The duties of the Vice-President are not bur- Gensome, Considerable dignity attaches to the office, and there is always a great possibility before the ocoupant of the position, but he has very little actual power. The only authority he can claim is that of making the distinguished gentlemen of the upper house of Congress cou- duct themselves in a dignified and becoming manner, under the parliamentary rules govern- ing that body, The he can dispense 4s absolutely his own is the position of depart- ment telegraph operator for the Senate and his own private secretaryship. He can appoint to these two positions.and those are the only official acts he can perform that are not merely perfunc- tory. But if a Senator tries to speak when it is not his turn or, speaking in proper time, ‘uses improper language or attempts to discuss the ‘solomn secrets of executive session before the galleries have been cleared of the too-in- quisitive public, the Vice-President can call! The Vice-President actually occupies his room, and while more elegant it is more home- like in appointment than is that of the Presi- dent.

HIB IXSIONIA OF OFFI is the ivory gavel of the Senate, which has no handle to it, and the little “hour” glass, which belies its name by running its turn in just five minutes, With the gavel he raps for attention and order, and with the sands of time he meas- tures out the fractions of the hour to be occu- pied on certain occasions, As long as he is not called on to be President of the United States ail that is necessary is that he should be digni- fied, know how to write his name, learn the rules of the Senate and the names of the Sena- tors, In fact, it is not even necessary for him to know the names of the Senators, provided he knows their states, If Mr. Harris gets up and says: “Mr. President!” be must respond: “The gentleman from Tennessee.” Then he may be required to answer some parliamentary question which answer the interrogator knows as well ashe. If it is the musical voice of Mr. Edmunds that addresses the chair he has only to change the state, saying: “The gentleman from Vermont.” Then he may proceed with anything that may occupy his attention until the Senator is interrupted or yields the floor to some one else. The amount of indulgence he may permit himself depends upon what particular * Senator talking.
