the first" II may be asked to what
purpose arc we to-day making these
deposits in tho corner stonoi Those
who erected the second temple asked
no such questions about their discov-
cries. Still il may be Of interest to
future generations TO record in this
way mementoes of tho men and
things of to-day. No authentic nc

We of to day believe this work is be-
ing well done, but we must not OK

because public virtue now, in the es-

largest capacity to criticism. Judi

of this right has become so prevalent
that even the most competent and
conscientious rarely escape the doubt

pecially if those who are given to tho
infection are invested with little
brief authority. TO such an extent
has this failing been carried that an
extremist once criticised the Almighty
Himself for planting the apple, and
thus giving Eve an opportunity to
lead her lord astray. But if we do
our duty rs wo understand it, wo need
have no fear of criticism, and the
grand work dedicated by tho impos-
ing demonstration of to-day will stand

energy of our age, and be as durable

steps for the formal withdrawal, No
body believes there is any idea Of re

before next winter The withdrawal
of the treaties will leave the Senate

The new cabinet is one of lawyers,
Bayard, Garland and Lamar were
conspicuous in the Senate in that

comes from the Massachusetts su,

WHATEVER Is, IS BEST.
from the Rambler.

/ know, rs my life grows older,
And mine eyes have clearer sight,
That under each rank Wrong, somewhere
There lies tho root Of Right,
That each sorrow has its purpose,
by the sorrowing oft unguessed,
But rs sure us the sun brings morning,
Whatever is, is best.
| know TINT eaoh sinful action,
As sure rs the night brings shade,
IL sometime, somewhere, punished,
Tho the hour he long delayed.
I know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts, unrest,
And to grow means often to suffer;
But whatever is, is best.
know there are no errors
In the great Eternal plan,
And all things work together
For the final good of man,
And know when my soul speeds onward
In tho grand, eternal quest,
l shall say, as look earthward,
Whatever is, is best.

Closing I'D the Gamblers.

LOUISVILLE, March 13.--A sensa-
ton was created here this afternoon
by the announcement that all gam
bling houses in the city had been
closed. Chief of police Whalen mott
fed all proprietors to close up or bo
arrested One and all quietly closed
up shop, and closed the games. Ma
ny expressed themselves glad to quit
the business.
Louisville has been the paradise of
gamblers for years, and the amount
of gambling indulged in prodigious.
Vigorous war on gambling has been
made recently, and closing is one of
the results.

Gladstone apparently is opposed to
extending the dominion of Great Bri-
tian, probably because he thinks that
to do 50 would prove source of
weakness rather than of strength.
While it is not probable that a revolt
will ever occur in all the British colo
MES ut one and the same time, il is
possible; and in such an event scat
tered as her colonies are and thous-
ands of miles distant from each other
they could become as free rs the
United States before sufficient troops
oould be transported to tho endan
gered points and the revolt quelled.
Not few English statesmen, (and
Gladstone may be among the num-
ber) believe the independence OF Aus.
tralia and Canada to be as inevitable
as that of the United States is assur-
ed, but do not desire to be officially
responsible for it in the slightest de-
gree. Ability to acquire territory
does not necessarily imply ability to
retain it, rs other nations than Eng
land have realized by sad expert
ence, and time may prove that Glad
general policy has been the
wisest, despite it's many seeming de-
fects.
