MAKE-BELIEVE SPRING.


wee Daisy whispered, "'Tis time, dears, think
The winds have stopped blowing, can I sleep q
wink!
Get ready your frills and your nice golden caps,
To peep, when the rain on the door softly taps
The warm silver rain softly taps"
meek little Violet answered, "'Tis plain
She talks in her sleep. let US slumber again.
THAT S just my opinion observed Buttercup;
The sunshine will tell US the time TO get up
Precisely the time TO get up"
"Hush." whispered a Lily, why wake us so soon?
Tho you may not hear them, the harsh breezes
Groom;
They tell of the storms that are coming this way;
1t Will not be spring-:ime for many a day
All! many q deSoIate day"
''oh! do 90 to sleep" sighed a Croeus near by,
There is MT the sign of bird in the sky;
You must have been dreaming; if spring-time
were near,
You foolish young Daisy, I IN sure should hear
The hrst one of all should heart
But Daisy replied, "oh! I know It's the spring.
Then GOlden-rOd sighed, III yOL hear the birds
sing,
Why linger, yOu foolish young Daisy, at all?
only began 10 sleep late in the fall;
Go. there s a dear, do MT wake us at all
Now, while they all whispered, the winds had
grown still;
The clouds became ashen, DER valley and hill:
$50 softly IL fall.'' said the feathery Snow;
81 Ii make-belieye spring for the flowers below
The whispering flowers below!'

Beltttnttt Chronicle.
THURSDAY, MARCH Il, 1889.

THE pitiful excuse that lawyers ad-
-vised the Clerk of this township to GER
tify $500 of the township funds out of
the Treasury in defiance of law can not
excuse the wrong-doing. Lawyers have
no authority to suspend the Constitution.
When admitted to the Bar they are re-
quired to take an oath that they will sup
port it, and that obligation rests upon
them in every act of their professional
lives.
This is one of the crying evils of the
day. Men pursuing an honorable pro-
fession seem to think it a matter of small
moment, when it is to their interest, or
for fee or reward, to advise an officer
to do an unlawful act; and, when called
to account for it, the officer undertakes
to shelter himself behind that opinion.
1t is wrong reaching in its effects,
in every view, and calculated
to greatly lessen public respect for what
ought to be an honorable profession.

THE Wheeling Register asserts that
/" for reasons of the broadest wisdom, "
whatever all that may mean, the Legis-
lature of that State refused to declare
the result of the election. Such an ex-
planation of revolutionary proceeding
may satisfy the people of West Virginia,
but it is very certain it would not the
people of Ohio.
Some one was elected Governor over
there. There can be no doubt nor dis
pute about that. And that the Legisla-
ture should have completed the canvass
Of the vote and announced the result all
men must admit Surely
there are lawful methods to correct irreg-
llarities, if any can be established. The
is shame and reproach to
The State.

GENERAL HARRISON could not make a
wiser selection than Hon. John w. Mason,
of Grafton, for Commissioner of Internal
Revenue. Mr.. Mason is amply qualified
to fill the position. He has rendered dis
tinguished party services, and above all
enjoys high measure of the confidence
and respect of the people of West Vir-
ginia.- Wheeling Register.
Coming from the source it does, this is
a high compliment. Of all men named
for the important office of Commissioner
of Internal Revenue, Mr.. Mason is the
best, in our opinion. His appointment
would be good politics, too. But Con-
gress should next winter abolish the en-
tire internal revenue system.

EARLY MAILS IN CALIFORNIA.

EARLY MAILS IN CALIFORNIA.
Gen. W. T. sherman in the North American Re-
view for March.
In 1847, only AZ years ago, there was
no such thing as mail in California.
Letters came struggling by chance ships
from China, Valparaiso, Calloa and the
Sandwich Islands. The Adjutant Gen.
eral of the Army, afterward from Wash
ington, sent across land by Kit Carson,
F. Y. Aubrey and Roubideoux a few Of
fetal letters once year by way of Fort
Leavenworth, Santa F6, Los Angeles,
&c, starting usually in September of
each year, and reaching our headquar-
ters at Monterey in May of the follow
ing year. That was the Surest and most
expeditions way We in California could
receive letters from our Eastern friends
in 1847, 1913 and part of 1S49. As soon
rs Gen. W. ). Kearney had established
his headquarters at Monterey March,
1910 he ordered the Quartermaster,
Capt. Folsom, at Yerba Buena (now San
Francisco) to establish a Semi-monthly
mail from San Francisco to San Diego,
a distance of 500 miles. Capt. Folsom
divided the route into four parts-San
Francisco to Monterey, Monterey to
"Dana's" (Nepoma), Dana's to Los An
geles, and Los Angeles to San Diego.
This was the first regular mail route ev-
er established on the Pacific Coast. Gen.
Kearney, in May, 1917, returned to what
we then called the United States, leav-
ing Col. r. B. Mason, First Dragons, in
his place, and me as his Adjutant Gen.
eral. All reports, messages, &c, came
to me, and had small adobe house,
with negro boy, "Jim," who was sup
posed to take care of me. The mail
old trapper, Jim Beckworth, counter
part of Jim Bridger, except that Beck
worth was cross between a U0ydgeIr
of Canada and Crow Indian, and was,
in my estimation. one of the best ehron-
icler of events on the plains that have
ever encountered, though his reputation
for veraeity was not good.
California, from 1S4S to 1888, passed
through all the phases of civilization
which England did in the past thousand
years. In 1916 it was an outlying Mex
lean Province. At that time there was
not shod horse in California, not a
tavern, hotel, OF even common wagon
road. We travelled by trails, on horse
back, sleeping by the roadside, eating
jerked meat or game shot with our rifles;
and now California has better hotels,
better markets, more convenient appur-
tenance for travel than London, Paris,
or Vienna, and as good stores, factories,
and machine shops. When l first rode
into Yerba Buena, now San Francisco,
in 1917, could not command roof,
meal, or even buy oats, barley,
OF hay for my tired horse. Now,
can obtain a good car
riage, hotel, and room as luxurious as
can be found in the world. By the law
of virtual velocitieS this transition has
been sudden, violent, and necessary
The existence of San Francisco on the
Pacific Coast was demanded by the civ
ilization of the whole world-a neeessa-
~ link between Europe, America, Japan,
China, &c. Mexico was not equal to ac-
eomplish this task, and we of the Uni
ted States have the right to claim the
perfect fulfillment of a noble task in the
grand march of civilization which must
the globe.

