These observations have inspired Herr
Strauss to make nav dance music. In
the interest of humanity and Of the
sorry old bachelors who lie bleaching
along the sands of time, he has made

new dance of the future without noise,
without collisions. without breathless
rspidity. but with the easy grace OF edu-
Gated legs and music-inspired souls, the
modest and blushing bachelor may release
his DER burdened heart and send forth
winged words on their mission Of
love. Herr Strauss may love
music well but he loves mankind more.

A DREAM.

dreamed had hard words with you
Last night, dear love, know not why
Some trivial word or act Of yours
Had reused my anger and when
Awoke, my heart and brain
We're smarting with the wrong and pain.
rdreamed your eyes-those tender eyes
Looked coldly, sternly into mine,
And in the accents Of your voice
Was no conciliating sign,
And yet, It's strange, do not know
What twas that chafed and yexed us so.
Forgive me, Lowell had forgot;
Dreams are as treacherous as our Joys,
And, dreaming, remembered not
That for three years your blessed voice
Has silent been, and daisies white
Have bid your sweet eyes from my sight.

THE bill Of Senator Frye is a subsidy
blu pure, simple and undisguised. II
there were not a surplus Ia the treasury
the Frye, the Blair and other bills Of like
character would not be thought Of The
sole desire Of some OF these liberal
statesmen seems to be TO get rid Of the
idle surplus lying in the treasury
vaults. There are many plans for
restoring our merchant marine,
but certainly the simplest and most nat
ural is TO modify the navigation laws SO
as to place American merchants on an
equal footing at sea and in our ports
with their foreign rivals, with those
rivals who absorb our commerce and for
whom we light and buoy our harbors
Our merchants should have the right TO
buy ships in the cheapest market rather
than allow foreign shippers to carry So
per cent. Of our freight. That is
the alternative we have to face. Either
grant registers to foreign-built ships or
allow foreign built ships, with foreign
owners foreign goods, foreign shippers,
foreign capital aud foreign flags to carry
our goods 20 and fro between this and
other countries That seems more
reasonable plan that to attempt to buy
the commerce of the world, to attempt to
make up the losses Of mer-
chants who trade against re-
strictive and prohibItory laws.
1t is estimated that the Frye bill will
take $40. 600 600 from the Treasury. This
great sum will surely go into the pockets
OF the subsidy hunters, but there is no
assurance that IL will restore commerce.
II may not be to their interest to restore
commerce, it win surely be to their inter
est to claim subsidies from the gov.
eminent IS large and long as
possible They would never advance
beyond the baby state ~ industry.
Is it worth $40, 600, 600, drawn from the
peoples pockets by system Of taxation
which costs them $e4O. 600, 600 per year
TO restore our merchant marine2 Can the
people afford TO pay that immense sum
rather than remove the restrictions.

Fr-sFonrrARY BAYAnD made notable

Ex-SEcRLTARY BAYARD made a notable
speech in Philadelphia last night. Mr.
Bayard has the faculty Of stating the
we'll known and even automatic truths in
a terse and convincing way He always
commands attention by his fne personal
appearance, while his eloquence and logi-
cal argument win the confidence and
secure the appreciation Of all fair
minded men. Among other things he
said
The moment we believe that the taking
Of public property for private use can be
justified we have consented to the en-
trance Of a short wedge that win cleave
us-we have consented to embarSing on
ship on which other nations have been
carried TO their destruction.
Some men hold that the iron trade
must be maintained in this manner and
some that the shipping trade must be
maintained from the public Treasury.
That is taking public property to main
tain private enterprises The statement
merely, shows that it's unconstitutional
and the Supreme Court Of the United
States has declared that such transac-
tion was 'legalized robbery Referring
to another evil Of the present system Of
taxation for the benefit OF the several
classes and the influence Of such theory
on the Members Of Congress Mr.. Bayard
said:
Go to the halls Of Congress and End
how much individual independence there
is There are men there who are not
ashamed TO speak for their own interests
whose aim is to protect unequal laws
Il lisa matter Of common notoriety
that men are sent TO Congress who rep
resent private interests. Even in tn,
Senate there are members who con
stantly advocate and vote for enter
prises In which they.are concerned. Their,
are members in the House who are tn,
notorious advocates Of the millionaias
enterprises Of the districts from which
they come. Such men cannot represent
the people, they represent first
last and all the time, the millionaire
enterprise, the infant industry" Thel
advocate class legislation and the taxation
Of the many for the benefit Of the few.
