If were in the valley land,
And You far up the mountain blue,
Would you just turn and wave your hand
And bid me strive to follow you?
If were in the tossing sea,
And you upon the quiet shore,
Would you send out your help to me
And bid me TO my life once more?
If were cast from Heavens gate
And you within, so glad and fair,
knoW You would come forth and wait
Beside me, love, in my despair.

says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
The prisoner said something to the in

WASHINGTON, D. c., juno 3.-Tho sugar
schedule will again this wcols bc tho
central point around which tho pro.
ccedinga in tho senate will rovolvc.
Among humorous senators who worO
asked for their opinion as to when tho
dcbato on this schedule would cease,
not ono would attUmpt to fix definite
timo. Tho di,cussion has already pro-
ccedCd Tor thrro daye. which Is the
utmost timo that Democratic senators
would admit before tho debato was bc-
gun would DO necessary or allowed TO
It Some think it will bc possible to
reach verdict Monday or Tuesday,
while others assert that thero arc con-
tinGcncics which may postpone tho dis
position Of the schedule until tho latter
part OF the week.
Among other limos ot policy which
have buon couvcrsod with tho op.
poncnts Of the bill is that OF allowing
tho sugar schedule TO DO accepted as
amended by the committee on Gnanco
withouttaking any voto on the schedule
in committee Of the whole, tho object
being that tho opponents OF tho bill
shall not bo forced to show their hands
at this timo. and especially that they
may rofrain from exhibiting thelr sur
posed strength among Democratic aud
Populist senators.
Senator 1IarriB adheros to his dotcr.
mlnation TO ask the senate to prolong
its daily sessions into the evening, be-
ginning With tomorrow. Somo OF tho
Republican senators have taken his no
tice 10 mean that he will ask tho sena 10
to sit Monday until tho sugar schedule
shall bo disposed OF. but conversation
With him and with other Democratic
senators indicates that bis purpose Is
hardly SO detlnitc, but that tho in,en-
ton Is to presB as near to the goal as 4.
may bo possible to do.
"Wc want" said Senator Jones, "to
see that the senate docs a good day 8
work each day, and il it should be ap.
parent that thero has been no effort to
aecure delay for delays sake, We should
not probably ask for very extended
hours: but ii the proceedings should in.
dictate that tho long speeches arc to con-
tinuc wo should probably ask the ecn.
alto to sit well into the night"
Tho Republicans will probably resist
the attempt to extend the sessions be-
yond 6 o'clock to the extent Of at least
demanding that quorum be main.
tanned, aud some OF them will decline
to assist In making Il Quorum. The
Domocrats appreciate this difficulty
and will make m effort to have rs near
ly quorum of Democrats as possible
on hand to meet this emergency. They
have the pledges Of more than fifty con-
ators including most of the Populsts
and some Republicans. that they will
remain to MD in making q quorum rs
long as may ba required.
Senator Harris said to-day that when
the night sessions wcrc once begun they
would be continued until tho bill should
bo finally disposed OF. Meantime they
will maintain their efforts to got the
Republicans to agree to fix 4 day for tho
final vote.
