GrOSvenOr Goes.

W WAsHlNGToN, June, l.-Sccretary
Carlisle has called for the resignation OF
Col ID. a. Grosvenor, OF Ono, brother
OF Congressman GrOsvcnor, as chief of
division in the First Comptroller's office.
An effort has been made in this case as
it has been III others to have the dc.
posed chief dropped into the classified
service rules, but Secretary Carlisle de-
clined to allow it on the ground that he
had not sufficient places OF that kind TO
90 round, and did not propose to dis
criminate. Opposition to such a course
early developed among the clerks, who
objected to chiefs of divisions being
dropped into 81 300 places as it particu.
larly barred all promotion from the
lower grades for some time to come.
Mr.. Grosvenor asked of Logan Carlisle
the reason for his retirement. He was
told that the purpose was to put in his
place as good Democrat as he was a
Republican. "That will be damned
hard to lind," replied Col. Dan.

THE LOST KISS

put by the half written poem,
While the pen, idly trailed In my hand,
Writes on, Had words to complete it,
Who'd read it, or who'd understand?"
But the little bare feet on the stairway
And the faint, smothered laugh in the hall ,
And the eerie low lisp OH the silence
Cry up to me over 1t all.
So gathered 1t up-where was broken
The tear faded thread of my theme,
Telling how, as one night l sat writing,
A fairy broke in OH my dream
A little inquisitiye fairy
My own little girl, with the gold
OF the sun in her hair and the dewy
Blue eyes Of the fairies of old.
Twas the dear little girl that | srolded--
For was 1t a moment like this
said, "when she knew l was busy

Come rOwdying up from her mother,
And clamoring there at my knee
For one little kiss for my dolly
And one little uZZcr for me |!
God pity the heart that repellcd her
And the cold hand that turned her away
And take from the lips that denied her.

present intention of the President to Is-
sue a proclamation calling au extra ses.
sion OF Congress as soon as practicable

instant. Oue of the leading members
OF Congress, who is in harmony witt: the
Presidents financial policy, ia tie
authority for this statement. Uader
tho existing system OF bookkeeping in

thirty days or more after The Official year
closes TO get IL complete statement of the
liuaucial condition OF the Government,
including reports from all the disbursng
officers and other officials connected
with the financial branch of the service.
The importance OF the accuracy of this
statement will be appreciated Wheu it a
understood that the President proposes
to base his call for an extra session
upon II. 1t will, therefore, be necessary
10 use the greatest care III preparing it.
The present indications are that the
statement will be less encouraging than
Is generally supposed, aud it il even
SAID by those who arc supposed to be
well :ntormGd Oh the subiec. that il will
be the worst annual debt statement that
has been given to the country for many
years past.
1t 1t should take thirty days after June
80 to prepare the financial statement the
extra session proclamation need hardly
be expected before the latter part of
Angus. Ii does not necessarily follow
That the session must be convened thirty
days after the promulyaton of The Presl-
