He Kept His Vow.

From an anecdote told by William
Eleroy Curtis in his yankees of the
East" it may be inferred that the at
titude of the small boy toward a fence
is the same in Japan as in other
countries, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
Mr.. Gobel the missionary, built him
self a modern house on what is
known as THE Bluff" south of Yo-
kohama, and surrounded his grounds
with the first fence that was ever built
in that part of the world. 1t was made
of bamboo pailings, and the boys of
the neighborhood used to annoy the
good missionary greatly by rafting
sticks against it as they ran along the
street.
The British admiral lived just above
him, and had a very natty Tommy At
kins for an orderly. He wore a little
round cap on the northeast corner of
his head, and always carried a little
cane of rattan in his hand. One morn
ing, having been sent with q message
he appeared before the admiral with
his face bruised and his uniform bat
tered and torn and covered with dust.
Mercy on us!' exclaimed the ad-
miral, in establishment at the specta-
Gle. What has happened to your"
Hi beg your parding, sir" replied
Tommy, but as Hi was coming along

the missionary's fence, sir, e come

Evidently Representative Cannon
was not pleased by the threat made by
Senator Tillman to defeat the general
deficiency bill unless claim of South
Carolina for few thousand dollars
a claim arising out of some transact
tons between that state and the gov
eminent in 1S12-were permitted to re-
main in it.
1t seems that the claim had been re-
jected by the House and Senator Till
man had had it put in the bill when
the bill was pending in the Senate. In
conference committee the item was OBJ
jected to by the House conferees, and
it was stricken out. 1t was then that
Senator TiIlman served notice on Con-
gress that if the item We're not put
back in the bill he would talk the bill
to death.
Representative Cannon was very
much in earnest in discussing this mat
ter in the House yesterday, and for
two reasons, namely, because the Sen
ate had forced the House to accept its
amendment to the deficiency bill and
because one SeldloI hdu SOilbS4ACN
Congress to comply with his wishes.
He announced it to be his purpose in
the next Congress to see to it that the
Senate did not dictate to the House
in matters where it was clearly the
right of the House to dominate, and,
also. to take measures to put it out of
the power of a senator to hold up
great appropriation bill in order TO
have his way in respect to items in
which he is interested. AS Mr.. Cannon
is to be the Speaker of the next House,
it may be regarded as certain that his
announcement was no idle threat.
1t certainly ought not to be in the
power of the minority to compel the
ma jority to accede to its demands.
This is a government of the majority,
and if the government is to stand the
majority must rule.
The method adopted by Senator TILL
man to get the appropriation he want
ed would put stop to legislation if
it were generally permitted. All that
a senator would have to do to get an
appropriation for his state or for a con-
stituent would be to announce that he
would block all legislation unless his
wishes were complied with.
But the fact must not be overlooked
that Congress is intolerably slow in
paying claims-claims that have been
audited and admitted to be just. The
scandal of the Methodist Book Con-
Germ, South. is yet fresh in the public
mind. Congress failed to allow the
book concerns claim until a lobby got
to work and succeeded in getting 1t
through both houses. OF course the
lobby was entitled to its compensation,
and the payment of the amount due
the lobby was the cause of the scam
dal. But if it had not been for the
help extended by the lobby the claim
would not have been adjusted yet. And
it is probable that this claim of South
Carolina has been before Congress
more than half a century. 1t ought
to have been paid long ago or an an
nouncement made that no allowance
would be made. It is the way Con-
gress treats it's creditors that gives
rise to such scandals

WAITING FOR THE RESULT.

