She is waiting in the darkness, she
is waiting by the door, and she hears
the sad sea roaring as it beats the
sandy shore; and she hears the night
bird crying and the wailing of the
trees, and upon her fevered forehead
gently blows The southern breeze; but
IN vain she stands and listens for the
coming of the one, who to her is prince
and hero, who is brighter than the
sun. Close the door, oh, weeping
lady, close the door and weep alone,
to the sighing of the branches and the
oceans sullen moan; to the screaming
of the night bird. to the sobbing of the
rain, as it falls like tears from heaven
splashiug on the window pane. Let
your eyes this night be rivers and your
hair a mourning veil, let your soul
float out to heaven in wild despair
ing wall; for the footsteps of your hero
do not echo on the shore and tonight
you'll not see him though you are
waiting at the door, and you will not
hear the music of the voice you loved
so we'll, you will only hear the moan
ing Of the oceans restless swell Close
the door, oh weeping lady, look no
more for him you love, better look for
hope and comfort to the sombrs SKY
above; to your side yorr love and
hero all your watching cannot win, for
he tried to paint red The town, and the
run him in.

The mariners compass, according to
the best authorities, was invented by
the Chinese, possibly before the
Christian era; was communicated by
them directly or indirectly to the early
Arabs, and through the latter was in
troduced to the Europeans, who had
adopted it pretty generally by the be.
ginning of the fourteenth century.
The claims of Marco Polo or
of Flavio Gioja to either its
invention or is introduction have long
been exploded. The power of the
loadstone to communicate polarity to
iron is said to be noted in Chinese
dictionary finished A. ID. l2l, and the
first explicit mention of the compass
in navigation occurs in the Chinese
encyclopedia Poei-wen yun-fou, where
it il stated that under the Tsin dynasty
"a. ID. 26o) there were ships directed
to the south by the needle. Among
the Chinese distinguishing mark is
still fixed on the magnets Southern
pole, as in European compasses upon
the northern one. The earliest def
mite mention Of the use of the compass
among the Western nations occurs in
Alexander Neckams treatise, ''De
Utensilibus, written in the twelfth
century. He there speaks of a needle
carried on board ship, which. being
placed ON a pivot and allowed to take
ITS own position Of repose, shows
mariners their course when the polar
star is hidden. When and by whom
the card was added are mere matters
Of conjecture, but the thirty-two
points into which it is divided were
recognized at least as early as the time
of Chaueer, ho in 1891 wrote: Now

partiez by tbi szymutz, in signiEcacion
Of Xiii parties of the world, al be it
80 that ship men rikne thilke partiez
in XXXii. The Chinese, it may be
mentioned, make the number of
points on the compass twenty-four,
reckoning from the south pole.

During the recent sessions in this
city Of the United States Senate Com
mittee OH Relations with Canada, A.
n. Towne, Vice President and Gen.
eral Manager of the Southern Pacific,
was invited to answer number of
questions in regard to competition
with the Canadian Pacific. Mr..
Towne has embodied his views in All
open letter to the committee. which
has been printed in pamphlet form.
The writer suggested that Sections
4 aud of the Interstate law be re.
pealsd. He thinks the clauses pre-.
venting pooling works an injury to
the railroads and people as we'll. Mr.
Towne uses the following language:
II would accordingly respectfully
nrge on your honorable body that our
relations with Canada render proper
and just a suggestion that Congress
revoke a provision of the law which
prohibits pooling, and thereby de.
prives American carriers OF enc means
Of defense against their Canadian
rival. Even in the event of legisla.
tion on the lines 30 clearly laid down
in the language l have quoted from
the Hon. Thomas M. Cooney, believe
the interests of the people, as well as
the railroads, could be fully protected
by placing the pooling organizations
under the scrutiny of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, who could ex-
ercise like regulative functions in
reference thereto as now delegated to
them by Congress in matters pertain
ing to interstate traffic. Finally, /
believe such organizations would facil
itate the administration of the Inter
state Commerce law and tighten the
ardueus labors of the Interstate Com
mission. Such Governmental scrutiny
would be an assurance of justice to the
railroads and safety to the people. and
would, under the lash Of public
opinion, soon force fractions and un-
scrupulous roads into reasonable
attitude, for it would surely develop
that tho road declining to cooperate in
the maintenance of proper competi-
tive conditions 'contemplatss some
wrong against some competitor or the
public
Regarding the Canadian Pacific,
Mr.. Towne writes as follows:
al believe that this Government
should not gran. any concessions to
foreign carriers that can be used to the
prejudice of or domestic interests.
l believe that a railroad system
built by foreign power as military
measure, and with an avowed object
of promoting trade between the prov
inces Of the country that created it,
by withdrawing their trade from the
United States; whose further object is
by subsidies on land and sea to divert
from US to the Canadian route the
traffic belonging to the North Amcri-
can Continent and the Orient on the
one hand and Europe on the other, as
we'll as that between Transpaciic and |
Transatlantic countries, rhould not be
favored where favors can be withheld.
1t should not, for example, be per-
mitted to promote its cherished OBJ
jects by the use, or rather abuse, OF
our customs laws regarding transporta
tion. These laws were intended to
facilitate the handling of exports and
imports by American merchants and

