SKETCHES IN THE SENATE,

iy.

The Mace lies upon the Senate tabie, with its crown-shaped head, resting upon acushion. Our eyes catch the yellow gleam of it, and our thoughts wander from the grave debate to speculate upon its significance and history.

“A glittering bauble” the stern old iron- side termed it, when he thrust it contempt- iously, forth together with the Royalty he hated. Poor statfof office! It has sufer- ed the fate of all gilded emblems, at those times when democracy has grown rampant and raged furiously against constituted authority.

The present Senate Mace has known stormy days. It belonged to the old legis- lative council of Canada. And on that spring night, neariy half a century ago, when the Parliament buildings in Moc — treal were burned by rioters, it was rescued and hidden in a warehouse by a messeL— ger. When the riot was over it was brought from its dusty hiding place unin— jured.

The Commons Mace fared less for- tinately. It was carried away Ly the rioters, and was found afterwards lying on the floor of Bonsecour market, having two of the gilt beavers wrenched off.

The Mace is of silver, gilded over and elaborately chased and fretted. The Sergeant-at-Armse teiis us that it cost near- ly $3,000.

It is not representative of royalty, as some suppose, but of the authority of the House, with ail its privileges and powers. How far back beyond the time of the Common-wealth its emblematic use ex- tends we cannot tell. The earlist form was probably the fasces, those bundles of birch rods, which were carried before the Roman magistrates, as symbols of their power and authority.

Be its orign what it may, through gen- erations of Parliaments the Mace has been cartied before the Speaker,—one of those outward and visiblesigns of constituted authority, which as anation we are not yet spitual enough to do without.

Two Canadian Premiers have o2cupied seats in the Senate, since Confederation, Sir John Abbott, and our present First Minister. Upon first thought it would appear that this disposition of the Govern- ment leader is one of disadvantage; but a closer study will reveal that there is much to commend in it. He is relieved from tie possible administration of a responsible department: which no Premier, in justice to himself, should be burdened with. He is removed from the immediate contact with partisan and influence, prejudical to a fair judgment. He is able to direct the conduct of affairs from the Upper House in a more judicial spirit than if he were down amid the clamour and heat of the Commons.

The British Parliament consider it an advantage rather than othewise that the First Minister should be in the House of Lords; and the administration of Aberdeen, Melbourne, Derby, Beaconsfield, Rosberry and Salisbury, testify tothe wisdom of their belief.

Looking over the tell-tale book of esti- mates, I find the salaries and contingent expenses of the Senate total nearly $61,000.- 00; while those of the Commons total close upon $185,000.00. As this {does not in either case inclade members’ indemnity and mileage, the larger proportion of members in the Lower House hardly justi- fies the three times additional cost. Then if we add the $150,000.00 set apart for election expenses, we find that the cost of the Commons for the present year over and above that of the Senate is in the neighbor- hood of $250,000.00.

On the score of expense alone, perhaps it is as well that the members of the Upper House are Crown appointed. The country could hardly stand the expense of two elective chambers.

Despite the talk of patrons and press, it is generally agreed that a second chamber is necessary, since by its very presence it serves as acheque upon hasty or imper- fect legislation.

“Thank God that Canada has a Senate Chamber,” exclaimed a prominent mem- ber of the Commons on one occasion; and the country does not know how much of reason it has toecho the sentiment. Many members of the Lower Hause even, are not fully aware of the careful supervision, the exhaustive analysis, aud the keen exami- nation into every detail of every bill,—and not only into the workings of the biil itself, but the possible bearings upon other exist- ing laws,—that goes continually on in the Senate.

It would not be possible for such criti— cal and unprejudiced argument to take place in the Commons, There it is for or against. There each representative speaks for his constituency of his party. here it is more or less of ‘talking to the gal- leries,’ And there in the presence of large or agitating issues, measures that appear of minor importance may slip hooded into obscure passing; that, under the leisurely stripping of the Senate, reveal beneath the hood much of possible menace to the peo- ple’s rights and liberties.

