A QUEER PARTING.

As he was standing on the platform of
the station with q lot OF other people.
Tudie drove up and jumped out OF the
phaeton. and came straightto him with
out q salutation to one Of her friends or
acquaintances.
"You are going homer" she asked.
Il am"

did you think it proper!" she asked
with curl Of her lip.
II thought it wise. Are you going tn
marry Henry Gibson?"
Such IN expression came into her face.

Dick was only twenty lone. but he knew
he would never again suffer 40 at that

almost despair in her eyes. But she re-

Just then the train came in. Holding
himself under stern control, Dick put
out his hand to say goodby. She burst
into an agony OF tears. and threw her
arms around his neck. Though ell the
town eeemed there, interested and
amused, Dick felt they were as much
alone as under the trees on the lawn. He
held her close in her arms while the bell
OF the engine made fearful din.

Never she said, passionately.
"Never again."

about as they please Snd bill pro-
hibiting passes will take away most
OF the managers power and restore to
the railroads the pay for services
whose value has too long been I'M
recognized.
An editorial in Wednesdays Jour-
nal attempted to Justify the giving of
passes to state officials by arguing that
it permitted those officials to travel
about their districts in search Of the
needs of their constituents. The
passes were not given for any such
reason by the roads but in self defense
and il the people of the state need to
see the governor of the state they
should make his Excellency trans
portation allowance. There is no
reason why the railroads should be
taxed for this service. Besides it
would be cheaper to pay for it in the
first place.
The Hon. Peter Sterling" in de-
fining the difference between a boss
and a reformer says in effect that the
refOrmer never can control the votes
necessary to accomplish his schemes
and the boss can and does.
The practice and precepts Of the
political boss might we'll be fol-
lowed by sour best citizens" who
commonly dispise him. The boss
knows the people whose votes he asks
for. He is never a Pharisee. He
grants favors to the jewellers in his
ward and what is still more he is not
above asking favor Of the humblest.
He is genial. He knows the fatal con-
sequences of what is known outside
of medical circles, as swelled head
and he hides all the symptoms from
the ward when he has an attack. He
is vigilant and always stays up all
night before crisis. He knows no
hoi pollOi or if he does he loves it. The
successful lawyer who would make
creditable congressman does not know
the first names or the residences OF
the people whose w.tes are necessary
to send him to congress. He may be
a great man but they do not know it
and they vote for Dave or Bill who
has cared to get acquainted with
them. Neither Bill nor Dave may
possess the intellect useful to him
who undertakes to manage the affairs
of a nation, but they can get govern
ment buildings and numerous little
comforts which the district that
sent him prefers to craftsmanship.
OF course when a wise congress is
needed to reflect and advise upon
a question like that relating to the
PHILIPPINES or negotiations with
Spain, Dave and Bill are Of no value,
especially if they do not realize their
limitations and insist upon having an
opinion. At such times Providence
alone has prevented congress in the
past from making very bad mis-
takes and those who believe that
Providence always stands ready to
render the blunders Of an imbecile
innOcuOus do not ''view with alarm
the tendency Of American people 20
send ''hustlers" to congress. But il
the great men in every community
would learn of the boss the grade Of
congressional intelligence might be
gradually elevated.

the many obstacles to prosperity and
contentment Is the absence OF land
lords from their estates. No landlord
OF them all has seen her estate as sell
dom as the queen. No wonder her
tenants grumble and object to pay The
tax which supports her. Why should
the Irish pay for the support OF a
queen who has not visited Ireland Tor
thirty wears or more and whose right
70 rule over them they dispute?
The Prirfe Of Wales, on the contrary,
has the quite unroyal capacity OF
looking & things from the peoples
point OF view and he has made up ms
mind that the Irish citizens OF Great
Britain have the same rights as those
on the English side Of the channel. SO
that when the good queen dies, to the
subjects on the Emerald Isle the cor0-
nation Of King Edward VII will
probably mean the beginnings OF an
understanding with England from
the elimination of which many years
later both the English and Irish will
look back with thankfulnese for the
unity which makes them strong.

