MIR. SMITH OF SALT LAKE.

 Forty-two times he has run for the
 doctor, Forty-two times he's gone forth in the night, Nervously fastening on his suspenders, Hoping as never a bechelor might. Forty-two times he has wondered and
 waited. Pacing the floor with his head in a
 whirl; Forty-two times he has heard the an
 nouncenfent: 'Ir is a boy" or "It's only a girl" Forty-two times the grim nurse has
 denied him Rights that he proudly supposed were
 his own; Forty-two times he has harbored emo-
 tions Such as the childless man never has known. Forty-two times he has bounded up, hearing The first shrill cry of strange little
 guest; Forty-two times he has gone in the
 morning, Boosting and bragging and swelling
 his chest. Forty-two times he has paid for frail
 ribbons, Paid for soft laces and fluffy affairs. Paid for the bottles and what is put in
 Ghem; F'orry-two times he has shouldered
 new cares. Forty-two times he has heard the glad
 message: "Evarything's lovely--come in-it's all
 right Forty-two times he has gone for the

THE SONG THE ANGELS SING.

The songs the angels sing are heard within the feeling heart When selfishness is waning and all hate and sin depart;
 Men hear them in the silence breathe from out the breeding calm Sounding through the inner spirit like a penitential psalm,
 Saying, haste not, wait. oh wait Blessings come though love be late.
 Kindly deeds for aye pursuing: Glad good will each day renewing: Work the worth of life construing: Make man truly great. The songs break forth at morning in the worlds eternal bloom They live forever in the souls that laugh at human doom, They thrill with love mans search for him who made the mystic earth TO be the scene of constancy, of kind liness and mirth, Saying, hold, a gentle hand
 Blesses home in every landI
 See the rosebud's modest glory.
 Hear the harvest golden story,
 Let no life grow dull and hoary Make mans mission grandl The songs the angels sing are heard where sympathy awakes, Where truth makes fair the face of things as light as morning breaks When virtue in its own reward and sor- row brings its balm, And rare content surrounds the soul with sweet and holy calm,
 Saying, singing, Oh be glad!
 Grow not restless, weary, mad. Duty sounds like pealing thunder. Worship wakes to holy wonder. Love shall rend the veil asunder.
 Be thou never sadi Songs are these that murmur softly as the melodies in dreams When the rapt and radiant spirit grasps the star that eastward gleams. Songs that prompt each high endeavor guide each stcrificial hand. And translate earth's IowIy mortals tc heaven aspiring band
 Singing softly and sweet and low: In the end thy faith shall know!
 Help the needy, soothe the dying
 Give myself, on self-relying.
 Give myself, on self-relying, onward, upward, gol

The gratifying announcement Is made In
a news article printed today that the work
OF burying the high-power electric lighting
wires still overhead in this city will be
pressed rapidly. Immediate steps are to be
taken. 1t appears. to put underground the
wires now strung along 9th street between
Pennsylvania avenue and New York ave-

ward the ideal of conduit conduction or
electricity The wires on Ninth street have
been a serious menace to the property val
ues along that business thoroughfare for
many years and their early removal will
greatly lessen the fire dangers. The spirit
displayed by the corporation in this In
stance is calculated II pursued systemat-
ieally in works, to lead to an early relief OF
the entire city from these especially dam
gerous conductors, which are the chief
source of trouble whenever storms occur
with such severity as to cause breakages.

Break This Deadlock.

The Senate yesterday voted to displace
as the unfinished business the bill proyld-
ing for the selection of site for the pro-
posed triple department building. This
action, 1t is believed puts an end to the
prospect of legislation at this session
for the purpose of providing room for the
government departments now seriously
congested and demanding more space. AS
The Star stated the other day, there is
urgent need of action now, and post
ponement from session to session be-
cause of differences of opinions as to the
best sites cannot but add seriously to the
embarrassments of the public service. to
the difficulties attending the final selee-
ton of sites and to the cost as well.
There is no present prospect that the
complications which have thus far this
session prevented action on the Fair
banks bill will be lessened next year. The
objections to the taking of the square
west of Lafayette Park are personal and
will continue to the end of the contro-
versy. Next year any attempt to take
that piece of land. 1t is fairly certain.
will arouse the same degree of opposi-
ton. with perhaps the same result as at
this session, and so there is likelihood
that the process will continue from year
TO year. until one side or the other is
worn out and yields In short. owing to
peculiar conditions. this matter of a site
for the triple department building. in it's
present shape. is in a deadlock. the break
ing of which no man can foresee.
The rational course In the premises is
for the Senate to follow the line of least
resistance and greatest results. That
line leads straight to the immediate TAX
ing of the whole of the Mall-avenue tri-
angle for government building purposes
The sentiment I'm behalf of that project on
it's own merits is Enthusiastically strong at
least in the Senate. The sentiment in IA
vor of ID as a fighttng alternative to head
off the Lafayette Square site plan Is also
strong and has developed into an afiirma-
tive instead of negative factor. The
Senate has gone on record at this session
in favor of further utilizing the space
south of Pennsylvania avenue for public
buildings by adding to the postal appro-
priation bill an amendment providing for
the taking of the square south OF the
Post Office Department for a repair shop
annex This method OF site procurement.
The Star believes, is unsatisfactory. The
best results will follow from the adop-
ton of comprehensive plan. permitting

The Jersey Democrats.

