GLADNE

A warmth of gold, all summer stored
The goldenrod gives up,
And filed from sprngtime's scantier hoard
Shines the sweet buttercup,
And from the singing of the breeze
And low, sweet sound of rain,
The little brook learns melodies
To sing them back again. ,s~
Forgotten all the cloudy sky (,
OF dark days overcast;
For flower hearts let gloom go by,
But hold the sunshine fast
And all year long the little burn,
Though wntry boughs be wet,
Picks out the happy days to learn
Tho sad ones to forget.

COMBS TO BIG MEN.
Internal Machines Sent to Arm our and
Pullman.

Two crudely constructed Internal ma
chimes were mailed in Chicago Monday
morning to George NJ Pullman and Philip
ID. Armour. They did not reach the deS-
tinations the sender Of them intended,
but were taken posse SSiOn of by Capt.
Stuart. of the Postal Secret Service. Capt.
Stuart also has in his charge = y.
Owens. who says he beard two men talk
ing of their scheme to Kill Pullman and
Armour, and almost ran his legs off Sun

store for them.
The deadly character Of the machines
was demonstrated by an examination of
their contents and 10y ignitinS some Of
the powder removed from them. as well rs
Il part of the fuse which completed the
mechanism of contrivance so arranged
that the removal of the lids Of the boxes
which composed the outer castings Of the
devices would result in the ignition of the
powder and the fuse which WAS trained
into lead pipe The package addressed
to SIR. Armour was unwrapped carefully.
When the paper had been removed it
was found to contain thin box about O
inches long. IL. inches wide and | = inches
deep. Ii was made of wood taken from
Il
nailed together, but On top there was a
sliding lid. 1t had been made rather
rudcy. the lid especially being roughly
shaped and working badly. Inside was
piece of lead pipe three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and as long as the into
riOr length of the box. Both ends OF the
lead pipe were plugged with corks. All
around this pipe and completely hlliny
the box was black. coarse powder as n
match applied easily proved it to be.
There was hole in the side OF the lead
pipe. and iii this was fastened Il piece of
fuse three inches long. On the under
side of the sliding I'D was glued piece
of sandpapcr. Covering the powder in
side was an other piece OF sandpaper,
with the rough side turned upward. Be
tween the two sandpaper surfaces the
heads of number OF parlor matches had
been placed with more powder scattered
in between.
The whole machine was fastened 50
that if the sliding lid had been moved as
much as one-fouT;h Of an inch one of the
matches must have become igGitcd by
the grinding sandpapcr surfaces. No
matter whds was contained inside tho
piece of lead pipe, quarter of round
of Cunpowder must have been exploded
and experts say that alone would have
done considerable damage to the person
drawing the lid. Both machines were
constructed upon the same principle.

ues of the Government from all sources
during the last fiscal year amounted 10
$500, 3I3, 203. The expenditures during
the same period aggregated $433, 1IS.426,
leaving q deficit for the year of 2,S0J,-
223. AS compared with the fiscal year
1894, the receipts for 1895 increased ST.
$40. 105. although there was decrease
of $1i ,329,9S1 in the ordinary eXpendi-
lures, which is largely accounted for by
q reduction Of S11, 134 900 on sugar boun-
ties. The revenues for the current lis
cal year are estimated upon the basis of
existing laws at S431 800, 10I and the
expenditures at $44S,90I, 40I, which will
leave a deficit Of S11 10000
For the coming fiscal year ending June
80. 1891, the Secretary estimates the re-
ceipts ut $464. 1913. 120 and the eXpendi-
lures at S45I ,SS4 1913. or an estimated

after the war of 1912 England silently

will revise them again i'm regard to the
Monroe doctrine before this controversy
is endcd, and will admit that the Monroe
doctrine does form n most important part
of international law as far ~ matters re-
garding the American Hemisphere are
concerned.
Across the channel the sentiment is
scarcely less serious. France and Ger

tinent, view the message with undisguiscd

them are insolcnt and truculent III their
comments. and it is evident that the Pres

invocation of the Monroe doctrine is irrcl-
evant," and that it is mot principle OF

not recognized it''-as if nothing were in
tcrnational law which did not have En-
glands assent and sanction. The London
Times declares that England will not adj
nit the pretensiOns put forward by Prcsi-
dent Cleveland. The Times then pro
cceds to argue that the Monroe doctrine
has never been recognized as international
law and quotes Lord Salsbury's admis-
sion that any disturbance of the existing
territorial distribution in the Western
Hemisphere by any European State
would be highly ineXpcdient. Other or
