POLITICAL.
Proposed Auicudmout of tlio Nntlonnl
Constitutlon.
Senator Proctor is tho mover of a
propoaition to amond tlio Constitution
of the Unitcd States, oxtending tho
President's ofllcial torm to sx yoars
and making hitu incligiblo for a eecond
election. Supplementary to this amend
mont, tho Senator would lengthen to
three ycars the term of Reprcsentatives
in Congress. In a recont spcech Sena
tor Proctor tlius Bummar'ized his rea
Bons for the changes proposcd:
First. A longer Fresidentlal term and
Ineligiblllty for re-eloctlon aro moro ln ac
cord wlth the ldeaa and purposea of tho
framera of tbe Constitutlon than ls the pros
ent Bystem as It haa developed ln practlcal
reaults.
Second. The propoaed change la not rad(
cal or revolutlonary, but 1b in the llne of
true conaervatlBm. It ls a change of the
etter to prosorvo tho splrlt of the Constitu
tlon. Thlrd. Ue-ellglblllty 1b wrong ln theory
and vicloua in practice, for lt reaulta in the
uae of tho patronago of hia ofllco by the
Prealdent for the promotlon of hia cbancea
ot re-electlon, or elae subjects hlm to the
Imputation of such uae.
Fourth. The change wlll moro thor
oughly divorce the leglalatlve and ezecutlve
branchea ot the Qovernment, an end most
strongly dealred by the Constltutional Con
vention, Flftb. Even lt the present aystem waa
wlse ln tho beglnnlng, the cbanged condl
tlona, the growth of tlio country ln popula
tion, eapeclally ln cltlea, the great lncroase
in our territory. and tho erowlnc danger of
sudden popular rovulslons make the change
now dealrable.
Blxth. Thoreby tho bualnean lntoreata ot
tho country wlll be aavod from auch fre
miHnt dlaturbancea. and the tlmo and ez-
petiBO incldent to campaigna wlll be pro
portionately redncod.
Soventh. By lengthenlng tho torms of
KepreHentatlves to tbroo yoars, laws wlll be
better conHldered and wlll havo a longer
and fairer trlal beforo thelr frioudH go out
of power in Congress.
In discusaing his propositton, Sena
tor Proctor roviewed tlio hlatory of tlio
adoplion of tlio four yeara term, wilh
ro.cligiblllty, by tlio couveution ttint
framod tho Conatitutiou. IIo ahovecd
that, on the subject of tho longth of tho
prosidontial term and eliglbitlty to re
olection, there was u grwl vnrioty of
opiniou amouK tho iii' iubP'H of lliecon
vontion, and, wltlml, much uusettled
judymont aiul ,vai ill ttion of inlioil.
Tno convc.nti' n onco voted to ninkc tho
president's olli'ial lorm alx yoars,
wilhout lmlintblllty, thon voktl for tho
orlidnal propositlon of a Bovon-ycarB
torm, wlth hicllglbllity to n second
olcction, but flnnlly, aftor linving do
vlBcd tho plnnof clioosing tho prcsidont
by au olcctornl collogo, wlth its liralta
llons as to tlio cllgiblllty of ckclors,
adoptcd tho Constltullon as it alanda,
in tlils partlculnr, nt tho prpBont tlmo.
Tho Senator doca uot clalm orlglnal
ity for his amoudmotit. IIo simply
proposes to put an old propositton in
tho way of adoptiou. In supporl of tho
changes, ho citoa tho toatlmony of
tuany cmlnont Btatcsruon, and tho ac
lion of polltlcal assemblagCB, from
Juckson nnd his timcs to tho presont.
IIo shows thnt " from tho vcry founda
tlon of tho govornmctit many of our
ablcst nnd most thoughlful public mcn
havo favorcd an nmondment to tho
constitution prohiblling tho rc-election
of a prcsidcnt." Tho Echemo Of nu
clectoral collego has fnilcd to rcmedy
tho ovlls that woro fcnrcd, if a prcsi
dont Bhould bo oligiblo to rc-olcction.
Tho very ngoucics that tho ilectoral
collego was devised to oxcludo from
parlicipatlon in tho cholco of a presi
dent, bave como iu through tho instru
menlality of tho nominutin convon
lion t dotninatc the sdection of a can
didatowhen theexeuullve is an afpirjut
fi.r ri-nominatioii. Therefore Seuator
Proctor, by tb xplicii prnhibit on of
tliu c jnctitulion, wouid put up thi; bnrs
against a re-tl-c(ion. " IU-fliiiibi ilj,"
he ilpclarts, " ia wrou in tlieuiv, vi
cious in praitice, and tliort- should bo n
dellnite prohibitiou n;iust it."
