WATERHOUSE. — — THE COMING SESSION. HE next is the long session of Congress, and if it be devoted Tto the work that lies ahead it will need all of the months in which it may sit. The treasury income and outgo must be brought into better adjustment. This may be done in-several ways. One proposition is to authorize Panama bonds to an amount sufficient to return to the treasury the $50,000,000 paid in the purchase and the subvention to the republic of Panama. Another is to increase internal revenue dyties to bring the income far enough ahead of | the current outgo to leave a surplus that will cover that expenditure. These are the firsg, suggestions that issue from the situation, and doubtless one of them will be adopted. The crux of the session is the railroad rate question, upon which the President is insistent and ‘'which Congress cannot evade. It is one of the greatest issues yet made in ‘connection with the public| control of the policy of quasi-public corporations. There is a gen- eral feeling that it must be settled approximately on the lines laid down by the President, or its appalling alternative, government so- cialism, will leap at the throat of 'our system of government, and there will be a combat in American politics compared with which the questions will seem like child’s play. Slavery rvived and free silver could have been adopted, and ions of representative government would have remained. lism proposes their destruction. Let no one fancy that it 1g fad.

The Representatives and the junior Senator 1e mettle in them to do their part. In our senior Senator, Hon. rge C.

OME years ago Teed founded in San Francisco what he called “The Koreshan Unity.” As no one knew what that meant, it had all the attractions of mystery necessary to the foundation of He found followers and professed to have the S religious fol-de-rol. power to have the human race look at its toes long enough to be- come uni-sexual and self-generative. He belongs to that class of profound fakers who know that the more improbable, unlikely and foolish the teaching, the more apt it is to find followers. Make mys- tery of nonsense, bawl “abracadabra,” and look solemn, claim a su- pernatural power that exists only in the claim and is never exhibited, and out of the mass of humanity will issue a stream of believers, feathered geese, ready to be plucked. Teed went from here to Chicago, and gathered geese feathers enough to make him rich, and went to Florida, where he has set up | a templed establishment and is still pushing his confidence game all over the country. Attention is called to him now by a home in this city broken up by his arts exercised upon a woman. There is talk of appeal to the Federal authorities to suppress him. But for what use? If he'do not break out in a new place another will. As long as there isgrist of that kind there will be a mill of that kind. There seems to be a fixed percentage of people who are ripe on both sides for that sort of deception. It is useless to try to understand them. It makes them happy to be fooled. If their eyes were ever open it is after they have been robbed materially and morally, and even then their fate does not deter others. As long as there are suckers there will be fishermen. The news- papers expose these frauds, and publish broadcast the misery of their awakened victims in vain. The procession of mystery and won- der seekers will not lose a single fool. They will march right on into the traps set by the crafty, the sensual and the greedy. Intelli- gence and education have no effect in diminishing the number who go marvel hunting. An appeal to the law is useless, except for the restoration of goods in case of actual robbery. Character cannot be recovered in a lawsuit, and perhaps is not worth it. R a Russian ailment. From Tiflis to Helsingfors mobs gnaw a file and howl, murder, burn and steal, with an inhuman abandon not equaled before in the history.of man. The Chinese mob at Lienchau showed itself a close second to the Russian mob in the massacre of the Anierican missionary party. The account of that outrage recalls the lurid history of the Russian advance from the Amur River to Peking in the Boxer war, when the Chinese suffered unspeakable outrage at the hands of the Cossacks. The sore suggestion is that missionaries should christianize Christendom so that its armies will not provoke such horrid reprisals. : Like sparks flying from a burning building the mob tinder jumps continents and oceans. American warships are \racing to put out a fire it has started in Santo Domingo, and Brazil has caught the infection and is in an uproar. It is a dry and explosive time. Even in our own sober-minded country the people are in an effer- vescent mood and inclined to raise violent hands against every- thing that is. The nations