True enough oh maiden sweet,
Joy now speeds your willing feet;
Love will come, dear, by and by
Time enough for tear and sigh.
You are but half blown flower

With youths gladness and its grace
Added to your dimplcd face.

SPIES AND INFORMERs.

Mr.. Henderson, of North Carolina, may
have been wrong in claiming in the
House of Representatives on Wednesday
that there were no more violations of the
internal revenue laws in Virginia and
North Carolina than elsewhere. We
know nothing of the facts of the case,
and are not, therefore, in a position TO
pass Judgment upon that question. But
he was perfectly right in expressing
his indignation and scorn on account of
the way our people are harried and
worried by the spies which the Govern
ment hires to hunt out alleged violators
of the internal revenue laws. Intoxicat-
ing liquors are undoubtedly a subject
from which the Government should raise
a large part of it's revenues. but it is
most unfortunate that it finds a neces-
sity to raise that revenue though the
aid of paid informers and secret agents.
1t is really serious question IL the
revenue we raise from spirits is worth
the price we thus pay for it. The ex-
ASPIRATION caused to the people is bad
enough. but the example Of spies and
informers treated as trusted agents Of
Government always before their eyes
is ten thousand time worse. II n de-
moraiizing and corrupting to the people
In the highest degree.

A VERY RUDE shoCh'

~ recent article Analysing Lord Rose
,or,.s character the London Saturday
Review says: IF he regards, as ne pref
-, certainly does regard. the fads OF the
older Radicals as doctrinaire nonsense
ba ba. at least coquetted with the new
labor theories, the new Socialism, ana
other things which, in the judgment OF
some of us. would make England little
better worth living in than the United
States"
This estimate of Lord Rosebery is not
widely different from that which his two
recent speeches has forced upon us. But
II was not to remark on the Saturday
Reviews estimate Of the English Premier
that we quoted the above. but on its esti-
mate of ourselves. 1t will be a great
surprise to many Americans to learn that
educated Englishmen look upon the United
States as a place Of residence somewhat
as they look upon the dominions of King
Lobenguela.
When Cicero had been governor Of one
Of the provinces and was returning TO
Rome, he asked one Of his acquaintance
whom he met on the route what they
said in Rome Of the way he had gov
erned the province. His friend replied
that they had heard nothing in Rome
about ii. Now, here, we in America had
been Of the opinion that they talked about
US in England a great deal, and that
most Englshmen spent much of their
time in vain regrets that fortune had
denied them that residence here which
all longed for but few could obtain. But
now comes this brutal Saturday Review
10 rouse us from our delightful reveries
and assure us they are nothing but reve-
res, and that people in England neither
talk Of us nor think of us, and look on
us as little if any better than savages.
There is a very large body Of our popu-
lation that will be able to endure this
discovery, now that we know the worst,
but we fear for its effects upon some.
The gentlemen who carry shepherds
crooks for walking canes. and turn up
their pants because 1t is 'waining in
London" are going to receive a shock
that may produce severe injury to their
standing collars. when they know that
an English swell tolerates them much as
he does his poodle dog when he comes
into the house with wet feet. We know
Of but one source Of redress open TO these,
and that is to give up imitation of Eng
lish ways and appear as natural Ameri-
cans, whereupon they may be mistaken
for English cads along with being recog-
nzed as American fools.
