Mir Clark said: T think this will be an extremely busy session. The main thing tine republicans will do will be to ratify the HayPauncefote treaty and pass a Nicaragua canal bill. in accordance with it. and to pass Mark Hanna's ship-subsidy bill. If the supreme court decides the Porto Rican act unconstitutional, then the re publicans will run races with us as to which will drop the Philippines first. But if it is to be decided constitutions al. then this session of congress will have to pass some kind of q bill for the government and control of the is lands This. with the routine meas ures and. the new apportionment under the last census. will make it an eX- ceedingly busy session.

FIERY
ATHER GU RIlN S
 CHARGE.

The Rev Father Curtin of Waterbury has a mighty poor opinion of the con necticut county commissioner system in general and of the New Haven coun- ty commissioners in particular lie said so and much more, in the sermon which he preached from the pulpit of his church Sunday. Father Curt ms parish. whose area is chiefly res.den- tial. is infested with grog-shops. OW- ing to the priest $ aggressive campaign of remOnstrance the licenses of several liuuor dealers in his parish. against whom ha protested. weren't renewed last year. Farther Curtin didn't like ii because the entire batch of protest ed applica tions for licenses wasn't re- jected.
 On Sunday Father Curtin took occa- si1n to resume expression of hls dis satisfaction with the admnis istration of the liquor license business over in his county He thinks that in general the practice of having the control or the saloons, the county jails and the coun- ty homes vested in the same oihclal board is a grim piece of irony Through the saloon. whose license the commissioners control. they introduce the voter to their county jail. and later receive his children into their county nome. 4 condition of things which operates that way strikes the reverend crusader as ridiculous. The county commissioner system in Con necticut undoubtedly has some first class weaknesses-an at them Father Curtin lets drive. Concerning the jus tfce of his cudgeling of the commits sionerS in his county we aren't suifi- ciently acquainted with tine. facts to pass an opinion that iS at once jul
 sLt. 1Ntr r. ! n general terms we think that in the matter of the personal equation the county commissioners of the state as a whole have greatly improved during the past ten years. Confidently We venture this opinion. though some there probably be who would trot out a challenge-Hartfor Post.

GALVESTON.

When yet America was young
Was seen thy fair form gently rise
Out of the waves which softly sun
or tropic isles and tropic skies;
And fair that face and glad and sweet
And white as the white sands thy feet.
With all thy shining locks uncurled,
with brow like marble smooth and white,
With arms outreachlng to the world.
You stood in beauty. brave. upright.
Facing the tropics winds and waves
That laughed and Knocked at nameless
graves.
Thy head erect. thy cheeks aname.
Thine eyes as bright as white seas ARE
After the hurricane madly came;
And the sums light had lit the bar
After the winds and waves had gone
And left the summer It's brightest dawn.
Thy fair cheeks bloom, thy sweet lips
smile
Across the oceans boundless hue.
Went shining out DER mile on mile
with ever welcome brave and true:
While strong in limb We saw thee set,
White feet in sand as yet storm-wet.
The sea gods loved you from tho frst;
They saw your bosom round and fair,
The storm kings looked with lips athirat
And sighed 10 kiss thy shining hair.
They wooed and whispered and caressod.
and sought to hold thee breast to breast
They wooed in siren song, and wooed
Like demons not to be denied;
And then. enraged like beasts pursued.
And raved and rallied on every side;
And set flerce fangs in limbs that shine,
And drank thy blood as men drink wine.
oh, maid of our great summer sea,
Oh. maid OF all the storm kings lust!
The Nations Heart goes out to thee
In great, unwavering, manly trust
Let death and ruin all go by;
Hold, hold. thy fair face to the sky.
Nathless thy garments have been rent.
Natbless thine eyes some tears have shed.
Nathless thy heart to mad waves lent.
Some OF its warm blood flushing red.
Yet shalt fair hands stretch TO fair landi
And thy White feet press down the sands
Beloved of wind. beloved OF WAYS.
Thy dead beneath each sheltering hand
Stretched out to save from nameless grave
Who sleep within tho drifting sand!
Still art thou Queen OF all the South
And glad dreams kiss thee In the mouth.
Nor shall one furrow mark thy brow,
or yet line trace either cheek,
Or one one teardrop in thine eyes now
One word of falling courage speak.
For you shall smile as you have smiled.
Yet beautiful and undetiled.
And wind and wave will see thee stand
with bounteous bosom virgin sweet;
Wind and wild wave shall kiss thy hant
And bow in prayer at thy feet;
Wind and wild wave each bring q gem
To grace thy glorious diadem.

MAILING A MAGAZINE.

Eighteen men, aided by the fastest
mailing appliances, are kept on rush
getting The ladies Home Journal off
to is subscribers. The first shipments
are started about the middle OF the
month, and from that time until the
twenty. fifth the magazines pour out of
the Journals publishing Office by the
two horse dray load. On the twenty
fifth of each month every Journal has
reached its destination, and work in
the mailing department slackens for a
few days. Some idea. OF the tremendous
size of the Journals subscription list
may be gained when it is known that
forty tons OF mailing type are reqn.ned
to set up the names of the subscribers.
There are threequarters of ton OF
each numerul, aud it requires twenty
thousa d galleys to accommodate the
subscribers names in type. This stock
would equip six or eight large daily
newspapers. AS many as slxty-five
compositors are employed setting the
names OF the Journals subscribers in
type-printers enough to set type for
the biggest metropolitan daily news
paper. The expenses for postage paid
by the Journal approximate $75, 900 a
