All sweet sounds together;

One thing yet there is, that none,
Hearing ere its chimes he done.
Knows not well the sweetest one

When Summers just Ahead.


How can the day he dreary,
How can the heart be sad,
How can the soul he weary
When all the winds re-glad-
When every bud Is leaplng.
Triumphant. from It's bed,
When March is spent and sleeping,
And summers just ahead?
There's joy among the flowers,
There's glee upon the hills;
There's laughter In the showers
That swell the leaping rills;
There's gladness in the hedges,
Where happy songsters wed,
Exchanging loving pledges,
With summer just ahead.
There's joy in every cluster
OF reeds upon the slope;
Each morning lends new luster
Unto the shield of hope!
Why should heart beat sadly,
An eye look out with dread,
When all the woods ring gladly
And summers just aheadg

Those editors who have been SO
quick to applaud the conviction of
Roland B. Molineux of New York
for the murder of Mrs. Adams by
the mailing of a package of bromide
settler containing cyanide of mer-
curry to Harry Cornish, who gave a
dose of the bromide to Mrs. Adams,
did not closely follow the trial. Mol
ineux's conviction was brought
about solely upon expert evidence
the evidence of gang of hand writ
ing experts from all over the coun-
try, who. If Molineux could have
purchased their evidence first,
would have offered as strong evil
dence for him as they did against
him, for which they received the
money of the State. Such evidence
is positively outrageous, when a
conviction is based upon it, and
while Molineux may be guilty no II
men should ever return verdict of
conviction on such purchased evil
cence. Better that 10 guilty men
escape than one innocent man hang,
and we firmly believe that the
appellate or Supreme court of New
York will order new trial in the
case as soon as they can review the
evidence, on account of this very
fimsy testimony.

President Mckinley is right in
demanding that Porto Rico be
placed upon the same footing as the
other territories of the United
States, and it is to his credit that he
insists that the sugar and tobacco

Charles E. Macrum, late United
consul at Pretoria, has at last opened
his organs of speech, and he charg-
es that the British censor at Dur
ban, Natal, South Africa, was con-
tinually opening his mail, and after
inspecting it, passed it up to him at
Pretoria, and that John Hay, secre-
tary of state, paid no attention to
his protests, but on the other hand,
ordered Macrum to secure informa-
ton for the benefit of the English.
Hays son has since been sent to
Pretoria as United States consul.
If Macrum' S statements are true
the people of the United States are
entitled to know the reason why
the English government has thus
held up our consul S mail. In case
they are not the nepotism displayed
by John Hay in having his own son
sent to Pretoria, ought to be suffi-
eient ground for Hays removal
from the cabinet. One Hay in the
service is all that the United States
cares to read about.

MONKEYED BY JOHN BULL.

The administration can do but one
thing in connection with the Hay
Pauncefotc Nicarauguan canal trea
ty, providing the administration
wants the unqualified endorsement
the of the people of this country in
November. That is to recall the
treaty, and at once amend it so that
the United States will have COM
plete control over the ditch, and
will be permitted to fortify in as
strongly as possible, and also to say
to an enemy in times of war, that
enemies will not be allowed to pass
through the canal and have the same
advantage as our ships.
The more one studies this treaty
the more one seems to think that
the diplomatic victory was an Eng
lish victory exclusively-a victory
for Pauncefote. The latter minister
could imagine himself gazing at the
Suez canal, fortified impregnably
against all enemies, and then mag
inc himself seeing the Nicarauguan
canal built with $500, 900, 900 of
United States money, without gun
at either end to say to an enemy
that her ship or ships cannot pass
that way to attack our Atlantic or
Pacific commerce.
England can fortify her ditch and
we are not permitted to fortify ours,
is what the treaty means. England
can keep our ships from passing
through the.Suez canal in times of
war. but we must allow England, in
case she is waging war upon us, to
pass her ships through the Nicarau-
guam canal and to attack our Allan
tic and Pacific coasts. without even
firing gun at them. We are to
furnish all the money to build the
canal, collect the customs, police it,
etc.. and yet, according to John
Hay, we must admit our enemies to
pass through it in times OF war.
Better no canal at all than a canal
on such conditions.
This canal treaty was an English
diplomatic victory exclusively when
Secretary Hay overstepped the
Monroe doctrine and asked foreign
power whether we could build a
canal through American soil, and
the only thing for President Nc
Kinley to do, providing he wishes
to solidify his administration with
the American people, is to recall
that treaty, and after passing up
John Hay, attend to the making of a
new treaty himself, and if a treaty
is not made order Congress to go
ahead with the appropriation for
the canal and commence work on
the ditch without asking the per-
mission of foreign power.

