The California Senators,

OF the new California Senators elect,
one, Gov. Booth. is a bachelor and an
independent anti-mouopoly Republi-
can. The other, Judge Hogan, is a
Democrat. He was married last year
to lady hel6itgiiig to a prominent
Catholic family of Missouri. The cleo
ton to the United States Senate of two
men of opposite politics by the same
Legislation shows that the old party
liues in California have beeh greatly
weakened, if not obliterated. by new

POETRY.
For the Pass.
THE PAST
BY EDWARD .


How swiftly time. on pinions wide,
Flies DER the weary scenes of life,
Nor minds each fear r-belcaguered stride
We step amid its scenes OF strife.
1t colors. with a roseate hue,
The path our way does lead along;
1t makes the old appear like new,
And pleasures present does prolong.
In mind We wander down the past,
And taste the bliss that long has fed,
We dream of JOYS that could not last,
And sainted dear ones that are dead.
The flowers are blooming as of yore,
The trees are clad in lovely green,
But. oh, how sad we see no D.ore,
The gem that gave our life i,h eteen.
We stop. in fancy, near the sp,'t
Round which our sunniest mem'ries cling
And wonder if twill be forgot,
The thought that mingles joy and sting.
We look and look and yet the face
That gave the place its dearest charm
Has vanished, and its winning grace
Now loans some other spot its charm.
\ sense of loneness fills the heart
O'ershadows all the mind with gloom,
How deep the pain, how keen the smart,
When told of many in the tomb.
We miss friend. that years ago
Sailed with us down lfe's weary tide.
And only do we ask to know
That with the others, too, he's died.
OF years decade near has passed.
And change, like straying leaves is strewn
And little girls are ladies classed,
Who years agone, were yet ungrown.
Each 'ry of them now has fled,
Their faces vanished from MY mind,
know them not since childhood sped,
Nor left single trace behind.
Oh. mem'ry blest, thou dost enshrine
Our hearts around with circ!ets bright,
And Hopes sweet garands do entwine
Our souls with wreaths Of pure delight.
We drink at retrospection's fount,
And quaff. and quati, and quaG again,
And hope the cup-a large amount
Will with the pleasure, drown all pain
Oh. holy mem'ry. sainted. dear.
Within the warmth of thy embrace,
Wen smile in JOY shed the tear,
And run more eager in lite's race.
Wen praise each retrospection dear,
That in tiny wake thou Oft dost bring,
The laugh the Jest. the sigh, the tear.
And all that from thy fours. .'oes spring.
Farev ell to all the tide Of 49,
That swiftly to lifc's sea hm. ',,n,
Farew ell to all the g,ocsrssre"s
That all along our patliare Y.
For far away In realms of ore.
A glory glist'ning like th'ching
win pave the road with mei,.,..es bright,
And joy, TRUE be there begun.

The following figures are suggestive aud
require no comment. 1t will lie rcmcm-
bered that, in response TO Il resolution of
the House, the secretary of the treasury
prepared, and forwarded to shat body, a
statement of the penalties incurred at the
ports of New York and Boston for "oyasion
of duties" the amounts thereof collected,
the proportion received by the United
States. etc., from Mach, 1850, to Novcm-
Der. 1919. The report shows that the
"dutipa cvaded" were S222, IA, while the
penalties incurred thereby, with the cost
and expenses of collection added, were So
'53, 5l2-- so that over three aud halt
millions of dollars was exacted as pen
atty for not paying less than one fifteenth
.f that amount of duties, many. if not the
most of these ''cvasions' being entirely in
nocent, and as much the fault of the rev.
enue officer rs of the importer. These are
not all of the figures, nor are they the most
suggestive ones. OF the amount stated,
the United States received Sl9l4,7iG,
while "infoimers," the collector naval Of
ficer and surveyor received Sl,S3S, 16G.
The collector received over four hundred
thousand dollars, or about hundred
thousand dollars a year, in addition to his
other fees and perquistics. Who wouldn't
be collector? The Boston figures are not
as large, but the proportions arc the SINE.

IN the course Of the "Sumner debate"
Friday, MIR. Perkins, representing por-
ton of the city of Boston in the state house
of representatives, said that ''thc idea that
treason must be made odious was mis-
take" 1t seems hardly possible that such
man could support Charles Sumner-but
so il is. There is not much of the john A.
Andrew and Charles Sumner of 1861 TO
1865, in such sentiments. We do not be-
lieve it TO be the sentiment Of the country,
north or south, yet it was uttered in the
Massachusetts legislature, and passed over
without note or comment. Massachusetts
seems to be progressing backward good
deal" fastcr than Louisiana is progressing
forward. Treason must not be made
odous,' says Mr.. Perkins, neither "should
anything bc done to make rebels blush II
so, the converse Of the proposition must be
true-trcason must be made to appear love
ly, and traitors applaulcd for their treason.
Massachusetts may subscribe TO such
doctrine, but, We thank God, Vermont is
not poisoned by the same kind of virus.

the other can be taken only rs tho senti-
mont of majority, at the present time,
not in favor of Summers battle flag rcsolr-
ton, but Of personal devotion 10 him. Al
most the outre argument was placed on
this gr9und--that Mr.. Summers notions
were pure and that he had right to do rs
he did. The folly Ct the whole thing, both
in General Jacksons and Mr.. Summers
case, consists in tho fact tina, no principle

olutions. Surprising, for instance, that
votes had been passed which might, by i'm
plication, be construed into tho censurc of
remote constable or postmaster, could
any one have been found TO exchange or.

same men who voted TO "cxpungc inn

system of deposits in state banks and pro-
yidod national institutions for that purpose.
