How many of our readers remember that these
the vertabe hacyon days of the year The King
fisher. bird beloved of God. according to our fore
fathers lays her eggs on the sea- the 10th of De-
cembcr and for fourteen days calm prevails. The
sun warns her and the waves rock her, until the
young are Matched and take wing; when the storms
are let loose in renewed fury. Plato Socrates
themselves would have seen ship set sail in this
enchanted season with faith that it would reach It's
harbor safely. Old Probabilities gives Us different
reckoning of the weather just now, and takes
count OF the gods or birds. We are lucky, no doubt,
in having common sense and Old Probabilities.
Every clever school-boy knows more Of the condi
tons of the Universe and Of its Maker than did
Plato. But after all We have lost something there
are no birds beloved of God, upon the water, nova
days, and 40 Ilatos upon land; and who believes
in halcyon days or hopes for them

The vote on Mr. Allison's motion to 10y aside
the Silver resolution and take up the Silver
Bill may be interpreted as another test of the
strength of the party of silver imitation, but
the facts will not sustain the claim. While
the large body of those who opposed the
resolution were Silver men, and the vote
in its favor was, by coincidence, exactly
that which the honeSt-money men cast last
week, at least five of the honest-mOney voters
of last week voted yesterday not to lay the
resolution on the table, evidently believing
a resolution which accomplished nothing was
less harmful than bill, and there were Silver
men on the other side, Mr.. Allison, the spon-
sor of the Bland Bill, himself making the mo-
ton This was not test vote, though 1t Is to
be feared that its figures may represent the
relative strength of the two parties In the
Senate.

Whatever may be the final conclusion as to
the opinions of ex-President Smith, OF the
Reading Railroad, concerning the present
condition of that corporation, lie has
doubtless made an end, at any rate,
of the reputation of his successor,
Mr.. GOwen. That gentleman is a smart law
YER and in so far as shrewd legal
tactics could make him one, he has
been good railroad president In real
railroad and coal mining, however, lie
has been a gigantic failure. His greatest sue
cess was in wholly concealIng his floating DEBT
until he got it up to $S,00O,00O, and in the
meanwhile dividing seven times as much as he
earned.
