There Is No Death.

 "A fugitive poem that many authors caim.D There is no death The stars go down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in heavens jeweled crown They shine forevermore. There is no death The dust we tread Shall change beneath the summer showers To golden grain or mallow foot Or rainbow tinted flowers. The granite rocks disorganize To feed the hungry moss they bear: The forest leaves drink daily life From out the yicwleSs air. There is no death The leaves may fall. The flowers fade and pass away They only wait through wintry hours The coming of the May. There is no death An Angel form x Walks OCT the earth with silent tread: He bears our best beloved things away. And then we call them dead He leaves our hearts all desoiate: He plucks our fairest sweetes; flowers; TranSplanted into bliss they now .Adorn immortal bowers. The bird like voice. whose joyous tones Made glad this scene of sin and strife, Sings now her everlasting songs Amid the Tree of Life.

FRESH FISH FAMINE.

There is a fresh fish famine in Portland.
A great many fishermen got caught in
the two recent storms and their boats
were either destroyed or injured SO as to
unfit them for service. Then again it
has been very rough outside and they
have hardly got back into the old rut.
Not even u Hampton boat arrived with
fish yesterday. Thursday there was but
one fare ana this was soon sold. The
wholesalers have sent all the stock they
had on hand to Boston and New York in
boxes, receiving from six to eight cents
pound for all they could ship. There are
very few in the retail markets and there
will be none if the fishermen do not ar
rive with fares pretty soon. A large fleet
of small fishing boats has been anchored
near Peaks island for several days, no one
caring to go out.

FINE SKATING.

There is excellent skating at Deering
Oaks and many people are enjoying this
fine winter sport. Thursday night there
were at least 1000 skaters on the pono. and
last night there were fully 1900. The
skaters are complaining of the lack of
lighting facilities, and it is suggested
that the park commissioners transfer the
arc light which is near the band stand to
the fountain in the pond. This would
give sufficient light for all skaters.

Secretary Alger is severely blamed for the

PUBIC Indignation against him has been in
creaslng as the returning soldiers have scat
tered Into the thousands of communities from

ate the intensity Of this feeling. One Illus

put that IL an election were held tomorrow
ana the Democratic nominee were Bryan,
Wou!d swallow Democracy and free silver
much as hate both, rather than cast

another illustration of this feeling Is found
IN the statement published by the Springfield

staiwart Republican, who has never bolteI

Supt. Smiths Views.

Supt. Smith this morning continues
his discussion Of the public schools (be-
gun in The G | o last Sunday in
order that the citizens Of ST. Paul may
get, at first hand, his attitude toward
the questions Of interest to them. The
interview is taken up with the consid-
Grafton Of three topics, viz, the kinder
gartens, the publishing houses and the
Public School union. This announce
ment in itself is enough to command
the attention of readers, since these
are subjects toward which no wide
awake citizen is Indifferent. Mr.. Smith
makes the emphatic statement that the
so-called 81 tax on kindergarten and
manual training pupils is not a tax,
but voluntary contribution from those
parents who feel able to pay; while
those who do not may continue to send
their children without reference to the
contribution.
It will be Of interest to many, too, to
read what the superintendent has to
say about the publishing houses and
their holdings in the city. Finally, his
attitude toward the Public School union
is clearly stated-not only so, but sug-
gestions are thrown out as to the help
full things which it could do.
We take occasion to call attention
again to the fact that this interview,
together with the one in last Sundays
G 0 b e, constitutes the first and COM
plete statement Of the superintendent
views on important educational ques-
lions in the local system.

EPISTLES 10 81. PAUL.

A West side Polish Jew had gotten along IN
the world to the extent of having a place OF
business of his own. He had discarded the
pack and settled down. His store was not
large and 1t had an intimate connection with
his domestic arrangements. When the fire
came that ruined the poor man he lost his
stock of goods and his furniture. Happily, he
was insured and the adjuster looked him up
the day after the fire. The unfortunate one

goods very carefully and had apparently in

Now that the islands are ours the

From this mass Of ignorance for

says Mr.. Ridpath, you are expected
to produce American citizens" He then
sketches the growth of imperialism
under the guise of 'insular ambition. !"

Our Export Trade

Not only will the Pacific be the seat OF
naval, but also Of commercial, operations of
the future. Statistics show that our trade
with the nations to the westward is growing
more rapidly than in any other direction.
In this regard some figures showing the
changes in the worlds export trade since
lS'z to 1885 will prove of interest. At the
former period the United States stood I'm
fourth place with exports of four hundred
and thirty million dollars. Germany and
France being ahead Of this country. Now
the United States has stepped up to second
place with an increase of exports to 81 ESQ.,
$4,000. The export trade Of this country
increased more rapidly than that of any other
amounting to $50 per cent while Germany
increased only about 40 per cent. and that
Of France decreased
In connection with these figures the trade
of the United States with the Orient is known
to have not only increased within this
period, but to have grown from almost moth
ing to soodly proportion of our entire
foreign commerce.
The consumption of American goods in the
Orient is rapidly increasing. as well as the
demand for American machinery and manu-
featured articles, and the Pacific coast states
will ere long find there a market for a stin
larger proportion of their products. Besides
this, the settlement of this vast tract of
country by the completion of the railway
through Siberia viii furnish another exten-
sive market for our manufactured articles