near to Russia feel the strain of infec- tion and many rulers are roosting uneasily on a powder keg, hoping that it won’t blow up and fearing that it will. Tt is a good time for people everywhere to keep their hedds cool and level. Because one fellow is having a fit in the street let us not all chew our tongues and get sympathctic epilepsy. THE INFECTION OF DISORDER. USSIAN disorder seems to spread like the grip, which is also Arizona preachers want a clause in the State constitution making pu;- hibition perpetual. At that rate the balance of Arizona probably won’t want statehood—Atlanta Journal 7 e to the Governorship and thence to the Senate gave | linary grasp of the requirements of such public trus- | the | 'WHEN UNCLE JOE WAS SICK. HEN Uncle Joe was taken sick a W year or two ago We called a doctor in his case, fer he was middlin’ low, . And the doctor come to ses him, lookin’, | as a doctor can, SBome twelve degrees profounder than is given mortal man. | He viewed my uncle’'s tongue and says, “Hem! hah! er—yes; I see”’; | Then, as he felt of uncle's pulse, “It's | very clear to me | Pernicious microbes here are found.” | “Great guns!” my uncle sald, | “If them there bugs are foolin" raound 1 | might es well be dead!” | Well, uncle was so pesky scairt thers wan't a thing to do Except another doctor call to see if it was true; ‘ And when that second doctor come, more solemn than the first, | He says, “They is bacilli here that fell | disease has nursed.” | “On, say it not,” my uncle moaned [ | ain’t prepared to die,” While father held his tremblin’ hand and | mother wiped his eye. | “Wenl try _agin,” my pa | “Per’aps if heaven’s kind, | “We'll git a doctor soon or late that not a | bug kin find.” | | | The rext physician we called in was ge- remarked. | nial as could be, | But still, he says with bated breath, | “Bacteria here, I see.” Then uncle gave a dretful groan, says, “Alas! alas! Although 1 ain't prepared fer it, I see that I must pass.” We called one doctor more, and he was graver than the rest, And took a kind of dinner horn to hear in uncle's breast, then he shook his head and says “Schizomycetes here!" “Alas!” “says uncle, “I am called, and now the summons hear.” and And Just three days later uncle drew his latest, fleetin’ breath, And I have always some supposed that he was scairt to death; But in his dyin’ hour he called my pa unto his bed. “Jest raise a tombstun o’er me, Si"” in broken words he said, | “And on it carve a epitaph, a simple one, you know: ‘One Joseph Potter lieth here, free from | all earthly woe. He lived to sixty-seven years, and hopes { of heaven was his. The cause of death, as diagnosed, was all the bugs there is." " | | | FABLE OF THE GOOD WOMAN. The soul of a woman who had agreed with President Roosevelt in his views of lrace suicide, and who consequently had | had nine children, whom she had cared for tenderly and lovingly, keeping house for them and her husband, doing the cooking and the mending and the wash- | ing and a thousand other needful things— the soul of this poor woman sought the great, pearly gate and asked for admis- sion. “Come right in,” said the pitiful angel at the gate. “It is recorded that you need rest, and here you shall find it.” So the soul of the good woman entered into the beautiful city. But after about a mpnth—as time is recorded on the earth—the soul of the good woman again approached the angel at the gate, hesitating as if it had some- what to say, but feared to say it. “What is it?" the kind angel asked. “Speak, saintly one; do not be afraid to express thy thought.” So the soul of the woman took courage and she spoke: “Is it permitted that we who are in this abode of the blest may sometimes visit the earth again?” “It is somewhat against the rules, but— well, what do you want?” “Some way, 1 cannot feel that it is right to rest so much when I—when I am sure that my children are needing me. Let me return to earth again for but a little while.” But the angel’s answer, lo! it is not re- corded. Moral—It is hard to believe that some mothers will be quite content, even in heaven until their children come. THE MEADOWLARK’S SONG. The meadowlark sits in the walnut tree, And whistles and whistles a song to me: “Tu-wee, tu-wit— There is naught to it Save a bit of a home, and of love a bit. Tu-wit, tu-wee-— It is clear to me That the home is still where the heart may be.” So whistles the meadowlark unto me As he swings and sings in the walnut tree. The meadowlark sings in the walnut tree, Till the world is a-thrill with the mel- ody: “Tu-wee, tu-wit— 'Twas the dear God writ The song of my love as I swing or fiit; For all of the rest Ne'er cheers the breast Like the tender love in the wee home n 'Oh, meadowlark, teach your song to me, As you swing and swing in the walnut tree.

