RARE JUNE DAYS.

James Russell Lowell.
Earth gets its price for what Earth gives
The beggar is taxed for corner to die in.
The priest hath his fee who comes and
shrives us, .
We bargain for the graves we lie in;
At the DEVILS booth are al things sold,
Each ounce of dross costs its ounce of gold;
For cap and bells our lives we pay,
Bubbles we buy with a whole soulS taSk1nB;
'Tis Heaven alone that is given away,
'Tis only God may be had ror the asking,
No price is set on the lavish summer;
And what is so rare day in June?
Then If ever come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries the earth If II be in tune
And over 1t softly her warm ear lays;
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see II gllsten,
Every clud feels stir of might,
An instinct within it thai reaches and
And groping bIindly above it for light,
Climbs to soul in grass and flowers;
The flush of life may well be seen
Thrilling back over hills and valleys;
The cowslip startles in meadows green,
The buttercup catches the sun in Its
And there's never a leaf nor blade too mean
10 be some happy creatures palace;
The little bird sits at his door IN the sun,
Atlt like blossom among the leaves
And lets his illumined being o'errun
With the deiuge of summer II receves
His mate feels the eggs beneath her wings,
And the heart in the dumb breast nutters
and sings;
He sings TO the wide world, and she to her
In the nice ear of Nature which song is the
best? -
Now Is the high tide CT the year,
And whatever of life hath ebbed away
Comes flooding back with rIpply cheer
Into every bare inlet and creek and bay;
Now the heart Is so full that drop over
We are happy now because God wills it;
No matter how barren the past may have
'Tis enough for us now that the leaves are
We q in the warm shade and feel right
How the sap creeps up and the blossoms
We may shut our eyes. but we cannot help
That skies are clear and grass Is growing;
The breeze comes whispering in our ear
That dandehons are biossoming near,
That maize has sprouted. that streams are
That the river is bluer than the sky,
That the robin is plastering his house hard
by;
And il the breeze kept the good news back.
For other courlers we should not lack:
We could guess II all by young heiters
And harf! how clear bold chanticleer,
Warmed with the new wine of the year,
Tells all In his lusty Growing!
JOY comes. grief goes, we know not how;
Everything Is happy now,
Everything Is upward striyingj
II Is as easy no" lot lne hehTl 10 Dc TRUE
As for grass to be green or skies to be blue
"fis the natural way of living;
Who knows whittier the clouds have fed?
In the unsecured heaven they leave no
wake;
And the eyes forget the tears they have
shed,
The heart forgets It's SORROW and ache;
The soul partakes he SEASONS youth,
And the sulphurous riffs OF passion and
woe,
LIE deep meath a silence pure and smooth,
Like burnt-out craters healed with snow,

As TO THE MARKET GARDENERS.

With its accustomed moral perverse-
ness and utter disregard for truth,
the World-Hcrald is trying by
misrepresentation to put The Bee
in an attitude of hostility to
the market gardeners of Omaha. The
Bee stands now as always for fair treat
ment for the market gardeners and every
other class of citizens. 1t is ready to
support the market gardeners in every
reasonable demand though it disagrees
with them on the sOundness of their
present position with respect to money
received by the city for rentals of stalls
in the market place.
The public should know what
is well understood among local
market gardeners that the recent
request fer awnings is only a pretext
that the real demand is, first, that
the entire sum realized from market stall
rentals be devoted 10 the expense of the
market and. second, thar the rentals be
reduced so rs to cover nothing but the
cost of maintenance OF the market place.
If the rentals eXacted by the city are ex-
tortlonate on excessive they certainly
should be reduced, but the theory can
not for Il moment be admitted that the
city has no legal right to derive net
revenue from its market place or that
whenever the revenue exceeds the eX,
pend;tures out of the market fund the
market gardeners may refuse TO pay
further rent. ENpressmen might Oh
the same ground refuse To take out
licenses because their money is not all
spent ON the express wagon stands and
fruit peddlers rebel because their license
money does not all come back TO lhem

hy direct appropriation out of the treas.
ury.
for in their stall rental is not the cN
pcnse of maintaining the market place
but also for the use of the
public streets us Il place of
business while retail dealers and
shopkcrpcrs have To pay rent to the
owners of the stores they occupy. Other
American cities derive snug items OF
revenue from their market places ana
there is no reason why Omaha should
not do likewise. provided, Of course, us
already stated, the stall rental is not
eXtortionnte or excessive.

