have fancy steppers and who are de-
sirous of trying their speed against
competitors. The temptation to
speed a nag, hitched to a cutter and

A gay and handsome travelling man
Lay on a bed Of pain,
All hope was past, his life ebbed fast,
He ne'er would rise again.
"Have you no sweetheart fair and
true?"
They whispered DER his bed,
"Whom you would tel / a last fare,
well?"
The young man softly said:
There's Daisy back in Burlington.
and Mile up in Blair,
There's Nellie down in Lincoln Town
and Mary at st. Clair,
And at Des Moines, there's Lottie
dear, whom I must surely see,
And Annie, too, of Waterloo, Oh!
bring them all to me-"
The watchers stared IN wild surprise.
And then they said once more,
Come tell us. pray, without delay,
The girl whom you adore;
The girl whom you have sworn tc
love,
And bring both wealth and fame,
Your promised wife, your hope and
life,
Quick, let us know her name"
There's Maggie up at Boone" he
SAID, and Mayme at Wapello,
There's Violet at Winterset, and May
at Monticello,
And Genevieve at Davenport, and
Mabel at st. Paul."

SENATOR ALLISON ON THE TAR.

Washington correspondents have
made free play with Senator Allison's
attitude toward tariff revision, lns
'rippers' claiming him as in close
sympathy with their views. But nc
one has been making elongated claims
in self, and now Walter Wellman, who
has been making elongated claims in
that direction, reports an interview
in which Mr.. Allison takes a very
sensible and eminently practical view
of the subject. Referring to a prob
ability of an early REIMBURSEMENT OF
the tariff schedules, the senator is re
ported as saying
There is a demand in my part
of the country for corrections in
the tariff law. I will not call it
tariff revision, for l cannot find
that anyone-in the republican
party at least-desires to reopen
the tariff question for the purpose
of general revision.
Necessary changes can be
made, and I think will be, without
any disturbance to business and
without much ado in congress. 1t
seems to be now largely a ques-
ton of agreement among locali-
ties. For instance, Massachu-
sets shoemakers desire free raw
material.
1.-THE west opposes free hides
and calls for a revision of the
steel schedules on account of high
prices. Meanwhile Pennsylvania
objects to that. 1 saw the other
day a circular demanding free
goat skins. We have always had
free goat skins, and there is no
tariff at all on hides, except the
hides of cattle. Last year we i'm
ported 10000, 900 hides Of differ
ent kinds on which no tariff is
paid at all. If the New England
manufacturer of shoes should get
free raw material he ought to be
willing to give the other parts of
the country free shoes; but there
is no demand for tariff revision of
this character. All that is needed
are corrections in the law which
time has shown to be necessary"
The foregoing utterances are no
only wholly in harmony with the re
publican national platform and thu
last Iowa republican declaration, bu'
the reader will notice there is an en-
tire absence of a demand for free
trade with Canada, and OIL those I'm
derhanded insinuations against the
protective tariff as the refuge of mo
nopoly and trusts so characteristic o
at least a portion of the revision
press. There is no call by Senate
Allison for an extra session of con
gress to revise the tariff, or any sug
gestion other than some changes il
the tariff such as time mas shown t
be necessary. The present Dingle,
tariff is to stand pat" but the mex
| congress will consider some suggest
ed changes. In some instances tn
rates may be lowered; In others in
creased. With the present incom,
scarcely equal to the expenditures
and the latter likely to increase ur
less work on internal Improvement
and an enlarged navy r to cease
it is not probable that the next cor
gress will do much in a reduction O
| the customs duties.

A r FOR D A

Grant us, o Lord, the grace to bear
The little pricking thorn;
The hasty word that seems unfair;
The twangs of truths we'll worn;
The jest that makes our weakness

The darling plan o'erturned;
The careless touch upon our pain,
The slight we have not earned;
The rasp of care, dear Lord, today
Lest all these fretting things
Make needless grief, Oh give us

The heart that trusts and sings.

RECENT DECISIONS.

District courts ground out important
precedents last week. Three questions
of moment were decided. A Chicago
judge found law for his assertion that
IL fiat be rented with the agreement
that it is to be heated and is not heat
ed, the rent need not be paid. Two
young ladies' of means had taken q
years lease of q fashionable apart
ment. 1t was well warmed. by steam
when the For Rent" sign was in the
window. AS soon as they moved In
the ladies' testified the heat was
turned off. nor were they able by pleas
to the landlady or threats TO the jani-
tor to get II on again. Therefore, they
moved. The landlajy sued them 70,
the months rent and damages for
breaking the lease. The court heard
witnesses including a number of young
men in society who when calling upon
the young ladies' had been obliged to
sit with their coat collars turned up
and their gloves on. There was no
doubt that the contract had been vio.
lated by the owner Of the fiat. The
court held no rent or damages for the
broken lease could be collected.
A Philadelphia court decided that 1t
is not unlawful to overload street cars.
A man who had been pushed off the
rail Of a crowded trolley asked DAM
ages. The judge held a street car
company could not be held responsible
for overcrowding since TO refuse pas
sengers would render them liable to
damages under the common carrier
laws. Damages were refused.
Another precedent of interest was
given in Cleveland. where a judge fixed
the value Of a kiss at $500. A race
track man forcibly saluted in the street
a young lady whom he mistook for an
other. She had him arrested and sued
him for damages. The court awarded
$500 which the tout cheerfully pail

THE LIMIT OF USEFULNESS.

DR.. William Osler, formerly OF John
Hopkins University, signalized his
departure from that institution last
month for new field OF usefulness at
at Oxford by the expression of some
striking opinions His farewell address
was devoted mainly to a discussion of
the facilities afforded in this country
and Europe for pathological research,
but he improved the occasion to utter
two fixed ideas" which he has long
been haunted. one is that profession-
al mans usefulness practically ends at
the age Of forty; the other is that at
sixty he should abandon work entirely
indeed, he is not gently removed from
the sphere Of his activity by the admin
istration of chloroform.
Whether these convictions were in
spired by observation Of other people
exclusively, or by morbid self-exami-
nation the speaker did not explain

nation thee speaker did not explain.
He proposed to find justification for
his doctrine in the history Of virchow,
Lister and Koch, but as Dr. Osler now
lacks only four years Of the age
Of sixty, one cannot but won-
der whether he has detected himself
in any grave diminution in mental
force or sound judgment. II so, was
1t altogether wise TO assume the new
responsibilities to which he had been
called in England? His speech sug-
gests still another inquiry. Suppose
the brakes were taken off the wheels
of progress by the summary removal
of everyone at the age Of threescore:
would not things whiz at such fear
ful rate that there would be danger Of
hot box? This matter needs careful
consideration before any such conse-
quences are made possible.

SENTIMENT AGAINST RUSSIA

SENTIMENT AGAINST RUSSIA.
Herr Bebel, the socialist leader in
the German reichtsag. indirectly called
attention to the worlds popular hostil-
ity to Russia in an attack which he has
just made on the policy Of the German
government. The socialist chief de-
slared that Germany's creeping be-
fore Russia had humiliated her in the
eyes of the world, and had brought her
to shame" He charged that Chancel-
lor Won Buelow was responsible for
Prussia's nasty work Of catching fugi-
tives from Russian military service
and turning them over to the agents
of the autocrat, and for forcing men
and women, whose only offense was
love Of liberty to leave Prussian ter
titory at the instance Of Russian
spies"
Unquestionably Herr Babel not only
voted the view of the entire socialist
party the strongest party in the Ger
man empire. but he expressed the
opinion of a large majority OF the peo-
