A MODEL LEGISLATURE IN ACTION.

Again they are doing business at the old stand in
Budapest Violent as have been the past sessions of
the Hungarian Parliament, they are as Quaker
meetings compared TO the things done on the tbir-
teenth OF the month, when the opposition resolved
itself into a kind Of legislative simeon and literally
swept up the earth all around thereabouts.
, Press dispatches give an inkling Of the matter.
The members, it is said. fought their way to the
PLATFORM in the Chamber or Parliament House,
smashed it, the platform, to pieces, scattered the
debris all over the House, tore to atoms the codes of
law on the Presidents table. broke the tables and
chairs and distributed the pieces of the platform
among the Deputies, who, thus armed, attacked the
forty guards specially appointed for the personal
protection Of the President of the House, and after a
lively skfrmish drove them from the House.
This affair seems to fit literally the elegant and
descriptive phrase rough house." 1t would be diff,
hcult to find a better illustration Of the idea.
Nobody stopped to inquire what it was about-it
was just a bit of spontaneous legislative combustion.
Possibly 1t was due to surcharged patriotism.
Whatever the cause, the effect was all there. 1t
even went a Tillman-McLauri debate one better,
and made q Colorado General Assembly look like a
mere camp meeting in comparison 1t almost equaled
an oid-fashioned Missouri Republican senatorial
caucus behind closed doors.

NEW YoRK'S NIGHT BANK.

1t is not surprising that general interest is mani
tested in the plan to organize in New York an al
waysopen bank. The plan is not only unique, but
daring; and paupers, as well as 6nanciers, and Fill
pinos, as we'll as New Workers, find it attractive for
study and speculation.
The innovation is projected as a convenience. But
it is more than a convenience; it is a necessity. For
a night bank a real need exists. In the large cities
business goes on at all hours. The regular business
of the day proceeds at night in factories and offices
and stores, together with irregular business which
can be transacted only at night. and only under GER
tain conditions. There is enough regular business at
night to justify the establishment of a financial in
stiturion. There is enough regular business from
their irregular business TO maintain a night bank. 1t Is
questionable whether there is not also enough irreg-
ular business Of a conservative, or at least perma-
nent, kind. to make a want.
However. a night bank probably could not be
as free as a day bank in taking frankly irregular
business. To be successful, it would have to be
managed with care and dignity. 1t would be run
freak. and would decline much Of the irregular bust
ness. That there is a field for a night bank is not
The important question concerning the success
of such a venture is whether banking business would
be done at night, even with a necessity existing, in
such a way and to such an extent as to be profitable
to the corporation. The temper Of night is the chief
Banking by day makes big demands
upon the intelligence of customers and the genius
Of managers: and how much greater demands would
be made at night. The plans value can be demon
trated only by a test.

business and the reputation of a city are. in fact, the

public spirit. Without harmonized and organized

of ST. Louis is responsive TO the idea. With a rep

St Louis is heralded as a great city. Its great
ness is demonstrated in the achievements of a few

RECENT COMMENT.
English Coal for RUSSIA.

London Black and White.
No one can be surprised at the very emphatic protests
which Baron Suyenatsu has made, and which Niscount
Hayashi, the japanese Minister, has Endorsed, against
the almost unchecked supply of Welsh steam coal to the
Russian feet. Without such coal, it is doubtful whether
the Baltic squadron could have started on its voyage to
the far East: and without the advantage of constant
supplies. it could certainly never nave got so far. The
grievance of the Japanese is intensified by the fact that
these necessary supplies to her enemy are derived. not
merely from a neutral Power, but from one that is, as
her ally. specially behoven 10 observe the obligations OF
neutrality With the utmost striCtress. There can be no
doubt that from all the Powers of Europe, Russia has
benefited by an Interpretation OF international law
which has been extremely indulgent: otherwise the fleet
could not have kept the seas for a week. But surely 1t
Is the height of irony that we Of all Powers also should
be the means of furnishing Russia with the indispensa-
BILE sinews of naval war. Baron Suyematsu speaks with
not unnatural warmth of the wholesale and OPEN man
nsr in which Welsh coal is sold 10 Russia: and Lord
Lansdowre's letter to the Chamber of Shipping on the
penalties for infringing the foreign enlistment act shows
that the Government are alive TO the demands of the
case, and their task has been made easier by Russia's
declaration of coal as absolute contraband. But it is
always a delicate matter for n Government to interfere
with the activities of a great industry on the prosperity
of which the comfor' and livelihood of a large section
of the population depend. and apart from that consider
alton it is not easy to Prevent a traffic which. ilegiti-
mate when conducted directly. becomes perfectly legiti-
mate when conducted indirectly. AS long as the coal
is not unsigned TO the Russian Government or its agents.
its export cannot be forbidden. The only remedy for
the aggrieved bellgerent is to interrupt the supplies on
the nigh seas; and as Japan has no fleet in European |
waters, the remedy Is, for her, unavailable.

