BLOSSOM RAIN.
Roses of Heliogabalus indeedi
Imperial whim imperially rehearsed
By one In wanton revelry well versed.
Unheard of luxury whose only creed.
OF such CRsaran freaks I'm not in need,
For since week, when cherry blossoms burst,
Followed by creamy pear bloom almost irst,
But never quite, with apples to succeed.
Even as l work sweet blossoms all the day
Lightly descend upon me from the trees,
Flying about in merry jocupd play,
Waited by every lightsome gust and breeze.
Like fragrant snow they downward softly

Roman thy retal feasts tempt all In vain

To clean the ground from too luxuriant weed.
You shall not altogether quite succeed,
But haply leave some standing hero and thera.
You hardly know is 1t a tsndrilled tsre
Or hydra headed grounsel whose fell speed
To grow and blossom and to turn to seed
Might whiten any decent head of hair.
But some fine day as down the path YOU 60

Or in between dull potato row

Or lonely poppy, flaming on waste land

Our Numerous Elections.

This year Virginia elected ten congress
men; next spring county officers all over
the State will have 10 be elected, and
next fall the election for members OF the
Legislature will take place. Thus our peo-
pie are carried through three campaigns
In one year. 1t Is too much politics. We
can never, as a people. have time 10 do
anything but talk politics There are too
many important matters that we neglect
and especially Is this the case with the
farmers. There are thousands Of people
opposed TO elections coming so often, and
why not reform in this as much so as in
anything else.-The buchanan Banner
The elections of members of the House
OF Representatives are fixed by law Of
Congress. though Congress has excepted
from the operation OF that law three or
four States. Our State Constitution fixes
the times for electing members Of the
General Assembly and county officers.
Whenever we have constitutional con-
vention this matter will come TO the front
as one worthy Of careful consideration.
We must say. however. that as to many
counties there are good reasons why coun-
ty elections should not be held at times
when party lines are strictly drawn. Per-
haps a good modification of the existing
provision Of our Constitution would be
TO leave to the General Assembly the de-
termination of the question as 10 when
county elections should be held
The amendments 10 the Constitution Of
New York just adopted separate munich
pal elections from the general elections.
However. the Banner utters an opinion
which is very prevalent In this state.
and, we repeat. whenever a convention is
held to revise and amend our State Con-
stitution this subject will come up for
very particular consideration.

The Mckinley Law.

Ex-Mayor Medill makes II known that
he does not intend to be a candidate for
the United States Senate from Illinois
upon the basis OF the Mckinley law.
Indeed we have seen no Democratic ar
raignment Of that law which equals in
pungency Mr.. Medills. He says:
THAT unfortunate bill cost the great.
proud Republican party the terrific de-
feat of 1880. leaving 1t in control of
scarcely a State in the Union, such was
the popular disgust and wrath. 1t suf-
fered defeat again In nearly all the state
and municipal elections of 1891, and was
overwhelmingly routed In the presidential
election of 1882, which swept away even
It's control OF the Senate. And II in the
coming senatorial selection the re-enact-
ment OF that politically disastrous bill Is
TO be made 4 test of party fealty and
good standing the recent hoodtlde OF Re-
publican victory will be followed all too
soon by shadows and sandbars for the
elated Republican craft now navigating
a deep-flowing stream of popular favor"
Tom Reed, Burruss, Platt, Harrison,
Morton, and the dark horse" will all
open fire upon the Mckinley bill In due
time. In fact, 1t may be set down as
absolutely certain that the Republicans
will not dare to go into the presidential
campaign advocating the restoration Of
that bill. Neither will they dare to adj
yocate any bill calculated to disturb the
buslness-interests of the country. In
short, tariff legislation IS going to be at
a discount for some years.

The Sunday Paper.

