July-for you the songs are sung
BY birds the leafy trees among;
With merry carolings they wake
The meadows al the mornings break,
And through the day the iisp.ng breeze
Is woven with their tree-top glees.
For you the prattling, pebbIy brooks
Are full of tales like story books.
For you fragrant incense burns
W thin the gardens blossom-urns
Which tempt the bees to hasten homo
With honey for their honey comb.
The river like looking-glass,
Reflects the f1eecy clouds that pass,
Until it makes US almost doubt
If earth and sky aren't changed about.
July-for you, in silence deep
The world seems fallen fast asleep,
Save on one glorious holiday.
When all our books we put away
And every little mad and man
Is proud 10 be American!

After the Fourth.

The small boy of ycster morn
Was strong and stout OF limb;
Danger he laughed to scorn;
To-day what aileth him!
A crutch doth him support;
One arm is in sling;
His head is bandaged taut;
He may not play nor sing.
H face is scorched and black;
He hath but half nose;
One ear hath jumped the track
Both eyes are on the close.
Filled 10 the very crown
Is sufTering's bitter cup;
It hurts him to sit down,
1t hurts him 10 stand up.

Half speeches., whispers yet9

THEIR PAST RECORD.

Mr.. EDITOR:
Is it not rather noticeable fact that
there is nothing being said this year
with reference to some of those ques-
tions which so agitated the public mind
of our village at corresponding time
last year? Is it possible that all of
those matters which the present ad-
ministration of village affairs was elect
ed to correct and place in proper posi-
ton, have been successfully dealt with
and properly adjusted? We are rather
inclined to believe the negative of this
true, and this years administration has
been anything but brilliantly success
full one. Last year, so it has been al
legged, the village was run by the whisky
ring, and that said ring was guilty of
every species of misfeasance and NAL
feasance known to the criminal code.
The handwriting was placed upon the
wall in the shape of several pompous
contributions to the EXPOsITOR from
certain self-installed prophet, and the
corrupt gang were ushered out and a
new, intellectually brilliant and moral
ly pure party with their banners Eyes
and tickets too) bearing the motto
collect the liquor tax" their watch
word prohibition" was allowed to
march in and take possession of affairs.
But how'pro to error is human wis
dom; forno sooner was the new admin
istration nicely installed than it began
such weak. faltering, vaccillating
policy with reference to those matters
it had pledged itself to regulate, that it
at once engendered the contempt of all
neighboring municipalities and even its
hitherto faithful votarieS. 1t is need
less to recite the follies and inconsis-
tancies committed nor the tlagrant
favoritism displayed; they are matters
of public knowledge and comment.
Suffice to say that whereas. last year
every man engaged in the sale of IN
toXicants paid tax, this year under
prohibition" only four out Of the six
have paid a cent. Last year, money
that was expended upon our streets,
&c, this year has been used in the un-
successful prosecution of liquor dealers
Now, friends, if possible, let us prevent
our village being run after the manner
of our editors new printing press
rather let us put those at the helm who
are not carried away on any one idea
or theory, but fair-minded, leyel headed
men OF whom We have many.

TANNER REVISED.

One of the Cases Which Led to the Com
missioner's Removal.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 10-The Secretary of
the Interior has rendered a decision re-
vising the action of extension Commits
sione- Tanner by which that official
doubled the pensions of all persons draw
ing 81 per month for partial mon specific
disability" The order by Tanner was
issued in April to date back to his entrance
in Office. The rate for total disa bility in q
non-specific case is S. per month, for half
disa bIlity "a per month, and for one
fourth disability 81 per month. Tan
ner ordered that all persons
rated at the one-fourth should be classed
specific disability and receive half dis
ability rate. This would have doubled
the pensions of about $4,000 persons who
were then drawing $24 per year, and would
thus increase the pension paw ments about
three fourths of a million dollars per year.
Assistant Secretary Bussey, who render. d
the decision after consultation with and
OIL approval of Secretary Noble decide
that the Pension Commissioner had no
power under the law to make the change
proposed Tanners order was issued
without consultation with his superior
officers and was one of the official acts
which led to his removal

RESTORED TO FELLOWSHIP.

The Triennial COnclave Restores Recalci-
trant Knights to Fraternal Relations.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-At the session
of the grand encampment yesterday after
noon Past Grand Master James II. Hop
kins, of Pittsburgh, chairman of
the committee on Jurisprudence brough,
in a report which recommended tie adop-
ton of a resolution which began by re-
citing the passage of the resolution OF
three years ago that caused the trouble.
1t then pointed out that it was the duty of
the most eminent grand master to enforc
the terms set out in this resolution, and
that the grand commandery of the State
of Iowa had been disloyal in not obey in z
the edict OF the most eminent grand
master and were censurable for this action.
But the committee were of the opinion
that the grand commandery and subord-
mate communicates of Iowa had been
punished sufficiently in being suspended
from Templar intercourse with t:.c COM
manderies Of the other States and
the order generally throughout the
country and recommended that the
order interdicting all Templar in
tercourse with the grand command
cry of Iowa and the other Knights
Templar of the United States be no longer
considered in force. The recommendation
of the committee found immediate favor
with the m members of the grand encamp-
ment. Speeches were made explanatory
Ond in support of both sides and also in
which the love of each for the order was
proven most pronounced and ardent.
A love feast prevailed all sides
and amid considerable enthusiasm
the resolution of the committee was
adopted and the grand commandery of
Iowa was cordially welcomed back into
full mbership. The committee on the
location of the next conclave reported in
,avor of Louisville. XIV.

DEATH BY ELECTRICITY,

New York Courts Uphold the COnstitu-
tionality of the New Law.
AUBURN, N. Y. Oct. 10-Countv Judge
Davy filed his decision in the Kemmler
case yesterday morning. The case was a
ha beas corpus proceeding to test the con-
stitutionality Of the Electrical Execution
law. Judge Dsvy decided that the law
is constitutional and remanded the pris-
oner to the custody of Warden Duston, OF
Auburn prison, for the execution OF the
law.
kemmler is a wife-murderer and was
sentenced to be executed by electricity in
Auburn prison. He was the first man
sentenced under the new law providing
for the execution Of the death sentence
by means of an electrical current The
day for the execution was set, and the
electr. cal apparatus had already been set
up in the prison when proceedings were
taken to test the constitutionality Of the
law, thereby granting Kemmler a new,
though BRIEF lease Of life.
