Miss Cleveland Quite willing.

Many people suppose that the
Presidents marriage will be distaste-
full to Miss Rose Cleveland because
it will displacs her as mistress at the
White House. This is a mistake.
A friend of mine tells me he knows
that Rose Cleveland lately sent a let
ter to one of the old school friends in
Lebanon, Pa, where she used to
teach, in which she stated that,
though she liked the life Of the White
House she was tired Of it, and that
she would be glad when the Presi-
dents marriage during the coming
summer relieved her from it. This
is the first announcement of the mar
riage / have heard which comes from
the White House.

be represented in the department of
the government.
So far as its conciliatory Offices had
relation to disturbances which inter-
fered with transit and commerce be-
tween the States, its existence would
be justified under the provisions of
the Constitution which gives to Con-
gress the power "to regulate CON-
merce with foreign nations and among
the several States" And in the fre-
quent disputes between the laboring
men and their employers OF less ex-
tent and the consequences Of which
are confined within State limits and
threaten domestic violence, the inter
position OF such a commission might
be rendered, upon the application of
the Legislature or Executive of a
State, under the constitutional pro-
vision which requires the General
Government to "protect" each Of the
States against domestic violence"
WHY THEY WOULD ARBITRATE.
If such commission were organ
lied, the risk of loss of popular sup
port and sympathy resulting from re-
fusal to submit to so peaceful an in
strumentality would constrain both
parties to such disputes to invoke its
interference and abide by its decis-
ions. There would also be good rea-
son to hope that the very existence Of
such an agency would invite
application to it for advice and coun-
sci, frequently resulting in the avoid
ance of contention and misunderstand-
ing. If the usefulness OF such COM
mission would is doubted because it
might lack power to enforce its decis-
ions, much encouragement is derived
from the conceded good that has been
accomplished by the railroad commits
sions which have been organized in
many States, which, having little
more than advisory power, have exert
ed most salutary influence in the
settlement of disputes between con-
flicting interests.

Wi We he Missed?

When comes the closing of our earth
lycareer, when the curtain drops on the
last act of our life play, will we be
missed?
Aye, that is something to ponder
over. There is field for thought.
viii we be missed when we die? We
would all rather be. We all wish in
after years, when the sod grows green
over our graves, for somebody to come
and shed tears of sorrow where we rest.
When the leaves fall, and the winters
cold winds howl dismally around us
and around the tombs, and afterward
the bright sunshine wraps the world
in mellow warmth, will not some one
come with the flowers and the birds,
and weep because we are gone?
We hope so. How desolate and
lonely to be laid away in the silent
home of the dead-the sleeping; laid
away, and forgotten. We should not
feel happy, we think, in another
world, if somebody did not miss US
did not weep for us when we were
gone,
Will we be missed? Dear reader,
will you be missed? Would you not
feel sorry to think that no one would
miss you-that in no heart your life
had left an impression-a tender feel
ing, so when came the hour OF death,
no heart would would feel q vacant
longing for your return-no eye
would shed a sorrow-laden tear over
your graye2
The sweetest reward for our efforts
for good, it seems to us, will be
knowledge that after death we shall
still live in the hearts in tho souls o
some dear friends. 1t may be kline
of vanity, but we love to know tina
we are thought OF when away. We
love to know that somebody will care
for us-will miss us when we arr
dead. There is tie, akin to Heaven
that binds souls together in com
munion of bliss. That tie death can
not sunder.
Shall we be missed? Yes, we vii
be missed by some one. Some ar
not missed, but they are few. N
matter how bad we are-how impur
and imperfect-how little we deserv
to be remembered, there is apt to b
some one to love us. But the few VIII
die unloved-the few who have n
place in anyone's heart how sad mus
death be to them. If, when we die W
know we shall be missed, then deaf
will lose half its pangs. 1t seems [
: us that death is not so terrible
those who have loving friends to II
member them--ts weep for them
miss them. But to die unloved-t
cross the dark valley-to wander !
the shadows alone-how terribl
: hew lonely. To die and leave th
/ world, uncared for, unremembered-
|. how sorrowful.
Shall we be missed? All, we hol
so! We think it would afford |
: much pleasure to know that death d
not close our life here, to know tn
+ we should live on and on in som
kind heart, to know that we had
lived that some one, at least, won

