There was a Door to which he. found no
Key;
There was Ven past which he could not
see;
A mocking shape always appeared
Before the door Of knowledge srinned and
leered.
The blazing lodestar that he saw in
youth.
Which he imagined was the star of TRUTH
Its tremulous and soft alluring light
But glorihed one brief. sweet summer
night.
Before the gate Of Hope he stood. and
cried:
"whsre do the vision and the dream
abideg"
Then family did voice in silence moan:
Beyond. brother. aud beyond tn,
Throne
Then at the shrine Of Love ne knelt ant
prayed
And all her priests in silken robes ar
iayed:
But Loves bright altar candles TO ashe
turned
Ere yet one-half the ritual was learned
Deep in the mines of Wisdom then h
wrought;
And Of the Heaven asked the Thing h
sought
And from the door of silence sought t
roll
The stone imprisoning his heart and SOU
And daily did he seek the Vale OF Light
And ceaseless question Of the Wrong an
Right.
But sun he faced the Door without tn
Key.
And stiil beyond the Veil he could not Sc,
And. when Death leaned down from IN
distant skies
And sofuy kissed TO sleep his tired eye,
The watchers heard a phantom whispe
moan.

The depostors Of the Fredonla National
BanS. Of Fredonia. y. Y. have adopted a
Sc, Of resolutions denouncing the nsai-
cheney OF national bank examinations and
calling for some kind Of reform that will
make the money of dencstor in a ma
( tionnl bank safe. They havs made no
new discovery We all know that bAnk ex-
amaau0ns arc not so effective as to pre-
vent losses from unsafe banking, and
While depostors' losses since the organl-
zduon of the system have been less than
! per cent of the whole volume Of de-
posiis. an realize that 1t would be good
thing If this possibility could be elimi-
mated While the present system is ini-
mensciy superior 10 the private bank it
superseded, it Is far from perfect.
Government examinations cannot be
thoroughly effective in the very nature OF
the case To make them so there would
have to be az least twenty times as many
examiners as at present. and these exam-
inors would have to be thoroughly familiar
with the business Of every borrower from
the banks they examined. Likewise they
would have TO be somewhat more than
human not 10 take chances on "A bank get
ting over a rough place when their own
interests we're IN no wise involved. This
matter OF examinations is one Of the
points IN which the business Of the coun-
try has outgrown the national banking
system as originally laid down. The in
nexibility Of the banknote currency is an
other, and there are other severe limita-
tions which cause the largest institutions
either to violate the banking laws or TO
do business as firms silse Morgan 4 Co.
and ether large New York houses.

Strikes Are Endina.

From the Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
The best kind Of strike is the called
OFF variety This remark is prompted by
the fact that the Executive Board Of
the sixth district OF the Amalgamated
Association Of Iron. Steel and Tin
Workers has ended a strike at five
plants in chat district which had been
i'm progress more than year. -Four Of
the plants are I'm OHIO and one In Penn
sylvania and belong to the Carnegie
steel Company. While it was generally
believed that the strike was lost the
decision TO call 1t off came as a dis
tinct surprise. as it was believed that
the national and distinct officials favor
ed dts continuance. 1t is certainly wiser,
however. to end a. hopeless strike than
TO keep It going. Several thousand
men We're thrown out of work at its
inception. but the great majority found
employment without much loss Of time,
thanks TO the general activity in the
iron business. II Is now thought that
other strikes considered TO be lost will
soon be formally abandoned, as recon-
mended by President Shaner i'm AN adj

AN EDITORS LIBEL suns,

A BOUT a year ago the sunday
"A star defendant ia libel suit.
lost its case and was required TO pay
a considerable sum as damages. The
editor did this with a serenity which
was admirable aud announced that he
should go right on telling the truth as
he saw il and when in his judgment it
needed to be told.
OF course it Is not for us at this
time to estimate the essential fairness
Of that Judgment but we do think it
fair to say that the popular estimate
was that the editor had been penalized
for doing what he conceived 10 be a
duty to the public. The question Of
whether he had a legal right has beer
determined by court. and we shall
not question that.

COURTS 10 DECIDE CONTESTS.

THE Connecticut Legislature before
a the close Of its session passed a
noteworthy bit Of legislation, and the
operation of the law will be watched
with great interest.
il is Corrupt Practices act but is
unlike other nets by that ,itle IN that II
is SO broad that it's enforcement would
mean practical guarantees Of honest
elections. It took hght to ee, 1t
through but the abuses Of the elector-
ate have been. so great in the old Nut
meg state recently that there vas a
demand Tor something drastic.
This act provides for detailed ac-
cuunt Of ali the expenditures Of can
didates treasurers and an political
agents; but il does not stop there. It
provides for revision Of the returns
by the judges OF The courts, and they
are empowered after goins over the
evidence to declare the election Of any
candidate void
In cases Of the election Of Federal
Officers the finding after a contest has
been heard by the court is to be trans
mitted to that Federal authority com-
petent 20 take action.
This by no means signifies that the
rights of the electorate have been
transferred TO the courts. but IL means,
rather, that the courts may be called
upon to determine judicially what the
will OF the people is as expressed at the
ballot box.
such law is needed in every state
where there is an honest and fearless
judiciary And this confirms anew the
general .Agh estimate Of the people for
the judiciary The hnal appeal not
merely in law but in other matters is
to the courts possibly because there is
no other recourse, but certainly be-
cause a higher order Of character on
the average is found 90 the bench than
elsewhere in public life.

THE WANDERING MINSTREL.

Word was received from P. Maurice
McMahon by yesterdays mail dated
Niagara Falls, N. Y. where he went
from Mexico to visit his brother and
family. He expected to sail from
New York City for Liverpool on the
steamship Umbrfa May IS. Instead of
returning to Mexico after visiting his
mother in England, McMahon says he
is seriously thinking of going to Bu-
enos Ayres, capital of the Argentine
Republic. South America. But he con-
fesses to a soft spot in his heart for
Hawaii-dwells long and fondly on the
beauties of our scenery and delights
of life here, and concludes by sending
his aloha to all his friends. Intimate
friends of Hawaifs erstwhiIe poet say
it is toss-up whether he returns to
these islands after leaving England, or
goes to South America.
