For The TRIBUNE.
LIFE.

Both few ard i'll the days of man,
Away they quickly pass,
Less than a hands breadth narrow space
All ilesh is like the grass.
God plants the flower when He thinks time
And plucks il any age.
0, why should people then repine
To cast away the stage:
Behold, my days are hast'ning on,
When troubles won't modest.
When shall say my time is come,
I've found place of rest.
No hurtful fruit nor tempting Eve
Is in that land of bliss.
Nor cunning serpent 10 deceive,
Turks in that Paradise.
NY dear Redeemer's gone before,
To plead my cause with God.
He sprinkles Justices fiery throne
With His own precious blood.
Why should we seek our treasure here
In this, such barren land.
Where pone but vanity appear
And grief on every hand!
Dear Savior, reach down thy hand
And take me up to Thee,
That near Thy presence | may stand
And all Thy glory see.
And praise the Father and the Son,
And spirit all divine.
One in three and three in one
Let Heaven and earth combine.

THE bribery business at Albany is
quite perplexing. Either Assembly
man Bradley or Senator Sessions is
q first class liar-the former swears
point black that the latter gave him
the money, and the latter swears
by all the gods at once that he did
not 10 it. Of course one or the
other statement is false. Which it
is must be left to future develop

his obstinacy that when the limb is

AN almost incredible romance has
happened in Wisconsin, and if it had
not been vouched for by so reliable
authority as the Racine Journal, it
would be rejected altogether. The
story, as the Journal tells it, is that
"a resident of Racine named John
son, who has roamed through this
world for about thirty-fve years,
having never met the choice of his
heart, was walking up Main street,
when he was met by buxom look
ing country girl and some friends.
He was not acquainted with the girl,
but introductioDs soon followed; she
blushed and he was confused, and
there was no getting around it, 1t
was case OF love at first sight.
They talked earnestly for half an
hour, the friends having departed
They soon parted with kiss, she
going north and be going south. In
the course of two hours both made
their appearance again on Main
street, dressed up in fine siy ,e. They
kissed again and she took his arm
and they walked of, and at , o'clock
thew were united in marriage. He
made her acquaintance, popped the
question, and married her inside OF
three hours

MIR. FREDERICK CoNKLING, who
is a big brother OF Lord Roscoe and
a Democrat, says that 100000 was
paid by the sugar combination for
suppressing Legislation hostile to
their interest in the last Congr ess
Mr.. Conkling must mean that the
money went to Democrats, because
the Democrats had majority of the.
Committee on Ways and Means, and
there would be no sense in buying
up the minority of the committee.
He says he saw the check after 1t
was drawn, and knows the bank
that cashed it, He has made some
of the Democratic survivors of that
committee somewhat uncomfortable.

Au.IucreaSed School Fund.

The Supreme Court of this state
has recently decided, in test case
brought against the Treasurer of
Rock county by the Atty. General,
that the amount of all fines and penal
ties for breaches of the penal laws Of
the state must be paid by the county
Treasurer TO the State Treasurer, for
the benefit Of the school fund, less
two per cent. fees fixed by Statute.
In other words, 50 per cent. Of all
fines and penalties collected must be
regarded under existing laws as the
clear proceeds of such fines, etc,
which the constitution devotes TO
the school fund. Four-fiiths of the
counties of the state, and especially
the wealthy and populous counties
like Rock, Milwaukee and Racine,
have substantially ignored this con-
stitutional provision for the last ten
years, and quite number of them
have made no report at all for this
period of time. There is probably
due the school fund from the differ
ent counties of the state under this
decision not less than one hundred
thousand dollars, which should have
been paid as it became due annually
from the different counties.
If the principles of this decision
are faithfully carried out it will re-
suit in an annual payment into the
school fund from ten to fifteen
thousand dollars. How far back
counties will be called to account
for past delinquences is at this writ
ing unknown, but probably steps
will soon be taken by the Attorney
General requiring counties to re-
spOnd In some manner for such
gross neglect Of duty. This action
was commenced under discouraging
auspices; majority of the state Off
GERS thought no possible good could
result, and that the action would
disturb the equanimity of County
Treasurers and be fruitess in it's re-
suits. While many large counties
have watched the progress of this
action with great interest, all will
agree that the school fund will be
increased.
This is another instance of the
care and attention which General
Wilson gives TO his official duties.
Not more than six months ago he
discovered that certain railroad cor.
porations had failed to report to the
State Treasurer according to law,
and when complete report was OBJ
tanned the state recovered $2O, 900
additional license fees. He has now
obtained from the Supreme Court a
decision which may put q large sum
into the school fund, besides increas-
ing an annual income to that fund
of from SO, 900 to $4,000.
Under this decision each County
Treasurer is requested to report
and pay annually to the State Treas
urer the "cear proceeds" Of all fines
and penalties collected by him.