YOUNG MEMS HOPES.

While in New York with the Witham
excursion Mr.. Asa q. Gambler of Atlanta
had word to say in the New York
Commercial on the encouragement of
young men to occupy positions of infiu-
ence in the communities where they are
born. He contended that a young man
who is bank cashier in small town in
Georgia is superior to young man who
goes to New York to be lost in the mad
swirl of business matters and business
life, and that a young man has more ad-
vantages if encouraged among his own
people than he has when compelled to
seek his fortune elsewhere. Th1si is true
indeed if the young man only is en-
couraged. But unfortunately, in too
many instances, the young man is in
position of prophet among his own
people. Too often those nearest him
are so accustomed to seeing him
around that they fail to realize that he
may be possessed of more than average
ability, and, consequently, he is given
no opportunity to exert that ability
unless he goes to another community
and makes the opportunity for himself.
There are Southern towns which have
stopped growing simply because their
young men have not been encouraged
to stay at home. They have gone
abroad by the hundreds. and have sue
ceeded. Their energies have been
spent in building up other towns and
cities where man stands for what is in
him, no matter who his parents may
have been. To be sure, the migration
from home has not been due in all
cases to lack of appreciation. Too
often it is the outcome of the restless
ness born of imperfect education and
the vain desire to participate in the
mad swirl in the hope of accommodating
a fortune rapidly. Compared with the
successes in the wild race for fortune,
the failures are beyond enumeration.
The safe plan is for home folks and
home capital to encourage home talent
where it exists, and for home talent to
be content with the appreciation OF
ones own fellows, rather than to seek
purely material gains in communities
where the guiding principle is a brutal
expression of the theory of the survival
of the fttest.

THE GERMAN VOTE. "

Various newspapers are amusing
themselves by collecting or inventing
opinions and statistics as to how the
German Americans will vote next Nov
ember. Probably the German-Amerl-
cans are heartily sick of this. Each
one of them can tell how he and GER
tain of his friends will vote; and he
can tell no more. The German-Ameri-
cans viii vote as they please, and they
are divided as other Americans are in
their political opinions. You might as
well talk about the blue-eyed vote or
black haired vote as about the German
American vote. There as German
American voters, some of them in
in this party, some in that. Nobody
controls them but themselves. No
body is authorized to speak for them.
Nobody can lead them by the nose.

NOT PASSED BY.

A Georgia editor asks why has Porto
Rico been passed by and imperialism
objected to only in the Philippines.
Porto Rico has not been passed by.
The unexpected treatment of the Porto
Ricans, placing them as foreigners, I"
when everybody expected the island to
be honored as territory, with free
trade with the United States. has been
a theme for editors, orators, statesmen
and the pulpit.
Every school boy now knows it was
not passed by, but the wrongs perpe-
trated so aired as to be familiar to all.
1t was in the declarations in regard
to government of Porto Rico that the
policy of governing the islands outside
of the constitution was first developed.
The protest was loud, even the repub-
lican papers cr1tic1sing Mckinley for
change Of mind as to "our plain duty"
But people are more in arms as to
the Philippine policy because the
islands are not contiguous territory,
not in this hemisphere, and because
holding them as subject colonies en-
tangles us with European affairs and
demands the big standing army and
adds miIitarism to our policy, and
forces us to be part Empire and part
Republic.
1t is presumed IN time Porto Rico
will be a territory, proper, and event
ually state. But this is impossible
in the Philippines; they ought never
be incorporated into our system. Then
TO hold them is to govern them under
imperial rules as subjects, as mon
arches govern subject colonies. By
declaring policy of peace and home
rule it is thought we can gain all we
need by treaty. And thus it is the
Philippine question overshadows at
present. during the campaign, the pol
10y of mistreatment of Porto Rico.
