ton Of any character by which that end

The intention Of the bill Is unquestion-
sbly meritorious. Every municipality and

Of such q measure, and all that Legislators
need watch is that the means it supplies

Neighbor Silas sung q song
Every day his whole life long.
Sung it gladly meath the cloud
That hangs DER him like q shroud,
Or when sunbeams with their play
Cleaned and glorifed his way,
Like shower of joy outfiung
Was the song that Silas sung:
Let the howlers howl,
And the scowlers scowl,
And the GROWERS growl,
And the gruff gang 60 it.:
But behind the night
There's plenty of light
And everything is all right
And know II!
Like the battle drum to me
Was the song of victory,
Like the flutes exultant strain
Mid the wounded and the slain,
Like the quick blood-stirring fife
On the battle-plain of life
Far and free the echoes rung
OF the song that Silas sung:
Let the howlers howl,
And the scowlers scowl,
And the GROWERS growi,
And the gruff gang go it,
But behind the night
There's plenty OF light,
And everything Is all right
And ] know it.
siIas' soul has taken flight,
Passed in music through the night,
Through the shadow chill and gray,
And gone singing on its way;
But the quaint song that was his
Cheers the sadcened silences;
Sun glad triumph notes are fiung
From the song that silas sung:
Let the howlers howl,
And the scowlers scowl,
And the GROWERS growl,
And the gruf gang 60 it;
But behind the night
There's plenty Of light,
And everything Is ali right

The reciprocal arrangement with Brazil Sc
cures for that country the continued free ad-
mission 10 the United States of coffee and rub
Der, two of her principal products, and gives
her in addition free sugar. In 1890 the coffee
sent from Brazil to the United States amounted
in value to about si7 ,oOo,oo0 and rubber to about
ss,ooo,ooo. The total production of sugar in Bra
zil amounts to about $4,000 hogsheeds Q year.
The capacity of that country to produce sugar is
well-nigh unlimited. Sugar grows everywhere
in Brazil, but the North is the great sugar-grow-
ing region. The industry has been ianguishinS
for several years. The throwing open of the
markets of the United states win stimulate su-
gar planting on q large scale, and Cuba win have
strong competitor, even If Spain concludes a
reciprocal arrangement with the United states.

by this arrangement with Brazil sre immense.

In the city of London, during the second
week in last December, there were 100
deaths of persons who had passed the
eighty-year limit. Since the old and per-
haps mythical patriarchal days of Methu-
selah and associates, this record most
probably has never been equalled in any
community of equal population, except
from war or pestilence.

was using light rod, and suddenly her
line was struck By something. of unusual
size. She pulled in till the rod bent
nearly double, and then, declining as
sistance, passed the rod back, as the fish
could not be lifted by it, and pulled in
at the line ''hand over hand"
The line was light but it held, and
she brought to the surface and safely
landed in the boat blackfish, which

Apart frein the political significance
of the late elections the interests of good
government and pure ballot have been
highly subserved by the new system of
Voting known as the Australian ballot
Jaw, On all hands, wherever tried, it
Seems to have met with general approval
Snd we predict that time and experience
will justify the present impression in it's
favor. With US it is yet an untried ex-
pertinent but almost any system would
be an Improvement on the old method
OF the ward strikers corauing voters in a
back room, filling them full of whiskey,
fixing their tickets and leading them up
TO the polls like so many silly sheep.
The business, too, of buying votes at so
much head will be at an end because
the buyer will never know if the con-
tract has been kept, the ward workers
will be kept away from the polls and
the voter will be permitted to cast his
ballot quietly and without interference
from anyone. The new system will be a
vast improvement on the old because it
will far more nearly give an expression
OF the peoples choice of the candidates
for Office.

Albani Singing in Russia.

What Mime. Albani related to her in
terviewer AS one of her most remarkable
experiences was her treatment in Russia
at the royal marriage, where the singers,
she observed, are all considered as serv-
ants. ''Well, she says, sit was most
strange. We were all put in a sort of
balcony which looked down upon the
banqueting scene below, and as each of
our turns came to sing we went to a
little opening and sang through it. What
amused me was this, that all the time
we were trying to sing our best and pro-
duce our notes more effectively, the clat-
ter of knives and forks still went on, and
to make all complete, the singer might
be in a most impressive passage and
right in the midst of it, when, quite re-
gardless of the accomplishing singers,
there would be flourish of trumpets and
somebody would get up and propose a
toast. Twas more fortunate than Nine.

middle of her solo. ."-London News.

The dispatches inform us that the
United States grand jury, which has
been investigating the dealings of the
Howell Lumber Company OF st. Joseph,
Mo-, which failed several months ago,
has returned six indictments against
members of the firm for violation OF the
Interstate commerce law. 1t appears
the Howells' entered into secret ar
rtngement with the agent and weigh
master of the Rock Island road whereby
they were able to get such rebate from
the weight of their shipments of lumber
that they were able to sell at price be-
low all competition. The action is held
to be i'll direct violation of the interstate
commerce law. The great trouble con-
nected with all arrangements of this
character is to obtain such proof of their
existence as will satisfy the courts No
sane man, familiar with the facts can
have the shadow of a doubt that the
Union Pacific is granting special favors
to NJ. A. Moody in the shipment of
wheat or at least that some arrangement
has been entered into whereby he can
pay the Portland price if necessary
rather than that pound of it should be
shipped by the peoples boats Months
ago, and before a grain of this years
crop was ready for market the writer
was informed that Jealous friends of Mr.
Moody were spreading the report among
the farmers of this county that no mat
ter how low the Regulator people put
the rate on wheat Mr.. Moody would
haye an arrangement with the Union
Pacific whereby he could pay higher
price than anybody. Mr.. Moody NAV

SPEAKER OF TIE HOUSE OF REPRE-
SENTATIVES.


Hon. Charles f. Crisp, Of
Georgia. after an almost even
race with Hon. Roger @. Mills, OF
Texas, was selected by the Demo
cratic caucus on the 30th ballot
for Speaker of the House. Only
a difference o. from 3 to 6 votes
recorded the strength of these two
contestants, Crisp always ahead
in the several ballots that were
taken, and when in the final test
the forces of Representatives
Hatch and Springer went over to
Crisp, the 3Oth ballot footed up
119 for Crisp, 105 for Mills, 4 for
Springer and / for Stephens, and
Mr.. Crisp secured the majority
nomination of the caucus, which
made unanimous.
The selection is a very satistac-
tory one, as Mr.. Crisp is regarded
as conservative, moderate and
Iirm, and admirably suited for the
important position which he is to
occupy.
