Somebody who has access to the
quasi private correspondence of a New
York concern and who Is unable %
keep a good thing to himself, makes
public the following extract from .
letter written to the house by friend
ly firm in an interior town:
Upon our recommendation, Mr.. and
Mrs. of our city, will shortly
visit your New York house, with view
to making extensive purchases. II suited,
they may prove to be valuable patrons.
Be sure to pay particular attention to the
tastes Of Mrs. (secOnd wife).
Kindly consider this Communication con.
Hdential.
1t Is hardly necessary to direct at.
tention to the implication contained in
this friendly hint from one business
firm to another. The point which the
out-of-town concern wished particular.
ly to emphasize was that no amount
Of attention bestowed upon Mrs. -
would be thrown away. for the simple
reason that she was Mr. -'s second
wife. Long and careful study Of the
relations that exist between a husband
and his second wife seems to have con-
vinced the intelligent mercantile class
es that the latter Is very apt to exer-
else greater influence over the former
than any first wife possibly could. We
are left In doubt as to why this should
be so. but people who are engaged in
vocations which demand the exercise
Of more thausoDdinary good judgment
tn -aeaiing WIN humanity in general.
and whose aim IL always to please, are
not likely to err greatly when they as
sumo that, while a husband may oc.
casionally disagree with his first wife.
he seldom or never finds 1t pleasant to
differ from bis second, particularly on
n shopping tour. There is in the letter
quoted above a suggestion for that
large and worthy element of our popu-
latiOn which Is striving constantly to
explain the vagaries and idiosyncra-
sizes Of human character. 1t cannot be.
Of course, that q husband Is so entire
ly chastened or cowed by his first wife
that he submits gracefully or slavishly
to the domination of his second; nor
is It to be presumed that one who has
passed safely through his first matri-
monial venture has been so well
trained that he invariably makes a
better husband for the second than he
did for the first woman Of his choice.
No amount Of theorizing over this mat
ter will result in a satisfactory con-
clusion. 1t Is probable that In the
present instance there were special
reasons why the New York firm should
be particularly pleasing to the second
wife. The out-of-town concern could
not safely enter into these reasons. A
hint was thought to be sufficient. and,
without knowing anything to the con-
trary. we must imagine that the New
York firm acted on and profited by II.

The announcement OF the death Of

teresting features Of his long practice
among the eminent folk who were bis
patients The list includes Heine,

cured many Of them Of various real or
fancied maladies. he seldom admins
tered or prescribed q dose OF drugs.
Exercise. abstinence and occupation
were his therapeutic agents: but know.
ing that orders to take these simple
remedies were seldom obeyed. he re-
sorted to various little tricks to attein
the end. To one patient who needed ex.
ercise. he gave a little sugar and wa
ter, with orders. to walk from the Bas-
tile to the Church Of the Madeleine
every morning before sunrise. and u;
every sixty-eighth step to crack
grape-seed between his teeth. Another
nervous idler was ordered to move intt
four rooms on the fifth story Of a house
with no elevator. to have each roOll
papered a different pattern and shade
Of green, and to select. himself, the
rooms and the paper, and to superin-
tend all the work. By such devices. hs
lured his patients into doing what they
otherwise would not have done. and
thus was enabled to effect many cures

