man than even Mr.. Elmurls), Ia
gave the reporter TO unlrrstnnd
that the record made by the Democra
tic majority Of the House in the recent
session of Congress was exceedingly
vulnerable, and that the President,
though he had approved the Olcomar.
garino bill and thereby made capital for
himself among the dairymen of New
York, had committed the greatest of
all mistakes in his small vetoes. Mr..
Allison also seemed to think-which a
great many Democrats will be slow to
comprehend-that the President, in
spite of all his protestatlons to the CON
trary, Is thoroughly in unison with his
party on the spoils Of Office question,
which Is as much as to say that his
frequent declarations of affection for
civil.servicc reform, though announced
with resonant and effective rhetoric,
have been more for effect than In sober
earnest. Upon this point the Senator
is misled or desires to mislead, for Mr..
Cleveland, while yielding to party
pressure to some extent, has given
ample and unmistakable proof of
what he held to be his obligations to
the civilservice reform sentiment of
the country.
There is one thing, however, upon
which Mr.. Allison is clearly in the
right, and can afford to break the re-.
serve with which he often hedges him.
self aboat, He is firm believer in
liberal appropriations for rivers and
harbors and an equally firm dishaliever
in what he calls the 'driblct principle"
OF doing out insufficient sums for pub.
lie works. Appropriations for all
needful improvements should, in his
opinion, be made outright aud in such
amounts rs to ensure their uninter-
rupted progress and sprcdicst possible
completion. This announcement will
make the Senator particularly solid with
large and influential section of the
country, which is pretty likely to make
itself more powerfully felt in both of
the next National Conventions than
ever before, and he is wise, perhaps, in
thus early defining his position.
Whatever the outcome Is to be, it is
quite certain that the Republican party
might 90 further aud fare good deal
worse than to make William b. Ali
son its standard bearer in 1888. Many
signs point to the West for candidate
and some of them point further west
than Ohio.

A CONVENTION was held in Cumber-
land, Md, last evening, the object of
which Is of considerable interest to con.
sumers of bituminous coal in the Dis.
trict of Columbia. The meeting was
to devise ways and means for continu.
ing the Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal as
commercial highway. The canal is
in very bad way financially; and great
difliculty-in fact, no success at all-is
encountered in placing new loan for
the purpose of defraying the expenses
of repairs. No plan was decided upon,
although the proposition to appeal to
the State of Maryland to make the
canal free, and that failing, to appeal
to the United States to do the same,
met with considerable support, it be-
ing concluded that the canal was much
more worthy of Federal aid than hun.
dreds of waterways for which pro-
vision is made iu the River and llarbor
bill. 1t was suggested that if the canal
were taken entirely out of politics it
would build up again, but there is no
prospect that it would. About all the
certainty there is in the whole business
seems to be that If some saving meas.
ures are not soon devised, the canal will
disappear as a commercial highway at
no remote date, or itself be converted
into railroad which would doubtless
solve the cOnundrum satisfactorily.
IL AN interview with number oi
Western and Southern Senators the
President is represented by the Phila

generally take the popular side of (
question. The newspapers represen

what inconsistent with other remark,
attributed TO the President concerning
the press but, rs we have had specia
occasion to note of late, the fact that
man holds the highest official position
in the country does not interfere will
the privilege of his changing his minC
now and them and we are glad to Sc
at last that Mr.. Cleveland has strucl

LAWYERS have been carefully exam
lining and discussing the will of the
late Samuel j. Tilden, and they say
that it is an iron, bound document that
would be difficult to break. This does
away with the old saying that lawyers
can draw up wills that cannot be broken
for every one except themselves. But,
perhaps, that old saying refers to
ordinary lawyers. Mr.. Tilden was not
an ordinary lawyer by any means.

outside, several women and one or two old
men.

The scene above described carries the
reader back to the time of the fierce and
4
against the settlers of New England, in
which all the worst element of the Indian
nature came to the surface. The firebrand
and the tomahawk were the weapons en-
ployed by the Indians to accomplish their
purpose of destroying the advancing power
of the white man and so mercilessly did
they use these that the outposts OF civlllza-
ton were swept away as by whirlwind.
The savages, avoiding direct conflict with
organized forces of the English, made sud
den and unsupported attacks, under cover
of darkness, upon exposed houses or towns,
applying the torch to the buildings, and
massacring the inhabitants or carrying them
into captivity Neither the life nor prop
erty of white man was safe for an instant.
While sitting quietly by his fireside or
working in the cornfield, he was liable to
instant death at the hands of an unseen
foe. In such condition of affairs it is not
surprising that spots, where of late the in
huenee of civilization had begun to make
itself felt were abandoned by their terror
stricken inhabitants Thus, for q while,
the rude savages again appeared as rulers of
the land, and the forest often resounded
with their war-crv as they fell on one
partly -deserted town after another and
their yells of triumph rang on the bushes
of midnight as they returned from their
of nj
aloft the scalps of their victims. For year
or more this bloody war lasted, bringing
death and desolation to many homes, until
its guiding hand and vital breath, King
Philip, was struck down, killed ny one of
his race.

SHE KISSED THE DEAD.

She kissed the dead, while tears Of grief
Rolled down her cheeks. so pale and fair,
Then snftly whispered, " Daring speak
And southe the grief OF her who weeps
For thee, with sorrow few can bear"
She kissed the dead. and babe him speak.
Ii only once that she might know
That he yet lived for loves sweet sake,
Though sleeping, still he might awake,
And then her tears would cease to flow.
She kissed the dead, whose cold, pale lips
Would ne er unclose nor breathe a sigh
For her who bent in anguish deep
Above the bier where silent sleep
Held him cnwrapt so peacefully.
She kissed the dead in vain she strove
To win from him one fond cares;
With breaking heart she called his name.
But to her cry no answer came,
And then she knew that he was dead.
