The Quarrel an Old One.

The circumstances which probably
contributed most to the antagonism be-
tween them was the fact that the late
Senator Sawyer, who had always stood
sponsor for Spooner in Wisconsin poll
tics, endeavorad to retain Lafollette as
counsel in what is known as the State
treasury cases.
These were suits brought under L
Democratic administrator to recover in
terest on State funds deposited in banks
either owned by or friendly to Mr.
Sawyer. As the cases were tc be tried
before Judge Siebecker. brother-in >
law of Lafollctte. the latter resented
Sawyer's proposition as an attempt TO
Tribe him.
Neither Sawyer nor Spooner nor their
friends from tnat day forward forgave
Lafollette for the Interpretation which
he made OF Sawyer's offer. 1t is entire
ly hopeless to bridge the chasm between
Spooner and Lafolle''- and the quarrel
is likely to continue for years to come
to make Wisconsin politics distinctly
warm and interesting

Favors Panama Route.

He regards the passage of the 18th
milan canal bill as one Of the great ac-
complishments of the session that has
just ended. He is a firm advocate of the
Panama route in preference to Mic
aragua.
when the Panama route was pro-
posed" he said. the Senate was sub
jected to much criticism. as 1t was
charged that it was taken up in order
to prevent the passage of a canal bill
during the session. But We went right
ahead, in the face of this The 18TH
mian Canal Commission had recon-
mended the Panama route, so we passed
the bill. The canal will be built as soon
as treaty can be negotiated with the
republic of Colombia and ratified by
Congress. / think in time the canal will
become self-supporting. and 1t has been
arranged so that the cost of construc-
tion will not fall now as a burden on
the people, as bonds for Its payment are
to be issued"

Visit From President.

President Roosevelt. Senator Fair
banks says, will visit indianapolis dur
ing the Western trip If he can make ar
rangements. Il went with the commit
tee to extend an invitation to him TO at
tend the meeting of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war veterans in indianapolis" said
he. THE President assured us he Will
be present If possible. but he has not de-
termined finally whether or not he can
come. | think. however, he will be in
Indianapolis on his Western trip. Sen
ator Hanna has been invited to make a
few speeches in indianapolis this cam
paign, and he will come If possible"
Regarding the Beveridge- Bailey epi~
sode in the Senate, Senator Fairbanks
says Senator Bailey was entirely to
blame. There is no more talk In Wash
ington about the incident, and he does
not take stock in the reports that Sena-
tor Bailey intends TO continue the trou-
Bile.

The Philippine Bill.

The Senator is gratified over the pas
sage of the Philippine government bill;
also the bill providing for the irriga-
tion of Western lands. He does not
think that the Democrats have made
any political capital out of the Philip
pine bill debate. Their attacks on the
army In the Philippines" he said, fell
on duh ears. They failed entirely to
galvanize 1t into an issue. The work
of pacihcation is proceeding rapidly and
satisfactorily in the Philippines, and the
bill will give the people there civil gov
ernment."
Senator Fairbanks thinks that a great
amount OF important work was accom-
plishod by the past session. No Con-
gress. since the one during which We
declared war against Spain, he says, has
had SO much important work to con-
slider

Southern Trade Leader.

Capt John II. Montgomery, OF Spar
tanburg. S. c.. who is a guest OF the
Raleigh. is one Of the foremost men in
the manufacturing belt of the South.
When he returned from the war between
the States he settled on a small farm
which he operated until he went into
the mercantile business. over twenty
years ago he undertook, with small cap
ital, the erection of a cotton mill at
Pacolet. He secured the large part Of
the capital stock from a New England
capitalist, who believed that there was
wealth in the water power in the upper
part OF the State. Pacoet is now the
second largest mill in the State and the
pattern for many others.
Captain Montgomery is president of
the Pacolct mills, capital nearly s., ,O00,-
600; Spartan mills, 100000. and is
director in many other mill corpora
tions. He is one of the principal men in
million dollar mill in Georgia, OF
which his son is the president. He is
also prominent in educational and re-
ligious circles. He was at the head of
the plan TO use negro labor in the cot
ton mills. being the builder of the Vesta
mill at Charleston. Negro labor in the
mills proved a rank failure in Charles
ton. and is not being tried anywhere
else.
The mill presidents of the State OF
South Carolina have been watching with
some anxiety the agitation for the en-
actment Of a child labor law Captain
Montgomery expressed the belief that
the people in the primary election held
Tuesday of this week registered disap-
proval of the proposed law and that the
next Legislature Will not interfere
Child labor is delicate question and the
mill owners have discouraged il as far as
possible. Schools are maintained for the
children of the villagers. but there are
many cases where the labor OF small
members of the family is necessary to
the family support.

