Tho swelling buia were sweet and laif'
For Spring was wide awake,
And gentls breezes coyiy kissed
The blue and dlmpled lake.

And soft his mistress turns on me
Her eyes of liquid light,

And answers yes" Then on we ny

On Sunday he'd search the straight

He sang like bird, and his sweet

THE SLOPE CANDIDATE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-Congressman
Page, of California, backed by other Cali
fornia republicans, will make fight
against Director of Mint Burchard, with a
view of having him removed. Page and
others some time ago attempted to have
Lagrange, Superintendent of the San Fran
cisco mint, removed. An investigation
ensued, but Burchard supported Lagrange,
and he was sustained. Page now claims
the investigation was whitewashing af-
fair, and Burchard managed it to suit La
grange.
Frank Cicott, formerly coiner, of the
San Francisco mint, and who was removed
by Burchard, is here with Page, and is fur
nishing testimony, on which Page bases
his attack on Burchard.
The New York Times to-day publishes
Tyner's report on the Star route service. a
synopsis of which was given Monday night
in the Western Associated Press dispatches.
1t was upon this report and its suppress
sion, that James was removed. 1t is now
said that Tyner claims to have submitted
the report to Postmaster General Key, and
that he suppressed it at Keys request.

HOUSE ORGANIZATION.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-The speakership
of the House is as much a matter of pure
speculation as the Presidents cabinet. Not
less than a dozen have pretentions and
hopes, including Butterworth, Calkins,
Davis, ILL.,, Horr, Hauk, McCook and
others. Hauk thinks that southern repub-
icans deserve recognition in the speaker
ship. with view of building them up,
The element of doubt as to- the control of
the next House multiplies candidates, each
thinking he can command some special
strength which the others cannot. To
secure organization the republicans
must elect three out of four congressman
in New York next month. But contingen-
cies favor the republicans who are likely
to organize the House. Brum1n of Penn
sylvania, has become an enthusiastic green
hacker, and viii support the greehack can
didate for speaker. Lee >Grandnn says,
every gresnbacker including Hyatt Smith,
will stand by the greenback candidate
The re-adjusters will be governed by the
result in Virginia next month, but it is
generally conceded the excellent discipline
of the republicans will win in the end. 1t
is not known how the ad-
ministration regards the various
candidates Hiscock has probably
forfeited its support by deserting the stall
warts in the New York State Convention,
leaving half breeds the victory. Some wei
informed believe the president will favor
western man as being popular thing to
do If so probably Kasson from the stall
wart republicans of iowa win yet get the
good opinion of the administration
