SONG OF THE MARKET.

Gay was The throng that poured through the
streets of the old French town;
The walls with bunting streamed, and the
flags tossed up and down.

Weary, and faint. and starved, with eyes that
were sad and wild,
Gazed on the passing crowd, and cried, as it

'Alms, for the love OF God! Pity, in Jesus
name!'
Few were the coins that fell in the little cup
she bore,
But she looked at her starving babe and cried

was drowned in cheer.
But see through the thoughtless crowd
comes one with regal face;
He catches the beggaIs prayer and turns
with gentle grace.
.'A1ms thou shalt have, poor soul! Alas, not
sou to spare!
But stay' and he doffs his hat and stands in
the crowded square.
Then from his heart he sang little song OF
the South;
A far-off CRADLE song that fell from his
mothers mouth.
And the din was hushed in the square, and
the people stood as mute
AS the beasts in the Thracian wood, when
Orpheus touched his lutte.
The melting tenor ceased, and sob from the
1ist'ners came.
"Mario!' cried voice, and the throng caught
up the name.
''Mariol'' and the coins rained like shower
OF gold,
Till the singers hat o'erfiowed like Midas

ON THE WANE.
But Little Stock Taken in the
Presidents Agreement.

But Little Stock Taken in the
Presidents Agreement.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Interest in the
agreement recently entered into by the
presidents of the Western roads is
clearly on the wane. There seems to
be considerable doubt among railroad
men as to whether it can ever be put
into successful operation, and not a few
of them are of the opinion that the
railroads will suffer no loss if the whole
thing were allowed to drop out OF
sight. An official of the Rock Island
who stands close to President Cable.
saws if that road was now in the position
it was prior to the preliminary meeting
held at J. p. Pierpont Morgan's house,
it would not become member OF the
Western Traffic association. At that
meeting nothing was known OF Jay
Gould'S intention to repudlate the con-
tract by which the Rock Island was 10
run trains to Omaha over the Union Ia
'cifc bridge. President Cable therefore
voted for the adoption of the res0lu-
lions. and afterward would not with
draw from the movement lest he be ac-
cused by the other roads of acting i'll
bad faith.
1t is expected that meeting OF the
commissioners of the new association
will be held next week TO fix territorial
divisions and decide upon the percent
age of competitive traffic to be allowed
each road, as provided for in article Z of
the agreement. 1t is conceded that
without the provision for a division of
traffic the whole scheme would be
worthless, and this important detail is
vet to be worked out. Nobody believes
that all the roads will be satisfied with
the proportion of the business allowed
them and it would not be surprising II
this should prove to be an insurmonnt-
able obstacle to the Inauguration OF the
agreement.

THE SENATE CONTEST.

The Democrats in the senate are de-
serving warm sympathy and generous
encouragement in their eXhausting eff
forts to stay the consummation of par
tisan iniquity in the passage Of the
force bill. There has not been such
strain upon the physical endurance of
senators since BLAIR made his speech
upon the educational bill. That lasted
a week or two, but no one was COM
PEELED to stand around all the time. A
session of thirty hours in one day is an
accomplishment that should satisfy the
most exacting demands. In the period
one Democratic senator talked ten NOR
tai hours. Perhaps he deluged the hear
ers, comprising pages and doorkeepers
mostly, with burning eloquence. On
a similar occasion the tradition is
that time killer interpolated
in his speech the whole of the New
Testament. The country will approve
the most extreme use of orderly and
parliamentary agencies to thwart the
efforts of the political robbers who
would enact measure so SubverSive of
sanctioned rights, but the thing is so
farcical that Republican papers are
calling upon Manager HoAR to either
bring on his show or ring down the cur
tain. If it were really true that party
with the emphatic majority Of fourteen
in body of lightweight members could
not pass any measure without the con-
sent or acqulescence of the minority it
would be a strange fact. What is the
advantage OF majority if it cannot de-
termine the action OF the bedy? The
other day the senate passed the
silver bill by less than the full Republic
can majority in the body. The opposi-
ton protested to believe that it was a
pernieious measure, and ought to be
opposed by all legislative means; yet it
tripped along through the senate with
no dilatory stumbling. In other times
acts that were aphorrent to the minor
ity have been passed by resolute but
meager majority. The force bill is not
dragging action in the senate because
of any need Of debate. Its features
have all been elueidated and argument
exhausted. 1t is not debate that pre-
vents it's coming to a vote. There is
none. Its opponents confessedly seek
only to prevent its coming to vote
by all the expedients allowed by
the practices Of the body. These
tactics would be unavailing If the
Republican majority were in solid
earnest IN attempting to pass the
bill. Hardly more than majority Of
