You found me rough stone from the

you who brushed off the evil, and who
first led me to the sweet waters Of moral
life and happiness. Ihave profited by the
lesson you gave me in early life and the
warm spark which your kindness lighted
up in my bosom has grown brighter and
brighter ever since. With an afhuence for
life have settled down to enjoy the re-

COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.

After the general debate had ended on
the tariff bill, proposition was made, by
the member of the House of Representa-
tives who had charge of the measure, to
some of the Republican leaders, to dis
pense with the consideration ofthe bill "in
the committee of the WHOLE"
Perhaps some of the readers of the Com
ga,aion do not know what is meant by this
phrase, or if they do know, they may not
be aware what is the object of "golng into
committee" "as 1t is called, on bill. The
committee of the whole is exactly what
the term suggests. Its membership is the
same as that of the assembly. The British
House of Commons calls the committee "a
committee of the whole House." In the
United States House of Representatives it
is usually termed "a committee of the
whole on the state of the Union." The
Senate considers bills ''as in the committee
of the WHOLE" but its system is slightly
different from that of the other House of
Congress.
When the House of Representatives
adopts a motion to 20 into committee of
the whole, the Speaker leaves the chair,
which is taken by some member desgnat-
ed by the Speaker. A new set of rules
comes into operation, much simpler than
those of the House itself. Some of the
changes should be mentioned. There is
no calling of the roll. All divisions are
taken by rising or by passing between
tellers.
Again, there is entire liberty to offer

SPENDTHRIFTs OF TIME.--The indolent,
the careless, and the mere pleasure-seeker
are the spendthrifts oftime. They waste
fully throw away the opportunity of in
creasng the true happiness and value Of
life. They are at the beck and call of 9TH
er idlers, and congratulate themselves that
they do not grudge every moment with a
friend or in innocent amusement. They
think they are liberal, while in truth they
are only wasteful. On the other hand,
there are others who pride themselves on
never wasting a minute, who rush from
one thing to another without pause and
who find no leisure to bestow on their
families and friends, who consider amuse-
ment a waste Of time and sleep necessa-
ry evil, who injure their health and mar
row their manhood by a continuous round
of labor that is ever depreciating in value
from receiving no infusion of fresh vitali
ity from outside sources.
These people think that they are frugal
in the use of time, when in truth they are
only penurious. Time, like money, is
valuable, as it contributes to the worth and
happiness of life :; and to this end there
must be system in its management and no
waste. Labor, repose and relaxation must
each be wisely provided for, the claims Of
health and comfort must be considered,
duties to self and to others must be meas
ured, and such an appointment of time as
will harmoniously develop their purpose
will be both frugal and liberal in the best
sense.

SLAVE TRAFFIC IN AFRICA 1.-The latest
accounts from the east coast of Africa leave
no room for doubt that large numbers of
slaves drawn from the Lake Nyassa dis
trict are now regularly exported to NADIA
gascar. A recent eye witness of some of
the atrocities committed by the Arabs
states that they have no regard for human
life or suffering. Large numbers of kid
mapped villagers who are taken to the ports
on the coast, are conveyed in dhows to
Madagascar. Mojanga is the headquarters
of this nefarious traffic, and there is too
much reason to believe that few Euro
peans as we'll as large number of British
Indians are concerned in these ventures.
Being we'll acquainted with the move
ments of the ships of war, the foreigners
at Mojanga are always able to warn their
Sakalva or Arab accomplices of impend-
ing danger. The Hova authorities are
bound by treaty to prevent the landing of
slaves, and it would be interesting to know
what reasons they give for relaxing their
vigilance. There is a general opinion that
things will not improve until greater
amount of consular supervision is exer-
cised on the west coast of Madagascar.-

LIFE'S JOURNEY.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.

AS we speed out of youths sunny station
The track seems to shine in the light,
But it suddenly shoots over chasms
Or sinks into tunnels OF night,
And the hearts that were brave in the morning
Are filled with repining and fears
As they pause at the City of Sorrow
Or pass thro' the Valley of Tears.
But the road of this perilous journey
The hand of the Master has made;
With all its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid. sE
Paths leading from light INTO darkness' ga sdss;r
Wind out tfiro' the tunnels OF fAmldnlght
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Tho the rocks and the shadows surround US,
Tho we catch not one gleam of the day
Above us, fair cities are laughing
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal forever,
Down over the hills in tho west, 44 Is
The last final end Of our journey s54t
There lies the Great Station Of Rest.
,T,s tho Grand Central point of all railways,
All roads center here when they end;
'Tis the final resort of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile books, all passes
If stolen or begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you at last to the spot.
II YOU pause at the City of Trouble
or wait in the Valley Of Tears,
Be patient, the train will move onward
And rush down the track of the years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim or your quest,
You shall come at the last with rejoicing
To the beautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of worries,
You shall feel perfect peace in this realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair waters,
With Joy and delight at the helm.
Yon shall wander in cool, fragrant gardens
With those who have loved you the best,
And the hopes that were lost IN Ilfes journey
You shall find in the City of Rest.

