The Past Love.

l hate the bronze leaves and the red
And that pale flower with f1uttering stalk
That lined the shadowy poplar walk
Where our first words of love were said.
We loved the corn wSs in the ear;
Cay hunters made the hill. sides ring:
And, oh, love seemed a beauteous thing
And all We sighed for close and near
| hate the woodlands spicy suell.
Through whose VIVID sweets at dusk we
strayed
Arm linked in arm, by rock and glade.
While the heart whispered, An is well!'
Was mine the fault that love was brief
The wonder of a matchless day
Whose glory dimmed and died away
Like the red color on leaft
Was mine the fault that all that fame
Passed as a breath and ceased to be.
Heirs of a frutless hope were we;
Worthy of pity more than blame
We parted and the Icy gust
Stripped che dull forests yithered plume
And cast it through the eeh6ing gloom
In purple fringes mixed with dust,
Let winter sweep the desolate aises,
And make their stones his winnowing floor
Nay, let the green spring come once more
And light 1t with immortal smiles,

A whitewashing Report.

The report OF the committee appointed
by the Ocala convention to investigate the
charges against DR.. Macune, Col Living
ston and President Polk does not seem to
give entire satisfaction to all the members
of the convention. The dissatisfied members
think, apparently, that it is whitewashing
report, though it was not stated in our dis
patches yesterday what the nature
of their objections to it was. The
committee say that they found moth
ing to justify lack OF confidence in
either Polk, Macune or Livingston, but that
they regret the official connection of these
gentlemen with the senatorial contest in
Georgia.
1t seems, then, that Macune and Living.
ston took part in that contest in their
official capacity. 1t would be interesting
to have the committee state exactly what
these gentlemen did, and what SORT OF an
understanding they had with Mr.. Calhoun.
II any. The impression Is that they agreed,
a good while bsfore the legislature met. to
use their utmost efforts to get the alliance

Calhoun. They were bent on defeating
Gen. Gordon for the reason, apparently.
that be refused 10 be controlled by them
rather than because they thought that the
best interests Of the alliance would be
served by his defeat.
1t Is hardly probable that there will be
any further investigation OF the charges
against them. but the convention will ad-
| Journ with feeling that mistake was
made Ia not disciplining them little more
severely. There is pretty well grounded
belief, even among alliancemen. that there
is more in the fight which Macuue and
Livingston made against Gen. Gordon than
has yet come to the surface. In the course
of time, perhaps, the true inwardness Of the
fight will be made public.
Our dispatches this morning throw some
additional light on Macune's connection
with Mr.. Calhoun. According to his own
admission he borrowed $4,000 OF Mr.. Cal.

entire Terminal railroad system. 1t is not

Figurlng on Apportlonment.

There is no doubt that tbs republicans
intend 10 D2ss al apportionmsnt bill at this
session. II they had succeeded in the Novem-
ber elections in getting majority Of the
next House they would have left the work Of
making new spportionmeat TO the next
congress. IL they were disposed u be fair
they would leave that work for the next
congress TO do, notwithstanding the fact
that the House II the next congress IS demo-
cratic. because there is 10 DOUBT that the
census which Supt. Porter took last June is
manifestly very incorrect The question Of or
| deriug recount in the city Of New York is
now being considered BY congress, and IL it
"a decided 10 the affirmative other
cities, doubtless, will ask for recount
There is not much, If any, reason for doubt
ing that IA correct enumeration would show
that Georgia. for instance. has 900, 00J in
habitants In this census district the re-
turns of the enumerators shaw a falling of
in the population Of quite number Of the
counties during the last ten years. though it
is doubtful if there has been q loss il popu-
laton in any OF them.
1t is settled, however, that this congress
will make the apportionment. and the re-
publIcans are trying to fi0d out what mum
Der Of representatives will give the best
results for their party. Il is said that they
have reached the conclusion that 345 viii.
The number OF representatives now is 332
OF course, the republicans have in mind
presidential electors as well as representa-
tives in congress. II an apportionment
based upon S45 representatives Will give
them better chancs for winning the presi-
dency in 1892 than any other, tina: ~ the
number they will adopt.
IL has been insinuated several times that
Supt. Porter had the census taken with the
view Of gaining great advantages for the
Republican party, both as TO congressman
and presidential electors, but the insinua-
ton made no impression until it was pretty
clearly demonstrated that the populations
OF New York, Brooklyn. and Baltimore, all
democratic cities, had been incorrectly
enumerated. And it may be that he is not
guilty OF any wrong-doing in the matter,
but as there are good reasons for suspecting
that the enumeration is incorrect in good
many democratic strongholds, and as it is
clear that the republicans purpose to make
q partisan apportionment, it is the duty Of
the democrats in congress to oppose TO the
utmost any apportionment bill that is not
in every respect fair and just one. The
will stand for ten years, and
the country cannot afford to have it made
with the view Of serving partisan ends.

