INNS FALLEN.

Sweet Innisfsllen. fare thee well,
May calm and sunshine long be thineI
How fair thou art, let others tell,
While but to feel how lair Is mine.
Sweet Innisfallen, fare thee well,
And long may light around thee smile,
As soft as on tDst evening tell,
When first saw tha. fairy isle.
Thou vert too lovely then for one
Who had TO turn 10 paths of care,
Who had through vulgar paths 10 run
And leave thee bgight and silent there;
No more along thv shores to roam,
But on the worlds dim ocean tost,
Dream OF thee sometimes, as home
OF sunshine he had seen and .ost
Far better in thy weeping hours
To part from thee, as | do now,
When mist is DER thy blooming bowers,
Like Sorrows veil o n beauty's brow.
For though unrivaled till thy grace,
Thou dost not look, as then, too best
But In thy shadow seemst place
Where weary man might hope TO rest
Might hope to res. and find IN thee
gloom like Eden's on the day
he left Its shade, when every tree,
Like thine, hung weeping DER his way.
Weeping or smiling, lovely isle!
And still the loyeler for thy tears
For though but rare thy sunny smile,
'Iis heavens own glance when itappears.
Like feeling hearts whose joys are few,
But when, indeed, they come, divine
The steadiest light the sun e'er threw
Is Hieless TO one glance OF thine.

spending few days In Boston, has been called
upon 70 answer q great many questions about
the state OF Washington. some OF these ques-

and the Seattle man says that he has been kept
busy denying that IL raias twelve months in the

Another Ant Story

The following remarkable story, told
by an eye witness, is entitled to place
among the instances of intelligence
among the lower animals. A cook was
much annoyed to find his pastry
shelves attacked by ants. By careful
watch it was discovered that they came
out twice day in search of food, at
about 7 in the morning and 4 in the
afternoon. How were the pies to be
protected against invaders? He did not
haye long to wait, for at $50 o'clock
he noticed that off in the left hand
corner of the pantry was line of ants
slow y making their way in the direc-
ton of the pies. They seemed like a
vast army coming forth to attack the
enemy. In front was leader, who
was larger than any of the others, and
who always kept little ahead of his
troops.
They were of the sort known as
medium sized red ant, which is re-
garded as the most intelligent of its
kind, whose scientific name is F'ormica
rubru.
About 40 ants out of 500 stepped
out and joined the leader. The general
and his aids held a council and then
proceeded to examine the circle Of
molasses. Certain portions Oft seemed
to be assigned to the different ants
and each selected unerringly the point
in the section under his charge where
the stream of molasses was narrowest
The order to march was given, anc
the ants all made their way to a hole
in the wall in which the plaster wa.
loose.
Here they broke ranks and set abou
carrying pieces of plaster to the place
in the molasses which had been agreed
upon as the narrowest. To and fro
they went from the nail hole to tn,
molasses until, at II 80 o'clock, the,
had thrown bridge across. They thel
formed themselves in line and marched
over, and by II As every ant was eatins

The Alleged Treasury deficiency

Democratic papers were accustomed
during the Cleveland campaign to de-
nounce the Republicans for having
maintained high tariff through which
an unnecessary surplus was piled up
in the treasury. They have since
changed their tone and deplore the
bankruptcy of the treasury occasioned
by the extravaganza of a Republican
congress. Hon. Joseph G. Cannon,
the watch dog of the treasury" dur
ing the fifty-first congress, has stated
to correspondent of the N. Y. Press
some of the facts which puncture this
latest wind bag of the democracy.
With reference to the large increase in
the appropriations of the congress that
has just closed over the fiftieth, which
was Democratic congress, Mr.. Can
non says:
That at the outset this administra-
ton had to meet deficiency of about
S3OOOOOOO left over by the Cleveland
administration, which failed to provide
money enough to pay pension claims.
The appropriation for pensions for this
and the coming fiscal year explains
about S7OOOO,OO0 more Of the increase.
Again, for many years the Democrats
in the House either failed, or refused
to make adequate appropriations to
carry on the government under exist
ing laws calling for service without
reference to appropriations. We had
to meet contracts to build ships for
navy authorized by the Fiftieth Con-
gress, but not appropriated for by the
Cleveland regime. We had either to
do this or let the work of construction
of the navy cease and creditors of the
government go without pay. We pre-
ferred to pay our honest debts. The
Harrison administration, in strong con-
trast to the Cleveland regime, has been
applying the surplus revenues in the
Treasury to the payment of the public
debt. Its reduction is something re-
markable as compared with former
administrations. We have largely de-
creased taxation, it being reduced by
S55,OOOO0O per annum in the items of
sugar alone. The act which goes into
effec.. the first of next month will re-
suit in cheapening the price of this ne
cessity to the consumer by at least two
cents per pound. Our appropriations
to large extent have been made for
the payment of public creditors for
expenditures authorized by the Cleve-
land administration, but not appropri
ated for by it. Sixteen millions of the
increase goes to meet the refunding of
the direct tax to the states.