TIE SPANISH CABINET CRISIS.

The expected has happened in the
resignation of the CanovaS cabinet. 1t
has been apparent for several weeks. or
ever since the liberals begun to aggres-
sively manifest their opposition to the
colonial policy of the Canovas ministry.
that Il cabinet crisis sooner or later was
inevitable. A short time ago the liberal
leader, Sagasta. took a determined stand
against the course being pursued. dcclar-
ing that it was leading the country to-
disaster and could no longer be coun-
tenanced by the liberal party. The con-
servatives We're equally determined to
maintain their policy. Hence there was
no way to Il compromise and the feeling
of hostility between the two parties
grew steadily stronger and more bitter.
There was personal encounter on the
floor of the COrtes between Il member
of the cabinet and Il prominent liberal
leader and while a sort of truce was ar
ranged the incident served to increase
the bitterness. The liberals refused to
attend the Cortes thus blocking legisa-
ton, and its sittings had finally to be
suspended by royal decree. In these
circumstances there was nothing left for
the ministry but to resign and devolve
upon the queen regent the duty, pccu-
liarly grave under existing conditions,
of appointing Il new cabinet.
Sngasta and his followers are in favor
of IL broader and more liberal colonial
policy than the conservatives have pro-
posed. They are no less patriotic and
devoted to the interests of Spain than
the conservatives and no less determined
that the colonial possessions shall re-
main in control of Spain. But they be-.
lieve that Il change of policy along more
liberal lines, is necessary to assure this
and if given power they may be eX-
pected to propose some such system of
government for Cuba as was promised
during the former rebellion, but never
wholly put into effect-a system ap-
proaching very closely to absolute home
rule. 1t may be doubted. however,
whether even this would put an end to
the insurrection, for the Cubans have
little more faith in the liberals than
they have in the conservatives and they
have repeatedly declared that they will
have nothing short of Independence.
There has really been grave state
of affairs in Spain for some time and
of course it is intensified by the resig-
nation of the cabinet. 1t is an exceed
ingly DerpleXing situation for the queen
regent and but for the high regard in
which she is held by the people her ac-
tion might easily precipitate n revolu-
tion. Whatever she shall do-whether
she reappoint the ministers who have
resigned or form n liberal cabinet-lt is
probable that serious trouble will follow.
The Cubans are likely to find encour-
agement in the situation.

ILLINOIS Ar THE EXPOSITION.

The appropriation by the Illinois legis-
lature of $500 for an Illinois building
and exhibit at the TmnsmissiSsipp EX-
position should give additional impetus
to the progress of that great enterprise.
Although Illinois is not literally a trans
mississippi state. 1t is thoroughly iden-
titled with tranSmisSissippi interests, and
its commercial and industrial inStitu-
tions depend largely upon the patronage
of the transmississippi region For
pluck, enterprise and public spirit IL
linois bears the transmississippi stamp
and it's representation at Omaha in 1898
will increase it's prestige throughout the
great west
For the success of the exposition the
libelality of the Illinois legislatures
contribution must not b, underestmated.
Illinois appropriation of $4,000 is, with
the exception of Nebraska's $4,000, the
largest state appropriation yet secured.
II is greater than the combined appro-
priations thus far of the five other states
that have made provision for state eX-
hibitS and three times the greatest of
them. For the legislatures that are to
meet in transmississippi states the com
ing winter the example of Illinois ought
to be Il great incentive for emulation
to the extent of their resources. 1t
ought also to be of service In stimulating
further private stock subscriptions and
donations, to say nothing of insuring a
large attendance of Illinois people and
attracting the attention of Illinois cap
italists and investors who have Il repu-
tation for making the best of their op-
portunities
Omaha and Nebraska extend compli-
ments to 9llinois and bespeak for IL
linois an enthusiastic welcome to the

According to the estimate of the direc-
tor of the mint the production of silver in
the United States for the year 1896 was
greater by 100000 ounces than for the
year preceding. 1t is to be noted. too,
that during that period the price of silver
has gone down. The economic law of
