QUEST OF THE SPHINX.

All through the hoary ages,
Nobody knows how long
Since the Nile waves at sunrise
Thrilled unto Memnons song
All through the solemn ages
She lay-and today she lies,
Deep in the heart of the desert,
The Sphinx with the wonderful eyes.
Over the seas. of old time,
Many brave man came
Through the pestilent jungle-marshes
Through the deserts wind blown flame.
They came, with their wisdom and learning,
They came in their power and pride
And they looked right under hey eyelids,
And sank at her feet. and died.
So, motionless. through the ages,
Clrcled by harms and charms,
She lies. with her bosom resting
On her mighty, folded arms.
Over the tawny sandwaste,
The suns that set and rise.
Flame on her brooding forehead,
And her Deep unfathomed eyes.
Never word hath she'spoken,
But the slow tears gather and fall
For her children slain and scattered,
The Wronged and scorned of all.
And today the hunters are saying,
LET us up and be bold;
Let us learn the SphinX's secret,
And gather her boards of gold.
"She has Knocked our wisdom and cunning,
She is dumb, for good or i'll;
Lo, now, we will yoke and bind her,
And bend her to our Will!N
From the east, and the west and the nortn,
They gather-from many a land
They gather and march, where the Sphinx
dreams on,
Between the sky and the sand.
And. 10. there was one who loved her,
And sought her from afar:
Not for the gold OF her rivers
Or the caves where diamonds are
But only because he loved her.
Close to her side he came,
Through the reeking paths of the jungle,
Through the waste of sand and flame
And ne said: 80 loved ana slandered,
o long misprized ana unknown.
They are going forth for thy ruin
TO barter thy blood and bone.
'Ihey have parted the lands of thy dwell
ing
They yoke thy brood to the plow-
Yea the sword is sharpened to slay thee
And who shall save thee now ?"
And she leaned her lips above him
She leaned. and she whispered iow
II hear the clang of the trumpets.
And the trampling of hosts that go.
II know there is strife aud crying
In the lands beyond the sea;
But fear thou not, 0 my true heart
All this is nothing to me!
The nations hold me their captive
Theirs TO save. or to slay;
/ have waited my time foc ages,
And God is the judge. not they.
They fret and they toll, and they trium ph !;
sit here. dreaming and dumb
! am sad for the woes OF my children,
But know that my day will Gomez
Close to her breast she drew HIM
That heart so loving and wise;
And he looked up into the sweetness
OF her sad and patient eyes.
And he rests asleep on her bosom,
Smiling in dreams tift1he morn
Over the desert shall seddcn
For the day of Gods latest born.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION

-
The worlds fair must be open on
Sundays.
The Chicago divekeepers must be
thwarted in their design of appro-
priating Sunday to their own purposes.
They are the bttefest enemies of an
open Sunday for the fair, because to
them will accrue the profits of enter
tanning the vast throng of visitors dur
ing the hours of their proposed exclusion
from the exposition grounds. Sunday
will be day of crime and vice and
terror for Chicago if this great army Of
strangers Oh pleasure bent, ana with
their pockets full of money, are forcibly
Shut out from the fair and turned over
to the tender mercieS Of the downtown
divekeepers.
Ii the worlds fair were to be an in
stitutiOn for mere earnal delectation and
sinful gaiety. there would be good reason
for closing it on Sunday But If will not
be that. 1t will be all institution whose
influence will be wholly toward moral
elevation. 1t will be an education in
itself, and a marvel0usly effective in
spiration to higher effort, nobler aims.
Its machinery should be stopped on
Sundays, and It's labor should cease TO
the greatest extent possible; but its
gates should be open, and its silent won
ders permitted to preach to thronging
thousands their sermon on the splendid
achievements of man under the benef-
icence of God.

Gen. Dodds. the French commander
in DahOmey. who has earned his rank as
general by his dashing exploits, is, like
Alexandra Dumas. what we would call

that is. he is of mixed blood. One ac-
count asserts that he is quadroon. an
other that he is muIatto: but it is
agreed that he is African on the mater
nal side He is a graduate of the great
French military school of ST. Cvr. and
saw service in the Franco -Prussian war
His distinction and promotion will not
seem in any way peculiar to French
military men, nor will they startle
French public opinion. The French do
not understand the intensity OF Anglo
Saxon color prejudice. a man of talent

SHOULD AN EXTRA SESSION BE CALLED?


