POPPIES IN THE WHEAT.

Along Ancona's hills the shimmering heat

Bathes all the fields OF wheat until they glow
Like flashing seas OF green, which toss ana beat
Around the vines. The peoples 1.-the and iieet
Seem running, fery tOrchmen 90 and fro
To mark the shore. The farmer does not know
That they are there. lie works with heavy feet,
Counting the bread and wine by autumn's gam.
But II smile 20 think that DAYS remain
Perhaps TO me in which though bread he sweet
No more and red wine warm my blood IN vain,

Little poppies ran like torchmen with the wheat.

Javus.s States Evidence.

We naturally prefer to wait the conclu-
sion of the Ways an6 Means Committee
Investigation IN the moiety system before
saying much about it. But we cannot re-
frain from giving attention to a somewhat
startling declaration made by JAYNE be-
fore the COMMITTEES. Here IL is.
mir. Jayne, in reply to questions by
Mr.. Beck, of the Committee, said in sixty
one cases in his charge ffty-two or fifty
three were in consequence of collision
with Custom house officers. He reported
them to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Some of those officers are now out of place,
but others are still in Office. He reported
the facts to the Secretary. 1t was no part
of the functions of the Special Agent to
do anything more than report the facts.
He thought, however, these men ought
not to be IN Office.
"Mr. Beck-You do not Think it safe 20
carry OIL business where such men are kept
in Office. ed u...a
"Mr. Jayne-While thieves are in Of
fee, l look ON the seizure ofbooks and pa
bers as no better than highway robbery
and 30 1 have quit. daughter y
Here we have it from the lipsOfthe man
who played the most prominent part in
this seizure business that ffty-three out
of sixty-one cases he reported to the Treas
nry were the result of direct COLLISION
with Custom-house officials, from. whom
no doubt he received the information. In
stead of making q clean sweep of these
dishonest officials, JAYNE himself says
that while some were removed Others are
TO this day IN Office. Why are they kept
there2 Surely either as q reward for aV-
ing swelled moieties or as decoys to en-
snare new victims, fools or knaves as these
may be. Mr.. BECK may well have asked
JAYNE whether ne thought it safe to carry
on business in such a state of affairs.
But JAYNE may not well answer with so
much nonehalance that while thieves are
in office he looks upon selz1resof books as
no better than highway robbery. o.
This state ofeffairs here exposed by one
Of the creatures of it has n on for FIVE
years, and still, according to JAYNE, pa
tent to such a degree that his own not
bVer-tender conscience feels qualms.
We invite the honest Republicans of
Ohio to consider, IN view Of their APP
preaching election, whether a Partythat
Allows these robberies; collisions, and cor
fuptons TO be committed and covered up
IS worthy their support.
Party differences may run high, hard
statements may be made by opposing par
ties, but surely when rascalhties of SO fla
grant a kind are revealed it Is no longer a
question This is not a party question
i is question between the people and
rascal spies. n
Would the fifty three cases of collisions
JAYNE mentions have been possible if the
officials had been honest ?
And what warrant is there against
fraud when these men are kept in Office 2

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.

The temperance movement continues,
and, in many p~lacesis the absorbing ques
ton. We can not find spacs to chronicle
the Incidents and details Of the excitement.
That it is phenomenal there can be no
doubt, and aver if the women were sue
cessful in closing the drinking places-their
work would not endure without some
other arrangements which would give per-
sons an opportunity for proper resort and
recreation. Robert Owen. some seventy
years ago, in the town of New Lanark,
Scotland, dried up the dram shops in q
very different way. The little town of some
1000 inhabitants, depended mainly upon
the cotton mills of which he had charge.
He got an evening school started and lit
lie by little got old and young interested
in the movement. adding a library, and a
day school for the younger children of the
work people. Lectures were soon a fea-
tare also. the company bearing in all these
a good part of the expense. Instead OF
the workmen loafng their hours awayin
the dram shops, spending their wages and
coming home drunk to abuse their desti-
tpte families, they were more happily en-
gagged, improving their own minds and
attending to the Improvement of their
children. These people soon appreciated
the change themselves, and the company,
encouraged in their good work, in time
erected comfortable dwellings convenient
to the mills, and adopted other measures
to give their work people a special interest
in the business. 1t was a comparatively
short time till every dram shop disap-
peared from the place, and, for fifty years,
according to the last report we saw, not a
law suit nor an arrest had occurred in the
town of New Lanark. Besides this, these
mills had been more profitable than others
n Great Britain, and had never suspended
operations while nearly all the others had.
The company found their work people
better skilled, more attentive, more acoh-
tented and ahealthfuI, and hence the mills
we're more profitable. This sketch ipdi-
tcates the proper and desirabss mode efJe7
form, and we submit tito thinkingpeople.
In this plan, is no "war-no violene9-
nothing Of doubtful legality. Il us, in no
sense, doing evil that good may come, In
short, we consider it the true plan to bring
about lasting reform, and noble Improves
ment,
