Putting in the Cribs

There seems to be a little diff
Guilty about putting in the cribs at
the Swan Falls dam, but the engi-
neers who have constructed the
dams there will "get there just the
same" although it takes a little
more time than was anticipated.
Possibly the fact Of their having
commenced this part of the work
on Sunday has something to dc
with the partial failure of theil
first efforts. The work seems tc
be just placing the cribs in the cur
rent of the stream.

Pensions for Department
Clerks.

There is about 250 clerks who
are past 10 years of age at Wash
ington. They draw full pay and do
but little or no work and it is pro-
posed to retire them on half pay
or something like that.
1t may be proper and right to
encourage people to be spendthrifts
by making it unnecessary for them
to take thought of the days when
they will need the money they
throw away, but we think different
ly about the matter. These people
have been paid better wages than
most of them would have earned
elsewhere and ought to have suf-
fcient to keep themselves.

One Cadet Was Not Hazed.

The congressional inquiry into the haz-

of the mass Of dry evidence as TO the
manner in which the national military
academy makes commanders out of raw
material sent in by congressional favor.
Here is the gem that repays one for read
ing the dreary column of stuff:
"Did you ever know man to go
through this academy without being
hazed?"

How did he escape hazing?"
He whipped every man who was pit

Foolish Man.

We are told that the following
appears in one of the latest novels.
"Gerald HARRISON painted heavi-

little apartment constrained his
splendid lungs. He went to the
window, opened it and threw out
his massive chest"
What reckless idiot! he might
have bursted the thing to pieces.
1t might be alright to throw light
articles out of the window and to
slide down the back stairs and lug
them off, but a massive chest, "
never.

An exchange suggests that the

that other lamentable fact that so
many people do not act exactly on
the square. 1t seems a little far
fe tched but then any theory that
will smoothe up the ragged edges
of this perplexing and aggravating
proposition, will serve a grand pur-
pose and soothe many a perturbed
mind. Give us any old theory
where there is no possibility OF
resting upon fact.-That is sci

The Great Nicaragua
Canal.

1t appears now to be almost a
certainty that there will be a spec
ial session of Congress; as the
Nicaragua canal proposition re-
quires attention; and every one
knows it is comparatively new bus
mess that could not have been at
tended to, as it has not been dis
cussed and before Congress for
longer than the last 80 years, in
any tangible form. OF course some
Of our wiser statesmen had discov-
cred 70 or hundred years ago
that the canal was a feasible thing
and that it ought to be constructed
and that by the people of this con-
tinent, who should have complete
control of it; but Congress cannot
and must not act hastily and spec
ial session might better be called
to discuss this proposition alone
and continuously for 80 or go years,
until not only a conclusion could
be reached but until bill could
be framed providing for the con-
struction of the ditch across the
isthmus. OF course it is an under
taking of great magnitude, but it
would seem that a Congress that
can appropriate hundreds of mill
ions of dollars without grimmace
could tackle proposition that en-
gineers claim will fall at the half
billion mark, especially since it is
evident that it will return, in the
course of time many times its cost,
to the people of the United States.
The present Congress will proba-
bly, make appropriations during
the two years amounting to over a
billion and half dollars and the
estimates run as high as two bill
ions; and it would not be a bold as
sertion to make, that one third of
this vast sum will go out to one To-
cality or another to placate mem
bers of Congress or prominent pol
C iticians, in the way of improve
c ments that are of but slight bene
c fit to the whole country.
There are millions appropriated a
C every session of Congress, thaf
c three out of every four of thos'
c who vote for them know are of M
! appreciabie benefit to the country
r. and if these were cut off for awhile
It the great canal might be built or !
= can be built without that, and will
be some day, when we get half
dozen statesmen in Congress, all a

never build it. 1t takes too mucl
of their time to manufacture polit

KNOWLEDGE.

For the Register.
All! when my mind conceives the vast
amount
OF knowledge tina there is for man to
learn,
How little do 1 feel that L ear know,
While |, to gain more wisdom, ever
yearn.
My mental littleness doth oft appal,
While looking round me at so much I'M
known,
And feeling l can never learn the half,
shown.
Gods mysteries are boundless and the
world
Is full of lessons that l ne'er shall know,
Each book requires a dictionary, too,
Some others knowledge, to my mind, to
show,
And make me feel how little 1 have
known,
How vast the fields of learning e'er will
be,
That l, with all my efforts to behold,
VIII never be permitted cen to see.
The limits of the min so soon appear,
While knowledge to be learned I'M
boundlesS seems.
How little we may claim though for our
own,
To know or even pass our mine in
dreams,
The world and all its mysteries are great,
And ones ability doth seem so small,
That when we think of all the great UNI
known.
Oh! how it doth, our human minds ap-
pail.

A SONG OF LIES WAY.

Here is an old poem, which has its
beauty, going the ounds again:
rs it so, o Christ, in heaven, that the
highest suffer most.
That the strongest wander farthest, and
more hopelessly are lost,
That the mark of rank in nature Is ca
pacity for pain,
That the anguish of the singer makes the
sweetness Of the strain?
rs 1t so, o Christ In heaven, that which
ever way we go,
Walls of darkness must surround us,
things we would but cannot know?
That the infinite must bound us like a
temple veil unrent,
While the finite ever wearies so that none
attain contents?
us 1t so, o Christ in heaven, that the
fullneSS yet to come
Is so glorious and so perfect that to know
would strike us dumb?
That if only for a moment we could
pierce beyond the sky,
With these poor, dim eyes of mortals
We would just see God and die?"

A New York contemporary a~nxiously
inquiries as to what is the proper meas
ure for damages in a case of breach of
promise of marriage, and takes as the
excuse for the question the case of a
couple on Long Island, where the court
ship lasted for twenty-five years, end
Ing in the graceful retirement of the
persistent lover, with the result that
the once fair maiden fixes her claim at
$4,000, which is a little less than 81, 900
per annum.
She ought not to have it. Any wo-
man who will be satisfied to have a
man "foolin' around" for a quarter of a
century in the alleged endeavor to make
up his mind to have the ceremony per-
formed, is certainly entitled to her ex-
perience, and nothing more. The woman
who can't bring a lover to time" with
in a few years of a generation ought to
set herself down asa failure as a sweet
heart and retire to a freside corner and
knit stockings for the remainder of her
days, for she has certainly wasted her
opportunities. After a reasonable ex-
periencewith one man-say about twelve
or fourteen years-she might have dis
missed him al too slow for human life
since the days of Methuselah, and have
given some slight encouragement to an
other. We are afraid that by his time
the ancient maiden will never obtain a
verdict at the hands of a jury.
