MONDAY, MAY II, 1896

The Associated Press dispatches re-
port that the Huntington harbor lobby
is the strongest one that has been pres
ent at this session OF congress. This of
itself is enough to arouse the susSicions
of a reasonably astute congressman. A
cause that is just does not need the serv-
ices of an expensive and persistent
lobby. The scheme that has to be lob
bied is invariably the scheme that is too
deficient in merit TO be satisfactory to
the people of the United States.

If the holier than thou, strictly vir-
tuous, patriotism blown-in- the bottle
Senator PETER of Kansas remains in
Washington term or so longer he will
be able to get in on some of those bond
deals he seems so anxious to waste time
and money that belongs to the public
in investigating. According to the Vir-
Einia (Nev) Enterprise, he is just a
"few" ahead since becoming a states
man CD at Washington. The Enter
prise says:
When Senator PETER of Kansas went
to Washington he wasn't worth any
thing. When he leaves the senate he
will be worth $4,000. That is nearly
$1,000 a year for doing nothing except to
stand in the way. Besides, during his
term in the senate he has secured good
positions for different members of his
family, his daughter holding two posi-
tions at the same time and drawing two
salaries from the government. AS Peffer
will never go to- the senate again, and
he knows it, he considered it we'll to be
thrifty during his day and generation.
The statesman from bleeding Kansas
is now engaged in bleeding the govern
ment.

While everyone admires this sort Of
pluck. particularly when it is harmless.
not so much can be said for Joe Manley's ;
usefulness as a mathematician. Mr..
Manley said today his figures to be CIV
en- out on Sunday would show only 270
uncontested votes for Mckinley. If 1t
pleases Mr.. Manley and his friends to
delude then%elves with such grotesque
misstatements, no one has right to
object. But fooling the public is quite
another matter. Mr.. Manley is too ex-
perienced a politician. and too honor
able a man to be Systematically engag-
ed in the task of deceiving the readers
of newspapers with cookedup figures

dence in the sitting member. Such ira
ditions, he felt, were not to be lightly
despised; things might change, empires
might wax and wane, but his obligation
continued; a sort of perverted noblesse
1blige was the farmers watchword in
life; and, by dint of much energy and
bad language, he lived up to it.
AS fate would have it, the Clachlands
plowman was radical of radicals. He
had imbibed his opinions early in life
from speaker on the green of March
thorn, and ever since, by the help of a
weekly penny paper and an odd volume
OF Gladstone's speech, had continued
his education. Such opinions in a con-
servative country side carry with them
a reputation for either abnormal clever
ness or abnormal folly. The fact that
he was keen fisher, famed singer of
songs, and the best judge of horses in
the place, caused the verdict of his
neighbors to incline to the former. and
he passed for something of an oracle
among his fellows. The blacksmith.
who was the critic of the neighborhood,
summed up his character in a few
words: Him. said he in a tone of min
gled dislike and admiration, "himi He
would sweer white was black the morn.

whose politics fight hard with their re.
Egion for monopoly of their interests
feeling ran high and brotherly kindness
departed. Houses were divided against
themselves. Men formerly of no CON-

and discovered that their

things of serious interest to their net ,
tiers. The lurid light of publicity. was

THOUGHTS AT EVE.

When the fickering firelights famin,
shadows on the wall do cast
Memory comes to hold and haunt me will
the memories of the past.
And my heavy heart turns backward
though the years have onward rolled,
10 the happy time of childhood, to the
youthful days of old.
Early scenes and early pleasures now are
pictured to my eyes:
deeds and words of playmates distant
thronging round my heart will RISE
Now hear their childish laughter ring
within ancestral halls,
ana their hurrying footsteps loudly sound
within the ancient halls.
For in kindness now the distance answers
to my longing sigh.
Wnen l think of what to-day is and the
Gays that have gone by.
For in fancy now listen to those tales in
childhood told
Feats of valor done in battle done by
warriors strong and bold.
Nor our souls were little doubling that
the stories they were true,
And our throbbing hearts would echo every |
deed our herod do.
Then our lives were full of gladness never
came thought of sorrow
With the anguish of to-day, with the pain
that comes tomorrow.
Life Is but struggle, ceaseless; nothing
comes to him who'll wait:
Who will thrive must battle ever against
the crushing hand of fate.
Man is but her plaything lightest, that she
gives no heavy thought
Though tbs said for some wise purpose
mankind In the world was brought. ,
THIS the lesson man is learning that the {
coming years will teach: {
All with weary effort striving for the ,
things beyond their reach
This we know not nor our childish hearts G
had learned,
mat TO 1ame and fortune highest ever /
would our souls be turned; i
TIL we sicken in the struggle of the never ,
ending strife, q
And we long but for one moment of our W
happy childhood life.

FERRlEp ON A POLE
Novel Feat Performed BY an Aged Lum-
herman in Maine.

Although John Cusack, exlumberman
OF Moose island, In Morehead lake,
Maine, is now 65 years Of age, he has
not lost his dexterity In executing some
Of the difficult feats In log walking that
made his name famous on the west
branch of the Penobscot for many
years, says the New York Sun. He
recently made bet with Sam Sanford,
the liveryman, that he would that af-
ternoon cross the Piscataquis river with
no other support than q stick so small
that, rested upon his wrist, he could
hold 1t out at arms length. The word
quickly passed about the village of what
was about to be attempted, and at 4
o'clock the hour set for the trial, the
banks Of the river above the mill dam
were lined with spectators. Mr.. Cusack
appeared on time, carrying long pike
pole, which was to serve him as balanc-
Ing pole and propeller, and n bundle
containing a checked bingham shirt and
drilling overalls, his substitute for pro-
Fashionable tights. Attired in his per-
forming costume and in his stocking
feet, Mr.. Cusack launched his stick,
pushing II out to deep water, and with
a quick spring landed on 1t at point
about six feet from the butt, where he
perched as securely as rope walker
upon tight rope. The end Of the stick
upon which he rested sank beneath his
weight until the water was breast high
to him, while the forward and smaller
end rose from the water, pointing like
finger mark to the opposite shore.
Using the pikepole, held by both hands
in the middle as a double oar, the old
man, with a forward motion, scooped
himself along at no small rate toward
the further bank, while two men fol-
lowed in boat ready to rescue him in
case Of mischance. There was no &C.
casion for their services iE his behalf.
The distance was two hundred yards,
but he did not slacken stroke as he
churned along, his head and shoulders
rising and falling above the chill black
waters with his swift strokes, while he
varied the monotony of the exercise by
an occasional whoop or shouted com
pliment to the ladies among the specta-
tors upon the opposite shore. He
crossed the river in five minutes and
landed, fresh and smiling, amid the APP
plause and congratulations Of the Deo-
pie gathered there. After his return to
the hotel he refused all stimulants ex-
cept a comforting bowl Of ginger tea
pressed upon him by the landlord, and
has since shown no i'll effect whatever
from his recent exertion and the severe
exposure he underwent. He has offered
to repeat the performance this week on
a similar wager.