BROADER SERVICE FOR cockREI.L.

Should the rumors which find their way into print
pointment to the Interstate Commerce ommissi
prove true there will be much regret on the part of
the people of this State. who believe that the emf
nent MissOurian's services would be worth far more
to the Government in a broader field.
Rumor says that the Senator has been slated for
the Interstate Commerce position because it is
thought to be suitable for a man Of his years-a
peaceful, dignifed and by no means bnrdensome po-
sition. BETTING a retired Senator.
But it may be predicted that Senator Cockrerl
will not accept an Office of quiescence or retirement:
indeed that he will be asked to serve his Govern
ment in a field of activity where his hale energies
may have full usefulness.
His years OF experience are fit for ambitious tasks
not for retirement. Thirty years of honorable serv-
ice in the Senate have not made an old man of Cock
rell. nor have they stated his desire for honors.
Missouri is ambitious for Senator CockreIl. The
man who represented it's choice for President carries
its further ambitions for great services. That the
executive will consider in his appointments both the
honorable pride of this State and the large and
strong capacities of the Senator is altogether believ-
able. The Interstate Commerce Commission. unless
its powers are to be greatly enlarged. is hardly more
than a committee of inquiry along narrow lines. The
Panama Commission, which has also been men.
toned in connection with the Missouri Senator.
much better fits mis- qualifications.

There was a preponderance of French. and the soft ac-
cents of the French language rose above the gutteral
German. the explosive Russian, and the harsh United

English. American, Russian. Italian, German and
French met under one roof. There was even a Turk
present, Feley-Bey, whose presence served TO hejshten

result is that he has Il change of heart. and comes
out for his first loves bitterest rival.
Senator-elect Sons.body Else begins by tearing up
the ground in his rampant opposition to one of the
Candidates. paving the earth and believing forth
hostility-when all at once something happens TO
him. He reflects: lie wabbles: and some bright
morning he ups and takes il all back. He was mis-
taken in the things he said about the estimable can
tidate who. he is now convinced, would be about
the best man 10 elect. after all.
On Tuesday another conspicuous change of heart
took place. The convert in this instance had written
a letter announcing his opposition to Il certain can
didate. and Il friend of the candidates took him to
see the candidate. who most almiably inquired what
WAS The matter. The legislator got mixed up in his
memory and said that lie had not written the letter.
knew nothing about the letter and came away, all
the opposition mysterfoUsly gone out of him. He
describes the result of his meeting with the candi-
date in this way: Il did not pledge him my sup
port. but think did say that | had no personal feel
ing against him"
What can il be- that produces these marvellous
changes of heart: 1t is a problem for philosophers.
Ordinary people familiar with the old methods of
candidates should refrain from consider
ing the myStery-they might arrive NJ Il wrong solu-
ton. But certain it is that Republican legislators
are subject 10 mighty sudden and unaccountable
changes, sometimes with and sometimes without
notice.

CHANGES OF A

The old saw that it's a wise child that knows it's
own'father should be amended to read: It's a wise
legislator that knows its own senatorial candidate.
Such vacillation rs we have had in this race for the
senatOrship!
The vacillarion takes the form of changes of
heart. The new legislator elect usually begins by
coming out boldly for somebody else-and presto.
the first thing you know he has had a change of
heart
Il am for Tom dick or Harry, first. last and all

the course of a few days his resolution becomes
