NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP


The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness every where.
Like troubled spirits here ami there,
The freight shadows fluttering 20,
And as the shadows round me creep
a childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a farther room
Comes. "Now lay me down TO sleep"
And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears
Ny thought goes back to distant years
And lnger r. with a dear one there
And a. hear the child's amen
My mothers faith comes back TO me.
Couched at her side | seem TO be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear placel
Oh, for the peace of that dear timel
Oh, for that childish trust sublime!
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face.
Yet a. the shadows round me creep
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And Nov lay me down to sleep"

QUEEN ELIZABETH is BOSS.
Mrs. Elizabeth Heilman Rules the Town OF
Williamsbridge with a Firm Hand.

The pioneer political boss Of her sex Is
undoubtedly Mrs Elizabeth Holman, OF
Queen Elizabeth, as she is better known
Mrs. Heilman cannot vote, but she is the
arbiter of the political destiny of every
man who does vote in tho town of vii.
liamsbridge, Il suburb of New York city.
The question as to whether or not the
word male should be striomnn out of
She state constitution is a ma~a of small
concern to Mrs. Holman. If an objection
able male Gro SEES her path in Williams
bridge, she does not eXpend any time in
wondering whether to strike him out or
not, but she simply disposes Of the ques-
ton instanter by knocking him out.
This has been wearing year for many
BOSSES but Queen Elizabeth is still doing
well. She was recently made postmistress
of Williamsbrdge. and although she rules
the politics Cf the place very little scandal
has arisen during her reign. She is every
inch boss, and yet she is a model boss.
Thus in the case of Mrs Holman an ex-
pectant public is enabled to get line on
the bossism of the future w hen woman
emancipated woman, will run the politics
of our fair land.

THE TARIFF MIDDLE AGAIN

The Presidents ultimatum that coal
and iron be placed upon the free list
was submitted to the Senate on Thurs
day in the form of motion for the
Senate conferees to recede, and voted
down by an overwhelming majority.
Only one Democrat besides Hill-Irby of
South Carolina-voted for it. This vote
is tantamount to an instruction to the
Senate conferees to stand firm for a duty
on coal and iron, and.means that il any
tariff bill ever gets to the President
it will be one containing a duty on coal
and iron. At the same session in

1t does look somewhat unselfish for
Mr.. Deering to make the sacrifice in
volved in accepting the Democratic can
didacy in this district. But it must be
remem bered that there is good deal of
patronage yet'to be distributed in this
region, and a congressional candidate
is in a position to be seen by the dis
tributor. How would Brother Deering
do for compromise candidate for the
custom house? Messrs. Frank, Anderson
and Clifford could hardly make an effec-
tive protest should the President fix his
eye upon him, for they have all borne
public testimony of the strongest kind
to his greatness and goodness.

articles. The situation then is this. The
Senate has by an overwhelming vote
ueelueo TO retain the duty on iron ana
| coal; and the President has caused it
! TO be announced to the Senate that he
would rather see no tariff legislation at
| ali than duties retained on those articles.
I lhefe has been some talk that the Sen
ate might consent to reciprocal ar
rangement in regard to coal. putting it
| on the free list from those countries to
which our coal is admitted free of duty.
| But there is very slight probab ility that
1t will consent to any such arrangement
! as that unless it is perfectly well known
| beforehand that no country that is SO
| situated as to compete with our hituml-
nous coal production will make the con-
| session that the arrangement involves
The Senators who have been fighting
for duty on coal and iron and who
have made such duty condition pre-
cedent for their votes have been fighting
not for mere shadow, but for the sub
stance. Their States are large producers
OF bituminous coal, and their constitu-
ents have demanded protection on that
article just as vigorously as the people
OF Louisiana have demanded and secured
| a duty on sugar. To enter into the pro-
posed reciprocal arrangement with a
prospect that coal would soon be COM
| ing in from the Nova Scotia coal mines,
would be to keep the promise to the ear
and break it to the hope. The
bituminous coal States would regard it
as a trick, and their resentment against
their Senators would be of a very fierce
character. The Senators from these
States could much better afford to have
coal placed on the free list without any
qualification, than placed there through
this reciprocal arrangement They could
claim then at least that they were true
to the Democratic policy of free raw
material, but if they consent to this reci-
procal arrangement they get no credit
for allegiance to principle, and they con-
vict themselves of cheating their con-
stituents and weakly surrendering after
proclaiming to the country that they
would never surrender The reciprocal
arrangement cannot go through unless
it is clear beforehand tt at no country
will accept it, or unless German and
Brice and three or four more of the So
called conservatives are wiling to roll in
the dust of humiliation.
1t seems, therefore, to be as certain as
anything in the future can be that the
Senate conferees will stand firm for taxed
coal and iron, and that the House will
soon have to decide whether it will
consent to that orlaccept the alternative
of no tariff bill at all. The signs indi-
cate that Notwithstanding the pressure
being put upon them by the President,
the Democratic members of the House
are weakening. They want to go home,
and they don't want to go home and
make the humiliating confession that
they have been unable to repeal that
eliminating atrocity" the Mckinley
bill. Therefore in spite of the protest of
the President, and, Speaker Crisp and
Chairman Wilson, the House is likely to
accept the Senate bill modified slightly
perhaps in the sugar schedule, and put
upon the President the responsibility of
saying finally whether the bill shall or
shall not become a law.

CURRENT COM MENT.
CONGRESSMAN REEDS DENOMINATION.
From the Bangor Whig.]

CONGRESSMAN REEDS RECONCILIATION.
[From the Bangor Whig.1
The Republics of the First Congress-
ional District have unanimously renomi-
mated Hon. Thomas B. Reed thus COM
plotting the Congressional ticket. Mr..
Reed was never stronger in his distri ct
than he is today and that he will be
triumphantly reelected by rousing
majority in September is practically con-
coded by the Democrats themselves who
have made nomination as mere mat
ter of form. The chances are thatit will
again be Speaker Reed in the next
House and the people of the entire coun-
try will enthusiastically welcome the
change. This Democratic House has
been forced to adopt the Reed rules and
the voters will see that they are contin-
ued in force in the next with Mr.. Reed
himself in the chair. u
[From the Kennebec Journal
1t may seem that nominating Hon.
Thomas B. Reed for Congress has be-
come an old story. 1t has but it is one
of those old stories one never tires of. In
the history of first district conventions
there has been no more enthusiasm than
was exhibited by the unusually large
number OF delegates who assem- bled at
Biddeford Tuesday to renominate Mr..
Each succeeding term has made him
stolnger with the people of his district.
They have come to appreciate more and
more his spotless integrity. his unswerv-
ing loyalty to principle, and his brilliant
attachments which have added lustre to
the fame of the First district. But the
people of the First district now appreci
ate another fact, that knowledge of
these characteristics of their representa-
tive is not confined to his district, that
they are known and admired throughout
the land. The man who, as Speaker of
the last Republican Congress, stood
tower of strength for the rule of the
majority and was bitterly maligned by
the opposite political party, goes before
the voters OF his district triumphantly
vindicated in the humiliation of his o.
ponents at being compelled to adopt the
very rule which Mr.. Reed put into prac-
tical operation. But his triumph in
this, as in other respects. is not in the
broadcast sense personal. 1t belongs to
the Republican party OF this nation, to
wise craftsmanship. and places him
today foremost among those equipped 10
