Impelled by shifting winds of destiny.
Exposed TO threat'ning rocks of cruel chance,
The sport of every wave Of circumstance.
And when its brief, erratic course = run

Times restless waters close above the spot,

Along the country roadside, stone on stone,
Past waving grainfields, and near broken
stile,
The walls stretch onward and uneven pile,
With ranking vines and lichen overgrown
So stand they sentinel. Unchanged alone
They're left to watch the seasons passing
slow;
The summers twilight, or the winters snow,
The springtime's birding, or the autumn's
moan.

And did the rough hands tire, the sore hearts

The eyes grow dim with all their weight of

Or did the work seem light for some dear sake2
Those lives are over All their hopes and fears
Are lost, like shadows in the morning break.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND returned to Wash ington, and Secretary Gresham resumed his duties after ten days sickness. just in tims to give Spain lesson in internation- al courtesy, by forcing her on her knees as an apologist for the action of the com- mander of Spanish cruiser who didn't have any better sense than to fire on the United States mail steamer in the open sea, en route from Colon to New York, merely because he had suspicion that there might be supplies for those engaged in the Cuban revolt on that steamer. Senor Muruaga. tte Spanish minister. tried to get his country let down easy by hastening to the department of state ahead of the of fcial notification that the flag of the United States had been fired upon. and saying that Spain would apologize if any offense or indiscretion had been commit ted by the commander of the Spanish crui. ser The minister is smart, he is. He hasn't forgotten the last time eSpain had tc 20 down on her marrow bones and in addi ton to give up good Spanish gold for her future to pay proper respect to that same United States flag.

Everybody knows also tho two colossal blunders mado by the president, which added so greatly to the embarrassment of congress. Be tween the two extremes, however, lie sev- eral measures of great value, of which lit tie has been said.

 Matters Worth Noting.
 Important bills wero passed for tho re- lief of tho federal courts, providing for ad- ditional judges, especially in tho Indian Territory. The acts amending and codify- ing tho regulations in regard to steam yes sells are highly approved by experts in that line A joint resolution gr.atly curtailing the too extensive privileges of trading in the frco zone between the United States and Mexico is still a matter of heated dis cuSSion. Another concurrent resolution names tho secretary of the treasury, the director of the mint and the superintend- ent of the coast and geodetic survey as commission to inquire into and report to the first section of the Fifty fourth con- gress plan for a meUioal system of weights and measures. If this can be per fected, all our measures will run by tons, as our money now does. The commission to examine and report on the strike and troubles generally at Chicago has done good work, and a joint resolution provides for the printing of 10, 900 copies of its re- port. An amendment to an appropriation bill gives $5, 900 each to the heirs of the persons killed in the Ford's theatcr disas- ter, and only the hurry of the closing hours prevented proper awards to the survivors who were injured.

It is amusing to learn that Burns, when just emerging from obscurity, 1ocularly anticipated that his birthday would come to be noted among other To. markable events. In letter to his early patron, Gavin Hamilton, in 17S6, he says: For my own affairs am in a fair way of becoming as eminent as Thomas Kempis or John Bunyan, and you may henceforth expect to see my birthday inscribed among the wonder ful events in the Poor Robin and Aber- deen Almanaoks along with the Black Monday and the battle of Boutwell, Bridge "-Philadelphia Ledger.

What John Adams Said of the First Con- gress-Leading Measures of the Fifty third Congress - What It Neglected. Coming Men In Both Parties.
Ispecial Corresnnndenco.l l


 Especial Correspondence.l
 WAsHINGToN, March 12.-"De mortuis nil nisi honum," as we used to say in Rome, That nothing but good Is to be spoken of the dead'' is a good maxim as to private persons, but it will not do at all As to rulers and legislative bodies. Tho good done by the Fifty-third congress ought to be carefully credited, it Is true, but its errors and follies should be noted with equal care as instructive warnings for the future. It is n fact worth frequent noting that SD long as a legislative body is in being thoro is continuous storm of criticism and abuse, but no sooner does it dissolve and its members reach homo than the public begins to think better of 1t, and since we no longer see them many good things arc already being said about tho members of tho late and possibly lament ed Fifty-third congress. Many arc quito free to admit that they tad to confront some problems too great for human wis dom. And in this tho Fifty third only re- peated the experience of many predeces- sors, and some facts in regard to them may give us n fair guide as to the future opinion abouf\the Fifty third.
 Did Not Escape CaIumny.
 When the First congress dissolved in 179l, John Adams wrote that he could not believe the Almighty would ever allow such another assortment of stupidity and general incompetence to get together. He and many others said tho same and much worse of tho Twelfth congress, which rushed into a war with Great Britain without tho slightest preparation and just after having thrown tho finances into complete disorder. All the abuse showered on both those bodies was moro than dou blod on the Sixteenth congress, and from 1927 to 1S47 each succeeding congress caught it worse than its predecessor had done Tho Thirty-third congress, which passed tho Kansas Nebraska act, was prob ably vilificd the worst, and next to that the one which passed tho resumption act. Somo members of tho Thirty third woro mobbcd on reaching homo, and though Chicago has always minimizcd it the re- ccptiOn of Senator Douglas in that city would have passed for n riot anywhere elsc Indeed it would seem that tho con grcSsCs which have escaped with the least abuse were those which had fights with tho president, and fancy that ono of tho few indictments against the Fifty third which will hold good in history is that it would neither act in harmony with Mir
