A SONG OF HER LOVE.

o hills, in glory lean
And bath your brows in light;
Ovelvet valleys, soft between,
Dream gently to the night;
For she hath said: 81 love-" and she
Hath given all that love to me!
o birds, with thrilling throats,
Glad let your music be;
o rivers, where the splendor floats,
Flow singing to the sea
For she hath said. ~ love" and she
Hath made that love a crown for me!
o world, grown green to greet
The joy that comes apace;
Your roses for her footsteps sweet
Your sunlight for her face
For she hath said l. II love-" and she
Hath made that love heaven for me

month, she appeared palmer and more
commonplace than ever.
eff he never saw me perhaps"
The thought had forced itself more
than once in her mind, but she had
beaten it back and prayed that Lewis
Darlington might see again.
Marion went her way home, and
climbed up three flights of stairs to
her room. 1t looked dark and cold
almost as cold as the streets outside,
where the sleet was falling. She lit
the gas stove and made herself cup
of tea. Then she looked out the
nurses clothes which she used to wear.
The aprons wanted stitch here and
there. This occupied her for some
time By eight o'clock all was fin
ished. The sleet was still beating
against the window. Even if she had
had anywhere to go she could not have
gone. But it was having nowhere to go
that made her feel SO lonely. There
was nothing to do but sit still and
think Marion was generally too busy
for this, but tonight she could not
help thinking little bitterly of the
loveless life she led. And then she fell
to wondering what that other one was
like. Of course she was pretty. There
was photograph of girl upon Oar
rington's mantlepiece, with mora
Thurston" scrawled across the foot.
Doubtless that was she.
ooh, if I might be just little beau
tiful, Just for little while!" she
sighed to herself. Then, rejecting
that the wish WAS absurd, she had her
supper--a couple of biscuits and a
glass of mill--and went to bed
There are two kinds of women
those who offer sacrifice and those
who demand it. The latter must have
something to lean upon; the former
must have some one to support, some
body to feed or fondle or convert. 1t
may be husband, it may be curate
or a cat or o cannibal. Now Marion
Norman was one of those women who
long vaguely for some one for whose
sake they shall have right to sacri-
fee themselves.

That Competing Railroad.

Oh the slow years come, and the slow years go,
And Childhood stands with his face aglow;
And he looks on the valley wide and fair
Where the citizens pay all the traflic'll bear;
And his face is bright in the morning light,
And his soul has faith in the true and right,
And the whisper of hope in his soul he hears:
'1he valley will bloom in the coming years,
For we'll have a competing railroad"
Oh. the slow years come, and the slow years go,
And the suns of life in the zenith glow;
And the youth has grown to the thoughtful
man,
And he looks on the valley one road doth span;
And all that the traffic will bear he'll pay;
While he says - in his bad old way.
Then he closes his teeth while he VOWS VOW;
wen end this oppression right here and now,
For wen have competing railroad"
Oh, the slow years come, and the slow years go,
Ana Age creeps on with his locks of snow;
And he totters on with a brow of care,
W lille he still pays all that the trafficll bear.
Then the ang,l comes with its icy breath,
And it touches his heart with the touch OF
death:
And weeping friends hear him whisper low:
"There'll be a-change" (oh, the words come
slow,
'"For we'll have-a-compet-ing rdil-road"
Oh. the slow years come, and the slow years go,
And Gabr'l at last doth his trumpet blow:
And out of the vale OF the San Joaquin
Troop the waiting ranks of the dead ween.
Then theywaitr dread and the voice doth say
aye journeyed not by the narrow way
And they all reply, though their spirits break:
"There was only one road that we could take,
But We'll have competing railroad"

mate that it will cost So, 500 600 to restore the
harbor at Greytown. Mr. Turpie "has heard
a naval officer say $4,000 900 would be re-
quired." Which is the better evidence? Yet
Mr.. Turpe seems to prefer the off hand, un.
supported remark OF a naval officer, who is
presumed to have no detailed knowledge of
the situation, to an official report. Mr. Tur-
pie has reputation of attacking subjects with
intemperate heat, This also seems to imply a
lack of sound Judgment, as illustrated in this
instance Such i'll advised opposition should
do the canal proposition more good than
harm. At any rate Washington opinion seems
to be that the measure is almost sure to pass.

exclusively in the HERALD, where all
the news OF Southern California is now
published, has excited the ire of the
powers that rule this land OF liberty
with an iron hand. and we may expect
to hear the beating of the corporation

IN UNFORTUNATE COMPARISON.

The Oakland Tribune uses the report
of State Controller Colgan to make an
invidious comparison between Alameda
and Los Angeles counties concerning
their respective debts. The Tribune
makes the point that Alameda ia one Of
the counties which carries no bonded
indebtedness. and that although there
was floating indebtedness outstanding
at the close OF the year amounting TO
$40, 1856 05, the treasury contained
enough money to pay the obligations.
The Oakland paper proceeds with its
comparison. laying stress on the debt of
this county and claiming that the debt
of Alameda county is practically fc-
ton, as 1t merely represented, at the
time the statement was made, unre.
deemed warrants outstanding"
1t is true that Los Angeles county has
bonded debt of nearly a million dol
lars, contracted, for the greater part,
during the past ten years. This debt is
represented in Improvements with
which those OF Alameda county, during
it's thirty-6ve years of existence, cannot
compare. Ii is debt that indicates en-
terprise and progress-a debt contracted
to lay the foundation of an empire; it is
a debt that has enabled Los Angeles
county in ten years to accomplish more
than Alameda county has accomplished
in thirty-five years OF constant taxation
to the limit Of its resources.
Twelve years ago Los Angeles was a
pueblo-a deeert where scarcely a rock
cast a shadow in weary land; whore
the cactus was the only vegetation, and
whore the lizard ran affriphted at the
approach of the coyote and the jack
rabbit. Today the county is teeming
with population more numerous than
that Of Alameda county and richer indi-
vidually.
Twelve years ago Alameda county was
virtually in the came condition that it

