Since our last issue on January 31st,
senate file 31 carried in the house with
an amendment offered by Cady provid
ing that a license amendment to the
constitution be submitted at the same
time as the prohibitory amendment pro
posed. There are several reasons why this is a
good thing. As matters are now, any.
legislature so minded, can alter or re
peal the present (local-option) law. 11
either of these proposed amendments
carries, a change of policy cannot so
easily be made under a constitutional
proviso?
This mode of submission brings the
present law and prohibition to a direct
issue, one against the other.
In either event, the probability is that
the' subject will not for some years
thereafter engross public attention.

Senator Allison; who has three times
refused the invitation of Gen. Harrison
to enter the cabinet as secretary of the
treasury, has now gone to Indianapolis
to finally settle the matter. The trip
was very sudden and a great surprise to
Mr. Allison's friends and was only taken
because Gen. Harrison refused to accept
the written declinations sent him by Mr.
Allison, and because he has fully made
up his mind that he wants that gentle
aaan to set the ftniwil peace for his ad
aaiaistratioa. Another reason given for
the trip is that an intimation was given
Mr. Allison that unless he accepted the
position tendered him, Iowa would have
no representation in the cabinet. J. S.
ClarksoB, wham it is said Mr. Allison

to be greatly reduoed, if not al-

A number of membsts from the tobacco

possibilities of the near future but is
probable. Evidence of Bayard's wretch:

foreign committees of both houses of

our government appear to Senator

Representative Burrows, of Michigan,
one of the most prominent candidates
for speaker of the .next house, is very
much in favor of holding an extra ses
sion of congress, He said in a conver
sation: "I shall tell Gen. Harrison that
not to have an. extra session will be to
gamble with fate and court defeat." Mr.
Burrows then proceeded in detail to
name what he considered .'the reasons
for the extra session. April is the
month Mr. Burrows favors for the call
ing of the extra session.
Representative Btttterworth made a
speech last week criticising some of the
methods resorted to by the Knights of
Labor in order to carry their points,
which according to the politicians,
among whom it created a genuine 'sen
sation, was bound "to be- the political
death of Butterworth. On the contrary,
Mr. Butterworth has received a flood of
letters and . telegrams, many of them
from members of the Knights of Labor,
endorsing the manly position he took in
his remarks. Bight or wrong,BeiButter
worth deserves credit for having the
moral courage to stand up in the house
and speak his opinion regarding the or
ganization that the demagogues of both
parties are always ready to humbly bow
and kneel to. Would that both house
and senate had more Ben Bntterworths,
not to make war on the Knights of La
bor or any other organization, but to
uphold the right and oppose the wrong,
no matter who might be Offended or
pleased by their action. More of the
old-fashioned manliness is one of the
crying needs of the time, particularly in
congress.
Members of the senate committee on
territories say that the Springer "om
nibus" bill, which recently passed the
house, is so contrary in its terms and so
loosely constructed, that if it were pass
ed no territory could come in under it
without further legislation. The com
mittee is now trying to see if the bill can
be patched up so as to accomplish what
it was supposed to do.
MS. REED IN VENICE.
Shm Tmiaga ef latere stoat tfce City ef
- the Watery Streets.
We came in sight of the "towers and
domes and palaces" of Venice a little be
fore night, Dec. 22. I had always
thought of the city being built on a low
shore, more as some of the cities in the
Netherlands, but instead of that the
bridge which took us over to the island
on which the city is built, is two and a'
quarter miles long the guide book says
the longest in the world. It is certainly
the longest I ever went over. I kept my
head until I passed out of the long sta
tion with the crowd and then it began to
swim. Instead of a long row of cabs and
omnibuBBes which usually await incom
ing trains in large cities, were little
queer black boats all along the dock,
two or three deep. The usual number
of labelled hotel porters stood in a row.
I called for the hotel rwanted to reach,
a porter stepped out of the ranks and
beckoned an oarsman, who took my bag
and I was told to follow. He handed
me' into the boat .and into a 'little cover
ed place in the center almost as long as
the inside of a city cab, not much un
like one with .its cushioned seats and
side windows, only you enter from the
front instead of the side. TheT6araman
stepped behind the cover and we were
off. I never was much of a hand for
fairy stories, but when we had crossed
the grand canal and glided into one of
the little narrow waterways, darting un
'der bridges and around corners, with
everything so utterly strange all- about,
I felt very much as if I were off old
terra firmer whether in fairy land -or
some other. There is no use though, it
would be simply impossible, to give any
idea of my impressions during that ride.
It was along onendlsoon got my head
again and my eyes open. The Email
canals are simply narrow water ways be
tween high buildings with frequent'high
arched buildings and sometimes under
buildings or rather through archways
under them. ' There are landings (which
are simply a few atone steps down to the
water) at all the bridges and in many
other places. Most of the houses have
their own landings. The canals are
from eight to sixteen feet wide, not like
our American streets, at right angles,
but -like the narrow streets of all. old
European cities. These little canals run
in every-direction except straight ahead.
The boats for passengers called "gondo
las," are mostly of the same shape,
varying in size, but there are boats of all
sorts. We pained loads of goods boxes
of vegetables, one of quarters of beef,
and many .with passengers. In one
was a richly dressed little girl, six or
eight years old, entirely alone as if put
in a carriage to be sent to a neighbor's,
and in another an anxious looking busi
ness man, Beaming as anxious to get
ahead as if in a London cab, a young
fellow and his' girl, who did not look as
though they were very anxious to go
any faster, a company or tourists, 1
judged they were at least, for they look
ed about as curiously as I felt Itwas
about the same as going along a street
in other cities, instead of land vehicles
with their ordinary loading, you met and
passed other vehicles with the sasae
kiad of loads.

