Slow as / journey on from day to day,
l come on wanderers in my path,
Some sad, some singing In bitter
wrath,
And some who join me for a little way
Not always very far. Perhaps we see
That one step moves too slow and one too
fast;
Some / have overtaken, loved, and passed.
And some there are who would not wait for
me.
Some cross my march just ~once-across the
I hear a footstep; we shall almost meet!
Alas! We may not stay too long to greet,
A nod, a pleasant woodland he Is gone.
How many million friends there are whose
lot
Keeps them outside my path for life's
short while!
But through the distance and the dark I
smile,
For 1 can love them tho I see them not.

Simultaneous with the announcement

Simultaneous with the announcement
from Madrid that the Spanish govern
ment is preparing to grant home rule to
Cuba comes one from Washington that
official representatives Of the Cuban re-
public in that city decline to discuss the
proposition reported to have been made
to Spain by President Cleveland looking
towards mediation. These representa-
tives say there is no possible chance of
the war being brought to an end in any
other way than by an acknowledgment
of Cuban independence. In fact. the
leaders of the revolution have taken
special pains to make any other result
impossible. A decree approved by the
leading generals and ratified by the pro-
visional government declares that any
person who shall suggest within the
Cuban ranks a settlement Of the war on
any ground other than that Of Cuban
independence shall be shot without
court-martial. AS IL that were not suffi-
cient, a clause in the Constitution recent
ly. adopted reads as follows: 1.-The treaty
of peace with Spain, which must neces-
sariiy have for its basis the absolute in
dependence of the island OF Cuba, must
be ratified by the government Council
and by an assembly of representatives
convened expressly for this purpose"
In the face of these provisions no offer
of compromise or concession that the
Spanish government may make is likely
even to be considered by the insurgents.
They seem to have burned their bridges
behind them.

One of the objections to the confirmation
of Mr.. Fowle, whom the President has nomi-
mated for collector Of internal revenue at
Lynchburg. Va. is that he lost $500 at one
sitting at a game of poker. As the objection
comes from men who know more of the jack
pot than OF political economy. it is fair to as
sumo that their objection is not based upon
ethical grounds, but upon the assumption
that a man who loses so large a sum must
be so b~ungling asgamester that 1t would not
