THE BERLIN PRESS GALLERY.
From the Chicago Evening Post

From the Chicago Evening Post.
Herr Groeber has apologized for calling
the reichstag reporters Swine" Perhaps
he thinks "porcupines" would have been
correct.
From the New Orleanr Times Democrat
Rivals of the German political leader
who called the reichstaE reporters
swine" are now revealing in the assur-
ance that he will never again be able to
hog all the space in the publicity col
umns OF the newspapers.
From the Portland MeD Argus.
The apology made for the insult to the
reporters In the German reichstag proves
that even in autocratic Germany the
power OF the press is not to be sneezed at
From the Detroit News
When the Berlin press gallery laughed
at Herr Groeber for referring to the
immortal souls of the negro" they
showed up the weakness in the German
supernatural scheme. where there is no
Jim Crow" service after death.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Perhaps that German legislator merely
meant to insinuate that the Berlin re-
porters are pigs with pen.
From the Pittsburg Gazette Times.
The German reichstag evidently prefers
apologizing to oblivion.

BEFORE The SEASON OPENS.

Now the veteran fisherman
Dreams Of piscatory loot,
Overhauls a box of tackle.
Sticks a patch upon a boot:
Sorts u mass Of tangled hooks ard
Oils the automatic reel
Lays out wooden shirt and stockings.
Cleans the inside of the creel.
Then the lancewood rod is tested,
Is revarnished and rewound:
Fill'd the cheering little bottle.
And the drinking cup is found.
The old canvas coat Is tattered,
But will last a season hence,
And the khaki pants are mended
Where they caught upon the fence.
Next the sportsman knots the leaders,
Buys a new enameled line.
Repairs he the basket harness
With q little piece of Irvine;
Fills the old fy-book to bursting
With decoys OF latest type:
Minds the matches and tobacco
And the fragrant corncob pipe.
But the days are long and weary
When the fever's in the blood,
And the icy brooks are waiting
For the springtime and the flood:
When the KIT Is packed and ready,
And the patient angler dreams
OF the sunshine on the meadows
And the sport along the streams.

Honesick.

A little bit of sunshine in the early days
of spring
Will serve to start a usefulness: a sweet
remembering
OF the time when earth was Eden with
the blossoms all about
Until relentless winter came along and
turned you out.
We have wandered almost hopeless
through the months that drifted by
Endeavoring to yield to Fate and not be
glum or sigh.
Now the warm wind in the branches
weaves a dreamy little rhyme
And you find you're growing homesick;
homesick for the summer time.
You want the neighbors who made glad
the place of yore.
You want to see Old Busy Bee come buzz
Zing round once more.
To greet the honest faces of the daisies in
the field
And smell the perfume from the censers
that the roses WELD.
The year has seemed journey filled with
hardship and distress,
But you know that June Is waiting with a
welcoming tenderness.
When the wild flowers shyly listen to the
registering robins chime.
You find you're growing homesck; home
sick for the summer time!

The House and the Currency.

Discussion Of the currency problem is

representatives are primed with opinions
and the bate may be protracted. AS
the Aldrich bill is not an emergency

Senate examined the subject pretty thor
oughly. Big guns on both sides thun-
dered. and the noise at least was con-
Siderable Still the House may have new

IT'S A FRIENDS PRIVILEGE,

You'll be my friend and stick to me
Through storm and sunshine, foul and fair:
You'll share my joys. my comfort be.
When I'm confronted with despair?
When fortune frowns, OF course, you may
This kindly promise recoliect
But I'll be bound you'll come and say:
You're getting what you might expect

And have to bear the consequence;
It's often very bitter too,
And my chagrin is most intense.
In such little spark
OF sympathy rs not amiss,
But You would probably remark:
II knew that it would come to this
You'll be my friend, you say; but friends
That privilege will always claim.

His consolation is the same.
You re only human. like the rest
And when I'm overwhelmed with woe,
l don't care how you may protest
You'll tell me that you told me so.