New York Tribune ,Rep.l

Mrs. JAMES X. Polk, in some chatty
"reminiscences of her husbands inaugu-
guration, has this to say concerning a
newspaper statement that at Gen. Jack
sons inaugural ball the ladies wore cal
leo dresses without any flowers: "Now
that is an absurdity. 1t is too ridicu-
lous for anything. The ladies of that
date dressed as richly and becomingly
as the ladies Of the present generation.
At my own last reception at the White
House l wore a gorgeous pink satin from
Paris with point d'Alencon lace, and it
was this dress my great-grandniece wore
at asreception in the neighborhood last
week, and without the slightest altera-
ton. have given her several of those
beautiful Paris robes which served me
at the White House, one of which l
wore at the inaugural ball, an elegant
white brocaded silk, which was present
ed to me by Commodore Kearpey of
the Navy. And have seen it stated
that l was dressed on that occasion in
black dress with black cloak. The
idea is too ridiculous for anything"
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1889-03-14

AND now comes the report that James
S. Robinson, of Kenton, Ohio, would like
to be First Assistant Postmaster General.
Of course. Bill Bell, of Newark, is the
only man in Ohio who has ever rivaled
James as an office seeker. After filling
about all of the offices of Licking county,
William moved on Columbus, and for a
dozen years the offices of Secretary of
State and Railroad Commissioner provi-
ded him with livelihood. In fact, for
almost twenty years Democratic ticket
in Licking county without Williams
name on it was rarity. James has been
in Congress two or three terms and can
didate for nomination divers other times,
Secretary of State on three or four occa-
sionS, and Railroad Commissioner. And,
come to think of it. another Ohio candi-
date for First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral can not be charged with modesty in
the pursuit of Office, whatever else may
be said of him.

A TERRIBLE MISFORTUNE.

1t is calamity of the direst kind to
feel that ones physical energies are fail
ing in the prime of life-tO feel more
nerveless, more dispirited, weaker every
day. Yet this is the unhappy lot of hun
dreds who surround us. n source of re-
newed strength which science approves,
in behalf of which multitudes of the de-
bilitated have and are every day testify
ing, and which, in countless instances,
has built up constitutions snapped by
weakness and inlirmity and long unbene
fitted by other means, surely commends
itself to all who need Il tonic. Hostetters
Stomach Bitters is such medicine-pure,
botanic, soothing to the nerves, promo
tive of digestion and a fertilizer of the
blood. Dyspepsia and nervousneSs-the
first a cause, the second a consequence of
lack of stamina depart when course
of the Bitters is tried. All forms of ma
larial disease, rheumatism, kidney and
bladder trouble, constipation and bilious
ness are annihilated by this standard
family medicine. 3S-lm

IT is comfort to know that the Clerk
of Richland township is beginning to re-
alize that he made a mistake when he
permitted two of the Trustees to pay a
personal debt out of the township funds.
The money ought to be recovered; but,
in any event, all men who have any re-
spect for law, or who care aught for the
obligations men take upon themselves
when they assume public Office, should
bear in mind this fragrant violation of
law, and if either of these men ever again
offers himself for Office visit him with the
wrath he justly deserves.

help. My help cometh from the Lord,
which made heaven and earth. He will
not suffer thy feet to be moved. He that
keepeth thee will not slumber."

EyADING STATE TAXATION.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 5.-The
Supreme Court rendered a decision to-day
in the Ohio Greenback case of Stewart B.
ShOtwell, plaintiff in error, os Samuel A.
Moore, as Treasurer of Harrison county,
Ohio, in error to the Supreme Court of
Ohio Shotwell on the Saturday preced-
ing the second Monday in April of the
years 1881 to 1885 (the day on which re-
turns are made by the tax assessor with
drew his deposit in the bank at CadiZ, o.,
and then. after having it converted into
greenbacks, enclosed them in a package
and without leaving the bank returned the
greenbacks to the bank officer requesting
him to deposit the same in the bank safe.
The next week in each of these years he
would have the money placed to his credit
as general depOSitOr The object of this
proceeding was to evade payment of taxes
through the provision of the revised
statutes that obligations of the United
States shall be exempt from State or mu-
nicipal taxation. Suit was brought
against Shotwell to recover taxes ON the
ground that his conversion of his deposits
into greenbacks was done with the inten-
tiOn to defraud the tax assessors. The
Court quotes numerous decisions to show
that it has been held thaC such evasion
could not be allowed, but waving this
consideration holds that the selection of
a particular day on which to make tax
returns does not necessarily preclude
other periods of the year. The State of
Ohio has provided for this by taxing citi-
zens upon the capital used, according to
the average monthly amount employed,
and the Court says this is a wise and
equitable mode of determining how much
property is liable to taxation. The judg
ment below is affirmed. Opinion by JUS