The Washington Post is looking for
very happy results from the corre-
spondence between the President and
Mr.. Clark Howell. in regard to the
Presidents appointments in the South
1t says:
If the President should succeed in
convincing Mr.. Clark Howell of the
Atlanta Constitution that his course
with reference to appointments at the
South has been both enlightened and
beneficent-and we do not see how it
can be otherwise-one great obstacle
in the way of human progress will
have been removed. In time Mr.. Clark
Howell will give us the flower of his
thoughts in this connection, and then
rapturous contentment will perch
upon our caves and MARBLE. Mean
while, let us still our palpitating hearts
and wait.
We see no reason why the Post
should be disappointed. Mr.. Howell
succeeded in drawing an interesting
letter from the President. He want
ed to know several things, and no
doubt the President wanted an oppor-
tunity to say several things. What
the President did say. however, does
some things he said on a previous oc-
casion. For instance, the New York
Sun, commenting on the Presidents
letter to Mr.. Howell, says that the
President, in that letter, declares that
he wants to consider the feelings of
the people of each section in making
appointments, so far as he can with
out sacrificing principle and that
from that principle he will not "swerve
an hairs breadth"
What is the principle from which the
President will not swerve? According
to the Sun, in the Howell letter it is
fitness for office, but in letter which
the President gave out for publica-
! ton on Nov. 81 last, it was the recog-
milton of the colored man as such; the
| bestowal of federal Office upon him as
a special reward for superior efforts,
the use of the appointing power to en-
courage the negro to further efforts.
and thus promote the general elevation
of the race"
The Sun is one of the leading Re
| publican papers, and therefore must
be seeking truth in pointing out this
apparent inconsistency of the Presi-
dent. Perhaps Mr.. Howell can induce
the President to write another letter.
and explain this inconsistency. If he
can he will render the country serv-
ice that will be appreciated.

Jests of Senators.

Francis z. Leupps "Humors of
the following:
John c. Calhoun, when Vice Presi-
dent, did not believe that, as the pre-
siding officer of the Senate, he had any
right to call senators to order for words
spoken in debate. John Randolph of
Roanoke abused this license by open
ing a speech with the words: Mr..
Speaker mean, Mr.. President of the
Senate, and would-be President of the
United States-which God, in his in
finite mercy, avert" and then launch
ing into one of his characteristic III
rades.
Calhoun's name recalls notification.
When this heresy was at it's most ram
pant stage, the Northern senators de-
pended largely upon John Holmes of
Maine, as champion of their side of
the chamber, on account of his ready
wit. John Tyler tried to badger him
one day by asking what had become of
that political firm once mentioned by
Randolph as James Madison, Felix
Grundy, John Holmes and the devil"
The partnership" answered Mr..
Holmes, promptly, has been legally
dissolved. The senior member is dead;
the second has gone into re-
tirement; the third now ad-
dresses you; and the last has
gone over to the nullifiers, and is
electioneering among the honorable
Senator's constituents
Clay and Webster were not habitual
humorists, but both had the gift of en-
PERTAINING as we'll as of enthralling
their audiences. Clay ran most to
illustrative anecdote. While he was
in the House, a prominent politician
deserted the Wing party in the hope
of starting a general revolt. To his
dismay. he found himself quite alone,
and then bent all his energies to get
ting back into good standing. The in
cient reminded Clay of story. Said
he:
"A stage-coach took aboard a pas
senger who insisted upon riding with
the driver, and who diligently drew
upon the contents of a bottle carried
in his great-coat pocket. When his po-
tations at last overcame him, he fell
off. The coach stopped long enough
for some charitable travellers to alight
and pull the poor fellow out of the
mud.
Hal! he exclaimed, as he looked
down at his tattered garments, we had
quite a (hic) turnover, didn't we?.'
No, no., answered one of his res
cuers, there was no turnover. You
only fell off,
Everyone Joined in assuring him
that the coach had not upset.
We'll he remarked ruefully, as he
tried to climb back to his former
perch, If I'd known that Chic)
wouldn't have got off,"
On a certain afternoon the Senate
clock got fit of striking in the midst
of one of Webster's most effective
speeches. After it had struck four
teen or fifteen, Webster held up one
finger. Mr.. President" said he, 1.-The
clock is out of order. / have the floor"

A NEW USE FOR THE INJUNCTION.

