THE undignified behavior OIL Con-
gress during its last hours, INDUCING
lin riotous singing, was in perfect
keeping with other disgraceful acts
that have characterized it. The Re-
publicans were rebelliOus and reck-
less, and drunk on disappointment,
and in that maudlin, rOllickIng mood
that sDmetines precedes desperation.
They were shame-feced and covered,
out tried to look brazen, and sang to
keep their courage up. The usual
vote of thanks, rendered as matter
of form to retiring officers, was given
Mr.. Reed by a strict party vote, every
Democrat present voting no. The
Fifty-first Congress is thing of the
past. 1t will go down in history as a
most outrageous, arbitrary and revo-
iutionary body, and to have been
member on the Republican side places
a stigma of disgrace and shame upon
L mans name.

HOW HAVE YOU BUILT!

Did not pleasure like an echo mock,
When you called her in vain to stay?
Did not her false glimmering spark,
Lead you into by-paths astray?
Did not success like a "WIlI-o'the-whis t'
Flutter forever in sight?
Were not your stepping stones frequent
ly missed,
AS you followed her alluring light?
Did not you laLor with muscle and
brain,

Did not you work with might and main.
And be left far behind in the fight?
Did not you sto up treasures that will
rust,
And a house that's too frail to stand3
When at last you are humbled into
dust,
You will find you have built on the
sand.
But when you have built on "The Rock, -
Time nor eternity can Lot avail.
1t will stand the uncomfortable shock,
When the pillows of earth shall fail.
A strong heart, and honest hand,
Will rear an undying fame
That's built on the Crock" not the
sand.
The wages the master will pay
Is not in buables light,
To charm a short, f1eeting day,
And be- lost in the shades of night.
Eternity's endless tide
Will sweep away the worlds brief

But the House on the Crock" will able G

WHAT has become of the new char
err? Are the people going to sit
IuietIy down and allow a charter
hey do not want, to be put upon
them? If this present Board think
he people want them to name the
tirst supervisors, let them submit
that question to the people and they
will find they are mistaken-or else
we will find we are mistaken. Why
this after-thought? If it Ia such a
dangerous thing to trust the people,
now was it that such a vital clause
was overlooked at first? And if the
people cannot be trusted what has pre-
vented the country from going to the
iemnition bow-wows long ago? The
HERALD has said and repeats, that
it is opposed to the proposed charter
in its present shape. If there are
others who want to kick, they should
kick now, or forever hereafter hold
their peace.

If the statement in the annual re-
port of the U. S. Commissioner of La
Dor that the cost of producing ton
of steel rails is less in America than
in England and o,her European
countries be true, and we have no rea-
son for believing it otherwise, the only
object attained by putting a higher
tariff upon steel rails is to increase the
profits of the American manufacturer
