ln VOL. LXVII. NTRE HALL, CAPITOL GOSSIP THE PRESIDENT OFF ON A HUNT - ING TRIP. Bland’s Seigniorage Bill Passed, A Young Texan Evolves un Bill. Carnegie Company Fined, WasHiNaToN, March 5.—President | Cleveland, who has a fine sense of hu- mor, will doubtless smile when he re- turns from his hunting trip and gets a glimpse of a bill that has been evolved from the brain ef Mr. Bailey, the brill- | jant young Texan, whose devotion to the constitution has earned him fame in the House. A preamble to the bill recites the charges that made of the encroachment of the exee- | utive upon the prerogatives of the leg- | islative branch of the government, and have such encroachment by relieving Sena- tors and Representatives from all par-! ticipation in the making of appoint- | ments, It provides further that when- ever the President desires information not contained in the papers of appli- wants for office he must get it from | some one who is not a member of ¢ith- | er branch of Congress. While Mr. | Bailey's bill has some desirable points, the country, to say nothing of Con- gress, is hardly educated up to such a high standard yet. Congress would to be sure be purer and more patriotic if its members had no dealings with pa- tronage, but until there is decided change in human nature Congress not likely to deprive its members of | the privilege of trying, if they do not succeed, to get offices for those who help them to get into Congress. Although it took more than two weeks to get a voting quorum on the | floor of the House to pass Mr. Bland’s | bill for the coinage of the the quorum did stay True, there is no especial need of a quorum to consider the pension appro- priation bill, which is now before the House, but that is no good reason why SO many i is seignoirage | not two days, i members should be absent. They are sent here and paid to atte nd | of the House and they should either do it or resign and allow | some one else to do it. No transacted by Congress is of more im- portance than the making of appro-| priations, and that for pensions is the | largest of them all. The expressions of men of all shades of polities at news of the convalescence of Chairman Wilson speak volumes for the in which that gentleman is held by all who know him. He never forget that he is a Demoerat of Destoctals, nor does he ever forget the courtesy | due from one gentleman to another, | not even in the midst the hottest political wrangle on the floor of House; hence his deserved popularity. Secretary Herbert's official state- | ment of his having compelled the Car-| negie Company, which has the con- tract to make the steel armor for our new war ships to pay $140,454.04 to the government, on account of defects in armor furnished last year, was not the sessions business pleasure from the esteem of the the bers of the committee, and it only fair to say that the bill would have been reported two weeks ago had it are is committee, - . oo. Wedding Rings, Wedding rings used both by the Greeks and Romans, but then on- ly at the ceremony betrothal that of The Anglo saxon bridegroom the betrothal gave a wed, or pledge, and a ring was | placed on the maiden’s right hand, where it remained until marriage, and Dur- and George were of and marriage, al gns of George 1, Il. the wedding ring often worn on the Phe placing of the ring on the book isa remnant of the ancient custom of blessing the ring by sprinkling holy water in the form of a cross, and this still in the Catholic ehureh. .

Judge Brubaker rendered a decision the seigniorage until after the tariff | bill has been passed. Senator Voorhees says he did not overwork himself as much during the long silver fight at thie extra session as he has done since the Democratic can cus returned the Wilson tarifl’ bill to the Finance committee for revision, and the other Democratic members of the committee have worked just as hard. The sentiment of the Demo- cratic Senators is unanimous for har- mony, but the trouble is that some of them have so far refused to harmo- nize unless given their way about sev. eral schedules of the bill. If there isa way to revise the bill so that it will get every Democratic vote in the Sen- ate the committee is determined not to abandon its search until it has been found. Members of the committee now decline to name a time for the re. porting of the bill contenting them- selves with saying that not one hour shall be unnecessarily lost.
