Take this rose. and very gently place it OF
the tender, deep
Mosses where our little darling AralueE
lies asleep;
Put the blossoms close to baby-kneel
with me, my love and pray;
We must leave the bird we've buried say
goodbye to her to-day.
In the shadow. of our trouble we must gC
TO other lands.
And the flowers we have fostsred will be
left to other hands;
Other eyes will watch them growing
other feet viii softly tread
Where two hearts are nearly breaking,
where so many tears are shed.
Bitter is the world we live in lite and
love are mixed with pain
We will never see the daisies-never
water them again
Ahl the saddest thought in leaving baby
in this bush alone
Is that we have not been able on hei
grave to place stone!
We have been too poor to do it; but, my
darling never mind,
God is In the gracious heavens, and Hi
sun aud rain are kind,
They will dress the tspot with beauty
they win make the grasses grow;
Many winds will lull our birdie many
songs viii come and go.
Here the blue-eyed Spring will linger
here the shining month viii stay
Like u friend by Arsluen, when we to,
are far away,
But, beyond the wild-wide waters, we vii
tread another shore;
We will neYer watch this blossom, novel
see it any more.
Girl, whose hard at Gods high altar in til,
dear dead year pressed,
Lean your stricken head upon me, this i
still your lovers breast;
She who sleeps was first aud sweetest
none we have to take her place;
Empty is the little cradle, absent is tn,
little face.
Other children may be given, but thi
rose beyond recall,
But this garland of your girlhood will b
dearest Of them all.
None will ever. Araluen, nestle where 20,
used to be,
In my heart of hearts, you darling, wher
the world was new to me,
We were yourg when you were with us
life and love were happy things,
To your father and your mother, ere th,
angels gave you wings.
You that sit aud sob beside me-you upon
whose golden head
Many rains of many sorrows have from
day to day been she'd
Who, because your love was noble, faced
with me tho lot austere,
Ever pressing with its hsrdships on the
man of letters here
Let me feel that you are near me lay
your hand within mine own,
You are all have to live for, now that we
are left alone.
Three there were, but one has vanished,
Sins of mine have made you weep;
But forgive your baby's father, now that
baby is asleep.
Let us go, for night is falling-leave the
darling with her flowers;
Other hands will come and tend them
other friends In other hours.

The West Virginia state tax commission
suggests plan for making "invisiblo prop.
erty" bear its proper proportion Of the bur-
dens Of government which has tho merit Of
novelty. Experience has shown that even
good people will evade making full return
to the tax assessors ofther personal property,
and especially of tho valuable securities held
by them, such as promssory notes. bonds, and
stocks. Tho usual custom is TO furnish the
taxpayer with blank list, on which no Is
supposed to enter the number and value Of
his taxable securities, and, when tho law re-
quires it, he makes affidavit to tho accuracy
Of the schedules. 1t is a lamontablo fact that
these lists in the aggregate never represent tho
whole of tho "invisiblo" property owned in
the state or ooun ty-for whose use the taxes
are levied-although IL might DO difficult to
discover what particular citizen has made q
falso return. The West Virginia tax COM
mission proposes that the taxpayer be re-
quired to exhibit his securities TO tho
assessor, and that the assessor make memo
| ihhuuh bhSIoOui lAatON AOE 1901 UT WuhL-
ever year may bo covered by the assessment
1t Is further recommended that tho law
be so amended rs 10 prevent the
holder of any note OF bond from bringing in
o suit for the recovery Of the amount for
which 1t calls unless it bears this memoran-
dun, repeated each year from date. In cases
whore the note or bond or other taxable So.
curity is not in the actual possession of the
owner, tho assessor must give him momo-
randum setting forth that tho property has
been listed for taxation. Should suit be
brought to recover the money due on an y
written obligation not indorsed as having
been listed for taxation, the assessors memo
randum for each year must accompany the
instrument, or the action cannot be main
tanned. The effect OF such tax law would
simply be to relieve the maker of a note from
paying it unless the holder pays tho taxes.
There is clause in tho constitution Of
the United States which prohibits state
from passing any law impairing tho oblga
tiou of contracts. The courts would have
to determine the constitute tionality of such
a tax law.

In the report made to the senate yesterday
by Mr. Lapham, from the committee on
privileges and elections, on the bill to pro-
vide for the procurement OF ballot boxes for
use in federal elections tho committee say
that it seems to them that the inventive
genius Of the American people has furnished
means to guard against "the frauds so ex-
tensiyely practiced by which the will Of the
people fairly expressed is sought to be de-
teated."
They suggest that it is probable that the
local authorities in tho various states will in
timo provide for the use of some of these
inventions, and advise that the general gov
ernment shall provide for the use in con-
gressional elections of the boxes used in the
state elections.
In concluding tho report tho committee
say that frauds in these respects (the count
ing and registering of votes) are practiced
with impunity by election officers, has become
n recognized truth. TIE recent elections in
some states furnish striking instances. 1t is
believed that the laws of such states furnish
no adequate protection against the commission
of such frauds. Indeed ii would be difficult
to frame system of laws which would reach
every conceivable case in which such frauds
may DO practiced. Tho only remedy, il seems
to your committee, is to provide by the use OF
these inventions for mode of registering the
ballots as th0y are received and counting
them as registered, so as to cut off all
opportunity for the preparation of fraud"

