The Maine Farmer urges the people
who want the tax system reformed to or
ganize and formulate their demands.
The Farmer apparently has the grange
particularly in mind. But the grange
has no deeper interest in a reform OF our
taxation methods than the jewellers in
cities. The notion which seems to be
assiduOusly cultivated in some quarters
that the farmers are the chief bearers
Of the tax burdens Is erroneous, The
merchants, especially the small ones, and
the manufacturers are the bearers Of quite
as heavy burdens as the farmers.

CURRENT COMMENT.
THE NEW YORK DEFALCAr1oN.
(Boston Herald. }


There is something more than usually
strange in the want OF oversight on the
part Of the directors Of the First National
Bank Of New York, which opened the
way for the just reported defslcation
there. With the many examples we
have had of similar looseness, this in
stance is yet amazing. Here was a man
in charge Of a department. in which he
was reported to by nearly forty clerks
and more left to himself In it than were
those who headed other departments of
the bank apparently. With all this heavy
responsibility, he received but $500
salary. This in itself was so inadequate
to the position Jas TO have invited. close
scrutiny, bat in addition it Is disclosed
that this officer was living at q rate per
year of which his salary was but a baga-
telle, "pIunging' at Saratoga, and spend
Ing $500 a. day there IN the season. It
appears to have been known, and the
manner Of accounting for it adds to the
astounding features of the case. Tt was
that he was enabled to do this from his
speeulatiOns in the @stOok markell Here
is Gaping the. climax, indeed

The device known as the grandfather
clause, by which most Of the Southern
states have saved the suffrage to the
Ignorant white voter while taking 1t
away from the black, is yet to be tested
as to its constitutionalisy before the Su-
preme Court, 1t seems to be the opinion
Of most lawyers that the court will de-
eide that it is unconstitutional, and this
opinion Is shared by Ssntor TiIlman, who
bluntly says that he has no doubt that It
is unconstitutional With this clause
out the ignorant white as well as the
ignorant black vote would be disfTan-
chised. II both races were treated alike
nobody could iud any fault with the
educational qualification set up at the
South. A similar qualification has been
set up IN the North. The iniquity ofsit
at present is that it is so c0ntriyed as
to apply only to the blacks.

tltude Of a Bryan administration, should

A HUMAN LIFE.

A ship that throbs along in dire dis
tress
Till lost in oceans of forgetfulness.
A tangle of sweet flowers, whose pet
ais turn
To ash of unfulfllment in an Urn.
A wisp of tangled threads, whose
parted ends
No deft hands join, no endless effort
mends.
A play whose tickle players merely
And go and leave the story incom-
plete.
A bud that opens brilliant at the
dawn,
Filings sweet perfume a moment and
is gone.
A breath between a cradle and a bier
The blending of smile, sob, a tear
A book whose pages turn with each
new day
Till Time has read the tale and cast
away.
A mask worn till a passing play is
done
To cloak a wrath and hide a skeleton
A tie, whose ghostIy semblance is con-
cealed
Till in a shroud its untruth lies re.
vealed.
A thing that shapes the sod for a briet
day
And dies and leaves its faithful slave
mere clay.
A story that is told ere It's begun,
a song that only whispers and is done
a thing that chains the lightning;
and that stirs
The deep-the elements its mes

NATURE AND THE BROKEN
HEART.

Not the pleasantest part of the
Hinksey days work was the walk to
and fro with the Master across the
Oxford vale. 1t was in these walks
that, taking one by the arm, he would
speak seriously of his hopes and of
his aims; and yet there was a great
sadness about him. It was noticed
that he still wore the black tie in
place of the blue one, that was in
memory Of ''the dearest earth that
was ever returned to earth, his
mother; and a heavy domestic sorrow
was at the same time hanging upon
him, so much so that nature had
seemed almost TO have lost power OF
charm for his soul I remember say
ing to him, as we walked down the
beautiful Longwalk at Christ Church,
how full Of wonder that living arcade
of elm-tree boughs was, and he re-
piled sadly, my dear Rawnsley," with

GAS IN ELECTRIC STATIONS.

Producer gas, like the other vari-
cites, has a capacity to do work. not
because of the free energy in it. but
only on combustion. Gas may, thera-
fore, be stored for an indenfite period
with no material 9oss Of energy, and
used either slowly or rapidly. as de-
sired 1t follows at once that the
capacity of gas producers for an cleo
trio plant need correspond only to It's
average daily requirement, and is
much below the rate of gas consumD-
ton at times of maximum load. Gas
producers for an electric supply sta
ton may thus be operated regularly
at the most advantageous rate, and not
forced in and out of service to meet
the varying exigencies of public de-

Away With the Train.

What do you suppose has been in
vented to give our dresses a more sum-
merry aspect? Nothing less than to
cut off their tails. No more skirts
with trains is the last word of fashion.
You will doubtless ask wherein a
short skirt is more summary than a
long one and why a train should be
more in place amid the mud of winter
than in the dust Of summer. The idea
of cutting off our skirts is not intend
ed to accommodate our dress with the
temperature, says the New York Even
ing Telegram, but with the manner of
life during the season. These pretty
trains added to the grace of the out
line, and were the delight OF little wo-
men, as they are so much coveted by
little girls. You have doubtless re-
marked what an amusement it is to a
child to try on a dress with a long tail.
and with what interest she watches
the movements of the train which
drags along the ground after her
As soon as they become tall,
though not so tall as they would have
liked-many women keep their taste
for a train. It lends to their aspect
somewhat Of the majesty which they
would like to display. The air of ma
jesty is the very thing that is incom-
patible with walking, open-air gather
ings or life out of doors.
Cut your summer skirts shorter than
they were last year, thereto !; but do
not think Of arranging the winter
dresses that you mean to wear next
winter by shortening their skirts, for
1t is quite possible than trains will be
in again by the winter.
Nor must you suppose that there is
any question of return to the short
skirts, showing the ankle, which were
worn twenty years ago. Skirts will
always be long enough to touch the
ground in front and at the sides. only
they will be almost round, with only
about four or five centimetres on the
ground, even in the case of elegant
dresses, for a wedding or a garden
party.