But all these things and many aaore of
interest you can no doubt find in your
Appkton. I oan understsnd all this
better than I can understand how a
foundation for all these magnificent
buildings was ever secured on these low,
soft islands. At one time it was a city
of 200,000 now only 182,000. It is built
on three large and 114 small islands,
formed by 146 canals. This all stands
for more labor than I oan estimate or
conceive of. The water in the canals
lias rather a thick green appearance and
there is some light rubbish floating, but
it is not so turbid in appearance as one
would suppose and the dtj is not con
sidered especiaUy unhealthy. The only
thine; that saves it is that there is a
slight ebb and flow which keep the wa
ter in the canals in constant motion. To
think of a dty of 182,000 people without
a horse or carriage or road vehicle of
any sort seems very strange. You can
go all over the dtj on foot, and the
statement I have seen in books that no
body thinks of walking in Venice is a
great mistake. The streets are mostly
paved with hat stones and are from six
to eight or ten feet wide, so far as I have
seen. They are crossed by bridges of
the same width over the canals, in the
form of arches. Don't think that I have
been spending the Sabbath in making
observations. I have been to church,
but not finding just the one that suited
me in the form of service, I had .to go to
a good many and of course I looked
about on the way. I went to "San
Marco" in the morning. - As early as 829
a body, claimed to be the body of St.
Mark, was brought from Alexandria by
some Venetian merchants and deposited
here, and ever since, St. Mark has been
the patron saint of Venice. The church
that was built over his remains was de
stroyed and the present one was built in
the tenth and eleventh centuries, and a
very wonderful structure it is. I have
read of lavish expenditure upon oriental
churches, but never conceived of any
thing tike even what I see on this Italian
building. It is in the form of a Greek
cross and instead of a tower attached to
it, it has three great domes, and several
smaller ones. There are over GOO marble
columns decorating the building inside
and out, many of them on the inside
having been brought from oriental
churches. Over the principal entrance
are four bronze horses, supposed to have
once adorned the triumphal arch of
Nero, being of Roman origin. They are
of pure copper, bronzed or gilded, and
weigh about two tons each. Constantine
took them to Constantinople and when
the dty was conquered by the Venetians
they were brought here. When Na
poleon took Venice, or afterwards, he
had them taken to Paris, but they were
restored some time early in this century.
They are a sample of the curious and
valuable material that go to make up
the buildings. The service was scarcely
leas interesting than the building. All
of its surroundings are intensely inter
esting. The Doge's (ruler's, I suppose it
means) palace stands next to it. First
built in 820, but has been destroyed and
rebuilt several times. It is on the same
gorgeous scale as the church.' The
"Campanile" or bell-tower of the church
is built at some little distance (seventy
five or one hundred feet) from it. These
bell-towers I find are often separate in
Italian churches. This is a plain, square
brick pyramid, forty feet square at the
base and 850 feet high, crowned with a
large bronze angel with wings spread.
In front of the church and surrounded
on the other three sides by magnificent
marble buildings with wide arcades sup
ported by marble columns, is the best
known spot in Venioe. The finest shops
and-most noted cafes in the city are
here. I have been several times to take
another look at the church and passing
through tins "piazza" find always hun
dreds of people walking about. I am
always interested in animals. As far
back as the . thirteenth century the
Venetians were besieging Candia island,
and by means of intelligence carried by
carrier pigeons, were enabled to take it
and ever since their descendants have
been carefully attended, being fed on the
piazza at public expense. There is a
very large flock with their homes in the
nooks and cornera. They are very pretty
and the people seem to almost worship
them. Almost any time in the day you
can see men and women with their little
children supplied with packages of some