KANSAS republicans think them
selves wonderfully cute. cunning and

have an idea that the highest duty they
owe to themselves and the state, is to
pile up stupendOus political majorities
and then crow cockadOOdle-wise over
the miserable handful of democrats
they have showed under" They
make a great hullabaIoo over the
Waterloo" victory they have achieved
and think themselves entitled to the
earth and the fullness thereOf--fullness
Is especially desirable. Their AFRO
gance and omniverous craving for
everything In sight has Disguised the
administration, and the result is they
get nothing. IL they had half the
shrsWdness they fancy themselves
possessed of, they would go out of the
banner state business, knock their
beastly and assinine majority in the
head and put Kansas in the list of
doubtful states. That would he

IL would be the highest type of politics

be happy and the political goose would

Superintendent Porter made her his

of some malicious busybody, Secretary
Noble who is extremely nervous just
now about the character of his subor-

quested her dismissal. General Por-
ter begged to keep her, praising in the
most extravaganza style her faithful
ness, skill and ability as private .secre-
tary, but all to no purpose. She must
go. She was only woman whose
good name was furnished by associa-
tion in business way with a shrewd

that town, were happily married last
brides father in the Indian Territory.
They arrived in this city last evening,
and left on the midnight train for a
two weeks visit in Chicago, after which
they will keep house in Hartford, The
marriage was mild sort of surprise to
Mr.. Bucher's many friends who hardly
looked for it so soon. He made visit
to his aGianced about two weeks ago in
the Indian Territory to which place
her father, DIR. Sutton, of Hartford,
moved about two months ago To ill a
government post, taking bis family
with him. While there, the marriage
took place. The bride is young lady
of uncommon loneliness of character,

ria, having been a pupil at the college

proven himself the possessor of IN

No Baekbone-Plain Talk for the city
Council.

No Backbnne-Plain Talk for the City
Council.
There seems to be some difference of
opinion as to the propriety of voting
upon the question of sewerage and it
is question for greater consideration
whether even majority of the voters
of city have right to say whether or
not minority of the people shall en-
joy the legal privileges granted them
by the legislature of the state. There
certainly is no warrant in law for an
election of this kind. The city council
in passing a resolution to submit the
sewerage question to a vote of the peo-
pie were no doubt acting in good faith
but at the time believe they were ig-
norant of its effect. They were un-
doubtedly seeking to relieve themselves
of a responsib litY which they shrank
from. They propose to ask the people
to decide upon a matter that should
rest solely upon their own decision. If
the question of sewerage is to be put
to vote of the people in view of the
law and the present necessity for the
same, it will be characterized as a
measure without authority of law and
display of weakness on the part
of the city government. The
mayor and council will simply be ask
ing the people to decide whether an
executive power has right to carry
out the virtual requirement of the
state legislature. There is not much
difference of opinion among the peo-
pie of this city in regard to the actual
necessity for some kind of q system of
sewerage. The mayor and council
have not only admitted this fact in
dividually, but they have committed
themselves collectively to sewerage
policy. They must know that the
losses sustained by the property hold
ers every year is much greater than
the cost Of sewerage. The destruction
of buildings caused by the water be-
meath the floors, and the numerous in
commences and expenses for cleaning
water closets, to say nothing OF the un
gOdly stencil that everywhere abounds
throughout the alleys of the city, ought
certainly to furnish the city authori-
ties with sufficient excuse for doing
their duty. There is no question but
that a majority of the taxable wealth
of the city is represented by people who
want sewerage, but as TO the kind of
system required and the ex-
tent of the financial. resources
of the city there appears to be some
difference OF opinion. The fact of it is,
the same condition of things exist here
as nearly always does in other cities in
regard to matter of this kind, and if
our city council proposes to wait for
the people to unite upon any particll-
lar plan or foz all TO admit that they
are ready to be taxed for the entsEpxise,

THE appointment of e.. b. Raum of
Illinois to the pension bureau came as
n sort of surprise to the public, as his
name had been mentioned in connec-
ton with the place but once about
three weeks ago. AS commissioners of
internal revenue for seven years from
1876 10 1888. he acquired the experience
in administration affairs that quail
lies him to handle the business of the
pension Office i'm such a way as to pre-
vent any further embarrassment to the
president. Democrats say that since
lSsS he has been the attorney OF the
whisky ring. That is probably true to
some extent, and no doubt the presi-
dent was fully aware of the fact, and
thought that n double benefit would
result from his appointments; he would
be put where he could be no longer of
any service to the whisky ring, and the
government would secure the services
Of an experienced, able ana efficient
pension commissioner. He assumed
the duties of his Office to-day.