Ras MakonReR in d Convent

The Lazarists, whom Ras Makonnen
visited at their central convent in the
Rue de Sevres, have twelve establish
ments in Harrar and one at Alitena,
says the Paris correspondent OF the
London News" They date from the
early days of the seventeenth century.
when St. Vincent de Paul founded the
order for missionary work, and lived
among the young men that he educated
to evangelize the barbarous and savage
parts OF the world. chiefly in Africa. The
first central house. in the Faubourg st.
Denis. is now a house of detention for
female prisoners, but is soon to be pulled
down. The actual central house In the
Rue de Sevres has not any characteristic
feature viewed from the street, but the
facade hides wide cloister, at the end
OF which chapel stands.
Just now the house contains over 200
novices, who entered at ages ranging
from seventeen to nineteen, and leave
at the end of six years residence to go
on missions. They were all drawn out
in the cloister when. two minutes after
the time appointed for his visit. the car
riage of the Ras entered it. The superior,
Father Fiat. received him. and had on
his staff Monsignor Crouzet. former
vicar apostolical to Abyssinia. and Mon
signor Coulbaux. superior of the mission
TO Abyssinia (whom l interviewed the
day the Ras arrived in Paris). and three
old Lazarist fathers bowed with age,
who had spent the best years of their
lives in Ethiopian missions. With them
were Monsignor Lesne. apostolical dele
gate to Persia: Monsignor Charmetant.
whose voice rang through Europe six
years ago in trying to awaken its con
science against the Sultan, whose hands
then were red with Armenian blood.
The Ras was able to converse with the
higher members of the community and
with several novices in his own lam
guage. He showed deep reverence for
the statue of Vincent de Paul and relics
of him preserved in the chapel; in
quired into the nature of the studies, and
impressed on professors and superiors
the necessity of givn" the novices a
training that would enable them to act
not only as evangeliss. but as pioneers
of civilization. Abyssinia wants vine
dressers. agrie eulturists and gardeners.

Colonel Livingston in the lobby of the
Ebbitt last evening, but in order to do
so every Democrat In the country must
get out and hustle. II won't pay to be
overconfident and take everything for
granted. II we do we are going to get
left. The President is strengthening the
Democratic party's position every speech
he makes. When Congress was in ses-
sion we called attention to the trust
question ard gave the Republicans every
opportunity TO legislate. And when we
opposed antitrust amendments TO the
Cuban tariff bill the Republicans voted
against them. Now the President is
saying something ought to be done to
control the trusts. AS l say, we will

While the preliminary report of the Director of
the Mint the production of gold in this country in
1901 shows decrease of about $504,000 as compared
with the yield in 1900, the causes are so plain that
there need be fear that the United States is about
to reinquish its proud position at the head of the
gold producing nations.
In Arizona which in the last few years has forged
to the front the possssor of rich gold mines there
falling off of about 100000 in 1901 and this
may be traced directly to several serious fires and
litigation among mine owners.
The noticeable decrease in Alaska exceeding mil
lion and quarter due to litigation and late
mining Alaskas mineral deposits are as yet
practically untouched.
Colorado produced greater tonnage than in 1900,
but the grade was deficient.
On the other hand, California, Nevada, South Da-
kota, Idaho and Oregon made appreciabe gains. l
have doubt that when the returns for 1902 are col
ected the figures will approximate the very satisfac-
tory ones of 1900.
The mining industry in the Southwest is enjoying
unparalleled prosperity these days. The hunt for
gold has attracted millions of Eastern capital, and
millions will be invested in the coming year.

Building year or two ago.

the Archduchess Marie. and came with
a personal letter of introduction from
her highness TO the Austrian minister
and Baroness Hengelmuiler.
Al one OF the exhibitions at the Cos
mos Club prominent otIicial of the Eng
!ish agricultural bureau. who was travel
ing in this cora,ry. was so impressed by
her realistic work that he called on the
artist and offered her permanent. well
paying position in his department. where
she would have only to paint fruit from
real models
Miss Komlosey recognized the compli-
ment, but in her piquant foreign way
told him that she could not be happy IL
she were compelled 10 copy fruit all her
life.
But you devote your time exclusively
to flowers" reminded the official.
"Ah. yes; but flowers are-fowers Do
not you see the difference"
And the official reluctantly left the
Austrian with the assertion that she
was the most realistic painter he had
eve> seen.
The influence of the archduchess did
not bring commissions enough TO war

went home. where she divides her time

THE MEETING
AT THE BARS.
By W. S. SNYDER.

Low sinks the sun. the robin trills
In ecstasy his vesper song;
With gold are tipped the sheltering hills.
The vale is wrapped in shadows long;
In pasture sweet the gentle herd
Lies down to Illuminating rest;
With shriller pipe the joyous bird
Speeds t'ward the still resplendent
West.
When twilight comes with noiseless feet
The dying day to softly fold.
Adown the lane. whose fragrance sweet
Is scattered far o'er wood and void,
A maiden walks as one who's led
By fancy with her thoughts at play.
Then stops and lifts her dainty head.
And hears a love-note far away.
She smiles, and budding up her lips
Beyond her shoulder steals a look,
Then lightly as a zephyr skips
Across the bosom OF the brook.
The mimic of the warning notes
Comes in clear and mellow strain
That DER the wood and meadow floats,
And gives their rapture back again.
The whistle waits; the mimic winds
Beyond the vale and round the hills,
Until it kindly shelter finds
Within the bosom that it thrills;
With quickening step and heart elate.
An eager youth moves on again;
The blushing maid, with steps that wait,
Comes slowly down the locust lane.
The twilight deepens now her folds,
And shyly peep the twinkling stars,
While now q wee white hand he holds
Within his own across the bars;
How wondrous now unto her ears,
Like echoes in the tinted shells,
Is that sweet story which she hears,
And he in the old fashion tells.
From pure white plumes the locust trees
To twilight give their sweet perfume,
But with lovers eyes he sees
Naught but lovelier, fairer bloom;
One truelove kiss across the bars.
One trustful glance from eyes that
love,
Then mutely fall two radiant stars,
While twinkle all the stars above.