Peoplo who remember the circum-
stauci'8 of the untioual electicm of 1804,
and how important to tbe 'succnnolul
prosccution of tho Wnr of Iho Kebcl-
lion Iho re-tlection- of Lincoln was
deemed lobe, wlll antlcipate the great
objection to an absduto prohibltion of
re-cligibllily. On this point Senator
Proctor says:
"The greatoat objection of whlch I am
awaro to this propoaed chango ia that it
might deprlve ua, ln tlmo of soino great na
tlonal oxlgency, of the Bervices ot a leader
who Beems to be peculiarly equipped to be
at tho head of tho Qovernment. Such a
thlng ia possible, yet I can hardly concelvo
of an emergoncy in whlch one man, and one
man only, shall bo Qt to be at the head ot
the Government; and lt ia hard to belleve
that an emergency wlll arlso that wlll laat
for moro than alx yeara, the term for whlch
a Prealdent will be choaen under the pro
poaed amendment. It is Impoaslblo to per
fect any detall of a constltutional ayatem bo
that it may not work unfavorably in aome
emergency. Constltutional syatems, how
evor, though lntended to cover all exigen
cies ao far as possible, are dealgned moro to
moet the ovory day llte and existence of the
Government than aome exceptional com
plicatlon that may never occur. The quea
tlon ia, how to safeguard .tho public inter
esta in the most caaes and in tbe largest
degree; how to obtain the most disinter
ested admlnlstratlon of the Government
from day to day of our national existence.
If a slngle term wlth prohibltion of a Becond
wlll do that, then we need not fear tho
other. In thls very connectlon DeTocque
vlllo aays that ' to reserve an expedient for
extraordinary perlls, the country has been
expoaod to dally dangerB.' "
Tho buainesB intcrests of the country
would bo conserved by tho change. On
this point the Senator argucs with force
and quotes the Bubjoined remark, at
tributed to Mr. Depew:
Everv four yeara bualno88 is virtually
paralyzed for fully alx months, partly on
accountof tho utter absorptlon of tlio peo
plo ln the canvasa and partly because such
lssues are ralaed in the campaign that buai
ness conditiona are bound to be affected by
tho result. We havo naruiy recovoreu irom
tho otlects of ono Fresidential campaign
before we are plunged into the mldst of
another. Witb a aix-year torm and a con
stltutional prohibltion of re-electiou, we
would have a rresiuent iree uuring nis
term ot ofllce from any temptation touse
his power in any way to Becure a renomina
tlon or re-election, and free also from the
auaplclon of such an attompt, whlch is al
most as bad."
If the chango might lengthen the
torm of a bad president, the change ac-
complished would carry with it its own
rcmedy in the increased care and dc
liberation in the selection of candidateB.
The bad president, if ono should bo
bo chosou, would be hedged about by
the laws and by Congress, and the ter
rora of impeachmont, wbile the gnod
president's policies would havo tho
longer timo for their dovelopment, and
for tho formation of just conclusions as
to their wiBdom. Conditlons bave
changed since tho conatitution waa
adopted, and tho timcs domand that
somo provisions of tbe constitution
should change wilh theni. The modi-
Ocation proposed by Senator Proctor is
ono of these changes, a modiflcation of
detall, not of prlnciple, and the Sen
ator 8upporta his propoaition with rea-
Bonlng that 1b of conclusivo forco.
Bespocting hia secondary proposl-
tions Senator Proctor is equally forci-
blo. Ho Bays:
The extenalon of the terms of Itepresen
tatlves ln Congreaa should go wlth the ex
tenalon of the prealdentlal term. The prac
tlcal beneQts sure to reault from thls
change and the advantagea ot lt to leglala
tlon are selt evldent. Now the Reproaenta
tlvea have hardly concluded thelr llrstsea
slon before they como up for re-electlon.
Tlils long sesalon muat noceaaarlly become
longer wlth the growth of the country. The
leglalatton ot the long hobsIoii has had no
trlal, and often, I may say uaually, iu the
caao of important new legialatlon ou llnes
of party pollcy, thero ls a popular reautlou
before it can bave a fair trlal. Tlien coinea

apood. ..
