down the appropriation by some 5000.
announced that the committees expert
had not informed the members that
the receipts from this wharf were go
ing 10 the government, and the adverse
report was made on the supDosition
that Hackfeld & Co. were in receipt
of the cash from the wharfage. He
therefore moved that the item pass as
| in the bill. He showed that the re-
ceipts Of the wharf since August last
from this wharf were over 81 800 or
about 215 per cent on the cost price
while the Legislature will repay Hack
field G. Co. at the rate of six per cent
for the money advanced. He praised
the public spiritedness of HackfeId &
Co, saying that the firm was even now
paying salaries of certain officials who
were assisting the Board of Health in
keeping the city in a sanitary condi-
tion.'
Chillingworth seconded vida's posi-
tion and Fernanez withdrew his motion
to strike out the item and said that he
would support the item as he believed
the claim a legitimate one Kaniho
urged an investigation by special COM
mittee.
BECKLEY WANTS TO KNOW.
Speaker BeckIey took UP the fight
saying that he thought there was
something shady in the matter alIeg-
ing that Cotton Bros. had the inside
track. He called attention also to the
fact that Cotton Bros. now owes the
government for the old dredger lost at
Pearl Harbor. He began to scatter
bit after this referring to the fact that
officials must be taught to not usurp
legislative functions; saying the six per
cent interest to be charged was in
great contrast to the revenues; that
while it was easy to get Sos, 900 for a
wharf it was mot possible to keep
pumps going for water for the city;
that while he wanted the government
to pay ali bills there should be inves-
tigation by committee. He asked for
all vouchers which was ordered and
after Vida had agreed that the pro-
cedure was irregular. but that the
amount was necessary to meet 1egiti-
mate bills, the item was deferred so
that there might be some further facts
discovered to the House
The committee rose and the House
took a recess.
FIGHT FOR EXPENSES.

the Senate announced the passage of
the measure for the expenses OF the

the extra session to $4,000. Harris

The Saloon In New York and Vermont

Publishers OF The HERALD:
The saloons in New York and YER
mont are the same in both principle and
practice. 1t is as impossible for the
saloon to exert an influence for good to
the community, as for the leopard to
change its spots. The saloon at its very
best is demoralzing to both proprietor
and customer, and is menace to the
social cleanliness and political honesty
of any town, state or nation. The
saloon is curse to New York, also Yer
mont.

such an apparent expectation as to war

Mrs. Vim. [. smith Hastings, aged
years and months.
Dearest mother thou hast left us
For a brighter, fairer shore,
Never more on earth well meet thee,
Hear thy loving voice no more.
Though our home is sad without thee
We would not wish thee back again.
For thou art singing with the angels
Free from sorrow and from pain.
Thou hast suffered greatly, mother,
Yet with patience thou didst bear
All the trials God did send thee,
And now in heaven a crown will wear.
We shall miss thee darling mother,
When we see your vacant chair,
But we know that thou art happy,

From desk and dreary drll-.-, |

Deep in some dell delightful DIS r,s5a-,

To wander through its wlaJ.ass On, i
breathe its bracing air.
Beside a merry maiden, mal1ap. min,

But cunning as a kitten, as clever Or
and cute.
Has city celebrations, with blars s,i
bands and banners,
Beat out by forty furlougs and ssys1l
miles to boot
Around you the aroma Of field and aagg
and furrow,
Above the sylvan songsters make swss
the summer skies,
Far in the friendly fastness with c,7
content you burrow,
Pursuing paths primeval your day 4
pleasure flies;
Where wild flowers wave a welcome
glad and gracious greeting,
Which seem to say, Sweet s.gGor s.l
merry maiden stay;
Camp down upon the carpet and hear Oh
rude hearts beating,
Thus near to nature nestle and spend YOU
holiday"
So where the shade is softest cool s2s
is selected
In which you spoon in silence viii.
happy moments pass
Safe from all prying peppers and no sin
is erected
By horrid park policemen which reads
Keep OF the Grass
And in this place propitious as natures
guest reposing,
You feel an inspiration you do not care
to check.
But just as you are pausiug from .A
point of proposing
A wiggling worm works forward All
wanders down your neck.
Meanwhile a saucy spider has given te
girl Mysteries.
And so your little seance is broken right
in two;
You couldn't coax your courage with torg
kinds of derricks
Back to the point Of sticking where i
would see you through.
Lunch baskets ana Sucn luggage !vi

And say, Come, charming Clara, lei;
duck for goodness sakes
] For that man eating spider has set you in
a furry;
Who knows but in this hollow are h1g'
and horrid snakes
With this unhappy ending winds up you
summer outing;
Ill bred, insistent insects break up YOU
tete-a-tete.
So sadly to the car line you ploi On
piqued and pouting,
Resolved from all such places to keel
a mile away.
To loll in listless languor beneath til
limbs gigantic
A pleasure pure and pulling to any mai

Combating crawling creepers is not quit
J so romantic;
But, oh, if they were bugless, the weed
would be dream!

Tammany has surprised the nation by
the evidence of its power over the mass
es of the people In New York. Almost
every moral influence, church and educa-
tional and philanthropic, strove for its
overthrow, hut the damnable influence
OF the Tenderloin, reeking with corrup-
ton, and the saloon, have won a great
victory, and caused setback to the
municipalreform movement throughout
the whole country. We all know,
whether we admit it or not, that the

York is the saloon, that force which has
now gained a victory over morality aud
a hundred needed reforms. Low was
defeated by the saloon. Tammany aud
the saloon are practically one.
