The Summer Man.

From the Boston Evening Transcript
The summer girl adds yearly zest
To paragraphers' lance,
But why not change the theme, and give
The summer man chance?
That desolate, neglected wretch,
Whose wife and children roam
By mountain streams OF curling surf,
While he stands guard at home.
Where empty rooms italicize
The voiceless, silent place, 4
And millers hit. unchallenged, by Ii
To disappear in space. ~
Imagination falsely paints ~.
The freedom Of his way ~
ADJUSTMENTS, dinners and the like, &
With voyages down the bay. ~
That liberty which thrills to feel
the curb of home removed,
And rove at will without restraint
In paths not quite approved.
Where latch-key's click strikes no remorse
However lats the hour,
And solitude alone holds sway
Within my lady's bower.
Reality such romance priclzs,
Its bubble is q sham;
A solemn lone, domestic tramp
Heaven help the summer man,
j. B. ALDEN.

The eutterworth Option Bill.

Representative Butterworth is trying to
get the speaker to give him two days for
the consideration of his option bill. The
farmers are behind this bill, they having
the idea that speculation in farm products
depresses the prices of those products. But
have they studied carefully the effect of
speculation in farm products on the prices
of those productsl If they have not they
should do so ut once, because the bill they
are asking to have passed to prevent such
speculation may be more harmful than ben
efcial to them.
1t is fact that the millers of the north
west favor the Butterworth bill. Why? Do
they want wheat to be cheaper or dearer?
Cheaper, of course. The cheaper the raw
material is the better it is for them. They
know that speculation tends to keep up
prices. If it tended to make prices lower
they would oppose the Buttsrworth bill, not
favor it.
If the cotton farmers will study the
markets carefully they will fad that specu-
lation in cotton keeps up the prices OF
cotton. In England, as the summer season
approaches, the spinners talk OF running
their mills on short time, with the. view of
alarming the spectators in cotton, and
causing fall in prices. They are well
| aware that the result of speculation is to
make prices higher.
IL is a notorious fact that if il had not
been for future contracts cotton farmers
| would have received much less for their
cotton last year, and future contracts have
kept prices this year much higher than they
would otherwise have been. 1t is true that
there are times when speculation appears
to have bad effect upon prices, but the
better opinion is that farmers are, as a rule
| greatly benefited by it. If this opinion is
correct one are not the farmers making q
great mistake in urging the passage of the
| Butterworth bills

The Republican Idea.

Senator Blair expressed the republican
idea on Monday. when, in reply TO re-
mark Of Senator Reagan that the tariff bill
Disseminated against the south, he said
that Senator Reagan ought not to cast i'm
putations upon 1.-THE government to which
he owed his life" and that he was "indulg-
ing in a whine when he ought
to be shouting his thankful
ness" Senator Blair and his
brother republicans think they have right
to rob the south in every way they can, be-
cause the south was defeated in the war of
secession. They do not seem to think that
the south has any right to participate in thu
government; that sh3 ought to be thankful
for anything the north is willingto give her,
and that, instead OF complaining when in
justice is done her. she ought to feel that
she doesn't deserve as much as she gets.
1t is this idea of the Republican party, to
which Senator Blair gave expression. that
keeps alive whatever sectional feeling there
is. If the Republican party had permitted
it all bitterness arising out of the war would
have disappeared long ago. The rspub-
hcan organs aud leaders, however, continue

voice in public affairs and should be
snubbed whenever she attempts to protect
her rights.
The Republican party should understand
that the south doesn't intend to submit TO
treatment OF that kind. She is part of the
union, and is just as much entitled TO fair