THE Boston Journal assures advocates
of the Nicaragua canal that they can
draw the happiest auguries of it's finan-
cial success from the Suez enterprise. A
quarter of century ago Ds Leseeps
could find no purchasers for Suez stock
in England Now founders shares,
which then brought on the market
scarcely $3.50 apiece, are quoted at
$3.50, 900, an increase OF 1000 per cent.
And the Nicaragua canal has even more
favorable conditions. for it would be
waterway not only for Q large part OF
the worlds foreign commerce. but it
could scarcely fail to develop q domestic
traffic between the Atlantic and Pacific
states, which in the end would be still
more profitable and important.

Another InC-utiye.

From the Hanford Daily Democrat]
A local packing house in Los Angeles is kill
ing from 200 to $50 hogs per day, and their
product of ham and bacon is being shipped not
only to Southern California, but San Francisco
and as far north as Seattle. The packing house
procures the greater number OF their hogs from
Bakersfield, Visalia and Hanford. With q
competing railroad, there would be an i'm
mense amount of traffic between this city and
Los Angeles that is forced by discriminating
rates TO seek market in San Francisco.

A PROTECTED INDUSTRY.
Controller Co,gan's Iii-Advised Attack
on the Coyot~ Sc,Iu BOuuty.

on the Coyot~ Sc>Iu BOnuty.
From the San Francisco Examiner.1
Controller Colgan is disturbed by the .avish
expenditure of the state for coyote scalps. He
says that when the accumulated claims have
been settled The treasury will have paid over
$4O0, 600 in this way, and he recommends the
repeal of the bounty law.
We are surprised that Mr.. Colgan, who is
Republican, and presumably a protectonist,
should be guilty OF this disloyalty to the fund
amental tenet of his party. The accumulation
of coyote scalps is the mosS perfect example
known OF protected American industry. The
object of protect ion is TO furnish an artificial
market for products that are unable to end
natural one. That is precisely the purpose
and effect OF the coyote law. But for the be-
nevoent interposition of The state the coyote
would howl and howl and howl and howl, a
forlorn despised outcast Nobody would Jay
money for any part of his personal effects But
by the fiat OF the law every coyote has been
transformed into an important element in the
resources OF the commonwealth Every coyotes
head is crowned with SIS scalp. Whatever
may be said about the price OF wool under the
new tariff, the value of coyote scalps has re-
mained unimpaired. And the result has been
that California has won fame abroad, and
thriving commerce has sprung up, in which
scalps from the pauper coyotes OF Nevada and
Arizona flow into our favored state Just as
workmen from the pauper labor countries of
Europe stream into the United States to gain
the benefits OF protection.
The abolition of the bounty would be
deadly ow at the reviving prosperity OF the
people. 1t would destroy at one stroke the
value of all the coyotes in California, Nevada
and Arizona. which now doubtless exceeds the
value OF a / the flocks of sheep in the same
region. It would throw out OF employment
the proprietors OF coyote ranches, with their
herders and other as istants, would contract
the market for guns, ammunition and knives
and would compel the persons now engaged
in the accumulation OF scalps to go into other
occupations, already overcrowded, thereby
glutting the markets, both for labor and prod
ucts and reducing prices and wages below the
limit OF subsistence. All the coyote scalps now
held by banks as colaterals would become as
valueless as Central Pacific stock, and the re-
suit might be a crash that would shake the
state to its foundations
We fail to see how anybody who holds the
protective theory can logically dispute these
propositions. Mr. Colgan's attack on the
coyote law must have been a slip OF the BRAIN
The reform that really demands his attention
is the development of the full value of the
coyote by offering an additional bounty for his

ton OF property were not much less than
ct present. Twelve years ago the city
of Oakland was the same sleeping apart
msnt for San Francisco that it
10 now, but at that time she
had not been saddled with q
bonded debt OF 100000 for school
houses that have not yet been built and
for which the people are taxed $50 q
day. 1t may be mentioned in passing
that the Tribune makes no reference to
this debt nor to the unbusinsssl
method of contracting it. Neither does
the Tribune refer to the fact that tho
money received for these bonds, as we'll
as the city and county funds, are de-
posted with bankers who loan IL for
their own financial profit at usual and
unusual rates OF interest.
The Tribune has made q mistake In
attempting q comparison with Los AM
geles county favorable to Alameda. Los
Angeles is vigorous youth Alameda is
an old maid. petulent, fault finding and
irresponsible. Los Angeles has future !;
Alameda hss only a past. Los Angeles
is within the scope of railroad compe-
tition; Alameda is compelled to endure
all the traffic will bear. Los Angeles is
the nucleus OF an empire; Alameda is
an effete and decaying commonwealth.
Los Angeles is progressive; Alameda has
reached the limit OF it's possibilities.
Comparisons are essentially odious in
this instance, and Alameda county will
do well to avoid them.
