Washington Special.

washington SPECIAL
President Harrison was himself q
member of the Senate at the begin
ming of President Cleveland's term
and was witness to the sad
blunders that his predecessor in office made
in the way of appointments. These were
afterwards explained to be due to the fact
that the President did not have personal
knowledge of the appointees and took them
upon the recommendation of Senators,
members and others. This was the expla-
nation given for the Higgins, Thomas and
other such appointments. While President
Harrison has more confidence in tho Re-
publican Senators, he at the same time
does not intend to fill offices without
knowing the appointees. He intends as
far as possible to make careful investi-
CATION in each case and to make no mis-
takes in the choice of men to fill the more
prominent Offices.
The members of the Cabinet, with the
exception of Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Window,
have had no experience in public life in
Washington, and are little acquainted with
the men who are pressing for the places.
This throws extra work on the President
in the way of examining applications and
is one explanation of the delay in sending
in nominations. The advantage of this de-
liberate method is seen in the excellent
character of the nominees so far chosen.
There has been no ground given for criti-
cism, and even Democratic Senators vote
for immediate confirmation.

Wild Ride on q Bull

~
Siias Morton. of Kingsland was driving
q bull down Washington avenue late yes
terday afternoon, when dog ran out and
bit the animal on the hind leg. The ami
NAL at once became enraged, and rushing
at Morton, caught him on his horns and
threw him over his head. Morton landed
on the bulls back, and fearing a second at
tack, determined to stay where he was I'M
til assistance arrived. so he lay fiat and
held on TO the animals horns. But the
bull only became madden and with the dog
still at his heels ran towards the river.
When the Erie railroad was reached the
bull took the roadbed and tore up the
track at break-neck speed. Morton did
not dare to jump off, although his limbs
were repeatedly dashed against the tele-
graph poles that lined the track. The bull
then made for the railroad bridge.
Morton determined to drop If it killed
him. Before he had chance. however, the
animal left the track, climbed the bank.
and reaching Washington avenue, made a
dash for an opening in a shed. Morton was
too frightened to drop, and hung on while
the bull ran down the river bank and
plunged into the water. There Morton
fell off in dead faint and was rescued.
His clothes were torn to ribbons and his
flesh was terribly lacerated. He will re-
cover, however

The dressed-beef bill is now the law of
this State. 1t concerns us in this part of
the State perhaps more than any other. all
our trade being with Chicago, and having
in our own county one of the largest
slaughter-houses in the country. Its pur-
pose is to shut out all dressed beef from
every town and city in the State, and all
cattle must be inspected before killing in
the place where sold. Every town and city
must have an inspector, also every county.
This inspection" part is only pretext. as
at all stockyards there is now a very
thorough inspection of all cattle offered for

officers. The parties that went from this
county were too late, and the Governor
refused to veto it and it became law by
the three days" provision in the constitu-
ton. Our representatives in the Senate
and the House failed to notify anyone here
and no one knew of the bill until it passed.

the courts as soon as it is in force.

Twilight Reverie.
Beloved, in the firelight's glow,
When the dim night Is lowering low,
see your face within the light,
Between the evening and the night,
And dream the dreams Of long ago.
The mist hangs thick above the town;
Are dim beneath the lamplight's blur;
Above, the leafess branches stir,
And drop their gathered dampness down.
Strange thoughts are mine on such an eve,
When memories come my heart to grieve
dream that life is all unreal;
1 cast aside life's tame ideal,
And from my cherished faiths take leave.
God and His promises grow dim;
My soul drifts far away from Him;
Goes wandering, wondering through the
Following the phosphorescent light
That creeps around the world dark rim.
Black shadows ride the atmosphere,
And through their draperies lowering near,
My love, see your m0urnful eyes;
Your voice, with its deep melodies,
Low whispers to my listening ear:
"My darling, il is all a dream.
These things of life, they only seem,
My darling, you and are all.
Life and it's weird terrestrial ball
Float by us on a visions stream"
"My darling, in some blissfrl spot
Where BIRTH and death and pain are not,
We shall awake with kiss and laughter,
With no sure sorrow coming after,
And all this poor life's dream forgot"
''I feel your heart on mine repeating
The rhythmic measure of its beating,
We two in fieecy cloud boat sailing
On azure sky your tresses trailing
Eyes closed, with cheeksand lashes meeting"
$50 we shall drift the worlds above,
When sorrow shall a vision prove;
Smile il your sleep, my little one,
The shadow from your rest is gone;
My kiss, my touch shall wake you, love."
Across the room the freight falls,
Its shadows dance upon the walls.
No kiss, no touch-the dim old room
Grows DINNER in the twilight gloom,
The night has hushed its eerie calls!

