legislature for tho district, but so little timo
is set apart COR the consideration of district
bills that the people have good reason for
becoming impatient. In the very nature of
things it is difficult for SO large body to
lcgislate for a municipality, but as long as
congress insists on taking this work upon
itself tho people have right to demand that
it shall DO attended to. 1t is to DO hoped that

The walking Match.

From the result of the six days walking
match in Madison Square garden, New York,
it would seem that the limit Of human en-
durance had not yet boon reached. Two of
the men who took part in this contest beat
all the records that have ever been made by
pedestrians. Fitzgerald carried his score up
to 6l0 miles, and stands at the head of the
list. He is the champion pedestrian of the
whole world. Rowell made CO., miles, and
stands next to Fitzgerald. The greatest
score ever before recorded was made by
George Hazael in the same building in Feb.
ruary. 1882 who went Off the track at the
close of the sixth day with COOL miles to his
credit.
Fitzgerald won by logged endurance. On
Saturday his appearance excited the pity of
the spectators. He was utterly broken 'o"'n,
and sometimes out of his mind, but Iii
trudged around tho track until his score was
beyond the reach of Rowell, who had pressed
should any man put his physical power to
such q test? Beyond the commercial motive
for making money, what good can result
either to the contestants or to society from
such an overstraining of the human powers
The effect of such protracted struggle is to
destroy rather than to develop the faculties of
mind and body.
There certainly Is nothing in the spectacle
of half dozen weary mon trudging along
on saw dust track that ought to draw d
multitude of spectators, but such was the
popular interest in this painful contest thai
on the last day the price of admission wa'
raised from so cents to 81 in order to proven
the building from being oyercrowded. Thu
masses of men seem to have a natural low
for the peTilous they like to contemplate
something that pushes human pluck ant
human endurance to the very verge of disso
luton. The greater the danger to tho ath
lete, the greater the satisfaction afforded t.
the spectator,
The gambling instinct also comes largel!

New YORK, May 3.---prosidont Andrew
d. White of Cornell university, ono of the
delegates at-arge from New York, said to a
Sun reporter yesterday 81 have no personal
preferences as to presidential candidate. l
think that tho thing to be done Is TO find n
man who will carry out the principles of
civil service reform which have been begun.
During the war, and while the work of re-
construction was in progress, men wihkod,
as matter Of necessity aud policy, at certain
methods and practices. But the thing to be
done now is to carry into every branch OF
the government. including the consular SER
vice. tho principle that the business OF the
government and the appointment to office
should be separated from and taken out OF poll
tics, md the men should be required to do what
they are paid to do. The question 10 whether
the civil service shall DO taken out of politics.
1 believe that there arc men enough in the
country who wish matters Strengthened out to
make this issue successful. This, believe, Is
the important question, and am in favor of
any candidate who stands for these principles.
Whether Mr.. Blaine stands for this doctrine
remains to be seen, and also whether he could
carry this state"
The Ithaca Journal has announced that 1t
was authorized to say that President White
was not in sympathy with free trade. Being
asked If it was correct, he said:
1T is, perhaps, correct enough. When he
leaves college every man is generally n free
trader. Tho theory 10 undoubtedly correct,
But when man Games to look about him and
see the business interests of the country that
have been fostcred by protection he generally
modifes his theory"

into play at the walking match. Men like
to lay wagers on the strength and endurance
of cdcstrians just as they like to bet on the
speed of horses. This probably is the reason
that tho walking match retains its place
among sports. There certainly is nothing
entertaining in the spectacle, the associations
and surroundings are not elevating, but
there is an opportunity for making and losing
money, and this seems to be sufficient
reason for keeping up pedestrian contests.

In Memory Of Mrs, aason Hatchins.

My love has vanished, ull pleasure banished
From this cold world of grief and gloom,
And all the flowers of sweet love lit hours
Have faded DER her silent tomb.
What matters station or adulation
When all we loved Is lost from sight
And every morrow brings deeper SORROW
Searching sadly in eternal night?
For one who loved me when Fate reproved me
Through all the bitterness Of strife
Ny sweetest pleasure, my dearest treasure,
My only luyc-my faithful wife,
Yet thoughts come swelling, my lone heart telling
That llg beyond this lingering life,
