Only u Memory.


Only little cradle.
Astandirg empty there,
A little pair OF baby shoes,
tiny lock OF hair,
hiSh-chair in the corner,
Unused and put away,
Only mothers heart that yearns,
a mcm'ry OF yesterday.
Only little picture
A picture faded, worn,
From out the little album
Its corner soiled and torn;
Only single tear that falls
Adown tho withered face,
And on the pictured baby's lips
So softly takes its place.
Only smile, q baby smile,
On the little dimpled face
y childish smile OF years agono
That time did not efface;
Only mothers lips that touch
The baby lips below,
Only kiss that speaks OF love,
or mingled Joy and woe.
Only plaintivc melody,
The one sweet strain that's left
Within heart OF broken strings.
y harp OF voice bcrcft;
Only ono grain OF happiness
FROM out the waste OF woe,
The only ono her weary soul
On earth Shall ever know.

SMITH DEFINES A POLICY.
His Paper Explains What Is
Ahead for the Country.
APPOINTMENTS TO OFFICE.
This Is to Be Business Admins
trarion.
Tariff Reform WIN Move Very Slowly
The Silver Question Is Also Referred
to Complications from
Reciprocal Treaties.

ATLANTA, Ga, March 1.-THE Atlanta
Journal comes out with explanations of
the policy ahead for the country. In a
leading telegram from Washington signed
by Hoke Smiths editor, Richardson,
there is warning served upon the office
seeking brigade, as follows: Gone
thing is certain; appointments will
not be speedily made. This is neces-
sarily so, because OF the great number OF
applications and clash of influences, -
This news is backed up by an editorial in
which it is stated, that ION tire question
of civil service Cleveland is even more
explicit than he has ever been before; his
declaration that appointments to office,
instead of being rewards of personal act
WITTY should go to those whose efficiency
promises fair return OF work Tor the
compensation paid them, - is cited as a fair
warning to the "pie brigade. This is going
to be business administration and not a
huge partisan machine. Prominence is
also given to the fact that the president
has served distinct and emphatic notice
that he would hammer with his veto any
free silver bill that Congress might pass,
and there will be crucial test of the ad-
ministration.
Having thus interpreted the presiden-
tial mind upon the question of office seek
ing and the establishment of gold stand
ard, the editorial declaration is made
that tariff reform will be indefinitely
postponed. The reason therefor is stated
az follows: t'There are serious impedi-
ments to a speedy realization of the full
measure of tariff reform. The finances
of the government are in precarious
condition, to say the least. The Harrison
administration has had to avail itself of
funds always previously held as reserves,
to enable it to make both ends meet, or
to show favorable balance in it's fnan-
cial statements. Whether this was leg
ally and properly done or not, it was
done as q measure OF necessity.
s'The question then arises are the reve-
nues of the government now sufficient to
meet expenses imposed by Republican
extravaganza. This question must be
settled before any decisive measure OF
tariff reform, that may be safely UNDER
taken at this time, can be determined.
Then there is a complication arising
from the several reciprocity treaties al
ready entered into. 1t remains to be
seen to what extent they will reduce tue
reven ne and whether the benefit to the
people derived from them are sufficient to
| justify a continuance or extension Of the
policy,D

SECRETARY OF AGR1cULruRE.
j. Sterling Morton Introduced Into His
Departments.

WASHINGTON, March THE new
secretary of agriculture, ]. Sterling Nor
ton, arrived at the department about noon
today. The chiefs of divisions and as
sistants were presented to him by Assist
ant Secretary Willets Of the department.
After the presentation, ex-Secretaey Rusk
took farewell of his late employees. Sec
rotary Morton and ex-Secretary Rusk af-
forwards drove to the weather bureau,
where the former met the officials OF that
branch of the department.
EX-Secretary Rusk intends remaining
IN Washington for a month or more and
Assistant Secretary Willets VIII remain
where he is for some time, at the request
OF Secretary Morton.
This evening the officials and employees
Of the agricultural department met at the

through Assistant Secretary Willets, pre-
scented him with handsome silver service
OF fifteen pieces, with a salver and lamp.
On the salYer was engraved a representa-
ton of the department building and I'M

CALLING on THE PRESIDENT.
Crowds of People Continue to visit the
White House.