The complaint that Senator Reagan male
was well oulded. Senator German came
to his support and declared that the tariff
bill Disseminated against tbs south in every
lice.
The other day, on the demand of western
farmers, binding Irvine was placed on the
free list. A year or so ago trust got con-
troll Of binding Irvine and made the
farmers pay very high
price for it. The putting of the twine on
the free list was a concession to the western
farmers and blow at the Irvine trust. A
southern senator proposed that jute and
jute bagging be put on the free list, 50 that
the cotton-producing farmers could have
cheap wrapping for their cotton. A trust
got control of all the jute bagging a couple
Of years ago and nearly doubled the price
Of it. The Senate refused, however. to
make to the cotton-growing farmers a
which it had made to the wheat
growing farmers.
This is only one instance of discrimina-
ton against the south. Many others could
be mentioned. The one to which Senator
Reagan especially called attention was the
free of duty, of machinery for
the manufacture of beet sugar in the north
west, while refusing to admit. free of duty,
for the manufacture of cane
sugar in the south. He also called attention
to the increase in the tax on cotton ties for
which the pending tariff bill provides.
The Republican party must get rid of the
idea that the south is not entitled TO the
same treatment in the making and admin
istering Of the laws as the north. No man
who eutertains that idea is fit to be a mem

The Maine Rivals.

Speaker Reed having been reelected by
larger majority than he received two
years ago, his admirers are making him the
subject Of a great deal Of thoughtess talk
Some of them are saying that, having re-
ceived such a hearty Endorsement from his
constituents, he will undertake to defeat
Blaine's reciprocity policy, a1d others de-
clare that nothing can prevent his comma
ton for President by his party in 1892 A
great deal of this talk will cease in a day or
two. l. will be found, probably, that consd-
cradle money was speat in Reeds district
to secure his reelection. Those who are
to be benefited especially by the
pending tariff bill could not afford
to have him defeated, because his defeat
would have been construed as a condemna-
ton of the high protection policy upon
which that bill is based. 1t is only reason
able to suppose, therefore, that they furn-
ished as much money as it was thought
would be necessary 70 give him majority
that would seem to be an Endorsement of
that policy.
1t is quite safe to say that Speaker Reed
will not attempt to defeat Blaine's recip-oc-
ity policy. That policy has been iucorpo-
rated in the tariff bill by the Senate. and it
is pretty certain that the House will agree
to it. 1t is probable that Reed would like
to defeat it, for the reason, principally.
that he does not like Blaine and
would like to see any policy that promised
to add to Blaines reputation defeated.
While he and Blaine are not openly at war
with each other, their relations are not
cordial. Blaine failed to say a single word
to help Reed in his campaign for reelection.
He made couple Of speeches in Maine be-
fore he retired to his summer home at Bar
Harbor, but neither of them was made in
Speaker Reeds district, and in neither of
them did he ellude to Speaker Rsed. This
conduct Of Blaine was, of course, construed
by Reeds friends as meaning that Blaine
did not care whether Reed was reelected or
not
1t may be that Speaker Reed has good
chance for the presidential nomination of
his party in 1892 With the extremists of
his party he is very popular, bat they are
not strong enough to dictate the nomina-
ton. If Blaine should be candidate he
would stand better chance of getting the
nomination than Roed, and 1t looks now as
if it were his intention to be a candidate.
The west will control the nomination. and
in the west he is much more popular than
any other once of the republican lenders The
western republicans are getting very tired
Of the high protection policy OF
their party. That was shown
very clearly by the promptuess
with which they accepted Blaine's reci-
procIty policy. Even in Kansas the repub-
licans in their state convention adopted a
resolution to the effect that they were OPP
posed to prohibitory tariff laws.
While Blaine and Reed, therefore, may
be considered to be rivals, Reed is not a.
well thought of by his party throughout
the country as Blaine. and if they should
both be candidates for the presidential
nomination of their party in 1892 Blaine
would have by far the better chance of
getting it.

Everybody noticed her as she came in the car
in it, and the other passengers wondered If she
wasn't the prettiest girl in her crowd when she
was young.
The little old lady had two letters in her hand,
and after she had given the conductor her
nckle, she opened one of them, at the same
time adjusting pair OF steel-rimmed specta-
Giles to her nose. AS she read the letter a smile
gathered ali over her face and then broke into O
laughing chuckle that everybody in the car
noticed. Another smile came, then laugh and
more smiles, and the letter was finished. The