Republican Congressional Committee at
Washington printed and distributed about
twenty million documents. In the fall
campaign OF 1Ss3 the same committee
distributed il like manner in the neigh
borhood of six million documents. 1t is
probable that more than half that num-
Der for both years were issued by the
Democratic Congressional Committee.
No account is taken in this calculation
of the tons of non-frankaole campaign
documents-amountins to something like
a hundred million pieces for eithcr-whlch
were printed and sent to voters by the
two national committees. This is ex-
ccpted for an important reason. ALL or
practically all, campaign literature han
died by the congressional committees is
carried by the United States mails at
the expense of the Government. By viz
tue of an act of Congress, the Congress
siona5lc Record is a frankable docu-
ment. BY an extension of this privilege
all extracts from the Record are like
wise immune from the payment Of post
age.
The purpose is obvious. The Record is
the daily chronicle of both branches of
Congress. 1t is made a frankable docu-
ment to afford the people proper facil-
ties for informing themselves on all i'm
Esortant matters on which they are ex-
peclcu 10 exercise lnelr .1TdncnlSe.
Under the construction Of the ranking
privilege q member Of Congress may have
q speech reprinted from the columns of
the Record and may distribute the same
through the mails without cost. The only
restriction governing this right is the
requirement that there shall be no altera-
ton In the text OF matter franked. BY
a still further extension of this right it
has become the settled practice within
late years of campaign managers to dis
tribute noteworthy speeches delivered by
members in THE House and Senate and
reprinted from the Record, by the mil
lion, as shown above, by simply affixing
the name of a Senator or Representative
to the official penalty envelope. Not only
does Congress justify this. but upon the
proper rccuisition of a member. the Gov
eminent furnishes the manila envelope
bearing the customary penalty clause
and the of the sender. without re-
quiring payment therefor. The only ltmi-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-Specia1.-The
Republican headers have been consicef-
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of taking the Con-
ETess.oGai Committee 10 Chicago, thus
making a departure from an inmemo-
rial practice. AS Yet, no definite conclu-
si;n on the subject has been reached
liver since there has been such thing
as a Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, 1t has had its headquarters in Wash
GnEtor, Its work having been chiefly con-
fined 10 the distribution OF Congressional

tween the two organizations is well de-
fined and no conflict Is possible, the

implies. working in the interest OF con-
sressional elections.
The chief incentive TO the move to take

10 Chicago is the fact that most of the
members OF the committee are from the
West and desire to be situated nearer
their districts during the campaign. The
tendency of late years. however, mas
been 10 locate the organizing forces OF
campaign management nearer the centre
OF population. For years national head
quarters Of both parties were located in
New York. In more recent years they
have been in Chicago, for the reason that
chicago is more centrally located and
more easily of access to active campaign
workers. Washington has offered GER
tain advantages, on the other hand,
which are thought by some to outweigh
the considerations operating in favor of
Chicago. AS the work of the Congress
sional Committee Is largely confined to
the dissemination of statistics and Of
fetal information best obtainable from
the departments of the Government, 1t
IS argued that its removal from the ma
1ional capital viii moro or less seriously
handicap its operations 1t has been
suggested by members that If the com
1ltttee is removed TO Chicago. the 1itera-
~ bureau of the organization should be
allowed TO remain where i has always
been. The matter is now under consider
alton by Chairman Babcock, Represent

QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE.

4 highly interesting question OF official
precedence has been under quiet discus
sion in the inner circles of social diplo
macy at the Capitol for some time past.
The question this time rests between
Speaker Henderson and Senator Frye.
presiding officer of the Senate since Vice
President Hohart's death. The issue is
whether the Speaker is entitled to pre-
cedence at public functions; and the con-
troversy, while never serious. is just the
same assuming a shade Of L<rsonal pique
and Disappointment.
The Speaker and his friends contend
that the presiding officer of the House
ranks next to the President upon the
death of the Vice-President. He is
elected. they say, by the representatives
directly elected by the people, like the
President and Vice-President. while the
position Of the presiding officer of the
Senate who succeeds to ME seat of the
President is entirely different in
this respect, must be apparent.
Speaker Henderson believes in main
tanning the dignity of his office at the
head of the popular branch of Congress
and has the authority of Bentor's
Thirty Years View" (vol. /. p. 1881 and
Of Mrs. Dahlgreens work on Washing
ron Etiquette" IN her chapter on ''Some
Points on Etiquette" in the appendix of
the book, to sustain him in his position.
So far as can be discovered, Senator
Frye has no such important authority for
the position he assumes. but it IS under
stood that the Maine Senator is not so
much disposed to assail the Speakers
contention as he is to maintain the posi-
ton in which he was intrenched by the
Presidents own act, inadvertent or
otherwise.
at State dinner given at the White
House early in the season. Senator Frye
was recognized as holding priority of
rank over Speaker Henderson. Since then
the Speaker has regularly declined to ac-
cept all invitations to official functions
where he and Senator Frye were likely
to meet. This was not from any per-
sonal feeling, but from strict regard for
the dignity of his position as Speaker,
which he could not afford to jeopardize.
AS stated above, it is not certain wheth-
er this recognition was dnadvertent. But
whether or no. the Speaker stands on
his right to precede an official in CO.
ordinate branch Of the government whose
position derives its Importance from
tonporizing eNpedient to tide over the
vacancy created by the death of the reg
