring the
tea into the saucer.
"You have answered your own ques-
tion," replied Washington.
"What do you mean?''
"Why do you pour that tea into the
Eaucer?'
''To cool it. +"
Even SO" said Washington; "the
senate is the saucer into which we pour
legislation to cool.
BalmorA is greatly larger estate
now than it was when first it became a
royal residence. To the original 10, 600
or 1900 acres were soon added the
5000 acres Of the adjoining Birkhall
estate. Then in 1878 the forest Of Bal
lochoule was purchased-another TO-.
600 acres-and there have since been
more recent acquisitions.

HE WAS A BN... LEADER.

Interesting "reminiscences of One of Wash.
ingtoD's Comrades In Arms.
Washington had the stuff in him
and the kind of mind that enable
man to govern and influence other
men," said General William o. Butler,
q son of one of the four famous Eight
ing Buffers of the Revolution, himself
a major general in the Mexican war and
a candidate for the vice presidency who
barely missed being elected. my IA
Their knew General Washington as init
mately as did any Of his staff" said
General Butler in 1855.
HE always said that General Wash
ington possessed more of the qualities
that go to make up great man than
any of the leading figures Of the Revo-
luton. Greene came next to Washing
ton, he thought, in force and ability.
No other man could have done what he
did. Modern historians have but little
idea of the difficulties Washington ex-
perienoed. Outside of his position as
general in chief there were so many
things to worry and annoy him. The
chief military trouble was with his
own intimate friends, relating to ques-
lions of rank. Especially difficult was
General Washington's position when
Lafayette came to our aid, and congress,
as you know, made him a major gener-
al at once. This action greatly offended
the older officers, hot headed fellows,
sturdy, dashing fighters generals of
brigades, and colonies who had made
the continental line what it was-and
yet they had to take their orders from
man but % years of age, who had never
been under fire and was even unable at
first to communicate with his officers
except through all interpreter.
''In the paciication of these officers
General Washington showed the greatest
tact" said General Butler. Eyes, gen.
tlemen, he said to them, it is true that
Lafayette is but %, that he was made
major general by congress upon my rec
ommendation. What else coull I do? He
brought us IL, 900 stand of the best mus
kets Europe could produce (the French
musket of that day weighed 9 pounds,
was very carefully made, had particu-
larly good lock, while the English fire
lock weighed IL pounds, and it's lock
was clumsy, badly fitted and very prone
to miss fre) and 5000 sabers, 1000
pairs of military pistols and bits for bri
dies, and the stirrups and other iron
work for saddles, besides 1900 cavalry
carbines or musketoons. Without these
arms we could never have equipped our
army. Then he brought and caused to
be sent to us about $500, 900 in gold. It
is not too much to say that but for La
fayette's aid just at the time it came
our army must have been disbanded for
want of equipment and arms.
- "These. representations soon .quieted
the testy and hot blooded continental
generals when they were made in his
forcible way by General Washington.

A capital idea and measure of

-Grse the resolution. and trust

save time, money and deal of
unnecessary political excitement.
There is entirely too much ieois

sometimes conflict and then the ex
pense of annulling is necessary.
1t is a very expensive thing to run

no NOVEMBER SESSIONS.

Nv NV fl IfN SESSIONS.
The house has rejected the pro
position looking to constitutional
amendment to have November
sessions of the general assembly.
One Of the most interesting de-
bates of the past week was that
upon the bill to repeal the agricuI-
turai lien law. Mr. Rogers fought
hard for his bill. and it was shown
that the house was pretty evenly
divided, but the bill was kill
ed.
The bill relating to landlords
liens for supplies furnished tenants
was partially discussed, but no
decisive action has been taken.
METHOD OF FILLING OFFICES.
Mr. Magill has two bills looking
to the method Of filing Offices.
One which has gotten a favorable
report is to provide for the cleo
tion of all officers, appointive as
well as elective, by the people.
The other Is to require appoint
ments to be made upon the recon.
mendsti"ns of Legislative delega-
tions.
