THE OTHER ONE.


Sweet little maid with winsome eyes
That laugh all day through the tangled hatr.
Gazing with baby looks so wise
Over the arm OF the oaken chair,
Dearer than yon is none TO me,
Dearer than you there can be monet
Since In your laughing face SEQ
Eyes that tell of another one.
Here where the freight softly glows,
Sheltered and safe and snug and warm.
What to you is the wind that blows,
Driving the sleet OF the winter stormf
Round your head the ruddy light
Glints on the gold from your tresses
spun,
But deep is the drifting snow tonight
Over the head Of the other one.
Hold me close as you sageiy stand,
Watching the dying embers shine;
Then shall feel another hand
That nestled once In this hand OF mine;
Poor little hand, so cold and chill,
Shut from the light of stars and sun,
Clasping the withered roses still
That hide the face OF the sleeping one.
Laugh, little maid. while laugh you may,
Sorrow comes to Us ALL know;
Better perhaps for her to stay
Under the drifting robe OF snow.
Sing while you may your baby songs,
Sing till your baby days are donei
But oh, the ache of the heart that longs
Night and day for the other onel

WHO MADE THE BIL-L7
where the Responsibility for the Me-
KanIey Law Belongs.

KinIey Law Belongs.
The adj djournment of congress has not
been sufficient TO stop the mouth OF
Senator Frye, Of Maine. His jaw is
like death, In that II has all seasons for
Its own. IN speech in Connecticut
last week Mr.. Frye said;
1.-THE Mckinley bill was the best
tariff measure ever enacted. McKin-
lev did not make that bill. The United
States senate made it, Reed, of Maine,
had more TO do with 1t than Mckin-
ley"
Mr.. Frye processes to be friend Of
Reed. Boes he call that backing mis-
friend? If so, it is q dangerous kind OF
backing, to say the least Of it. Yet it
chimes in admirably with the claim re-
Gently put forth by some OF Mc kiniey's 9
friends that he is not responsible for
McKinleyism.
In a sense 1t is true that Reed was
responsible for the Mckinley law.
Had he not taken the position he did,
and pushed on the work OF stealing
democratic seats until the republicans
got good working majority, the bill
would never have got through the
house. But it Is not apparent, In the
| present state of our knowledge OF the
secret history of the period, that Mr,
Reed had very much to do with the
framing of the bill.
| MIR. Mckinley was chairman OF the
committee that reported the bill GO the
I house. and he defended it from first to
/ last. His responsibility for it, there
fore, is as complete as 1t could possibly
I be. But, II itscones to ~ question or.
credit (?) for framing the bill, the case
/ is somewhat different. 1t is perfectly
/ well known that many parts OF the bill,
4 and these the essential and objection
able features, were not written by
Mai. Mckinley at all. On the contrary
4 they were written by men who during
the campaign Of 1888 had bought the
| right to tax the American people for
Il their own benefit. The iron and steel
manufacturers OF the Pittsburgh dis
i trict had Henry w Oliver as their
/ head representative ut Washing tons
and when his work was done he went
back and reported that the metal
schedule was that offered by the manu-
facturers,' Y or words to that effect. Mr..
Wilson humorously said that the ways
d and means committee had their tables
covered with blanks and that all manu-
3 facturers whose standing with the
COMMITTEES was good were Invited TO
come there and write such sections q
the law as they desired. This is I'M
. questionabIy substantially the truth
with reference to the most outrage geous
and most characteristic parts of the
law. They were written by the per
, sons interested IN excluding competi
tion on certain articles, and were de,
signed to prohibit irnportations ct sucE
articles entirely or as nearly as pos
sIlIe. Z.
Under the circumstance n scarcely
/ seems worth while to debate the ques
: ton who made the Mckinley law !
was dictated by the trusts and nonopo
lists, but Reed, Mckinley and Harri
, son approved their work. ~ Louisville

Literary Notes,

There is but one collection of the por-
traits of Lincoln that pretends to be
complete, and that is the collection
made by McClure's Magazine. They
have been able to secure either originals
or copies of every photograph, daguer-
reotypes, ambrOtype, drawing or paint
ing of Lincoln, so far as known in exist
Pnce. There are in this collection fifty
phi Dtoc raphs, ambrotypes and daguerreo-
types. The best collection of Lincoln
heretofore published in any work con-
tanned ten portraits. 1t is possible that
the McClure's collection may be still
further increased. The entire series of
portraits will appear in McClure's Mag
azine during the current year. With the
February number twenty of them will
have been printed. These portraits
cover period of about twenty years,
are from originals taken in great
many different towns and cities under a
great many different conditions and are
SO varied. and present Lincoln under so
many different aspects, that the result
of the whole collection is to make Lin
coin vivid and real so that even those
who never saw Kim can form a very ac-
curate idea of how the living man
looked and acted.
The first number of the new volume
of Harper's Weekly flor the number
dated January 4, 1866 will contain the
opening chapters of a new serial of a
Scotch feud of the latter part of the six
teenth century by S. Il. Crockett, author
Of 1.-The Raiders" etc.

Farming as a Profession.

Farmers who read Secretary Morton's
annual report will find cause for conf
placency and encouragement. Taking
them on an average, our tillers of the
soil own property, including implements,
to the value OF "a, 200 each. AS debtor
class they are vastly better off than rail
road corporations. bankers, manuiact-
urers and merchants-the mortgages on
farm values aggregate only 16 per cent.
AS a productive class they stand at the
head, for, says the secretary, american
agriculture, after feeding itself last year,
and all the towns, villages and cities of
the United States, has also sold in the
outside worlds markets more than $780,
600, 600 worth of products. So the farm.
ers of the United States have furnished
60 So per cent of the value of all the ex-
ports during the year 1896" The seGre-
tary shows that the value of farm lands
is steadily increasing, and reminds farm
ers that agriculture is 'swiftly becoming
scientific profession" Intelligent
farming will become more and more
remunerative.
