And God, Who hears both sun-driod dust

And the rose answered, "Tn that evil hour

flower?
For To- the very gossamers are still.'
And a voice answered, Son, by Allah's

Then softly as a ran-mist on the sward,
Came to the rose the answer of the Lord
Sister before we smote the dark in

Ere yet the stars saw one another plain,
Time Tide and Space, We bound unto

department and particularly in tropl-
cal countries where there are not
enough white men to form an army and
where a native militia is a menace.
In most OF the tropical colonies Of
England the home methods of self
government have been rejected as un-
suitable. The British safeguard has
been found in the creation Of "a special
colonial service and an experienced
colonial office. the latter i'm London.
Mr.. Bryce states cmphatically that no
such experiment would be tried by an
English statesman, as was tried in this
country after the civil war, when full
rights Of suffrage were conferred on
the lately emancipated colored people
Of the south. He strongly deprecates
a similar experiment in the case of the
negroes i'm the West Indies or the
Malays Of the eastern archipelago, and
this warning it would be well for the
United States to heed. at least to the
extent Of making haste very slowly
with regard to the government of the
newly-acquired islands.
With respect to the Philippines this
writer says that England would prob
ably proceed to select for a governor
the best man she could find among per-
sons of Indian or colonial experience.
She would give him wide powers with
a large salary, and would assign to him
a staff of capable officers. a grant of
money from the imperial eXchcquer
would be made. The police would be
reformed and placed under q British
chief, while the courts would be re-
modelled, although native usages would
be respected as far as possible. Lot
teries. main source of revenue under
the Spanish rule, would be promptly
eXtinguished and an effort might be
made to restrict or stop the sale Of
drink to the natives.
In one respect, at least. Mr.. Bryce
should be sustained and that is in his
advice to go softly, go warily," and
make a thorough investigation in order
to ascertain the facts. "Most of the
blunders in India" he says, have been
due to insufficient information prOduc-
be ascertained by men specially quail
fed. by scientific observers, by expert
enced travellers, by practical econo-
mists. Ordinary politicians are i'll fitted
for such investigations. Politicians in
deed are not the men to send to these
new countries at all; their habits of
thought and action are out of place"
Now this will scarcely be pleasant
reading for large number of men in
this country who will Clamor for the
office of investigator and who would
accomplish such a task much after the
fashion Of a Cooks tourist, and with
results equally valuable to the govern
ment. The idea Of an investigating
committee of some sort is a good one,
but still better is the suggestion that
politicians be given no opportunity to
accept such a position.

A Pleasant Outlook.


Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, since his
return from Chicago, where he made
an address to the League of Railroad
Telegraphers and Employees, has given
utteranCe in unqualified terms to the
impressions he received on this visit.
When the invitation came for him to
go there and speak he had no idea Of
the organization these men had and
what power they can he. The most
remarkable thing is the change which
has been wrought. \ few years ago
the railroad managers and the en-
ployes of that region were at each 9TH
crs throats, and Federal troops had TO
he sent to uueil the riot There are
now sevonty-Gve thousand members Of
the order in that section of the Coun-
t"y. THEY are banded together" says
Senator Depcw mot to fight the rail-
way managers hut 10 help them 50
far as they can and at the same time
maintain their own rights. The
watch legislation and fight any that
threatens the honest interests Of the
railroads"
one Of their leaders told him the
situation in the following words: I'VE
railroad men have been thinking the
matter over This organization is not
like the one Dchs led. We realize that
railroad management in this country
today is far different from what it used
e. be when single man owned road
.l,r l.. .,t,t
Of it: or crowd Of speculative schem-
ers gut hold of a road to do what they
wanted with it. Now, the great public
owns a road, controls it by a board Of
directors. and that board has a gem
cral manager. We know that his in
terests are our interests. and we are
going 10 help him all We can. 1t has
been the fashion for political agitators
to come 70 us and say that these same
managers are our enemies and ask for
our support 50 they can get offices and
then attack the roads. We have found
that hard times for the road means
hard times for us, and that prosper
Gus road usually treats its men well.
We have decided that when these fell
lows come around with their hue and
cry. to tell them To- send their speeches
TO the newspapers and not give them Il
legislative background, by our votes,
to talk from and enact laws that ham
per the road ana eventually hurt us"
The senator is much gratified at the
way the men of the organization re-
CeivCd him as one Of their number and
because nearly to a man they are dis
posed to stand by sound money. He
expresses, however, significant view
of the whole matter when he says that
he does not know what will be the out
come of this but that it is n serious
thing for the politicians to study. The
railroad men hold the balance OF power
in nearly every close or doubtful state.
If they become convinced that any
clique OF politicians or any party is
opposing their interests they can make
it lively for that element. He believes
il possible that this great force can

for the good of the railway employees
and of the country, but realizes that to
effect this end will neccssitatc tact and
