Parting.

George TrimbEe Davidson in The 77.eater.
IT'S the end of your summer vacation,
Tonight you must bid me good-by.
1t seems strange, though knew separation
Must come with the end OF July;
Is il wrong if weep when you leave me!
IL it wrong If think of you more:
II would not be wrong, oh, believe me,
If had but met you before.
Tonight. as we walked Ia the flicker
OF lights that burned dim by the sea
l felt as my heart-beats came quicker
The meaning OF parting TO me:
From to-day, but one step TO the morrow,
But word and my day dream is DER,
Brief joy dearly bought by long sorrow,
Oh, would had met you before
Like tendril of ivy entwining
Some column forgotten, thy love
Has grown round my heart, and repining
Seems like knocking the sunlight above;
But 'twers better never had met you
Than 70 think of YOU thus evermore,
Time was when / need not forget yon.
Why did not meet you before!
The last strains of the music are dying
The last rays of the moon kiss the sea
The last moments or bliss are swift-hying
That will never again come to me;
For the last time thy strong arms are guiding
My steps as We swing o er the floor,
To the magic OF Waldteufel gliding
As oft as We have glided before.
The last throb OF the music is ending
Like heart that is breaking it dies
Above me thy dear face is bending.
There IS something like tears In your eyes:
Aud must we at such times dissenble
Aud smile when the heart is 30 sore!
God help Us pray and | tremble,
O, would had met you before.

Death Of Judge CHISHOLM.

Judge Chisholm, who died in New York
yesterday morning was man of great and
varied talents. He was also an excellent
citizen aud model husband and father.
lie early took high rank at the bar OF this
city, and before he had reached middle life
he was one OF the acknowledged leaders Of
his profession.
his professional dusies as the legal ad-
wiser Of the Plant system and the Southern
Express Company required him number
of years ago TO make his home in New
York and after mis- removal to that city he
became Vice-president of the Plant system
and director III several other great rail
road corporations. In all the positions TO
which he was chosen he displayed conspicu-
uous ability. Among men fDmous for their
shrewdness 10 the handling of great enter
prses he made himself respected.
his health was never robust, but he had
al iron viii, and he was often giving his
attention to his duties when he ought to
have been in bed His devotion to duty
doubtless shortened his life. Had he needed
the warnings Of his failing physical powers
he might have lived to q good old age, but

enterprises needs such warnings. Interested
and absorbed in the matters presented con-
staatly for their consideration they 20 on

kanawha county in West Virginia has
suddenly attained an unique sort of promi-
hence because of very remarkable pecul-
iarity Of its Legislators. They unanimously
refuse to be elected as presiding officers.
Hon. James II. Ferguson of Kanawha
county one OF the ablest members elect of the
West Virginia legislature, has published a
card announcing in advance that he is not and
will not be a candidate for the speakership
Of that body. He regards his place as on the
floor Of the House, where the people put
him, and would regard it as a desertion OF
duty to do otherwise" State Senator-elect
c. c. Watts OF Kanawha county has also
published card stating that he is not a
candidate for the presidency Of that body.
He says his senatorial district needs legisla.
ton more than il does honors, and that he
will content himself with staying on the
floor and working in that direction rather
than seeking personal preferment. This ap-
pears to be somewhat premature avoidance
of honors that may not be actually impend.

mendable disposition to stick to duty that is
lamentably rare.

Before the Nineteenth Century club in
New York recently, Mr.. DARRELL Greenleaf
Thompson delivered discourse on "Ameri-
can Morals and Manners" in the course of
which, he said that Stealing is the princi-
pal vice Of the American people. Take the
average employe, and he is continually SEEK
ing to SEE how little work be can actually do
for the money his employer pays him In
political life there is even a worse state of
things. A thief will make good politician
You will be Just as safe with him as with
the average politician, if you only can keep
him away from the treasury box" How true
the latter part may DO is an open question.
But the average employe is not usually
more disposed to get his salary for as little
work as possible than the employer is TO get
his work for as little salary as possible.
Still there are dishonest people in both
classes

Political Enemies eut Personal Friends

Many stories are Told OF the friendship be
tween MIR. Thurman and Mr.. EdInunds says
the New York star. Probably the Judiciary
committee of the Senate was never so strong as
when hr. Thurman and Ar. Kdmunds were
fellow members Of il. On all great measures
not involving party diff -reaces they fought in
unison. Together they drafted the dill 10 com
pei railroads 10 fulfill their % iigations - The
national government; together they forced +;
through congress and caused il TO become q
law IL was IN regard to the debates THIS
Oil that Mr. Edmunds wrote his famous letter
in which he said that Jay Gould never in
peril in the Senate. but that Blaine started up
from behin1 tfoutd's breastworks musket in
hand This made Mr.. Blaine Mr.. Edmunds'
bitter enemy, whereas he likes Mr. Thurma1
who WAS equally eficacious in passing the bill in
question. In one thing they did not agree-the
civil rights bill, called. Mr. Edmunds sup
ported them; Mr.. Thurman fought them with
all his powers as n great constitutional lawyer
Mr Thurman has since had the satisfaction OF
seeing the Supreme c lurt adopt his arguments
almost word for word, and decide in accordance
with the eta laid down by MIN as 70 the con

important meeting it promises TO be. The
meeting will be the twenty first annual
one. and the list Of subjects that will be dis
