I am sitting I'm the shadows
OF the twilight soft and gray:
My eyes are turned toward the east,
For my heart Is out that way
Fond fancy spans the distance
As u bridge would span "A stream,
And h long years of my exile
Pass before me like IA dream.
From my cabin I'm the mountains.
From Montana's lonely wastes.
Like a weary Hedging tn its nest
My longing spirit hastes.
! seek my old log homestead,
Enter in and tax my place,
And they hear me not nor see me,
Though I'm with them face tai face.
The household group is gathered
Around the hearth-fire bright:
They are talking Of IN absent on.
And wish him home to- might.
All his follies are forgotten
And the faults they used to blame
Are turned tO praises ON their lips
When mentioned with his name.
The old clock on the mantle
Rings out the hour of prayer.
The good old book il read aloud
To silent listeners there,
And at its close these words swell mp
From fond hearts. warm and true:
God guard and guide the wandercr
And bring him safely through.
And yet there is 9th scene
THAI make my heart beat fast.
A gentle girl is standing where
My love and l met last:
Dear old-tine love: her face Is fixed
To greet the western star;
While half dispsiringly she cries:
80 near, and yet So far.
She tells her story to the winds
That wander Idly by;
She bids them bear IL to my ear
And wait her back reply.
She ASKS how long she'll have TAI wait.
But the hot tears gushing DER.
Dissolve the scene before me,
And l hear and see NJ more.

OF the twilight red and gray,

But my heart is far away;

THE all-knowing newspapers declare
that the president-elect's inaugural will
be largely devoted to the development
of his southern policy" and confrma-
ton of these reports is found in a re-
ported caucus of republican senators
and agreement upon a line of action
relating to the political condition
south. We find an existing phase of
the southern question presented in an
article from the New Y ork Independent,
which we publish without abridgment.
The methods in South Carolina, at
least, which have supplanted the use of
the shotgun for suppressing the black
vote and maintaining a solid South are
briefly but clearly described. Varia-
tons of the South Carolina plan are
employed in other Southern States,
naturally republican, to keep the demo-
cratic line unbroken. Whether or not
the southern question will be the lead
ing subject Of General Harrison's inau-
gural discourse, the facts unquestion-
ably justify whatever prominence he
or the senators may give so grave
matter.

The New York Herald is not exactly
a republican paper, but we believe it is
right in the following respecting an
extra session: sit was one of Mr..
Cleveland's most serious mistakes that
he did not summon congress to confer
with him as soon as he entered the
White House. But he came in with a
fixed contempt for congress, which he
regarded as bore and more of a him
drance than help. If Mr.. Harrison
is guided by the wisest leaders of his
party he will not make this mistake. :"
Those four new states that have so
long been knocking at the doors of the
Union and denied admission should
be given the months intervening be-
tween April and December to put their
state machinery in motion and present
their senators and representatives at
the opening of the regular session next
winter. And there are matters of vital
national concern that have ripened off
in the heat of many years discussion,
and the harvest should be gathered.
The revision and readjustment of the
tariff is one of these and the chief 1t
will be an immense advantage to
another seasons business if manufac-
turers and tradesmen and the country
at large can adjust their plans and cal

CABINET rumors still center around
the name of Blaine. That he has been
offered the portfolio of the state de-
partment is hardly a matter of doubt.
The last rumor is that the question of
his acceptance hinges on the character
of his associates. The necessity for
strong lawyer in the Off e, if Mr.. Blaine
is chosen and accepts, is admitted and
will be supplied in the selection of the
first assistant. Senator Sherman's cool
temperament, his clear and dispassion-
ate speech on Samoan affairs, having
also the true ring of American indie
pendence and resolution, mark him as
a man combining qualities of the states
man and lawyer that would require no
buttressing from a subordinate. Sem
ator Evarts won laurels at Geneva that
are still green. Neither of these men
would need mentor in the state de-
partment.

THE president has approved the bill
creating department of agriculture,
and the representative of Americas
greatest industry will henceforth have
seat in the cabinet instead of among
the seeds and live stock of the ag-
ricultural department An eighth
perplexity is added to the seven
which have made life miserable for a
president-elect from November to
March. Norman j. Coleman, COM
missioner of agriculture, is Nominated
for the first secretary of the new de-
partment. Vermont is the first agri-
cultural as well as republican state in
the Union. She is clearly entitled to
two portfolios, and we respectfully COM
mend to General Harrison's consider
alton the name of Brother Tinkham for
his secretary of agriculture.

Tin Plates.--Again.

The Argus and Patriot recently pub
lished an extraordinary article on tin
plates and the tariff, in which, among
other absurdities, it said substantially
that even the low rate of duty now laid
on importations of this article is seri-
Gus check on the growth of the canning
industry of this country, since it en-
hances the cost of the cans in which
food products are exported and to
that extent cripples the ability Of
American Gamers to compete, in the
somewhat sonorous phrase of the free
traders, " in the markets of the world"
A correspondent wants to know if the
Argus point is not well taken. 1t
was indeed the strongest point in the
article, and by its strength the value
and trustworthiness of our contempo-
rary's other statements may be esti-
mated. Granting the assumption of
free-trade theorists that the tariff tax
is in all cases added to the cost of an i'm
ported article, we showed the argus
and Patriot, in the discussions of this
subject during the late canvass, that the
existing duty adds about one-fourth of
a cent to the cost of can. If the
duty shall be made protective, as the
senate bill proposes to make it,
the added cost would be about one-half
a cent a can. This tax, in its worst
phase, should not seriously hamper
an industry in which America has so
great natural advantage as in the pro-
duction of food. But is there any tax
at all? In cans made from imported
tin the law allows to exporters q rebate
of nine-tenths of the duty, so that for
every dollar of cost the tariff adds to
the cans in which food products are eX-
ported ninety cents are paid back to
the exporter. Now what becomes of
the Argus' point?" And yet it was
the strongest point in its whole argu-
ment. This is not complimentary to
our contemporary discussion OF eco
Monies, we admit, but that is the fault
of the argus economic writer His
statements were sheer Pigments of the
Imagination, and his facts have no tan
gible existence. But it was a pretty
strong free-trade argument. neverthe-
less, as free-trade arguments 90.

THE Samoan conference between
representatives of the United States,
Germany and Great Britain, in Wash.

cause the United States could not as

the amenities of diplomatic phrase and
couched in plain United States, meant
the assumption of arbitrary control of
Samoan affairs by Germany The con-

THE great strike of street-car en-
ployes in New York city has resulted
in victory for the companies. The
strike lasted eight days and threw over
six thousand men out of employment
during that time. The tie-up included
nineteen street-car lines and involved
a loss Of S250,000 to the companies and
500, 900 to the men. The movement
was another Of those gigantic blunders
which have marked the record of the
Knights of Labor for some years past.
That the strike would be failure was
evident from the first. 1t came at a
time when there were hosts of idle
workmen in the city ready to step into
the strikers shoes; the men were not
skilled laborers and very little time was
required TO break in new hands, and
the companies were at the beginning
of a new year--the best possible time
for starting with new employees. For
these and other reasons the strike did
not succeed, and on Tuesday of last
week was declared "off " by the ex-
ecutive board of the Knights of Labor.
The men at once jumped for their old
places, but were informed by the COM
panies that they must apply just as
other new men, and that they would be
taken back only when there were
vacancies.

situation of the temperance cause at
the present time in its relation to legis-

in Massachusetts, New Hampshire,

New Hampshire will vote in March
and Pennsylvania in June. An
active canvass will be made. the
progress of which will be watched with
interest all over the country.
