Its material has been quarried out of the ruins of | other languages, as modern Athens and mod- | | B | | ern Rome owe their walls largely to the stone taken | out of the ruins of ancient structures that had long lain in amorphous heaps on the ground. This Eng- | Iish tongue as it has been built up by accretions has been adapted to the modern age, in which it is a | vehicle, a carryall and buckboard of human thought. Its growth has been cotemporaneous with the growth of parliamentary government, and the world is often | called to admire the accommodation of the language E:o the emergencies which arise in parliamentary ex- | perience. Last week the spring fever was on at Washington. Members of Congress fidget as the sap runs up under their bark. There is abroad an appetite for dandelion greens and tansy bitters, and the disposition to be | | peppery in taking and giving offense is so general that the presiding officers of the two houses have a d time, and the sergeant-at-arms keeps his awe- at what moment its dreadful and peace compelling presence may be required to repress disorder and re- mind the members that although Congressmen they 11 gentlemen, notwithstanding that handicap. It is in such riotous times that the beneficent struc- ture of the English language serves as a balm of Gilead to the places in “the Congressional temper. The bright and particular part lected as a buffer is the subjunctive mode. |are s sore of speech se- have their uses, but when it comes to averting vio- lence, whether a fisticuff or a duel, a mére rough e or an assassination, there is no quality of noun, ijective or preposition equal to the subjunc- mctive governs the House and Senate. Cannon of Illinois has a temper that was rought up. on plug tobagco, and has it always with him, and also that on which it grows. Colonel Hep- burn of Jowa has a temper that was weaned on a cob- pipe and cannot go to sleep without it, as a child raised on a bottle can be comforted only by putting the familiar piece of glassware in its hands. These two came together on the banks of the Nicaragua canal discussion, and Cannon’s temper got its tail over the lines and “imputed” things to Colonel Hepburn. Thereupon the Colonel’s temper put its armor on and in genuine Hawkeye dudgeon said: “If the gentleman from Illinois assume personal responsi- bility for that imputation he has lied.” Then the gentleman from Kentucky and gentlemen from several other States rose to their feet and im- plored the Speaker to procure order. But the Speaker is a parliamentary grammarian. He knows the value of the subjunctive, and so calmly assured the excited House that he had heard no unparliamentary lan- guage. Mr. Cannon asked Colonel Hepburn to re- The Colonel repeated. The pres- ence of the order inspiring “if” was duly observed and the House became as quiet as a lone fisherman. Next day the vitriolic Chandler of New Hampshire and the argentiferous Stewart of Nevada confronted each other in the Senate in a torrid way that prom- iced lurid resuits. Chandler objected to what he called Stewart’s threat to read the three large volumes of testimony in the Clark case to the Senate. The two Senators seemed on the verge of shedding ora- | tory on the subject when an examination of Stewart’s | T rks disclosed the presence of the dove-like sub- junctive. He had said that “if” time were not given to rine the voluminous record of legislative virtue in Montana he would read it in the Senate. There- upon peace fell with all four feet upon the august chamber. Father Pettus fell asleep again, Cockrell assumed the Brother Jonathan attitude in which he takes his naps, while the galleries think he is thinking, and the drowsy goddess of dignity took charge of tie floor. In the Capitol building are many mural paintings and inscriptions. We have to suggest that among them be put this: “God bless the subjunctive mode. e ——raren Because the House of Representatives refused to appropriate any money for a pneumatic tube service by the Postoffice Department, the press of the cities | where such service was desired declare the action to be a proof of the incapacity of governmental bodies; but, on the other hand, a good many authorities as- sert that to have made such an appropriation would have been a job of the worst kind. So having to face a charge of incapacity on one side and jobbery on the other, perhaps the action of the House was the best it could do. RAILWAY CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES NE of the best methods of measuring prosper- O ity in the United States is by noting the com- parative railway construction of one year with that of another. When times are good a rapid ex- tension of our railway mileage goes on, but when any- thing mars the business condition of the country rail- way enterprises lag and the amount of construction is slight. The San Joaquin Valley road was probably | the only notable venture ever made in the way of building an extensive new railroad in a time of indus- | trial depression and financial panic, and that was suc- | cessful only because the money to construct was | forthcoming in San Francisco itself and there was no | necessity to sell bonds in Eastern or foreign markets. Judged by that standard of measurement the pros- ] perity of the country now is at its highest pitch. Something like a year ago the Railway Age pub- lished a long list of railroads under construction or projected, and from that data estimated that the total mileage during the year 1899 would be about 4000. The estimate was a sanguine one, and yet it fell short of what was accomplished. The final figures for the work of the year show that our railways were in- | creased during the time by 4588 miles. A | Despite the fact that we are to be in the turmoil | of a Presidential election, the present year promises ven better results than last year. In a recent issue the Railway Age gave the summary of lines now un- der construction, or projected, as follows: Lines. Miles. New England States. 13 P Middle States ... i 113 2,440 | South Atlantic States, cosesnees 177§ OTB2 Gulf and Mississippi Valley States.. 113 6789 Central Northern States 5,623 Northwestern States 6,197 | Southwestern States 21,207 Pacific States ..... i 5377 | Total ...... 58,832 Of course the whole of that immense mileage will | of it will never be undertaken. The Rarlway Age in commegting upon it says: “It is an easy matter to | take out a charter for a new company, but it is qhite another thing to raise the money with which to build the road. . Many of the charters cover practically i parallel lines, and it is impossible to tell which stand Athe best show of being carried to comoletion.

