At no time, for years, has Moline con-

nor are these cases confined to certain
localities or classes as is usually the case,
but, on the contrary, they number those

probability of such an emergency
There are those on the list whose suffering
is the direcy result of the hard times, and
although Supervisor Reid has done every
thing he could under the law to alleviate
the suffering yet he is unable to satisfy
their wants properly. This condition of
things calls for united action on the part of
| our churches and benevolent people, and
should be acted upon at once. Moline,
with her immense wealth, cannot, or at

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The Republi-
can senators were in caucus to day nearly
two hours and without coming to any
conclusion, adjourned till clock The
whole time was consumed in general dis
sussion, first, whether the passage of the
electoral bill was Republican surrender,
and, second, whether Republican members
of the commission should consist of ad-
vocates of the so-called surrender or Of
opponents of the bill.
The Democratic senators may not have
q caucus as it seems understood that
Thurman and Bayard will be selected to
represent them on the commission,
The president, in his message, APPROX
ing the act providing for count of the
electoral vote, says he believes the bill
gives assurance that the result of the
election will be accepted without resis-
tance from the supporters of the disap-
pointed candidate and that the highest
officer shall not hold his place with ques-
toned title Of right. The message also al
ludes to the imminent peril the country has
escaped through the adoption of the act
The document further declares that the
president of the senate had in no instance
exercised the power OF deciding disputed
returns in such case as this, where
the result is involved in doubt it is the
. duty of the law making power to provide
in advance lawful mode of settling dith

DrThe dance at Tinms Hall, on Fri

personal security to pay. This, however,
the magistrate refused to do but allowed
him 80 days to pay the fine provided good
security was given. Suiter started to Rock

do so. He was placed in Jail and remains
there until he can pay his fine or give good

Art Thou Living Yet p
BY JAMES G. CLARK,

Is there no grand immortal sphere
Beyond this realm of broken ties.
TO fill the wants that mock us here,
And drive the tears from weeping eyes;
W here winter meltS in endless spring.
And June stands near with deathleSS flowers
W here we may hear the dear ones sing
Who loved us in this world of ours
! ask. and 10! my cheeks are wet
With tears for one cannot see:
Oh. mother. art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me?
feel thy kisses DER NE thrill,
Thou unseen angel of my life:
| hear thy HYMNS around me tril.
An undertone to care and strife.
Thy tender eyes upon me shine,
As from being glortied,
I'LL | am thine and thou art mine
And | forget that thou hast died.
| almost lose each vain regret.
In visions of a life to be:
But. mother art thou living vet.
And doeSt thou still remember me?
The springtimes bloom, the summers fade.
The winters blow along my way;
But over every light or shade
Thy memory lives by night and day
1t soothes to sleep my widest pain,
Like some sweet song that cannot die,
And, like the murmur of the main,
Grows deeper when the storm is nigh.
| know the brightest stars that set
Return to bless the yeaning sea
But, mother, art thou living yet.
And dost thou still remember me !
| sometimes think thy soul comes back
From DER the dark and silent stream.
Where last we watched thy shining track,
TO those green hills Of which We dream:
Thy loving arms around me Irvine.
My cheeks bloom younger in thy breath,
Till thou art mine and am thine.
Without thought or pain of death
And yet. at times, my eyes are wet
With tears for her cannot see
Oh mother, art thou living yet,
And dost thou still remember me
