that the grand, old man. at any time lifted
up his voice In discussion Of the issue. so
profound was the silence maintained by
him, that he failed even TO record his vote,
Somewhat disheartened, but yet firm in

Mr.. Plumbs constituents, encouraged by a
number of private letters, inadvertently
given to the public prints, which discussed
the workingmsn's troubles with great glib
ness, were certain beyond the peradvelture
of doubt that the great effort" OF their
beau. ideal of statesmanlike qualities and
public virtues would speak with no uncer-
tain sound upon the Labor Arbitration"
bill; but the bill was brought up, was dis
cussed, was voted upon, and yet the same
awe inspiring silence brooded over the seat
occupied by "the most influential represen.

at last he has risen TO the emergency and
demonstrated that in q supreme crisis he is
possessed Of the ability to grasp the cir.

arbitration measure; but on Wednesday,

upon the floor of congress, and, while the
representatives of the people Of thirty
eight states and several territories held
their breath in anxious expectancy, spoke
for full five minutes In behalf of the long
suffering and down-trodden COW, protesting
against the cruelty done her by compelling
her to submit to tie indignity of having
the churned product of her udder brought
in further competition with butter made of
tallow.

A COWARDLY VOTE.

BY vote of 157 nays to 140 yeas the
House of Representatives, on Thursday
refused to consider the Morrison Hewitt tar
if measure, and for the present session at
least, there will be no attempt at read.
justment of the present iniquitous system
which disgraces our statute books, anu if
longer maintained will prove disastrous
to the business interests of the country,
The bill was defeated by the action of
thirty five cowardly democrats, who prov
ing untrue to the pledges Of the demo,
cratic party solemnly given to the people
in the party's last national conven-
ton, voted with the republicans. What
excuse these men can give for their action
in refusing to at least consider the Nor
rison bill is hard to imagine. No legis-
lation is so much needed as sound tariff
legislation, and no professions have been
so profusely made as those made by both
the great political parties, relative to cor
recting the abuses of our revenue system.
BY their promises to correct it they
admit that it needs correction, and yet they
by the action of their chosen representa-
tives refuse to correct it. Nothing is to be
gained by such course, and the men who
proved renegades to the principles of the
democratic party, on Thursday, should be
relegated to the walks of private lite.
They are not essential to the good of the
country, and under the leadership of the
Judas of the party-Randall always
prove menace to democracy and the pub
lie welfare.
If the democrats fail to secure MAORI
ty of the members of the next House, the
blame must attach to the cowardly, halt
ing course pursued by some of its repre-
sentati yes since December last The peopl,
are not always to be deceived, nor will the
people for ever remain content with prom
ises that always fail of fruitage.

Let me draw you picture, rude and rough
OF the brightest thing in all the town.
If had but wit and skill enough,
'Twould win me lasting renown.
Let no one disturb me! Leave me alone,
Give me chance 1t is all | ask.
Let me try my hand-no master S, own
At this impossible task
Impossible Yes, for an Angelo
TO paint the picture wish you to see;
Impossible quite for art to show
This picture that lives with me,
And yet, It's only halfgrown girl
Half or whole, do not know;
A face hung O er with hair all a curl
And eyes as black as crow
Black, did say? Then made a mistake,
For I've seen them as gray as the breast
of dove,
Green with scorn, and red with hate,
And azure and gold with love
The brow of some calm, rejecting Greek,
And nose not Roman nor aquiline,
An oval face and an olive cheek,
Flushed through with blood, like wine.
A chin like some famous old Van Dyke,
Tapering soft TO a point, just so;
And mouth--now what is this young mouth
like?
Don't guess what You don't know

Miss Cleveland does not write as good 20.
etry as she does prose. There is a lack Of
| finish to her verse that is plainly noticeable
| At times the idea she is anxious to express
is lost in curious style of expression. Up
on her whole literary work this criticism
might very justly be passed. She has q
bad habit of inverting her sentences, which,
though causing them to appear strikingly
unique, lessons the force of her thought and
conveys to the mind of the reader the i'm
preston Of studied literary atfectation. But
she is a bright woman-one possessed of an
exceptionally vigorous mind and endowed
with uncommonly good sense. In converse.
ton she is brilliant and in manner cordial
She has great faith in the abilities of her own
sex. She believes that woman should be
thoroughly independent, but not Extensively
so. 1t would hardly be correct to class her
with those who assert themselves as "wom
mans rights women, for she has not the dis
agreeable traits that generally characterize
the women who demand for woman the right
to dabble in party politics, to exercise the
right of franchise and hold office.
Miss Cleveland retirement from the po-
sition of Mistress of the White House will
take from Washington society one of the
most accomplished ladies who ever filled the
position, and at the same time one of the
most sensible and democratic.

No excuse can be given for the conduct Of
the Rev. Davis, of the NJ. E. church, in gs-
ing ont of his way on Sunday last to attack
the promoters of the alumni entertainment
and the managers Of the Hennepin steam
boat excursion. The pulpit gains nothing
by the pursuit Of such methods, and the
minister but weakens his influence for good
when he INDUCES in them. Undoubtedly
Rev. Davis is man of ability and learn.
ing, but he apparently lacks that thor
ough judgment that should be possessed
by one who follows the calling of the
ministry. Above all other men, the d:sci-
statements and accurate in their knowledge.
When they are neither careful in statement
nor accurate in knowledge they render
themselves liable to very grave criticism.
Befor, Rev. Davis openly charged in his ser
mon of Sunday that the trustees Of the High
School were aiders and ahettors of puu.'c
dances, and that the excursion was of the
same origin, he should have known TO a cer-
tainty that such was the case. His failure
in this respect has led him into error and
lessened the number Of his friends in this
city. Conscientious zeal in good work is
very commendable, but it may well be doubt
ed whether the cause of Christianity is pro-
NOTED by the ministry's making attacks up
on that which they deem an evil, in manner
that bespeaks as much of intemperance in
one direction as the over Indulgence in the
error complained of, indicates in another.
"Be ye temperate in all things" is quite
as applicable to the licensed preacher who
proclaims from the pulpit the Gospel of
love- on each Sabbath day as it is to the
layman who sits in the pew hoping to find
in the minister's sermon that which will fill
him not alone with better hopes and aspira-
tions, but will as we'll be guidance to bet.
ter living. 1t is to be regretted that minis.
tiers so often either forget or fail to perceive
this fact.

The attempt will be made by the republi-
can managers of the congressional campaign
to make point Of the IIennepin Canal
scheme. For years this line of campaigning
has been followed and the people have been
told that by electing this republican or that
republican the canal appropriation would be
at once made. To an unprejudiced observer
it is not evident that any progress whatever
has been made in the matter. The truth is,
that the lIennepin Canal project, while
furnishing "a good enough Morgan until
after election is scarcely enough of one
to carry a man into congress The issue this
fall must be made upon the personal integri-
ty and political methods of the candidates,
and if the circumstances now pointing to-
warls Mr.. Plumb's denomination eliminate
in it, the upright people of the district
should rebuke the lmpertinence of the poll
ticians of the republican party in forcing
him upon them. Mr.. Plumb's election should
not be fought on party lines, but by the hon.
est citizens of the district, who feel and BE-
lieve him to be an unworthy representative
of the district. If Mr.. Plumb's political
methods are pure above reproach he will not
object to the fullest discussion of them He
will scarcely ask the Senate of the United
States to protect his political honor.
