JuLlET's BUSINESS VENTURES.

How an Entcrprising Country Girl EarHed
Her Own Money.
Its the same old story. There's no
money to buy anything except seed,
stock and machinery. I'm tired OF
farm life, anyway" said Juliet Dean
one April morning as she stood before
the dresser braiding her long fair hair
getting ready for school
Now Juliet, you can't say your
father is stingy with you, when he has
money to spare. He wants TO give you
music lessons. but ="
Eyes, mother, know have one Of
the best fathers living. I'm only
grumbling because he has chosen a
hard vocation. Farm life seems to me
all work and no pleasure. Never mind

way and with a hastv ''good-by.

said Davy, gathering up his treasures
and moving on.
Juliet thought for week over Davy's
words, and again sought out the boy
asking him to see if the ''conductah'
would take her flowers.
"Davy didn't know. he lowed mebby

were prettily arranged.

The first bouquet, composed princi- |
pally of fragrant May pinlxs, blue bells
and blue bottles, with plenty of green |
and loosely arranged so that every |
flower displayed its beauty, pleased a
banker who had not yet forgotten the
old garden where the old-fashioned /
mother grew her pinlzs and the blue
bells. oh, how he hunted the first ones
for the fair young girl who had long
slept under clump of them.
Tender memories rushed into that

GRANT AND THE CHILD.
AN rxc1DESr NEAR APPoMA TTox-

AN INCIDENT NEAR APPoMA TTox.
The leader of our armies rode
Across the Southern plain,
Around his stan OF bearded men
Pressed with mgathered rein.
Before him fed his broken foes
Behind bis columns throng.
Full near the hour OF victory shows
Their hearts have waited long
Beneath mansions vine-wreathed pcfGh
His chargers step ne stayed,
To ask a goblet from the spring,
A moment in the shade.
A little child. with eyes OF blue,
Came shyly to his knee.
MY papa Is soldier, too.
And wears a sword said he.
"He has bright buttons on his coat
He looks almost like you.
Only my papa's coat is gray
And yours, mamma calls blue.
II wish you'd find my papa, sir,
And send him right away;
And II you'll say told you TO
I'm sure he viii obey"
The soldier raised the childish form
Up TO his martial breast,
And on the rosy, pleading face
A tear-wet kiss he pressed.
He saw his own far Western home,
Where wife and babies dwelt:
More stern than his must be the hear
Such vision would not melt.
Perhaps, my child" he slowly SAID
Your father / may see,
And may God grant me my desire
To send him safe to thee" :.
q soldiers OF the Blue, the Gray,
Whom hostile weapons part,
The pleading OF that little child
Made one each fathers heart
And never viii the simple tale
From meinory's pages cease,
And hearts shall melt as words recall
The soldiers kiss OF peace.

THE ALDERMEN.

The meeting of the aldermen yester-
day was one Of unusual importance.
Alderman Dyer offered a number of
important amendments TO ordinances.
One prohibits city official from having
personal interest in any firm having a
contract with the city. This might re-
suit badly in some instances. but the de-
vice of special vote of permission is
intended to cover such cases.
Mr.. Dyer's adopted resolution looking
TO a still further reduction of water
rates is one very pleasing to the public.
1t may not be deemed advisable TO again
reduce the rates 50 soon, but the fact
that such a measure is seriously proposed
is an eloquent comment on the prophe-
cies of deficit at the time of the
former reduction of rates.
A city board of equalization is pro-
posed by another Of Mr.. Dyer's resolu-
tions. Such a board might prove ex-
tremely useful in operation, but its task
would be of the most delicate and diff
cult character. No subject is more vexa-
tious than this OF equitably adjusting
the ratio of public burdens. The further
amendment providing for publicity of
the assessment rolls merely follows the
custom prevalent i'll many other Ameri-
can cities and no nowhere, we believe,
found Objectionable.
The committee TO investigate the
affairs of the committee on city property,
Messrs. McGuinness, Harris and Dyer,
will begin work soon. The committee
Messrs. West, Deming and Burrows
appointed TO confer with the Rhode
Island Hospital management to secure
prompt treatment of prisoners suffering
from delirium tremens have certainly a
very plain course Of action marked out
for them

SAMPLE PARAGRAPHS.

Two paragraphs in succession in the
Journals editorial columns this morning
read as follows:
Theodore Roosevelt writes to the Massachu-
setts Republicans that the Senate viii pass "A
free coinage bill this winter, and nothing but
the Presidents veto can save the country from
this silly experiment. As the Senate Is Repub-
licau by large majority IL Is not easy TO see
how The party can claim any credit for It's pro-
posed action.
Ex-president Cleveland Is showing himself
an able assistant TO his brother Democrats in
New York hy entering heartily into their little
campaign concerning the Worlds Far ana
the Tammany tiger. There does not appear TO
be any doubt OF the success OF his party now
IN that state, nor of consequent harmony at
the National Convention next year.
Is il any wonder that Republicans
don't like the paper?
Take these statements in order. First,
suppose two or three Republican Sena-
tors from Nevada and Colorado support
the Democratic Senators ON the free
coinage bill, and suppose all the Demo-
Gratis go wrong. Which party has the
credit-the party which was all wrong,
or the party which is deserted tempo
raIily by a few boilers?
Again, there is very decided doubt Of
the success of the Democratic party in
New York, and of consequent harmony
next year Democrats themselves adj
NIT it. Why should the Journal blow
Tammany's horn so Justify?

the manager here of any large business
enterprise ask himself; Have you en-
tirely prevented waste in your establish
ment? Have you never made mistake
in buying supplies or making contracts Z
Have you never paid higher price for
an inferior article? Has no employe ever
succeeded in imposing upon you and
drawing wages not fairly earnedl The
business man who can answer all these
questions in the negative will have a
pretty good right to criticise the city
officials.
The character of the men composing
the city government is itself sufficient
denial Of any appreciable waste, or OF
corruption. With rare exceptions the
members Of the city government are
men Of substance and standing IN the
community, large taxpayers and vitally
interested in the prosperity of the city.
That anything more than what might be
called the normal or minimum percent
age of human error exists in their work,
will be, we believe, "a pretty difficult
thing TO prove.
The perpetual stream Of abuse of city
officials which some newspapers deem it
advisable 10 keep mp is, in the total alb
sence of foundation or excuse for It,
disgusting TO fair-minded readers. The
city government never enjoyed the con-
fidence and, we may add, the sympathy
of the public TO greater degree than it
does to-day.

THE EXPORTS OF BREApsrurrs.

THE Democratic Cassandras have their

to glance over the official report Of the
|exports of bread stuffs, published yer

be stayed at their sources for few brief
|minutes, there is much that is interest
ling and, indeed, comforting in the
figures. II appears that in the month of
|September, 1890, the United States ex-
ported breadstuffs to the amount of
ia, ,100, PAS; for the month of September,
1881, the record is S3l ,462 ,02l.
Does this indicate total ruin of COM
|merce? Does it look as if the abandon
|ment Of our wharves was thing of the
near future? The figures are very fairly
satisfactory to farmers, shippers and
transportation companies. If they are
mot satisfactory to free traders what is
the reason why?
