Whether it would be better to have, as proposed, a virtually con- tinuous session, like the British parliament's, with a summer recess, or simply to lengthen the short term by the other branch of the con- stitutional amendment offered until April 30, is question which members may well deliberate over and divide upon. If the proposition to close one Congress and open the next on December 31 is adopted, the Christmas break ia ‘business will not occur, or at least will not occur in such relation to the opening of the Session as to spoil for business so long a period of time, There ought to be general concur- Fence in the proposed change of Inauguration Day. On April 30 the weather is almost always fine in this latitude. The historic association of this day with the first inanguration of George Washington is also to be considered. ‘There are to be two investigations of civil service reform—one by the reform league; another, as proposed, bya committee of the House. The fight may go on over methods and personal faithfulness in the enforcement of the law, but one thing is well established—the spoils system will not be restored. The people have condemned it, and it is already only an unfragrant memory. es Reed disappointed those who pre- dicted that he might be brilliant but would not be business-like as a presiding officer by his prompt appointment of the leading House committees before the holiday recess, The appropriations committee has emulated his business-like promptitude, and the subcom- mittee on District appropriations has been notably active. The report of a regular ap- propriation bill before the holiday adjourn- ment is an occurrence of exceeding rarit ‘The District is indebted especially to Mr. Me- Comas and its other good friends on the appro- priations subcommittee for an early start in the race for appropriations. The good results of this industry indicate that even with the present arrangement of Congressional terms and holiday recess, it is not necessary to abso- Tutely waste all the days of the session before the holidays becanse the recess is so near. po seSrnnssa ta niche eaten The total eclipse of the sun tomorrow, invisi- ble on the North American continent, will not again occur so far as astronomical purposes are concerned until 1893. At point on an African river above St. Paul de Loanda the United States naval expedition, despatched in October, will observe this eclipse, and it is hoped that im- portant scientific phenomena may be photo- graphed. More and more science is enabled by her widening range of study and observation to solve the provlems of our material existence and to throw increasing light on abstruser problems. a Christmas truly comes to those only who re- ceive its great mystic lesson of faith and charity. It is not merely charity to give material bene- fite—for “Charity thinketh no evil.” The heart goes with the gift; even anticipates its going. pcos sdacnas. eesbenstyprccsl 2SeanS ‘The question is not whether the people of the United States sympathize with the new republic of Brazil. It is a question of whether this gov- ernment may recoguize with entire propriety a government which the people of Brazil have not yet had the opportunity of approving or disapproving. The courteous relations already established between the United States of Amer- iea and the United States of Brazil would seem to be all that are required, for the present at least. The United States of America have never yet failed in kind feeltng or international courtesy toward a newrepublic, That sich re- public is American in name and fact is an ad- ditional guarantee that we will do our national duty and serve our national pleasure at the same time. ———_——» + =—______- When Samoa gets her generous hand well in proclaiming kings “all the world and the rest of mankind” may as well subside as competitors in king-making. ——— Time was when poets and “the good” died young. Now they write “philosophy” and touch Azrael at or about eighty. ——————— Let us not be Scrooges and wait, as in Dick- ens’ Carol, for the Christmas spirits to frighten us into the duty of love for our fellow men, Let us rather be as Tiny Tim, that “God may bless us, every one,” or Abou Ben Adhem, that “our tribe may increase” not only in numbers but im what is better, in the wisdom that prompts all right doing. a A bill to allow women to practice law in the Virginia courts has been introduced in the state legislature, and the thrilling question of the present in the Old Dominion is whether the male dominion in the practice of law is to continue or fall into nocuous desuetude. oo Marriage does not annul the contract to teach.