An injunction preventing strikers
from injuring the property of the cor
poration or company by which they
are employed or interfering with en-
ployes not out on strike is very
common legal order, but is not the in
junction issued by Judge Adams of the
United States District Court in ST.
Louis on Tuesday, restraining the
Grievance Committee of the trainmen
and firemen of the Wabash Railroad
from encouraging those men to strike
a rather unusual order? 1t amounts
practically to an order of the court
against a strike. 1t is true 1t is d.
rected to the committee of the dissat-
isfied men, but it might as we'll be
directed to the men themselves.
The Grievance Committee will now
have to appear in court and show
what reasons it has for urging a
strike. Will not that amount practi-
cally to an adjustment by the court
of the differences between the dissat-
isfied employees and the railroad? The
railroad, of course, will undertake to
show that the reasons are not good
ones. 1t will be for the court to say
whether they are good or not. If it
does not think they are, will 1t make
the injunction permanent, and punish
the members of the committee for con-
tempt of court if they advise a strike,
or punish the trainmen and firemen if
they strike?
Only the trainmen and firemen of
the Wabash system favor strike. The
other employees of the great system are
willing to continue in the employment
of the company on existing conditions.
But if the trainmen and firemen
should strike they would paralyze the
entire railroad. system. 1t does seem,
therefore, as if there should be a tri-
bunal for the settlement of the diff
ferences of employers and employes--a
tribunal TO which such differences
should be referred. even though one
or both parties to them were against
such a reference. In about every la
Dor dispute the public has an interest,
and very often more workmen are af-
strike. In the Wabash Railroad case
about 1,100 men are dissatisfied and
probably 5000 or 1000 are contented
with their treatment and wages. The
rights of the 5000 or 1900 ought to have
| some consideration.

You only had that man to tell
That for no money would you sell
Something in your possession

An article was under ban
Prescribed, forbidden, and he'd plan
Some way or means to get it.
The surest method to employ
To make him think his chance of Joy

A bolted door he longed to break,

Unlicensed goods; his venison steak
Was ever out of season.
His grouse in midsummer he'd kill;

CLOSURE FOR THE SENATE

The course pursued by Senator Nor
gan to emphasize his opposition to the
Panama route for the isthmian canal
has caused a good deal of talk within
the last day or two in Washington in
favor of a closure rule for the Senate.
II is probable that there would be
no extra session of the Senate if
Senator Morgan had permitted vote
to be taken on the Colombian treaty.
If there are other senators who are
opposed to the ratification of that
treaty they have kept very quiet. At
no time, however, has there been any
doubt in the minds of its friends that
it would be ratified as soon as vote
on it was taken. Senator Morgan in
sisted that no vote should be taken
during the Flfty-seventh Congress I'M
less certain amendments which he Of
fered were accepted. AS the majority
were against the amendments he pro-
ceeded to talk against time-to talk
until the end of the Congress, and thus
prevent a vote on the question of rati-
flying the treaty.
1t will be recalled that some years
ago Senator Carter of Montana de-
feated the river and harbor bill by
preventing vote upon it by the same
tactics adopted by Senator Morgan to
defeat the Colombian treaty. There
was some reason in the course he pur-
sued because there was no probability
that an extra session of Congress
would be called to pass that bill, but
the President promptly called an ex-
ira session of the Senate when it be-
came apparent that the Colombian
treaty was not going to be ratified by
the Fifty-seventh Congress. 1t is diff
ficult to understand therefore why Sem
ator Morgan prevented a vote on the
treaty. He does not hope to prevent a
vote at the extra session of the Sen
ate.
1t is apparent that there ought to be
a rule in the Senate by which debate
could be shut off in that body at the
will of the majority. At present i'm
portant measures-measures that are
kept back for one reason or another
until the last few days of the session
can be defeated by any senator who
chooses to talk against time.
The question of having a closure rule
has been discussed very often, but for
one reason and another it has been
thought advisable to try to get along
without it. The Senate is getting to
be so large, however, and the interests
the necessity for it is becoming more
apparent. 1t would not be surprising
if a successful effort were made in be-
half Of such a rule at the opening of
the ifty-eighth Congress.

Nearly forty years ago one cold
morning Mrs. Gosnell heard a child
crying at the gate of her farm house,
near Kansas City. She went out and
found a negro girl of three years, cold.
hungry and abandoned. She carried
the child into the house, and there
ii lived and grew up. When the child
grew large enough she was required
to help about the house, to attend to
the children and otherwise make her
self useful. She was faithful servant
and made no complaint until a few
weeks ago, when a suit was brought
in the county court by Sadie King. the
former founding, to recover from her
benefactors wages for thirty-odd years
at the rate of 50 per week, amounting
in all to 1892. There can be no doubt
that there is some shyster lawyer back
of the suit hoping to get pretty con-
siderable percentage of any sum that
may be recovered.
