The one point of resemblance —a@ parallel for many years—was as to state department policy. Administrations came and went, but the line was un- broken by partisan interference until some sevén years ago. That departure from sen- sible precedent was the first severance of the continuity of adminstration in what is probably the most important branch of this nation’s executive force. But that first breach. fs of no present interest. What was dene by Secretary Bayard as to the fisher- ies trouble is a topic of minor importance; for caffein), aromatic substances and tan- nin. They operate precisely as they do in coffee and work evil whenever the tea is allowed to boil for any length of time. Tannin {s a very undesirable addition to the daily bill of fare, and is one of the most potent causes of nervous disorder. If those good but chemically ignorant peo- ple who insist upon keeping the tea-pot or the coffee-pot or both on the stove all day long will cease the practice there would surely ensue considerable improvement in the national health. _—_—_ soo After many years of slumber--due, prob- ably, to the vitiated air breathed by occu- pants of the hall of the House of Repre- sentatives—the House Committee on Ven- tilation and Acoustics has awakened to the fact that it is not an organization without perform. This fact has been apparent to many other people for several years. The atmosphere in the House is notoriously poisonous, and to that condition the chari- tably-inclined critic can ascribe many of the otherwise inexcusable things done by the subject deserving present attention | the House or by individual members of that and arousing international interest is what| pogy.

That such an un- Patriotic and partisan procedure should be fruitful of blunders and culminate in failure is not surprising; it deserves no better fate. Inferiority marks many of the features of Great Britain's govern- ment, but it cannot be denied that British @iplomacy is a success. Great Britain has invariably secured all it ever went for in @ diplomatic way and while exception could eceasionally be taken to some of the methods employed the general result has been civilizingly and commercially bene- ficial to all the parties concerned. Had the successive premiers of Victoria’s realm en- deavored te becloud the acts of predeces- sors there would be no British empire such as today challenges admiration. The United States has ro schemes of conquest, is not must come in July, there would probably have been no objection to the humane pro- ceeding proposed. Good legislation Is im- possible where the legislators are compelled to fill their lungs with invisible but none the léss potent impurity. Let Chairman Shell of the Committee on Ventilation and Acoustics stir up his associates to frequent and investigatory session, and there will surely be more of common sense and less of inexplicable vagary in some of the pro- ceedings of the House. + see It will surely be gratifying to Mr. Willis if he is welcomed to this country as enthu- siastically as he will be “farewelled” from Hawaii. ——roe_—_—_ The present of a bottle of wine from the Coupons.

