Laughter and Tears.

Laughter and Tears met one day in
shady lane. The sunshine and
shade mingled pleasantly there, and
the breath of the woods was strong
in the air, as was also the fragrance
of the clover field near by. But the
lane was all too narrow to allow both
to pass for Laughter was boisterous,
and romped about so much that he
took up a deal of room; while Tears
seemed to be half-blind and could
scarcely see her way
She said, in a voice like the song Of
night.bird:
"Why don't you let me pass? This
is my path"
mo" replied Laughter, 'this lane
is mine, and / am in hurry, so you'd
better climb the fence into the dark
woods and walk through the dead
leaves"
"Why don't you climb the other
fence" said Tears softly and run
along through the clover, in the sun
shine? I'm sure you'd like it better"
well" rejoined Laughter pleas
antly, 'Im sure | don't want to
quarrel with so gentle maiden, and
so, as we don't seem able to agree
about the path, suppose 1 turn about
and go with you?"
''That would be very pleasant, in
deed" SAID Tears, "for am lonely"
SO they went on together, through
the twinkllng shine and shadow, and
each felt better for the company of
the other.
And that is why it is that when
you meet Laughter you are always
sure to find Tears not far away

That tells TIL whole story Youths
Companion.
EXerYhndY WINS Out.

A New York drummer for apotAe-
carries supplies tells hard story of
Lewiston vhis week. He thought he
had struck a great field - thirty
apothecary shops. He struck in on
Lower Lisbon and Lincoln streets.

In very few stores could he find
that there was proprietor at all. All
of them wanted to know why he
wanted the proprietor. He gave 1T
up and when he at last found a pro-
prietor he poured out his soul. ''lf
I'd known about this scarcity of pro-

done my business and got out on the

"That suggests story | heard

"a gentleman went into one OF
these places and asked for the pro-

Omitted DUTY.

Why are our cities badly governed:
Two influences are at work in the
wrong direction in city politics.
First is the work by the men who
make politics a trade. They attend
and too frequently carry-the eau
cuses; they support only men who
will help them, or at least who are
too weak and timid to fight them; and
their purpose is not good government,
but a chance to put their hanGs in
the public treasury, and to acquire
and WELD political power.
But not all men are bad. Not half
the voters are bad. If every man
were to vote, the thieves and plum
derers would never have chance.
1t is the Stay-at-homes who are
really responsible for the bad gov
eminent of our cities
One 'f1re-bug" might burn down a
town if those who might catch him
and stop him spent their time in la
menting over the wickedness of the
unknown scoundrel. If the few DO
litical rascals have things their own
way, do not blame them, but those
who might have prevented their dep
relations.
So it is this second influence-the
indifference of men who are well-dis-
posed but too INDECENT to discharge
their duties, that is really answerable
for the bad condition of affairs.
One Of our large cities has a city
council which can be depended upon
to help the city plunderers in all their
vlllanOus schemes. Only about three
quarters OF the citizens voted at the
election when these men were chosen.

A Barometrio Girl.

An EasJon girl is as accurate a
weather gauge as the barometer.
When storms are brewing her hair
curls in tight ringlets and she so grows
obstreperous that teachers are unable
to subdue her. The approach of
sunny weather smooths down her
spirits and she is then the sweetest
tempered girl in school. Many
doctors have tried in vain to solve
the riddle of her Observation-Disclosures

In discussing the railway problem
those opposed to the companies should
bear in mind that more than seventy
dollars out of every hundred invested
in railway property paid nothing on the
investment last year. To put the prop
osition in its simplest form, nearly
three dollars brings no returns for
every dollar that earns dividend.
1t is contended by some that the
present capitalization is an unfair
measure of the investment because
stock-watering and similar transactions
have inflated the capital. Perhaps in
some cases this is true, but on the other
hand vast aggregates of stocks and
bonds have been wholly swept out OF
existence by foreclosures or reorganiza-
tions. The one about balances the
other.
This being the case we get down to
the present proposition, namely that
the railways have right to reasonable
returns on the money actually invested.
This is all the shareholders ask of the
public. And they have right to this.
The public has no right to demand that
they shall ask less. More especially is
this true when upon the future of these
properties rests the comfort and hap
piness of million wage earners. And
on the welfare of these, with their four
million of dependents, depends the
prosperity of hundreds of thousands of
other breadwinners.

DISCRIMINATING DUTY.
McKenna's Opinion on Sec. 22 of
the Tariff Bill About Ready.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-It is I'M
derstood that Attorney General Me-
Kenna will have his opinion on section
% of the tariff bill ready by Friday.
There is considera BILE speculation as to
how he will interpret that much talked
Of section, but he has kept his own
counsel, and has been a good listener
and reader of opinions from others. He
has sought the opinions of experts and
has many before him in addition to the
briefs of the lawyers who appeared for
the railroads.
General had a conference with Colonel
w. r. Morrison of the Interstate Rail-
way Commission, with whom this sec
ton was discussed Colonel Morri-
sons opinion is valuable because he
has considerable experience in tariff
legislation, as well as in constructing
railway legislation, and believes that
section % clearly imposes a discrimin-
ating duty on goods coming from ia
pan and China in British ships to a
Canadian port and then into this
country over the Canadian Pacific
Railway.
Colonel Morrison suggested to the
Attorney General that whoever word
ed the amendment to section % left
little doubt as to his meaning. When
asked about the wisdom of such legis-
lation the Colonel said that while he
was not protectionist, that was the
policy of this administration and he
saw no injustice in going back to the

"RIZON (Ark.), Aug. 25.-B. o.
Smith, Frank Mathews, Frank Wright

murderous participation in this bloody
affair of the negro Wiley, lynched on
Sunday night.
There are six negroes in Jail here at
the present time, charged with being
connected with the murder of Mr.. John

to be innocent, but the other four are

COUNT MUTZU DEAD.
Was Former Minister of Foreign
Affairs in japan

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa tele-
gram was received at the Japanese le-
cation to-day announcing the death of
Count Mutzu, ex-Minister of Foreign
Affairs and japanese Minister to the
United States in 1888.
The news was not at all unexpected,
as the Count has been i'll with lung
trouble for q long time and was COM
about year ago. His illness recently
took an acute form and his son, who
was at the time Secretary of Legation
here, was recalled to his fathers bed
side.
Count MutZu was one of the most
distinguished men in the history of the
new Japanese movement and with the
Marquis Ito nodded the policy of the
modern empire and successfully carried
the country through the crisis Of the
Chinese war.
When hostilities were over he was a
member of the convention and framed
the treaty which secured to Japan such
great commercial and political advan-
tages. His services to his country
were equally marked in fostering the
new party movement that for several
years prior to the Chinese war had
eagerly absorbed every material ad-
vantage offered by Western civiliza-
ton
1t was due to this as much as to any
one other thing that Japan in that war
was able to meet her huge but unor-
ganized rival on more than equal
terms
Count Mutzu was we'll known in
Washington, where he made many
warm personal friends during his resi-
dence here as Minister.