lv John Bull is roally bohlnd that
sonsatioual protest ngalnst tlio Nlcnra
gua cnnal bl'l, mudo to Secretary Olnty
by tho Mlnistor of tho Greator ltcpub
ltc of Contral Amcrlca, nnd scnt to tbo
Senalo by Secretary Oluoy, John Bull
has mado a brcak by 8howiug his hnnd
too soon. Of courso tho protest, by
ahowlng that tho government of Ni
cnrngua alrcady regords tho Cnnal
Company ns having forfoited all the
concession8 grantcd it by that govern
ment, will kill tbo present Nicaragua
cannl bill, but lt will also go much
furthor. II may kill tho arbilratiou
tronty rccently nugoUated bolween tho
United Slalcs and Greut Hrilnin. Il
has been openly chargcd ou tbo floor
of the Sennte that f tJKlith diplouiuc
was workuig, through the combinulioti
of thoso three little Cunlrnl Ameiican
rppublice, lo put Ensdanil in u position
whert- itcould eilher coittrol or bae a
ftbnro in controllingthe Nicaragua ahip
cauul. This may or may not be true,
but so long ua there are grottuds for
suspicioti, there will bo daugor that the
arbilralion treaty will b8 rejccted by
the Senale. If thero is ono policy upon
whieh tho Souate is prncticnlly a unit,
it is that tho Nicnragun cannl shall, if
cornplotcd, bo controlled by the United
States; und if it be ahown that this
qucslion migbt have to bo submittcd to
arbilratiou, with tho castingvote in the
hands of a European monarch, thon
goodbyo to the arbitration treaty. The
Senators who havo oponly protested
againat tho public clamor for immedi
ato ratiQcation of tho troaty, on tho
ground thnt it was too important a
matter to bo hurriedly acted upon, ro
gard this Nicaragua canal incident as a
vindication of their position. Secretary
Olnoy, howover, doesn't take that view
of lt, and would not havo been so
prompt in Bending that protest to tbe
Senate had ho supposed that it would
cause addilional delay in acting on the
treaty.
The refusal to appoint a woman
to a vacant $1,500 clorkabip in
tho War Department, for whieh aho
had passed a very difflcult examina
tion and was tho only ono oligiblo un
der Givil Service rules, is likely to be
made the subject of a Congressional in
veatigation. The examination required
that tho applicant should bo able to
translato into Englisb, militaiy works
in French, German, Italian and Span
ish; to do type-writing in all of these
languages; to do proof-reading and prc
paro manuscript for tbe prees, to bo
familiar with library methods, cata
loguing, indexing, etc; also to be
tested in the use of tho English lau
guago and literary compositiou. Mlea
Maud Stalnaker of Washington, D. C.,
was the only ono who was nblo to poBB
the oxaminntion, but tho War Depart
ment refusea to appoint her to tho po
sition becauso she ia n woman.
The vacancy in tho Senate from Dol
awaro ia going to cauBo a flght at tho
present session. Whether it will be a
tbree-cornored flght iByet to bo settled.

SELECTED POETRY.
If Only tlio Drcains Alilde.
If tho thlngs of earth muat pasa
Llke the dewa upon the graai ,
Llke the mlata that break and run
At tho forward aweep of the ann,
I ahallbe aatlaOed
If only the dreama ablde.
Kay; I would notbe ahotn
Of gold from the ralnea of raorn;
I would not bo berett
Of tho laatblue flowor In the cleft,
Ot the haze that haunta the hllla,
Of the nioon that the mldnlght fllli.
Stlll would I know the grace
On lovf ' upUftod face,
And the alow, aweet Joy-dawn there
Under the duak ot her halr.
I pray thee, spare me, Fate,
The woef ul, wearylng welgbt
Ota heart that feela no paln
At the aob of tho autuinn raln,
And takea no breath ot glee
From the organ-aurge ot the aea
Of a mlnd wbere memory brooda
OveraonKleia aolltudea;
I ahall be aatlafled
If only the dreama ablde.

Dut they all have paaied away.

THE HOUSEHOLD.
Hooks nnd Eycs.
Noted pons havo written on "Tho
Moral TJses of Dark Things "and "Tho
Total Dopravity of Inunlmato Things,"
but has any ono yet discouraed on
"Tho Disciplinary Uses of HookB and
Eyea?" Surely, here ia a lield for the
modern easayiat.
To open tho subject, and to begin
tbo day. Your hair ia brushed and
doiletl and curled in tho most becom
ing manner, and you go to the ward
robo to take out your uress. It hangs
in tho back row, we wlll say. A book
surely catches in the lace trimming of
another gown, and some Ono darning
awaits you. That is the first miafor
tuno. You put on the walst. Unless
great care ls used, another hook catchea
in that crowning puff of hair. A tress
is drawn out to unseemly longth, and
it must be rearranged.
Most women begin to hook the dress
body at the middlo. Youcountcd care
fully ono, two, three, four, flve, six, on
the loft side, and beld your fingera
tightly on tho aixth eyo, whilo your
right hand counted alx hooks. Then
you hookod, and lol it didn't foot up
right, as the accountants aay. Thero
waa ouo hook too many when tho point
waa reacncd, anu it nau to ne tiono
over ngain. Perhapa it canio out right
the second timo, and perlups it didn't.
Talk about balanclng booksl It is
nothlng to balnncing hooks and eyea,
All this on a morning when you havo
an oarly breakfnst to tako an early
trnln. An imperalive journey, too;
not to nieet illtiess, say, but shop
piugl ln a llt of unwifio economy, the
