Treaties and Legislation

Burrows of Michigan is quoted in the Washington correspondence of the New Orleans Picayune as threatening to raise the question of the constitu-
 tional power of the president and sen ate to make a treaty of reciprocity with Cuba. He said,' reports the cores pondent, "he was becoming more and more convinced that it was important to establish the principle that treaties
 involving the changing of tariff laws should take the legislative course of revenue bills.'' Bills for raising rev. enue originate in the house of repre- sentatives, and go thence to the senate. The houses ability to refuse to do its part toward carrying into effect a trade treaty made by the president and senate has been illustrated, whatever may be thought of its right to do so. As early as 17S6 the claim that the house was entitled to a voice in treaty arrangements was put forward pretty strenuously. President Washington and the federalists stoutly withstood
 this claim. Madison. then a member of the house, advocated it. but said he was sorry that an apparent inconsist- oncy or inexplicitness in the constitu- tion should have left room for differ ent constructions. .'-Hartford Courant.

Bill Arp's Spring Poem

It is not quite time to indulge in spring poetry. I tried it some years ago and strained my mind and shall not try it again. One poem is enough to make a man famous and I have never seen mine improved upon:- ''The bull frog bellers in the -ditches, He's shuffied off his winter britches. The hawk for infant chickens watcheth And fore you know 1t one he cotcheth, The lizard is sunnin' himself on a rail, The lamb is shaking his new born tail, King Cotton has unfurled his banner And scents the air with sweet guanner. The darky is blowing his stubborn And jerks the line with Gee, you
 fool"
 Adown the creek and round the ponds Are gentlemen and vagabonds, And all our little dirty sinners Are digging bait and catching min
 ners.''

BURLINGTON EMPLOYES.

The Burlington Railway system is the latest great corporation to voluntarily take steps for the betterment of it's workfngmen. It announces that on September 1 1t will advance the wages of all it's train hands to the extent of $5 per month. The $45 brakemen will pass out of existence on that day, when the minimum compensation for service at the brakes will be $50. Passenger conductors will be placed on standard wage of $125 per month, and increases will be made on every branch of the service. This means an addition of about $25,0OO month to the payroll of the company, and, of course, the men are delighted. They have made no re- quest for additional wages, positions on the Burlington being eagerly sought for by railroad men. But the earnings of the system have increased greatly in recent months, and the directors re- alize that the men are entitled to d share of the prosperity. This is the first general readjustment of wages on the road for ten years, and it places the Burlington on level with the best paying roads in the country. General Superintendent Rice, in commenting are now as we'll paid as those of any road, and they are as well satisfied. I desire to say for our men that probably not any road in the country can pro- duce more loyal lot" It is such gra- cious treatment as this that produces loyalty. New York Commercial

THE SUPPLY OF EGGS.

The annual supply of eggs in the United States is said to be about s. 300 GOO, 900. or more than 10O,OOOOOO dozen, and their value is equal to that of the product of our gold and silver mines. Some men eat two dozen eggs Q day, some do not eat two dozen in year. They are supposed to render cer- tain folks bilious. A raw egg may be digested in two hours. and one soft boiled in three hours. hard boiled in three hours and a half. fried in three and half, roasted in two and quar- ter. Did you ever roast an egg be- fore the fire. Place on top of it q straw. and when it is done the straw will make a half revolution. A well roasted egg is a delicious morsel. In the, days of wood fires it was more com moh to roast eggs than to boil them. Topchstone speaks of their being 'il- roasted all on one side" We are in- deuted to Pope for these lines: One likes the pheasants wing. and one
 the leg:
 The vulgar boil. the learned roast an
 egg.

South Carolina.

If it is to be a survival of the fightest in South Carolina, the state will de- serve the fate. She has lowered her politics to that point where extrava- gant personal assertion alone seems to attract attention and reward. The days of Hampton and Butler seem very re- mote. Both of these leaders, after years of brilliant service to the com monwealth, were driven from office. McLaurin, for an exhibition of growth in the study of national questions, is marked for decapitation. The existence of but one political party in the state has made discussions of issues super fiuous and at times impossible. Can didates for office find it advisable sim ply to coddle their hearers and abuse one another. Invective and vitupera- tion are the current coin of the stump The language and the gestures of the bar room and the curbstone seem to be obligatory upon all. It is accounted d dull meeting when the lie is not passed, and solieitous partisans are not called upon to restrain their favorites by display of physical force. To ig- nore blather is to incur the reproach of cowardice, and there is but one es- tablished way to resent it.-Washing- ton Star.

PHOENIX, ARIZONA. AUG. 25. 1sO
Tn. Ro,s of Today.

