The sun is setting and the toiler halts.
Across the burrows Swallowed by the rays
That f1ecks the field in. lines of FURNISHED
gold,
The smoke from out his cottage chimney
curls
In lazy clouds and fades away in air.
His hand drops from the plow; he waits
And let's the cool breath of the twilight
blow
Across his face moment as he stands
Foot deep in stubble, but that moment
turned;
Then, starting off his horses to their hay,
Smiles and moves on to meet his welcome
home.
And what a wealth of welcome! From the
door
Two little ones, blue-eyed and faxen-
haired,
Leap out toward him, shouting all the
Within, the boarded kitchen walls throw
back
kindly glow and in the CLEAN, he sees
The table with the simple supper spread,
And then the wife, lighting the evening
lamp.
After the meal a happy hour goes by
With babies prattling gayly on his knees;
Later TO rest, peaceful. dreamless sleep,
Until the rising sun proclaims the day.
The pomp of kings the pride of place, and
all
The cursed madding race for wealth and
power,
What mean they 10 this man? Himself a
king,
Content to humly earn his daily bread,
To watch the glow of health on child
hoods cheek,
To note the love light In a mothers eye.
Year in year out. to pillow his plot of
earth,
No centuries of silence need he wait
To make reply TO God, but daily thanks
His Maker for his manhood and his bread
His place in life's grim struggles fixed and
sure.
Away in those far cities whose fierce hum
Dies to a feeble murmur in the fields,
The spirits of unrest in human shape
Fit through the caverns of despair and
woe,
Frail leaves upon lifes swollen, sullen
stream.
No will for honest labor and no hand
To help them to the pathway that they
crave;
Drifting In aimless eddies here and there,
Seeking in vain a glimpse of Fortunes
smile,
Making a false ambition take the place
OF love and hope, and so they live and die.

POSTAL FRAUDS AND POLITICS.


The Republican leaders are reported to
be very much concerned about the effect
that the Cuban postal frauds viii likely
have upon the presidential election. They
have reason to be concerned about it. The
people are already asking cwo very per
tinent questions. One is whether 1t would
be wise 10 entrust the control Of the
government 10 the Republican party for
another term in view of che discoveries
of corrupt practices among officials OF
that party. Another is whether it would
not be a great mistake to hold the Philip
pines as a permanent possession after
such an exhibition of corruption and ex-
travagance in administering the civil af-
fairs of our insular possessions as that in
Cuba.
There are reasons for thinking that the
whole story of fraud and extravaganza
in Cuba has not yet been told. 1t was
not until some time after the Nicely
frauds were discovered that the fact
came out that there had been inexcusab,e
extravaganza in the use of public funds
in other directions. The Ettle six-mile
military railroad, that should have cost
about $4,000 or $4,000. cost upward Of
$500, CO., 1t is said that under the head of
miscellaneous expenses many thousands
of dollars have been spent which have
not yet been satisfactorily accounted for.
There will be very thorough investi-
cation by either the House or the Senate
of the expenditures in Cuba. The Repub-
!can party does not dare to object to IT,
nj ba eli -
what it is believed by many to be, the
Democrats will discover some excellent
campaign material. Il would not be sur
prising If they should discover enough 10
satisfy the majority of the people that
this country is not yet prepared to under
take the government of colonies. The
method of making appointments to Office
in our insular possessions-that is. the
making of appointments on the recon-
mehdations Of politicians-is certain to be
productive of big crop of scandals. The
politicians are endeavoring TO defend the
spoils system by pointing to the fact that
one of the parties implicated in the Gu
ban postal frauds is a civil service ap-
pointee, but the fact that one of the guilty
parties was not appointed at the solicita-
ton of politician proves nothing He
was only one among many, and doubt
less was only a tool of some influential
official.
When the people fully appreciate how
great the corruption that viii be
developed among the officials of our in
sular possessions is likely to be,
and that the corruption among
these officials viii have a bad in
fuence on home officials, it Is not improb-
able that a pretty big majority of them
will come to the conclusion that it is
better for the country to let the Filipinos
manage their own affairs. In that event
the Republican party's policy of holding
the Philippines as a permanent possession
will not be given a trial

THE PORT ROYAL STATION.

1t is thought to be doubtful that the
amendment 70 the naval appropriation
bill authorizing the Secretary Of the Navy
to inquire into the advisabflfty of moving
the naval station and dock from Port
Royal to Charleston will receive the APP
prevail of Congress. AS a matter of fact
there is no reason, as far as we are able
to see. why Charleston is to be preferred
to Port Royal as a site for naval dock.
1t may be true that at some time in the
future Charleston will have sufficient wa
ter on her bar to accommodate such big
battleships as the Indiana, but 1t will be
admitted, no doubt, by everybody, that she
has not sufficient water now, and it will
probably be admitted also that the ques-
ton of ever getting 1t is by no means set
tied.
Port Royal has water sufficient to float
a big battleship, and the Indiana has
been in the government dock there. She
was handled in a very satisfactory man
ner. 1t may be that the dock is some
what out of repair. and that there were
some mistakes made in the building of It,
but there is an appropria ton for repairs
and the mistakes cal be remedied. We can
understand, of course, why naval officers
do not look on Port Royal with favor.
Social life there is rather bare, owing to
the smallness of the place but 1t is a
rather difficult matter to find location
for a station 10 which some objection
cannot be made. The naval officers would
probably find more attractions at Charles
ton, but as already pointed out they might
not find some other things which it is i'm
peratively necessary that a naval station
shall have.
But, as we have already stated. the time
has not yet arrived for considering the
advantages OF the different ports for the
naval station. We are keeping in touch
with this controversy between Charleston
and Port Royal respecting the station
mainly because we hope, If the station is
to be taken from Port Royal, to have an
opportunity to show that Savannah is the
place for it.
