AT Dover N. c., June 29nd. 1898.
title Lindley Murray, infant son OF l.
and Ida Edgerton, aged one year
nd ten months.
The dimpled hands are folded,
And the restless feet are still.
The pratlling voice no longer
The house with music fills.
The sc # brown eyes 80 tender,
So full OF light and love,
Have close d on earth FOREVER,
Ard opened, up above.
We miss the little darling,
And the DAYS seem very long,
Without the childish prattle,
And the cooling baby song.
Our hearts yearn for the baby,
So innocent and bright,
Whose presence, like q sunbeam,
Filled all the house with light.
But baby, darling baby,
Twas only for a while,
God sent you to our Preside,
To cheer us with your smiles;
You came to make us better,
Your life was not in vain,
Twill make us strive the harder,
That Heavenly Shore to gain.

A NAVIGATION LAWS.

The Chicago Inter- Ocean de-
clares that every year the United
States pay to the owners of foreign
vessels 5000, 900 600 to carry our
imports and exports, and maintain
hal this splendid and profitable
foreign merchant marine is due to
the tact that these countries pay
boInties to the shipping interests.
This Is "a favorite argument Of
the Republicans and their party
organs, which are in favor of heavy
Government subsidies to American
shipping, but it is not sound. The
truth of the matter is, our mer-
chant marine service would not ask
or need to be subsidized, it the
present Republic navigation laws
were repealed go that American
shiplnasters could buy ships and
material for building them whenz
ever they could do so to their best
advantage. II this wereLdone the
decay of American shipping later
ests would be arrested at once.
Speaking on the subject the New
Orleans States very pointedly says:
THE repeal of the navigation laws
will do more to restore the Ameris
can merchant marine than all the
bounties and subsidies the organs
of paternalism ever dreamed of,
and it is hoped, now hat the Dems
ocratic party is in power, that the
day is not far distant when the
laws, which have crushed our ship,
ping, will be wiped out of exis
tence."
Let the Democratic Congress re
wise the navigation laws.

Some eensure is being devoted to the
President for leaving Washington at this
critical period for health considerations.
and. as is limited, for domestic reasons
which call him to the side of his wife. The
Philadelphia Press says:
SO far as the considerations which are
personal 10 himself are concerned, nothine q
but the grayest condition justifies his
absence. So far as relates to those which
touch ties dearer than himself, can they
demand prolonged stay? The President
otsappoints the country"
The Press does not apparently see the
significance of the announcement that the
PRESIDENT goes away under medical advice
rs absolutely necessary to his health and
strength President Cleveland is not a man
TO snirk work or responsibility, as his
record abundantly shows, and 1t Is certain
that his departure at this juncture is not
for fun. but under the Imperative orders of
his doctors. Mr.. Cleveland's life is very
important TO the country just now, and IL
Is fervently to be hoped that he will get
the desired benefit from quiet rest by the
seaside.

entirely unacquainted even with the rudi-
ments Of maritime law. The Americans
nave, in fact, never had a diplomatic ser
vice, properly SO called. Their representa-
tives abroad have never been subjected to
any kind of examination as to their fitness
for promoting diplomatic intercourse with
foreign states. or the amount Of their lin
guistic requirements, Il any; and the fatal
system Of cutting on officiar heads at the
expiration OF the term Of the Presidency
has led, on more than one occasion, to the
federal government being deprived of the
services OF gentlemen Of the highest ac-
complishments and with natural facilities,
so to speak, for the delicate and difficult
craft of diplomacy"
NO denial can be made. No plea In abate-
ment offered. The diplomatic service-for
that Is Its name-iS now nothing more nor
less than a means by which political
debts may be paid. and IT, by chance. some
one of the appointees should develop abil-
ity diplomat, that would be simply so
much good luck. for which no one could be
held to responsibility. 1t may be many
years before partisan politics can be elm
mated from control in the conduct Of pub
lie business, but until that time arrives
our so-called diplomatic service will. in
the main, be inefficient, and the people who
aid and abet in its uneducated continual
ton be fit and proper subjects for criticism
and even ridicule.

In his farewell message yesterday Mr..
Cleveland gave 1t to be plainly understood
that he was leaving the city for private
reasons only, and that he would be glad to
dispense with the presence of the ubiquitous
newspaper correspondents. This is but a
natural desire on his part. Publicity and
newspaper fame. whic' are so dear to the
small politician, are no. always SO grateful
to the occupant of a high position. He
would dispense with them IL he could, but
he can't The fact that Mr.. Cleveland Is the
President of a great nation invests all his
doipgs with an importance they would not
otherwise possess. This is well shown in
the fact that ex-President Harrison may
come and go as he pleases unattended by
the special correspondent. Mr. Cleveland
may be In the enjoyment Of just such i'm
munity four years from now and the news
paper men may be following up some other
man, but in the meantime it in probable
that his request to be left alone while he Is
at Gray Gables will not be granted to any
considerable extent The fact that he has
gone away partly for the benefit
of his impaired physical well-being
will give his presence on the shores of
Buzzard's Bay unusual attractions for the
special correspondent. In his statement Mr..
Cleveland assures them that his days do
ings will be devoid of interest to the public.
In this he is not altogether right At any
rate he is but paying the penalty Of great
ness.

band cannot expect to have the politics
of the state regulated with the sole idea of
fitting it's repertoire. Then, too. 1t was
thoughtless of Mr.. Richie to refer to the
candidate whom he presented for the state
attorney generalship as representing "a
hoop pole district where they eat frogs and
raise democrats" To be sure, the phrase
is picturesque one. But the market is
drugged with picturesque phrases to an ex-
tent which suggests "golly swashed" or

tries to descend from the platitudes OF

Lief Erikson's friends are much disap-
pointed. They have been insisting for
years that their hero-who was undoubted-
ly a great explorer-discovered this con-
tinent four hundred years before the OAR
ing Genoese navigator landed on one Of
the West India Islands. and they have
further insisted that among the records
Of the Catholic Church. stored away in
the library of the Vatican. was docu-
uentary evidence of the most conclusive
sort which would put Lief right on the
pinnacle. The Vatican holds no such tes-
timony. Mr.. William e. Curtis says So
and he ought to know. Mr.. Curtis visited
Rome q year ago as an agent Of the
Columbian Exposition, and having heard
the claims Of Rasmus Anderson. Prof.
Rayn. Prof. Horsford and other Scandi-
navian scholars of eminence, determined.
so far as was possible, to settle the con-
troversy. He obtained by order Of the
Pope copies Of all documents on file reiat-
ing to the discovery Of America, and none
of these mentioned Mr.. Erikson. Over
fourteen thousand manuscripts were care
fully. examined and the search revealed
many that contained valuable and inter-
esting contributions to history. but in none
OF them was there mention Of the hardy
Norseman who sailed the seas before the
Columbus family had fairly commenced
to be. But although Erikson secured none
Of the credit it was proven conclusively
by some of the ancient records that there
was bishopric Of Greenland In the twelfth
century and that the church had informa-
ton as to the existence Of UNEMPLOYED
lands farther south in which savages lived
descendants, doubtless, of the hundreds
of Welshmen who sailed from their native
land with Llwellyn ap Madoc fully four
hundred years before Lief Erikson attained
his majority. Who was the original Ameri-

stated that her army would remain in

seven years the only portion of the Khe-

region, which was abandoned to rebels
