When troubles come his way,
When everything goes wrong and CLOUDS
Obscure his sunny day:
For instance. when a gust of wind
Takes of the tile he wears.
I wonder what he thinks about
The man that never swears.
Or when to make business trip
He hastens thro' the rain.
And gains the station just in time
To miss the morning train:
How does he feel as in the West
The express disappears:

No matter where We GO:

THE SITUATION IN THE SENATE.


There has been considerable talk
during the past week of a compromise
on the silver question. Many persons
have expressed the opinion that the
amendment proposed by Senator
Faulkner might be accepted, but there
is scarcely possibility of securing leg
islation SO favorable to silver. Anoth-
er plan is to couple silver with bond
issue of $Ioo, 900, 900, but Southern
Senators favorable to silver object to
the bonds.
The Administration is dead-set
against silver in any form and claims
assurances from a sufficient number
to pass the repeal bill. Senator Voor-
hees, who is conducting the campaign
for the President, appears to be at the
end OF his string The Vice President
is looked upon as the one who is
able to cut the Gordian knot. but
the fact that he is understood to
favor the white metal adds much to
the uncertainty factor. He says he
will take no part one way or another,
will only put motions, and preserve
order.
III the meantime Senators talk and
talk and appear to be able to continue
indefinitely. President Cleveland,
since he has locked himself in, simply
waits and waits and thus the situa-
ton is summed up: Talk--wait.

An Unlucky King.

The king of the Belgians said to a
friend of mine who asked him to stand
godfather to an infant son, II should
feel delighted did not feel in vein of
i'll luck, and unlucky people should be
avoided" He said to another person.,
THE world has no idea what an evil in
fuence tracks me-" His sister Charlotte
is lunatic; he lost his son; he adopted
his nephew. and he died also. The
Princess Clementine, his daughter, has
never got over the horror of seeing her
governess perish in the fire at Laeken
palace, which destroyed the building
and numerous family relics, papers and
treasures of all kinds. The tragedy of
Meyerling was perhaps the greatest blow
of all. One son-in-law persisted in it, and
the other came out of it a black sheep
ut the court of Austria. The Congo
state is not what the king had hoped it
was going to turn out and has impover-
ished him. The burning of his papers in
the Laeken fire has thrown his affairs in
to disorder. 1t would now seem as
though the crown were to go down in the
hurly burly of socialist revolution, and
Belgium to be again the cock pit Of
Franco and Germany.-Paris Cor. Lon

We publish in another column an
interesting article from the Wheeling
Register entitled "The West Virginia
Press" We fully agree with the
Register that the press of the State
is wide awake and doing better work
than ever before. This, however,
may be an indication of prosperity
and it may not. When times are
hard those who would survive must
get down and hustle, just as a boat
man increases his efforts to avoid
being carried over the rapids. We
wish we could agree with the RegiSe,
as to the prosperity of the State
nothing would afford us greater pleas
ure-but the actual condition of the
patient does not warrant any such di-
agnosis.
In this connection, we beg to return
thanks to the Register for the hand
some compliment which it PAYS the
HERALD, by remarking that during
these trying hours it succeeds admir-
ably in holding aloft the banner OF
Democracy.

have developed. The company insists
on a reduction, said to be 1-2 per cent,
for an indefinite period.
The committee declined this, but
agreed to accept the reduction for six
months, the old scale TO go into effect
again at the end of that time. This
proposition was not entertained and the
committee withdrew. Mr.. Odell SAYS
that he doubts that the committee rep

that the old rate would be continued