WASHINGTON, March THE steady
tramp, tramp OF office seekers sounded
through the White House all day. There
was practically no cessation in the line of
people who assembled the stairway leading
to the presidents room, and nearly all
who came saw Cleveland. They found
him in joviai humor, and he cracked
Jokes with old acquaintance whom he
had not seen since his departure from
Washington four years ago. While a
large number of those who saw the presi-
dent were candidates for Office, but few of
them attempted to press their claims, and
congressman, with long lists of constitu-
ents willing to work for Uncle Sam, were
discreet enough not to ask for favors, but
simply pay their respects.
President Cleveland was so busy receiv-
ing callers In his office that he did not go
down stairs to see the hundreds of people
waiting for him in the east room. The
room became SO crowded and the crowd
outside waiting admittance SO great that
the east room was cleared and line
formed so people might pass in and out
and thus have an opportunity OF seeing
the apartments. Fully 1000 people went
through the White House IN this disap-
pointing manner.
Presto dent Cleveland received the public
twice during the day, each reception last
ing less than an hour. He shook hands
with about thousand people, although
fully three thousand passed through the
White House. At O'Clock the doors
were closed to those not bent on business.

OPPOSED TO RACING.
A Red Hot Time in the New Jersey
Legislature.
The Presiding Of1fcers of Both Houses
Racing Legislation Out of Order.

TRENTON, N. j., March 7.-Mr. Hutch
memorial of committee of fifty APP
pointed at mass meeting OF the citizens
league of Trenton last Wednesday, In
connection with the memorial he offered
resolution providing for a public hear
ing at IL 80 p. m. upon the memorial which
protested solemnly against the race track
bills and asked for their repeal. A half
dozen members sprang to their feet to
make motions, but Speaker Elynn (who is
the Gloucester race track starter) shut
them all off by declaring the resolution
out of order. The galleries and floor were
crowded, and the ruling created a great
sensation.
Mr.. Hutchinson in q strong speech de-
nounced the speakers rnling, and the
spectators applauded loudly.
The speaker said if the demonstration
was repeated he would order the specta-
tors removed. The legislature, he added
would not be Influenced by outside
clamor. The speaker said the people had
gone about the matter of obtaining a
hearing the wrong way. The proper
course was to apply TO the committee
which had the bills in charge.
Mr.. Hutchinson said that would be a
farce, as the committee had repeatedly
denied a hearing to the public.
The speaker persisted in his ruling and
Hutchinson appealed from his decision.
On vote being taken, 80 sustained the
appeal and % against it, but the speaker
refused to allow the result announced be-
cause Swartwout was absent.
Mr.. Byrne of Essex, said that he had
been informed that the committee on
municipal corporations were ready to
give the Citizens league hearing and he
therefore changed his vote, going on
record as against the appeal. Other
changes were recorded and the clerk con-
tinued to call Swartwout's name. He
was the only absentee not excused, and
the speaker would entertain no motion
directing the sergeant to produce
SWartwout and arbitrarily ruled every
motion and resolution out of order. Lob
bying on the floor was allowed despite
appeals for the enforcement of the rules
against it.
Swartwout finally appeared and voted
in favor OF the speakers ruling. The
speaker himself voted for his ruling and
his attention was called to the fact that
under the rules he could not vote. He
consented to have 1t stricken out and the
total vote then stood % Co % and
the speaker declared the motion ap-
pealing from his decision lost,
it requiring a majority vote. He then
announced that the chairman Of the COM
mittee on municipal corporations would
accord the public hearing on the bill at
2 O. clock, and the fight fer the present
was over.
In the senate Mr.. Marsh presented a
petition from committee of fifty, asking
for hearing on the racing repeal, be
made a motion that such hearing be
granted, but President Adrian declared it
out of order. He was memorable, and the
whole subject had to be dropped.
| The house committee on municipal cor
porations this afternoon heard the COM
mittee of fifty, and tomorrow advocates
OF racing legislation will be heard
