THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS

By Longfellow. There is a Reaper, whose name is
 Death,
 And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breath And the flowers that grow between. Shall havc naught that is fair?' saith
 he;
 Have naught but the bearded grain? Though the breath Of those flowers is
 sweet to me.
 I will give them all back again." He gazed at the flowers with fearful
 eyes,
 He kissed their dropping leaves; It was for the Lord of Paradise He bound them in his sheaves. My Lord has need of these fowerets
 gay'
 The Reaper said. and smiled; Dear tokens of the earth are they, Where He was once child "They shall all bloom in the fields
 light,
 Transplanted by my care, And saints, upon their garments white, These sacred blossoms wear" And the mother gave, in tears and pain. The flowers she most did love; She knew she should find them all again In the fields of light above. Oh, not in cruelty. not in wrath, The Reaper came that day; Twas an angel visited the green earth, And took the foaczs away

AS TO PRESIDENTIAL DIGNITY.

From the New York World.
 Of course there are persons who think President Roosevelt's demeanor at the football game in Philadelphia was most undignified."
 It was rather startling, even to the spectators who were not residents of that staid city, to see the President of the United States leap the division fence and join the ''rooters'' for the game between the army and navy boys-yelling his ap- proval of Daly's great work just as though he were college boy again. The Philadelphia Times calls 1t ''the emo- tional impulse of the lover of true sport" and says:
 Long after scores have been forgotten the figure of Roosevelt, the President of the greatest nation on earth, standing and cheering and halloing buster and 'smasher,' will be familiar thing to the generations that are to be-
 But again the question Is raised, must President be always dignifled, and what is true dignity? If it is stiffness of bear ing, coldness of demeanor an owl-lilSe solemnity of visage, it Is to be feared that Theodore Roosevelt will, upon oc- casions which seem to him proper. be lacking in this sort of spectacular dig nity. Riding a horse at wild gallop, or striding off on long walk through pub lie thoroughfares in a loose jacket and a soft hat, hardly comport even with our democratic ideas of Presidential dig nity. The people have come to associat e their chief magistrate with dress-parade clothes and manners. MT. Roosevelt, with his abounding vitality and his still un- surpassed enthusiasm, would doubtless ask: Am I not a man and a brother ? Is not official dignity one thing and in dividual naturalness another? Fortunately the dictionary enables us to hold that dignity is. first of all. ''nobleness or elevation of mind, true honor." and in this sense no one has complained that President Roosevelt is deficient

Justice Browns Law.

The remarkable Justice Brown who wrote the opinion in the Porto Rico case, turned the scale in the Philip pine case, and the Supreme Court has decided that the Philippines are as much a part of the country as Ala. bama, and yet discriminating tariff may be applied in those islands. The constitution provides that all duties imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States, but Jus. tice Brown and four others of the court held that while the Philippines are part of the country yet they are not a part when it comes to tariff making. In short, they hold that they are colonies. This great court thus bends again to administration policy, as it did in the greenback case.
 As things stand the tariff that robs Alabama will rob the Philippines, but Congress may build a special tariff for the Philippines, but it cannot do like wise for Alabama. In other words, the Philippines are part of this country until Republican tariff policy blocks the way, and then they are not The law is made for the Republican party--is construed to fit it's needs, or rather, it's campaign contributors. and that is the long and short of it.
 The remarkable Justice Brown can turn a corner quicker and easier than any one else, as his opinion in the Porto Rico case of last spring showed, and he reappears in his old role. If Congress and the people sustain such law as he lays down, they should for decency's sake repeal the clause in the constitution which calls for uni form duties throughout the United States.

Trying on the Nerves.

"The most trying sensation on the nerves are those brought on by having to wait for things. And of all waitings, the waiting for late trains is the worst" said travelling man."
 'But of all times when a man and a woman are most likely to be thrown into fit is when waiting for a train when they start on their first wedding journey I saw an example of this at the union passenger station this afternoon. 4 we'll groomed man and handsomely-dr dressed woman, blushing as all brides blush, ac- companied by two couple with brides roses and white dresses. walked into the passenger station just five minutes be- fore the regular time for the New Or leans train to leave Birmingham. They were happy-laughing and swapping ad- vice, until suddenly some one asked about the train. The reply was that it was an hour and a half late.
 .'Then a nervousness began to manifest itself. On inquiry learned that the couple lived in a suburb and could not wait at their home to inquire about the time of the trains leaving So they tried to make the best of the situation. But as the time passed the nervousness first manifested increased and multiplied until the condition -f each member of the

such guesses by estimating the crop at 9,674,OJJ bales.
 The estimates of the Department are no longer made on the basis of the yield of lint per acre. Various sources of information are now utilized, and the estimates are now received with confidence. They have of late been approximately correct. The Depart ment's estimate in December, 1899, was 9,50O,OOo bales. and the out turn was 9,436,0O0 bales. Last year it's De cember estimate called for 10,100,000 bales, and the years figures footed 10,SSS,000 bales. The Department s estimate is Q million bales below the average guess of eight cotton ex- changes, and the belief among the peo- pie is that it IS very nearly correct.
 The Age-Heraid has all along ad- yised the farmers to hold their cotton at eight cents as a minimum price, and those who took it's advice will, it is plain, have no reason to regret it. Those Sou,nern mills who did not stock up will now have to pay higher nrieas

Reducing Southern Representation.