The Episcopal Church Congress, now
I'm session I'm Boston, consists of the
bishops and clergy from many parts OF
the country. One of the most interest
ing discussions which they have had was
on the Sunday paper. Some of the
strongest men In the congress took part
In that discussion. The Philadelphia In
quirer says of the speakers and their
subject
while some Of them opposed the Sun
day paper, they qualified their opposi-
ton by the conviction that 1t had come
to stay, and that the proper work OF
the Church was not TO abuse 1t, but TO
reform it. There were others, however.
who acknowledged the influence of the
daily newspaper, and declared that it
was bringing men into closer touch with
nature and humanity; that in 1t man
lives the whole worlds life; that II gives
him a world consciousness, and that the
day which has no newspaper loses that
much of the worlds life from conscious
ness. The logical conclusion, therefore,
was that there can be no day without a
newspaper. and that the tendency Of the
Sunday paper marks the tendency OF the
age to more and more make its days days
of the sun. by shining upon minds which
else would never see such rays, the
brightest Of contemporary genius"

Gas-Electricity Cities.

Actual experiment has demonstrated
such an enormous economy in the use OF
gas for motive-power in electric genera
ton that the Boston Herald argues that
It must very soon be regarded as the
height of extravaganza and wastefulness
10 burn gas directly for lighting purposes.
The Herald says:
THE reason lies in the superior light
efficiency of the incandescent electric
lamp over the gas flames. Even in the
former the greater portion OF the applied
energy is wasted as heat, and when some
means is devised whereby only the
amount Of energy necessary to produce
light alone is drawn upon, the cost or
illumination will be made exceedingly
cheap. But the energy that In gas flame
passes off In the shape Of heat is vastly
greater than in the electric lamp. An
electric lamp of a given capacity has
light efficiency 1873 times that OF a gas
fame with the same amount Of energy.
Allowing for the loss OF energy In the
various transformations from the gas
used In gas engine, 1t Is found that for
every candle-power produced by con-
Stunning gas In a burner direct there can
be produced through the intermediary of
the gas engine, dynamo, and incandescent
lamp. 257 candle-power from the same
gas"
We quote the Herald as to the actual
experiment we spoke Of just now:
Careful tests with gas engines at Cor
nell University show that with gas at
$50 thousand feet the cost OF electric
light with a sixteen candle-power lamp
ranges from three tenths Of a cent an
hour, when the engines are fully loaded,
20 thirty-four one hundredths and thirty
six one hundredths Of cent when rum
ming under light load. With gas burned
direct. on basis OF five feet an hour to
produce the same amount of light, the
cost would be three fourths Of cent"
In all these experiments Richmond il
interested. II II 10 the height OF extrava-
gancc and wastefulness to burn gas d.
rectiy for lighting purposes. then the
city fathers ought to look into the mat
ter. Immense quantities Of gas are daily
used In this city directly Tor lighting
purposes.

The Republican papers are trying to

IL NAV be safely assumed that there is
no danger that the new tariff. once IT Is
properly ard faithfully enforced, will fail
TO do all that It's originators, promoters.
and advocates have claimed for 1t.
We will here state once more that the
law taxing incomes yielded In 1866 more
than s72.0Oo000 and the next year more
than s6s,OOO,COc
The Press says that when the resump-
ton act OF 1915 was passed 1t was never
dreamed that IL would be used TO issue
bonds to pay the current expenses OF the
government No We have said as much
ourselves But 1t may be added that 1t

not each independent candidate also have

such rule Captain Martin Meredith

The Republicans themselves now realize
that they made stupid mistake in not
trusting these constables. Republican
nominees who were defeated In one or
more districts might have been success

Yes, the Republican leaders biundered'
and Numbered sadly and badly In pre-
ferring to trust TO "ballot-schools' rather
than to the honesty of the excellent
gentlemen appointed to do the duty OF
ballot reading for the illiterate.
When the House of Representatives
comes to consider the contested cases
we hope counsel for our side VIII pour
"hot shot into the ballot-school leaders
for advising so many colored voters to
pursue a course which practically dis
franchised them for the time being.
The Exponent says that 1t has written

Very well; we advise the Exponent to
present this evidence to the grand jury
