An Evening Thought.

As / sat 2 one in the cleaning
Visions Of vanished years
Came trooping fast before me,
With their hopes and Joys and tears.
And my thought went out toward the haven
Where time and change are unknown,
Where the life that is lived is hidden
With Christ, who sits on the throne.
Where the loved and the lost are growing
In his likeness more and more,
And whispering to us Of Joy and peace
When the lifelong storm in Ger.

BY POPULAR VOTE.
Young Mems Democratic Club Wants
Senators Elected Thus.

Boston, April 10.-After extended dis
cussion on the election OF Senators by
the votes Of the qualified electors OF the
State, the Young Mems Democratic Club
Of Massachusetts has unanimously
adopted the following preamble and reso-
lutions:
Whereas, The popular election of Sena-
tors would greatly increase the dignity
and the power of the United States and
enhance its standing In the popular esti-
nation; would free the Stete Legisla-
lures from the many long, bitter ana
partisan struggles that have too often pre-
ceded their choice of Senator and have
sometimes resulted in a deadlock and that
have therefore diminished the usefulness
OF the Legislatures for the purpose OF State
legislation; would permit the election Of
members OF the State Legislature on dis.
tinctly State, and without reference to
their views as to.national, politics; would
greatly diminish the prevailing tempta-
tion to gerrymauder districts In behalf Of
the party candidates.; would be more Ia
harmony with the Democratic party to
obtain the proportionate number OF Sena-
tors to which popular strength entities
1t, but which Is now denied II I'm many
states by the district system OF choosing
the senatorial electors, and
Whereas, the declaration OF principles
OF the club advocates the changes; now,
therefore be IL
Resolved, That the executive commit
tee In behalf Of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of Massac husetts, earnestly
request of each Democratic member OF the
Senate TO urge and do all In his power to
secure the passage of an act embodying
this constitutional amendment.

SETTLED THE CLAIMS.
Peculiar Insurance Methods in Paw
tuxet Valley.
Old Man Gaffney's Policy Taken Away by
An Enterprising Agent.

What Is. to say the least, very sharp
practice on the part Of one OF the insur-
ance companies which has a number OF
local agents in the Pawtuxet Valley has
just come TO light and is causing much
comment and indignation among the
residents here An attempt has been
made by the company TO hush the affair
up, but IL was not successful, and both
the company and its agent are being
sharply criticised and censured by all
lovers OF square dealing.
For several years the Valley has proved
fertile field for those companies who
insure for small amounts and receive their
premiums monthly. For long time il
has been known that the medical exami-
nations to which the applicants for insur-
ance were subjected was little more than
a farce, the agents relying on the non
payment OF the premiums or some tech
nicality in the policy 20 save the COM
pany in case of the death of the insured.
The particular case which is being so
much discussed at present is that OF
Bartholomew Gaffney, an old resident
who died at his home on Wakefield Hill
last Saturday morning after a long i'll
ness. For manv years he has been en-
ployed I'm the Valley, and by constant
frugality managed TO build himself
home near Lippitt village. He was EN-
about six months ago he was obliged to
stop work on account of falling health,
and for several weeks before his death
was confined to his house. About
five months ago he vas visited by
one OF the insurance agents who
prevailed on him 10 take out policy on
his life for 900. At the time 1t was well
known that he was suffering from con-
sumption ard one of the peculiar things
about the case IL that he could not have
passed satisfactory examination before
any competent physician.
Soon after taking out the policy he be-
came rapidly worse and Ii was evident he
had but q few weeks to live. The agent,
hearing OF this, went to Mr.. GaffDey's
house last Thursday and after a long
talk with Mrs. Gaffney, in which she
claims he told her that she could not col
lect the insurance in case of her hus-
bands death, he succeeded in getting
back the policy and inducing her to sign
release upon his giving her back the
money which had been paid in premiums
amounting TO between four and five dol

THE LAST CONTEMPTTBLE ACT.
The so-called Investigation of the IL
cense commission that was begun in the
campaign last fall by the Providence
Journal and has beenprosecuted under the
patronage OF that discreditable and dis
credited newspaper for two weary
months, was brought 20 conclusion last
evening. The last act In this disgrace
full farce was, IL anything, more contemp-
tible in its features than anything that
had gone before. The proceedings have
long since ceased to be funny and last
nights were disgraceful. On this fare
well occasion JOHN NJ. BRENNAN repre-
sented The Journals purposes and he did
his work with thorough dirtiness. To
great public that has natural dispo-
sition TO decency, It may afford some sat
isfaction TO learn that this LOUD -monthed
swaggerer was thoroughly overwhelmed
before the evidence was concluded. and
he retired as thoroughly humiliated as
humiliation is possible TO a nature that is
bloated with self-suficiency.

Lieutenant Willoughby and EDsign Hall,

and then they would have retired later,
possibly TO take positions on the staff.
The ensigns elected last night were Chief
Gunner's Mate III. Christian and Chief
Boatswain's Mate II. Wagner. 1t was
thought that this election would settle
all difficulties in the company. but al
