THE HOUSE RULES.

Golfers" last summer printed a series of readable articles by Hon. Victor Murdock, in which the Kansas congressman deplcred the power of the speaker to break the spirit of new representatives and send them back to a disappointed and disgruntled constituency In these articles, MT. Murdock is supposed to have eXag- gerated his own woes, and reformers generally, thought he had made out pretty strong case against the speak CT. Kansas especially thought so and seemed during the campaign to re- gard the amiable MT. Cannon as an enemy of that state and the republic.
 There are, of course, two sides to this question. Those who support the speaker may contend that it is not a proper function of his to nour- ish and encourage budding legislative genius and that it is not the chief business of congress to see that every new representative shall not fall be- low the expectation of his admiring homefolks That, rather than assist him in carrying out every prediction pledge, wise and foolish, it is the bus mess of congress to enact as expedi- tiously as possible the best legisla- tion for the country at at large.
 It may be true that the present speaker and the present rules have prevented legislation which a major ity of the. people wanted, but the volume of such legislation that failed is small in comparison with the leg islation which a determined minority could prevent, if the rules were more lax. Under such lax rules, the speak CT and the house leaders complained or, might have attained their object just as effectively
 In the closing weeks of the last session we witnessed a continuous fil- ibuster which almost brought the house to a standstill, which would have been made complete but for the rules which the reformers are now seeking to displace.
 Yesterday there was an exhibition of parliamentary tactics which; though suited in the consumption of time. It they failed to prevent legislation, re- may perhaps be better to run the risk of having a responsible speaker abuse his power than to have an ire sponsible minority abuse its license.

Some of our democratic contempo- raries are more or less openly criti- cising the report of Governor Kibbey because it contained no recommenda- tion of statehood. Two facts are overlooked The last preceding an nuaI report contained a very strong recommendation of statehood along with many other recommendations af- fecting the territory The last re- port, almost the briefest on record, was entirely without recommenda- tions of any sort. setting forth as suc- cinctly as possible all the conditions in the territory with which the inte- rior department is concerned. Con gress itself, is already so well in formed as to the attitude of the gov ernor and the people of Arizona to- ward statehood, that any recommend ation of it might have seemed super fluous.

Where Babies Are Not Buried.

Among the Chinese. both in the
Straits Settlements and in their own
country, it is nothing uncommon for
the corpses Of infants to be cast away
instead Of being buried. The charita~
bic explanation is that this is done to
save burial expenses. The Echo de
Chine gives the true reason as being
the deep rooted superstitious belief
among them that the death of a baby
arises out Of punishment to its soul for
sins committed in previous state Of
existence. 1t is an accursed creature
whose coffin no one will follow. 1t is
hence a common sight in China to see
dying babies laid down by the road
side to breathe their last The par
entS will not allow them to die in the
house. the belief being that infants aft
err their death become wicked spirits
To allow them to die under the par
ents roof will bring nothing but evil
upon the family.

CoIoqne S Cologne.

Cologne's toilet water industry was
established in the beginning of the sew
enteenth century. At that time the
city numbered about $4,000 inhabit-
ants, while the present population is
100000. The inventors of toilet water
(eau de colOgne) were Paul Feminis
and Maria Clementine. a Catholic nun.
They began on a small scale. with few
persons employed. whom they did not
initiate into the secrets Of the whole
process. the last and most important
mixture being made by the inventors
themselves. Paul Feminis left the
secret with the Farina family. while
the nun bequeathed the secret to one
Peter Schaeben, who had been her as
sistant for many years. Both families
still carry on the business and are the
leading manufacturers. There arc
about thirty manufactures of eau de
cologne in that city, five of them being