conceived it. AS Senator Ingalls, said, ne
takes counsel of everyone and then does
exactly as he thinks best, irrespective OF
the wishes of friends or foes. When we
consider the pressure for a clean sweep,
that was brought to bear upon him at the
beginning of his administration we can
but admire his strength and purpose. But
from this it is not to be supposed that his
administration is not 4 "Democratlc" one;
on the contrary even his "Bourbon" op-
ponents concede that it is.
Grover Cleveland was born on the 18th
of March, 1887, at the little village OF Cald-
we'll, Essex county, New Jersey. His an
cestors had moved into New Jersey: His
father, born at Norwich, was settled at
Caldwell as Congregational pastor when
Grover was born. He was educated hrst
at the excellent public schools OF ne"
Jersey, and then at tan academy IN clinton,
Oneida county, New York. When only
sixteen years old he came to the metropo-
lis to accept a clerkship in the Asylum ior
the Blind, where he is still lovingly re-
membered. When other young men OF
his ace would have devoted their leisure
hours to the pleasures of the city, he was
happiest when reading to the inmates Of
the institution, and he thus improved his
own mind while relieving the ennui OF
the afflicted. He is next heard of making
his way west in company with an enter
prising young man, with Clveland, Ohio,
as his objective point; but visiting while
on his way an uncle residing in Buffalo,
he was induced to remain in that city as
clerk in the store of his relative. He was
eighteen years of age at the time, an am
bilious young fellow, possessing the earn
est desire to become successful lawyer.
His uncle favored this aspiration, and we
find the youth a clerk in the office OF
the Buffalo firm of Rogers, Bowden u
Rodgers and at the same time enjoying
the comforts of good home at his rela-
tive's house. He was duly admitted to
the bar in 1859, and remained with his
old firm for years.
His mark in the profession was made at
once, and in his tWenty-siXth year he was
appointed Assistant District Attorney 1or
Erie county. This position, which ne held
for three wears, gave him thorough
knowledge of public affairs. In 1865, when
the Democracy was still under the cloud
of the civil war, he accepted the nomlna-
tion for District Attorney, but was defeat
cd. In 1866 Mr.. Cleveland became the
law partner of f. V. Vanderpool, and IN
1869 he admitted Messrs. Livingston and
Folsom to the firm. In 1870 he was elect
ed Sheriff of Erie county. In 1881 he was
nominated by the Democrats for Mayor OF
Buffalo, and his name was hail4d with en-
thusiasm by all classes of the community.
His platform was that of reform, and he
was triumphantly elected, running sever
al thousand votes ahead Of his ticket. His
incumbency Of the Office was successful and
popular. The earliest reports from the
Democratic State Convention spoke OF

Allen was tall, slender and straight as an
arrow, while the elder Thurman was short
and STOPPING. Thurman's father was be-
nevolent, devout and devotional. But his
mother was independent, stern and intel
lectual, and possessing an indomitable will
of her own. In one case the old gentle
man endeavored to reclaim a Methodist
brother who had wandered away to the
SWedenborgian faith, but the old lady an
tagonized him, and possessing herself OF
SWedenborg's works, she read them, was
converted by them, and her two daughters
followed her in her belief.
At the time the Thurmans arrived in
Ohio, Chillicothe was the most important
town and the capital of the State, which
had only been in the Union since 1902. 1t
was centrally located in what was called
the "Virginia Military District" a tract
of country including several counties of
land and bounded by the three rivers, the
Ohio, the Scioto and the Little Miami,
and which had been reserved by the State
of Virginia as bounty land for her revolu-
tonary soldiers. The irregular location OF
land warrants by the early settlers gave
rise to numerous lawsuits, which resulted
in drawing to Chillicothe the best legal tai
ent of the State, as we'll as giving, it the
leading position in commercial ana social
life. In 1906 it held one Of the courts in
which Aaron Burr was indicted for "con-
spiracy and treason" in which also sever
al of its citizens we're involved. Alto
gether, it was the most important town in
the whole western country at that time, the
bar of Ross county including the names Of
Judges Macarthur, Grimk, Wake, Doug
lass, Tiffin, Scott, Leonard, Creighton, and
later on Judges Keith, Whitman, Gilmor,
Stafford and many lesser lights.
AS soon as Thurman had completed
somewhat slender educational course in
the Chillicothe Academy, perhaps the most
ancient institution Of learning in Southern
Ohio, he was taken into William Aliens
office. Here he remained for three years
in severe study, under a severe master,
when he was appointed private secretary
to Governor Lucas at Columbus. While
living in the new capital he studied in the
law office of Judge Noah II. SWayne, q
noted Whig jurist, who was distinguished
afterward as the one clear-headed Repub-
lican Supreme Judge that prevented the
State of Ohio from precipitating a rebel
lion against the United States government
in 1859 on account of the fugitive slave
law.
In 1889 he went with his uncle to Wash
ingtOn. After a siXWeeks' vacation IN
the National Capital, he returned to his
law practice at Chllicothe. He had hard
work in his uncle's office, and in 1912 he
returned to Washington to attend to busi-
ness in the United States Supreme Court.
After this he travelled in several of the
Southern States. Two years later, while
in kentucky on legal business, he was
nominated for Congress by the Democratic
Convention of his district. After hard

