One time she was so very shy
She used TO hide her head and CRY
When I came by;
Away she few 10 mothers arm
In widest fear. In swift alarm,
AS though from some impending harm.
She heard me climb the stairs; away
She fed. nor near me would she stay;
She said me nay
When, coaXing, 1 would move my chair
Nearer my little lady fair
And try to stroke her curling hair.
She puckered up her little face
In many a touch me not grimace.
And all the grace
That had so charmed me quickly fed
As does the light when day Is sped
She ran and hid her tiny head
All me what changes time has wrought

And 10 her brought.

Brunswick and Birmingham.

The Brunswick and Birmingham rail-
road has been completed and is in OPP
GRAFTON to Nichols, a distance of
eighty-four miles. The Atlantic and
BIRMINGHAM railroad extends from
Waycross to Montezuma, distance Of
139 miles. Nichols is station on the
way, twenty-nine miles out from Way
cross. The two railroads are to be
consolidated in less than month, thus
forming a direct line westward from
Brunswick to Montezuma, distance
of 1874 miles, every mile of which dis
lance lies in a direct line between
Brunswick and Birmingham.
Montezuma is an important station
in the peach-growing district OF Geor-
gia, lying directly south of Macon, and
forty-nine miles from it. 1t is twenty
two miles north of Americas. 1t is fif-
teen miles from Fort Valley, where the
Birmingham branch of the Central rail-
road of Georgia meets the other lines
of that system.
Montezuma is 70 miles from Column
bus, and Columbus is 1877 miles from
Birmingham. The new line is in posi-
ton to build either to Columbus or else
to cross the Chattahoochie at some
point south of Columbus and continu-
| ing then to Birmingham south OF the
Central Railroad of Georgia, passing
through a section not well-equipped
with railroad facilities. It's plans for
construction west of Montezuma are
not well developed, but road that has
194 miles of trunk line built will assur-
edly push on to Birmingham. AS Chair
man Hyde recently said, the consolida-
ton of the Atlantic and Birmingham
and the Brunswick and Birmingham
practically assures the completion of
the line as originally planned between
Birmingham and the sea. The Bruins
wick line may in fact be built into

Instructinq Senators.

When a vote is taken on the canal
treaty today the folly of instructing
senators will become apparent. The
instructions will not be a bit potential,
for the democrats will divide about
evenly, and the treaty will be ratified.
The power of legislatures to instruct
senators is strictly theoretical. There
is no immediate way to enforce instruc-
tions and the instructed senator may
desire to discuss the issue raised be-
fore the people. A senator is elected
to serve six years, and his own party
may lose control of his state legisla-
ture In that length of time Instruc-
tions from party opponents would sim
ply be ignored, and instructions from
ones own party is good deal of a
farce. The instructed senator is apt
to do what ne prefers to do his theory
being that he was elected to use his
own judgment for period of six years.
A legislature usually "instructs" its
senators and requests its representa-
tives to do so and so. There is no rea-
son for any discrimination, the right
to act in either case being exactly
alike--being exactly nil. The entire
instruction idea is falacy resting on
some old precedents with no power
to enforce itself, and it should be
squelched, as something alike useless
and foolish The vote today will but
prove what has been shown all along,
namely, that congressional action over
particular measure cannot be die
tated by legislatures. When a state
selects representative he is free un-
der our complex system of government
to do his own will, knowing of course
that he must meet the people later on,
and settle the issue. This settlement
may come to alter the measure in
question, but it will not come too late
to determine the political fate of the
representative who casts an obnoxious
vote

Newspaper Enterprise in Baltimore.

All of the Baltimore daily news
papers were burned out, but to Presi-
dent Charles H. Grasty of the Evening
News alone stands the credit of assem-
bling, installing and making ready for
regular use in two weeks a new equip
ment equal to the task of printing 49,
900 copies an hour This was done by
buying the equipment of the Philadel-
phia Times, and by turning a disused
and roomy foundry into a great print
ing house-all within fourteen days
after the destruction of its former
establishment in the great fire. The
Evening News of yesterday was issued
from its new home, and the Evening
News has agreed to share its new home
with the American, a morning paper,
until both can build permanent homes.
Mr.. Grasty is a type of New Balti-
more, and such men as he will soon
build a business quarter that will far
outshine the one the fire fed upon. Few
will, however, be able to install an in.
dustrial establishment of equal magni.
tude in a fortnight's time, as Mr.
Grasty has done. He set up in that
short time three quadruple perfectine
presses, twenty-one linotype machines
besides all the sterotyping, photo
engraving and other outfit needed in a
great newspaper.
Mr.. Grasty's achievement should be
widely told, so that none will hereafter
despair of quick recovery from an over.
whelming disaster 1t is said that Mr.
Grasty bought the outfit of the Phila
delphia Times while the fire was still
burning, and before it was under con.
troll men were engaged in getting II
ready for shipment to Baltimore. Mr.
Grassy has won victory greater than
some of war that are celebrated both
in song and story.

Losses In the Baltimore Fire.

The customary period of estimates
from Baltimores great fire has expired,
and approximate statements are COM
ing in that undo all of the estimates.
The buildings destroyed were assessed
for taxation purposes at between
twenty and twenty-five million dollars,
and real estate in Baltimore is assessed
at three-fourths Of its value. The
stocks of goods consumed were as
sessed at between fifty and fifty-five
million dollars. Putting these assess
ments together, it is seen that the
total loss was just about $4,000 900.
Upon the burned property gross
Insurance was carried amounting to
32,S64,S94. Out of this sum is to be
deducted the salvage, or in other
words, the steel frames and other ma
terials left behind by the fire. The
salvage is estimated at s1,579, 762. thus
leaving the net insurance at $31 1885,
1872, and the net loss to the owners at
just about $54,O0O,000. Figures closer
to the actual loss will not soon be pro-
durable, and they are at any rate as
near the truth as the public will desire.
Between 2400 and $500 buildings
were destroyed, and the average
assessed value of each building was
not quite ten thousand dollars, but
assessments for taxation purposes are
never up to real value, and the chances
are that the average value of the build
ings burned was nearer twenty than
ten thousand dollars.

canal cannot be dug this summer, ex-
cept by the spellbinders.
The effect of/the tie-up in France
viii be felt by the banks and in the
exchange markets. The banks holding
government deposits were ordered to
get ready to pay over 20 per cent Of
the government money they hold, but
this will not be necessary if the
French company cannot receive that
money by reason Of It's inability to
turn over it's rights in the republic of
Panama.
The muddle seems endless, even
leaving out consideration the proposed
settlement with Colombia. President
elect Reyes of Colombia has gone to
Paris, and no doubt he is looking after
the interests of his country at that
end of the line.
The selection of the Panama route
at the dictation of New York inanciers
and hackers is leading on from one
trouble to another, and in the end
this country will have to settle with
Colombia or be delayed beyond pa
thence in the digging of the canal. The
entire business Is in a muddled state,
and the attorney of the French COM
pany has been compelled to notify the
administration that the payment of
the $4,000, 900 cannot at present be
made It is willing, but the French
courts are blocking the way to an end
ing of the complex transaction.
