For several days | noticed the worI
"panqueque" upon the bill of fare a;
the hotel and did not know what it
was. There Is a brand of wine from
one Of the Gillian vineyards with that
name, and supposed it was perhaps
the same thing referred to, although
II was difficult to understand why it
should appear among the desserts on
the menu DIT the dinner table and on
the bills of fare for breakfast. The
best way to find out about such things
Is to try them, and the next morning,
being In an experimental mood, or
dered n ''panqueque," which, to our
amaZement, was an ordinary griddle-
cake. Then it dawned upon my duh
perceptions that 'panqueque" spelled
pancake. | called the attention Of the
head waiter to the discovery, and he
seemed quite astonlshed. He could
speak English well and claimed to be
familiar with the cuisine of America.
Therefore he did not see anything un-
usual In my discovery, and rather
think he wrote the bill of fare himself.
for he remarked in surprised tone:
What do you call pancake In
America ?-Cor. Chicago Record.

These times are peculiar. Inter alias
they are so conditioned AS to make the
purposes and views of the fathers OF the
Republic material. And so quite often
we hear men say that Washington, JET
ferson or Hamilton said so and so. as
though that was the end of the argument.
Thus giving you single detached view
of a subject without any opportunity to
give the authors idea Of how ii should
be applied to present conditions. Rightly
viewed this will breed as much contempt
as would he stirred i'll the mind of Il
painter by simply praising one feature
of his landscape, with no expression or
apparent appreciation OF its relations to,
dependencies on, or notifications by,
every other feature or detail of the work.
Tout enSembe applies to one as well as to
the other. Taken all together the faith
ers were no more in accord than the
present generation. And if anyone
thinks they We're without passion or pre-
ludice let him read some such work as
McMaster's History of the People of the
two extracts from judicial opinions, each
rejecting different view of subject of
as vital Importance now as it ever was
before. One Judge announcing the
opinion of the court says -
The counsel for the plaintiff has laid
much stress upon that article in the con-
stitution which confers on congress the
power 'to dispose of and make all need
ful rules and regulations respecting the
territory or other property belonging to
the United States but, in the Judgment
of the court, that provision has no bear
ing on the present controversy. and the
power there given, whatever it may be,
| is confined and was intended to be con-
fined, to the territory which at that time
belonged to, or was claimed by, the Uni
ted States. and was within their bound
aries as settled by the treaty with Great
Britain, and can have no influence upon
a territory atterward acquired from a
foreign government. 1t was a special
provision for known and particular
territory. and to meet a present emer-
gency. and nothing more
4 Judge announcing dissenting
opinion says -
The constitution permits congress to
dispose of and to make all needful rules
and regulations respecting the territory
or other property belonging to the Uni
ted States. This power applies as well
to territory belonging to the United
States within the States, as beyond them.
1t comprehends all the public domain,
whatever it may be-"
We simply quote this as one Of hun
bred other illustrations showing that on
all subjects kindred to those on which
there is such diversity of opinion now,
the fathers themselves were equally divi-
ded. There are many questions on
