slayer and slaiaher.

In the first number Of the Atlantic
Monthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had d
poem called (. Brahma, Z which puzzled
both critics and common readers.
Some said it was the greatest poem Of
the century Some said it was non
sense. The first verse ran as follows:
II the red SLAYER think he Stays,
Or IL the slain think he Is slain, NJ
They know not well the subtle ways
I keep and pass and turn again.
That winter 1t happened that a rela-
tive Of the poet Longfellow, living in
another state, bought sleigh, and In
a family letter to the cousins In Cam
bridge there was a wall lest the Janu-
airy thaw which had followed the pur-
chase should keep them from enjoying
the gay cutter that season When the
letter was answered, Longfellow CON
tributed this verse, which, it Is said,
has never been printed before:
TO - ON THE PURCHASE OF a
# SLEIGH. W.
If the red sleigher think he sleighs
Or IL the sieighin thinksi 1t Is sleighin,
They know not we'll the subtle ways
OF snow, that comes and goes again.

A report made to Secretary Straus
of the department of commerce and
labor by Mr.. Powderly, chief of the
division of information of the bu.
reau of immigration, shows an i'm
mediate demand for the services of
256,400 persons, men women and
children in various branches of in
dustry throughout the country at
wages ranging from SO week to
$3.50 a day. The department learns
from the commissioners of agricul-
ture of various states that 1,O20,O0O
settlers on land are needed in the
far west. The department is endea-
voring to meet these demands by the
establishment of intelligently con-
Quoted employment agencies for i'm
migrants. The figures indicate that
there is no reason why any one
should be idle in this country if he
is able and willing to work. 1t al
so shows that there is still plenty of
room for intelligent and Industrious
immigrants and as good opportuni-
ties as ever for them to accumulite
wealth. 49,.

his illness are exaggerated and that
he may be spared for many years
to his countrymen,

1t would seem that there is a good
deal of unnecessary heat in the con-
troversies pro and con regarding
railroad rates, their making, their
reasonableness and whether or not
legislatures have the right to make
them or courts have the right to
set them isaide. Some recent deci-
sions by courts have taken occasion
sharply to rap legislatures for enact
ing laws governing rates. There is
one standard that must be observed
in the making and enforcement of
rates and that is reasonableness and
Justice. 1t is not wise for legisla-
making with preconceiyed prejudice
against railroads. neither is it neces-
sary to decide matters of rates in
terms that deal harshly or unfavor-
ably with the law making bodies.
The legislative, executive and judic-
ial functions of the government are
on a plane of equality and it is on
ly fair for the instruments of each
branch to accord good faith to the
actions of the. other branches. The
sooner the various classes of people
and industry quit looking upon each
other as sworn enemies and the soon
er there is a temper of wisdom, san
ity and clearness in dealing with pub
lie questions, the sooner we shall
reach a remedy for whatever evils
we may have to complain Of
