But the country knows mitte: alm or and has passed upon it. Mr. position as a party leader is in- finttely stronger than that of Mr. Aldrich as the result of the clash. The question today is that of securing the best results possible out of the confu- sion into which the Senate has plunged the matter. Practically, there are two bills before the conferees, the Dingley bill and the remains of the Aldrich bill, and the e is to effect a good compro- The best compromise for the country would be the original Dingley bill, with} such changes as would take note of the heavy anticipatory imports that have been made since the bill passed the House.

A controversy of more local interest is now in progress before the Post Office De- partment, relating to the name to be given oificiaily to tne town of Speonk, Long Is- lend, which has recently been changed to Remsenburg. Speonk Is an old Indian name, derived from the aborigines that formerly inhabited this beautiful island. The word means “sweet waters” and is de- scriptive of a tine spring near at hand, the fresh product of which was highly prized by the savages in contrast with the salt waters of the ocean. Thus the name of Speonk possesses historic and local signifi- cance and is dear to the older residents of the village. A new element has lately come into being, the town having been reached by the march of progress, which has pro- ceeded but slowly down Long Island from the metyopolis. There has been a good deal of grumbling among the new comers over the unesthetic sound of Speonk, which has been compared to the nolse made by a stone thrown into a pond and to the note of a bull frog. But despite these unkind parallels the old inhabitants love their town’s name and entered a vigorous pro- test against a proposition to change it to emsenburg when a wealthy physician who made it his summer home y for tion of a new Presbyterian church, Remsen did not bargain for the honor being godfather to the town but the zealous pastor undertook to thrust that glory upon him and sent a delegation of “prominent citizens” to Washington to pe- tition for a change of the name. Thi w well dressed, respectable appearing folks and the government authorities took it that they spoke for all Speonk and the hame was accordingly changed. The dis- senters were angered when this was made known, entered a protest with the post- master general and refused to worship in the new church, preferring a large tent. | Thus matters stand now, as for some time, and the Speonkers have carried the fight to the point of refusing to receive their mail at “Remsenburg” and going to the next village, greatly to the discomfiture of the postmaster at the old town, whose salary depends upon the volume of busi- pess. It is altogether a curious complica- tion. Speonk should by all means be pre- served for it is too typical a name to be lost. se —_~o ee —_____ A Serviceable Spider. Nature 1s doing the work that man has thus fer failed to do in clearing the rivers of Florida of the water hyacinths that in- fest that region. These plants have filled the streams and in many places have com- obstructed navigation. The situa- tion grew to be se serious that the state asked the government for aid and an offi- of the army was detailed to study the matter and report a remedy, Meanwhile a pider has been hatching out on hyacinths themselves and has become numerous that it is hoped the cure has n found. The spider feeds on the leave stems of the floating plants and in a ort time after the insect has attained its growth the hyacinth dies and floats away, its roots no longer intertwining with those | of its neighbors to cover the stream with an almost solid surface. Bunches of the hy $ bearing the spiders have been di through the waters that are most ricusly obstru the cours | | pletely | | so of a year or two the now choked streams will have been restored to i | commerce.

The Foundling Hospital jem, Public sympathy in the case of the found- ling hospital now beiug investigated by the nd jury on the complaint of neighbors who aver that it is a nuisance is necessarily Froh somewhat influenced by opposing senti- ments. On the one hand is the condolence w h most citizens will feel for those re- siding near such an institution when they find themselves disturbed at night by the cries of the unfortunate little ones in the hospital. Esp-cially in summer such a disturbance is a great annoyance and it is not to be wondered at that the neighbors have in this instance felt obliged to com- plain in self-defense. Yet it must not be forgotten that this is a necessary institu- tion, that it is doing a noble work and that it is probably conducted with all possibie regard for the rights of those living near by. There must be such establishments tn all large cities, for everywhere will there be the need tor the ald of charity in caring | for the orpkans and abandoned infants who would otherwise die from neglect. No more beautiful work can be undertaken py the people and as there are limitations to the means of those engaged in these Chris- tian enterprises it is unavoidable that ta time the founiling asylums should be sur- rounded by the ordinary city conditions. At would’ be ideal, of course, if the institu- tions could be located far beyond the possi- bility of such complications, but this re- quires large expenditures and involves dif- ficulties that can not easily be overcome It often happens that the hospitals and asylums are built upon ground specifically xiven by charitable persons and !t is out of question for the gift to be relinguished merely because of the possibility that in time the place will be surrounded by resi- dents who will be annoyed by the neces- sary noises attendant upon the care of a large number of little ones. These items ted and ii is believed that | must be taken into strict account in con- sidering the question. The weight of sym- pathy should rest with the institution, as worthy of every aid which the citizens can extend to such a noble undertaking. If it should be held that the nuisance is intoler- able a way out of the difficulty could be found in affording the hospital an oppor- tunity to mové to a more secluded section by supplying the means which are now lacking for so important a step. It ts impossible to expect that the crying in- fants can be hushed, for the little sufferers are now being carefully and skilfully treat- ed and the best possible is undoubtedly done for them. A spirit of tolerance and patience must prevail in all dealings with these establishments. ——~+e2—___ It is reported that the strikers are gain- ing ground every day.

It has run for nearly years. And it'll run for fifty years inquired “Well, that's pretty good, of course. But I don't see any sense In making so much to do about a litle thing like a century run.” Scente E Desired. m| a splendid opportunity the patriotic resident of the District gazed at the new corps of street- sweepers. “A splendil opportunity,” he repeated, with a regretful sigh. ‘In what way?” his friend inquired, “In dressing all those men in white.” “Do you onject to white suits Not if they are used in moderation. But y ought to have had some red ones 2nd some blue ones. Then as a man stood at the Peace monument and look-d toward the treasury he would have the Joy of seeing Pennsylvania avenue turned into one ma- Jestic, rippling American flag!” At a Disadvantage. “I tell you,” remarked the sultan as he ruefully surveyed a threatening communi- cation from the powers, “this thing of being an absolute monarch has its draw- backs.” “But you surely do not favor a republi- can form of government?” But it must be a great comfort to a man who is sure to get the worst of a deal, to be able to announce his intention to retire from the cares of politics.” “We've said as h Pickaninny Jim's Ambition.

He did not ask for an audience for the ex-queen, and volunteered the information that she has nothing to “ask of the President, but that he did not feel it would be courteous to leave the city without making a personal call." The “duke” found the President en- gaged with Senator Hanna, First Assist- ant Secretary of State Day and Capt.

Investor. July 1, 1897 finds this country in a ma- terially better condition than on January 1, 1807. It may not have been easy to note an improvement from day to day, but when the half year is taken under review, the improvement is seen to be of a very solid character.
