Now The Accepted Time.

Why mourn for the birds that have flown far awnyH
There are plentyin summers ahead;
Why care for the flowers that erewhile were gay?
Others bloom, Just as sweet, in their stead.
o. fair were the yesterdays bright were their hours
And precious their histories Ger;
Yet sing of the now, with It's largess Of powers,
The sunshine and joy at the door.
Though great were the heroes that suffered of old
And many the noble ones gone,
As true still remain with their story untold;
All hail to the heroes unborn!
Rejoice in the past with its memories sweet,
Rejoice In the present as well;
Some day with fond tears vel its story repeat.
Aud all its proud victories tell.
Then cherish the heart that faints In the strife
Kiss lips that now offer good cheer.
Be kind to the one who is nearest thy life,
The hand that now toileth, o sparel
Some day you may yearn for response to your touch
When the heart that now throbs will be cold;
Then lavish the sympathy needed SO much,
And whisper the love long untold.
Ah the present! Its page presses close to face,
And we miss the sweet lesson it reads;
All, the past 1t is far, and we study its grace,
And ponder its words and its deeds.
And yet they are one: We are clasping to-day
What tomorrow ell sigh for in vain;
Then gather the sunshine, rejoice in its ray,
And Danish the sorrow and pain.

THE defeat of the Morrison tariff bill
in the House yesterday answers every
practical purpose that its passage could
have done. The Democratic majority
can appeal to the country for verdict
upon the issue just as well as if the
matter had progressed to the Senate
chamber and there been slaughtered.
The discussion and vote upon the bill
show that the Republican party is solid
for high tariff and transfer future con-
sideration of tariff reform to the Nation
al Convention of the Democratic party.
What its fate will be there may or may
not be foreshadowed by the fact that
IS per cent. of the Democratic members
of Congress voted as the mass of the
people would have done on this ques-

The Strike at DelphOs.

The Delphos Herald, of Wednesday,
has the following to say concerning the
strike on the T., G. & st. L.:
The t., C. & st. l.. complications
still continue in an unsatisfactory con-
dition, though a settlement is looked for
at almost any moment. The failure to
pay the men on the first of the month
caused them to all quit work again and
the shops now lie idle. A Telegram
from Receiver Craig last Monday re-
quested that number of the business
men come to Toledo and have a consul
tation with him. In obedience to the
request, eleven of our business men hav-
ing the greatest interest in obtaining a
settlement, went to Toledo, Tuesday
morning, and were closeted with Mr..
Craig and other officials about five
hours. Mr.. Craig pointed out the eX-
act condition of the road and showed
them that at present, at least, no mon
ey could be paid. He is making all the
effort in his power to obtain money
either by borrowing or placing Re-
ceiver's checks on the market, and will
Just as soon as it can be obtained. The
discharge checks held by the business
men here will be sent to Toledo next
week. Receivers certificates, bearing in
terest at six per cent, will be issued for
all of them. The train and road men
are being paid from the receipts Of the
stations along the. line as fast as possible.
The employees and all concerned have
shown great forbearance in this matter,
as Mr.. Craig is bending all his ener-
gy to obtaining speedy settlement. We
may hope for good results soon.

IRELAND is about the size of the state
of Ohio and supports a population
so mething less than 5,5O0,OOO. Aside
from oppressive rents, which are little
less at this time than formerly, the
taxes levied upon the people are awful
to contem plate. Last year the British
government collected revenue in Ire
land amounting to SAL ,O00, 900, or nearly
So per head for all the men, women and
children. Of this vast sum only 5000
900 was expended in the maintenance
of law and justice, over $2O,OOO,0O0 be-
ing wasted upon the futile policy of
governing Ireland" with firm hand,
by means of the army, military police
and other despotic expedients, to an
extent and at an expense which find no
comparison in any other civilized
country. Is it any wonder that the
population has decreased 100000 in
the past IS years, or that the Irish feel
the same kind and degree of affection
for England that his satanic majesty is
supposed to entertain for concentrated
water?

Crossing the Atlantic.

Mr.. Pearce, the builder of the Alaska,
the Oregon and other fast steamers,
has proclaimed his belief that the voy-
age across the Atlantic will ere long be
accomplished in six days. But this is
as nothing compared with the hope
which a Leeds gentleman to
an astonished world. He promises
when he has built his ship-to carry
people from Liverpool to New York In
three days. This wonderful achieve
ment is to be brought about by his new
aqua-aerial or wave ship. The aqua
aerial ship is intended for express, mail
and passenger service, also for I'M
armored war ships for which great
speed is desirable. The wave ship is of
shallow draught when at rest, and when
set in motion its draught is to decrease
with the Increase of speed. Instead OF
blowing It's way shrough the water it is
to skim along or over the surface, there
by avoiding the chief cause of resist
ance to the progress of ordinary ships,
viz: Wave making. The resistance of
fered by che water to its s1ward course
is thus to be reduced to minimum, and
the power uselessly expended in wave
making and displacement of water by
vessels of the ordinary type is to be
wholly utilized in the increase of speed.
This is to be accomplished by making
the bottom Of the vessel a series of in
clined planes placed after the other.
Why not arrange to have the vessel
lift herself out of the water with the ex-
ception Of the heel of her rudder post
and let her skim along on that? The
voyage might then, perhaps, be ac-
compiished in q few hours.
