As the World Moves.

When the sunshine is bright and the
day rolls along
at pace that is CHEEKY and steady
and strong;
When the minutes like pictures we
pass on the way
And we lightly approve of the shifting
display;
When the travel is smooth and we're
fain to. go on
By the light Of the stars when the
sunshine is gone;
When pleasure is all that its travels
reveal,
Oh, this world moves along like an
automobile.
When you're up in the air and your
pace is so fast
That you take no account Of the miles
you have passed;
When nerves tensely culver as dash
ing you go,
Disdaining the caution that mortals
should show;
When you halt now and then in your
half-frenzied mirth,
And wonder if safely you'll get back
to earth,
This world, onward flying both early
and late,
Will seem like an airship, defiant of
fate.
But when time dumbly plods at a gait
that is slow
And the journey seems rougher each
mile that you go;
When the briars are thick on an ILL.,
chosen road
And Duty grows faint with the weight
of the load;
When q creaking wheel utters pro-
test so shrill,
And the way seems forever swamp
or a hill,
This world, which for some moves mid
laughter and song,
Is only a wheelbarrow-push it along.

of the House. reaching in the end the
high position of chairman of the foreign
affairs committee. His aspirations had
reached to the speakership.
His promotion to the governorship of
New York was source of great pleasure
to his friends in Congress. They wished
him well, and expected him to succeed.
That he would be brought to his present
plight was of course undreamt of. The
bare suggestion would have been hooted.
Tammanys prominence in all that has
led up to Gov. Suffers predicament has
been made much of-too much-by him
and his friends. Tammany is pretty bad.
1t fights after the fashion of a tiger
hercely, and without giving quarter.
But Tammany's bad character is not the
point, nor can 1t be used to hide the
point. Gov. Sulzer must meet definite ac-
cusations. fortified by the testimony of
persons and by written documents, and
meet them fully and squarely. Any re-
lance on technicalities will injure him. A
triumph Of his attorneys on such line
would not be a triumph for him.
The governor enters the trial with an
expression of confidence. He tells the
public he feels certain of acquittal If
such should be the result the public will
rejoice. The court is composed of men
competent for their work, and those
called from the bench are among the
lawyers in the state. \ fair
trial then is assured. and whatever the
Judgment rendered the public will receive
il with respect. No tribunal in the state
has ever had before it a case of greater,
if so great, interest and importance.

New York and Congress.

The Star suggested the other day that
Tammany should improve its opportunity,
and send a good man to the House to fill
the Harrison vacancy. Il has now an
other opportunity, and should send a good
man to fill the Sullivan vacancy
We see here the resources of Tammany
as political organization, and get line
on its management. Mr.. Harrison is q
man of education and high social posi-
ton. He was in no sense a leader in the
House, but he took his duties seriously,
discharged them diligently. and made a
respectable figure as a legislator. He
served his constituents very well, and in
vited no criticism Of them or himself
Mr.. Sullivan, on the other hand, had
neither education nor position. Native
wit and shrewdness he did have but they
did not fit him for legislative work He
recognized the fact himself Some years
ago, after a futile term or two in the
House, he left on the frank confession
that he liked neither the work nor the
town. Why he consented to stand for
the House again was probably due to the
persuasion of friends with less knowledge
of the requirements of the place here
than he possessed.
But, unlike as they were in every par
ticular, these men were members of the
same congressional delegation and sat
together as colleagues. In the one dis
trict Tammany had made play for the
higher order of support, and in the other
for the lowest
The reason offered in the case Of Mr..
Sullivan Is that he was Of the soil; that
he represented his people; that being OF
them and for them, he was the right man
for the place.
Undoubtedly he had many friends. and
was a hearty and generous man Of his
kind. But there must have been scores
OF men in the district, and are there to-
day, with excellent qualifications for con-
gressional work. Choosing Mr.. Sullivan
was a sort of bravado-an assertion OF
Indifference, il not contempt. for nationa
sentiment and a sense of propriety.
New York should rise above its Ions

The Entertainment World.

Another. and maybe a final, word about
Mr.. Bryan and the show business. Is not
the present arrangement an Improvement
on the old?
In earlier days an orator and a show
man sometimes clashed-interfered with
each other The orator improved circus
day TO make a speech. or the Snowman
improved an appointment by famous
orator to raise his tent. Bad feeling was
created JeaIousies were fomented.
A story of an impatient orator had "a
long run and large circulation. He was
holding forth at his best '.lick"-pouring
out words in torrents, and windmilling
vigorously with his arms-when the cir
Gus band, at the head of the circus pro-
cession, wheeled into the street, and,
nearing the speakers stand, threatened
to drown the speakers voice. He sur
rendered in time. saying: MY fellow
citizens. / feel deeply grateful to you for
your presence and the attention YOU have
given me, but there is limit to my
powers. i cannot hope to hold you as
and so l respectfully bring my remarks
to a close"
Today the difficulty has disappeared.
The orator and the Snowman no longer
interfere with each other. The spirit of
live and let live has conquered. They ap-
pear together, and divide time under the
same tent. turn and turn about.
Nor is the arrangement as inappropriate
as appears on it's face. Napoleon, who
was soldier, statesman and philosopher,
classed orators with actors and must
clans. In his opinion, all We're entertain
ers.
Is the new arrangement violative of the
antitrust movement of the day, for which
Mr. Bryan has long stood? At time
when We are about to begin with what
Mr.. Underwood calls competitive
tariff is it just the thing for enter
tanners to be doubling up" in an effort
to save expenses, increase receipts, and
insure job for all?
However that may be. the old cut
throat days when the orator reduced the
size of the crowd at the circus, or the
circus band and parade drowned out the
orator and scattered his audience, need
not return. In this age of progress, We
have progressed in the line of entertain
ment as in other lines. and reactionaries
are under ban.

The proceedings which began at Albany
al noon today are of grave moment to the
whole country, and will be followed to the
end with national interest. Nor will in
terest be confined to this country. New
York is the most widely known of all the
states of the Union. and the impeach-
ment OF the governor has been the sub
Ject of much comment abroad. The trial,
therefore. will command space in foreign
newspapers. and the details become texts
for many homilies on popular government
in America.

Diseases and epidemics used to be

legal phrase. 1t has taken modern sani-

of them result from acts of man, and
that a good portion of the rest may be
controlled by the exercise of mans
power over nature. The United States
government has been a pioneer among

Herculaneum and PompeiI.

The twin cities of mournful destiny were both engulfed at the same time August, 79 A. D. The reason why Herculaneum has not been excavated to the same extent as Pompeii is ow ing to the fact that 1t was covered with much harder material than was Pompeii; the dust predominating in Pompeii, while the lava prevailed over Herculaneum. There Is not much doubt about the eventual opening up of both cities. Human curiosity. to gether with the demands of history and science, will not rest until Her culaneum has been made to tell it's secrets. It is unlikely, however, that there will be much new knowledge gained from it's excavation, but little more than has already come to us from Pompeii.
