to Jerery House that morning, left her

II all, the simple domestic lives of
men and women went calmly on, and
birth. marriage, and death made rich

On tides OF glory England was

In her whole history had the govern

and only time In the history of Eu-
rope. morality and religion were the
qualifications insisted on by 4 court.
In the meantime Spain was help

He was quite strong enough to have
taken 1t, and there was nothing I'M
manly either in his desire for the
crown or in his refusal OF it. One
thing he knew WELL that the title of
King would take all meaning out of
the Puritan revolution, and he could
not 30 break with his own past, with
his own spiritual life, and with the
cody men who had so faithfully fol-
lowed and so fully trusted him.
Why should he fret himself about
mere word? All real power was in
his hands; the army and the navy, the
churches and the universities, the re-
form and administration of the law,
and government of Scotland and of
ireland. Abroad. the war with all Its
details. the alliance with Sweden,
with France. with the Protestant
princes of Germany, the Protestant
Protectorate extending rs far rs

gaGement was furiously indignant If
she spoke Of ending It, Then, also,
she had fears connected with Cymlin,
When very young ne had begun to
save money in order to make himself
a possible sutton for Matildas hand
In the Irish campaign he had been
exceedingly fortunate; he had bought
and sold estates, and exchanged pris-
oners for specie, and In other ways so
manipulated his chances that in every
case they had left behind a golden
residuum. Jane had told Matilda two
years previously that Cymlin was
richer than his father, and she might
have said more than this and been
within the truth.
But in this rapid accumulation of
wealth, Cymlin had developed the
love Of wealth. Matilda knew that if
she would carry out her intention of
making over de Wick house and land
to Stephen, 1t must be done before
she married Cymlin. Yet If she sur
rendered 1t to Stephen under pres
ent circumstances, everything would
go, In some way or other, to the
needy, beggarly Stuart Court
She was fretfully thinking over this
dilemma in Its relation to a new plot

TIE STATE LEGISLATURES.

Soon the legislatures of most of the
states will be in session. These bodies
are really nearer TO the people than is
congress, as they have to do with the
domestic interests and welfare of the in
dividual commonwealths. The legisla-
lures soon to convene will have impor-
tant matters to consider relating to the
people that have chosen them and II they
shall address themselves wholly TO these
questions. ignoring political matters with
which properly they have nothing to do,
good results are TO be expected from
them. but the probability is that most of
them will pursue the usual course and
give more attention to politics than to
business. II has been remarked that in
late years IL seems as IL the people had
very little TO say regarding matters OF
legislation. this being taken out of their
sumo TO run the states for their individ-
ual ends. That this is very largely the
case is fact of general knowledge.
II has been repeatedly pointed out that
one of the most serious faults of state
legislatures generally is in enacting laws
many of which are impracticable and
cannot be enforced. Every year hun
dreds OF such laws 90 upon the statute
books, only to be pronounced worthless
by the courts or TO become dead letters
because OF their lmpraeticability. In this
way great deal OF time is wasted by
Legislatures TO the public detriment. II
is hardly possible, however. that there
will ever be any substantial reform in
this respect, since nearly every member
OF a legislature feels that he has the only
remedy for Ills in the body polite.
Legislative corruption is one of the
crying evils of the time and there are

Az ADMINISTRATION BILL.


The attorney general and other mem
bers OF the cabinet are said TO be pre-
pairing bill that will embody the presi-
| dents idea OF federal control of railway
rates, which it is expected will be com
! pletcd by the time congress reconvenes.
According TO reports from Washington
one of the propositions considered by
those working on the bill is the creation
Of national board Of arbitration in
place Of the interstate commerce court
that has been proposed. The idea is that
this board would review the action Of
the Interstate Commerce commission.
which would be authorized to fix rates In
cases OF disputes, and the decision of the
board would give effect to the rates
named by the commission.
The proposition is that such board
be- composed of three men of the highest
integrity. ability and experience in mat
ters pertaining to transportation, that
they should be appointed for life and
that they should receive salaries COM
mensurate with the importance Of the
position. 1t Is suggested that a national
board Of arbitration would meet the OBJ
lection Of some OF the railway presidents
to the creation of an interstate commerce
court. The question arises whether con-
grcss can constitutionally confer upon
board Of this character the necessary
authority. There appears to be no doubt
as to the right Of congress to establish
an interstate commerce court with all
the power required for the determine ton
of questions arising under the law. The
creation Of mere arbitration board
however. Is obviously a very different
matter and II Is certainly debatabe
question whether congress is authorized
by the constitution to clothe such n BODY
with powers similar to those of a court
The fact that an administration bill is
being prepared for submission TO con-
gress evidences the earnest desire Of the
president to get this subject before con-
gress as soon as possible. 1t gives assur-
tion will be exerted to secure early con-
sideration Of what the president regards
as the most important matter for the
attention Of congress. 1t would seem to
be the intention OF the administra tion to
make an effort to have something done
at the present session. but il is unlikely
that so important matter can be dis
posed OF in the few remaining weeks Of
the session. There will be time, how
ever, for consideration and discussion OF
the several propositions, from which the
people may learn the views OF their rep
resentatives and the prospect for legis-
lation demanded in the public interest.

utterly fallacious and furthermore the
democratic party has never as a whole
been favorable to the upbuilding OF the
navy.
