JUST WHISTLE A BIT.

Just whistle a bit. II the day be dark,
And the sky be overcast;
If mute be the voice of the piping lark
Why, pipe your own small blast.
And it's wonderful how over the gray
sky-track,
The truant warbler comes stealing back.
But why need he come? for your souls
at rest,
And the song in the heart-ah. that is
best.
Just whistle a bit. IL the night be drear.
And the stars refuse to shine;
And a sleam that mocks the starlight
clear
Within you glows benign.
Till the dearth Of light in the glooming
skies,
Is lost to the sight OF your soul-nt eyes.
What matters the absence OF moon or
star?
The light within is the best by far.
Just whistle a bit. II there's work to do
With the mind or in the soil.
And your nCte will turn out n talismar
true,
To exercise grim Toll.
1t will tighten your burden and make
you feel
That there's nothing like work as q
sauce for u meal:
And with song in your heart and the
meal In Its place,
There'll be JOY in your bosom and light
in your face.
Just whistle a bit. II your heart is sore.
'Tis a wonderful balm for pain;
Just pipe some old melody DER and DER
Till it soothes like summer rain.
And perhaps 'twould be best in a latel
day.
When Death comes stalking down tn,
way.
| To knock at your bosom and see II 20,
fit.
Then. as you wait calmly. just whistle
bit.

spheres" than shall be levied on SINH
lar merchandise belonging to their own
nationals transported over equal dis
tances.
To these requests each of the six
powers has replied in writing, affirm
ing its willingness to do as requested,
providing the other powers will do like
wise. The reply Of Germany contains
this interesting passage, which frank
ly states the common positions: THE
imperial government has from the be-
ginning not only asserted, but also
practically carried out to the fullest
extent, in its Chinese possessions. abb
solute equality Of treatment of all ma
tions with regard to trade. navigation
and commerce. The imperial govern
ment entertains no thought of depart
ing in the future from this principle,
which at once excludes any prejudicial
or disadvantageous commercial treat
ment of the citizens of the United
States of America, SO long as 1t Is not
forced to do SO, on account of consid-
erations Of reciprocity, by a diverg-
ence from it by other governments"
The "open door, means, therefore.
that no discrimination Is to be prac-
ticed by a nation with a foothold In
China against the citizens of any other
nation which now has a just claim to
equal treatment. But II one power
shall begin to discriminate, the others
will either retaliate or fight. We can
best keep the "open door" open by
having at command naval force like
ly to make the prospect of war unin-
viting to any nation exhibiting symp-
toms of bad faith; and by keeping on
| sufficiently good terms with the faith
| keeping powers to make improbable
| the necessity for an actual recourse to
war. A strong navy is, though, the
safest guarantee. for 1t is something
which no foreigner can under any cir
cumstances misinterpret

government of Puerto Rico,
upon whichNa vote will be
taken in the senate next
Tuesday. authorizes the organization
of a civil administration to be COM
posed OF a governor appointive by the
president, of a legislature partly ap-
pointive and partly elective, and of
an appointive judiciary. The governor
and his cabinet council will practical
ly control the details of administra-
ton, subject to guidance from WASH
ington in matters of general policy.
There is to be in Washington resi-
dent commissioner from Puerto Rico,
receiving $1,000 annual salary and act
ing as representative of the island
in it's dealings with the federal gov
ernment. This commissioner is to be
appointed by the civil governor of
Puerto Rico. The inhabitants of the
island are defined as "citizens of
Puerto Rico, and as such entitled to
the protection Of the United States"
For purposes Of revenue the rates
OF the Dingley tariff are to be applied
to all imports entering Puerto Rico
with two exceptions. For ten year
period, beginning April II, 1899. GER
tain special privileges of minor i'm
portance are to be accorded to Span
ish tradesmen as stipulated in the
treaty OF Paris; and in reference to
commerce between the island and the
United States Is per cent. of the du =.
ties of the Dingley tariff are to pre-
vail at both shore lines, plus a tax
equal to the internal duties on similar
articles of domestic production SUBJ
ject to internal taxation, with the ex-
ception that articles OF necessity i'm
ported into Puerto Rico from the
United States are to be admitted free.
Whenever the legislative assembly of
Puerto Rico shall have put in opera
ton system of local taxation to meet
the necessities of the government of
Puerto Rico and shall have formally
apprised the president of the United
States Of that fact, the latter shall
make proclamation of the fact. where
| upon "all tariff duties OH merchandise
| and articles going into Puerto Rico
| from the United States or coming into
| the United States from Puerto Rico
! shall cease, and from and after such
| date all such merchandise and arti-
| cles shall be entered at the several
| ports of entry free of duty: and in nc
event shall any duties be collected af-
ter the lst day of March, 1902" All
the collections of duties and taxes thus
provided for are to be handed into
the Puerto Rican pocket book for the
| public purposes of the island.
This in substance is the bill likely
to be adopted by the senate on Tues.
day of next week and likely soon af.
| terward to become a law. 1t leads ur
to free trade as rapidly as possible
