Love is as bitter as the dregs Of sin
As sweet as clover honey IN its cell;

That brands and burdens it is life and

It is the great law Of the universe;
And nothing can exist without its
breath.
Love is the impulse which directs the
world.
And an things know it and obey its
power.
Man is the maelstrom Of his passions
The bee that takes the pollen to the

EICHlIOND'S VICTORY.

The decision Of the Supreme Court Of
the United States in the suit Of the city
of Richmond against the Bell Telephone
Company, is a distinct triumph FOR the
great principle Of local selfgovernment.
The courts decision in effect is that the
city Of Richmond has complete control
over its streets, that it has the right TO
grant franchises at the discretion of the
Council and that no corporation may oc-
cupy the streets Of the city without its
consent.
We always believed that the court
would so decide. To hold otherwise. TO
say that a telephone company may come
into this city or into any city without
saying TO the Council by your leave. and
erect poles ana string wires and set I'D
shop in defiance Of the wishes Of the
people were to set at naught municipal
authority, and TO let the corporations
ride roughshod over us.
The Supreme Court Of the United states
has said that this sort Of thing shall not
be. Has said that the people of Richmond
are supreme within their own domain and
supreme in the conduct Of their own local
affairs.

in the absence of fuller information, it
