Here is q balmy little thing
To Ill your heart with Joy:
But as 1t is song OF spring
send 1t by boy.
THE POEM,
The vine on the cot is blowing,
The nest is built In the tree,
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms in the fragrant lea,
The bird to his mate is singing.
The lambkin skips on the hill,
And the rosy clover's springing
Beside the gurgling rill
Sir strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the boy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.
Above the lake in the hollow
That mirrors a cloudless sky
Is darting the airy swallow
And the purple dragon-fiy.
The bumble-bee in the garden
Runs riot the llvelong day.
And Maud In her Dolly Warden
Plucks flowers along the way.
Sir strephon his love is siehing.
The cricket begins 10 chirp,
And the hoy in the back yards tying
The can to the brindled purp.

TO The Edit0r Of The EgenlnD Critic:
This city, like hundreds OF other cities and
towns on rapid rivers, is In danger OF flood
and Ice gorge within the next month or two.
The Signal Omco has one paid agent up tho
river 10 telegraph coming floods, while the
only means 10 make this Information generally
known Is the newspapers. But suppose the
telegram OF a coming flood ia received Just
after the papers are published, the 1Dod would
be upon the city before another Issue. On the
contrary, II a cannon were fred at the Arsenal
three times, at intervals of ten minutes, as q
Hood signal, and repeated every two or three
hours while the river was rleing, this warning
would be Instant and general, not only In the
city, but for fifteen or twenty miles above and
below, giving merchants and others ample
time TO prepare, by which largo amounts OF
property and perhaps some lives, would be
saved. And this same plan could be adopted
with success al all principal towns on rapid
rivers. VIII the Secretary OF War see that thls
Is done In this city, 10 be followed by many 9TH
ers?
The Signal Office has for 13 years utterly
ignored any attempt to give warning OF these
sudden hoods on rapid rivers, by which man y
millions In stock and other movable property,
with thousands OF lives, might have been
saved. And now after 10 years the Signal
ONCE admits In recent publication that the
bd7MeTS' BuHetins, sent to most postonlces,
OF which II has boosted so greatly, arc OF little
or no value, and 1t proposes the telo-
graph, with flags as storm signals, to be
hoisted at all cities and principal towns to
cost S750,000 annually for the whole country.
But oven II the kilograms OF coming storms
were correct In even only half the instances as
now, yet such flag signals could not be seen
by more than 10 farmers In 1000 throughout
u county. However, If kilograms OF coming
storms were sent In advance by all telegraph
station agents, and cannon were fired at
each city, county ty-seat and principal town, tho
warning would bo certain, instant ana

tornadoes, with all rain-storms, which would

IN view of the existing style of doing
things here it becomes a serious question
whether the Federal Government is any
thing but huge National soup-house for the
maintenance of the pauper kin of official
grabsters. With few exceptions the men
whom the votes Of misguided people
have put into positions of honor use their
places only to make or find other places for
their relatives. Nearly every Congressman
and Cabinet officer spends the time which
the people pay them for in hunting up
profitable holes in which to stick their
brothers, sons and cousins Clerkships are
filled in many instances by those whose
only qualification is relationship to one Of
the official traflickers in a peoples conf
dence. Secretaryships of committees, De-
partment clerkships, Printing and Treasury
Bureau places, all sorts of sinecures are
filed with relatives. Within the last few
weeks Senators and Representatives have
pensioned scores of their relatives on the
country. The pockets of the people are
rilied to pay the unearned wages of an
army of applicants who have no claim OK
cept being Of kin TO some official. One
Cabinet officer has son quartered on the
people of great Territory. Another mem
ber of the Cabinet has a brother pensioned
ON another Territory that has suffered
much at the hands of its dishonest officials.
Washington swarms with these sons, broth
ers, nephews and cousins drawing salaries
out of the peoples money for doing nothing
or for grossly failing even to try to do any
duty. IL is time the people of the country
should rise up and demand that when they
put man in high Office he shall cease to
use 1t only as means of finding chances
to pension his hungry relatives. 1t is time
that the people should demand and enforce
the demand that no man shall bo appointed
to any office except on the ground of his
fitness ort. 1t is time that the nepotism

out nt once, for the evil Is growing all tne
time.
THE Baltimore & Ohio Railway En-
ployes' Relief Association makes q splendid
showing for the last fiscal year. Total re-
ceipts $33s,779.01 Total disbursements
5000, 2,Os6.7G, with outstanding claims of
ss5,966.70. Leaving net balance Of
$50,726.36.
The report shows the money has been
wisely expended.
But the great feature Of the report is the
fact that it shows tho hearty cooperation
of tho railway company in all the efforts Of
the association. Mr.. Robert Garrett, presi-
dent of the railroad, was present and
spoke at length, and developed advanced
ideas upon the. question Of the relation of
capital and labor. An epitome Of his re-
marks comes by telegraph He said that
The management of tho association had sue.
ceeded In building up the greatest benevolent
railway institution that exists In this or per-
haps any country. He believed the company
had proflted by an increased efficiency Of Its
old employees, who were anxious TO enjoy the
benefltS-its comforts--and also through the
better physical and mental condition OF those
newly entering the service under the careful
medical examination inauguratod by the as
tional features, such as approximation, free
library, increased hospital facilities, and
eanitarium which wero contemplated, an be
added, the usefulness. OF this association
would bo greatly enhanced. In any pro-
gramme for new features, increased educa-
tional facilities should receive encourage
mcnt.
Tho Baltimore 4 Ohio, which built the flrst
railroad in the United States, over whose lines
the telegraph was first practically operated,
and which has been foremost In great many
matters OF Importance to the country, has been
foremost in the establishment OF society
which, II carried out to It's legitimate end, Will
do more TO bring about tho proper relations
between capital and labor than all the bills
which can be recommended By Governors or
passed by Legislatures.
Ho felt sure that those prominent 10 the
management of the company are very earnest
10 promote the interests OF the men In overy
practical way, and he hoped TO see the day
when every man In the service would havo q
roof OF his own over his head, whom thoy will
have pecuniary interests In the vast property
OF tho company, and when the men who run
and operate the machinery and all others hav-
ing steady employment will be identified with
and be part owners OF the Baltimore Ohio
COmpany.

A GENTLEMAN just from Portugal states
that in 2,s02 samples Of wine recently tested
by the municipal board in Paris but %
were found to be pure, the remainder being
adulterated. Each autumn the French
wine agents are sent over Portugal and
buy up the new vintage, which is shipped
to France and there "doctored up" to be
expMted abroad.
If examining boards such as the French
board were stationed in Boston, New York,
New Orleans, Savannah, Charleston, Mobile,
Galveston, Baltimore and Philadelphia, it
is thought that nearly the entire import of
French and German wines would be con-
demned. Try it, and see how quickly the
objections to the United States hog would
be removed.
