biennial SESSIONS TALK.

Ii is doubtful if the New York Legisia-
ture will submit to the people of that
state for ratification the proposition pend
ing before it providing for biennial SEES
sions of the legislature Too many of the
politicians, like the politicians of Georgia,
want to get together at the state capital
at least once year TO gossip about poll
tics and make political states.
The fact that biennial sessions would
be benehcialsto the people in many ways
does not have a feathers weight with
them. They are fighting the proposition
with all the arguments they can marshal.
For one thing. they say the smaller states
can get along very well with only one
session every two years, but that a great
state like New York, must have a session
of the legislature every year They don't
seem to remember THAI there are only six
states which have annual sessions, and
that some of those which have biennial
sessions have pretty nearly as much pub
lie business as New York-lllinois, for in
stance. that has had biennial sessions
since 1913, and has had only two extra
sessions in all that time.
But we are not so much interested about
what New York does in the matter as we
are in whattwe hope Georgia will do.
There ought 20 be public spirit enough
among the men who Compose the present
legislature 10 submit a constitutional
amendment to the people providing for BIZ
ennial sessions. Fully $4,000 year would
be saved to the people and vast amount
of utterly useless legislation would be pre-
vented by them.

A German newspaper writer has made
some interesting calculations bearing upon
subjects to come before the peace confer
response to the Cars disarmament prop
osition. He finds that there are in all civil
lied countries not less than 5,25OOOO SOL
diers and that the military establishments
comprise the ne-thirty-second part of the
total population of the civilized world. In
other words IF every soldier in the world
were to shoot down thirty-two persons, no.
body would be left upon earth who was
not a soldier

PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER.

= It is early yet to begin bringing forward
candidates for the nomination of the
great parties for President. II is pretty
generally conceded that Mr.. Mckinley will
be renominated by the Republicans
Among the Democrats. however. there is
a wide difference of opinion as to the most
available man. There is no doubt that at
this time Col Bryan has the strongest
hold on his party, but it is contended by
some of the leaders that he is steadily
losing ground, and that he win not be the
CT dice of the party when the time for the
meeting of the nominating convention ar
rives SIN, It must not be inferred that
he is not a very popular man, and one
that is going TO be hard to beat If, in fact,
he can be beaten.
Among the curious phases of the politi-
cal situation is the announcement that
some of the Democrats from the Middle
West favor the nomination of Augustus
VanNyck of Brooklyn. He is the man
who was chosen by Mr.. Croker to run
against Col. Roosevelt for Governor of
New York He is now the counsel for
company of which Mr.. Croker Is president.
One of the Missouri papers-the Kansas
city Starts advocating the nomination
of Mr.. VanWyck. 1t is doubtful if many
other Democratic papers of the West will
follow the Star in this matter. Mr.. Van
Wyck may suit Mr.. Croker, but he would
have to speak much more boldly for free
silver than he has yet before the politicians
of either the West or the South would give
him much announcement.
1t is evident that a combination is being
formed against Col. Bryan. There were
signs of II when the treaty was before
the Senate for ratification. Senator Cor
man was regarded as the chief figure in
the combination. II is thought that he
still has presidential aspirations. Whether
ne mas or not, 1t is very generally under
stood that he is not friendly to the can
didaey of Col Bryan.
The appearance of the name of Mr.. Van
WICK among the names of the presden-
tial possibilities must cause great deal
of speculation among the politicians. The
speculation is not likely 10 be about his
prospects OF success, but as to what politi-
cal move the mention of his name is in
tended to assist. Ii is not at all prob
able that he is being mentioned with the
expectation that he has any chance of
being nominated.

MandaIay.

