How did that little yaller hen
Get to that rung so high?
Was she borne there by an airship.
Or did she just up fly?
She cackled. then she laid an egg
And cackled awful after.

She almost raised rafter

Though traffic is serious care,
With methods all austere,
\ time arrives when it must wear
\ visage less severe,
And stand aside and kindly wait,
Nor venture to complain,
While bundles are arranged in state
When Dolly takes the train.
The whistle in the distance may
Send forth its warning cry;
The men may stand in fierce array
And scoWl till she gets by.
They soon relent, as all serene
In innocent disdain
She sweeps triumphant through the scene
When Dolly takes the train.

Must yield TO the command

Whom kings might threat in vain
In Difference will stand aside

An Olney Boom.

The suggestion of Richard Olney for
President VIII hardly be taken seriously
He is very able man, and not too old
TO make q campaign, but he does not
fit the emergency. There is no call 70,
him.
Mr.. tiney was the one member of the
second Cleveland cabinet whose reputa-
ton was increased by his service. Judge
Gresham suffered materially. Taken
from the bench. where he was an orna-
ment and eXcellently placed. he did not
succeed in the State Department. and
lived long enough to regret the change.
Mr. Carlisle, who was the foremost man
on the democratic side of the Senate and
should have remained there, found only
other members had only the usual hum
drum cabinet experience,
But Mr.. Olney stood forth as a valu-
able find \ Boston lawyer. unknown
10 the country at large and inexperienced
in politics, he handled the business, first
of the Department of Justice. and then
OF the State Department, in a way to
command much attention. He proved
to be "A man of great force. and in the
Venezuelan matter his part aroused pop
ular admiration. He was quite the hero
Of that episode.
That. however, was sixteen years ago,
and many things have changed since
then. In three years after that affair
Great Britain took our side in the con-
troversy over Cuba. and her friendship
proved of value. Europe, which did no,
like our attitude toward Spain, and was
| thinking of making formal protest, re-
considered the matter upon discovering
| that Great Britain in such circumstances
| would support the United States. So
| that his record in the Venezuelan bust
| ness would not serve Mr.. Olney In q
| national campaign now.
Then 1t is to be considered that an
Olney boom would to some extent inter
fere with the Harmon boom. and maybe
Mr.. Olney would not care to have that
| happen. The two men are friends, and
| once sat at the same cabinet table. They
agreed too, in their appraisement Of Mr..
Bryan at the time of his first nonnina-
ton. They bolted him that year, although
both since have supported him.
The Harmon boom is now booming.

attitude Of 1896. But so would he prob.

ably feel toward an Olney boom. Mr..
Olney, like his cabinet associate. retired
from politics in 1897 to resume a law
practice made lucrative through corpora
ton clients, and Mr.. Bryan SHES at all
corporation lawyers.
An Olney boom would be accepted as
an effort to corral votes for delivery at
a critical time to some other candidate.
But in a stampede they might not so to

An interesting and important interna-

ing as a result Of the introduction into
the Russian parliament Of bill for eX-
tending to twelve miles from shore the
limits Of territorial waters along the
coast of Archangel outside the recog-
nized boundaries OF the White sea. The
enactment and enforcement of this
measure would practically destroy the
immensely rich fishing industries which
Great Britain and other countries con-
duct there. since the fishing banks are
all within the twelye-mile line, and Of
course 1t would set Il precedent conf
plctely repudiating the ancient and in
variable three-Inilc prescription of inter-

Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Japan
have therefore promptly and vigorously
protested against the measure and will
doubtless use all possible diplomatic
pressure against it; and If it is enacted
in spite of them they will probably make
an appeal to The Hague for relief.

The President and the Tariff

| Nearly all the severe criticism of the
| President has been based upon his tariff
| record
/ lie was criticised for signing the Payne
| bill. and told that a veto would have i'm
mortalized him and saved HRS party. Nc
| clear reasoning accompanied the state
| ment. He had made no secret OF the
| fact that the bill did not fill his desires
| and he had mentioned the wool schedule
as defect. But the bill had come to hin,
with large majority of the republicans
of both houses of Congress at its back
and as it contained many things of which
| he approved he signed.
Suppose he had vetoed the measure
Would the special session have been pro-
lonscd i'll an effort to meet the Presi-
dents wishes or the matter been permit
ted to go over to the regular session: In
either event the unrest in business cir
cles would have continued, and the re-
publican party been held responsible. So
far from saving the party the beating it
got last November. a veto might have
added to the size of the democratic ma
jority.
Now the President is criticised for ne
sotiating with Canada for reciprocity
approval upon the republican tariff re-
vision. In November, he is told the coun-
try transferred the task of remedyins
tariff defects to the democratic party.
Why should he have butted in and COM
plicated matters? Why not have waited
until the proper time. and then have sent
to the new Congress his recommendation
on the tariff subject, leaving it to the
democratic House to make such response
as it might choose?
But the country did not in November
transfer tariff revision to the democratic
party. 1t did not-maybe because it could
not-put that party in full control. 1t re-
jected the Payne law, and registered its
disapproval by electins a democratic
House. But it did not by that act halt all
tariff efforts until the democracy could
take the initiative. The President re-
manned in Office, still charged with con-
sidering, the contrys welfare, and the re-
publicans in control of the House, still
charged with the duty of legisIating for
the country until the arrival of the adj
journment day fixed by the Constitution
The President has done neither an IT.
regular nor an unwise thing. He was
not only within his rights in working for
the Canadian pact, but in negotiating it
has met with the approval Of the demo-
Gratis themselves. The action of the House
is most significant. The democrats of that
body accepted the pact. So far from re-
gardinS it as an interference with their
commission and intentions respecting the
tariff, they were willing to make 1t a part
Of their own program.

THE MOSQUITO.

A vigorous campaign is proceeding
in New Jersey this season to clean
out the mosquitoes that have given
the state its foremost situation among
the newspaper squibs of the summer
time.
In Montclair the health department
began back in April to locate the pools
of standing water where the pests
breed. Low spots sheltering the mos
quito are adjudged a public nuisance
and it costs $40 for the privilege OF
maintaining one pool on your premises
sheltering such dangerous wild beasts
The practical difficulty is encountered
however, that a land owner can't be
prosecuted until you actually catch
him with the goods on in the shape OF
larvae proved to be mosquitoes.
1t is thus not always a simple mat
ter to get rid of them. The mosquito
is wary bird and he mas a very keen
sense for danger as many people real
ize in the dead of night, as he sings
his paean over their frantic acts tc
administer him a spanking.
Recent experiments on twelve ponds
close together having similar condi
tions, showed that in only one of them
were there any mosquito larvae, 'and
| that one was a pond in which there
were no fish, while all the others bred
| fish.
The standard rules for mosquito ex
termination are these: Drain al
standing water, fill depressions thai
| can collect water, screen all water
tkept for domestic use, and put crude
petroleum in all cesspools.
For l percent of the valuation, any
| land, it is said, can be so drained as
to clear out the mosquitoes, and il
ought to be worth 10 percent more fol
building.
| The great trouble is that the wint
blows these vicious beasts for many
miles, so that eXterminating them is {
statewide proposition. Recognizin,
this, the New Jersey legislature appro
priated S350,000 a few years ago for
| five years job on Newark meadow
and other low lands.
| 1t is estimated that the mosquit,
has killed more people in the United
States by carrying malarial poisonin,
than were killed in the civil war.
