LIFE'S QUIET WAY.


I clip high-climbing thoughts,
The wings of swelling pride;
Their fate is worst that from the height
Ofgreater honor slide.
Silk sails of largest size
The storm doth soonest tear;
Ibear so low and small sail
AS freeth me from fear.
I Urestle not with rage
While fury's fame doth burn;
It is In vain to stop the stream
Until the tide doth turn.
But when the fame is out,
And e5biug wrath doth end,
I turn late erraged foe
Into quiet friend.
And, taught with often proof.
A tempered calm find
To be most solace TO itself,
Best cure for angry mind.
South we'll.

st. Louis, May 4.-The situation in
East st. Louis is becoming more and
more critical, and unless the river
ceases to rise, OF which there is no i'm.
mediate hope, the entire city will be
submerged Everything possible is be-
ing done to prevent this, by strength
ening aud elevating the dykes and rail
road embankments, but these have
been surrounded by water SO long that
they are more or less soaked. and the
pressure is so great in places, there be-
ing from ten to thirty feet of water
bearing against them, that the proba-
bilities are that there will be several, If
not numerous breaks, and that the
whole city will be submerged.
A break is already reported in the
Ohio and Mississippi embankment,
about a mile north of the relay depot
and the Vandalia track is flooded for
some distance. Many people have
already left East st. Louis and others
have moved themselves and household
effects to the upper stories of their
dwellings, while some of the merchants
are moving their goods to this city. and
others piling them upon high shelves or
storing them on the second floor. Sew
eral railroads have taken their movea-
BILE property from their yards ON the
island, and some have declined to re-
ceive any more freight.

MILITARY MATTERS.

Co.'S Z and L were the strongest at
Fort Russell, hence they were detailed
for the White river campaign.
Four companies of the 4th cavalry
are on their way from the Uncompah-
gre to White river.
The platform club held special
meeting yesterday afternoon and acted
upon the resignation of President
Vroom, which was accepted with re-
grets. Capt. J. F. Simpson, Sd cavalry,
was then unanimously elected to serve
during the present term of six months.
When all the troops arrive at White
river that have been ordered there, the
force will amount to five companies of
the 9th infantry under Col. Moore; five
companies Of the Sd cavalry, and four
companies of the 4th cavalry, com.
manded by Col. Van Vliet, under
Col. Moore. This will make about 6OO
men in all, force sufficient to compel
the Utes to move if they refuse to move
peaceably.
Major P. d. Vroom, Sd cavalry, de.
parted for Trenton, N. j.. ON siz
months leave. The majors many
friends here wish him a pleasant stay
and one that will continue during the
entire period of his leave, for, in case
of Indian hostilities, the gallant major
would at once rejoin his company in
Colorado. The platform club shall
meet and they shall miss him, but his
vacant chair will be filled during his
absence.

New Orleans, May 4.-The Picay,tne,
usually considered authority on Mexi-
han affairs, anticipates trouble from
the enormous subsidies which her pres
ent rulers are granting railway and
other schemes, it being utterly impos-
sible that she can meet the heavy drain
on her treasury and resources, or that
the people will remain quiet under the
strain. At the lowest calculation, a
hundred million dollars of subsidy are
already granted to railways, the Gould
line from Laredo to the City Mexico
alone taking 100000 cut of the
treasury within the next two years.
Other subsidies swell the amount to
seventy-five or eighty million, earned
before 1888. Where the money is to
come from, with-an average annual in
come of but $40, 600, 900 to meet s24,-
600, 900 average annual expenditure for
the ordinary expenses of government,
is problem which it is morally certain
will speedily occupy the attention OF
statesmen, economists and politicians
on both sides of the Rio Grande.
The masses are already apparently
growing suspicious and fear the en-.
croachments of northern capitalists.
When the millions and tens of millions
of money are drawn out Of the country
to help pay for these improvements, the
administration which favors these
schemes will doubtless find powerful.
party arrayed against it. The United
States will be called upon to protect its
citizens in their contracts and preserve
their property from destruction, and
conquest will be likely to follow. Bank
ruptcy or enormous taxation is newt
able il the subsidies are to be met. II
either case it is morally certain that W.
shall have recurrence of popular dis
content that will need but littl,
prompting to run into revolution.

