The senate's Minority Leadership.

Commenting on a rumor that Mr. Cor
man will not be returned TO the Senate
the Springfield Republican says:
Senator Bailey OF Texas is already as
Stunning the minority leadership, fact en-
phasized by his acting as the spokesman
for the democratic caucus In the reply 10
Senator Patterson
Leadership in the Senate is not precisely
what the esteemed Republican seems to
think it. II he had been WE'LL and In his
seat, and assured of twenty more years In
the Senate Mr. German would not have
been the man TO reply to Mr.. Patterson.
The occasion called for fluent and per-
suasive speaker a cogent reasoner, and
trained debater. Mr.. Germans powers,
while conspicuous and valuable to his
party are not these. He is a prosy man
on his feet and without the advantages of
wide reading Mr. Patterson. pitted against
the senior senator from Maryland. would
have had an easy time.
Mr. Bailey did not assume the office he
performed that day, but was selected for It.
And the selection was the best his party
could have made. He is one Of the fullest
and readiest and most effective speakers In
the Senate. and probably has not his equal
on his own side of the chamber for swift
by-play and aggressive attack. He knows
and can talk to the point or around the
point, or away from the point, just as good
parliamentary tactics may advise Much
of what he said in reply to Mr. Patterson
was Irrelevant. but 1t was said so well and
was so entertaining that it assisted in his
purpose. No other democrat In the body
could have handled that case quite so sat
isfaCtorily to his party.
The minority leadership in the Senate is
not all shrewdness and fine work" any
more than it is all oratory and debating
power When thoroughly effective 1t Is a
combination of both. Mr.. German is. as a
rule, a shrewd man-although OF recent
years he has made some amazing plumbers
but as an executant his powers are ordi-
nary. Mr.. Bailey. on the other hand, while
not lacking in suggestion, is a brilliant ex-
ecutant, whether the suggestion is his own
or his party's. In word. and to use the
language of the street. the democracy in
the Senate needs both Mr. German and Mr.
Bailey I'm its leadership business, and is
likely to employ both while they remain
there.

on the street. and the fair ones are revealing
In their indulgence In wrapiess splendor.
Here we are IN the middle of February,
with the mean" temperature for the sea-
son considerably above the grand mean
Of all recorded time. Is this deficiency OF
cold to be made up between now and the
middle of March or the first of April? Are
we to have cold wave after cold wave to
balance the season. Or must the winter
Of 1866 go on record as remarkably mild
season, leaving shortage OF chill to be
made up. perhaps. by the mildness OF next
summer or by the severity of next winter?
Nature works on the basis OF averages,
and 1t Is hardly to be expected that the
grand mean" of temperature will be per-
manently lowered as a result of this ex-
ceptionally mild stretch of unwintry
weather.

Pensions for Telegraph Operators
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.


An effort is to be made to put on the pen
sion list the surviving military telegraphers.
These men were always at the front. For
the first time in the history of war they
were prominent factors in the COS in the
military tactics of a battle. Gen. Grant has
given his testimony to their efficiency,
as we'll as to the many risks which they
took. Other officers have shown that there
was no place of more danger than that of
the field operator. 1t often happened that
by the time the military telegraph opera
tor had his wires up and In working or
der a change of battle front would leave
him inside the enemy's lines. He was ever
treated as military man when in captivity
and when he escaped with nothing but
wounds he had no pension to fall back
upon. If we can believe the testimony OF
all the great generals of the civil war, we
must be assured that the telegraph opera
tor was one of the most exposed men in
battle. and there is no reason why he
should not be given the same recognition
as the soldier.

Ohio's Two-Cent Law,
.e Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
Ohio now has a law limiting the passen-
ger charges of railroads within the state to
a maximHm rate of cents a mile. This
law goes into effect on March 10. and, If we
mistake not. 1t will be the only enactment OF
the kind in force among the several Ameri-
can states. Various state legislatures In
Guiding that of Massachusetts, have consid-
cred similar legislation, but as far as can be
recalled 1t has never gone so far as to be
applied in general way to all the railroads
of state. 1t Is further to be noted that the
general 2-cent rule is now given force in a
state whose railroads are by no means as
favorably situated to bear up under the re-
striction as In several of the more eastern
and thickly populated commonwealths.

Simple Life in Public School.

From the Savannah News.
If there is one American institution which.
more than another, was designed to be- and
should be, thoroughly democratic In every
respect, II is the common school. The taxes
of the people. without distinction of wealth
or social position. support the common
school, and the children of the poor and the
well to do are supposed to stand on precise
ly the same footing while they are pupils
of the common school. But. as q matter of
fact, do all school children stand on the
same footing? At a recent meeting of high
school superintendent held at Asbury Park
strong resolutions condemnatory of secret
societies and exclusiveness in common high
schools were adopted.

girl should prefer to go abroad for q hus-
band.-Roanoke World.
1t is the title, and what. pray, is a title?
An intangible something which comes not
from merit, but by Inheritance. and often
tails upon a man devoid of any manly yir-
tue or attraction But 1t is so pleasant to
be called ''milady!" 1t Is a distinction which
takes one out of the rabble and makes one
exclusive. And SO some American women
run after It, but 1t often happens that they
wear II at the expense of their happiness