The generally acknowledged need of a second chamber in the Federal Parliament is shown by the fact that there is at pre- sent no instance of a single chamber with full parliamentary powers in any British colony under responsible government. But in some colonies the Senate is elective; in others, as in Canada, it is nominated by the Crown.

The question which we have to debate in Canada is not whether there shall be a Senate, but rather in what way it may best fulfil itsf_unctions. Whether an elective or nominative Chamber be better; and in the latter instance whether the ap- pointment shall be for life or for a term of years. What shall determine a man’s eligibility for so honorable an office, and under what circumstances he shall be- come eligible.

There are strong arguments in favor of both the nominative and elective systems; each also has its drawbacks. But possibly the present method of Crown nomination has the greater advantage, since by it the Senate is rendered that entirely indepen— dent body which gives it its peculiar strength and effectiveness.

Dealing with the Senate as it is, there is no question but that reforms are need— ed; but they are of a minor nature cop- cerning rather the duration and method of appointments than the functions of the body itself, or the value of the work ac- complished by it. It is easy to point out weaknesses in any system: it is not so eas¥ to find remedies for the same, that will not injure sOme concomitant source of strength.

A fair-minded people will not be entic— ed by sheershrug or catch cry into falee pronouncement concerning any national institution. Rather is it theirs to exalt the functions of the same: to take pride in its virtues, seek to remedy its faults and make of it what every national body is meant to be,—a strength and bulwark to the country

Don’t Die Before Your Time,

“Why will you die?” That is the ques— tion the scientist now asks the miserable sufferer from consu:nption or Jung trouodle. The answer natmral is, “because I can’t help it.” But the consumptive can help it. Miller’s Emulsion, made from Nor- wegiaun Cod Liver, and combine with the hypephosphites of line and soda will cure niné cases out of ten of consumption, and the ten case can get a reprieve fora year or two. New blood is what the consump- tive requires, and Miller’s Emulsion of Cod Liver, when taken, produces it. Mil- ler’s Emulsion is the great nerve strength- ener and blood maker, and cures Conghs, Colds, Bronchitis, Scrofula and all Lung affections. In big Bottles, 50c. and $1, at all Drug Stores.

A pleasing agitation will shortly fill the minds of the ladies touching new costumes. Nothing better can be obtainel than a Cravenette. Ina variety of shades, it makes up as a smart costume or wrap, or cloak, if need be, while it iz at the same time absolutely impervious to rain or dust. it is rainproof, and yet as porous as any other dress material, so that it is free from the objections of the rnbber goods.

A special despatch received at Havana from Manzanillo again asserts that the rebel leader, Amalor Guerra, has been killed. It was said on June 15th that the report of bisdeath in a skirmish between Malibur and Manzanillo was confirmed.

YOU CAN'T PLAY IN OUR BACK YARD.

About the Popular Song and Its Author 4 Boston Version.

I don’t want to play in your yard, I don’t like you any more;

You'll be sorry when you see me Sliding down our cellar door;

You can't holler down our rain barrel; You can’t climb our apple tree;

J don’t want to play in your yard,

If you won't be good to me.

So runs the chorus Sf one of the most popular songs of the day.

“You Can't Play in Our Back Yard” Was written in the second flat of 4i West Taylor street, Chicago. Of course it would have to be written somewhere, but it is interesting to know that at 401 West Taylor street there is hardly any back yard worth mentioning and this does not contain a ceHar door or even an apple tree

As the writer of the song worked South Water street for some time and has relatives in St. Joe, Mich., the apple

idea is probably explained. It is notice- abie ihat there is ne one popular song now—.u.t is one that is whistled to the exciusion of all others. The reason is

that on account of the success of catchy

airs in kite years there are now more

really meiitorious songs before the pub- lic than there have ever been and it is the od law of competition over again.

The writing of a popular song is like gambling. . W. Petrie, the author of the song, is now living on the South Side, is a studious harmonist and was a church choir singer for a short time. A musical friend for whom he had writ- ten an Ave Maria that was considered good had the song “I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard” quite a while before it beeame popular and considered it of little consequence. Shortly after the song was written the author sung it before one of his associates and asked his opinion.