WE are assured that the Cleveland "boom"
is growing In Washington. 1t is quito evi.
don't that il is not growing in New York.
Tho state conventions that are Fastening to
instruct their delegates to vote for him at
Chicago are proceeding npon theory which
may provo untenable. They assume that the
Cleveland mon were in majority in the
Saratoga convention, aud had It in their power
10 pass resolution naming him as the choice
of the state of New York for president but
for the sake of harmony, and out OF regard
for tho feelings Of the Tammany mon, re-
Trained from such action. The Tammany
men utterly scout any such assumption.
They say that n resolution naming Cleveland
for president was not presented simply be'
cause his friends knew that IL would be
voted down. 1t is still matter of dispute as
. 10. whether the delegation to Chicago will he
controlled by Gov. Cleyeland's friends or his
opponents. Tho Cleveland organs in New
York city are far from being satisfied with
tho situation. The wavo Of enthusiasm
which was expected to carry the reform
governor 10 tho front has not yet reached
New York, although it is said to be sweeping
over south Carolina aud Georgia. If his own
state refuses 10 present him for the presi-
dracy tho reform" democrats of South Car
o,lns and Georgia will find themselves in 4
rather lulicrous predicamont.

ANOTHER rich man is very seriously en-
barrassed for want of ready money. Com
modore G. X. Garrison two years ago was
estimated to be worth $i0,000,000. His
friends claim that he is now worth not less
than $lo,oOO,oOQ, Nevertheless he has allowed
his notes to go to protest, and has mado an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors.
Tho protested notes. which were the immo.
diate cause of the failure, only amount to
some 500, 900 or 100000, and were issued by
the Pittsburg, Cleveland, and Toledo Railroad
company, with Commodore Garrison and W..
c. Andrews, president of the company, as
indorsers. The commodore, however, has
other liabilities which are estimated al
$5,OOO,OOO. He is 80 years old and in feeble
health. This has been bad year for rich

OO,OoO-what His Attorney Says
About IL.
New YORK, juno 2o.--Commodoro G. X.
Garrison made an assignment this morning
to John t. Terry, of T. ID. Morgan s. Co. The
amount involved by tho failure is supposed
to be largo, probably about $5000,000. The
preferences amount TO $83l, 900. Tho assignee,
Mr. Terry, belongs to tho firm Of Il. ID. Morgan
& Co., and he said to-day that it was impossi-
BILE yet for him to state the figures The
fect on Wall was to still more unsettle
things though not to so great an extont as
was feared. II was said that Commodore
Garrison was not very largely interested in
stocks on the exchange, his fancy being for
gas stocks and outside specialtes.
Stocks fell off from one to three points, but
no failures were reported prominent
banker ON Broad street says: "The effect of
the failure, coming as it does now. will
naturally unsette things, and, in fact, stocks
cannot go any lower without hitting or hurt
| ing some one. l think tho failure rather q
| good thing than otherwise, for it will dis
| tribute a large amount of money among many
different people. Men like Mr.. Vanderbilt
and Mr.. Garrison do not stop at an accumula-
tion of two, three, or five millions, but they
run 1t up TO ten and twenty millions. This
is wrong, and tho distribution Of such large
amounts of money will benefit the people,"
1t was limited on Wall street that, should the
decision in tho Marie Garrison case be adverse
20 Mr.. Garrison the assignment made just a,
this time might cave him considerable future
| loss.
Melville G. Day. counsel for Mr.. Garrison
says: "The assignment is made because ol
financial embarrassment. twas forced upon
Mr.. Garrison by the protest of notes under
his Endorsement yesterday. He is O heavy
holder of securities, and so much of his wealtf
is tied up in these, which aro almost uDmar
ketable at present, that he could not meet hi
liabilities. He has a largo number Of Ohio
railroad securities which have shrunk II

and the value of which cannot be estimated

IT is not likely that there will be an extra
session of the Virginia legislature. The
nomination of Mr.. Blaine has taken away
from the republican "straightouts" all poss-
BILE excuse for cooperating with the bourbons.
Without tho assistance of some of the
"straightouts" ii will be impossible for the
bourbons to procure the necessary number of
signatures to the petition asking the governor
to call an extra session (two-thirds
of tho whole number of both houses),
and even should the session be called it would
be impossible to pass the obnoxious election
bill over the governors veto without the aid
of republican votes. Tho election will be
conducted under the existing law, and with
the assistance of United States supervisors in
places where fraud is apprehended 1t ought
to be reasonably fair aud free from intimida'
ton. Senator Malone thinks that Blaine

was addressed TO O'Donovan Rassa, the Nash

off the wrapper and disclosed what appeared
