ASHES:
4 BACHELORS REvHRY1.


Wrapped in q sadly tattered gown,
Alone puff my briar brown
And watch the ashes settle down
In ambient flashes;
While thro' the blue, thick, curling haJe
strive with feeble eyes to gaze
Upon the haif-forgotten days
That left bur ashes.
Again we wander through the lane,
Beneath the elms and out again,
Across the ripping fields OF grain
Where softly FLASHES
A slender brook mid banks of fern.
At every sight my pulses burn,
At every thought slowly turn
And find but ashes.
What made my fingers tremble so
As you wrapped skeins of worsted snow
Around them, now with movements allow
And now with dashes?
Maybe tits smoke that blinds my eyes,
Maybe tear within them lies;
But as puff my pipe there flies
cloud of ashes.
Perhaps you did not understand
How lightly flames of love were famed.
All, every thought and wish I've Planned
With something clashesi
And yet within my lonely den,
Over pipe, away from men,
love to throw aside my pen
And stir the ashes.

Under the Mckinley law, the foreign trade OF
the United States during December, 1891, was
the largest ever known-both exports and i'm
ports. The Mckinley law, by repeating several
hundred purely revenue duties and by provid-
ing for reciprocal concessions from the tropical
countries providing the articles on which those
revenue duties had been levied, has encouraged
rather thaa nprohibited" foreign trade.

THE ROADS THAT PAY.

In the third annual report of the
Statistics of railways in the United
States" recently issued from the Stats
tician's office of the interstate commerce
commission, there is given table show
ing revenue and density of railway traf-
exceeds $1,000 900. This list of work
comprises, for the entire United States,
seventy-fve companies, the length of
line operated being 102, ,305.60 miles, or
65.4 per cent, of the total mileage in
the country.
The gross revenue Of these big lines is
$s46, ,sSS, 900, out of total gross revenue
for the railways of the country of 81 ,05l,
81, ,632; that is to say, the corporations
above referred to received S0.5l per
cent. of the total amount paid by the
people of the United States for railway
service. The average revenue per mile
of all lines is SO, 125, while for the roads
in question it is Ss,25S. The roads
mentioned above performed $3.50 per
cent of the total passenger service and
S5.3S per cent of the total freight service
during the year 1890. Out of a total of
11,SF, ,7S5,617 passengers carried one
mile, these roads carried 9,900,0 ,51S,
and out of total of 76,207 ,047, ,29S tons
carried one mile by all the railways, the
railways in question carried 65,O69, ,50l,-
956. No figures could more perfectly
indicate the concentration of the railway
business in the United States, as
well as the great diversity of con-
ditions under which it is carried on.
The roads that are assigned to this
table in the New England States are, in
order of their gross revenue, the Boston
and Maine Railroad, New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad, Boston
and Albany Railroad, Old Colony Rail-
road, Fitchburg Railroad, New York
and New England Railroad, Central
Vermont Railroad, Maine Central Rail-
road, and New York, Providence and
Boston Railroad.

Senator Eugene Hale, who has been
for years one of the NEST active MEM
bers of the Senate naval committee,
voiced the sentiments of large and
patriotic majority of the American peo-
pie, when ne said in an interview re-
Gently, We cannot afford to stop
building ships. We are fast getting
back to our former commercial and
naval supremacy, and the country shows
every indication of pride and gratifca-
ton"
Senator Hale agrees entirely with Sec
retary Tracy's policy of asking for the
construction of one or two more full
sized and full powered battle ships of
the type of the Chicago or the New
York, TO be supplemented by half "A
dozen fast, light draught vessels of 800
or I, 900 tons, which could be built and
maintained at a comparatively low cost
and for such work as police service in
the Chinese rivers or against such pow
ers as Hayti or Guatemala would be rs
effective as larger vessels.
The people are with Senator Hale in
the stpnd hc takes in this matter.

wish to see her in position TO assert the

no GERRYMANDERING.

Gov. McKinley's inaugural address to
the Ohio Legislature was in admirable
tone throughout, but especial commen-
dation will be, we think, elected by his
remarks upon the redistricting of the
State.
Gov Mckinley knows very well what
gerrymandering means. He has been
one of the most conspicuous victims of
tho practice this country has afforded.
But it is evidently his wish that the re-
districting so imperatively needed in
Ohio shall be so fair that no future Leg
islature shall ever be able TO disturb it.
In other words, Gov. Mckinley wants
no "shoestring districts" or monstros-
tiles in the new map of the State
The Republican party in Ohio is inf
nitely the more respectable of the two, but
there is no harm in such word Of warm
ing The districting ought to be per-
fectly fair.

Great Britain is creditor.nation, holding
liens upon nearly all the nations OF the
world. Her investors have in their
strong boxes railway, government and
other securities from every quarters OF the
globe. She would not agree-she would
be foolish to agree--to any action which
would make those debts payable to her
in silver at the rate of fifteen shillings in
the pound. But in view Of Mr.. Cos
chen's rather pacific utterances upon
the subject recently, it is by no means
certain that she would not agree to the
coinage of silver at the market price.
OF course the issuance Of call for a
conference does not preclude Congress
from stopping or decreasing the monthly
flow of silver from the mints If it re-
turns to sanity meanwhile. We would
have one regret if a free coinage bill
were not presented in the House. We
would really like to know il Senator
Hill would vote for it against it or dodge
the question.

Mr.. Breckenridge Of Kentucky has
introduced resolution for the repeal of
the reciprocity clause OF the Mckinley
tariff act. 1t has been referred to the
committee on Ways and Means. II will
be interesting to watch It's fate.
Democrats have universally conceded
that The reciprocity clause is the best
feature of the Mckinley act. IL they
attempt TO repeal that their position will
be quite as logical as that of the third
party prohibitionists who, since they
cannot force their views upon the coun-
try, unite to make the whisky nuisance
just as bad as possible. II the Demo-
Gratis want free trade and if reciprocity
is, as they say. modified free trade
then why-we confess it puzzles us.
However, Mr.. Breckenridge's resolu-
tion is not likely to pass even the House.
1t will remain merely an expression of
personal opinion and queer instance OF
Democratic intellectual obfuscation in
the "sour mash" belt.

MIR. sPRINGER's PLAN.

If the idea of an international silver
conference at Chicago in 1898 originated
in the fertile brain of Mr.. Springer Of
Illinois, he is TO be congratulated upon
having evolved clever scheme TO extri-
cate the Democratic party from rather
embarrassing dilemma.
The Democratic party is particularly
committed TO free silver but its more
conservative leaders hesitate TO sacrifice
the gains they have made in the Eastern
States by pushing the silver issue on the
eve of a national election. Mr.. Springer's S
idea, if adopted, will tide over the diff
Guilty.
Nor is the plan Objectionable from a
Republican point of view. There is no
possibility of any legislation on the
silver question 10y the present Congress.
No free coinage bill could pass the
Senate and President and become n law,
and on the other hand no conservative
measure could possibly pass the House
as at present constituted. Under the
circumstances. an international confer
cncc can do no harm and may possibly
do good. II It's agreement is satiSfac-
tory-if il comes to any agreement ut
all--the question is settled. We may
again remind Mr.. Springer and his party
allies. however. that 1t is lille to expect
an international conference 10 accept a
ratio Of lji or 10 10 /. It's conclusion.
If any were reached, would certainly be
conservative. IL would not suit Mr..
Bland. but it would be much nearer
approach to common sense than his
famous Dollar of our Dadlics" hill.

states. the most important factor in
