Ghosts.

When the brilliant hues OF the sunset fade
Into amber ana paly gold
When the wren and the robin sleep in the
glade.
And the shepherd shuts his fold:
When u g lamps are lit IN the deep blue
skies
And The toll OF the day is done
Pa!e, haunting ghosts OF the past arise
From the shadows one by one.
The ghost OF the words we did not say
IN the days forever ted
Comes out OF the shadows dim and gray;
and the ghost OF the words we sad,
or the cruel word, the litter word,
or the word OF blame or scorn,
That was Keen as the point Of a warriors
sword
On fateful battle morn.
The ghost OF the woes OF age and youth,
That we passed unloading by;
OF the griefs we aid not ask to soothe
OF the tears we did not dry:
or the Ills Of which We took no heed;
OF the grlev0us wrongs unfought-
Come with that OF many a churlish deed,
or OF good deed left unwrought.
They cluster round Us, these phantom shades.
These ghos OF the DAYS Of old.
As the cheeri ! g ow Of the daylight fades.
In the tWi RIu aim and cold;
AID iu vain We moan. and in vain we weep.
And we may not from them hide;
Closer aud closer these shadows Green
IN the twilight 10 o r slide.

sawney Wilson'S Pre- dtction.

The remarks of Sawney Wilson, the
president of the colored longshoremen'
union, at the conference between the ship
brokers and union longshoremen on Tues
day, that had been called by the mayor,
were of a character to arrest the atten-
ton of the authorities He predicted
that unless the differences between the
ship brokers and longshoremen were set
lied there would be trouble, resulting in
loss of life and property.
This prediction amounts to a threat-a
threat that the city authorities can
hardly AFFORD to let pass unnuticed. What
did Wilson mean} He certainly did not
mean that ne and the men he represents
are in danger of being attacked by
the non union longshoremen. He cold
have only meant one thing, aud that
is that if there was not a settlement of
the differences to which he ca led atIen-
ton, the men he represents would resort
to violence, with the hope of accomplish
ing by that means what they failed to &C
com lish by peaceable means
The mayor has said that he would not
tolerate violence of any kind. 1t is his
duty to see that the peace is not
broken and that order is pre-
served. In discharging his duty he
will have the sup ort of the entire
community. Admitting that there are
differences of opinion as to the merits
Of the controversy between the
longshoremen's union and the ship
brokers, there areno differences of opinion
as to the necessity for preserving the
peace. There are laws q ainst rloting,
and violence Of any other kind, ana they
will be upheld.
Sawney Wilson, if he did not mean that
he and those he represents would make
trouble that would result in the loss of
lie and property, was very unfortunate
in the expressions he used Whatever
rights he and others are entitled to
can be obtained in legitimate ways
| They certainly will not be per-
mitted to undertake to obtain
what they regard as their rights by vio-
| lent methods Life and property are
under the protection Of the laws and the
laws will be upheld at any cost.

The theory that China must win her
war with Japan because of her vastly
greater numbers dos not seem
10 be working out very fast
China has already publicly ac-
knowledged having been outwiJ,ed by
Japan in the inauguration of the war, and
on two occasions since. The degrading of
Ii Hung Chang and Of Admiral Ting is
an Acknowledgement Of tins. Ii permit
ted China TO be caught unprepared, and
Ting permitted the Japs TO establish a
base Of naval operations near Port Ar
thur, and later 10 land troops at the Yalu
river and thus cut OF the supplies of the
Chinese army in Korea. As the situation
appears TO be, from late cables. The Japan
csc have all the best Of the fight despite
China's superior strength IN men. The
greatest number Of men that China could
possibly send into Korea, without modern
arms, would be ineffective against the
japanese, armed As they are with modern
guns, great and small, and commanding
not only the water route from China to
Korea, but the neck Of the Korean penia-
sular also.

Miss Ellen J. Dortch is the leading can

coming Atkinson administration. So far
as is known, there is no legal bar to her
holding the Office. She has done good

her newspaper, the Miliedgeville Chron-

possessed of the qualifications necessary
10 the proper discharge of the duties of
the Office she seeks.

that the Minnesota forest fires were

posed in the New York constitutional CON
vention. OF the number not less than
threefourths have been rejected either
in committee or by the convention. The
fate Of the remaining 100 amendments is
by no means assured, and an Albany COR
respondent doubts whether half dozen
amendments will survive the final sitting
process before the adjournment. Accord

1t was Christmas Eve in Moscow,
and every one was busily preparing
for the great festival of the next day,
when a tall man, so muffled in a thick
sheepskin frock that he might almost
have been mistaken for q woolsack,
came tramping over the crisp snow
past the red, many-turreted wall of
the Kremlin, leading after him by a
chain a huge brown bear, which plod-
ded gravely at his heels without TAX
ing any notice of the admiring stares
and pointing fingers of the countless
groups that eddied carelessly to and
fro through the "Krasnaya Plosht-
chad" (Red Plain)
Hello, brotherr cried a stout, red
faced, blu-frocked izvoshtchik (hack-
mani, who was driving slowly past
in search Of fare. Where are go
ing with Meesha?" ii. e., Michael, the
Russian nickname for a bear).
They're going to have him and me
in Christmas show at one Of the big
circuses," replied the bear leader,
and to give us twelve rubles (nine
dollars) a night Not bad, eh?"
And by what name are you two 60
ing to appear in the bills?" asked a
dandified young fellow in a smart new
fur cap. You'll be The Renowned
Bear Brothers, l suppose"
That's it, my lad" said the beast
tanner; "and as bears generally have a
monkey to perform along with them,
hadn't you better come and join us?"
The laugh was now turned against
the jester, who, irritated by the re-
tort, took off his fur cap, and began
to tease the bear by Tipping him in
the face with it,
You'd better stop at that game, my
fine fellow said the bears guardian,
warningly. "Meesha's q good-natur-
ed creature enough in his way. but he
don't understand being joked with by
strangers, though he doesn't mind il
from me. He's got teeth of his own.
l can tell you, and if he makes one
bite at you, l rather fancy you'll find
your sum comes out wrong the next
time you try to count on your fingers"
But the dude was not to be warned,
either by the words of the man or the
low growls of the beast, and was con-
tinuing to plague the bear, when all
at once the shaggy head was thrust
forward, and the juge jaws opened
and shut with a snap like the falling
of a steel trap. The joker drew back
his hand just in time TO save it, but
at the same moment he saw his fine
new fur cap (which had cost SD van
ish like pill into the bears capa-
cious mouth, amid roar of laughter
from the crowd.
Serves YOU right, young fellow"
said the bear tanner, with stern satis-
faction. You've made him a nice
Christmas present, anyhow; and
there's no fear of your brains catch
ing cold for want of it, for you don't
seem to have any"
