loss AND GALS.
By EnEL1NE sHERxAs SMITH.

Do not count. when day is DER,
Daily loss from life's rich store;
But the gains, however small,
Count them duly, one and all.
Every sweet and gracious word,
Every pleasant truth you've heard;
Every tender glance and tone,
Every kindly deed you've known;
Every duty nObly done,
Every riRhtful victory won
Treasure all, and count them DER.
As . miser counts his store.
But if bitter word OF thought
Have q bitter harvest brought;
If some fOeman has assailed you,
Or the friend most trusted failed you
If unkindness and untruth
Have to You brought saddest ruth,
Blot the score without delay
Keep no record of the day.
Keep no record of the care,
Ions and cross we all must bear;
On the page Of memory write
Only what is fair and bright,
Let all evil things 60 by;
Still, with brave endeav0r, try
Simple joys to multiply.
Thus you'll learn how large . sum
Will with faithful reckoning come.
Long rs after cloud or rain
Blessed sunshine smiles again,
Long as after winters gloom
summer roses bud and bloom,
Long as we have with Us here
One sad heart that we may cheer.
org a. love gilds sorrows cross
Life's rich gain o'erpays the loss.

Rnrnrd,s Dover speech.

We published yesterday Mr.. Bayard's
Dover speech, about which so much has
been said recently. 1t isn't a speech
Of which Mr.. Bayard has any reason to be
ashamed. There is nothing dislOyal in it.
Had the war terminated differently 1t
would be referred 10 as a great speech by
those who now comment on it unfavora-
bly,. Years after the speech was deliv-
cred Mr.. Bayard, in the Senate OF the
United States, declared that he had never
uttered a disloyal word or committed a
dislOyal act. Nobody doubts that he
spoke the truth. The Dover speech was
not in harmony with the prevailing senti-
ment Of the North, and its author was,
therefore, condemned.
At the time Mr.. Bayard was
only 30 years Of age, and he spoke in de-
tense Of his father, who was then in the
Senate. and whose resignation the aboli-
tionists were demanding. He could not
sanction the war policy of the Lincoln
administration, because il was against
the teachings OF his whole life. He did
not see the future as clearly as many
others saw it, but it must be admitted
that he saw some things with an almost
prophetic eve. In the beginning OF the
war there were many far more eminent
than Mr.. Bayard at that time was, who
condemned the LINCOLN war policy, but
whose loyalty to the government has never
been questioned. The Republican nominee
for Vice President is said to have
been on the point Of raising regiment to
Join the Southern side. If Mr.. Bayard
should be the Democratic nominee for
President his Dover speech could not be
used to his injury. He did not draw his
sword in the war, but no advantage foI
the Republican candidate could be
claimed on that point.

AN INTERESTING EXHIBIT.
The Economical Way in Which tn
Affairs of Washington County ar
Run,

The Economical Way in Which the
Affairs of Washington County are
Run.
SAVANNAH, GA, June 16.-Editor Morn.
ina NeloS: In 1880 the tax rate for coun-
ty purposes of Washington county was
eighty cents per 500, producing so, 45O
Notwithstanding this heavy levy, when
Mr.. Mark Newman became Ordinary, in
January, 1881, the county was still in
debt $4,S12. He Immediately reduced the
rate to seventy cents, producing $l9,S8S,
with which he cleared off the entire debt
during that year and had a surplus OF
81, 256. In 1882 he lowered the rate to fifty
cents, realizing $l4,047, and a surplus of
81. 607.
In 1888 he assessed 40 cents, produc-
ing $11,777, and a surplus of 1882.
In 1884 he has assessed 80 cents, and
expects to realize $10,344.
This has been done without sacrificing
the best interests of the county. On
every side one can see evidences of atten-
ton and care. County roads and bridges
are in tiEe condition, the poor house is a
model of cleanliness, and even of thrift,
and the offices of the Ordinary and Supe-
rior Court have been provided with vaults,
burglar and fire-proof.
Now, Mr.. Editor, this achievement of
Mr.. Newman is the result Of system, care
full attention and wise economy. 1t can
be repeated in every county in the State
by the selection of systematic business
men for the management of county bust
ness, and would save a public expendi-
ture of not less than a million dollars per
annum in the State. Our own levy for
county purposes in this county is only 80
cents per 500, and it seems probable we
are doing reasonably well, but if the tax
payers of the counties have any doubts as
to their good or bad management, let them
study the affairs of Washington county.

Dana's Boom.

The editor Of the Philadelphia Times
has complicated the situation in New
York somewhat by suggesting Charles
A. Dana. Of the New York Sun, for Presi-
dent. IF" says the Philadelphia edi-
tor. New York won't unite on Cleveland,
and it can't unite on Flower, why not
present Charles A. Dana? He Is the
ablest statesman Of either party in the
Empire state, and his stubborn honesty
and unfiagging economy would be testi-
fed by the pronounced opposition feyery
public thief and prohigate in the land"
If Mr.. Dana should happen to be nomi-
mated and elected he could not do less
than give Mcclure a Cabinet position, ap-
point him Minister to England or make
him Postmaster of Philadelphia. 1t will
be interesting to see what Mr.. Dana Will
do with this little boom that has been
started for him. viii he nurse it or will
he take pity on it and proceed to
mt il out of the way
before it shrivels and dies for want Of ap-
probation? He could gain some credit,
perhaps, by burying it in the little grave
ward where he has laid to rest so many
Presidential bOOms. 1t is hardly probable
that he will write letter to the Chairman
OF the State Democratic Executive Com
mittee setting forth his reasons why his
little boom should not live, but he might
end the whole business by giving it its
deatb-bIow in one of his trenchant para
graphs. 1t wouldn't take much to kill it.
In fact, it doesn't take much to kill any
of the booms which the Philadelphia editor
starts.
