EPIDEMIC MONEY.
a Sad LoUe Scene.

From "Whoa Emma" by Murat Halstead.
"You do not love me-" said the girl
speaking slowly, COR you could not speak
so cruelty. On this beautiful night, when
the hills are suffused with amber haze
through which the stars glow and throh
in silent splendor, we should think OF
naught but love-pure, -passionless love,
that will bind our hearts together in a
chain whose every link shall be a kiss;
whose every fold sweet caress."
For an instant the man did not reply
Then the girl stretched forth to him heI
bare white arms that glIstened like mar
BILE in the growing dusk, but he needed
them not
"Will you not speak to me, sweet
heart 2" she said, an infinite pathos in the
words.
No answer came. Again the out
stretched arms pleaded mutely and with
pitiful eloquenCe for the joy that was
never to be. Looking at her with a
naughty, almost Vice President Davis
expression on his face, Bcrtram again
said: "Back, say"
With despaiIing CLEAN III her dark
some eyes, Girofie turned away and began
to sob as if her corset would break. "God
help me-" she said, in despairing accents,
81 cannot back"
"Why nOt!" asked Bertram.
Because" was the reply in tear
stained tones, "my polonaise is too eter-
nally tight"

DOOMED TO FAILURE.

Congressman Reagan has made stub-
born fight for his interstate commerce
bill. 1t has not been exactly a hobby
with him, but it has been his pet meas
! ure for several years In measure it
/ mas become identified with his prestige
as member of congress. Based on such
sound principles as It Is, and urged as
lnlelligenuy and iudustriously as It has
been, the measure deserved success.
But indications are not lacking that Air
Reagan viii fail to convert his bill into
a law. Session after session Of
congress has daLied with it and there
are stable signs that this session is going
to -ive it The -o-by. It can be definitely
stated that rot alone a majority OF the
house, but even the commerce commit

latter fact VIII probably seal its fate,
and If Mr. Reagan should succeed in
getting a vote on it (Which Is very doubt
fuD there is 10 reason to expect any
thing else than it win he defeated. 1t is
hardly worth while to discuss the why's
and wlerefores Of TINS reasonably Ger

so than is night or healthy. Mr., Reagan
has also encountered opposition in quar-

found that he had to combat western

fee it to say that his particular measure
seems doomed. It may be remarked, |
however, that Mr.. Beagdn's efforts viii |
not.prove wholly il vain. His persistent |

only attracted bnt moulded public !
opinion IA regards interstate commerce. !
There viii assIue3ly be some legislation |
on the subject and while it may not be of /
that thorough, sweeping nature cOntem- /
plated by Mr.. heagau's bill, it will yet !
afford some relief from the dangers that /

country. Perhaps what is known as the

by Charles Francis Adams, and approved
by Senator Thurman, Judge Cooley and

At Ill events the country viii hope for

AN APOLOGY TO ARTHUR.

st. Louis Republican; Hoar yesterday
sought one or two senatorial friends, and
the burden of his grievance was not
only that senators had betrayed the con.
fdences of the secret session, but, also
that such betrayal would mako it bad foI
him hereafter at the White House. He
had indirectly, at least, attacked the
president for making an outrageous
appointment, AID had also made a
vindictive personal attack upon the
presidents warmest friends Hoar and
his friends knew no way out but that
which d personal explanation to the
president offered, and much to the
Massachusetts senator's disgust he swal-
lowed his pride and went to the White
House.