kind of seed going through, scattering it
to the birds, which are very tame. I saw
one woman hold out her hand with corn
in it, and at least half a dozen alighted
on her arm.
A WEEK IS CHICAGO.
Its IaeMeata aa4 Haafeaiag.
II SUNDAY.
The hoarse criesof the newsboys which
heralds the dawn of the Sabbath morn
would hardly warrant us in the belief
that this is the day of rest, but so it is.
And we are astonished to find that it is
nine o'clock, but then Chicagoans are
late risers on this holy day and seem re
luctant to greet it at. all, for the shades
of all the neighbors are still drawn. But
we will try what a good example will do
so we rise, and after a light breakfast
must begin to dress for our devotional
proceedings. The church which will
most probably interest us, as strangers,
is the "Church of the Ascension" of the
very high Episcopal denomination. It
is on La Salle avenue and our walk there
will take us down this, one of the pret
tiest avenues on the North Side. We
have a distance of little over half a mile
to go, but no matter, as we have plenty
of time and an abundance of interesting
things to see. The avenue is very wide
and the walks on either aide being wide
also, lined aU akmg with most luxuriant
tress it presents a very pretty, sight- The
ifjflfaioest runts are kept scrupulously
clean and an visited by the sweepers
twice a week. But as we walk along we
see vary few yards oonaaionslly there
will he one-u very small one, but etui
vary valuable. And to give one some
ioaet property valne, lots SO feet deep
ob this avenue command on an average
9800 afoot front. Ik almost every in
stance a little plot of grass 8x18 feet
between the walk and the curb,
forafjontyard,but
is carefully
watered and BMlnusly guarded on all
aides by an iron fence presumably to
prevent some forlorn little dog from
"gamboling on the rolling award," or
perhaps a stray footfrom tfeniasainj
within its saored.raalm; but this m
hardly neoessary as the trees I mention
ed are planted directly in the canter ef
these "lawns" and consequently little
room is left for any ordinary Chicago
foot! The houses are set atarttingly
Bear the street the bottom of the steps
landing directly upon the pavement.
Very many are of the basement type
with a flight of steps that resaind one of
the proverbial "golden stairs" because of
such extraordinary length, leading to the
front entrance. But look! What a great
house that ia! It looks like a great
hotel but' it isn't. It is one of those
fashionable apartment houses. Probably
in this one house there .are as many as
twelve or fourteen separate and distinct
families each occupying one of the apart
ments which consists of seven or nine
rooms. We must walk hw as we are
passing and take a good look. The en
trance is in the center and passing the
plate glass doors one stands in a palatial
hall with marble floors and oak walls
from which a flight of stain of heavily
carved wood lead to the upper floors. A
colored light at the foot of these casts
its dainty glow on this pretty scene,
while at the farther end of tbe room is
the elevator. This is a perfect little
marvel of beauty and is kept running
from 6 in the morning till 11 at night.
There are probably two apartments on
each floor and the building is six stories,
high. Each one is finished hsndsairijriy,
and heated with steam. Two janitors
are employed for this and two darkies
for the elevator. The rent of one of
these apartments of course depends
largely upon the location. Those on the
first floor are all the way from $125 to
$160 a month. This is a very popular
mode of living in Chicago and such
apartment houses are frequently seen on
the avenues and boulevards.
But here we are at the church and we
must stop gossipping. We open ' the
door and drawing aside the heavy por
tieres disclose to view the interior of the
oddest and prettiest of the Protestant
churches. The -broad center aisle car
peted in olive green leads down to the
altar, while on either side are the pews.
The real novelty lies in the walls, which
are of the finest dark pressed brickyin
stead of the usual gaudy paper, or still
worse, the cold white plastered walls.
This, combined with oak trimmings,
forms - a beautiful -as well as suitable
combination. As it is early, the soft
notes of the prelude fill the whole
church with the most solemn and soul
