NEEDED PROMPTNEss.

The promptness Of Mayor SMITH in
responding to the complaint of Maj.
ALLEN and in stopping the heaping of
further refuse from the BEAUPRE-
KEoGH fire upon the ice in the river is
to be commended. If any means were
possible for so doing, the removal of
the tons of debris already carted out
upon the ice should be compelled at
once. AS MAJ. ALLEN pointed out,
there is imminent danger OF this refuse
impairing the costly work undertaken
by the government for keeping open
the channel of the river. Not only that,
but the mass of decaying and burned
debris is a menace to the health of the
city. The contractor should never have
been allowed to deposit it on the ice in
the first place, but since it has been
done the mayor does we'll to put stop
to any continuance of the work. This
is the season when especial vigilance in
sanitary matters is necessary in order
that the public health may be main
tanned, and any one who willfully jeop-
ardizes it should be brought up with
the shortest turn the law can administer
to him.

A GOOD BEGINNING.

Germany's new emperor starts off
well. His proclamation and his letter
to BISMARCK are both model state pa
pers, and will gain for the emperor the
respect and admiration of the civilized
world. He is not lacking in the sense
of personal gratitude, as is clearly indi-
Gated by the readiness with which he
testifies to BIsMARCK's agency in the
great work of creating the German en-
pire. Nor is he lacking in that keen
political sense which is invaluable to
ruler. for by thus publicly recogniz-
ing BIsMARCK's power and influence
and by making the very first act
of his imperial reign all official
publication expressing the empires in
debtednesS to the great chancellor, he
has won for himself the same loyal sup
port from BISMARCK that was accorded
to the late WILLIAM. But the point of
chief interest to us on this side of the
water in the emperor's utteranceS is the
expression of his devotion to the forms
of constitutional government and his
purpose to subordinate the imperial will
to the wishes of his subjects. The one
feature of FREDERICK'S utterances on
ascending the throne that will create
most uneasiness among the European
powers is the determined manner with
which he announces his purpose to con-
tinue his late fathers policy of keeping
the military organization of the empire
up to the highest standard. The Euro
pean governments fully understand
what this means. 1t is equivalent to a
service of notice ON the czar of Russia
that the German eye will continue to
watch his operations, and that the Ger
man hand will be extended as occasion
requires to repress the grasping DISPOSE
ton of the Russian. In the future, as in
the past, Germany will preserve the
peace of Europe by an imposing martial
demonstration.

CAN'T STAND 1T.

The Chicago papers tell story of a
little girl in that city who begged her
father to take her to Europe, out of
reach of the turmoil of the presidential
campaign, as she didn't think her nerves
could stand it. The story will provoke
a smile wherever it is told, and will
probably give the st. Louis papers op-
portunity to poke fun at its rival by say
ing that the girl was only afraid that
her feet would be stepped on by the rab-
bic that always throngs Chicago streets
during times of political excitement.
But, really, there is serious aspect to
the story, and it conveys useful lesson
if we would only look at it in the proper
light. LABoUCHERE observed to
all American in London: 81 do not see
how your women, at least, stand the
violence of partisanship in your coun-
try during a presidential campaign"
The filth which is usually poured out
during period of political excitement
in this country is nauseating. The az
rows of scandal fly i'll every direction,
and many an innocent heart is wounded.
The man who runs for Office is not the
one worst injured by the flood of scurril-
ity which is poured upon him. The great
injury is done in the domestic circle. 1t
is there the most painful and lasting
wounds are inflicted. Oh, for reforma-
tion in our American politics, when de-
cency would be an element in a polit-
ical campaign.

THE RAINBOW SERMON.

A shower came down and kissed the earth
So with loving tenderness,
And devery forest monarch sage received its
mute caress;
sweetness rare,
And cen the sun smiled through the trees,
and made the scene more fair.
A mother and her little child stood meath a
spreading oak;
Thelchild was mute with wonder as thus the
Il mother spoke:
Look RAYMOND dear, cross yonder hill, to-
- ward the sky so blue,
Do you not see that lovely arch OF eolors bold
and true?
See how it spans the vaulted skies and dips
5fa into the sea,
Then peeks at us from way behind that grand
old forest tree!
One day, tits said, monarch came, from
worlds far off from ours.
And hid pot of gold just where the rain
bow touched the flowers.
Some seek that mystic pot of gold until Life's
tide is passed,
And, failing in their search, return exhaus

And some, thank God there are few who
read that bow Alright,
See only i'll its varied hue promise clear and
bright.
Long centuries ago. twas made by One who
walked the sea,
And yet. tits new and firm to-day. and COM
forting to me,
Its mellow light spreads DER the earth, and
enters my sad heart,
Speaks peace to all my troubled thoughts
and waits to ne'er depart.
1t is "a mystic messenger, prophetic, grand
and grave,
And those who read its missiye will find the
words 4 save,
And so if we. who turn its leaves, will study
carefully,
Well find the promise written. Little child
