THE FLIGHT OF THE YEARS.

When one BY one the silent stately years
Glide like pale ghosts beyond our yearn-
ing sight,
Vainly we stretch our arms to stay their
fight,
SO soon, SO swift they pass to endless
night
We hardly learn to name them,
To praise them or to flame them,
To know their shadowy faces,
Ere we see their empty placesl
Only once the glad spring greets them,
Only once fair summer meets them,
Only once the morning glory
Tells for them its mystic story.
Only once the wintry hoary
Wears for them its robes Of light
Years leave their work half done; like
men, alasl
With sheaves ungathered to their graves
they pass,
And are forgotten. What they strive to
do
Lives for while in memory of a few,
Then over ali 0blivion's waters flow
The years are buried in the long ago.

Of an agreement with Senator Hanna.
ii being thought best that one OF
them should be constantly in his seat
in the Senate while the tariff bill is
under consideration.
General Stewart l.. Woodford, the
new u. s. Minister to Spain, has
many admirers among the Republi-
cans who attended the National con-
vention. which nominated Hayes and
Wheeler. Alter Hayes was nomi-
mated. General Wheeler heard that
the Indiana delegation had decided to
support him for the Vice Presidency
According to Col. w. r. Holloway,
who was there, and who is now in
Washington, this is what Gen, Wood
ford said to his Indiana friends:
No. no, gentlemen; don't think of
that, VIM A, Wheeler is stronger
man in the State of New York than
am, and beg that you will give him
Iudiana's thirty votes. What we
need and must have to elect Cover
nor Hayes, is New York's electoral
vote. Don't consider me for one mo-
ment. but vote for my friend, Wheel
er, and assist us to carry the empire
state for the nominees Of this conven-
ton. Tie result is history.
While the Republicans enjoyed the
accusations and counter accusations
hurled by Democratic Senators
against each other, they would have
much preferred that the time SO vast
ed had been put in on the tariff bill.
Everybody knows how wide apart the
Democratic Senators are on the tariff
and many other things. but the coun-
try is impatiently waiting for the
tariff bill to become law.

The Declaration OF independence
Saved by a Woman.

In an historical article recalling the
destruction of our National capita, by
the British forces in 1874, Clifford
Howard in the July Ladies Home
Journal will show that Dolly Madison,
the most beloved and popular woman
of her day, was courageous and tear
less in the face Of grave danger. In
the mad stampede from Washington,
that preceded the invasion by the
British troops, Dolly Madison was
the last to seek safety in fight, and
her final act before quitting the
White House, as the enemy advanced,
was to seize the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and carry it with her to a
place of safety. AS the White House
was immediately afterward looted and
burned by the British, Mr. Howard
declares that but for brave Dolly Mad
ison the priceless parchment would
have been destroyed.

CHANDLER TALKS ABOUT HAWAII
President Will uo to Chicago Sena-
tor Hanna Did Not Reduce Wages.

President Will uo to Chicago Sena-
tor Hanna Did Not Reduce Wages.
WASHINGTON, June L. The Pres
ident has no means OF knowing to
certainty that the tariff bill will be-
come law inside OF month, but he
feels so confident that it will that he
has promised to attend the unwilling
Of the statue Of General John A. Lo-
gan, in Lake Front Park, Chicago,
July ~, with as many members of
the Cabinet as can make It convenient
to accompany him. In order to pro-
vide against unexpected contingent
cies, President Mckinley stipulated
that his promise should not be con-
sidered binding if the tariff bill were
not disposed OF in time tor him to
reach Chicago on the date specified.
Senator Chandler, who made rec
ord as Secretary of the Navy, was
asked what he thought Of the English
statement that the annexation OF
Hawaii would make it necessary for
us to largely increase our navy. He
replied: II do not agree with the
opinion that we must largely increase
our naval force because we are about
to annex Hawaii. The future power
OF the United States will not lie in its
navy. We will be great because we
have unlimited and easily convertible
resources. II we want navy, we
can get one. If war should come
in which Italy, for instance, was not
concerned, we could buy the whole
Italian navy in "a hours. There will
be no larger naval appropriations
coincident with tie ratification of the
Hawaiian treaty, bnt when we want a
navy we can get it..
The ultimate ratification of the
treaty for the annexation of Hawaii
is regarded as SO certain, notwith-
standing the talk Of the handful Of
Democratic Senators who are opposed
to it, that no effort will be made to
push it to vote at this session of
Congress. The President is perfectly
satisfied to have it go over to the reg
ular session. as he regards the send
ing Of the treaty to the Senate as all
that was necessary to notify the
world of our intention to annex the
island.
Senator Hanna has grown very
tired of denying the story originated
by some one in the employ of New
York paper, that the wages of miners
in his employ, in Pennsylvania, had
been cut to the lowest price ever paid
in the Pittsburg Districts cents a
ton. Speaking on the subject, Sena-
tor Hanna said: There has been a
reduction Of wages, but not those of
the men employed by any of the COM
panies in which am interested. /
was asked to join and refused to do
so. My men are still receiving 90
cents ton. OF course it would be
expecting entirely too much to ask
that this very positive denial should
operate to keep the original lie out Of
Democratic papers.
Senator Hanna and several mem
bers Of the Ohio delegation in the
House have gone home to attend the
State convention The story that
Senator Foraker remained in Wash
ington because he was opposed to
Senator Hanna was, Of course, Of
Democratic origin. Senator Foraker
when asked about it, said there WASH t