ful music. The pipe organ in this church
is of medium size (about as large as an
ordinary room) but many here are per
fectly gigantic. The organ is of the
same wood; and now let's take a good
look at the chancel. This is like a
Catholic church, being large and most
magnificently appointed. The carpet
ing here is of red velvet and the railings
and trimmings are of highly polished
brass. The altar is covered with myriads
of bright burning candles in most lovely
gold candlebra. Flowers are in profu
sion, especially on the holy days. One
would scarcely know but they were in a
Catholic church, so nearly do the servi
ces resemble. But the priest is offering
a prayer in the little ante-room and as
he finishes the doors are swung open and
a long procession moves up the aide.
Dont they look pretty, all in' white
surplices, and their voices just echo!
The first three in the procession are clad
in long red silk gowns covered with lace
surplices, the two on the outside bearing
tall waxen candles painted most elabo-'
rately, and walking between them is the
standard-bearer holding high above a
banner of white satin on which is a
painting of the Christ-child, and orna
mented with gold and silver. Following
these are two lads with the holy incense,
throwing all about the room the fragrant
vapor. Then follows the cross-bearer
with a heavy golden cross towering high
above their heads and just preceding the
choir. 'How cunning the little fellows
look, some hardly old enough to read
the hymns. They march two abreast,
each two being a trifle taller than the
two ahead, until it comes to the men.
There are all the way from 50 to 75 in
these choirs and one can imagine the
music that rings from 75 well trained
voices. But wniie we nave been so en
gaged looking at this procession we
almost missed the other one that is issu
ing from the side door. This last is
composed of the acolites, deacons and
lastly the priest in his long robes and
queer looking cap. This, like the other,
is preceded by a cross-bearer and the
two meet in the chancel. The choir is
seated inside the railings and the organ
is there also. The processional hymn
being finished, Father Larrabee ascends
to the altar followed by the acolites
bearing candles and silken scarfs, and
chants the first verse of the psalms for
the day. The servioe is all in English
and this is the only noticeable feature to
distinguish it from the Roman Catholic
mass. Then follows a "Magnificat" or
some selection by the choir, accompanied
by the morgan and a violin quartette.
Some of the churches even employ, cor
netists and various wind instrumental
but the string music is far prettier and
in much better keeping. The servioe is
most impressive throughout but most of
it is singing and praise, even the creed
being put to sublime music. This church
has been long noted for its aristocratic
congregation and surelyone feels the truth
of this unmistakably as he sits and notes
the appearance and the manners of those
composing it. Chicago is rsaiaiialiln
for its well dressed ladies, and whether
it be at the matinee, on the .street, or at
church in the morning or evening, this
is always noticeable. Perhaps I should
not have said church, for if there is one
place that ladies dress plainer than at
anotheritminthechurch. Thecostume
is always elegant but rather more plain
than will be seen elsewhere. But we
must stop talking "style," for the servioe
being finished, the choir is again form
ing and in the same order as before, are

exclusion of the "upper four hundred"
who make this more of a day of rest. So
sit in one's window of a Sunday after
noon and watch the constant stream of
people passing and repealling it prostata
every phase of. a veritable panorama.
The variety of humanity is astonishing,
but for style all the way from the charm
ing to the ludicrous, it affords an unlim
ited display. The latter seems much in
the majority, however. On this partic-
lar day all the Bohemians, Norwegians
and Scandinavians ire out in all their
finery, and as they go hurrying along
hither and thither, followed by a horde
of' little urchins tike steps of stairs, all
jabbering their various tongues remind
ing one of the scene at the Tower of
Babel tbe thought comes that this fair
land is a veritable refuge and the native
home of the emigrants the Americana
being the foreigners.
