THE WANDERRR.


------ 3,
Upon the mountain height. far from the sea,
found shell;
And to my listening ear the lonely thing
Ever song of the ocean seemed to sing,
Ever a tale of ocean seemed to tell.
How came the shell upon that mountain
height?
All, who can saw?
Whether there dropped by some too care
less hand,
Or whether there cast when ocean swept the
land. -
Ere the Eternal had ordained the day.
Strange, was it not Far from its native
deep.
One song 1t sang tI.
Sang Of the awful mysteries of the tide,
Sang of the misty sea. profound and wide.
Ever with echoes of the ocean rang.
And as the shell upon the mountain height
Sings of the sea, 10 -
So do ever, leagues and leagues away
so do ever, wandering where NAV!
sing; 0 my home; sing. o my hoInel of
thee ~ =

NO REST IN AMERICA.

Victor Smith In New York Press.
An experiences railroad man has the
following to say regarding English rail-
way methods: ut is singular, to saw
the least, that the English railway
managers have 1ust discovered that
American locomotives consume more
goal. use more oil and require more re-
Pairs than those of their home make
III this is fact, it could have been
demonstrated In trial lasting a month.
Over here we would not accent an
English locomotive ne gift. 1t would
be regarded as an antiquated mon
strosity. l fear the British are be-
ginning to feel trifie sore over
Americas commercial invasion of all
the markets Of the world, and the Mid
land railway people are trying to knock
US on our locomotives. "
Continuing, the official said: "The
chairman of the Midland made one
impressive statement, namely: I'VE
tend our engines carefully, rest
them, clean them, and do every
thing to make them last. In this
country we rest nothing, not even
ourselves. Bishop Cumberland's
familiar saying, 1t IL better to wear
out than to rust out, has taken hold
of us, body, soul and breaches.
The Englishman rests his hats, shoes,
trousers, ooats, horses carriages, and
whatever else he may own, animate or
inanimate. A few advanced Americans
have recently adopted the practice of
freeing their shoes for rest and the
result is longer wear without losing
shape. Some of our locomotives are
never allowed to cool from one years
end to another. Little wonder they do
not live to be olassed among the an.
tiques.' -

Should be Chosen BY Direct Vote.

1t IS Tar more important that the
men who will be nominated for the
next legislature he honest through
and through than that they be
pledged for the election or re-elec-
ton Of any candidate for the United
States senate. We hear about pros
pective nominees chiefly in connec-
ton with the United States senator
ship. The candidates come out at
the suggestion Of boss rather than
at the request OF the voters. The
fight for the legislature should be
made on state issues rather than
national. There are great questions
which concern Indiana alone, but
so long as United States senators
are elected by the general assembly
state issues will be subordinated
most Of the time.
United States senators should be
elected by direct vote Of the people.
This course would relieve the legis-
lature Of much corruption. There
would be fewer political deals, and
more time and inclination would be
lett to legislate on purely state
questions. A member of the legis-
lature would not then trade vote
for United States senator for fed
eral appointment. The Indiana
legislature needs, above all, honest
men. The test in picking out men
Tor nominees should be honesty and
ability, and not Willingness to be
the tool of any candidate for United
States senator. Ind Sun.