THE LONG AGONY OVER.


ieAn Back down.
Washington, May Az m--The
senate has just gone into executive
session. The motion was made by
Dawes, who, in making it, repudiated
the idea that by SO doing he and his as
sociaties were giving up the fight over
the senate Offices; which will be consid-
cred in its scope and character as pre-
senting the question of great impor-
tance to the future welfare of the gov
ernment. involving the right of the
majority to rule.
Pendleton asked Dawes to withdraw
that motion for few moments, which
Dawes courteously refused to do.
Beck suggested to Pendleton that it
would be indecorious for him to disturb
the funeral Riddleberger and
Gorham were dead.
Dawes said he trusted that this was
the funeral of the assertion by Senator
Beck that the senate itself should never
pass its own work.
Dawes motion was then agreed to;
yeas SO, nays none.
When the doors reopened the senate
adjourned.

They Must Fight For II.

New York, May 4.-The Sun says:
The ship load of American emigrants
who were recently reported to be pre-
pairing to join the proposed American
colony in the Mexican state Of Sonora,
will be interested in hearing that the
land grants on which they propose to
settle are occupied by Indians of pow
erful physical build. brave and warlike
temper. and resolute disposition to hold
their domain by force Of arms, IL neces-
sary, against all comers.
The Mexican government, in grant
ing fifty leagues Of fruitful territory to
two residents of California, Samuel
Brennan and Manuel Castro, partly in
liquidation Of claim and partly for
the purpose of founding a colony, did
not grant possession of the territory as
well, for the very good reason that it
never had it and is not likely to get it
for some time to come.
Sonora is beautiful, rich and fer
tile territory, but whoever proposes to
settle it must fight for his existence,
and is pretty sure to have his hands
full.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The president does not intend max
ing any contest for Robertson's confr-
nation. but he is desirous Of having it

friends in the senate will bring it up.
The October term of the supreme
court adjourned to Monday. The num-
Der of cases now remaining on the
docket undisposed Of are S37, an in
crease Of 46 since the close of the pre-
vious October term
President Garfield being invited by
the centennial commission to accompany
them to Yorktown tomorrow on the
government steamer, expressed great
regret that he would be obliged to de-
cline the invitation. As tho senate
had now resumed the transaction Of
business he did not feel at liberty to
leave Washington at present.
The counsel for the international
bank of Chicago has returned to the
city for the purpose Of further arguing
the question Of the delinquency Of the
taxes to the government, charged by
the commissioner of internal revenue
1t appears that other banks, not ma
tional, arc similarly indebted to the
government for excluding clearing
house checks from taxation.
Washington, May 4.-The discussion
in the senate executive session, to-day
on the Chinese treaty assures its ratifl-
cation by large majority. The treaty

Requesting the Peasant Not 10 swear
Allegiance.

Berlin, May 4.-There is much agita-
tion in the Baltic provinces of Russia
among the peasants, who desire abso-
lutte ownership of the land, now held on
lease. The Lutheran pastors in many
parts of Esthland have refused to ad-
minister the oath of allegiance to the
czar, or did so with manifest reluctance.
The local press freely expresses the
opinioDthat the government is incapa-
BILE OF contributing to the prosperity of
the country, and regrets that the for
mer advocates of separation have left
no worthy successor.
Handbills have been distributed at
Dorpat, calling upon the inhabitants of
the Baltic provinces not to swear alle-
gience until the car has granted them
laws and land rights equal to those
possessed by the Russian people. 1t
urges the people to remain united, but
to refrain from open rebellion.
A manifesto which was circulated at
Vindare court says: "Let the people
refuse to swear allegiance to the czar
before the Russian officials. We can.
not longer be deceived like dogs. We
must remain firm. We despise and
denounce the nobility, that they may
disappear from Esthland like snow ir
the spring. Whoever tears down thi.