nort Of the Denver Biennial written
by the editor of the club department
Of the Boston Herald for that paper
and published in the issue of July a.
The article was sent me by Mrs. Breed
and reflects the sentiment OF Mrs.
Breeds friends i'm Massachusetts,. 1t
is to be regretted that women cannot
accept defeat any more gracefully, or
with less of personal vindictiveness
than men. The report. which is inter-

her. and of Mrs Breeds prescriptive
right TO the presidency.
There was no conspiracy to defeat
Mrs. Breed. The majority of the
delegates came to the convention I'M
pledQed, unorganized. Undecided.
After considering the candidates ana
the situation. and the demands OF the
position Mrs. Breeds friends Thought
her capable OF filling, large majority
az the convention decided against
Mrs. Breeds eligibility. The incum-
bent OF the Office should possess
catholic culture and large executive
ability. There are not many women
in the east perhaps, who could pass SO
creditable an examination as mrs.
Breed did, but she was tried ana
found wanting in the extraordinary
fitness which the president OF the
federation of women's clubs should
possess. Secondly, the Massachusetts
delegation said that Mrs. Breed wa
the heir apparent. that at the LOUIS
Vile Biennial Mrs. Henrotin ceded to
Ms. Breed her reversionary rights TO
the presidency in consideration OF her
services at thattime. One represent

She wandered away
From the garden Of childhood,

We watched her trip
from flower to flower

Her dear little face
was roguishly bright,
And two sweet little dimples
were plain IN sight.

And golden curls

tion of a strong character. So this
statement is premature, at least.
In the enumeration OF states be-
longing to the general federation the
reporter omits Nebraska which has a
rapidly increasing roster Of 3, 800 indi'
viduals represented in the state feder-
alton and much smaller number
represented in the general federation.
Before the next Biennial Nebraska
should have a representation in it
propOrtioned to the number of clubs
in the state and the interest Of the
membership in the real objects Of the
federation.
The cOnglomerate convention which
met this week and the republican con-
vention which will meet next Wednes-
day will be Influenced either one way or
the other by representatives OF the
railroads. Some Of the delegates have
become convinced that the railroads
are the enemies of the population
rural and urban. The contrary is
true. Nebraska owes to the railroads
what child owes its mOther-exist-
ence. Without railroads Nebraska
farms would be cattle ranges, and the
states producing capacity not worth
tabulating. The foregoing is as self
evident as the converse that the rail-
roads owe their profits to the people.
The relation of one to the other
is interdependant. Railroads, as cor.
pOratiOns have no political ambitions
or schemes Of reform. The first rail-
road company formed had no cOnnec-
ton with and no interest in politics,
though at the present time such
aloofness:is incOmprehensible. But
gradually, when concessions and
grants became necessary, the COM
panies found it expedient to get &C.
quainted with the president, with
and legislators, even with
mayors and cOuncilmen. Later it was
found that it was easier to select I'M
prejudiced legislators than confluence
later. So the pass sys-
tenn was adopted for use in campaigns.
Men who would scorn to accept five
dollars as gift or as bride will take
five dollars worth Of mileage to which
they are not entitled by any of the
rules OF harter or commerce, and by
SO doing fetter their action and opir-
ion.
A railroad company should not be
forced to take the offensive. There is
no more reason why it should be in
politics for self-preservation than
which sells potatoes. Trans
pOrtation is valuable Cars and steam
and employees cost money and are in
the market. If the price is too large
consumption will be lowered and
affect receipts. Freight rates and
passenger fares are commodities
which should be settled upon a basis
of the cost Of production. They can
not be settled by the legislature any
more than the price Of corn. The
complex result Of sixty years of the
fight for existence has
blinded our eyes to the inalienable
rights Of a corporation and to the un-
alterable laws of commerce, SO that
we no longer resolve the problem into
one or two simple propositions. II we

cannot exist without the people, that

Finally the employment Of man
by the railroads to see that only can

tempt to Raise Funds.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Inteiiigencer.
TACOMA. June 2i.-A meeting OF the
finance committee of the Fourth OF july
celebration was held today with the re-
suit that it was agreed it would be best
TO abandon all attempts 10 hold the ceie
bration on the lines intended. Whether
the decision Of this committee will be in
dorsed by the people generally Is not yet
known. but the weak showing made in
the efforts 10 raise money 10 pay the ex-
pense CT rousing celebration is believed
to make II improbable that a suitable
celebration can be he'd.
The first move In The direction of secur-
ing a fireworks display was a failure. A
California agent who closed deals for dis
pays at Portland and Seattle was in
vited here by wire. He declined to sell
the committee what was wanted. All the
money offered was $3.50, and the agent re-
fused TO sell a display for this money
saying 1t would prove unsatisfactory TO the
people and would reflect upon his estab-
fishment.
If the celebration Is abandoned, as now
seems likely, Tacoma, citizens will take
advantage OF the invitation extended BY
nearby cities and spend the day away
from home.
