fierce Last night the Wisherd line
excursion boat, the G.. W Hill, and
the Streckfus line boat, the Sidney,
gave what were the last moonlight"
excursions from the local port for this
season. Both boats arrived az the
Davenport dock al about Ills, the Sid
ney making a landing just before the
Hin. The Sidney was tied in such n
manner that the Hill despite the ef-
forts of Captain D. w. Wisherd, could
make no landing at its regular dock
As he tried to come In, the Streckfus
boat outmanouvered him and forced
him 20 land at a less conspicuous
place.

Then began those awful. loathesome
times on the calliopes. One bangor of

A half dozen bally-hooers stood near

Well tine upshot OF il all was that the
crowd had about six bits worth of en-

the scene, though not quite so full of
noise, was by no means a quiet one
Larger crowds boarded the boat on
the local side and fair-sized crowds
were carried. As the boats pulled out

KINGS SPEECH .. =
WAS COLORLESS

LONDON, England, February IA
The second session of the second
Parliament of King Georges reign
was opened today by King George
with all the picturesque ceremony
which marks such OCCASIONS. The
speech from the throne, which had
been anticipated by the public with
keen interest, was a great disappoint-
ment, because of the colorless tone of
the kings references to the epoch
making legislation mapped out by the
government The speech was short.
In referring to the measures to be
brought before parliament the king
said:
"A measure for the better govern
ment of Ireland will be submitted to
you.
"A bill will be laid before you to
terminate the establishment of the
church in Wales and make provision
for its temporalities.
Proposals will be brought forward
for the amendment of the law with
respect to the franchise and the reg
istration of electors"
That was all the king had to say
about the three measures which, if
they become law, will turn state af-
fairs into new channels.
Relative to Chinese affairs the king
said:
81 trust that the crisis in China
may soon be terminated satisfactorily
by the establishment of a stable form
of government conforming with the
views of the Chinese people. My
government will continue. to observe
an attitude of strict non-intervention,
while taking all the necessary steps
to protect British life and property.
I fully recognize that the leaders on
both sides in China have shown every
desire to safeguard the lives and m
terests of foreigners resident in that
empire"
The British government, the king
said, was ready to associate with the
other powers in mediation to bring
to an end the war between Italy and
Turkey, and was striving in conjunc

even mentioned.

Deprived of delicacy of conscience,
profound faith in life and constant

men in the best regulated society are
only murdered ships and shining
wrecks. The present hour invites such
reflections. 1t is always good to re-

especially so in labored epochs such
as the present.

still astonished at its own novelty. We
must meet the instability of the ex-
terror frame by interior harmony,
firmness, decision and accuracy of

THE NATIONAL PENSION BILL

That Democratic house of representatives publicly pledged to economy aIsl rctrcnchmcnt should propose to increase the national pension expenditure by from fifty to Scvcnty-tivc millions a year augurS ill for the record of this congress. It makes the to say that the lower house eX- poets the bill tO be held up in tho senate or vetoed by the pres idcnt; inSinccrity is more rrprchcnsible than eXtravagance; and, if those observers are right who attribute this action partly to a dcmagogic desire in gain votes in the next campaign and partly io d desire to put the senate or the president ''in a hOlr,' Inc men who voted for Inc bill are guilty of cnwardIy and contempt iblr conduct. It should be pointed out, however, that som" Democratic leaders,, notably Mr. Underwood. and Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, spoke strongly against the measure, and that il was passed With the aid of all hut eight of tn" Republican votes and against a Democratic vote of about eighty. NrNcrthr- loss, the control of the house is wiIh the Democrats. and the bill could not have been passed, as it was, hastily and with inadequate debate, had il not been so wiIlcd by the party in power.
