Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-05-14
UNITED STATES HOUSE
 OF REPRESENTATIVES,

It was on the side of Senator Han way brilliant thought and a daring one, this plan to seize a Speakership and apply it to his personal fortunes; for your Speakership is that office second only to Presidency, and comes often to be the latters superior in actual force. Those wise ones who designed the government intended the House of Representative to be re public. Through it's own groveling ab- jections, however, it long ago became an autocracy with the speaker i'll the role of autocrat. It sold it's birthright for no one knows what mess of pot tage to pass it's slavish days beneath tyranny of the gavel. The speaker settles all things. No measure is pro- posed, no bill passes, no member speaks except by the speakers will. He constructs the committees and se- lects their chairmen and lays out their work. With dozen members, every one of whom votes and acts beneath his thumb, the speaker transacts the story of the House. So far as the other three hundred and forty odd members are concerned. the folk who sent them might as well have written q letter. They live as much without art or part in planning and execution house affairs as do the caged menagerie animals in the planning and execution I of the affairs of what show they hap | pen to exist as the attractions. These caged ones of the house are never re- garded and but seldom heard. The best that one of them may gain is s'Leave to print''; which is a kind of consent to be fraudulent, and permits a member to pretend through the Con- gressional record that he made a speech (which he never made) and was overwhelmed by applause Che did not receive) that swept down in thunderous appeals (during moments
 utterly silent from crowded galleries l (as empty as a church. ).-Illustrate 1 Sporting News.

.FOG BOUND COASTS
THEY ARE A BAR TO CANADIAN
 OCEAN TRAFFIC.
Despite These, However, the Dominion Will Attempt to Compete with New York and Boston for
 Atlantic Business.

On the first of July a new trans-At- lantic steamship service will begin be" tween Montreal and Liverpool, ser" vice by which Canada hopes to divert much of the ocean transport business that now goes by way of Boston or New York, The government will pay heavily for this opportunity of retain ing in English liners the transportation of her products and people across the ecean, and it is doubtful, if, after all, she can be successful. This new line will consist of two splendid boats, driven by turbines, and each capable of making IT knots so that the trip across should be made in six days, and 1t is hoped in time to cut from this full day by the introduction @of faster boats.
 The route from Montreal to Liverpool Is far shorter than that either from Boston or New York, but what Canada gains in distance she loses in condi- tions attending safe navigation, and the fogs of Newfoundland will more than offset her advantages under ruling conditions. The first drawback to Can ada's operating successfully a fast" service is the ice, fog and currents about the Newfoundland coast, which cause so many shipping disasters there. Indeed, 1t is Newfoundland, rather than Canada, which is the determining fac- tor In this connection, for until the danger zones about the three points of the triangle Newfoundland makes at the mouth of the Gulf of St. Lawrence
 Cape Rice, Cape Ray and Belle Isle are properly safeguarded, no sane man will run ocean f1iers there, and a fast" Atlantic service will remain dream
 Canada really has to face two con- alterations Should she aim at grey hounds" or ships of moderate speed, what port and route should be chosen? !? Tn weighing these two matters she

Use of the Left.

Left-eyedness is looked upon by Dr. George M. Gould, of Philadelphia, as of greater significance than left-handed- ness. He is seeking facts concerning the two and their association, but sug- gest that both may be due to the ab- normal location of the speech center at the right side of the brain. He believes ambidexterity should be discouraged, while he has seen only bad results in the attempt to correct decided use of the left hand.

When Baby Is Asleep.

When your babe is asleep watch his face. If the eyelids are not perfectly closed suspect weakness. If you see 8 fufrow passing from either side of the nose round the mouth there is probably something the matter with stomach or intastines. A furrow from either mouth corner, passing outward, may indicate something wrong with the throat or lungs. None of these signs is conclu- sive: but they are infinitely valuable in causing the careful parent to investigate the state of the childs health.

lation is less than 6,000,000; her wealthy class limited in proportion, and her travelling public inadequate to fill the saloon accommodations of an up-to-date New York liner. To provide boats to compete with these would mean passenger service only for the greyhound" carries little or no freight, and makes her profit out of heavy berth rates charged, while ships of IT knots can give over to- cargo the space she has to use for coal, and can reach port within a day of their speedier rival, cabin fares being also suited to people of moderate means. This would appear to be the service most likely to be productive of the greatest good to Canada.
 With slow boats Canada can carry her own freight to Europe, but that she will, at least in the near future, be able to compete with fast boats in the pas senger traffic between the two contf- nents is scarcely probable. The St.. Lawrence river has been deepened, and the channel widened, strengthened and sentineled until to-day ships of 10000 tons are plying fearlessly where 20 years ago craft of half that tonnage could not float Last year more ships visited Montreal than ever before, and the imports and exports were the larg- est in Canada's history. But the pas senger traffic, save in the matter of im- migrants, showed no proportionate ex- pansion.
 Last the geographical disadvantages from which Canada's Atlantic seaboard suffers make it very doubtful if the service would ever be a really fast one, in the sense in which that phrase is usually understood The New York greyhounds have scarcely anything to obstruct them, for the whole ocean trip being able to run at full speed until they near the land on either side. But the Canadian liner must slow down when she reaches the ice and fog-in- l fested areas or else she will batter her self against foe or the rocky coast of Newfoundland Thus, while .theoret- ically the Montreal liner would gain a l day on her New York rival, she would
 really make no faster passage, on an
 average, for she is plying in congested ! and danger strewn waters for one-third I of the whole voyage-the stretch be- l tween Montreal and the Grand Banks,
 and only in the finest weather can she
 make her best speed. The prospects,
 therefore, of fast Canadian line are I not very encouraging.

 There is little excuse for the Wo- man who is without tasty and becom- ing negligees in this day and age oI exquisite textiles at prices to suit the multitude. for the little coffee jack ct and short slip-ons that all went once under the head of dressing sacquct there is an embarrassment oI rlcnes II materials. Soft silks in the da1ntlest effects are abundant, and of cottons there is no end.
 A charming use of embroidered lawn flouncing is shown in the picture. lne body of the garment is shirred onto the fitted yoke, which is outlined py a band of faggotting. The depth or the louncing also makes the sleeve.
 The corset cover is also receiving an unusual amount of attention 1t is not only a corset cover, but is CO., auettish and charming garment as well. A pretty one is made of lace flouncing with ribbon run through the beading.
 And as to petticoats! Never was such a wealth of beauty in pettlcoats as milady displays when she lifts her voluminous gowns, which now, III ali but the walking skirts, have to pc ll.l- ed in front by one hand, while tue other grasps the skirt at the back anu draws it around the side-not, hoWev- CT, in the vulgar manner adopted by many women recently manner which I am happy to say was avoided by the truly refined woman.
 Corsets have assumed a position o1 paramount importance in mtlady wardrobe, for no woman can expect to present an up-to-date appearance with a carelessly fitted corsct--nor Is it excusable in these days when the best manufacturers are laclng models of corsets, such as. the CB la Spirite on the market in such variety of styles and prices that any figure or purse can be suited.
 Daintiness, refinement and harmom- ous gcolorings are the marked character istics of the seasons fashions for mi lady. and as much good taste is dis played in scents as ill any other acees- sories of the toilet.
