Speaking of the very arbitrary man
ner in which Speaker Reed ruled the
house, the Chicago Times Herald says:
upon the endless tongue. To have men
like Allen and Morgan stand up and
talk for hours and days to empty seats
that is not debate, nor intended TO be
such, and should be put down by a
hand as unsparing as Reeds. That
kind Of discussion leads nowhere and
only disgusts the country.
ION the other hand. the passage of a
law by force of the gavel is not legisla-
ton. 1t is autocracy, and not a whit
more pleasing to the people. We are
evidently approaching time when
ton of rules in both houses that will
sanction reasonable debate and bring
about undelayed action.
However much the people may de-
sire promptness in the transaction OF
legislative business. they do not care to
in one man, and however much they
may wish that all important measures
may pass through the crucible of dis
cussion, they do not want every debate
to comprise the whole circuit of human
knowledge.
There is a mean. which is indeed
golden, somewhere between these ex-
tremes, and the nation will gladly well
come the statesman that finds it,"

TIE BABY ACROSS THE WAY.
NALBERT SHERMAN

NALBERT SHERMAN
Full OF mirth and play,
Late 2 form of beauty
ROBBED in garments white,
Startled me from duty
Yielding rare delight;
Eyes OF azure brightness
Lit with heavens blue;
Skin of Dearly whiteness,
Lips of carmine hue:
Brow of mold exquisite
Fit for prince or earl
Do YOU ask who is it?
oh it's not girl.
But bright boy baby
Full of mirth and play,
And of mischief, maybe
Just across the way.
Own him would 1 rather
Than q coupon bond,
But he has a father
And a mother fond,-
They'd make no concession
But would force employ
To retain possession
Of that baby boy.
One can bear such losses
Still and be content;
Trials, cares and crosses
For the best are meant
I should sadden maybe
Seeing day by day,
Changes in the baby
Just across the way.
III.
Brave old Ponce de Leon
With his wild command
Sailed the western sea on,
Tramped across the land:
Ship and men disabled,
Nigh TO death. in sooth,
Seeking for the tabled
Fount of endless youth.
Had he lived deserving
Such source of wealth.
Age and death defying.
Bringing youth and health,
I would follow. maybe,
Pausing not day,
With that sunny baby
Just across the way.
But q sober second
Thought / can but choose.
Having scarcely reckoned
Ali that he would lose:
All of boyhood's pleasures
All of youths glad life;
All that manhood treasures
Love and mirth and strife;
All the griefs that chasten.
All the tears that save:
All the cares that hasten
Mortals to the grave.
Should l thus deny thee
Work and strife and play,
What could l supply thee.
Babe across the way?
v
1 would gladly borrow
More of joy than gloom,
But l know the morrow
VIII destroy his bloom:
Such sweet flowers are given
Unto me and you
AS a glimpse of heaven
Through the distant blue.
Soon the falling curtain
Swiftly cleayes the air
Making ell uncertain
/ will breathe IN prayer,
Clouds pass ever lightly
Ger thee, babe at play,
Sun and stars shine brightly
Just across the way.

that this is a government of the trusts.

San Francisco Chronicle: The decision
of the Canadian government not to en-
force the aiken labor law on the British
Columbia border is wise and we trust
it may be followed by equally prudent
courses about the collection of royalties
from foreign miners. In the United
States, Canadians have always mad The
same rights as Americans in placer dig
gings, and there is no reason now that
the chances TO get sudden wealth have
been shifted across the line, why discrim-
mating laws should be imposed by the
Ottawa government. Such policy would
make bad blood on both sides and posi-
bly, cause some of i'll to flow.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

The many friends of Percy Mullen
of Formap, who was recently acciden-
tly shot, we're greatly shocked to learn
that he haa passed over into the
great beyond last Monday. The
history of the case briefly told is as
follows:
Mr.. Mullen and his friend, Miss
Stella Bingham, attended church on
the evening OF September 18th, and
after the services Mr.. Mullen accom-
panied Miss Bingham to her rooms
in the postotfce. Miss Bingham is
an employee in the Forman post Of
flee, aud friend had presented her
her with a revolver. While in the
office they were having pleasant
time chatting and telling what they
would do if any one should attempt
to break into the postoffice. Mr..
Mullen had revolver with him also
and Miss Bingham picked up her
weapon and remarked that she
"would surely shoot" Unconci iously
she pulled the trigger, and as the re-
voiver was self cooking arrange
ment, the hall sped forth and passed
through the thigh OF Mr., Mullen.
There was only one cartridge IN the
gun and this had been placed there
by Mr., Mullen,
Immediately after the accident
help was summoned. The resident
sergeon, DR.. Bradley, was out of
town, and Dr.. Patterson of Cogswell,
was called. After some considerable
delay he arrived and took charge. In
this age OF the world gun wounds
ara not considered very dangerous,
although in vital part, but forsome
reason the wound OF Mullen's did not
yield to the treatment given by Pat
terson, and blood poisoning set il