amendments, which, under the modern
methods in our House of Representatives,
can rarely be offered at all, unless by con-
sent of the committee which reports the
measure. But speeches on amendments
are limited to five minutes each, whereas
the time allowed to one who gets the floor
when the House of Representatives prop
er is in session, is an hour.
Most important Of all, there is no "pre-
vious question" and the committee of the
" hole has no powerto shorten debate but
when the member having charge Of the
bill thinks that a certain clause has been
discussed enough, he moves that the COM
mittee rise. If the motion Is carried, the
Speaker takes the chair, and then the same
member moves that debateson the section
or clause under discussion be limited to
some time-one minute, five minutes or
some other time. Ifthisis Voted, the COM
mittee resumes its session, and the Chair
man carries out the order 6f,the' House by
stopping debate when the' ffme' fixed has
Now what is the object,of stis mAeRin-
cry? 1t is to enable nembers to consider
measures rather more /. iitfprHall and
more expeditioCsiy than they could under
the rigid rules of the House of Represen-
tatives; and going into committee also
gives them an opportunity to see the bill
as whole, amended, before they are
obliged to vote on its passage.
For when the bill has been read through,
section by section,- 1.-THE clerk pausing when
an amendment is proposed, and resuming
the reading when all amendments to the
clause have been acted on,-the member
in charge moves "that the committee rise
and report the bill to the House."
The motion is carried, the Speaker takes
the chair again, and the member who has
been presiding as Chairman reports that
the committee of the whole House has
had under consideration such and such
a bill, and reports it back to the House
with recommendation that it pass, with
sundry amendments, or without amend
ment, as the case may be.
Then the first question is on agreeing to
the amendments made in committee of
the whole. If no objection is made, they
are voted on in a lump, but frequently, by
agreement, some one or more amendments
are reserved to be voted on separately,
and then the yeas and nays may be called.
Without any reference to the tariff bill,
it may be said that the liberty to offer
amendments is one of the most useful of
helps to good legislation, and it has been
far too much curtailed already. If the

Correspondence of the iOrkville Enquirer.
LETTER FROM FLORIDA.

PALATKA, Florida, June 16.-A few
weeks ago letter from DR.. Bratton to S.
L. Lowry was published in the Herald, of
this city, relative to the superior advan-
tages offered by Yorkville and vicinity as
a summer resort. The letter called forth
good deal of favorable comment and
number of our citizens will visit Yorkville
this summer.
York county has given to Palatka and
Putnam county, number of good citizens,
all of whom are doing well. A number of
fine orange groves are owned by York
county men, in the western portion of the
county, which yield good crops to their
growers. In Palatka we have Lowry &
Starr among our most popular druggists.
"Sump" is a general favorite with our
people, especially the ladies. w. B. Cor
don has lived in Palatka for the past six
years, and by his courteous manner has
made many friends. Mr.. Gordon is now
manager of Nertrees & Co.'s sale and live
ry stable, one of our leading business
houses.
Capt. John F.. Speck, who at one time
operated ajewelry house in Yorkville, but
who of late has carried on his business in
Palatka, sold out his store two weeks ago,
to r. J. Rifles, and has left, with his fami-
~ lOI q NlSlG W NlllC ohSa OSiACA HiesSSo'
We are sorry to lose Capt. Speck, as he
was one of our leading business men.
This campaign will be one hard fought
in Florida. Our State may be regarded as
doubtful by some of our sister Southern
States of large Democratic majority, but
we, in Florida, entertain no doubt of De-
mocracy's triumph on election day. Un.
der the new constitution, every voter will
have to present his certificate of registra-
ton (or John Robinson circus ticket, as
South Carolinians term iD, before he can
vote. In that way the shittless negro pop
ulation will be deprived of the privilege,
or else comply with the law. Our State
convention placed in nomination good men
and the entire ticket will be elected by
splendid majority. The Democratic can
didate for Governor, Capt. Flemming, was
graduated from Kings Mountain Military
School, at Yorkville, and married an esti-
mable South Carolina lady, and is one of
the most popular men in the State. He
was gallant Confederate soldier during
the war. RosIN THE BOW.

GROVER CLEVELAND.

The Democratic party has decided upon
its STANDARDIZED and the platform of
principles on which they will stand. Gro
YER Cleveland, now President, has been
unanimously renominated by the St. Louis
convention for another term. Many and
varied are the opinions regarding the ad-
ministration of President Cleveland. His
friends claim that it has been an eXempla-
ry one, whilst his enemies contend that it
has been an utter failure. 1t is well to
mark too that his friends are not confined
to the ranks of his party, nor are his ene-
mics all Republicans. Some of his bitter
est opponents are Democrats and his most
Jealous friends are the so.called Snug
wumps' of 1884. One thing is certain,
however, that he has done his duty as he