 Messrs. Dick of Ohio and Moody of Massachusetts are trying to steal MT. Crumpacker's thunder in the matter of reducing Southern representation. Each and all have hurled in resolutions looking to an investigation. MT. Dicks resolution refers to acts 'in certain States" but MT. Moody is content to investigate acts in Louisiana alone MT. Dick desires the committee or election of a President, Vice President and Congress to take hold of the mat ter, while MT. Moody prefers to have special. committee of eleven to sit on the acts of Louisiana.
 MT. Crumpacker has not presented his old plan for reappointing repre- sentation in the South. He is desirous of ascertaining the attitude of Presi- dent Roosevelt towards this measure. He hopes that the President will at least be neutral, and he does not pro- pose to fire off his ancient wad until he hears how the White House regards it. Mir Moody is friend of the new administration, but he is evidently acting individually and not in behalf of the administration.
 The chances are that the entire scheme will end in smoke and talk. It Is excellent material for Northern stumps, but a very difficult and en- tangling problem in other respects, for Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and other States have engaged in the business of abridging the ballot,
 The Moody resolution, directed against Louisiana, aims to ascertain: CD Whether the right of voters in the exercise of the elective franchise is abridged by the constitution and laws of the State; In other words, if the fourteenth amendment of the consti tuition has been violated under the form of the law; CD whether, if there has been such abridgement, the Con. gressmen chosen from the State are entitled to membership in the House; (3) whether in either event it is ex. pedient to enforce the constitution which provides for reduction of rep resentation in consequence of such violations.

AeuINALDo AT CLOSE RANGE.

Sydney Adamson, in LeSlie's Weekly.
 This house, which is Aguinaldos prison, has nothing about 1t to suggest captivity, only the guards at the gate and the or derly sitting in the hall below. But might they not be guards of honor for aught the careless world knows and the resi- dent a commissioner or an American gen, eral? From the windows the eye reaches across the river far beyond the hills where the sun rises, and one feels that with large rooms and with ones wife and children the world might go very well here. The prisoner is permitted to go out in his carriage accompanied by an American officer, and he is also permit ted-one might almost say condemned to receive callers. He is considered a to be in the swim has seen Aguinaldo had heard so many gushing individuals describe him as "a perfect stick that 1 was delighted to have chance of dis covering the reason.
 I was intensely int crested in the man. Often as have swung along with the col umns in pursuit of his troops in the old days before the Chinese outbreak and when there was bigger fighting in the islands, I have wondered about his per- sonality and peered continually into the faces of passing natives, looking for one that would resemble the well-known pno- tographs. Then to hear every one say: He is only an ordinary Filipino; there is nothing in the man." was rather disap- pointing. But when I met and watched him I was satisfied. He is not an ordi- nary Filipino. No ordinary man could have done, or would have attempted to do. what he has done. There is that in his face which, to eyes that can see, be- trays the difference. The cold selr-pos- session covers strong force that works within; the under lip is thrust a little forward, habit of some men when fac ing many obstacles that have to be over come. His strange, low voice, half gentle, half constrained, is unlike the voice of any other man that I have ever heard. The face Is not that boyish countenance of tho ordinary photographs. It is the face of a man who has suffered intensely mot bodily, perhaps, so much, but men- tally.

Minority Leadership.

The Democrats have this winter capable and experienced leaders in Congress. MT. Richardson of Tennes- see is the Democratic leader in the House, and MT. Jones of Arkansas leads the Democrats of the Senate. Both are minority leaders, but even minorities are sometimes useful and efficient if well lead.
 Both of these leaders warmly sup ported MT. Bryan. but both are on good terms with all the Democrats in Congress, and both favor the lowest possible revenue tariff, and the tariff is plainly the great issue of this Con- gross. Both are ready debaters, and set speeches especially of the anti quated, dress-parade sort are not to the liking of either. But when any one tackles either of them reply will be at once forthcoming that will afford an opponent all the mental exercise he will be apt to banker for. Both are good parliamentarians, and both will be heard from frequently during the present session.
 Mir. Underwood is again the whip of the Democratic side, a place second only to the leadership. He will be dropped from the committee on ways and means. being the junior member The Republicans say they must have one more member on the important committees, and this necessitates the dropping of MT. Underwood But he has been made a member of the con- mittee on rules. In case the next House is Democratic MT. Richardson would become speaker, and MT. Un- derwood would become the ranking member of the committee on rules, a place that all members are anxious to hold. This alone would make Mir. Underwood very influential member of the House, especially when he is also the whip of the Democratic side.
 Another honor has also come to the member from this district. When the Democratic caucus met it appointed special committee to which all reso- lutions were referred, and this com nittee is to report to caucus to be held January Iv. The entire general policy of the Democratic side is in the hands of this committee. MT. Richardson is chairman of this com- mittee and MT. Underwood is a mem- Der of it.

Her debut i: announced for the second of January. The entertainment to be given in her honor is not yet decided upon, but 1t will inaugurate a series of festivities that will make the White House gayer than it has been any time since Mrs. Sartoris reigned as belle there
 It Is no misnomer to call the cabinet the Presidents official family. Its mem bers are most intimately associated, the President and his wife frequent their homes, they aie constantly entertained at the White House, and the women of the cabinet, who are the real leaders of official society. invariably assist the wife of the President at all public func- tions. Mrs. Roosevelt. naturally, has precedence over all others, the wives of the ambassadors ranking next; tho mem- bers of the cabinet follow according to the age of their different portfolios. This gives to the wife of the premier an important position. She takes prece- dence of her associates. is appealed to in matters involving etiquette and policy, and constantly. called upon to settle dis puted points. Of the annual dinners given by the members of ,.ie cabinet in honor of the President. the initial one takes place at the home of the Secretary of State. whose wife, as rule. sets the dates for cabinet receptions, decides what calls shall be returned in person, and while in no sense an autocrat she is to the women of the cabinet what her husband is to bis, colleagues-the ac-
