THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE.

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISE.
In proposing conference with the
representatives of John Roach, for the
purpose of talking over the situation
and trying to agree upon some business
like solution of existing troubles, Secre'
tary Whitney has done we'll.
He would have done much better,
however, if he had adopted this course
some weeks ago, before he had forced
Mr.. Roach to make an assignment,
thereby inaicting an irreparable wrong
upon an enterprising and patriotic cih'
zen, as we'll as upon the great ship
building interest so nobly represented
by Mr.. Roach, and upon the labor OF
the country.
But as it is better to be late in doing
right than to still persist in a wrong
course we accept Mr.. Whitney's implied
confession Of a mistake as an indication
of manly character.
1t is such an exhibition of correct
intention as promises much nearer ap'
proach to justice in his future dealing
with this subject than has hitherto been
manifested.

AcAREFuL examination Of the Revised
Statutes by number Of experts has not
resulted in the disclosure Of any pro.
vision of law which requires the Secrc-
tary of the Treasury to accept bid for
the construction of public building
unless, in his opinion, sound public pol
icy demands its acceptance. To accept
Il bid based on convict labor is, there
fore, equivalent to deliberate declara'
ton that public policy demands the
degradation of honest labor by competi'
ton with the scrvile labor of convicts.

these organs be honest enough to admit

APoLITICAL "REMINISCENCES

The pronounced antagonism Of the
Indiana Democracy to the civil service
law is, in n certain way, vindication Of
Mr.. Voorhees,.
When the so.called Pcndeton bill was
before the Senate it encountered Mr..
Voorhees, sturdy opposition. He be.
lieved and claimed that, in opposing the
measure, he was acting in good faith to
his supporters and friends, the Demo.
Gratis of his state. The Democratic rep.
resentatives from Indiana were under.
stood to be with him. 1t was stated and
believed that they had promised to vote
against the bill if it came up in the
House. But when the time for their OPP
position came they did not oppose, but
fell in with the majority.
1t is unnecessary to remark that Sena'
tor Voorhees, did not greatly enjoy the
desertion of his friends in the House.
Those who know the senator's frank
way Of speaking his mind will readily be-
lieve that he talked to the deserters with
good degree OF emphasis. He tolt
them, among other things, that he hat
been true and they had not been true tc
the Democrats behind them.
Time has shown that the Senator wal
right in his gauge Of Democratic senti
ment in his state. If there is one thinl
more detestable than any other to tht
average Indiana Democrat it is the civi
service law. They hold to the olC
maxim, ITO the victors belong thu
spoils," and any allusion to this law, fo
which their representatives voted, creates
a commotion something like that whicl
is produced by the display of red fla
in bull pen.

saw him stand by the beetling ledge
Which frowned from the gloomy hill,
And TRANQUILITY study the deep ravines
That yawned so dark and still
thought him poet, wandering far
In the depths of pensive dream,
So proudly he gazed at the towering bluff,
And the wild but sluggish stream.
1 thought him an artist, with perfect taste,
With pencil bold and true
Deeply intent on tracing down
The sweetly enchanting view;
An earnest stu lent in Botany's field
1 took this friend to be,
Who gazed at the plants. far up the ledge,
Blooming so wild and free.
As one who tears from Geology's store
Her Jewels grimy and old,
And holds them up to the startled world
With the value of shining gold,
So, thought, he looked on the varied view
OF mountain and valley green,
And the pebbles, shining pure and white
AT the foot of the dark ravine.
AS ''Doctor," with patronizng smile,
And demeanor calm and cool,
Who gathers the herbs from the generous hill
And the dimes from the generous fool,
1 thonght he studied with experts eye
The weeds and the grasses tall,
With view to boiling their tender leaves
In compounding his great "cure-all."
But, all these thoughts were as idle chaf
Blown away by the Summer breeze,
For, none of these was the quiet man
Who gaZed on the rocks and trees.
He studied with shrewd and business glance
EEsThe rocks, the streams and the grass
He was seeking out convenient spot
To BORE FOR NATURAL GAS!

JACKSON. THURSDAY JUNE 25. 1885 e

bell, will attempt to blow out the gospel
light, and defy the power which gave it.
This class of men make pretense of pre-
ferring to live in darkness, but soon, very
soon the awful fact dawns upon them
that they are helplessly dependent upon
the very power they are pretending to
defy and ridicule. Chagrined at their
own defeat, and ashamed to face the
world in open, manly acknowledgment
of it, they go on from bad to worse, from
punishment to punishment, from scourge
to scourge The fact that their neighbors
have an abundance of pure, clear light,
only serves to aggravate their helpless
ness, as it serves to intensity their dark
ness Like Pharaoh, rather than walk,
with bold and manly step, out into the
glare of the light, they seek to creep far
ther into the blackness of the shadows, at
the same time hoping and trusting that
the power which controls the universe
will shed upon their condition a better
light than that which shines about the
altars of the churches. A man blows
out light, and eXclaims 'there is no
light" though his neighbor may be re-
joicing in the effulgent glory of the cleo
trio beams. A man walks away from the
Gospel light and says there is no God!'
yet could the language of his heart be
heard, it would be repeating the word
"lie" with each succeeding pulsation.
Pharaoh saw that his neighbors who
believed and trusted in God, had light,
while he was in total darkness, This
was no more convincing argument to him
than is shown from time to time in the
present day. Yet while ackr owledging
himself beaten he would not as yet obey
the will of the Lord, because his heart
had been hardened. His was a character
prevalent in these days. Men have ac-
cepted the frogs and the lice and the
darkness without murmuring, and still
pers listed in defying God. Yet every one
of them recognizes the utter futility of
the conflict, and his own entire depend
ence upon the Lord. Nothing can be
palmer in this life, than the power of
God, and his complete dominion over all
things, and mankind must voluntarily
step into the light, or remain in darkness
forever.
