no FOR THE WOODS.

1t is a very commendable impulse which
leads people to get away from their work
for short time during the summer and
take good rest. 1t is an impulse which
deserves encouragement. The only regret
is that it is not wider spread. 1t has been
said with justice that Americans, as a
nation, take too little recreation, and de-
vote themselves too stringently to business,
with the result of prematurely wearing out.
Fortunately the assertion is becoming
yearly less true. Every year the number
OF people seeking ''calm contemplation and
poetic ease" for a brief period is becoming
greater. But do they go about
it in the right way? In most
cases they certainly do not. One or two
weeks spent at crowded and fashionable
summer resort, where gayety and accom-
panying late hours prevail, may be recrea
ton OF very enjoyable kind, but 1t is by
no means recuperation. On the contrary,
the chances are that the seeker after rest
will return to his or her work rather more
listleSs and fatigued than before starting
out for the vacation.
The most restful and in every way bene
ficial form of recreation is that which has
the deep, cool woods for its scene, where
the thrilling music of the whirling
reel takes the place of that from
violin and horns, and where draughts of
pure air, impregnated with the natural in
cense OF the woodland arouse an appetite
and invigorates the wearied body far more
than constant drinking of mineral water at
the country's most famous springs. Into
the woods, the deeper, the farther from
civilization the better, the wise pleasure
and health seeker is going, and it is en-
couraging to observe that others, usually
moved solely by consideration of fashion,
are beginning 10 follow the ex-
ample. The Adirondacks, the White
mountains, the Virginia and the Rocky
mountains have this year attracted more
exploring and camping parties, composed
of both sexes, than ever before. Minnesota,
too. presents very field inviting for this
kind of vacation spending. The attractive
ness of her larger lakes is already famous.
But in other portions of the state not so
well known there are tracts of sylvan
beauty unsurpassed These obscure woods
and lakes deserve to be more widely known.
For camping parties they form an ideal re-
treat. Minnesota has substantiated her
claims regarding her well-known summer
resorts. With confidence she invites in
spection of the glades, glens and lakes
which gave LoNGFELLow some of his hap
piest inspirations.

CORPORATION ATTORNEYS.

Senators EvARTs and EDMUNDs are
afraid to go on the record as opposed to the
BECK bill prohibiting members of congress
from serving as attorneys for land grant
and subsidized railroad companies so they
unite in a report recommending to the SEN
ate a substitute prohibiting members of con-
gress from acting as attorneys for any kind
of corporation and from engaging in any
kind of manufacturing or importing bust
ness upon which there is a custom duty or
an internal revenue tax. 1t is very well
understood that Mr.. EvARTs and Mr.. Ed
MUNDs are not sincere in their advocacy of
such bill. They simply want to load the
proposition down with ridiculous feat
ures in the hope of defeating the
original bill. The only wonder is
that their substitute didn't propose to pro-
hibit members of congress from engaging
in any sort of business. Senator BECK
has given notice that he intends to press his
bill. If Senators EvARTs and EDMUNDs
think that the bill ought not to pass they
should have submitted their reasons for
thinking SO instead of lodging the question
by reporting ridiculous substitute from
the committee The fact that these two
eminent corporation attorneys failed to dis
cover a reason why the BECK bill should
not pass is the best argument in favor OF
its passage.

SCENES TN TIE CITY.
Rootblacks Mt Play.

Three little bootblacks are down on their
knees OIL the shady side of the sidewalk.
Their kits" by which term they designate
their boxes and outfits, are on the pave
ment, the leather strap suspending the
boxes from their shoulders not being suffi-
GENTLY long to hold them up. Little do
they seem to care whether their kits are
intact or whether possible patron with
boots that need blacking passes them by.
They are busy.
FOrgetful of their past annoyances of
hunger ami cold, they are temporarily
happy, as they change their position from
cool and the touch to their bare feet is not
disagreeable. But not so intent are ethey
with the condition of the pavement or of
the SUMS rays and shadows. as with the fall
of a dirty and greasy ivory cube with black
spots marked OH the six sides. They all
watch the face of the dice. The boy, when
he is throwing it, snaps his finger several
times while the cube is settling, and calls
out some number, below six, the obvious
object being to have the desired number
come to the top.
He continues and at last calls ''craps"
He pockets the pennies that are held in the
hands of the other two boys and deposits
them in his own left hand. The game goes
on, and the three bootblacks take turns in
throwing the dice. For an hour or more
they gamble on, when at last one of the
three is without the necessary penny to
back his luck and the game is stopped.
The winner of the pennies goes straight
to fruit stand where he buys a banana
or else looks up a vendor of waffles with
powdered sugar on Its surface, and imme-
diately partakes of such purchase.
The loser-the bootblack without cent
starts for the first man he meets on the
sidewalk and insinuates that his shoes need
shining up. Not daunted by refusal to
accept his services, the bankrupt bootblack
keep on, and either makes enough to get
his supper or else goes to bed hungry. In
the morning he makes raise. and in the
afternoon ne and his fellow bootblacks are
again playing ''craps."

The CLOSE observer might have noticed
that there was an absence Of cordially be-
tween two distinguished guests recently at a
local hotel, w. P. NIXON, the distinguished
and versatile editor of that phenomenally
brilliant and progressive journal, the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, and Gov. SwINEFoRp, the deb
onair governor of Alaska. The Chicago
journalist had falsely insinuated that the
statesman had drawn his salary before he
even started for Alaska. This the governor,
who was once q newspaper man, regarded as
a breach of journalistic courtesy, hence the
GOODNESS. His revenge, however, has been
complete. He has refrained from inviting
the editor to reap untold wealth by investing
in some of those rose-colored Alaska mining
schemes.

