THE BOSTON DUEL.

Good Lordl They've fought duel
In Boston-Bo5ton town,
The pride of Massachusetts;
The glory and the crown
OF Puritanic prudence:
The transcendental site
OF beans and brains and blue blood
And intellectual light
They fought 1t in a dismal
Locality; and blood
Ran down their legs in rivers
And mingled with the mud,
Where Puritans and Patriots,
In times forgotten now,
With Satan and the British
We're wont TO raise row.
They stood up there like Southrons,
Whom they are pleased to say
Are little less than savages,
And jabbed and jabbed away
With swords, the two attempting
With all their hearts and souls,
To do their best at sticking
Each other full of holes
On, imminent and ccsmici
Oh, philosophic thought
oh, fundamental concept,
What have your teachings wroughf1
Why is This of Thusness?
The Hereness of the There?
Is this the way to cognate
The Atness Of your Where?
Come of your perch, o Boston!
This is pretty muss.
Go cheese your high ideals,
What are you giving US?
Go soak your bcasted culture
In sloppy pipes to Pan,
And from your saint take pattern
Saint John [, Sullivan.

Nav Sit TIL Midnight

Referring to his notice, given Friday, that
on Monday he would ask the Senate to ex-
tend its hours, Senator Harris said yesterday
that he would not at first expect to have the
sessions extended beyond 8 or 9 O'Clock,
but that II reasonable progress was not made
he would make an effort to extend the time
OF adjournment to IL o'clock or later. He
said that when the night sessions should be-
gin they would be continued until the tariff
bill should be disposed OF, and that he con-
sidered this proposed change of hours the
beginning Of the end.

TErEy RAISE THE1R VOICE.

Tie much-adyertised mass meeting of New
York business men ito protest against the in
come tax feature of the proposed new tariff
bill'' came OF in that city on Friday evening.
Quite appropriately. the gathering assembled
at Carnegie Music Hail. so called after the dis
tinguished ''philanthropist' Of that name.
Mr. Carnegie undoubtedly is in full accord
with the opposition to the unjust and in
quisitorlal income tax" although he has
kindly consented that some slight modifica-
tons may be made in the tariff
The mass meeting was failures dead,
fist failure. After several weeks OF prepa-
ration, and after the telegraph had prepared
the country from one end to the other for the
approaching monster meeting, something
less than one thousand people came together
as representatives of the business men OF the
metropolis. The dispatches inform US that
''the occasion was notable more for the char
acter of the audience than for the number
and enthusiasm of those who attended"
We further learn that "the call was signed
by nearly 500 representatives of the largest
business interests of the city, but only twice
the number Of signers attended the meeting
However, the y-thousand-dollar-a
presidents of loan and trust companies, in
surance companies, national and savings
banks, investment companies, and real estate
spectators were there in considerable force.
Elaborate preparations were made to accom-
modate the crowds that were expected, and
speakers were selected to address the over.
flow meetings. which would be a resultant ef-
feet OF this grand protest, a regular Moody
and Sankey crowd being expected. But they
didn't come. The wealthy workingmen were
snoozing in their beds; the industrious boot
blacks were counting over their boarded
wealth; the diamond-studded printers were
in the tail towers waiting for copy; the car
penters were building Aladdin palaces far up
In Harlem; the wealthy car-drivers and con-
ductors were making room up in 'front.'"
And so the poor millionaires had to flock by
themselves. The promoters waited for the
crowds. and postponed the speaking half an
hour. but the crowds were mostly working
their way down the Bowery.
And then the trust companies and insurance
companies and the banks got off the same

representing s446,oOo,0oo, presided, and in
his opening speech let fall the only pearl Of
wisdom of the evening. He said: ''Taxa-
ton and tariff should be considered simply
as business matters, and not political" and
that is what the people want-business. Those
who receive protection in massing millions

VERIFY, THE NEW SOUTH.