Unto the friend Of years we say, farewell
And blindly seen, we give the parting hand;
We leave him thus, but who may understand
The sadness OF ourmeeting-when the knell

For long. long years within another land,
And then returned, beside his door We stand,
And give the old-time summons-who can tell
Familiar scenes around us; golden day
In well-remembered beauty, sweetly cheers

The swallow sings, as from her nest she peers,
Re-echoing the words we would not say,

Not an IndIsputable Claim.

sc LOUIE JIobe- DemOCrHt.
The mere fact that a man was removed
from office by Cleveland does not entitle
HIM TO reinstatement by Harrison. There
are other things to be considered; and the
new administration will certainly not
adopt the theory that such persons have
exceptional claims to favor. There are q
great many capable and deserving Repub-
icans in the country who have never held
an Office Of any kind.

A Plea to Time.
Otime, fly slowly now. pray.
What need of speedi Delay, delay.
Why haste today
Let not the mild March weather verge
To April yet nor April merge
Too soon in May.
Are not wings sometimes overfleeti
And are not first spring days complete,
And fair to greetl
When everywhere the warm sun weaves
Green nets of lacy little leaves,
Are they not sweetl
Then wherefore, wherefore haste away2
And yet, IL Is not that love not May,
I'd have y0u stay.
1t Is, ali well, pray you pause
At earliest budding time, because
Some sunny day,
When blossoms break for bird and bee,
A certain ship, far, far from me,
Speeds over sea;
And therefore, time, I'd have you keep
Your pinions folded now, and creep
Right lazily.
But once this ship has passed from sight.
Breathe deep. breathe long, for such flight
By day and night,
As never, never Glanced before!
Bring back my friend, from foreign shore,
On wings OF Light!

We keep one hallow'd spec.

Encircled by the stars above

Sugar-Making Time

n Tor the Sunday Journal.
Sugar-Maling Time.
Sometimes fancy slips the halter
And. unfettered, wanders free
Among memories OF childhood
That are ever dear to me;
And It's thus tonight 10 rambles
In homely. rustic rhyme
Mid the happy recollections
or the sugar-making time.
Oh well do remember
When old Winter lost his grip,
And the sugar-camp was opened.
How loved to watch the drip
or the drops of liquid diamonds
From the slender, hollow spiles
TO the vessels down below them
That were dimpled up with smiles.
And no topper ever fingered
Ger his bowl of flowing wine
With keener sense of pleasure
Than so often has been mine.
As drank from out the sweetest
And always thought the tree
That the small sap-sucker dotted
Ran the sweetest sap for me.
Oh see it all as clearly,
Just as though it were to-day
had seen the row of kettles
In its bed OF stone and clay;
And again 1 idly fashion
From the kettles clouds OF steam
Forms as fanciful and fieeting
AS the fabric Of dream.
And again the bluebird answers
To the fiicker's fretful call,
While hint of coming springtime
With the sunlight seems to fall,
As 1 wait until the vapor
Like q curtain is uprolled
For a glimpse OF silver bubbles
Dancing on sea Of gold.
And my pulses fairly quicken
With thrill of pure delight,
AS again / Join the revels
At the sugar-eamp at night;
And hear the merry laughter
Floating upward from the glen
Till the sleeping hills around us
Give the music back again.
Time has woven checkered figures
From the skeins of passing years.
Mingled wool of joy and sorrow
With the warp of smiles and tears;
But he never threads his shuttle
With such happiness sublime
AS he spun and spoiled from boyhood
In the sugar-making time.
