There is nothlnn that commends the appointment of I’tofoaaor lianielH. *>l New Jersey, a* a member of the interstate commerce commission more than the character of tfie opposition to him. ui displayed In the executive session of the si date Such aeasiotia are nominally secret, hut the leaders of that opposition made no secret aC their reasons and motive*. Professor Daniels is a competent man who un derstands economic principles and believes In treatthc oven railroad corporations with reason and Justice. That was enough to excite the wrath ful opposition of a number of radical and excitable senators. What seems to have annoyed them even more than their failure to de feat the appointment watt the rule of the senate which restrained them from havink their objections and the motives that inspired them paraded in the public prints A motion to re movo tho pledge of secrecy, which few acemed to be very scrupulous about observing, was voted down, and this raised the wrath of ulne worthies among the opponents headed by the redoubtable and irrepressible I .aFol lette. This valiant adversary of all corporate power and all freedom of capital, let it be known that he had told tho senate to its face, in the ses alon In regard to whose proceedings he was bound to secrecy, that he •'considered it a mistake to have con sidered (he nomination behind closed doors." He may be right about that, but when he "served notice" that he could no longer toel himaelT bound to ob serve a rule that proven*ed him from discussing publicly any matter "con' neeted with legislation," be being the judge of It* connection with legisla tion, he went rather far, to pul it mildly If a member of the senate is not to feel hound to observe one of Us rules he will be quite as free to disregard any other or all others when It suit* hi* purpose. The senate has hardly rules enough to preserve the proprieties, when Us courtesies and discourtesies .permit the kind of tac tics sometimes resorted to for stav ing off "matters of legislation.” We see no particular reason why appoint ments to office should be considered in secret and It might be Just a* well to let senators air their mo fives for opposing them In publlr; but if a change is to b* made it should he made by modify ing the rules Hnd not by defying then; The secrecy of executive sessions has come very near to being farcical anvwav HOLY WEEK. The Christian world during Holy Week approaches Good Friday with preat reverence Even those not given to religious thought or church going cannot fall to feel the sol emnity of the season. "We call it the Great Week,” sa> s St Chrysos tom. "no! that It contains a greater cumber of days, nor that the days in it are longer, but on account of the great things which God has wrought in It. For on these days waa tho tyrant of the devil overthrow-n, deaih disarmed, sin and it* curse taken iwiv, heaven opened and made ac cessible and men made fellows with the angels* St Chrysostom beauti fully lev presses the wonderful achieve ment* oi Holy Week. Ihi nearer wo approach to the sol- i enmity of Christ's Buffering* and res urrection, by which mysteries *ll of | the greatest blessing* were poured forth upon men, the more are wo ! obligated to show all manner of acta iof mercy and charity and klnduus* | toward our follow ntcu i Hack In ancient times It wss a 1 son of sackclot.il and ashes In a lit i eral sense Killing monareb* weru merciful during Holy Week Em peror* used to forbid the execution of any offender during Holy Week. Acts of mercy were exercised by all in authority. Thin was the custom among Christian rulers, of course there were other* who | aid hut little at tention to the week of denial. Maa'ers likewise were generous with their slaves. Thai were given the freedom of the week Ir. order that they might make peace with the great Father The imperial law* of Theodoslps forbade ail Judicial acts or, legal pro cesses during the week before Easter and the week following. "Lot ail ac tion at i*w, whether public, or private, cease in the fifteen paschal daya. I<et *ll men have liberty at this time to grant freedom to their Oaves and whatever acts are necessary to be done at law for this purpose are not prohibited ” This was (he edlet of the emperor, still treasured In the archive* of history.

When the estimates 4 /a made the commissioners as a whole are held ac countable for the coat of the gov ernment When the estimate* are corrected and fixed the amount is called tho annual budget. Taxes sre' levied to aomunt sufficient to meet the budget Then the commissioner of finance Is directly responsible for the collec tion of the taxes. This commissioner apportions the amount to the various departments. Each commissioner make* a com plete report every day to the com missioner of finance of hla depart ment for that day. The commissioner of finance also kee g a complete check upon each fund, lierause every voucher is signed by him and charged Immediately to the department against which it Is drawn. , A commissioner of finance Is en abled to tell any taxpayer in the ctty unj hour in tpe day the exact amount of cash on hand In any department. The books are balanced every even ing. No comblssioner is allowed to ex ceed the amount of cash on hand in his department at any time. If the commissioners vote to allow a bill when the cash is not on hand in that department to pay the voucher, by that act the commissioners forfeit their office. If the commissioner ot finance indorses a voucher when the cash is not on hand to pay it, he not only forfeits his office, but is re sponsible on his financial bond for that amount. Under this system the city is conducted on a cash basis. The annual budget once made, can not be exceeded. The commissioners forfeit their offices if they exceed the amount in any one of the depart ments. . Under this system no commission government city can be run into debt. There can be no deficit in the city treasury. - j, T ■ • ACROSS THE STYX "Here's n shade won't give his name." announced the imp who was reglatarlng guests. "What does he say?” Inquired Satan.