An CbliginR Man.

Let me see yo1r Encyclopedias Nuxvonica,
if OH please. said farmer, he stepped into
prominent book store of Pittsburg
YES, sir replied the clerk, although be
thought the inquirer looked like an unpromIs-
| ing customer
Stil he was polite. for the clerks had general
instructions 10 treat all callers with cons jera-
ton, aud besides, this particular CLERK had read
| somewhere Of literary men with agricultural
habits and Of a granger like appearance,
and II was barely possible that the now
asking TO See the encyclopedia was a man of
that kind.
1t does not always do TO judge people by the
clothes they wear, nor TO form conclusions from
the bayseed which may endeavor to conceal
itself cIInningly in their hair.
So reasoned this clerk as he displayed all the
twenty flour volumes OF the Encyclopedia Nux
yonlica to the investigative rustic and expati-
ated learnedly tho dead loads of erndition
which had been consumed In the production of
the great work.
The farmer looked slowly and carefully
through the volumes. one by one, and listened
to what the voluble CLERK said, but made no re-
ply or gave any indication Of a desire TO add
rhe set TO his literary possessions Finally the
clerk asked

But, IL you don't intend to buy an encvclo-

are you wasting your time and mine by looking

Jis bekase l alters try to oblge, sir, even at

added the clerk. as he sadly replaced the books
in their box, and wondered if he had better call
the police

tell you. You have a sign in the wiuder which
says, Ask 10 see our Encyclopedia Nuxvomica,'

indiana Object to ale Census.

In all parts Of the country there have been
objections to Supt Porter's census, and,
according TO our dispatches this morning.
one Of the grievances of the hostile indians
is that they have NOT been fairly counted.
Secretary Noble has control Of the census
business. Is it possible that his department
is incapable OF making fair countl
New York and other cities are making
vigorous protests against the census, and
the Indians are threatening war because of
en- enumeration which they say is false 1t
is about time for Senator Noble TO wonder
whether he knows anything about the CEN
sus business He took occasion in his an
nual report to congratulate himself on the
correctness Of the census, but most people,
doubtless. thought that there was no occa-
sion for congratulations
A false count in New York may cause
that city to get less number Of congress
men than she would be entitled to under
the new apportioHment, but the false count
of the Indians means the loss of much
needed bread and meat The supplies for
the Indians are based upon the number OF
them TO be clothed and fed, and If the emu
nerator returns less number than there
really is there are certain to be
empty stomachs among them. and an Ia.
dian with an empty stomach is a pretty
bad sort OF man. The government should
be certain that the Secretary OF the Int.
rior has made correct count OF the In
dams before it invites war with them.
1t may be safe to count New York out
of congressman, but it is not safe to count
the Indians out Of bread and meat.

The MORNING News has been urging the
legislature for years to pass some general
measure for the equalization of taxes. On
Friday MIR. Calvin introduced into the
House a bill to create board OF equali2a.
ton in each county, whose duty it shall be
20 review the tax returns and raise the
assessments where they are too low and
lower them where they are too high 1t is
pretty safe to say that there are very few
counties in the state in which there is not a
great deal of injustice done in the q ssess-
ments. This injustice is not purposely done
1t grows out of the willingness of honest
taxpayers to have their property assessed
at a fair valuation and determination of
other taxpayers TO pay as little OF the taxes
as possible
But Mr.. Calyin's bill does not go far
enough. There ought to be a state board
of equalization of assessments. Ia some
counties property is assessed at much nearer
its market value than in others, aud in the
towns the assessment of property Is much
higher in proportion to its value than in the
country.
II property were fairly and equally as
sessed throughout the state the tax rate
could be considerably reduced without
lessening the amount Of the states revenues.
There will be very determined OPPOSITION
doubtless, to Mr.. Oalvin's bill, and there
would be still greater opposition to bill
creating state board of equalization, but
the taxes will never be fairly assessed until
there is legislation providing for an eQualiza-
ton of assessments.

After years Of futile effort the Interna-

through the House, and it now goes to the
Senate for confirmation. 1t is virtually an
other phase OF the so-called "protectiven
policy. 1t practically puts an end to cheap
foreign literature by excluding foreign
pubhcations except at very high
price. 1t will greatly benefit the
rich publishers and, TO certain
extent. foreign authors. But it shuts out
