COWS IN HE MEADOW

When springing meads are freshly digit,
And trees new leayed throw scarce a
shadow.
The green earth shows no fairer sight
Than soft-eyed kline aud Blowing
meadow.
Too cain for care. too slow for mirth.
Amid the shower. amid the CLEAN.
The great mid mother creatures seem
Half-waking forms Of the dreary earth.
And down the pathway through the grass
To school the merry children pass,
Singing rhyme in the April morns.
tow-Ihere's red for the burrows and
white for the daisies.
Brown eyes for the brooks. for the trees
crumpled horns!
When quiyering leaves make leaves Of
light
And both the sward beneath them dap
pie.
When May boughs cream in curling white.
And strawberry cream doth flush the
app.e.
The great mild mother creatures lie
And grow. in absence of the sun.
One with the moon and stars. and one
with silvery Cloud and hushed dark sky
And down the pathway through the grass.
To school the merry children pass.
Singing a rhyme in the morns Of June
How-Ihcrc' white for the cloudlets and
black for the darkness.
And two polished horns for the sweet
sickle moon.

The exposition which the people OF
Tennessee have created to commemor-
ate the centennial anniversary OF the
State should be a source of national as
well as local pride. Those who have
been familiar with all the great fairs

place none but the Worlds Columbian
Exposition OF 1898 ahead OF the one
now open in Nashville. The Philadel-
phla centennial and the exposltlons OF
New Orleans. Atlanta and San Fran
cisco all stand second to this The
fact that President Mckinley recog-
nized the Importance Of the event. and
journeyed from Washington with his
cabinet and personal party indicates
the national character of the fair.

from all parts OF the country are sup

New England in the Pacific

(From The Indianapolis News.)
The most important part Of Senate
Morgan's brief interview is his ap-
the comforting of statehood on Hawaii
as soon as possible after annexation.
He says:
Hawaii is certainly going to be a
state. But whether it will be at the
time of it's annexation or later remains
to be seen. Should it be annexed as a
territory, the Hawaiian commissioners
will recommend that the islands be ad-
mitted to statehood and a special act
Of congress would undoubtedly follow"
What do the people think of the pos
Sibility of having two senators from
Hawaii, representing only a little more
than 100, 900 people? Two senator's, enc
representative and three electoral
votes from a rotten borough two thou
sand miles out in the Pacific! That
this would be the necessary conse-
quence Of annexation is clear. We can
not expect to old any part. of our
domain perpetually as a territory, for
ours is a government of states. But if
it were possible, theoretically, to keep
Hawaii out Of the union of states, the
demand for it's admission by the pO-
litical party interested in securing con-
troll OF the senate would DE so strong as
to make successful resistance impOssi-
BILE. The two additional senators and
the three electoral votes would be
powerful arguments for the admission
of the state Of Hawaii to the union.
And Senator Morgan admits frankly
that annexation will involve statehood.
He is right; but the other annexation
lists have not been so frank. They
have talked wisely about some special
form Of government, and have repudia-
ted the suggestion hat it would be
necessary, if We annexed Hawaii, to
take it into the union as a state. Evil
IDENTIFY they ave feared that the peo-
pie would oppose annexation if they
had any reason to believe we were to
have a state of Hawaii. We believe
that these fears are we'll grounded.
There are many people who would be
willing to see these islands held as a
sort of imperial province, who would
shrink from clothing them with state
hood. Senator Morgan has advanced
a strong argument against the policy
Of which he is so determined an advo-
cate.
