These are the seals OF that most firm assurance
Which bar the pit over distractions strength.
Ih:ie are the spells by which to rcassumo
An empire DER the dtsentangled doom.
To sufier woes which hops thinks infinite;
To forgive wrongs darker than death or night;
To defy power which seema omnipotent:
To love and boar; to hope, till hope creates
From It's own wreck the thing IL contenpln

HAYES FEARING INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, May 20 -At the
start Of bis Administration Hayes
feared inquiry. To avoid it be set
the Constitution at naught and re-
fused to call Congress for three
months and half. Hayes now
fears the result Of inquiry. He is
again anxious to have Congress away
from Washington. To secure its
first absence he put the Treasury to
the cost OF an army sustained con-
trary to law. To secure it's adjourn
ment now the Administration is
willing to open the Treasury to
every job. The plan is clear. The
Senate resolution providing for an
adjournment on June 10 comes be-
fore the House on Wednesday next.
If the resolution can DE passed two
things follow: the Appropriation
bill must be hastily passed, AMI
every job will have its separate
chance in the rapid rush Of business.
Neither the Sundry Civil nor the
General Deficiency bills-bills in
which any job can be inserted, and
in which many jobs always are
have not yet been introduced into
the House. II their discussion pro-
ceeds under the certainty that their
passage must be reached by June 10,
careful consideration will be impos-
sible. The other Appropriation
bills which block the way in all
stages, from a conference committee
report to their first consideration in
Committee of the Whole, must OF
necessity be taken up, considered
rapidly, and crowded through at all
hazards. More than all, in this rush
and hurry jobs flourish, and the time
Of adjournment being set so far in
advance, full advantage can be taken
of the elk days before the close OF a
session allowed by the rules within
which the rules can be suspended
and any job passed. These make
the passage of the Senate resolution
this week dangerous. They make
a combination in itg favor easy. To
secure Adjournment without regard
TO it's effect on the Treasury or nc
legislation, efforts have been made
to make this combination. There is
too much reason to fear that these
efforts have been successful. It is
the belief Of some prominent Dem =
ocrats that twenty votes have al
ready been secured through whom
this resolution can be passed. And
to the men interested IN Jobs and
those who live by careless legislation
some Southern Democrats who have
shared in the patronage Of the Ad-
ministratlon and now fear two things
first, that their patronage will be
taken away, and second, that its
bestowal will be made known-and
II is plain that it might be easy to
command more tina n twenty votes
