Under the startling caption, "shouid the

| son Dan Maclaren). in the current NO.
of the Ladies Home Journal. discusses
the grave question: what should be done
with superannuated minister's
OF course, he does not recommend inc
facetious suggestion embodied IN the u'is
OF his article, but after making due al
lowances for exceptional cases he eh-
nrcsees the opinion that all ministers
should be retired at the age Of 60. While
he recognizes the fact that there are
many ilustrious men who retain their
energy and vigor long after THIS pcIico'
he thinks the average mind begins TO
stagnate at maturity, and after that re-
fuses TO expand or receive new IDEAS. In
other words. although the crystallized
mind will not oppose new ideas, 1t VIII
not adopt them, and a useless sameness
sets in This lack Of assimilation puts
the preacher out Of touch with his age
and makes him an incubus on his con-
gregation."
Or. Watson. Of course, suggests ainui-
ties for the retired ministers, but as such
annuiues would necessarily be small, they
would. Of course, mean poverty for the
unfortunates who had outliyed their use
fulncss.
While tho article in the Ladies' Home
journal applies specifically to ministers
the same line of argument would, OF
course. obtain in the case of men who
follow other vacations. Indeed. the lay
man would stand in far greater need of
new ideas and progressivenes than
preacher, though we daily see hundreds
Of active businessmen who are well up
in the COS and 7Os. True. one finds fogies

are rather the exception. As a matter
Of fact. neither DR.. Watson nor any other
man. be he never so discerning, can lay
down a general principle which would
meet this proposition People cannot be
averaged" w like statistics or COM
modities in trade Every man must be
considered individually. and any general
classification viii surely work harm. We
might cite a thousand cases Of illustrious
men in every calling who arc still active
and progressive and blessed with receptive
minds. though far beyond their allotted
threescore and ten. On the other hand,
there is an equal number who long since
abandoned their pristine vigor and are
now inert and comparatively useless. TO
shelve this latter class would be easier
said than done. And verify it would be
a cruel undertaking. for never is a man
so pitiful as when without employment.
1t is well enough to theorize on Or. Wat
sons article but we trust his suggestions
will not be put into practical operation.

THE WHITE HOUSE.

For many years past the White House
al Washington has been regarded as in
sufficient and unsuitable for great official
functions" Time and again it has been
proposed to alter it TO suit changed con-
6itions, but nothing has as yet been done.
That these discussions will shortly crys-
tallizc into a determined effort TO enlarge
the building or secure a new home for
our presidents none can doubt. plan
has been devised 10 build two wings at a
cost Of $4,000.
The inadoquacy Of the building is par
ticularly noticeable when public recep-
lions or entertainments are given there.
On such occasions makeshfts are neces-
sary in order TO handle the crowds. and
even these Preparations do not prevent
much wear and tear on the furniture and
furnishings, to say nothing of great III
convenience to the President and his
family.
In the New York Herald of Sunday last
picture IS published showing how the
White House would look If enlarged ac-
cordlng to the $4,000 plan, which is said
10 be favored by the President. The sim
plo dignity and shapeliness Of the struc-
ture would not be marred, the front
would be extended right and left, and the
portico would remain as it is. Thus
ample space would be afforded for public
receptions and all other official "func-
tons" while the President would have a
home in which he could have as much
privacy az ha liked.
BY the way, the old question as to how
the Presidents house came to be called
the White House is to the fore again.
Some say It is so called after 1.-THE White
House" on the Pamunkey. which was the
Widow Custiss home when Washington
married her, while most others contend
that the name has grown out of the fact
that the building always was painted
white.
Martha Washington's white house was
destroyed during the civil war;" while
in the occupancy of some Of General Nc
Clellan's troops. The name, however, sur
wives in the plantation and in the railway
station.

HH ALL MEANS.

A Washington telegram says that soon
after Congress meets resolutions will be
introduced in the House providing for
two amendments to the Constitution, in
accordance with the new conditions
arising from the acquisition Of island ter
ritory-one to modify the fourteenth
amendment, relative to citizenship, and
the other to effect the uniformity Of rev.
enue laws. Representative Moody, the
telegram continues. says It is obvious
there will have to be some discrimination
with respect to the Philippine Islands in
citizenship and revenue laws.
Though the telegram does not so de-
clare, it is obvious that Mr.. Moody pro-
poses TO Introduce these resolutions.
Moreover it would seem obvious also
that Mr.. Moody recognizes the doctrine
that the United States cannot acquire
territory except for the purpose of MAX
ing State or States Of 1t.
But doesn't recognition Of that doc
trine become bowling travesty upon
republican form Of government when It
is coupled with a proposition to make
fish of one set of States and fowl Of an
other? And how. We may ask, will Mr..
Moody who is a Republican, represent
ing a Massachusetts district, harmonic
his proposition as to the suffrage question
with the plea on which his party
gave the ignorant negroes OF the South
the ballot? II occurs 10 MS that Mr.
Moody would place himself, and his
party in a very illogical position.
However, we sincerely hope that no
thing will deter him from. introducing the
| resolutions and pressing them to serious
contieration Discussion Of them could
but result in exposing the iniquity of the
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
and it is possible that the end might be
| a ripping up Of both. BY all means, Mr..
Moody, fire in your resolutions as soon
| as practicable.

The Midland Virginian expresses the
hope that the Legislature will deal libe-
rally with the Agricultural Department
OF our state Government and make such
appropriations as will enable Commits
sioner Koiner to carry out the plans he
and his board have in view. Our under
standing is that the Office is self-sustain~
ing by reason OF the fees derived from
the analysis Of fertilizers. Investigations
made by Legislature after Legislature has
shown that good work is being done,
though an economy IS enforced here
which does not prevail In other States
with which our department is often un-
fairly compared. The aid given TO farm
ers in the matter OF fertilizers and in the
analysis Of soils and minerals is valua-
BILE. in other States farmers Institutes
are held upon a liberal scale, and it seems
TO US Virginia would find them profitable,
too. This whole subject IS worthy of the
attention OF representatives, OF farming
communities, and they would do well to
study the subject thoroughly.