The immigration and Industrial Congress at
Augusta, Ga. adjourned on Tuesday last
after session of three days. 1t Is but doing
and successful convention that ever met in
the South. fits promises are kept, a new and
glorious South dates from this period.
For the first time in the history of this great
section of our country it has recognized the
importance and rights OF labor. We copy
from the proceedings of the convention:
Resolutions were adopted further reciting
that recognizing the fact that capital without
labor cannot develop the resources of q country,
neither can labor without capital, and that they
are equally dependent upon each other, and
that they are equally entitled to the fostering
care and just treatment of the courts and legis-
latures Of the country, and recognizing the fur
ther fact that neither can be induced to come
into these southern states without assurance
that it or they will be Justly and fairly dealt with
without regard TO the fact as to whether 1t Is
organized or unorgauized labor, or whether it be
the capital o. individuals or Of corporations:
therefore
Resolved, That II is the sense Of this convention
that it is the duty of every good citizen to use
his best endeavors and influence 10 see that
each receive the same fair, equal and impartial
Justice, and TO condemn and discourage all pre-
judice and impartiality that may exis. against
them.
Very little capital is required to put labor in
motion, and once started it produces the cap
ital that keeps it in motion. 1t is like the old
fashioned pump. AT the beginning you had
TO pour little water in the top to create a
suction, and thenceiorward the supply was
iheNhaustible.
The labor world will extend its congratula-
tions to the Augusta convention.

departments open on Sunday and until 9

benefit OF such people as cannot visit them

education. morality. and the best interests of
the public.
Very few people living in Washington have
any opportunity to visit the National Museum
and other interesting places in The city for
lack of time. 1t is no uncommon thing to
meet people in Washington who have lived
here for twenty years who have seldom, if
ever. been In the Smithsonian or National
Museum. The popularity of such action can
readily be Gauged blythe streams of humanity
who on each Sabbath day visit the geological
park. As many as $4,000 people have been

lence Is done to any ones feelings or morals.

THE DOOM OF LOVE.

Love kissed her lips and laughing eyes.
Then futtered on to fairer skies.
The rogue at every corner set
His gauzy little silver net.
So popular abroad he grew,
For favors everyone did sue.
In time he weary sporting grew,
Drew in his nets, said no adieu,
But sped in his first trysting place.
To find the maid in deaths embrace.
He wept and raved and cried "Forsooth,
True love shall never more run smooth"

Several conferences were held yesterday be-

but no definite plan of action was agreed on.
Mr.. Crisp does not like the long, drawn-out
debate and is desirous of securing a vote on
Monday or Tuesday. A caucus is being urged.
The main purpose of the caucus would be to
get up a state bank bill that could command

A REMARKABLE MOUTH.

Governor Peter Turney, OF Tennessee, Is an
octogenarian, having turned his eightieth
year before being inducted into his present
high Office. His great age has been no imped-
iment to the discharge of his official duties,
for SO acceptable has been his administration
that it Is said he will be reelected next Fall
with little or no opposition.
The remorseless interviewer lately got him
to define his position on national issues. In
the course of his remarks he used the quaint
expression: 'There are two hands to work
with and only one mouth to eat with"
This reminds us that the Governors hand
some mouth was once very nearly spoiled
both for eatirg and talking purposes. When
he was a confederate colonel :he was
more distinguished for courage than pru-
dence; and one day, leading his regiment in
fight, he caught mimic bullet in his mouth,
which did not prove as comfortable to hold as
quid of tobacco. 1t tore away part OF his
upper lip, forced several of his front teeth
down his throat, raked the roof OF his mouth,
cut off the end OF his palate, and got tangled
up in his cervical vertebra.
Strange to say, he quickly recovered from
this dangerous wound with only his articu-
lation impaired-a great misfortune to one OF
his genial and talkative disposition. 1t was
as difficult to understand him, and as painful
to listen to him, as the most pronounced Of
hair-lipped takers.
After the war he had the good fortune to
fall into the hands of some scientific saw
bones and contemporaries. who put up such
an excellent job in repairing his oral cavity
that scarcely trace Is percephble of his ter
rible wound, either in his features or his
voice. He can yet ''shoot OFF, his remarkable
mouth with old-time vigor and fluency.
