Senator washburn TO Amend HIS Anti
Option Measure.
The anti option bills OF Washburn ana
Hatch will probably be reported about the
middle of next month. The Senate III
will, so Senator washburn said, be amended
to permit OF legitimate trading in futures.
He said that he had so promised the grain
dealers and he would certainly keep his
word although he could not see anything
in the bill as originally introduced TO pre-
vent such dealing. AS the grain dealers
thought different however. he would SUBJ
stitute a clause about which there VIII not
be the slightest ambiguity OF phrase All
be wants. he says, is TO stop gambling, and
in his mind no legitimate dealor In futures
need have cause for fear Mr. Hatch
when asked II he would, as reported, ad-
yocate the substitution of the Washourn
bill, when amended. for his own bill, which
had aroused so much opposition among tho
greatest grain dealers of the world, replied
that he did not know, but the probabilities
were that he would not.

Well Thrown.

On a day in January, thirty-two
years ago, the people OF Madison VII
lage, Me-, were fighting fire. The
west wind blew a hurricane; the
tavern and an adjoining dwelling
house had already burned to the
ground, and the entire village was
threatened. The Congregational
Church stood in direct line with the
fire, but the wide village green might
save it.
Hundreds Of anxious eyes were on
the watch lest some spark or live
cinder should fall upon its exposed
roof and walls, which were kept
drenched with water. A blazing
cinder whirled high across the green,
and strong, sucking current OF ar
carried it and held it against clap
board of the tall steeple; held 1t un-
til the dry, pitch-filled strip of wood
ignited, and brisk smoke was Using
on the steeple's south face.
A groan burst from the watching
crowd, No ladder could reach the
spot, and the loved church must
burn.
A red tongue Of fame shot OUT
from the blackened hole that the live
cinder had charred, then-whiz wen
! fiying SNOWFALL up from the crowd
single, big, moist SNOWFALL, thai
snuffed out that blaze as one snuff'
out candle.
Warren Bacon with his good righ
left hand had quickly shaped ant
thrown the SNOWFALL, and the churcl
was saved.
The building still stands, and tn
pierced clapboards on the south sid
of the steeple still show where tn
blazing cinder and then the flynn
snowfall struck.

Jewish Emigration.

Jewish emigration is one that vitality
concerns the people of the United
States. Last year the number OF He
brews who came to the ports OF the
United States was 10000, and this year
the number will be much greater. There
are 5000, 900 of the Jewish race in Rus
STA and Russian Poland and the govern
ment OF the Gear is determined to drive
them away from these places. Whittier
shall these people go? There Is consid-
cradle talk of some of them going 70
Brazil, the Argentine Republic, Mexico
and other Spanish-American countries,
but it is in the United States that they
desire to settle. This is serious con-
sideration for Americans. The jewish
people do not amalgamatc with the peo'
pie of this country; they form colonies
of their own and they care not TO learn
of our language, our institutions or ouI
industries. It is probable that within
three years there will come to this coun'
try more than 100000 Jews. VIVA
can the United States Government az

kindP is question that however inter
esting cannot now be solved.

Drsar Winter comsth forth again,
sternestis he OF stern-brow'd kings;
And meath his tread, despoIled and bare,
Lie Summers besuteous things.
Enow-crown'd are brows OF pleasant hills
Brows wreathed just now with emerald
light;
Ice-bound are leaping, laughing rills'
Fast in his grasp OF might
dread his presence as he strides
Der hill and dale, In robes OF mist,
Or when he in cloud chariot rides
With storm winds Ia his ist.
For when his footsteps are abroad,
The sunbeams falter ffom his wake,
And roughly from his ioe-fringed robes
The breath of flowers he shak g.
He stalks into the forest groves,
All allied just now with life and light,
But when fair Nature hears his tread
She girds herself for flight;
And hides her sweet and beauteous face
From the harsh tyrant. pale and cold.
And weeps in sad and faded grace
For sunlit days of old.
But little heeds he smiles or tears.
Relentless warrior, rough and grim,
Heeds not dead flowers on lowly Liers,
Or hush of forest hymn;
Nor grieves to see the kincly oak
Stripped of his glory and hi crown,
But mid the ruins of dead joys
He builds his cruel throne.
And oh, how desolate appears
I The once fair realm where he hollis sway,
Where things OF beauty and ollie
Once lived royal dnyl
And tall, strong tr,e' in glory sto d.
With loving leafy arms entwi.ed.
And music made OF song birds notes
Lay in the branches shrined
But now the song birds all have fow',
And withered arms hang rent in twain,
Like hallow'd friendships ioughly hewn,
Which meier may bloom agn n.
And through the st ipped an rug ed Dough
The winds keep pc petual moan,
While mid the dreary solitudes
He holds weird court alone.
Yet soon shall end the despot's sway,
Low lie his sceptre md his crown,
And springs warm sunbeams on their way
Shall melt his ice-built throLe.
| Fen now m, d forest avenues,
A feather'd warbler sits aad sings
His melancholy requiem,
And welcome TO The spring.
o soul OF mine, has winters touch
Frozen thy life fount in it's ay?
And have the flower, and sorgs of life
Died out with summers day?
And through thy avenues all drear,
Do wither'd hopes like leaves be rewn?
And mid the ruin OF dead joys.
Has winter reared it's throne?
Yet hearken for an angel sings
To thee n song of joyous note:
Arisel and to thy spirits depths
Its melody shall float.
Oh spirit tried, yet God beloved,
Thy long, drear winter iakeih wing,
And through thy be Lg there shall flow
The new. glad lie OF spring.