By the old Moulmein pagoda lookin' east
ward to the sea.
There's a Burma girl asserting, and
know she thinks of me;
For the wind is in the palm trees, and
the temple bells they say:
Come you back, you British soldier;
come you back to Mandalay."
Come you back to Mandalay,
Where the old fotilla lay
Can't you ear their paddles chunkin'
from Rangoon to Mandalay?
On the road to Mandalay, where the
flynn fishes play,
An the dawn comes up like thunder
outer China 'crost the bay!
'Er petticoat was yaller an 'er little cap
was green,
An 'er name was Supi-ya w-lat-jest the
same as Thebaw's queen,
An I seed her first a-smokin of whack-
in white cheroot,
An a-wastin' Christian kisses on an
eathen IDOLS foot.
Boomin' idol made o. mud
Wot they called the great gawd Budd-
Plucky lot she cared for idols when
kissed 'er where she stud!
On the road to Mandalay.
When the mist was on the rice fields an
the sun was droppin slow,
She'd git 'er little banjo an she'd sing
"Kulla-lo-lo;"
With 'er arm upon my shoulder an 'er
cheek agin my cheek
We lister watch the steamers an the
hathis pilin' teak.
Elephints a-pilin' teak
In the sluggy,. equdgy creek,
Where the silence Jung that 'eavy you
was art afraid to speak;
On the road TO Mandalay.
But that's all shove bhind me-long ago
an fur away,
An there amt no buses runnin' from
the bank of Mandalay;
An I'm learnin ere in London what the
ten-year soldier tells:
"If you've card the East a-callin, you
won't never 'eed naught else"
No! you won't 'eed nothin' else
But them spicy garlic smells,
An the sunshine an the palm trees
an the tinkly temple-bells;
On the road to Mandalay.
1 am sick of wastin leather on these
gritty PAWN stones,
An the blasted HengliSh drizzle wakes
the fever in my bones;
Tho | walks with fifty 'ousemaids outer
Chelsea to the Strand,
An they talk a lot o. lovin, but wot do

Beefy face an grubby and
Law; wot do they understand?
I've a neater sweeTer maiden In

On the road 20 Mandalay.
Ship me to somewhere east of Suez, where
the best is ike the worst,
Where there amt no ten commandments
and a man can raise thirst;
For the temple-belIs are calm an it's

MINISTER'S APPLAUD.

More than four hundred ministers of the
Methodist Church North, at meeting in
the Methodist Book Concern, in New York.
applauded last Monday when the Rev Sic
phen p. Cadman. a leading minister of the
Methodist denomination, said that the alb
solute inerrancy and infallibility OF the BIZ
bic are no longer possible of belief among
reasoning men,"
1t is not surprising of course, that there
are ministers in The Methodist denomina-
ton, as there are in all probability, in all
other denominations who, accepting what
is. called the higher criticism of the Bible,
hold the belief that the Bible contains err
rors. and that it is not infallible, but it is
rather surprising that there should be gen.
eral approval, at a meeting of four hun
dred ministers of that determination, OF
the sentiments uttered by DR.. Cadman.
There doubtless were ministers present who
did not accept the views of DR.. Cadman,
but they must have felt themselves SO
much in the minority that they refrained
from taking exception to them.
This matter is important chiefly as show
ing the progress made by the Bible inter
prefers of the DR.. Briggs school. When Dr.
Briggs ventured before the world with his
higher criticism, he was pretty generally
condemned. Now, apparently, his follow
ers are 10 be counted by the thousands
and they include ministers among all de
nominations. A question which troubles
orthodox ministers is. who is to be the au-
thority as to what is truth and what is er.
ror in the Bible?

"The 'Dreyfus situation in France was
very comprehensively summed up in
statement made two months ago by the
late President Faure of France to a
French missionary named Vienot, who had
come TO France from Oceanica to spend
a vacation. In the course of their CONVEX
sation M. Faure said he believed that
Dreyfus was innocent. but II would be
hard to release him now. as it would
cause the ruin of so many important men,"
OF the shipping subsidy bill, as finally
amended, the Baltimore Sun Dem) says:
Senator Frye's amendments do not cure
the great vice of the bill, which is not that
il promised larger bounties than are Of
fered by the existing law, but that il Of
fered these bounties virtually to but two
or three companies, whose officers and
agents have been the chief spokesmen in
it's favor at Washington. The conditions
prescribed In the bill are such that prac-
tically only two or three companies will
reap the benefit, other shipowners, as a
rule, getting less under it than they do
under existing law,