Many of the leading Democratic and
independent newspapers of the country
unite with the Sentinel in urging that
an extra session of congress be held
next spring to repeal the Mckinley law
and the federal election law, and admit
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona as
ates.-Indianapolis Sentinel.
1t IS announced that an extra session
OF congress will closely follow the in
auguratIon of Cleveland. Amen. The
repeal of the law authorizing the inter
ference OF United States marshals in
the conduct of elections, the repeal of
the Mckinley bill. and an adjustment
of the tariff upon q revenue basis,
strictly, are the reforms promised by
the national DemocTaey.-Davenp0rt
Gazette.
We must make haste slowly. But at
the extra session the federal election
law under which John l. Davenport
does his miSchieyouS work should be re-
pealed. the remedial tariff measures
passed by the house last winter should
be made laws, and committee should
be appointed to consider with due de-
Liberation the details of the tariff reform
to be wrought at the regular session.
New York World.
The Democrats know precisely what
they have been commissioned to do, and
they should proceed with courage and
confidence to carry out promptly the
mission with which they have been in
trusted by the people. TO refuse or
neglect to do this would be to throw
away the only opportunity OF carrying
out Its policy that the party has had for
more than thirty years. What is to be
done should be done quickly.-Atlanta
Constitution.
In any event it is important that the
newly organized legislative branch of
the government be set at work as speed
lily as possible, and the great plan of
tariff reform, in favor of which the
country appears to have pronounced
with unmiStakable emphasis. be so far
agreed upon as either to become law at
once or not to be deferred beyond the
early weeks of the regular session.
Washington Post.
The Democratic press will have con-
Sidered the matter of an extra session of
congress. 1t is not thing to be done
except OH occasions of necessity. This
appears to be one such as to justify the
call, and we hope the press OF the coun-
try will give expression Of opinion on
the subject. Not to call an extra ses-
sion is to continue the Mckinley system
of taxation full additional year, and
we already have had too much of it,

OUR GREAT LIBRARY.
Librarian SpoffOrd Writes About
1t in the November Forum"

Librarian Spofford Writes About
1t in the November "Forum."
When it is considered that the largest
existing public library, that of the
French government at Paris, contains
as yet but 2.300,OOO volumes. aud that
ample space exists in the editice now
rising on Capitol hill for storing more
than twice that number, it will be per-
ceived that the wants of the future are
we'll cared for. While nearly every
government edifice appears to have been
built only for generation and its uses
have long overgrown its limits. this one,
through the far-sighted liberaiity of
congress, will provide room for the ma
tion's books for nearly two centuries to
come.
The ultimate cost is limited to Sc, ,000,-
600. a sum somewhat less than half the
cost of the capitol, or of the large build
ing erected for the accommodation of
the state. war and navy departments.
The library building covers very nearly
the same space as each of these govern
ment buildings (aDout three acres). and
is constructed of solid granite, with
iron, brick and marble interior. Its
ample interior courts and numerous
windows will render it the best lighted
and best ventilated library of large
proportions yet erected.

OVER HILLS AND FAR AWAY

Where forlorn sunsets fare and fade
On desolate sea and lonely sand,
Out of the silence and the shade.
What is the voice of strange command
Calling you still, as friend calls friend,
With love that cannot brook delay,
To rise and follow the ways that wend
Over the hills and far away:
IIark in the city, street on street.
A roaring reach of death and life,
OF vortices that clash and fleet
And ruin in appointed strife
Hark to it calling calling clear,
calling until you cannot stay
From dearer things than your own mos
dear.
Over the hills and far away.
On, ef the sound of ebb and flow,
ont f the sight of lamp and star.
IL calls you where the good winds blow,
Aud the unrhlneing meadows are;
From faded hopes and hopes aglean.
il ralS eou, calls you night and day,
!'eyotil HE dark, into the dream,
over the nils and fag away.

dom, that labor wants. Increase of op-
portunities, not decrease of workers, is
the truel and permanent remedy; and
this will surely come when the policy
of restriction is changed to one of ex-
pansion; when barriers are torn away
and trade left free to seek its markets.
Then will this congestion be relieved in
the expansion of Industrial activities;
the products of labor will flow out, af-
fording room for the creation of more,
causing increase OF the demand for
labor 1t is our congested markets for
the products of labor that make the i'm
migration question an irritating one;
relieve that and the irritation will cease.

