A protest comes up from nearly all parts of
the country against the construction of a pro
posed railway through FrancOnia or Profile
Notch, in New Hampshire. The objections
are Well taken. The great charms OF that
charming spot are its quietnesS and seclusiOn,
and the fact that it can only be reached now
by old-fashioned wagon roads. A railroad
would undoubtedly pOpularize the place; that
Is, II would enable many more people TO visit
1T than now do, but nobody would care to stay
once they got there. The Ioss is so narrow
that the railway can only be built at the sacri-
flee Of the carriage road and many fine points
Of view, and, besides, the whole spirit and
character of the locality would be changed
for the worse by the contemplated improve
ment."

There seems TO be good deal of confusion
and uncertainty, even in the minds of news
paper people, as to what is meant by the term
"a strong government which is Just now
coming into quite common use in this country
So clear head as that of the New York
Times, for instance, is led to say:
The truth is, that all The current talk with
regard 20 "a strong government deriving It's
strength from the election of this or that per-
son TO the Presidency, is either downright
nonsense or is as indefenSi6e as rebellion. As
the expression of belief that the government
acquires from the PreSiden Whatever strengt h
III possesses, II IS too foolish to be miSchiey-
GUS
:. This sounds well, but il would be worth
vastly more if there were not a good many
people still living who are able to remember
and compare the characters and adminiStra-
lions of Andrew Jackson and James Buch
anan. Does our contemporary believe, for
example, that il Buchanan had been in the
White House in JacksOn's time, the South
Carolina notification disturbance would have
been nipped in the bud as it was? Or that if
jackson had been President in 1850 the country
would have been drenched in blood for four
years afterward, as it was? 1t is the study of
these things that has set people to thinking and
talking about a strong government; and
whether it means Grant or not, il does mean
that there are great many people in the
United States who honestly believe that there
are forces of various kinds now at work which
will before very long require man in the
Presidential chair OF the JackSOnian rather
than the Buchanan type OF character. They
don't want anything but Republican form of
government; but at the same time they don't
intend that that form of government shall be
destroyed for want of man at its head Who is
strong enough to save it.

Germany holds her election for members of
the new parliament tomorrow In spite of
the impetus given to the administration cam
paign by the indignation aroused by the at
tempts on the life of the Emperor, it is be-
lieved that after the balloting the liberals will
still be found 10 outnumber the conservatives
and the bitter opposition, Seyerally, and to
hold the balance of power between them. The
part that the liberals play in checking the ex-
tremes of political opinion is useful one, and
the longer the government has to depend on
their votes TO carry through its measures the
better for the Empire.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1878-07-29

There is no reason why men should be com
PEELED to labor on government buildings at
starvation wages. If there is no other way of
stopping it, Congress should, in making ap-
propriations for public works, stipulate that
all contractors and sub contractors on said
works shall pay to their employees the same
wages paid by the government to workmen of
the same class in the same neighborhood. III
this principle was established it would be as
fair for one contractor as another, and greatly
benefit the workingmen. Cheapness is not
always economy.

whether the experiments on the elevated rold

The labOrs OF policemen, poundmen aud
disciples of Mr.. Bergh are all necessary at
this season to preserve the proper relations
between men and dogs. The call for the DAY.
ment OF a tax on such pets now sends many
OF them homeless into the city world. These
animals, becoming famished, dirty and dis.
eased, may be depended upon to develop
hydrophObia, if left alone. The system, then,
is wise one which imposes upon policemen
and pOundmen the duty OF preventing the
dangers that would naturally follow, by kill
ing such dogs. The greatest favor that can be
granted the unfortunate ours Is speedy death
IN as nearly painless form as possible Wien
person determines to give up dog rather
than pay the tax, the animal should be handed
over 10 policeman or pOundman. Otherwise
great cruelty may be committed. There has
come 10 our attention a case where the b)ys
OF family in fashionable part of the city
turned their dog into the streets He was
sometimes given mOrSeiS of food by
the neighbors, and slept where he might.
NO policeman or pOundman appeared
so the former owners hunted the dog with
pistol in an alley where he had taken refuge.
AS result Of the first nights sport the dog
was shot through the leg. This wound was
bandaged up by some sympathetic small bows.
The next night, after the living target had
been fired at some half dozen times 1t died iu
agony. Hunger, thirst and lingering, paiuful
death might have been spared the wretched
animal, If compassion We're not, apparently
lost virtue. Such cases will not occur often
Tor persons in the vicinity where he butchery
Is likely to take place will demand for their
own protection from stray pistol bullets that
these unskilled, unauthorized dog killers be
severely dealt with. Oar police force is small
and the pOundmen cannot be everywhere, but

In Prussia it is said the potato is cul-

stocks grow, the earth is heaped up, leav-

are thus greatly increased, while the pro-

The question has been raised whether
coin can not be sent in United States

such an arrangement the government
would have to pay only about one

that {" General Lees tomb is no longer

An ancient legend has it. that tyrant
of the east w-st forth to battle With the
Greeks. Gazing upon the mass of living
millions enlisted in his cause, the mon
arch's heart was melted. He wept, he
knew not why. The tears came not, as
he supposed, from any inference of re-
nection. They rose spontaneously as
they will at times amid the hustle OF a
crowded thoroughfare. Our own emo
tions are reflected back from other hearts.
We fell the thrill of spiritual contact,
the mighty presence of life. Such is the
pathos of the bible, the underlying ten
derness which makes the book of books
the book Of human nature; sounding
the depths of human sympathy, univer-
sal, indefnable, profound.
Poetry and psthos in the bible are
subordinate. It never controverts its
sacred office, nor makes effect purpose.
The tender and poetical are humble in
struments of men The child who
cannot comprehend the love divine is
melted as he hears from mother-lips the
sweet story of Him who was Himself
a babe at Bethlehem, who loved and
blessed the little children. The man
who, scarcely better than the child, can
know the wonders of the same mex
plicable love, is impressed by the sim
plicity and tenderness which mark that
strange, eventful life Howard P.

A Story for Some Singers.

Recently, at social gathering, Bishop
Harris was invited to sing. He declined
but told the following incident as illus
trative of his talent in that line: Dur.
ing his journey through Palestine, one
evening after he and Mr.. Spencer, who
occupied the tent with him, had gone to
bed, the bishop began humming a tune
of the olden time, called ''NeW Dur
ham," Mr.. Spencer Joined in, and the
two began singing verse of one of our
familiar hymns. Before the verse was
finished, a donkey just outside of the
tent brayed as emily a donkey in the
East can bray. While the hills of Judea
were sending lack the echoes of this
most extraordinary and untimely per-
formance of the donkey, the Arab drag
oman put his head inside the tent and
apologizing for his donkey, said: cha
you sing one tune he think he know" :.