characteristic of the Success.
or OF Judge jackson
Ina the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-Mr Whit
thorn, newly appointed Senator from
Tennessee, spent good deal OF time
in Washington last summer and in
the early spring. He was a candi-
date for Office under this Admins
tration. He had served twelve years
in Congress and had performed
most important work as the Chair
man Of the Investigating Committee
OF the House, which brought to light
and established officially the frauds of
Robeson's naval management. Mr..
Whitthorne would have liked the DO
sition of Fourth Auditor of the Treas
ury. This official sudits the accounts
OF the Navy Department. Mr.. Whit
thorne, through his long experience
as an Investigator, understood thor
oushly every branch of the business
OF that department He knew the
names and faces Of evory. one Of the
swindling contractors who had grown
fat upon the dishonest management
OF the navy, and would have been
invaluable in that position.
There was some delay in appoint
ing Mr.. Whitthorne and he became
indignant. He said that he was not
here as an applicant for an office. He
thought the advantage would haye
been with the Administration in se-
curing his services. He was cold
shouldered and rebuffed. His friends
were told that younger man was
needed.
Mr. Whitthorne went home with
the administration OF his party at
Washington. His return here as a
Uuited States Senator will give him
an opportunity, for brief period at
least to show the Administration peo-
pie that he is man entitled to special
consideration. His appointment as a
Senator is a severe blow to the aspir-
ations of Mr.. Porter, the Assistant
Secretary of State, who is himself a
candidate for the Senate. He and
Whitthorne are enemies. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Whitthorne last
summer had very severe correspond
ence with the Assistant Secretary on
account of certain reflections made by
Mr. Porter in an interview pub
lished in Memphis. Mr.. Whitthorne
challenged Mr.. Porter to fight a duel,
but the latter declined, whereupon
Mr.. Whitthorne proclaimed Porter to
be coward.
The new Senator 10 man of msdi-
UNI height and wsll-rounded figure.
His countenance is one indicating
shrewdness and ability. His forehead
is broad, but low, overshadowed by
; thick iron-gray hair; his eyes keen
and of an intense blue; his nose
dropping aquiline; his cheek bones
high, the lower part of his face sunken
and angular. He wears gray mus
tache and chin whiskers. He uses
Z nearly half pound of tobacco a day.
He has 3 good analytical mind and
is considered a convincing though
not an eloquent speaker. He is a
man Of uncompromising honesty.
He holds Pan-Electric stock to very
small amount, which he purchased as
did Senator Vest. His carelessness OF
dress is such thSt.h his friends told him
, it stood in his way to, getting \ Cab

A COMMISSION WITHOUT BIAS,

A commission thus organized would
have the advantage of being a stable
body and its members, as they gained
experience, would constantly improve
in their ability to deal intellightly and
usefully with the questions that might
be submitted to them. If arbitrators
are chosen for temporary service as
each case of dispute arises experience
and familiarity with much that is in
volyed in the question will be lacking
extreme partisanship and bias will be
the qualifications sought on either
side and frequent complaints Of un-
fairness and partiality will be inevita.

court of duty foreign to the judicia.

mack, which got the founder of the Cham
pion family. Every intelligent horseman
knows that in all three of the noted trot-
ting families above mentioned the pre-
vailing color is bay, and it occurs with
even greater uniformity than black
among the descendants of Black Hawk.
As men in the highest standing are liv-
ing today who knew Black Hawk from
the hour he was foaled until he died at
Bridport, VT, it is apparent that the
story representing him as coming from
Canada when a four-year-old was clearly
due to a case of mistaken identity, and
never had even shadow of foundation,
although the parties who made the claim
were undoubtedly sincere in their belief
that the black four-year-old stallion
which they saw in the drove that went
to Lowell and worked in wood yard,
was the one afterwards known as Black
Hawk.

From Mr.. ThOmsons notes of inter

that she said that Mr. Rising bought {

of his interview with William Bevins
that he said that Rufus Rising had the
dam of Ethan four years, and got her a
four years old.
From the testimony furnished by Mr.
Thomson with an extract given below
from letter of Rufus Rising, it is evi
dent that the mare which Rufus Rising

furnished Mr.. Wallace suggestion

Up to Monday the sun had shone
every day for six weeks. Saturday
and Sunday were ideal days, full of
sunshine and balminess. Monday night,
just as people were beginning to talk
of the need of rain, the rain came and
continued falling with scarcely any
let-up until late last evening, doing a
vast amount of good. 1t is clearing
off cold and there were slight snow
squalls on the hills to the north and
west yesterday, but no damage is re-
ported. The season is very forward
and if no severe frOsts come the year