Washington was none too orderly half
century ago. its peculiar police organi-
zation and lack OF effective
Fire municipal control over the Dis
p... trict territory contributing to the
development of dangerous con-
dtions. In The Star of March Fl, 1883,
are two news items which tell their sig
nificant story Of lawlessness In the streets.
One Of them is as follows:
The night before last some five indivi6-
| Gals of the rowdy class, who have the
freedom of the city, drove to the navy
yard In a hack and stopping near the
Anacostia engine house. they aighted,
and. seeing a few young fellows at the
door of the engine house. they attacked
them with pistols. firing about a dozen
shots, some of which pierced the doors of
the house and placed the assailed party in
imminent danger; luckily no one was
hurt This occurred about the time the
first alarm OF fire was given on that night,
and the boys who were attacked by this
crowd were not members Of any fire or
ganization. having been drawn to the spot
merely from curiosity. Finding themselves
thus Unexpectedly assailed, they retorted
IN such manner as to put the cowardly
fellows to flight in few moments, for.
finding themselves met so warmly they
retreated to their carriage. which drove
rapidly back toward the city
\
Far more serious was a street row that
| occurred in the northern section Of town,
being described in the Sec

and after some of the members had left

about ten minutes afterWard, by a reel
called the Good WILL drawn by a
large party of men. and just as they ar
rived opposite the Northern Liberties mar
ket a fight began. Who began 1t no one
seems to know. or rather one party SAYS
1t was the other party. and vice versa.
Anyhow, a great many shots were fired
from pistols and muskets: some say
seem to have been armed by preconcert.
1t Is rumored that some persons were
killed outright
Two informants who are entirely disin-
terested state that the first shot was fired
by the man who had hold of the lead rome
of the Good VIII reel, and that almost
simultaneously the succeeding shots were
fired from all directions. One informant
states that during the fight he saw one
of the police fire several shots Another
person says that the Good VIII boys be-
gan the fight by crying, oh, you Swypers!'
Still another account says the attack was
made by the Northern Liberty boys, who
were secreted in the market house A
looker-on states that during the fight a
man who led the Good Will boys used a
bell, the sound of which was a signal of
attack for his men. He stood near the
reel. and at the signal the men under him
would rush up, discharge their firearms
and then fall back behind the boxes and
other retiring places"

Working Both Sides.

Mr.. Bryan charges in the Commoner
that advocates of the nomination of
Judge Parker In 1904 afterward deliher-
ately sold him out, and that these per-
sons interested in securing Judge Par
kers nomination showed no interest in
his candidacy after the convention"
Continuing. he says:
There are certain financial interests
which are always so active before the
conventions that they want to dominate
both parties and nominate both candi-
dates. At this time there are certain mo-
nopolistic influences that are demanding
friendly to predatory wealth. These men
have their representatives In the various
states and they are working under

PLAN TO REVIVE SOUTH PENN.
Governor Keeps Pledge by Putting In.
quiry Into Commissions Hands.

Governor Edwin S. Stuart has
placed IN the hands of the State
Railroad Com mission the resolu-
tion adopted by the last Legisla.
ture to revive canals and railroads
'trangled by big lines.
1t is partly aimed to reclaim
the franchise of the South Penn
Railroad, running across the
State, which the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company seized, after
the work Of construction had be.
gun, and then abandoned, in or
der to destroy the threatened
competition and lessened trans.
portation rates.
Back in the late seventies the
South Pennsylvania came near IT,
beins a second trunk line railroad
across the State. 1t was pro
jected as such, and started out
with the powerful backing of vii
liam K. Vanderbilt and his asso
ciat These interests we're
then hostile to the Pennsylvania
Railroad.
Obtaining a State charter, the
Vanderbilt interests caused a sur
vey to be made and the line to be
located across the southern tier
of counties. Work began IN earn
est IN Fulton and Bedford coun
ties. Extensive grading was
done, and several tunnels were
driven through the mountain
ridges.
Money difficulties finally halted
construction work, and the char
ter and road were sold. The
Pennsylvania Railroad got con.
Jrol, Wllllam "A. Patton, now as
slstant to the president of that
company, playing part IN the
deal. That ended the project.
For years the Pennsylvania
Railroad kept alive the old South
Pennsylvania charter, and 1t is
still alive. 1t Is understood that
during the recent domlnanc ce
over the Baltimore and Ohio by
the Pennsylvania, the charter
and all 1t carried was sold TO the
then virtually controlled com.
pany to be used by it for It's pro-
jected short line from Hancock to
Plttsburg.

Clean Up.

The following from the Mount
Union Times is as applicable to
McConnellsburg as to Mount I'm
ION. The Times says
It's a good tune of year for ev-
cry man who owns a property,
and as well for every man who
rents one, to clean up the prem
lses. There Will not be any more
snow, and if there should be more
ram, even lot of it, it had better
tall upon clean places than dirty;
for ii is likely to spread the filth
and possibly carry some of 1t IN
to somebody's water supply.
A couple of hours work with
hoe, rake, and shovel, few nails
and pieces of boards, little Bit
of paint judlciously applied, will
make a wonderful difference.
And if there is added the cultiva-
ton or the putting in grass OF ev-
cry little bit of soil available for
the purpose, the whole win make
"a great contribution to the gener-
al beauty of any town.
