THE GOLDEN YEAR.
Tennyson.

I'VE sleep and wake and sleep, but all things
move:
The sun flies forward to his brother sun;
The ozark Earth follows, wheeled in her
ellipse,
And human things, returning on themselves,
Move onward, leading up the golden year.
"Ah! though the times when some new
thought can bud
Are but as poets seasons when they flower,
Yet oceans, daily gaining on the land,
Have ebb and flow conditioning their
march,
And slow and sure comes up the golden
year.
when wealth no more shall rest in
mounded heaps,
But, smit with freeI light, shall slowly melt
In many streams to fatten lower lands,
And light shall spread, and man be likel
man
Thro.eh al the seasons Of the golden year;
but we grow old. All! when shall all mems
good
Be each mans rule, and universal peace
Lie like a shaft of light across the land.
And like a lane of beams athwart the sea,
Through all the circle OF the golden year2',
Thus far he flowed, and ended; whereupor
"Ah! folly,n in mimic cadence answered
James
.Ah. folly, for 1t lies SO far away,
| Not in our time, nor in our childrens time
'fTis like the second world TO us that live;
'Twere all as one to fix our hopes on HEAVIER
As in this vision of the golden year."
| Then added, all in heat:
what stuff Is this
| Old writer's pushed the happy season back
The more fools they've forward; dreamer
both;
You most, that in an age, when every hour
Must sweat hsr sixty minutes ot the death,
Live on, God love US, ms If the scotsman
rapt
Upon the teeming harvest, should not plung
| His hand into the bag. But well know
| That unto him who works, and feels h
4 works,
| This same Grand year is ever at the doors.

TWO VIEWS OF THE SITUATION.
John C. Gray and Walter II. Hayes TAX
About the Delaware Campaign.

John G. Gray and Walter ii. Hayes Talk
About the Delaware Campaign.
To reporter of the Baltimore Sun,
Thursday, Mr.. John G. Gray Of this
city gave his view of the political situ-
alton in Delaware, as follows:
ut looks as If the Democrats would
send solid delegation from Delaware
to the Senate and House Of the next
Congress. The opposition is divided
and demoralized with two Congress
sional tickets, aud in some districts
with two legislative and county
tickets. There is no division or dis
5ension in our party. 1t was never bet.
ter organized, our registration is good
throughout the State, and, better than
all else, our party is at work with a
determination to win. 1t has been
many years since We have seen as much
harmony and vigor in the old organiza-
tion, and it ought to poll majority
for the State and county tickets in all
Of the counties. -
Mr.. Walter II. Hayes, member OF
the Union Republican party, gave his
opinion as follows;
II predict that Delaware will give al
least 4,090 plurality for the State Re
! publican ticket, with the exception oi
Congressman. As is we'll known, there
are two Republican candidates and ons
Democrat. This will necessarily divide
the Republican vote, if the differences
between the Republican factiona
candidates are not adjusted In the
event that they are, the Republican
candidate will also be elected. As tc
the Legislature, there will be from a
to 81 Republicans elected out of the 8:
members.
I'VE have stopped CHASING the candi
dates for the Legislature as Union Re
publicans or Regular Republicans.
believe that after the election botf
factions will go to Dover with thu
ayowed purpose OF agreeing upon th'
election of two Senators, and Mr.. Ad
dicks will undoubtedly be one of them
As to the other, at present | can only
speculate. The registration, which
closed Saturday, is entirely satisfactory
and we believe we can win. -

Washington, Oct. 23.-Ex- President
Grover Cleveland's letter to Tammany,
following closely upon an interview in
which be was quoted as urging the
party to activity in the present cam
paign as preliminary to a struggle for
tariff revision, excited most profound
interest among Democrats who have
been to the front Of the party during
the last few years.
1t cannot be truthfully said that Mr.,
Cleveland has enjoyed unlimited popu-
lsrity with tho party since his retire
ment from the White House, but the
wisdom of the expressions for which he
was quoted in the interview and the
importance of mis- Endorsement of the
Democratic ticket in New York are
acknowledged even by his enemies. II
is manifest that his voice is expected
to have influence upon the campaign,
not only in New York, hut in most Of
, the country.
Whether or not the credit for it is tc
be given Mr.. Cleveland, it is co
incidence that about the time he de
clared that tho party is face 10 face

TEACHING A DOG.

