other dav in the "Mail" office. "When
we had Democratic President there
were lots Of idle men looking for a job.

old, and he was digging potatoes the
other day, and his wife, aged 10 years,
was helping him. They can't get any

Send Them to Bed With a Kiss.

o mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn out with the cares of the day.
You often grow cross and impatient.
Complain OF the noise and the play:
For the day brings SO many veXations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothers, whatever may veX you.
Send the children to bed with a kiss,
The dear little feet wander often.
Perhaps, from the pathway Of right.
The dean little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the dcsolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss.
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings
Send the children to bed with a kiss
For some day their noise will not vex you
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for the sweet children voices
For a sweet childish face at the door
And to press a child's face to your bosom.
You'd give all the world for just this:
For the comfort twill bring you in sorrow
Send the children to bed with kiss,
Selected.

Superior to Liverpool.

Pioneer Press.
A new transportation company is an
nounced in Chicago, the indirect in
fiuence of which is liable to be far
reaching, If it is successful. 1t proposes
to run line of boats from Chicago
through to Montreal and possibly to
Liverpool. Heretofore only boats of
small tonnage have been able to pass
through the Welland canal, but the
widening and deepening of that water
way has made feasible the use of much
larger vessels. AS the cost of trans
ferring cargoes constitutes large por-
ton of the cost of transportation the
economy of vessels that can take their
cargoes at the wharyes of Chicago, Mill
waukee or Superior and carry them
through to Liverpool or any other Eur
opean port without rehandling ought to
have decided influence on the cur
rents of commerce. But the economy
of vessels of large tonnage is so great in
comparison with any that can go
through the new Welland canal that
there is no likelihood that the wharves
of New York will rot away for lack of
western business for some time to come.
Yet the fact that it is seriously proposed
not only to transport freight, but to
carry passengers from the center Of this
continent to the ports of Europe in
steamers as elegantly equipped as any
on the lakes foreshadows the time, not
80 very remote in the future, when
even as a seaport, Chicago, and not I'M
probably Superior, may vie with New
York for first place. By the time the
dream is realized of waterway of suffi-
cient depth and width to accommodate
the largest sea-golng vessels, the coun-
try for which Superior will be the port
will he teeming with the millions that
now crowd the states farth tr east. But
just at present Superior and Duluth
owe it to themselves and to the region
they draw upon to open their own
pathway to the docks and warehouses
of Liverpool and Hamburg through the
existing Canadian canals. This step
forward will give an impulse to the
movement for a deep waterway from
the lakes to the ocean, which will gath
er head way with every succeeding de-
cade until achieved Greater under
takings have been accomplished many
times in the last half-century than is
involved in the dream of such a chan
mel for the commerce of the world, diff
ticult and even stupendous as the en-
terprise now seems. Meantime, the
enlarged Canadian canals open new
and cheaper outlet for the commerce Of
the northwest, which cannot fail to be
of great advantage to the Twin Cities,
as we'll as to Superior and Duluth.
