SPRING SONG
About the fowerless land adventurous bees

About the flowerless land adventurous bees
Pickering hum; the rocks debate, divide,
With many Il hoarse aside.
In solemn conclaVe on the budding trees,
Larks in the skies and plowboys Ger the
leaS
Carol as if the winter ne'er had been;
The very owl comes out to greet the sun:
Rivers high hearted run:
And hedges mantle with flush of green.
The curew calls me where the salt winds
blow;
His troubled note dwells mournfully and
dies;
Then the long echo cries
Deep in my heart. All. surely must go!
For there the tides, moon haunted, ebb and
flow:
And there the seaboard murmurs resonant;
The waves their interviewer fugue repeat,
And broodirg surges beat
A slow, melodious, continual chant.

Job of obtaining harbor at Santa Mon

pense of free harbor declared for by
the people and repeatedly recommend
cd by government engineers. 1t is evil
dent from the telegraphic advices of The
Herald that the senator's presentation
of the peoples side of the harbor contest
is to be one of the most mastery and
effective efforts of his public career. He
is setting forth the merits of the con-
flicting harbor propositions in way
that will make them comprehensive to
the dullest senatorial understanding,
and his ventilation of the methods and
designs of Huntington ct al. will not
only ruin their harbor prospects, but
also impair the chances of a favora BILE

railroads funding bill in the body of
which he is a member. Senator White
is in a position to talk more knowingly
of the course of the men who control the
Southern and Central Pacific railroads
than any other man in congress, eX-
cepting possibly those that enjoy the
personal confidence of Uncle Coils.

that the main trouble is distrust of his

Senator Vest, vest, by the way, that
Missouri should pull down as expedi-

of his more or less inane or insane re-
marks, the kinds alternate. in Thurs
days senate debate adverted unfavora-

Nebraska, claiming that it was under
the control of federal office holders,
hence the views by it expressed in the
financial issue. Whether the senator is
correct or not in his assertions regarding
the conventions control, and he has
been found so often of late to be incor-
rect that his reputation for accuracy has
suffered serious impairment, The Herald
cannot say, but it is immaterial in so far
as the point at issue the conventions
financial plank-is concerned. The
plank on the money question adopted by
that body is a ringing one in favor Of
sound money and represents the over
Whelming sentiment of Nebraska Dem
