A Dishonored Rule.
Among the rules of the national
House ol Representatives is one grant
ing the privileges of the floor to ex
members, Senators and other parties
named, upon application to the Speaker
in writing accompanied by a declara
tion that the privilege will not he Used
for the purpose of lobbying. This rule
was adopted after the flagrant disclos
ures of .the Credit Mobilier, Pacific
Mail and other schemes had disgraced
the national Legislature. That it has
been considered a dead letter is evi
denced In the fact that a large number
of ex-membersof Congress have settled
in Washington City to pursue the avo
cations of lobbyists and claim agents,
their opportunities to approach Con
gressmen and government officials af
fording them superior advantages in
the practice.
During the progress of the contested
election case of English vs. Peelle,
Mr. Brown, of Indiana, extorted from
the tariff reformers tlie confession that
the rule was to all intents and pur
poses a dead letter. Tlie confession
was shameful, notwithstanding its
naivete, and the burning indignation
indulged by Mr. Blount and the evi
dent alarm exhibited by Mr. Thomp
son did not relieve it of any of its bad
features. After debate, upon motion
of Mr. Hammond, a committee was
raised with plenary powers to investi
gate the whole matter.
We confess that we do not anticipate
the report of the committee, if one
should ever be made, with any degree
of satisfaction. Members will not
tell on themselves, and the ex
members and lobbyists will not
imperil a lucrative business. The very
least that can be hoped for will be an
honest attempt to inforce the rule,
which is wise one, for the future.
The writer recalls the fact of seeing
one of these ex-member lobbyists han
dling the bills on the clerk’s desk, dar
ing the closing hours of the Congress,
in the hope of getting the bills in which
he was interested in shape for consid
eration. And during this present ses
sion, a correspondent, in describing
tlie closing scene at the final vote on
the whisky hill, had Watterson flying
out of one door and Green B. Katun out
of another when some member alluded
to the fact that they were endeavor
ing to influence votes in favor of the
measure.

Macon haj been called the City of Pala

country. To horticulture and flori-
culture more than to any other cause is
probably due tlie city's reputation for

and costly plants, expensive shrubbery,
hothouses and flowers without end. Upon
many porches I have seen piled in pro*
miscuous beauty collections of plants that
would cost a hundred dollars, and within
the confines of a number of front yards
shrubbery that could not be purchased for
thousands.
This is property untaxed and untaxable;
and only in rare instances is il made a
source of revenue. And yet most people
would part with many comforts before
they would willingly give up the unas

to the Hon. Hcrrepont. Had Mr. Ed

would have put on Its wraps.
—Grant's private and public character
is not such as to raise the presumption
that he was innocent of fraud in the Grant
A Ward defalcations. Add tothts the fact
that lie was senior partner In the Arm and
it will be seen that the presumption la

What constitutes a Hue flower garden?
A difficult question. A gentleman recently
told me that the handsomest floral effect
he had ever seen was produced by roses ln
fiont, sunflowers on one and morning glo-
ries on the other side of a bouse. But
many people regard the sunflower ns too
common for cultivation, and the morning
glory, wonderfully delicate and richly
varied though It be, as positively vulgar.
Since the establishment of a first-class
seed-house ln our midst the people havs
been freed from the domination and ava
rice of the traveling seedsman, and the
contents ot the flower garden wonderfully
varied. In reply to a question as to what
flower seed were most tn demsnd, Mr.
Sargent referred to his sale book and gave
the names of slxty-eight annuals. These
have been sold In all tbelr varieties ma
king a list ot several hundred plants.
They may been seen about the city and
their effect in flower gardens readily dis-
cemed. Interested in the production of
these plants, I accepted an Invitation from
Mr. E. M..Sargent to visit the nursery of
his firm, which is st'unted to the left ot
l*io Nono college and about a mile from the
city. The tract ot land embraces about
twenty-flve acrai, and it is really wonder-
ful to see wbat lias been accomplished up
on ground of ordinary fertility within a
few months. Under the guide ot the pro
prietor's father, a thorough Honst and
botanist, I was shown all over the nurse
ry. 1 passed thousands of gillitlowert,
French marigolds, [lortulacas in all colors,
coxcombs ln all varieties, verbenas, swtt:
alysums, Uellchrysnms or everlasting
flower, zinnias, doable ci
flowered balsam, African mari
gold:, mixed portunlas, canary ‘birds,
a plant whose bloom resembles
miniature canary, Japan pinks, asters,
amaranths and phlox drumondll. No es
timate could be formed of the number of
planta growing. 8ome idea, bowaver, may
be obtained of the vast quantity, when It
is known that o( one variety of these flow-
era a'one 16,000 were growing in sight.
The planta are not yet In full bloom, but
are thriving. In a couple of sreeks tlie
twenty-odd acres will lie covered with every
hue ot the rainbow.