The Republican is in receipt of pos +al card from Pasadena, California. The sender is man who was willing +o souander 2. cent for the purpose or informing the world through the me dium of this publication that morally the world is advancing backward, and that if has gone a. good way in that direction since the time of George Washington, who could not tell lie Nowadays" he says, boys cannot tell the truth: they don't know how IL is not taught in the schools or at home" Honesty in business, he con tinues, Is omitted from the curriculum of the boys training. The first lesson in honesty many of them receive is in the jail or the penitentiary.
 The postal card correspondent of The Republican is not alone in the error or believing that the world is not as good as 1t used to be, or that the boys are less truthful The veracity of George Washington rests wholly on tradition. and it has been ascertained that the story of the hatchet and the cherry tree is the most widely circulated fib of the last two centuries.
 The purpose of the prevarication was a good one. and no doubt the effect Of it has been in many cases good upon the youth of the country. We can easily see, though, how it might be bad in certain cases. Many an ordinarily good boy would have been tempted to lie in circumstances in which George Washington is popularly supposed to have been found, and he would have given way to the temptation. The very strength of the youthful George would have been discouraging to these boys, and they would have despaired of ever attaining it. so that he would have ceased to be a model for them.
 Then, again, there may be in this de- generate age boys who would lie to escape punishment, but we believe there are only two kinds of boys who would wantonly destroy a cherry tree; one is the degenerate and the other is the boy too young to conceive of a difference between truth and falsehood.
 We believe that the world is gradu- ally growing better and better. the boys and all. Lying will never become entirely extinct, and neither will any other form of evil. That is too much to expect. If all the boys would quit lying and everybody would be good, we and our correspondent at Pasadena and the rest of us who are already good would cease to strive after heav- en, and would be content to remain on earth through eternity, which would not be the end designed for us.
 Thus it Is shown that sin serves a useful purpose in this world.

Tn. Continued Struggle.

All signs point to a recurrence of the distressing events of two years ago in the democratic county and territorial conventions at that time. Additional demonstrated that the primaries do not end all any more than death does. There is the afterlife of the manipu- lated convention in which the more things they were engaged in doing when they were cut off by the pri- msries.
 But it is only the skillful politician a primary, and the gentlemen who are working against Colonel Wilson are as skillful as they grow in this part of the country. Just what they intend to do now is not known, but it is certain that they intend to do something some time before very long, and that some thing and that some time will probably find the friends of Colonel Wilson sus- pended between the heavens and the earth. where they were painfully hang ing in the Smith-Wilson contest.
 The race is not to the swift nor yet is the battle to the strong The winner of the race is he who arrives at the goal first and the champion in the fight Is he who is not counted out by the referee at the close of the engage ment. The swift man may slip before he reaches the goal and the strong man may have a crimp put in his neck when he is not expecting it.
 But whatever may happen at Tempe on Wednesday need occasion no sur prise. for when democrats get together in friendly conversation it is the unex- pected that happens. The maneuvers on that day will be watched with the greatest interest.

know his France. His Paris he may have known, but proofs multiply that that is not enough for a French poli- tician who aspires to be a French statesman to know his Paris. In fact. he undertook to enforce an obnoxious law, of his discretion, without the slightest notion what forces he was gO- ing to encounter-of what in our Amer ican slang, he was up against
 When enthusiastic resistance con- fronted him on every side, the discom- fitted premier was fain to soothe him self with the notion, which he promptly promulgated, that the revolters were "royalists" Even if that had been true, 1t was by no means the business of minister of the French republic to say it. It is his business not to eX- aggerate but to minimize the oppoSi- tion that there still may be in France to a form of government now so estab- lished and so dominant as in the re- public, which is the most stable politi- cal edifice that has been reared on the ruins of the feudal throne. But, unfor- tunately. his opponents rise up and tell him that it is not true. They are Catholics, they tell him, but they are not royalists. and they point to the fact that the Frenchmen who have resisted his proceedings have inaugurated their resistence by singing the "Marseil- laise.'' To say that good Catholic cannot be a good Frenchman is to make declarat ton very menacing to the French republic if 1t were true. But the patriotic heat with which these good Catholics deny and reject the inn
 putation is of itself a sufficient answer and a sufficient proof that the prime minister of France does not know his countrymen.
 In this most unfortunate and per- plexed business the one fact which no observer can miss is that there has been a conspicuous absence of tact and consideration where they were very ur-' gently needed. Nobody can have fol lowed M. Coombes' proceedings without observing how much more German they were specifically how mucn more offf- ciany Prussian, than they were French. It is safe to say that a man distin- guished for want of tact cannot go far in French politics.-New York Times.