If the same ratio be applied to 190 as to 1899 there will be 5000 miles of road completed during the current year, and it will not be surprising if the figure exceeds | that amount.” PARISIAN DOGS EXCESSIVELY PAMPERED. 600 ACCESSORIES To such a pitch of extravagance has the craze for putting pampered canine pets into costumes gone in La Belle ¢ France that swell dogs now have all the ¢laborate articles shown above and much more beside. Doggie’s complexion is protected 'from the sun by a parasol, his dainty nose is wiped on real cambric handkerchiefs, and he has numerous changes of .h_nen. The pampering of pet dogs has reached a stage that is causing American visitors to wonder whether or not Parisian women are becoming hopelessly fighty. The canine costumer has become an established institution, and' now there is actually to be published a dog’s directory, giving the names and addresses of the aristocratic pets, ‘thelr pedigrees, distinguishing qualities and reception days. : ad SEASIDW COSTUME TOLET ° t j woNT DR R R S R 2R R B R S f RERHCES THAT THE CANAL BILL PASSED| NCLE SAM'S Stars and Stripes were flying from all of the municipal bufld- ings and nearly all of the commercial houses of San Francisco yesterday. ‘This was one means of expressing the gratification of the general public at the successful passage of the Nlcaragua canal bill by the House of Rep- resentatives at Washington. In business circles it was one of the main subjects of conversation, hundreds of merchants rejoicing that there is hope of escape from the monopoly of the raflroad through the waterway of the Central American coun- try. The general belief is that the bill will not fail to pass the Senate, especially after the general commendation of the action of the House. More than one of the business men 6f this city said yesterday: “We want the canal, fortifications or no fortifications.” Of the local commercial bodies none have taken so much interest in the canal project as the Chamber of Commerce, the members of that organization having ‘worked for the great waterway for years. That they are more than pleased with the success so far achieved is manifest by the following dispatch sent by the president to Hon. John T. Morgan, who did such heroie work for the measure: Hon. John T. Morgan, United States Senate, SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 5, 1900. ‘Washington, D. C.: Flags fiying here to-day in honor of passing of canal bill by House. Congratulate you upon tangible prog- ress of this much-needed waterway. CHARLES NELSON, President Chamber of Commerce. PERSONAL MENTION. Superfor Judge ¥. R. Webb of Fresno is at the Lick. Dr. H. R.

The construction of 5000 miles of additional railway means good business and big business. The work will call for raw material of almost all kinds, and then | the equipment of the new roads with engines and cars will keep the factories at work. [Each new road, moreover, will add to the business activity of the country it traverses and of the cities and towns to which it supplies transportation service. It will be seen, then, that the construction of the roads is full of promise for all parts of the Union. It is going to be a good year for everybody except the calamity howler.