NEWSPAPER MUTATIONS.

Preston Times: If Donnelly would
but hire a competent person whose
duty it should be to step On his toes
and pull his coat tail whenever he has
said enough, he would become as use
full and influential as he is brilliant.
Midway News: St. Paul is Demo-
cratic, and consequently does not be-
lieve in the idea of protection. At the
same time it proposes to provide by
law that no horse shall be employed
on city work whose owner has not been
resident of the city at least four
months. Such legislation, in the coun-
try, is enough to make a horse laugh.
Hutchinson Leader: The immigra-
ton bill passed by the last Congress is
something that was very much needed.
1t shuts out contract laborcrs, insane
persons, paupers, criminals, polygam-
lists, etc, and any vessel known to have
Landed such persons will be subjected
to fine of not more than 81 600, and
be compelled to return such persons
to the country from which they were
brought.
Albert Lea Standard: We do not
believe in indiscriminate war against
the railroads, nor in legislation that
will cripple their usefulness; but they
should not be allowed to fix their own
terms nor to dictate what shall be their
profits on fictitious capital. More than
all they should absolutely be prevent
ed from discriminating between cities
or localities, and between individuals,
and the laws should be ample and suf-
fcient to compel a remedy of griev-
ances against them when necessary.
This is all and this is right.

Gently said that newspaper that told
the truth, couldn't be a pecuniary sue

times and under all circumstances tell
the whole truth about his members,
alive or dead, might not occupy the
pulpit more than one Sunday, and in
some cases might find it convenient to
leave town. The press and pulpit GO

"Sockless" Simpson, the Kansas

50 much news paper comment, said the
following in regard to interest rates:
Il believe in interest. When capital
has been accumulated it is no more
than right that it should be allowed to
earn an income by being put out at
interest. The effect of us1lry laws is
oppressive to the debtor. Let a man
make the best terms he can. The mo-
ment that you fix a maximum rate you
will put premium on extortion, for
men will avoid such law if it stands
in the way of bargain they want to
make, and then lender will always
charge higher price for his money on
account of the risk he takes by his I'M

MUSIC AS AHE IS SUNG.

Attending church not long ago in
All elegant church edifice where they
worship with taste in a highly aes-
thetic manner, the choir began that
scriptural poem that compares Solo
mon with the lilies of the field some
what to the formers disadvantage.
Although never possessing great
admiration for Solomon, nor consider
ing him suitable person to hold up
as shining example before the Young
Mems Christian Association, still a
pang of pity for him was felt when
the choir, after expressing unbounded
admiration for the lilies of the field,
which it is doubtful if they ever OBJ
served very closely, began to tell the
congregation through the mouth of
the soprano Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed." Straightway the
soprano was reinforced by the bass,
who declared that Solomon was most
decidedly and emphatically not ar
rayed, was not arrayed. Then the
alto ventured it as her opinion that
Solomon was not arrayed, when the
tenor without moments hesitation,
sang as if it had been officially an
nounced that "he was not arrayed."
Then when the feelings of the congre-
cation had been narrowed up suffici-
emily and our sympathies aroused
for poor Solomon whose numerous
wives allowed him to 90 about in such
q fashion even in that climate, the
choir altogether, in a most cool and
composed manner, informed us that
the idea they intended to convey was
that Solomon in all his glory was not
arrayed like one of these" These
what? So long a time had elapsed
since they sung of the lilies that the
thread was entirely lost, and by
these" one naturally concluded that
the choir was designated. Arrayed
like one of these7 We should think
not, indeed? Solomon with a Prir &c
Albert or cutaway coat? Solomon
with AL eye glass and mustache, his
hair cut pompadour7 No, most de-
cidcdly. Solomon in the very zenith
of his glory was not arrayed like one
of these.
Despite the experience of the morn
ing, the hope still remained that in
the evening sacred song might be
sung in manner that would not ex-
cite our disabilities or leave the i'm
preston that we had been listening
to case of blackmail. But again off
started the nimble soprano with the
very laudable, though rather startling
announcement 81 will wash" Straight
way the alto, not to be out done, de-
clared she would wash. And the tenor,
finding it to be the thing, warbled
forth that he would wash. Then the
deep chested basso, as though calling
up all his fortitude for the plunge,
beloved forth the stern resolve that
he also would wash. Next short in
terlude on the organ, strongly sugges-
tive of the escaping Of steam or splash
of the waves, after which the choir
individually and collectively asserted
the firm, mistaken resolve that they
would wash. At last they solved the
problem by saying that they proposed
to wash their hands in innocency, so
will the altar of the Lord be compass
ed.'-Exchange.
