What a revolution that VIII be in
the British parliament when the mem
bers Of the house of commons BEGIN to
draw salaries. Up 10 the present time
there has never been any salary at
tached to the OlfCp The commons has
just adopted a motion that members
receive an annual salary Of fifteen
hundred dollars. Further legislation is
needed to make it effective, but the large
majority Of two hundred and thirty
eight votes by which the motion was
carried assures the final adoption of the
law. This change was brought about
by the large number of laborins men
in the present house Of commons who
cannot afford to give up their time to
government affairs without pay. There
is marked disproportion between this
salary and that of members of the eX-
ecutive and judicial branches of the
government. The salaries of the lat
ter are much larger than those of the
same class of officials in this country;
but their law makers will receive
much less pay than ours. The house
of lords. whose sanction of the measure
is necessary to make it become law,
Will hardly dare to oppose it.

Ne.ver before was the saying that
po .ftics make strange bedfellows more
pity illustrated than when Senator
Tillman and ex-senator Chandler were
seen walking arm in arm along a
prominent street in Washington the
other day When the latter was in
the senate these two Were always at
daggers' point. Neither had any use
for the other. Now the New Hamp-
shire man has use for the South Car
Gilman and is cultivating him for all
he is worth. Mr.. Chandler is very
much interested in the railway rate
bill The railways were the cause of
didate for the senate and he has never
forgiven them. He seeks every oppor-
tunity to get even with them. Upon his
defeat he wired a friend: Il have just
been run over by a railroad locomotive
and the friend understood the meaning
of the words. 1t is strange, indeed,
the turn of the political wheel Of for
tune should bring these two men to-
gether as associates in urging the
passage of a bill through congress.
After this nothing in the world of pol
ftics can cause surprise. We may
even look for Senator Tillman to put his
legs under the White house mahogany
before the rate bill fight is over. The
president has already made an opening
for a reconciliation. Mr.. Tillman, no
doubt. could have it brought about any
day he desired Had Senator Aldrich
any idea what he was doing for Sen
ator Tillman when he made that
famous motion in committee he would
have thought twice before doing so.
He made this South CarOlinian, his
political enemy, the most conspicuous
man in the congress and gave him op-
DOrtunity to establish a national repu-
tation that could have been won in no
other way. He boosted the South Car

special to the baltimore Sun from
Philadelphia tells Of most disgust
ing cermony which took place with the
sanction Of the federal officials, in that
city few days ago.An actress from
England, Miss Ivy st. Clair, who had
just arrived and was about to be de-
ported because she came under the
pauper class, agreed to marry a coal
olack negro rather than be sent back
to England. The couple were married
by magistrate in the presence of a
representative Of the government. as ia
required ia such cases and the couple
took their departure, the bride saving
she would go back on the stage if her
husband. did not treat her right The
government, we know, has no right
to make discrimination in such
cases. 1t has no right to tell this
woman she could not acquire a domi-
cile in this country by marrying any
one she chose, and if she preferred
marrying a negro to being sent back
home we suppose it was her business
and no body else's, but it does seem
horrible to think of this woman, if she
was at all decent, marrying this negro
under the sanction Of the government
and in order to carry out the provision
OF the law so as to secure exemption
from deportation. Would that mar
riage have been legal had it occurred
under similar circumstances in a port
of southern state where marriage be-
tween whites and negroes is prohibit
ed? We do not see how It could be,