THE ERA OF CORRUPTION.

/
In his speech at the alliance picnic al
DOM vigorously denounced the corruption
which he alleged existed in our state legiS-
latures, and said that unless the evil ceased
there was no hopes for industrial reform
nor for the republic itself. SIT is an open
secret said Mr.. WINDOW, that members
Of state legislatures are sometimes
controlled by money rather than by
the wishes of their constituents in
the election of United States senator's and
yet the penitentiary is denied its just dnes. !"
Mr. WINDOW has had some experience in
senatorial elections and ought to speak in
intelligently on this point. 1t is gratifying,
however, to find a man of Mr.. WINDOW
position talking so plainly on this subject.
The only regret is that he didn't commence
to talk this way little bit earlier. He
speaks the truth in most forcible IAN
guage but the conditions which he
describes as existing now have existed
for great many years. 1t has been pretty
generally understood for long time that
elections and legislation, both state and ma
tional, have been controlled by money.
During his long and distinguished career
Mr.. WINDOW had excellent opportunities
to observe and study the corrupt methods
by which national legislation was secured,
and he did great injustice to himself that he
did not stand up in his place on the floor
of the senate and denounce those methods
in the same vigorous language that he used
at Mortified the other day. Hecould have
rendered the country great service at the
time by doing so and would have made
himself famous. Now he is a LAY to late
for the fair. These corrupt methods In
legislation have been exposed and the penl-
tentiaries are beginning to get their dues.
The leaven of reform is beginning to Work
and while it may not have reached the halls
of congress it is finding its way there.
The conviction and punishment of
of the New York Doodle aldermen is the be-
ginning symptom of the working of the
leaven. st. Louis has followed suit with a
batch of indictments against her municipal
legislature. Chicago is up in arms in a
warfare against her corrupt councilmen
and will ultimately lodge the whole gang
in the penitentiary. The reform spirit is
contagious and is spreading to all the cities.
The conduct Of municipal legislative bodies
is everywhere scrutinized closely. The
public eye is also resting on the state
legislatures and the members who are sus-
pected of possessing itching palms are
watched with the same attention that the
alert detective bestows upon the profess
siocal crook. The people of this country
are determined that the foundations of law
and order shall not be broken up. They
are on the lookout for bribe-takers, and
will send them to the penitentiary just as
fast as they are found.

wrecked in fame and fortune and health.
GLADSTONE, who always has kind feeling
for literary men, took young TREvELYAN
under his own wing, and secured for him a
place where he might have an opportunity
to acquire political fame. He made him
secretary for Ireland. TREvELYAN's dis
NAL failure to govern that country is part
of British history. And now to cap the
climax OF that failure his constituency has
repudiated him, and he is retired from pub
lie life in bitterness of soul, if not IN actual
disgrace. Although TREvELYAN is still
comparatively young man, under fifty, his
hair and beard have turned white, and his
shoulders are stopped as if bound with the
weight of age. His mistake is that he did
not stick to book-making and let politics go
to the dogs, instead of going there himself.

1t is not all meodrama with Pulitzer.
Sometimes the haunted conscience rests,
sometimes the dilating terror in his eyes re-
cedes, and then Pulitzer is for a moment--not
gay or wholesome-just the old, shifty, fur
tive lurking Pulitzer-the Pulitzer of that
comparatively peaceful time when as yet he
was only plotting. In these brief Interludes
when he can "a re about him without discern
ing In every brooding shadow the awful out
lines of purSuer, Pulitzer has been known
TO convulse his features in an effort to recover
the lost art of smiling. Sometimes he takes
up the latest business affidavit from the
Worlds counting room, and then a deep
Charybdis yawns beneath his ragged beard.
anG from the fan2ed and lurid chasms comes
a clammy hiss, such as the horned frog utters
when at bay. 1t is not the laugh that peo-
pie like to hear-the laugh that draws child
rem to the knee and clears the careworn
brow of age. Rather it it like the snarl of
the hyena in appearance, and like the warn
ing of the coiled cobra in sound. Yet it is
the best Pulitzer can do by way of merri-
ment, and, all things considered, he is to be
congratulated upon 1t. That Pulitzer should,
under the circumstances, be able to try to
smile is much.

AhoYe our heads sympathetic shade;
The world was all in bloom, the very air
Pulsed with the summer, round us every

We saw the blue sky through the green
arcade;
The birds and breezes sung our serenade,
That happy day, the day beyond compare

We saw each others souls; with joy afraid,
We turned away to do as duty babe;

1t was beautiful night at sWhite Bear

surface of silver, as not a wavelet disturbed
the tranquil and mirror-like lake. Re-
iected on the peaceful bosom of the little
unsalted sea were the feezy clouds that
scurried through the soft and mellow moon
rays, and disappeared in space. The
heavens were dotted with stars whose lesser
rays showed to great advantage the
brilliancy of the moon-beams.

forest along the shore grew darker and

Politics do not mix with literary pur-
mits. 1t is almost sure to be the case that
when man of distinction in letters turns his
attention to politics he makes failure. A
notable instance of this truth has recently

TREvELYAN, whose defeat for a

satisfaction to the Liberals. TREvEL-
FAN had splendid field before
him when he embarked in literature. When
