individual, and while we do not pretend
TO know everything, we have done the
best we knew in this matter. We did
not know that it was wrong to vote for
free silver Democrat for the Senate.
We never did agree to do otherwise than
use our efforts to bring about the election
of some man who represented the princi-
pies of our party platform fully.
N0thing has occurred since the cleo
ton of Senator to make us regret that
we yOted for Doughton, and a fair con-
struction of the caucus resolutions re-
hevas us from the charge of having
broken faith with anybody.
Fully appreciating your valuable ser
vices to the party and the State in the
past and trust in your fairness and up
rightness, we ask you to publish this
statement in order that a wrong impress

with the highest respect for Senator
Teller. We suggest TO him that the time is
past for effective opposition to the
"crime OF 81" He and others like him
have defied the judge, kicked the clerk and
marshal down stairs, and hung the jury.
Thepeople will beincined todo that service
for some OF the jury before this thing is
forgotten, or we are much mistaken. But
Mr.. Teller and his friends of the opposition
allowed their silver opportunity to pass.

another because of wool; several Others in

by. Wherefore, We exhort Senator Teller
and others 10 whom these presents shah

Japanese prime minister lis quoted as talk
ing in serious vein about an international
necessity for the prese rvation Of Ha wall as
an independent and neutral territory, In

ragua Canal. From European sources
there are mutterings that make Us fear
much obstruction, and perhaps serious
trouble. unless the Senate can he brought

vocating annexation. 1t may be So but

The proceedings OF the Senate yesterday
tory. Senator Morgan called attention TO
the fact that tie Senate conferees on the
tariff bin had violated the Constitution
in inserting new legislation not enacted
by either hCuseof the Congress. Heventured
TO warn his cOmpeers that this ought not
10 be tolerated; but the noble army OF
Hannaites only laughed him TO scorn. When
the consulship Of Marcus Aurelius began it
was quietly and privately decided to ad-
here 10 the higher law laid down by that
great jursoonsult, Timothy Campbell, and
to consider the Constitution as not binding
bet ween friends. As a first experiment
Thomas, the Autoorat, easily was induced
10 ignore the worIuy old instrument and
TO suppress the House OF Representatives.
Inasmuch as the Democratic members sub
nitted without a struggle, il was seen that
the game could be played elsewhere without
much risk, ana so, when the Autocrat and
Tie 'D1SllleSS manager gathered Jneu-
selves together in conference, they did not
hesitate to stick any ancient thing into the
tariff bin that happened to please their
fancy. Among other things, this was good
evidence of the extent to which they had
convinced opposition Senators, and that
they had no fear of consequences. Nor
need they The relations OF their opposi-
tion friends to the subject-matter, and to
themselves in valuable respects, were too
delicate even to be mentioned, much less
60 warrant the former in anything calcu-
lated TO emharrass the course OF dual con-
ference. Well, Well The saddest thought
in the W hole connection is that this business
is going to drive the Devil out of theology.
When his character for truth and veracity.
for good deeds and observ ance OF the

statesmen that we know Of, but win not
mention by name, His Satanic Majesty
cannot save himself from appearing so
honest and upright that, inevitably. he will

himself with the saints. Ipso facto, the COM

Pink and white twas; over us
We heard the droning of the bee,
And down within the wood we heard
The busy twittering Of a bird,
Yet silence seemed to cover US.
The cricket's chirrup, brisk and blithe,
The rustling Of the mowers scythe-
A fields length off-was clear to us;
A squirrel, with its dp-toe tread,
Peered through the branches overhead;
The groaning of 'scme distant vain
That numbered through a shady lane,
The cattle lowing, near to us
These sounds we heard with wond ring

And then land then-Do more heard

The merry twittering of the bird,
