The laugh of child will make the
hottest day more sacred still Strike
with the hand of fire, o weird must
clan, thy harp strung with Apollos
golden hair; fill the vast cathedral
aisles with symphonies sweet and
dim, deft TOUGHER of the organ keys;
blow, bugler, blow, until thy silver
notes do touch and kiss the moonlit
waves and charm the lovers wander
ing mid the vine-clad hills But
know your sweetest strains are dis
cords all compared with childhoods
happy laugh-the laugh that fills the
eyes with light and every heart with
joy. o ripping river of laughter,
thou art the blessed boundary line
between beasts and men, and every
hayward wave OF thine doth drown
some fretful fend of care. O laugh
ter, rose-lipped laughter of joy, there
are dimples enough in thy cheeks to
catch and hold and glorify all the
tears OF grief.-Coloncl InGcrsoll.

TO balance the intellectual rhapsody
superinduced by that portrait at the top
Of the page the artist, with that fine sense
of aesthetic harmony which signalizes
a genius, has placed the portrait of Pri-

the Promethean spark Of god -given
genius whatever, at the bottom of the

The two other portraits balanced

They are simply artistic accessories.

The Refusal OF the Minister of the
Colonies to suspend the New Tariffs
stops All Business.
[By Telegraph to the Evening Journall
HAVANA, Aug. 13.-Nearly all the
business establishments in this city have
closed their doors in consequence of the
refusal of the minister of the colonies to
suspend the new tariffs. The merchants
and others sent telegram to the minister
at Madrid few days ago asking him to
suspend the tariffs At a meeting held
here on August s to consider the subject.
a majority of those present announced
that they were ready to close their places
of business if their request was not
granted. II was thought probable that
the merchants would make a demonstra-
ton to show their disapproval of the ac-
ton of the minister of colonies, but the
government has issued an order prohibi-
ting anything Of the kind being done.
The extent TO which business has
been suspended here in protest against
the continued imposition of the preva-
lent tariffs is shown by the fact that not

slaughter house yesterday for the mar

a WINE AGENT

That peculiar discovery of President
Harrison, II. p. Porter of the Census
Bureau, has come into public notoriety
again lie has never been out Of public
notice; but often, with so much more i'm
portant matters TO consider, he is over
looked
The conduct OF Raum has been so
much more offensive and humiliating
that Porter was forgotten.
Porter is the agent for French cham
paign. The Berton Sec, he claims is a
Republican wine and in his controversy
with John Chamberlin, the caterer, about
the use Of it, he said, "a Republican ad-
ministration wants Republican wine.
This scandal came out because Porter
has refused to repay $3.50 which the
agent declares to have been borrowed
money.
During Porter's agency for the wine he
sent five cases of it to the White House,
over which there was a dispute because
the butler declared il had not been
ordered, and refused to receive it, This
dispute was settled by an interview be-
tween Porter and the Presidents secre
tary, Halford, with an agreement that
the wine should be accepted, free.
These and many additional details Of
wine sent TO other places where it was
expected that Republican wine would be
needed, are set forth in the letters Of
Porter to the wine agent, written from
the Census Department on official paper,
and which have been published in the
New York papers One Of these letters has
GLORY" written in large characters over
an account of the triumph of having
succeeded in selling the wine, probably
at discount, or by bribing the caterer,
to be used at "the Carnegie dinner-the
grandest of the season
OF course there is no improperly or
wrong in assisting an agent TO introduce
a new French wine, for consideration,
and then refusing TO return $3.50 Dor
rowed money but it might have been, at
least. more genteel and dignifed for
Porter to have abandoned the wine
agency when he became the head of an
important bureau, or TO have suppressed
his characteristic letters.
The rules of this administration, how
ever, have not tended to punctilious care,
ceremonious propliety, or aesthetic taste
Quite the contrary in fact, the tendency
has been to what may be called 1.-THE
proper caper, as Mrs. Harrison said, in
Indiana
Where Mrs Cleveland placed a Sevre'
vase Of rare pattern and of exquisite
beauty in the White House boudoir, Mrs
Harrison placed boarding house folding
bed.
Whereas Mr. Cleveland regards the
office of President of the greatest coun
try in the world as a public trust, Mr.
Harrison has used it as a private snap.
Porter is an incident merely he con
firms the general tendency on which he

IL Is Rumored That Jeremiah Mahoney,
Of This City, win Lay Ten Miles OF
Track IN Philadelphia.
There is rumor on the streets to-day
TO the effect that Contractor jeremiah
Mahoney, Of this city, has secured a con-
tract 60 build ten miles of electric street
railway line in Philadelphia.
This ten miles of track will be laid on
several of the streets designated by the
trolley-wire ordinance which was passed
by the Select and Common Councils after
protracted discussion. in which many
leading Philadelphians took part The
opponents of the system claimed that
the trolley system would retard rapid
transit by means of elevated roads at
least ten years The success
of the system in Whining
ton and other cities was reported
to the Philadelphia councilmen by a
strong lobby, and the ordinance was
forced through.
The amount of Mr.. Mahoney's con
tract cannot be learned, but it amounts
to several thousands of dollars He is in
Philadelphia today and the particulars
of the transaction cannot be ascertained
His son, John jeremiah Mahoney, was in
terviewed at the city auditors office this
afternoon He disclaimed all knowl-
edge of such a contract.

TnEre revelations concerning the Iron Hal
WIN probably provoke legislation, state
legislation Of course, TO prevent the
formation Of beneficial societies which do
not offer sufficient safeguards for the
small investors and providential savings
of the poor. Such legislation also as
may require semi-annual statements TO
be published and periodical investiga-
tions to be made for such societies will
likely accompany any action which may
be taken by the respective state legis-
latrres. That cannot cure the evils
from which the poor and crodulous
have suffered so frequently, but
viii modify them. It is impossible to
protect an ignorant and credulous man.
Il is not the business of the state to at
tempt that, but it is the business of the
state TO punish the sharper, the schemer
and the thief who rob the innocent
Supreme Justice Somerby has explained
how the Iron Hall is run, and admitted
that $4,000 of its money was
used TO help his bank by ofIl-
GERS who gave no bonds. Such
state of affairs needs no comment
Any intelligent and careful business
man would have condemned an enterprise
started on that plan the result, of course,
proves that it was the wrong plan. The
marvel of it is that nobody interested
foresaw this absolutely inevitable and
unavoidable result from the practice Of
such plan.
