Father is a townsman. mother from the
Green southern uplands where wealthy
pastures are;
My kith and my kindred are prosperous
and sleek,
Who feed well and work we'll and thrive
all the week.
But somewhere and some time, many
year ago,
There was a gypsy woman, that right
well | know,
A wild dark woman from the moor and
wold
Who bare me an ancestor in days of old.
They hushed up her memory, hid her
name away,
Thought they had done with her forever
and a day
Yet hath she left a heritage that none
else shall win,
Whereunto my wandering feet have en-
tered in.
For surely when the dead leaves scatter
With a rush and rustic, like little fly
ing feet
When the sou'west wakens, and with
scared looks askance
The townsfolk hasten from the storms
advance.
My whole soul sickens with fierce de-
Stress of sudden longings sets my blood
on fire,
For the wind on the hilltop in lonely
place,
Ana the cola, sou IalnuTopS blowing on
my face;
For the steep-hung hedges of the winding
road,
And the forest pathway by the stream
o'erf1owed;
For the storm-swept heather where the
blackjack whirs,
And the salt wind whistles through the
stunted frs
For the brown wood-water and the brown
fields smell,
And the wide sea marshes where the cur
LEWIS dwell;
For the moorland black against the last
red light,
And the sunk reefs breakers brawling to
the night.
Hide within your houses with your glar-
ing gas!
Mine shall be the peat smoke in the
beech-roofed grass;
Count your sordid silver, tell your griny
gain
Mine shall be the treasures of the wind
and rainl

RIVER AND HARBoR BILL VETOED.

President Cleveland has vetoed the
river and harbor appropriation bill.
The veto was not unexpected and will
be welcomed by all who disapprove of
reckless expenditure of public
moneys, and more especially at
time when the government revenue is
inadequate to meet its expenses.
The president very truly says that
"the most startling feature of this
bill is its authorization of contracts
for river and harbor work amounting
to more than sixty-two million dol
lars" That is an enormous amount
and not justified by the needs of the
country at the present time More
over, as is stated in the message re-
turning the bill, many objects for
which it appropriates public money
are not related to the public welfare
and many OF them are palpably for the
benefit of limited localities, or in aid
ing individual interests. These have
been the Distinguishing features of
most river and harbor appropriation
bills. These bills have too often fur
nished the great opportunity to do
something for every locality in the
country.
The president SAYS he learns from
official sources that there are appro-
priations contained in the bill to pay
for work which private parties have
actually agreed with the government
to do in consideration of their occu-
pancy of public property Could there
be anything more scandalous?
The whole message is excellent and

DECORATION DAY.

| To the American peopIe Decoration
day has become sacred. Around it
cluster all the memories of the great
struggle for the preservation of the
Union and the freedom of man. It is
day that is devoted primarily to
decorating the graves of those who
fell in battle that the nation might
live. 1t does live and will live so long
as the people are as devoted to the
principles of liberty and self-govern-
ment as those who died to perpetuate
them. Like the Nazarene, they died
that others might live. AS the years
go by their memory will become more
sacred, the great deeds they did will
become nobler and be better apprec-
ated. And yet a little while and ali
those who went forward at their
country's call will have passed away,
will be numbered with the mighty
dead. Slowly. one by one, they are
even now passing away and not many
years hence and the last will have gone
from earth From veterans they will
have become heroes. Nor can the
parents of the rising generation too
strongly impress upon 1T the lesson of
the great war, what the sacrifices
were, how many days were dark, when
no light was anywhere seen, when all
was guided by faith in the destiny of
the nation.
In exalting the patriotism of the SOL
diers Of the civil war it should not be.
forgotten to teach that willingness to
die for ones country is not the only
act of patriotism. There is no higher
patriotism than the living and striving
for the betterment of ones country,
to make the lives of its people nobler,
their aim in life higher, 10 perfect as
near as possible our human life, to
never cease trying to attain the ideal
And it is when a people live such
life and strive for ideals that they
cheerfully go forth to defend their
country and lay down their lives for it.
The future has in store as great
struggles for this country of ours as
any in the past. They may not be
those of war and bloodshed. but they
will call for a courage as high, a
patriotism as devoted as those called
forth by the civil war. The problems
of labor and capital of immigration,
of crime, of corruption in city, state
and national government, of the
usurpations of power, of the encroach-
ments upon the peoples rights, all
these will have to be dealt with by
A !, f;,orr
them there will be wanting the pomps
and circumstances of war but there
will be needed all the heroism and de-
votion ever called forth by any war.
And while the struggle goes on and
the end seems afar off and the object
incomnensurate with the effort, let us
be cheered by the thought that
Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than those of war"

partn1e-t starts the ball rolling by
demanding 81, 55S. 1870 in place of 100000,
the average of that department for the
past five years. Then comes the
school board with a demand for ST.
59S,212. in place of the s1,009,4S0 given
it last year. The police department,
not to be outdone in this public-spirited
race for more money, demands 1894, 7O5,
whereas last year it was satisfied with
STA, 400.
The people and press of San Fran
cisco have good cause to kick. That
city's experience is the common ex-
perience Of cities all over the land
public servants have become bosses,
and they look upon public money as
fund to be exploited in their own in
terest, and deem their duty to the citi-
zens discharged when they have
handed in their estimates of what they
want for the next financial year. Like
feudal lords. they make their de-
mands and expect prompt compliance
with them by those whom they re-
gard as their vassals-the taxpayers.

should make congress pause and the
people praise the president. 1t con-
tains' no better sentence than this,
none more patriotic:
Il believe no greater danger con-
fronts US as nation than the unhappy
decadence among our people of genu-
inc and trustworthy love and affection
for our government as the embodiment
of the highest and best aspirations of
humanity and not as a giver of gifts,

ment of exact justice and equality, and
not the allowance of unfair favorit-
ism"

The St Louis Globe-Democrat says:
Silver idiocy comes home to roost
occasionally. The authorities of Ala
bama tried few days ago to get a
loan from New York trust company,
giving state warrants as security. The
directors Of the trust company de-
clined the proposition on the ground
that Alabama was too loud on the
silver question, as expressed by her
senators and representatives, and that,
after having borrowed on a gold basis,
she might want to liquidate ON a silver
basis" Only a little while ago New
York city tried to float a loan in New
York but could not and finally sue
ceeded in Europe. How is this ac-
counted for? Was it the fear that New
York was liable to become "too load

The city mas as good a fire alarm
system as can be had. It also has a
very efficient fire department. When
an alarm IS turned in the department
is advised of the exact locality and
masters to the scene of the fire with

is the necessity for ringing the old fire
ball? The ringing of a big fire bell with
q, complete alarm system is useless.
