The Prodigal Son Revised.

mere was once wan OF the
Silver Tongue who said unto his
people: "Give me of your honors
and let me represent you in the
Capital of Nations, and when /
have made for you great name
in the Council Of Nations | will
return unto you that you may
approve Of my works.
And the people were pleased
with the words Of the Man Of the
Silver Tongue, and with one voice
they declared that he should have
oftheir honors and be their Repre-
sentative in the Council Of Nations
And it came to pass that when
the Man Of the Silver Tongus was
come to the Capital Of Nations,
tn t he forgot the people who had
given him Of their honors; and
When it was proposed n the Coun-
Gil Of Nations that tine great river
o. the country which had sent him
to the Council should be made to
bear to market sthe fruits of the
soil, the Silver Tongue raised up
his voice and declared unto the
Council that his people were more
interested in'the triumph of De no.
cratic principles than in the wei
fare of their own country.
\ And it wassso. that the money
which the Council would have
gwen for thes.bene6t Of that coun-
try was given to other countries;
for the Council said: Ibid not

Man Of the Silver Tongue, say
that they did not need it?"
And the Man Of the Silver
Tongue returned to his people,
and when they demanded Of him
why he had.. mot secured the money
which they needed to improve
their great river, he answered
them not; but he said: IL will ex-
plain unto YOU"
And it came to pass, that when
the Man of the Silver Tongue
lifted up his voice and spake, his
people were charmed by his words
even as the bird is charmed by the
serpent; and when he told them
how his words Of silver had in
creased the fame Of their elo
quence among the nations and
how he had been complimented
as their Representative, for his
matchless oratory, that they were
pleased; and approved Of his acts
and again gave him Of their
honors and chose him for their
Representative.
Notwithstanding. he did not
press the claims of that country
in the Council Of Nations.
And when it came to pass that
for the space Of ten years the Man
Of the Silver Tongue had been
given Of the honors of his people
and still he failed to obtain for
them the money wherewith to i'm

though he forgot his own people
which had honored him.
But it came to pass tn GER
tain maiden Of that country be-
came enamored of the Man Of the
Silver Tongue, when he was first
given of the honors Of his people;
and she sorely tempted him and
seduced him and compelled him to
do as she s,id; and he was content
to do as she said and abode
with her many days. notwithstanC-

it not.
But wher, after many years, the
Man Of the Silver Tongue tired of
that ma den, she went to the rue S
Of the CAPITAL Of Nations and
denounc d him before all people,
and demanded that he be COM
PEELED to pay her much money for
the time he had abode with her
and for his failure to make her his
wife; and the scandal thereof was
very great.
And when the judges had con-
suited and heard all the facts TIL Y
commanded the Man Of the Silver
Tongue to pay great sum Of
money to that maiden.
But the people Of that country
were exceeding wroth and de-
nounced the Man Of the Silver
Tongue for the scandal which he
had brought upon them. he being
their Representative in the Capital
Of Nations.
And when the Man of the Silver
Tongue had denounced the judges
which condemned him, he took
thought and said unto himself:
WAS not the fatted calf killed for
the prodigal son? Verify, l will
arise and go unto my people and
confess what l have done; and
they will again give me of their
honors.
But when he was come unto his
own country certain of the good
men saw him afar off, and they
pierced through his disguise, and
knew that he was not truly re-
pentant; for they said: Did the
prodigal son expect the fatted calf
to be killed for him? Verify. he
asked only for the crumbs which |
fell from the table, and not to be
the ruler Of the feast.
And they denounced the Man
Of the Silver Tongue and warned
their people against him.
But when he of the Silver
Tongue was come and saw that
the good men pierced through his
disguise, and received him not as
the prodigal was received, he was
exceeding wroth.
And gathering together great
at the city called the
Capital OF the Bluegrass, he stood
up in their midst; and forgetting
how he himself was in need OF
charity, he denounced those good
men and caused his followers to
denounce them; and there was a
dispute in that country and the
noise of it reached all nations.
But the good men kept silent

STILL MAKING FACES.