ACRAMENTO people, viewing the glories of | S their street fair dripping wet and showing | draggled and drooping under cloudy skies, may for a time regret the rain. When they turn away from the view of their own streets, however, to note the exultant rejoicing in other places where the show- ers fell, they will find ample consolation for the little loss they may have sustained. The showers, in fact, have been a benefit to the State at large, and in the southern counties the benefit has been so considerable as to amount to a veritable blessing. Of the rains of the winter the south had but an in- | adequate share. Hardly sufficient water fell to break the effects of the long drought, and it looked as if another bad season would depress the rural industries of that section. Now, however, all is changed. Spring has ¢compensated for the lack of winter rain- fall. Reports from nearly all parts of the south are to the effect that the recent showers have saved the | situation. All prospects now promise good crops, and the people are jubilant. Dispatches from Los Angeles giving the record of the rainfall up to 5 p. m. Friday say: ‘““As one of the | results of the present storm the sugar factories at Ox- | nard and Los Alamitos will both be operated during | the coming season on full time. This means that nearly $2,000,000 will from this source alone be dis- tributed in and about Los Angeles during the coming summer. Had the dry weather continued the Los Alamitos factory would probably not have been oper- ated this year at all. The last rain assured a partial crop of beets and the storm of last night and to-day | guarantees that a complete crop of beets will be har- vested.” Los Angeles is not the only county that has profited | by the showers. The reports add: “The rain to-day | | has saved the corn crop in its entirety and has done | similar service for deciduous and citrus fruits in Southern California, and for beans in Ventura. Loose hay lying out may be somewhat damaged, but “ | the good to other products will make the damage, | | whatever it may be, a small matter. The mountains | are everywhere covered with snow, which assures an abundant water supply for irrigation.” From these accounts it appears the drought | that has been a blight upon the State for so long a time has now been brought to an end. The central and northern sections of the State had abundant rains | during the winter, and now the south has had its share. California throughout her confines will re- | gain that high plane of prosperity which is her normal condition and become once more attractive to home- seekers from all parts of the country. One of the curious features of the war in South Africa is the obscurity of Kitchener; he seems to | have been hidden under a bushel somewhere, but per- haps he is just laying low and waiting for Roberts to | get out of his way. O new conditions in the relations of the com- ponent parts of society to one another, and consequently our Judges are kept awake at nights de- vising ways and means of so applying the laws of the land as to do justice in the novel cases of strife and | conflict that come before them. . Hence we are get- ing new decisions every day on matters of interest to | the public as well as to lawyers, and it behooves the | people to pay attention to them. | Three judgments recently pronounced may be cited | | as illustrations of the way things are going. In one { | case it is stated that an Towa man proposed marriage | to a young woman and was accepted, but hearing that | her hair was false he declined to fulfill his engagement. | She brought suit against him for breach of promise, | and, being put on the stand, admitted that she wore a wig, whereupon she was nonsuited on the ground that she had won the young man’s affections under false pretenses. If the decision in that case appear to the ladies to be unfair, they can find consolation in this: In Chi- cago a woman was arrested for vagrancy, under an act which defines a vagrant as “a person who is idle, re- mains idle and refuses to work.” The Judge held that | the statute does not apply to women, as in the eye of the law “it is no part of the duty of women to work.” The third case is for the benefit of both men and women. A Milwaukee man refused to obey the com- | mand of a street car conductor to move forward in a | crowded car and make more room. The conductor | put him off the car and the man sued for damages. The Judge held that a passenger on a street car who has secured standing-room can no more be moved about at the conductor’s will to serve the convenience of passengers getting on later than can the fortunate | persons who manage to obtain a seat. The only ex- ception, in the Judge's opinion, was when the stand- ing passenger blocked the doorway. Thus do our Judges make way for justice in a crowded and jostling world. No woman who wears false hair can get damages for breach of promise by a man whom her hair has deceived; no woman can | be made to work if she objects; no street car con- | ductor can make a passenger move forward. This is a land of liberty, and justice also makes it her abode. SOME NEW LAW POINTS.

THE COMPROMISE OF 1820-D. D., Cranmore, Cal. The slavery agitation had apparently died away In Congress and throughout. the country. The calm was doomed to sudden interruption. Prospect of beneficial legislation was destroyed by the Intrcduction of a measure which at once supplanted all other subjects in Con- gress and in the political interests of the eople. That was the novel and astound- ng proposal of Senator Stephen A. Doug- las of Illinois in relation to the Kansas and Nebraska Territories. The measura was a provision in the bill for the organi- zation of a Territory In Nebraska declar- ing that the States which might at any | future time be formed in the new Terri- | tory should leave the question of slavery to be decided by the inhabitants thereof on the adoption of their constitution. That provision was. as explained in the bfll it- gelf, the application of the compromise pol- icy of 1850 to Nebraska, and, as was evi- dent, virtually repealed the Missouri com- promise of 1820, which guaranteed that sla- very should forever be excluded from the territory In question. —_——— Old coins-and others—Sample 2¢ or $§ for 100 booklets, giving quotation of val- uable coins.
