CURRENT COMMENT.

The Brooklyn Eagle Dem.) says: "In
Mr. Cleveland's second term he adhered
to correst principles, while the bulk of
his party went a-wandering after strange
gods. The party has subsisted on husks
in the wilderness ever since, and it's lat
est memory of the promised land, from
which it was self-expelled, comedies with
the eight years of Grover Cleveland in
the presidential chair He was a strong
and great President and he is a strong
and great man. He is to-day the most
interesting and, we think, the most IL
lustrious American, and his hold on his
tory, as a great President, as states
man of provision, patriot of resolution,
and a self-centered, self-poised and in
comparably intrepid character, is as Sc
cure and as certain as that of the ablest
and strongest man or men that in the
past acceded to the greatest office on
earth. He is stiE in the prime of life,
and II his party were as well off in re-
spect and esteem, and in the desert as
well as in the possession of both, as he
is, 1t could be as heartily congratulated
on its future as 1t can be heartily con-
graduated on its past-under and because
of him."
The Nashville American (Dem.) is an
expansionist. 1t says: 1.-The splendid
work that has been done in Havana dur
ing the past two years by representatives
of the United States would be no object
lesson to the Cubans If left to them
selves. They would soon lapse into the
! old ways. 1t will be an evil day for Ha-
vana when American authority and d.
rectioa ceases there. But it Is devoutly
to be hoped that 1t will never cease. The
Unlted States should have acquired
Cuba a century ago. Now that the ISL
and has fallen into its lap so to speak
II would be the hight OF folly TO let Il
go. We do not believe the United States
will do anything so foolish"

The world. Here Nature asserted her
lights to the full, and where Art play
ed a part. it was only to enhance tile
beauty of the wonderfully picturesque
scenery. There were pretty rustic
bridges over the narrow chasms; there
were artistic stairways built down the
steep sides of the cliffs, and innumer-
sble benches and chairs of fantastic
shapes were placed in delightfully."- cool

tupied, her disappointment was keen.
That particular seat ('our BENCH" they
had called it), was sacred to the mem

Today the young girls thoughts dwelt
lovingly upon them. She remembered
a thousand and one little Incidents;
trivial events, of nc importance at the
time, but now, delightful to look back
upon. The future without Hal Bur-
ton loomed up before her blankly. Her
syes filed with tears, and there was a
pain in her heart which she found it
impossible to assuage.
It was in vain that she tried to be-
come interested in the beauty of the
scene before her. Down at the foot of
The steep banks, she saw the boats
passing up and down the sluggish

the waters Of the Potomac eddied and
whirled increasingly, making a picture

HAY DEFINES POLICY.

Addresses n New York Banquet on
"Our Niplomncy."
Secretary of State John Hay was the
principal speaker ut the 1881 banquet of
the New York Cha6iber of Commerce
Tuesday night. He spoke to a company
Of prominent men, including Ambassador
Choate, Gov. Odell md Mayor-elect Seth
Low, his theme being "Our Diplomacy"
Secretary Hay filled the place of the late
President Mckinley, who several months
before his death promised to make an ad-
dress ut the banquet. The Secretary
paid an eloquent tribute to his dead chief.
Coming TO the theme of his speech,
Mr.. Hay said:
"There was a time when diplomacy

tcrs.
"1n my experience of diplomatic life,
which now covers more years than l like
to look back upon. and in the far greater
record of American diplomacy, which l
have read and studied, l can say with
out hesitation that we have generally

Secretary Hay referred hopefully to the
outlook for American trade in the Orient.
He continued:
I'VE consider our interests in the Pa
ciic ocean as great now as those of any
other power and destined to indefinite
development. We have opened our doors
to the people of Hawaii; we have accept
ed the responsibility of the Philippines
which Providence imposed upon us; We
have put an end to embarrassing condi-
tions in which we We're involved in Sa-
moa, and while abandoning none of our
commercial rights in the entire group we

ASTERS.

Walled in with fire ON either hand
l walk the lonely wood-road thro';
The naples fame above my head.
And spaces whence the wind has she'd
About my feet the living red,
Are filled with broken blue.
And crowding close along the way Z
The purple asters blossom free;
In full p%rofusion far and wide.
They fill the path on every side,
In loose confusion multiplied.
To endless harmony!
The autumn wood the astcr knows,
The empty nest, the wind that g%rieves
The sunlight breaking thro' the shade.
The squirrel chattering overhead,
The timid rabbits lighter tread
Among the rustling leaves.
And still beside the shadowy glen
She holds the color of the skies;
Along the purpling wayside steep
She hangs her fringes passing deep,
And meadows drowned in happy sleep
Are lit by starry eyes!

THE PHlLIPPlNE AeL
Its Laying the Most stupendous of
Modern Undertakings.

Its Laying the Most S~tupendous of
Modern Undertakings.
The most stupcndous undertaking OF
modern times, the laying of the new Pa
cific cable, will be undertaken before the
close of the present year, and within nine
months this country will be in telegraphic
communication with Honolulu and n year
later with Manila. 1t will approach a
globe-circling achievement, for it will be
the connecting link between the existing
lines that will place all parts of the
world in communication with each other.
distance to be traversed by the cable will
be G,912 miles. The completion of this
line will bring the aggregate telegraphic
system of the world up to a total of 1884,
$50 miles, all of which, with the excep-
ton of 1911 owned by various govern
ments, will be under the control of pri-
waite corporations.
The promoters of this gigantic under
taking are John w. Mackey and his as
sociatcs. Edward G. Platt, Albert Beck,
George G. Ward, Albert B. Chandler and
William w. Cook. These capitalists will
ask of Congress authority to construct
the line. 1t has not yet been definitely
determined whcthcr-or not a subsidy will
be asked; it is probable that only the CO.
operation of the government will be re-
quested, together with the detail Of a
naval officer to assist in the laying Of
the cable. Rear Admiral Bradford of
the bureau CO equipment, who has given
the enterprise much study, will probably
be the man selected for this duty, and
it could not devolvc upon a more compe-
tent man. Admiral Bradford estimates
that the total cost of the work will
amount to $1O,OO0,OOO.
In return for the concessions the gov
eminent will be requested to grant the
company, compensation will be given in
the form Of reduced rates on messages
and absolute control of the cable If it 10
deemed advisable in case of war.
