WHAT OF THAT9

Tired! Well, what 81 that?
IT'S but a common thing, is weariness-
And only by exertion's painful stress
May life attain through discipline its goal
And bring to duty's shrine strengthened soul.
Lonely! Well, what of thatp
What is companionship, then, after all,
But some ideal that is bound to fall
And only through greater sacrifice
Prove joy unworthy of the purchase price2
Dark! Well, what of that?
Hung e'er night above this pilgrimage
So dark it's stars might not our fears assuage?
Alas! such consolation fills the night
soul of sorrow wishes not the light.
Hard! Well, what of that?
The CALLING yoke has calloused SO the neck
Of aspiration that it gives no check
To long accustomed habit-all life's task
Is grateful exercise crushed hope would ask.
No help! Well, be it SO.
The stouter courage must we then display
And show stole front to stern d1smay.
Thus, when all faithfully life's work is done,
Some unseen hand will fit a crown well won.
George E. Bowen in Chicago Inter Ocean.
The following is the poem furnished
by our correspondent;
Tired! Well, what of that?
idst fancy life was spent on beds of ease,
luttering the rose leaves scattered by the
breeze?
Come, rouse thee! work while it is called
today.
Coward, arise! go forth upon thy way.
Lonely! And what of that?
Some must be lonely! tbs not given to all
To feel a heart responsive rise and fall,
TO blend another life into it's own,
Work may be done in loneliness. Work on
Dark! Well, and what of that?
Didst fond1y dream that the sun would
never set?
Dost fear to lose thy way? take courage yet!
Learn thou to walk by faith, and not by
sight;
Thy steps will guided be, and guided right
Hard! Well, what of that?
Didst fancy life one summer holiday,
With lessons none to learn, and naught
Go get thee to thy task! conquer or die;
It must be learned! Learn it thens patiently.
No belpi Nay, 'tis'not SO!
Though human help be far, thy God is nigh.
who feeds the ravens, hears His children
He's hear thee. whereso'er thy footsteps
And he will guide thee. light thee, help
thee home. 9Hr

A Suspicious Resemblance.
To the Editor Of the Press:

Portland, April 27, '94.
Dear Sir-In your issue of Monday, April
23d. I find this poem "What of That?"
attributed to Geo. E. Bowen, copied from
the Inter Ocean. I send a copy have
had for years in my scrap-book of one so
like. it is very noticeable, but mine is
without title or authors name. Surely
Bowen's is no improvement on the original
either in thought or artistic rendering. I
would like you to publish the copy enclose,
and INQUIRE for the author. 1t is too fine,
to be unrecognized and without name. If
Bowen composed this, he better go back to
the original. Very Truly.

A PROCLAMATION

Maine takes just pride in the beauty and
loneliness of her natural scenery, which
makes the state so attractive, not only to
our own people but to those seeking. within
our borders, pleasures and recreation and
the health giving breeze from our mountains
and sea.
And while nature. with a lavish hand, has
bestowed grace and beauty and variety to
our landscape, yet it is in accord with the
sentiment of our people, to devote special
day, in the springtime, in adorning and
identifying the homes, the public and
private parks, the school grounds and high
ways of the state. by planting trees and
shrubs and vines. I, therefore, set apart
Wednesday, the ninth day of May, to be

THE ROUTINE WORK.
The Tariff Bill Expected to Reach the
President Tomorrow Night

President Cleveland will receive the tariff
bill late tomorrow afternoon or early Thurs
day, unless some unexpected obstacle is
encountered. It Will be carried TO him by
Representative Pearson of Ohio, chairman
of the House committee on enrolled bills.
who has final charge of seeing that the
bill is rigidly accurate.
AS soon as the bill passed last night word
was at once sent to the government print
ing office to prepare the final print on
parchment Before printing the parch-
ment sheets, proofs were taken and
sent to the enrolling clerks of the House.
They were prepared for all-night work and
two of them, MeSSrS. Parsons and Kelley
locked themselves in q room and went ar
the work determined to finish it before
taking a recess.
Throughout the night they finished the
proofs, and fou2d them correct They then
took up the parchment sheets. This COM
parison Will take until o'clock today. 1t
cover the most minute inspection of COM
mas, periods and typographical errors. No
corrections of errors made In the bill as II
passed are made, as they must stand as er-
rors, and nothing but concurrent resolu-
tion of the Senate and House can correct
them. The clerks merely see that the
parchment bill is as the measure passed the
House,
Later today Mr.. Pearsons committee Will
receive the bill, and they are prepared to
sit up through tonight in revising and then
certifying to the work of the clerks. Mr.
Pearson says he hopes this will be COM
pleted by tomorrow noon. He will then
take the bill to Speaker Crisp for his sig
nature. The House then transmits the
signed bill to the Senate, with an official
notification of its passage. 1t then goes to
the Senate enrolling clerks for further GER
tificetiOn of accuracy, and then to Vice
President Stevenson for his signature. Mr.
Pearson says he expects these formalities
to be over by o'clock tomorrow
AS the bill originated in the House the la Z
ter body conveys it, through Mr.. Pearson 10
the President. As a rule Mr.. Pearson docs
not take bills to the White House after ON
cial hours, but in a bill of this moment he
says he will endeavor to get it there tonor-
row night, unless some unforeseen delav is
encountered.

