were swept aside when the Senate made itself superior to the State Department in the matter of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty. It follows, then, that other innovations may be looked for since the entering wedge has been driven. The next one will prob- ably be the choice of Lodge for the chair manship of the committee on foreign rea- tions. Cullen is in line before Lodge for. this prize, but the Massachusetts states man will probably be chosen. If he is it will mean that another nail has been driven to clinch the power and influence Roosevelt will undoubtedly endeavor to wield. From that time on innovations may be expected to occur with much rap idity each one tending to make the Vice President a factor and to entirely revolu- tionize the antecedent custcms of the of flee. And those who are familiar with Roosevelt's fighting qualities do not ex- pect anything else than that a complete victory will be won by himself and his friends When that is achieved the Vice Presidency will be as strenuous an office as is the speakership today, and will make a fit stepping stone to the presidency, which is the grand prize on which "Ted- dys" ambitions are centered.

MIR HARLAN SHOULD DECLINE.

From the Springfield Republican.
 If the President will not withdraw the nomination, young Mr. Harlan should now decline to permit the use of his name. There are dangerous possibilities of deplorable scandal and of immense bitterness in the present situation if it be permitted to con- tinue. It already evident that MT. Har- lan's nomination cannot pass through the Senate without it's peculiar relation to the Supreme Court being considered. There has been much talk in late years about attack ing the Supreme Court" and the question can easily be asked, who is attacking it now? There is yet time for the President to relieve himself and the court of all sus- picion in the popular mind, for it cannot be believed that he has brought about this state of affairs with deliberation.

"ARChlEu BUTTS JOB.

Capt Archibald W. Butt A. Q. M U. g. ", who used to flourish as plain Archie Butt when he was a Washington corre- spondent, and as one of the most congenial fellows in the Journalistic corps has degen- erated into an expert on mule fodder, says the Washington Post. In the old days, be- fore everybody rejoiced at his good fortune in securing military commission that, to the regret of everybody, took him out to the Philippines. Archie was very literary. He prided himself on well-written articles, and occasionally broke into the standard pride did he relate to friends and acquaint ances his achievements with appreciative editors of these magazines.
 Now, alas, read some of the exhibits" in General MacArthur's annual report, which have filtered through the various of fic.J channels and finally reached the leg islative authorities at the capitol. Regard ing inquiry as to the suitability of the punky process" writes Captain Butt, from "office land transportation" at Manila, in discussing the proper feed for mules and ponies "I have the honor to state that the punky bale possesses marked advantages over others in that it does not absorb dampness nor dirt, and seems to stand the wear and tear of the damp climate better than any other process of baling. The ani- mals however, do not seem to eat it with the same relish as the hay baled in the old method.
 T would further state that this office ceased ito purchase tique- -tique, miel pad dy, or grass, and is thus feeding only oats and hay. This office has still some paddy on hand, which will soon be ex- hausted." :"

TEDDYS SCHEME.

Washington Correspondence Baltimore
 American.
 It has just developed here that those who are expecting Theodore Roosevelt to fol- low the usual course marked out for a Vice-President are likely to be much mis- taken.
 It is generally conceded that tee man who can reform the Senate introduce mod ern methods and bring it down to a strict ly business basis will have demonstrated his fitness for the presidency as to make his nom.nacicn certain. That there are many men in the Senate who would well come such an upheaval is not now doubt full. All they need is leader round whom they can rally. All senatorial traditions

A Garden of Society.

Senator Pettus has very kindly sent me a 'bundance O garden seeds, and may be can raise some early truck this spring. meditatively and somewhat inter- rogatatively observed Farmer Charles Wes- ley Ferguson, the States prosecuting at torney for the Tenth judicial circuit of Ala bama.
 ''I canont imagine why the distinguished Senator should have chosen me from his hundred thousand farmer friends in Ala bama and conferred upon me the unique position of receiver of select seeds albeit I have long loved him and he has been good to me, and his son Frank and I were friends in childhoods happy hour, less than fifty glad years agone. But I have got the seed, and am much obliged to our beloved Senator
 Ere the spring assizes be in full blossom and me 1ud chief judge have the fever and turks of the springtime's radiant radiance, I shall be hieing away to my hoeing every morn at cock-crow, tending the vegetables which shall have sprung from the select seed the Senator sent. My earliest and largest specimens of the gardens greenery shall be sent by express charges collect, to the Senator's abode in Washington, and I promise you our Senator shall have the finest vegetables ever eaten since the adop- ton of the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution.
 Society has some interest in this gift of seed sent by the Senator, apart from the squashes and the cabbages, for Hon. Jehn Mcqueen and Col Eskine Ramsey have applied for the positions of hoemen in ordi- nary to my garden, and we have been graciously pleased to appoint them.''

FOOTSTEPS OF ANGELS.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow When the hours of day are numbered
 And the voices of the Night Wake the better soul that slumbered
 To holy, calm delight; Ere the evening lamps are lighted
 And, like phantoms, grim and tall, Shadows from the ftful firelight
 Dance upon the parlor wall; Then the forms of the departed
 Enter at the open door; The beloved, the true-hearted,
 Come to visit me once more. He, the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife, By the roadside fell and perished
 Weary with the march of life They, the holy ones and weakly,
 Who the cross of suffering bore. Folded their pale hands so meekly,
 Spake with us on earth no more And with them the Being Beauteous,
 Who unto my youth was given, More than all things else to love me, And is now a saint in heaven. With slow and noiseless footstep Comes that messenger divine. Takes the vacant chair beside me-
 Lays her gentle hand in mine. And she sits and gazes at me
 With those deep and tender eyes, Like the stars, so still and saintlike, Looking downward from the skies Uttered not, yet comprehended,
 Is the spirits voiceless prayer, Soft rebukes, in blessings ended
 Breathing from her lips of air  O, though oft depressed and lonely, All my fears are laid aside, If I but remember only,
 Such as these have lived and died!