This Administrations Fatalitie

This Administrations Fatalities
Washington Special.
Capt. Dinsmore. doOrkeeper of the
White house, died today. His death
marks the fourteenth death, more or
less directly connected with the present
administrator, and the third fatality
of the kind within month. The first
was the frightful fate of the wife and
daughter of Secretary Tracy, who were
killed in the fire that destroyed the
Tracy dwelling. Next came the
sudden demise of Secretary Win
dom, of the treasury department.
This was followed by the death of
Mrs. Halford, wife of President Harri-
sons private secretary, and the deaths
at different periods of Walker and En-
mons Blaine and Mrs. Coppinger, the
children of Secretary Blaine, and that of
near relative of Mrs. Harrison and
three others of minor note, among them
one of the presidents trusted employees,
and Assistant Telegraph Operator Cox,
who was frequently employed at the
White house. Mrs. Harrison, Operator
Cox and Capt. Oinsmore have all died
within a month. Capt. Dinsmore was
prominent in Grand Army circles and a
popular man about the presidential
mansion.

"wILDCAT" PLANK INDoRsED.

Perhaps it is just as well that the
plank calling for the repeal OF the III
per cent tax on the issues of state banks
was put in the platform, although 1t was
generally considered a tactical mistake.
Undoubtedly in Minnesota, where the
Republican voters have not yet become
fully disabuSed of the idea that Demo
Gratis have cloven hoofS and horns, it
prevented many from voting our ticket;
but it is evident that i'll more intelligent
communlties-that is, where a higher
degree of intelligence prevails among
the Republican voterS-it had no effect
whatever. In the great business cen
ters it was treated with the derision it
deserved. The result is vote of con-
fidence in the ability of the Demo
cratic party to handle wisely and
safely the question of the national
currency, a question that is certainly
coming up for consideration and set
tlement. The vote paves the way for
the immediate consideration of the bills
now pending in congress, among which,
and the best of which, is that intro
duced by Hon. NJ. d. HARTER. of Ohio.
This was discussed in the GLOBE last
year; and while subject, as is any meas
ure, to criticism. it has not yet been met
by any objections that may be called
serious. 1t extends the range of securi-
ties which may be made the basis of
national bank issues from the bonds of
the government, which are fast growing
insufficient, to other securities which
pass the conservative tests as to Solv-
ency which he proposes. These would
include railroad, state and municipal
bonds. The opportunities of the law
would be open to state banks which
would accept its provisions; and to en-
able them to do so the plan involved,
necessarily. the repeal of the tax Oh
their issues. The country having re-
fused to be scared by the rag-baby,
wildcat bugaboo, congress need not
hesitate about acting on Mr.. HARTER's

81 have been figuring some lately"

spend S25, 1000. There IS vast expense

CLEVELAND AND THE OF
FICES.

One of the roorbacks made use OF by
the party of decayed morality i'll It's late
campaign of mendacity. assertion ana
prediction, was the statement that Mr..
CLEVELAND had made terms with Tam
many, and that the terms were satlsfac-
tory to the tiger. 1t was designed tor
effect among that class of decent RepuD-
licans who yet believe that government
is not merely process OF distributing
Offices and who had been drawn by their
similarity of viewsto Mr.. CLEVELAND.
1t was about as effective as all their bug
aboos were everywhere, except among
the simple voters of Minnesota where
they did scare enough back into line 10
give the state to HARRISON by peg
carly plurality.
But the roorback had, it seems, no
other foundation than the fact tnat
representatives of the tiger did call OH
MIR. CLEVELAND and ask for conces-
sions which would be necessary to
insure the active work of the boys for
him. The reply was what they might
have expected. 1t was flat refusal,
coupled with the assurance that II IN
sisted on he would not accept the noml-
nation, and would publish the demand
as the ground of his declination.
Other expressions indicate that MR..
CLEVELAND has not changed his views
of the relation of the offices to the party.
At the WILLARD dinner he said: "lfWe
see nothing in our victory but license
to revel in partisan spoils. we shall fall
at every point He evidently regards
the civil service plank OF the Chlcago
platform as an explicit and honest ue-
claration of;party purpose, just as ne
treated the declaration OF the
platform of 'S4. "Who in our
party" lie asks. charged with any
responsibility to the people. has not
pledged his devotion to the principles OF
true Democracy. and who among US mas
made pledges with intent to deceive"
AS mere matter Of policy he Doubtless
reflects that Democracy trlumphed III
'S4 with none of the offices at its COM
mand, and lost again in 'SS with most OF
them in possession; while HARRISON,
having all. lost the battle this year,
with the additional humiliation OF nav
ing made constant and vigorous use OF
the patronage to insure both noml-
nation and election. 1t will get to be ac-
cepted in time as one Of the facts OF a
representative government that the
occupation of the merely administrative
offices has very little to do with partisan
success. There is very little probability
that Mr.. CLEVELAND will depart from
his former cOurSe when president.