Every body is familiar with the aDecdote
of the schoolboy who declared that he
would make things even with a fellow
schoOlboy for sound'thrashing by max
ing faces at the other fellows sister.
President Cleveland is applying this form
of vicarious punishment to the Hawaiian
Islands. The people of the islands, not
having followed Mr.. Cleveland's advice to
restore the monarchy and recrown the de-
throned Queen, are now to be deprived OF
the privilege of entering sugar free into
the American market. The object of the
treaty which Mr.. Cleveland proposes TO
abrOgate was to bring the islands and the
United States closer together. The privi-
lege Of free sugar in the American marke t
while all other sugar was paying a duty of
cents pound was worth a great deal of
money to the island planters. 1t gave an
impetus TO business ard enabled the peo-
pie of the islands TO be large consumers
of American products. Naturally San
Francisco got the benefit of this trade
Since the repeal of the sugar duty in 1890
business at the islands has been compar-
atIvely dull. The reimposition of duties
on sugar by the present Congress very
nearly restores the old condition of things.
But now the President proposes to give
notice that in a year the treaty of reci-
procity between the islands and the United
States will be abrogated. Mr.. Cleveland
still has the schoolboy's means of getting
even. He can make faces il nothing else.

THE BELT RAILWAY.

Mr.. T. S. Stratton, attorney for the Board
of Harbor Commissioners, has addressed
al opinion to the board in which he up
holds them in The use they have permitted
the Market-street Railway to make of the
belt railway line. he quotes the law
which declares that the Board of Harbor
Commissioners shall not lease or in any
way permit any corporation to lay tracks
for railways along any OF the property de-
scribed therein. or any portions of the
water front Of San Francisco. But Mr..
Stratton holds that the inhibition applies to
steam railways exclusively. 1t was not
intended to include cable or electric rail-
ways. The ground TOR the opinion that
the law does not exclude cable and cleo
trio cars is the practice of the board in per-
uniting such cars to enter upon and cross
East street in approaching the ferries. 1t
will be admitted that in providing for a
belt line OF railway along East street the
Legislature did not intend to shut San
Francisco out from the bay. 1t was left
TO the board to find some means of crossing
which wouid not prevent the fulfillment
of the purpose for which the belt line was
authorized. But the railway track Of
which complaint has been made crowds
had set apart for ii. The attorney for the
board justifes his opinion on the ground
that the electric railroad which has taken
possession of East street is at all times
under the control Of the board. This is an
intimation that if at any future time the
Stale should want the land the Market
street Company is taking possession of
the board will issue an order and the Mar
ket-street Company will remove its track.
1t might not be just to Mr.. Stratton to as
sert that be does not believe that the Mar
ket-sueet Company would vacate premises
at the order Of the board, but it is quite
safe to assert that Mr. Stratton enjoys a
monopoly of such belief if he entertans it,
Protests have been made against the con-
struction OF Market-street railway tracks
on the belt line because of the general be-
lief that that company, which is one of
the numerous aliases of the Southern Pa
citic Company. would not remove its track
if the board should order such removal
The apparent purpose of the Southern Pa
cllc is 10 prevent the common use of the
belt line which the law provides for.

OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT HOUSE

There Is reasonable ch aDce for the Re-
publlcanS to carry the next House, but to
do so they must make large and uniform
gains. There are in the present House
but 12S Republicans. To secure bare
majority they must gain ffty-one men,
bers and lose none. The field within which
that gain can be looked for is limited.
The South has 40 members in the present
House, and expects to return them all.
There is just hope of Republican gains
in Louisiana, in Tennessee, Kentucky,
West Virginia and Maryland, where the
Democrats are badly shaken up over tariff
issues; but the experience of other wears
tempers hopes of gains in Southern States
with msgivings. Ii the Democrats hold
their present strength in the South the
election of fifty-nine members in all the
Northern States would give them a ma

keep the Democrats from electng fifty
nine members in all the Northern States.

NOT EXACTLY SO.

The Cleveland PlaindeaLer has made the
following contribution to American fic-
ton:
The $9,375, $50 paid last year by the Govern
ment as 4 bounty TO American producers OF
raw sugar was taken from the treasury and
given 10 he sugar trust, while under the Senate
bill the trust Will be compelled to pay into the
treasury SAC, 100000 year i'll duties on raw
sugar and receive no bounties whatever.
The money taken from the treasury un-
der the Mckinley law was paid out to
American producers of sugar. ConsIdera-
Bile of it was paid to beet sugar grown in
this State and more to cane sugar grown
in Louisiana. The business OF the trust is
TO refine sugar, not to grow il. Under the
Senate bill the trust will, undoubtedly,
after the first year, paw something like
$46 000, 900 into the treasury. But this year
it will put pretty much all the $40. 000, 900
into its own treasury and charge the peo-
pie the same price for sugar as if it paid
the money to the Government. One of the
things past comprehension Is that Demo-
ckats should continue to talk about their
tariff legislation.
