BARN SWALLOWS.


There's lash OF wings in the sunny heaven
Aud the cool bright air of moru
In the sweep of glossy plume is riven
With the bolt of noble scorn.
Our shouts OF welcome ring blithe and clear,
And the cchoing woods reply
With mocking glee TO the spring of the year,
As the prince OF the air skins by.
The robin hops round the open door,
For tho tid-bit he likes best,
And the sparrow over the yine-bouud porch
Is lining her dainty nest;
With u startling cry from her covert gone
The phmbc sobs and grieves,
And the thrush is siienced and made forlorn
by a rain on the budding leaves.
But the swallow comes In the sweet mid
spring,
And gladdens our waiting sight
With the delicate, stately curve of his wing
And his naughty, beautiful flight;
lie stvrps like king 10 the old barn-door
In the old. familiar way,
And his nest clings fast as II chung befoie
To the rafters bare and gray,
There's twittcr of love meath the dusty
caves,
Where the twilight fingers late.
And grooming ditty, as lovers use,
He Is wooing his tender mate;
There a whisper and stir where the silence
broods,
There's shadowy warmth most dear,
And we turn with look from the April woods,
For the swallows at last are herel

Democratic Duty and Republican Re.
W sp0nsibility.

1t is to be hoped, and indeed to be
assumed, that the Democrats of the
Senate before they act as a party and
as Senators on any pending nomina-
tons will decide upon certain general
rules OF action by which they will be
governed in dealing with all of Presi-
dent Garfeld's future nominations.
What would have been the Democrat
ic rule of action If the Democrats had
retained control of the Senator
What has been the Evolutionary policy
Of q Senate when in opposition to the
Executivep
Clearly the Government could not 90
on if Democratic Senate were to re-
ject the nominations of Republican
President for no other reason than that
the nominees are not Democrats. Can
Democrats vindicate any different pol
icy when they are in q minority, or
when through Republican dissensions a
Democratic minority holds the decisive
votesp At this moment the Executive
is Republican, and by the coalition be-
tween Republican Senators and the
debt-shirking Senator Malone the COM
mittees of the Senate have been organ
lied under Republican chairmen. The
Democratic Senators are in minority
on the committees and in the Senate.
When the nomination of Senator Rob
ertson comes up before the Committee
on Commerce what will be the duty of
the Democratic minority If nothing is
successfully alleged against the personal
character of Senator Robertson, and
against his fitness forthe Office to which
he has been nominated, and if the only
objection made to the confirmation is
that Senator Conkling and Sub-Senator
Plat. ono or both, were not consulted
by the President before making the
nomination? Are Democrats to aid in
making it arule that President cannot
nominate . man to the Senate for TN
Office without the permission of the
Senators OF the State in which the duties
of the Office are to be performed or from
which the nominee is taken? Will that
be wise precedent 8.
Democratic Senators will not fail first
to inquire what the Constitution saws.

stitutional power in this matter but to