There were thousands of English radicals who, wken Gladstone succeeded Beacons- field, clamored for reversal of Beaconsfield’s foreign policy, but Gladstone refrained from taking such a course, and time has made plain his wisdom. We shall lose nothing by @ speedy return to the way in which our forefathers trod firmly, taking no steps backward to the national discredit. —————_+ Such enormous waves as that which wrought such damage on the ocean steam- ship Normanni« are gratifyingly rare and need not terrify those who contemplate voyaging to Europe. The history of navi- gation does not mention a moving mass of salt water greater in its dimensions than that which crippled one of the staunchest ships in the world’s commercial navy and compelled return to port. The New York Herald, especially accurate in its knowl- edge of meteorology, says of such forces us assailed the Normannia that “the storm wave is generated in the partial vacuum of the cyclone’s central area, where the pressure of the atmosphere is sometimes two million tons less per square mile than on the outer rim of the depression. it has been well likened in shape to an oval dish or @ soup plate bottom up. Were there no winds at all in the cyclone this huge heap of waters would imperil the safety of vessels on or near its outskirts. But when, as on Saturday night, piled-up masses of the ocean are driven together and forced onward by gales and Squalls blowing a mile and a half a minute, the resulting wave becomes indescribabiy grand and appalling.” It is not improbable that many of the vessels that have never been heard from were overwhelmed by such a disturbance as that from which the Normannia escaped. Nothing but the best of constructive skill Saved the steamer, but the steamer was saved, and as all the first-class ocean “liners” are equally stable intending pas- sengers need fear nothing more than a little frightening discomfort even should they be unfortunate enough to suffer such @n experience as the Normannia’s passen- gers went through. Science will yet teach navigators how to avoid those superficial oceanic monsters that are more terrifying than any of the fabled and murderous shapes that legend locates in caves be- neath the “hollow-sounding and myste- Fious main.” ———_++e—__—__. There should not be a vacant seat in Con- vention Hall when, on Saturday evening next, Gen. John B. Gordon commences his lecture on “The Last Days of the Confeder- acy." Aside trom consid2rations as to the cause in behalf of which the Georgia soldier and statesman is to speak—the cause of charity—there are other substantial reasons why the audience should be numerically great. The occasion will be notable as one of the gatherings in which the men who fought each other as never men fought be- fore are bridging a chasm that thirty years ago seemed by its width and depth to defy the skill of the most confident social engi- neer. Of the lecture it may briefly be said that no discourse ~n the war of the rebellion outranks it acd thit it is in every respect ‘worthy of the orttor who will deliver it and the great audience to which it will be addressed. Vividly interesting and eloquent, lacking even an intimation of bitterness, broad in its scope and patriotic in its teach- ings, Gen. Gordon’s lecture is an influence for good to which ten thousand Washing- tonians should subject themselves next Saturday evening. ———— +e There are a number of demands that Mr. Willis’s salary in his present position be stopped in time to rescue it from the in- come tax. +. Mr. Hornblower is respectfully assured that he has not a good breacn of promise case against the Washington city directory, +. Mr. Carlisle may find it advisable to con- sider a few bonds to keep the peace among his plans for the near future. — ree Coffee and tea have been held to responsi- bility for the creation and aggravation of buman ills, while, on the other hand, these popular beverages have been freely lauded &s the possessors of many healthful qual- ities. Many people will have nothing what- ever to do with coffee because they have been Infurmed that steady indulgence in} it ts most harmful, and for the same rea- son, but to a lesser extent (in this country at least), many persons abstain from the consumption of tea. The truth appears to be that neither of the preparations is hurt- | ful when properly made, and that beth are when the concocter of the drinks is thoughtless or unskiliful. A German| scientist has given considerable attention | to this extremely interesting and vitally | import#mt topic. Discussing the active} principles of coffee, Dr. Falkenhorst cays | that the most important of these is cat. | feln, a small quantity of which acts as a} wholesome stimulus, but which is potson- | @us when taken in excess. { ant feature is the aromatic substance, | which, operating principally on the nerves, | is an agreeable stimulus. The third and least desirable component part is tannin, | to which coffee owes its bitter taste, and | which is by no means an aid to digestion. The action of these principal substances depends mainly on the method of prepara- tion. If the coffee is simply infused in Water at the boiling point and allowed to Another import- | merely a ruse to shake his popularity with the German temperance vote. —-—_ + ee - It might as well be frankly admitted that in the recent game over Hawali it was a mistake to order up the queen. ——_ +++ -____ There are fears that the North river pier is still sufficiently tangible for Mr. Peck- ham to stub his toe on. +e +_______.

From the New York Sun. Mr. Wheeler H. Peckham ts a very con- spicuous lawyer in the state of New York, and is unquestionably a man of ability. His nomination for the office of Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court of the United States, however, is not creditable to the President, and ought not to have been made. Its plain purpose is not so much to put the right man in the right place as to put an affront upon the Senators in Con- gress from New York, toward whom Mr. Peckham has long occupied the attitude of @ bitter factional opponent in state politics. From the New York Times. In the first place, Mr. Peckham's nomina- tion is admirable in itself, since he has ability, experience, age, reputation, integri- ty, and courage all in his favor, and is open to none of the criticisms with which Hiil concealed the real motive of his opposition to Mr. Hornblower. In the second place, the nomination is a declaration by the President that he shall not yield to the dic- tation of Hill or the machine, should the machine make the mistake of backing Hill, which is by no means certain. ——ee—— Northwestern Neighborhood Gossip.