“{ don’t eare for it much,” was the reply.

“Neither do 1, answered Petrie, “but YT had occaston to write a song, and as a child song was insisted upon I turned it out te order.”

It is said that there is a Boston ver- sion to this chorus which runs some- thing Uke this :

I do not care to indulge in any sportive recrestion «n the land round about yonr dwelling.

My affection for you has undergone the proc ss of obliteration.

You will regret your course when you observe me in the act of precipitat- ing myself along the cover of the

entrance to the excavation under the hous? in which I have my resi- dence.

You can induige in no voeal exercis’s

whatever, directed into the recept- acle for rainwater established by my parents.

You shall not clamber amidst the fo- liage of the trees upon which grows the succulent apple peculiar to ou! estate.

* As I he ve before remarked, in effect, 1

to gambol on the ground surrounding your habita- tion, in the absence of a sufficient guarantee that you will treat me with due respect, courtesy and kind- ness.

It Contains Remarkable Communications

—A Specimen.

President Cleveland’s daily mail fre- quently contains some of the most re- markable communications that were probably ever indit d, and if he acted upon the suggestions of one-third of them Congress would be continued in session the year round, and the tariff bill constantly undergoing revision. The greater part of the queer letters, says the Columbus Dispatch, are from fanatics, who urge all sorts of rem- edial legislation to correct what they believe to be existing evils of govern- ment or the distress that has been brought about through the inaction of Congress. The strangest of all letters receive] a few days ago from :¢ farmer living in ome of the Western States, who asks for an immediate ses- sion of Congre:s t» prevent a strike which he believes imminent among his jJaborers. This farmer says that a year mgo he wrote to J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Arriculture, for some rare varieties of seed and aiso requested that to “gondolas” be forwarded, as he believed that there was a field for profitably raising what he termed that valu: >le variety of animal in his local- ity. The seed, he avers, was sent, and two strange jookink birds, which have since produced a large flock that prom-

was

ises to steadily increase. The “gon- dolas,” he says, are troublesome ani- mals, and early in their career it be-

came necessary to employ two laborers, at a cost of two dollars a day each, to care for them. As the number aug- mented additional help was required, until now the farmer has to call to his assistance quite a force of men to care for them. These men, with those em- ployed around his farm, have threat- ened to strike, and the farmer asks that the President call Congress in ses- sion to remcde! this tariff law so that

Amerisan labor may compete with cheap European workingmen. The “rondolas,” the farmer asserts, have

been at the bottom of all the trouble.

The New Yor«x Young Man.

Sunday morning the west side of Fifth-avenue is thronged with church

parade. There one sees in ail his splen- dor the New York young man. Some- iow. notwithstanding all his efforts to be Eng'sh, he never quite effects it. Either his hat is too curly, his coat too long, or his trousers overpressed. He jooks like an advertisement for a fash- ionable Manchester tailor, and repre- sents the wide difference between gen- tlemanly and a gentleman.- My im- pression is, by the way, they will never be able to produce the breed of Am- erican gentleman until they manage to buy up and transplant an English Public school, with all its traditions and style. At present the gilded youth here seem to be in the transition stage be- tween the cowboy and the masher; they talk very low, between their teeth; they call each other “old men,” and describe the theatre last night as the “ rottenest show,” but next minute out leaps thé cowboy in manners and telk, and th: temporary illusion is gone.—Tempt Bar.

Himself to Blame.

The man who stays away from hom: all day and six nights in the week has only his wife to blame if his children turn out bed.

Another son of an oriental potentate is to make a tour of Europe in order to ob- tain a knowledge of European customs and civilization. It is Prince Damrong of Siam. His name, whatever it may mean in his native tongue, will excite uafortunate com- ment in the English speaking countries he may visit.

Divorce is attaining to truly terrible pro- portions in Switzerland. The latest calcula- tion gives one divorce to twenty-two mar- riazes,as compared with one in 132 in Holland, and one in 577 in England.