Expected by Treasury officials in
the Next Ten Days.
WHISKY TO Be WITHDRAWN FROM BOND
Also Large Quantities Of Goods
From Bonded Warehouses.
NO ADMINISTRATI CHANGE

Treasury officials anticipate a very great
increase in the receipts from internal rev.
enue sources within the next ten days in
case the President allows the tariff bill to
become a law by Withholding his sigma
ture. At Pekin, ILL.,, the receipts yester-
day reached $4,000, and in the district of
Maryland they amounted to $4,000.
Large amounts of whisky and spirits at
all of the great distillery centers have been
regauged at the solicitation Of owners, and
as IL cannot be regauged again, IL Is as
sumed that practically all of it will be with
drawn, IL possible, before the bill becomes
law. During the next ten days the internal
revenue receipts are expected to reach
N,JH,OOO day.
Increased Custom Receipts Expected.
The customs officials of the treasury ex-
pect also a marked increase in customs
receipts from now on, and particularly dur
ing the next month or so.
Large quantities of goods now held in the
bonded warehouses at New York, Boston
and other large seaport cities will be with
drawn as soon as possible after the bill be-
comes law, to meet the demands of the
fall trade. Dry goods and furnishing goods
and rotions of all kinds will form a large
item in these Withdrawals The reduction
OF % cents per pound in the duty on cigars
is expected to stimulate trade to some ex-
tent in that direction. The administration
char ged in all its details. The administra-
tive features Of the House bill were stricken
out In the Senate, thus leaving the admins
trative act of June 10. 1880. in full force OK
cept that the Senate interjected a para
graph providing fer the licensing of GUS
toms house brokers.
The Hat Trimnings Paragraphs.
The hat trimmings paragraphs In the new
bill are quite satisfactory to the customs
officials and removes a very serious obiec-
ton in the bill as it came from the House
AS presented to the Senate this feature of
the bill left open, 1t is said. a wide door
through which silk goods could be brought
In as hat trimmings at reduction of from
90 cents TO - cents. Practically this same
provision in the act of 1883 resulted in the
suits for refunds of SJ0.0p00oO, now pend
ing in the New York courts.
Any Inconsistencies which may be found
in the bill can be cured only by special acts
and II is feared these may not pass easily
The administrative act of 1870 itself cures
duplica tions of articles at different rates
and other Inconsistencies of that character
but as to all other matters curative acts
VIII be necessary.

The Appropriations Resolution.
CAN CONGRESS ADJOURNf
1t Will Probably Remain a Week a,
Ten Days Yet.

The opinion rendered April l6 last by
Judge Mott of the United States Court Of
Claims in the case of the United States
against Alice We'll and others is Of special
interest at this time. AS is well under
stood. both houses of Congress are extreme
ly anxious for an adjournment. and. under
ordinary circumstances. would be ready for
adjournment by the middle Of the present
week.
The passage Of the Senate tariff bill, how
ever. is very likely TO keep them here at
least ten days waiting for the bill TO be-
come a law without the Presidents sigma
tCre. That the President will pursue this
course there seems to be little doubt and
this will nccessitate Congress remaining
in session until a week from next Friday
Saturday.
The opinion rendered by Judge Mott was
the first ever given on the point I'm aues-
ton, and held, in effect that the President
has the right under the Constitution 10 an
prove a bill after an adjournment OF Con-
gress, provided his action was taken within
ten days. exclusive of Sundays, after the
bill reaches him. 1t had become a tradi-
ton that such an act would he lnconsti-
tutional, and would operate to inValIdate
the act. The opinion of Judge Mott has
been widely commented upon, but II is the
opinion Of many high authorities, among
them Chief Justice Thomas NJ Cooley az
Michigan ard Justice Strong (reti-eD of the
United states Supreme Court, that Judge
Notts conclusions are entirely sound and
right.

VOTE ON THE TREATY.
Ii Was ns Nearly Sectional ns Any
That Has Been Given.

1t now develops that the large vote In the
Senate yesterday In favor OF the ratlnca-
ticn OF the Chinese treaty was a surprise
TO the opponents Of that enactment. They
had calculated that the west would surely
overbalance the east IN such contest. but
IL seems that they reckoned without their
host and had not counted the strength Of
the southern men, whose votes were almost
solidly cast for ratification. on the ground
Of loyalty to the administration. As it
was. the western men held together. ana,
with the rotable exception of senator
White OF California. opposed the treaty
with their ballots. The east was almost as
solid in favor Of ratification, though three
votes from New England, those of Gall
linger Lodge and Hoar, went TO the nega-
tive side. IL was as nearly a sectional
fight as has been seen. outside OF the tariff
and other general political matters. in a
long time.

Ba1timOre's Shipping Commfssioner
Objects to Alleged Summary Actiop

A petition for mandamus was filed this
afterloon with the clerk of the court by
Littotcn p. D-yden against Secretary of
the Treasury John G.. Carlisle Mr.. DRYDEN
states that he Is the United States shipping
commissioner for the port of Baltimore
having been appointed to the office by Sec
retary Foster, April IA, 1891. He entered
upon his duties, and has ever since properly
performed the duties of the office and is
now properly performing the same, and has
been recognized as United States shippir z
commissioner for the port of Baltimore by
Secretary Foster and Secretary Carlisle
ON Thursday, August s, the bill continues
Secretary Carlisle undertook and attempt
ed to remove Mr.. Dryden from the office
In question and to appoint Albert c. Kir-
wan thereto. Mr.. Dryden then quotes sec
ton 4Jol of the Revised Statutes by virtue
of which he was appointed, and which pro-
Vides that the Secretary may remove a
shipping commissioner from office whom
he may have reason to believe does not
properly perform his duties"
MIR. Dryden asserts that he has performed
his duties properly and offers to bring proof
of that fact, and asserts that no charges
have been presented against him. or If they
have, no opportunity to answer the same
has been afforded him.
Judge Cole ordered that a rule to show
cause against the issue of the writ be set
down for argument on August p.
