THE CHRONICLE.
OLD MAXIM.
"HoE YOUR OWN Row.


think there are some maxims
Under the sun,
Scarce worth preservation;
But here, boys, is one
SO sound and so simple,
'Tis worth while TO know;
And all in the single line,
Hoe yourown rowi
Ifyou want to have riches,
And want to have friends,
Don't trample the means down.
And look for the ends;
But always remember
Wherever you go,
The wisdom OF practising,
Hoe your own row!
Don't just sit and pray,
For increase Of your store,
But work; who will help himself,
Heaven helps more.
The weeds while you're sleeping
VIII come up and grow,
But II you would have the
Full ear, you must hoe!
Nor will It do only
To hoe out the weeds,
You must make yourground mellow,
And put on the seeds;
And when the young blade
Pushes through, you must know
There is nothing will strengthen
It's BIOhlH llAS the nOS4
There's no use Of saying
What will be, will be;
Once try il, my lack-brain.
And see what you'll seei
Why, just small potatoes,
And few in a row;
You'd better take hold then,
And honestly hoe
A good many workers
I've known in my time
Some builders of houses,
Some builders Of rhyme!
And that they were proSpered,
Were prospered know,
By the intent and meaning OF
Hoe your own roei
I've known. too, good many
ldlers, who said,
I've right to my living,
The world owes me bread
A right! lazy lubber!
A thousand times No!
sTiS his, and his only
Who hoes his own row.

lOu5tgStOtc1ls Olto.
Idesire to say further that to read
from school-boOks fifteen years old
paragraphs about the bladders of fish,
es and the flying of birds to prove that
this House ought not to print the re-
port of an officer whose report has
been printed for the last three years,
and who has been recognized as an
able and industrious officer, or to at
tribute to him unworthy or corrupt
motives because his report does not
agree with our theories and opinions,
is, in my judgment, lamentable ex-
hibition of weakness on our part
For myself do not intend to cast any
vote while I am a member of this
House for which / do not see valid
reasons. If Mr.. Wells or any other
man can show me that any duty on
imported goods is so high as to work
more injury than benefit to the coun-
try 1 should be unworthy this place
were 1 not to follow my convictions.
Give US the facts. Here is the forum
where they should lie scrutinized and
weighed.
Ihope there will be less passion and
more prudence brought to the con-
sideration of this great subject than
this day exhibits.

Remarks of Hon. ]. A. Garfield

! On the Resolution to print 5000 copies
ofthe Report nf Commissioner Wells.
Mr.. Garfield, of Ohio. In the three
minutes granted to me desire to say
that l represent as large an iron in
terest as any other member of this
House, with perhaps the exception of
two or three, and L have always en-
deavored to defend that interest here.
But if were the enemy of the manu-
featuring interests of my district and
of this country would certainly vote
against printing this report of the
Special Commissioner of the Revenue.
II desired TO give the free-trade
movement of this country the great
est impulsion I could possibly give it
by one vote 1 would vote against
printing this report, forI should there
by confess that / was afraid of the
truth contained in that document
Whatever in it is true will prevail;
whatever in it is not true will fall
Those who built shrines for the god
dess Diana, when they heard the
preaching of the apostle, fearing their
craft was in danger, stopped theirears
and cast dust in the air, and for the
space of two hours cried, "Great is
Diana of the Ephesians ~ 1 fear they
will have imitators in us if we refuse
to print this report. To print this re-
port is not to indorse its conclusions
nor to accept its facts.
1t is but Just to the furnace men of
my district that 1 should call atten-
tion to letter / have received from
one of the leading firms there, and
the statements of which are indorsed
by several others, giving in detail the
cost of producing pig-iron. That state
ment differs materially from the esti-
mate made by the Special Commits
sioner in his report. If their figures
are correct, then the Commissioner
has made mistake in regard to the
cost of producing pig-iEon in our por-
ton of the country. 1t emanates from
men well known to me and who COM
mand the confidence of all who know
them. This is the statement:

senator RNmsey's Postal Mission.
The Postmaster General, In his response
TO Congress to the resolutions as to Senator
kamsey's connection with French postal af-
fairs, quotes largely from his annual report
TO show the condition OF postal arrange
ments with France. He says that since
1871 postal Arrangements have been the
subject Of negotiation between the postal
departments, subject to the approval Of the
President, rather than the subject OF dIplo-
matte mediation.
Postal negotiations are usually conducted
by eplstolary correspondence, but special
agents have, on three occasions, been COM
mlssloned for the purpose.
On the esd Of March, 1895, selah r.
Habbie, then Second Assistant Postmaster
General, was sent as special agent to the
different European countries at an expense
ofS3,023.07, which was paid from the spe-
oial agent fund.
In 1867 Mr.. John A. kasson was sent as
special agent TO France. His expenses were
S5,5I9l1.
In the month of June last Hon. Alexander
Ramsey, chairman Of thd Senate Committee
on Post oGiees and Post RoadI, consented,
at the earnest request Of the Postmaster
General, TO act as a special agent Of the
department, TO arrange postal agreement
with France, subject to tho approval OF the
Postmaster General, with the understanding
that he was TO be allowed the necessary ex.
penses Incurred by him in conducting tho
negotiations.
He had been paid for his individual ex-
penses in Paris $1,000 currency, (S72l "a
goldD TO his clerk, Z. Z. Pauldlng, 81 ,F2,0 90
currency, (Sl 900 gold y to Mr.. +. B. Hon.
man, inspector and translator, $3.50, (&l5O
gold D making In all the sum Of S2,6o0. 10
currency, (Sl,s74 gold.) With regard to
tho authority Of the Postmaster General TO
appoint special agents, there IL no statute
expressly authorizing such appointment,
except his general authority To "superIn-
tend the business OF the Department" by
the law Of March 8, 1895. The existence OF
special agents has been recognized by the
act Of July, 1896, authorizing advances to
be made to special agents and by the yearly
appropriations for the payment of their sal.
aries.
Extracts Of dispatches from Minister
Washburue are given to show tho diligence
and ability exhibited by Senator Ramsey.
In these dispatches Mr.. WAshburne speaks
In the highest terms Of the efforts Of the
Senator The explanation given by Mr..
Creswcll will doubtless prove fully satlsfae-
tory to the committee and to the House.
