constiiution. which is the written
.r. s-ion of the people's will circuiu-
seribes the power ot us all. Under its
plain terms you cannot even propose
an amendment ot one syiiao e or that
iuttrumt nt until two tnirds of both
house vote for it. and then and not
until then will the people who made
and own this government even con-
sider your wi-lns. Like theTiibunes
of tne ohlen times they will veto your
woik if they please. You say they
won't amend it? Whatof that? It is
their business not ours. Whenever
they feel a necessity for a chanue you
will hear from them and until then
we should btm.d it if they can. All
his cry for a convention of constitu-
tion makers has its root iu the idea
that we are here as government mak-
ers instead of law makers. We are hut
agents under the constitution which
is our power of attorney and a decent
regard tor our ma ters should keen ns
f.oin asking an enlHrgeiuei t of our
cowers until they liri-t suggest their
wishes in their popular as eiublag.-s.

Nellie S Stoned Views Firth Avenue an

rS-cl il Oirrespon Jeace.
Nbw Yop.k Jan 22. If the angels
can roidly ltsik down from above what
a curious snrht they mnst seel For they
behold not. alone the outward adorning
but the inner furnishing of the hearts of
the men and women who make up the
moving throntr.
Fifth aveuue New York on Sunday
after the various congregations are dis-
missed is a moving panorama of good
clothes and restless eyes. There are two
lines of pedestrians one moving np the
other down. One line starts somewhere
in the vicinity of Central park and rolls
downward like a resistless tide; tha
other begins in the region of Madison
square and unlike ordinary streams
gathers volume as it goes up hill. Little
rivulets of people trickle into the main
current from all of the side streets and
lose themselves in the moving mass.
Just stroll along slowly down the street.
Take the outside of the walk for New
Yorkers always turn to the right and
we will not jostle or be jostlfcd.
Do you see that littlo woman in black?
She weara widow's weeds. Demure
looking isn't she? Doesn't look as
though sho earned every dollar that sup-
ports herself and four little ones by sew-
ing does she? But it is true; and she
comes out every Sablmth day not alto-
gether for the sake of going to church
for she hasn't time for that although she
hopes she is a Christian but to see
what people are wearing and to get the
prevailing styles. I know sho has her
prayer book and am well aware that
you are frowning but I think hor sin
will not be accounted grievous on the
great day of reckoning. She cannot
spare the time for church except occa-
sionally because this is the only day she
has for her children. Sho rises early
gets them ready for Sabbath school and
while they are gone sho puts her house
in order. It is her only day you know.
After luncheon she takes each child to
her room for an hour and exchanges con-
fidences with it hears all of its little
troubles and perplexities and reviews
the week witih it. She finds out if its
Sunday and week day lessons are learned
and who it talks with what it says and
hears. When she has tucked the last
little sleeper in on Sunday night she
knows much more about their inner life
than many mothers who have no other
care t han the education and training of
their little ones.
Don't you think her mild deception
lifter church will bo forgiven her? - hero!
Look at that woman. She is tho picture
of amiability isn't she? But woe to the
unfortunate woman who incurs her dis-
plcasurel She can forgive a man any-
THE PARADE.
thing but nothing can atone for any
slight or offense from a woman. And
the strangest part of it is she doesn't
know that sho is uncharitable. Trifles
turn her amiability to venom and she
broods over them until she really believes
she is the most abused woman in the
world and that it is her duty to de-
nounce and punish those who offend her.
That man? Oh yes ho i3 spoken of as
a philanthropist. Ho is pompous opin-
ionated stubborn. Well maybe his gifts
to public institutions will atone for some
of his private sins bnt they are grievous
and many. He turned his youngest
daughter out of doors because she mar-
ried against his will and when her hus-
band died and she was left with a sick
baby and destitute this old sinner re
fused to see or help her and the baby
died "for lack of proper nourishment"
tho doctor said. Envied? Oh yes by
thousands for they only see the veneer
of charity with which he has incased
himself and they think him a great and
good man..
Do yon know that lady? Unpreten-
tious looking isn't she? But there are
abodes of poverty where her face brings
smiles and welcoming words and sub-
stantial blessings follow in her train;
there are food for the hungry and warm
clothes for the destitute. She doesn't
need to have her name blazoned on
earthly tablets for it is recorded in
heaven nnd surely tho registering angel
sjniles and touches his pen more gontly
k the page as he writes her name.
There is a man who lives entirely upon
his wife's earnings. He got that dia-
mond from her by threats of self de-
struction. She gave it np to presorve
peace in the household. She hi been
obliged to allowance him for years and
he has well nigh bankrupted her several
times.
And that oh yes the old story. He
was a millionaire once and ho wasted
his substance in riotous living. Now he
begs you to give l.iin u few cents for a
cup ol coffee he says but it will go into
the till of therumseller. Don't give him
money. I have no ilouiit ho ii hungry
bo toko him ir.ta that re.'.tamv.iit and
give him soute'footl that will be whole-
some. An! the taroag has vanished. The
people who wore the good clothes have
potto home to O.ancr and those who
come out to see them have gone home to
make notes while wu have ocly moral-
ized a bit mid whil'. (1 away the hour be-
fore our Sunday's midday awal.
