The vision of Pence.

From the New York Times.
ION the Assembling of the international
Conference at The Hague)
l stood upon mighty mountain top
And saw, thro' all the world
From utmost East to furthest West
The flags of battle furl d.
Ten thousands hosts or armed men,
AS sweeps a Summer rain,
Passed on with distant-thundrin feet
Across the trampled plain.
The bugle's shrill, awakening call
Died, faint and far away.
And songs of cheer and brotherhood
Rose UP to greet the day.
The fields that erst were dark with blood
Plowed deep by battle shard-
Smiled in the harvest-gladden'd sun
Like gardens of the Lord!
From many an humble peasant hut,
That knew the torch's glare,
Arose the midday smoke of peace
Like incense on the air.
And there, beneath the trellis vine,
That cast Pickering shade,
With leap and shout of winsome glee
The happy children play'd.
F'ull-udder'd came the cattle home,
Large-eyed in deep content:
With many a frisk and joyous neigh
To grass the horses went.
The farmers son. with head erect,
Returned from distant wars,
Walked as a willing captive now
With Love beneath the stars!
Afar a surging tide of men
Thro' granite channels pour'd:
Upon the shifting shores of trade
The city's ocean roar'd;
And as the billow rose and fell,
The mountain watcher saw
That all its surging, restless flow
Obeyed the reign of Law.
The mingled discord seemed a strife
Within a narrow span,
But to the silent nights il sweiled
The choral hymn of mani
The golden vision famed again
That fired the Hebrew seer,
And Life was bathed, as by a sun,
In love that knew no fear!
Thus from the spirits mountain top
The spirits hearing caught
Those inner strains of harmony
The olden prophets sought:
When, lol the opening hearts of men
on ocean, hill, and plain,
Gave pause, from out the flying race,
To greet the joyous strain.
Sweet Peace was hailed a conqueror
Where erst she dare not dwell
And earth and sky were glad. and knew
God lives and all is we'll!

A queer case, growing out Of mans
exceptional sent-mindedness, was tried
before a New York jury recently Loui:
Deitz. who died in 1897 as the result Of an
accident had an accident policy. He had
been married twice His FIRST wife died
long before he took out the policy and he
had married again, but in the writing OF
the policy his first wife, instead Of his
second one, was named as the beneficiary.
The administrator Of the estate declined
TO pay the widow the amount of the pol
icy, and she brought suit to recover i,
alleging that Deitz intended that she
should be the beneficiary but that in a
fit of absence of mind had inserted the
first wife's name instead of her own. The
jury took the same view, and gave her
the verdict.

The possibility that the Governor of Ken
lucky win have to answer for violation
Of the liquor laws of Tennessee is rather
amusing. Gov Bradley and staff, en- route
TO the unwilling of the Kentucky monu-
ment at Chiekamauga Park. stopped over
night in Chattanooga. They visited a club
and while there exchanged courtesies and
good wishes with themselves and their To-
cal friends until some time after Il O'Clock
II is the law in Chattanooga that drink
ing places shall be closed at 10 p. m. A few
days ago a preacher, Mr.. Garrett, went
before the grand jury and gave evidence
OF the visiting Governors violation Of the
liquor laws.

The Boston journal says It has received
the following Endorsement of a certain pop
ular song from Sioux City:
Gentlemen: / introduced Borsch and
Sheeley's beautiful sentimental ballad

mildly-I was hit fifty times before 1 could
get off the stage.
The city officials gave me banquet al
ter the show. The spread didn't consist
of very much-it was chiefly bread and
water. I was so pleased with it l re-

your beautiful song. Yours respectfully,

A novel theory to account for the
grounding of the steamship Paris on the
coast of Cornwall is advanced by Brit

the rocks along that coast, from Porthal-

magnetic. I'm the case Of these miles Of

CURRENT COMMENT.

Discussing the Lake City, s. c., post
office case, the Baltimore Sun Dem)
says: ''The administration is morally re-
sponsible for the death of the colored
postmaster at Lake City. The President
and the Postmaster General knew that
the appointment of a colored man as post
master was offensive to the people of
South Carolina, Just as IL would be in
Ohio and Pennsylvania. where the admin
istration Is shrewd enough not to make
such appointments. To shut up postotfice
in an arbitrary way, to forbid people to
put letters on trains and to derange the
business of an entire community may be
all right in Russia or Turkey but it
seems very strange In the United States
Since the administration began to make
threats, however, against people who do
not agree with it's Philippine policy TO
denounce as TRAITORS" those who con-
demned its course, and to exclude their
letters from the mail, nothing need sur
prise US"
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd) says;
Probably the most serious development
of the Cuban situation that has yet APP
peared is the disarmament of bodies of
troops without waiting for their pay from
the United States, their members pre-
ferring 10 keep their arms, even at the
cost of forfeiting the money due them.
In the well-known state of the Cuban
population this means that many of them
will resort to brigandage. They are an
cry because the Importation of arms to
the islands has been forbidden, and since
they cannot supply themselves by pur-
| chase they will keep what they have.
1t is not hard to forsee a long period of
brigandage in Cuba, perhaps dignitied by
the name of guerilla warfare, but re-
press Il, by whatever name it may be
called.
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) says:
Now when the Spanish cruiser which
we have lifted from the bottom of the
channel at Santiago, shall have been re-
paired and painted and put in shooting
trim, some notoriety seeking ass will want
to have her name changed from Reina
Mercedes to something else. The change
should never be made. She is a trophy.
II did not need any act of Congress to
naturalize her, and she doesn't need to be
rechristened."
The Birmingham News Oem) says:
THE Populist leaders are now busy de-
claring that after all PETER amounted to
nothing. and that the loss to their party
is of small consequence. They are wrong.
The Kansan in his whislxers furnished a
picturesqueness to Populism which it can
not now obtain and without which Il can
not hope TO attract even passing notice
When Populism lost the Pefferian beard
it lost its mascot

The suggestion that the Southern Rail-
way will build a road from Allendale, S.
c., direct to Jacksonville, and leave Sa-
vannah twenty-five miles to one side, is
probably pure speculation. Savannah is
too great and important a city and port
for any considerable railway system to
miss by only twenty-five miles. The
tourist business to Savannah is becoming
greater every year, and if for no other
reason, the Southern would desire to place
itself in position to control its fair share
of this business. Besides, there are many
desire to come to Savannah.

Our Northern friends do not like to have
a part of the burden Of responsibility for
the race problem publicly laid at their
doors They are bound to acknowledge
that responsibility when they are brought
face to face with the facts, but they do
not like to talk about the past Reform
ers like Gov. Northen Of Georgia will not
solve the negro problem of to-day" says
The Philadelphia Ledger ''by barking
back to its past history" Does the con-
scientous and competent physician pre-
scribe for a dangerous disease before care
fully studying the history of it? He does
not, but considers cause and then effect,
and makes his remedy accordingly.