Sir John Lubbock.
Considering, indeed. that man and
the dog have lived together in more or
less intimate association for many
thousands of years, it must be con
fessed that they know comparatively
little of one another. have elsewhere
suggested that this arises very much
from the fact that we have tried to
teach animals rather than to learn
from them, to convey our ideas to
them rather than to devise any
Language or code of signals by means
of which they might communicate
their ideas to us. The former may be
more important from a utilitarlan
point of view, though even this is
questionable, but psychologically it is
far less interesting. Under these cir.
cumstances it occurred to me whether
some such system as that followed
with deaf mutes and especially by DR..
Howe and Laura Bridgman might not
prove very instructive if adapted to the
| case Of dogs.
/ have tried this in small way
with black poodle named ivan" I
| took two pieces of cardboard about 10
inches by 3, and on one of them printed
in large letters the word food, leaving
the other blank. / then placed the
two cards over two saucers and in the
one under the food card put little
bread and milk, which Van, after
having his attention called to the
card, was allowed to eat. This was
repeated over and over again until he
had had enough. In about 10 days he
began to distinguish between the two
cards. | then put them on the floor
and bade him bring them to me,
which he did readily enough. When he
brought the plain card | simply threw
1t back, while when he brought the
food card | gave him piece Of
bread, and in about month he haC
pretty we'll learned to realize tht
difference.
then had some cards printed with
the words 'out," .tea,'' 'bone, !
"Water,'' spelled Theoretically so al
not to trouble him by our intricat,
spelling, and certain number alst
with words 10 which | did not intent
him TO attach any significance, suct
as 'nought, plain, ball." &c
Van soon learned that bringing carr
vas request and soon learned to dis
tinguish the plain and printed cards
, 1t took him longer to realize the diff
ference between words, but he gradu
ally got to recognize several, such a
, food, tout, (" tbone,' tea &c
If he we're asked whether he woul
| like to go for walk he would joyful
i fish up the tout" card, choosing
from several others and bring it to m
or run with it in evident triumph t
the door. l need hardly say that tn
cards were not always put in the sam
: places. They were changed quite indis
oriminately and placed IN great vari
3 ETY. of positions. Nor could the do
, recognize them by scent.

Of a peculiar accident A few days ago
he was experimenting building
operation, in which he is interested, on
Third street near Broome, and while
walking along the edge of a bank,

bank gave way and allowed him to fall.
In going down he put out bis left hand
to catch himself and had his wrist
badly wrenohed.
At first it was feared the arm was
broken, but an examination showed
that the injury was not as serious as
that, and, barring that fact that Mr..
Healey cannot use the arm or hand for
the present, he suffers but little incon-
venience, as he is aole to go about and
look after his work as usual.

President Baer's official Statement.

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. "a In view
of the resumption OF mining of anthra-
cite coal the Philadelphia & Reading
Railroad Go. tonight issued the follow
ing statement:
The Philadelrhia & Reading Coal and
Iron Co., Presidents Office, Philadelphia,
October I'D 1902-Mr. G. Z. Henderson,
General Manager-Dear Sir: The reports of
the superintendents in charge of the lines
show that, as result of the strike, the
mines and mining plants have sustained
considerable injury, and their respective
working organizations have been impaired.
For some time TO come the collierieB cannot
be worked to produce their average quantity
of coal. This will increase the cost of pro-
duction. Estimates have been submitted
showing the probable increase in cost per
ton Mt the several groups of collieries. The
general average exceeds 50 cents per ton.
You will, therefore, add to the cirsClar
price 50 cents per ton-this additional price
to continue until the 1st of January, 1908.
by which time we hope to reach Il normal
condition of mining and production.
Notwithstanding the fact that during the
strike no coal was sold by our company at
all advance over the circular price, the price
has been unrenaonably advanced to the pub
| lie by some retail dealers. In the distribu.
tion of the coal, therefore you will, so far
as practices bic, supply the dealers who are
1 WILING 10 tei COai 10 tHe pubic tt feasOlN-
| Bile prices. Where dealers seek TO obtain
| an unfair profit from the public, you will
promptly take steps to supply the reasonable
demands of the public directly.
Yours truly,
Geo. 4. Baer, President.
In accordance with these instructions
circulars regarding trade prices have
been issued, taking effect October oath.

distribution OF coal, so that parties in
need may at lsast receive portion oi

for the present to restrict to immediate
requirements is the amount which will bt

Judge Gray for supreme Bench.

A dispatch from Washington says: at is
regarded as among the probabilities that
Judge George Gray, formerly Senator from
Delaware, will be appointed as the successor
of Judge Shiras on the Supreme Bench,
should the latter retire next January, as ii
il presumed he will. The argument is made
that Judge Gray is a Democrat and that,
consequently, he should not be appointed by
a Republican President. The answer has
been made that President Benjamin Harri-
son appointed former Senator Howell L.
Jackson Of Tennessee, Democrat, to the
Supreme Bench. and that President Roose-
yelt thinks politics should not be the CON
trolling reason tor the appointment of a
justice of that highest court. Judge Gray is
