Andrew Carnegie has met with a
rebuff. He had offered the city Of
Newcastle, Pa, $4,000 for a public Ii
brary. The city council declined the
offer because of the attitude of the Ia
Dor organizations. They passed reso-
lutiOns declaring, in substance, that
the money offered represented ill-got-
ten gain, the accumulation Of injustice
and robbery, and even murder; that
there might be a semblance Of justice
IN establishing a fund for the widows
and orphans made in the Homestead
strike; that the working man does not
want charity but justice; that the offer
was an insult to the laboring man, etc.
This is a terrible arraignment, but
'''tis true, It's pitifuI, and pity tbs It's
true"

The concordat of the powers in the
Chinese question is not working very
smoothly. Excessive claims of indem-
nifty against China are being made, and
unless met by China the partition of

outcome. Russia seems to stand IN
the light Of a preferred creditor, and
the Juror of the other powers about
her occupation Of Manchuria does not
seem to disturb Muscovite serenity in
the least. A general war of the powers
over the matter is not improbable.

THE HERALOs OF SPRING.

The winds Of March are trumpeters,
They blow with might and main,
And herald TO the waiting earth
The Spring and all her train.
They harbinger the April showers,
With sunny smiles between,
That wake the blossoms In their beds,
And make the meadows green
The South viii send her spicy breath,
The brook In music flow,
The orchard don a blOOmy robe
OF Mays unmelting snow.
Then June will stretch her golden days,
Like harp-strings, bright and long,
And play rich accompaniment
To every wild birds song.
The fair midsummer time, apace,
She'll bring rs many boon,
And ripened fruits and yellow sheaves
Beneath the harvest moon.
The gOldenrod. a Grecian torch,
Will light the splendid scene,
When autumn comes In all the POmp
And glory of queen.
Her crimson sign shall fash and shine
On every wooded hill,
And Plenty's horn unto the brim
Her lavish bounty I'll.