Three things connected with yesterdays
democratic convention in New Jersey are
worthy of attention:
% Former United States Senator James
Smith, Jr.. dominated the proceedings and
heads the delegation to st. Louis. He IL

a member of that body at the time Mr.. Cor
man was putting the trust and protection

lent his aid. He got all that was possible

Jersey. and In doing so incurred share OF
the denunclation which Mr.. Cleveland visit

amendments to that measure. 1t Will De

Fair Play for the Teachers.

Elsewhere on this page Ii reprinted The
Stars editorial of March IA In defense Of
our school teachers against the proposition
that defamatory suspicion, rumors or gos-
sip concerning a teacher. even IL untrue,
should be ground of dismissal. Mr.. E. B.
Stocking, who propounded this theory. has
construed The Stars editorial comment upon
it as personal abuse" of him, and at this
weeks meeting of the Mt. Pleasant Citizens
Association endeavored to reciprocate the
alleged abuse. A reading of the editorial
will show that the person abused by The
Star are the slanderers and scandaimongers
whose existence Mr.. Stockings resolutions
and speeches implied. When the editorial
was written The Star did not know that Mr..
Stocking counted himself among those
whom 1t denounced. and rather assumed
that in putting forth his abstract plea for
Islander with impunity he had been imposed
upon by and was being used as the uncon-
scious tool of the scandalmongers.
The Star has nothing to subtract from
and little to add to the reprinted editorial
1t still condemns all who fall within the
lines OF that editorials denunciatiOn. 1t is
convinced that any demoralizing conditions
existing In the schools are due to failure to
obey and enforce In letter and spirit the
ninth and not the seventh commandment.
The Star would have both commandments
observed. 1t sees increasing indications Of
a necessity In the interest of the schools
and of the community to detect and punish
the malignant whisperers of lying gossip.

There is a good deal of talk these days
about what James ]. Hill is going to do in
the light of the Northern Merger decision.
1t is safe to say that he will continue In
business, and be a little more careful hence
forth about monkeying with the law. He
was not the only man who had grown in
different to the antitrust law, nor is he the
only one who has been instructed by the
Presidents action and the decision of the
Supreme Court. Trust magnates every
where have learned a lesson which should
benefit them. And it will benefit them, I'M
less they succeed in securing such action
at st. Louis as will encourage them to lay
pipe for the future. In that event we may
expect to see them pluck up a public be

plans in broad way

Attacking Judge Parker.

Don NJ. Dickinson. one Of Mr.. CleveIand's
near and dear friends. was in Cincinnati
the other day. and in some remarks on the
political situation. said:
I'm 1888 Cleveland was on the ticket for
President and David Bennett Hill was on
the same ticket for governor of New York.
Cleveland lost New York and also the
presidency. At that same election Hill car
ried New York. Then Hill went to the
mex. democratic national convention and
said: am the only man who can carry
New York But Hill was not nominated
for President In 1892.
Cleveland was. Cleveland carried New
York and was elected that year. You see
my point? Well, my democratic friends in
Michigan come and ask me who Judge Par
ker is. 1 say to them: You don't know
Judge Parker? Why. when Cleveland lost
New York In 1883 and Hill carried that state
at the same election. 1t was done by the
nefarious campaign carried on for Hill by
Judge Parker. Now do You know Judge
Parker? Isn't that enough?'
Hitherto Mr.. Hill has been held solely
responsible for the result to which Mr..
Dickinson refers. 1t has been quoted times
without number by his enemies in his own
party as illustrating the supreme selfish
ness and treachery with which they have
generously endowed him. And in some
quarters their allegations have worked Mr.
Hill harm. They figured in his discom-
future In 1892. when he was soliciting sup
port for his presidential candidacy. Now
We are told that Judge Parker participated
in that transaction. and shares with Mr..
Hill in its odium.
This comes with the greater surprise so
soon after the Endorsement of Judge Parker
by Mr.. Cleveland Surely he knows as
much about the matter as Mr.. Dickinson.
They may have talked it over together. We
may infer. then. either that Mr.. Cleveland
never accepted the story-at any rate SO far
as Judge Parker was concerned-or that he
has forgiven him. Otherwise he could not
conscientiously have expressed himself
about Judge Parker in the terms he re-
Gently employed.
The charge of treachery in the New York
campaign Of 1888 has never been persuasive
outside of circles inimical to Mr.. Hill. The
democratic proposition was a very difficult
one. Mr.. Cleveland's course In the White
House made him exceedingly unpopular.
Mr. HIS course as governor of New York
had made him exceedingly popular. Both
were up for Endorsement The fight against
the common enemy was fast and furious
from start to finish Mr.. Quay, who was
conducting the campaign for the republic
cans, made his headquarters in New York,
and the democrats found in him tireless
and accomplished foe. He made special
play against their national ticket, which
was weak, and succeeded in defeating it.
That tells the story.
Out of the bitterness that followed the di-
vided result-Mr. Hill Endorsed, and Mr..
Cleveland turned down-grew a story of
treachery, and this was repeated SO often
that some people came to believe it. But
not a scntilla of proof has ever been pro-
duced In support of 1t.