HEREDITARY POETS OF INDIA WILL BOMBARD THEIR ROYAL - VISITORS WITH ODES GALORE S e b LU HE visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to India_will give the natives unique chances of proving thelr loyalty, for the unofficial programme includes the composing of many poems. Few of them wliil be presented to their Royal Highnesses, but as it takes more than the usual number of - rebuffs to dampen the ardor of the Hindu man of letters, there is little doubt that the dusky bulbuls will unceasingly chant thelr songs of praise in the privacy of the home circle, and if the Prince, whose courtesy and tact are only equaled by his exceeding urbanity, accepts one in every hundred of these remarkable odes, his memory will long be enshrined in the hearts of the Eastern people, says the London Mail. The native aspirant does not follow the metheds employed by our latter-day Eng- lish poets. The art of scanning is un- and other vexatious hindrances which are calculated to check the flow of soul. Provided the last word In each line rhymes, he does not concern himself with other details. 5 ‘With the aid of a dictionary, the Bible, and a Shakespeare, he bends himself to the task, and if he runs short of words in one line he makes up for short weight in another. It may be added that each poem of welcome will mmence, with an “0,” and that as time is no object to a B.A. of Calcutta University, his worst enemy will have no excuse to accuse him of skimping his work. Should the sinews of war fail him, he, of course, has no alternative but to end his poem abruptly —unless some public-spirited friend steps into the breach with a supply of paper. When the Duke of Connaught visited the Delhi Durbar the local poets were busily employed in writing sonnets in his honor. One of these effusions is as follows: *‘O Arthur bright You true knight, To come o'er great seas. Your children, please, In us behold ‘With more than gold In the shape of a hearty welcome. ‘We will ring the bell. Come And Join in toast. It is our very proud boast That you will be here again In spite of all wind and rain.” All epics,. odes, triolets, quatrains and other descriptions of poems written in praise of the royal visitors will be couched in the same extraordinary strain, and many of them are certain to com- “O King!” being followed by “Your son’s the thing,” “The bells must ring,” or “To thee we cling.” The Princess, too, will inspire verses—though not in the gentle breasts of Zenana women for India does not produce lady poets. Doubtless as soon as the vessel touches at Bombay some enterprising gentleman poet will make a bid for the crown of bays by dashing into verse. *“O Princess, What a pretty mess If you h: not braved The wind and rain and ocean wave,” or something very similar may await her Royal Highness. uheTe e The making of poems is, like cobbling, a trade, and the calling is handed down from father to son. Indeed, so conserva- tive are the poets In this respect that should one of their number break away from custom and become a coal heaver or a carpenter, his days are numbered so- clally. Consequently each hamlet has its balladmonger, and it is his business to provide a suitable poem for every birth, marriage and death, while upon special occasions—such as the visit of a Lieutenant Governor or an earth- quake—he is required to invoke the muse until local conditions again be- come normal. An honored member of the village community, the colored bard is not al- lowed to starve should business be slack; a cup of cocoanut milk and a “chupattie” (the equivalent for. the scones o' bonnie Scotland) are his for the asking, and a neighbor’s “hookah” (pipe) is always at his disposal. Sometimes the cunning fellow sug- gests that the consumption of honey, Bombay mangoes, oranges and similar dainties will enable him to turn out work of an inspired nature. Acting upon this hint, maldens who are about to .enter the elusive bonds of matri- .i:vorable conditions, but none afford, and the creature forthwith up- lifts his quivering lyre, and treats the lady to a burst of song. Many a love song has been written under these fa- can—or ever will—compare with the following example, which was written on the oc- caslon of a native marriage in Luck- now: “O come, my Love, Come. I love you from Heart's bottom. Come. come, Come.” The native means of welcoming the royal party is not to be confined to singing their praises. Whenever they arrive in a “station,” Hindus and Mo- hammedans will unite in acclaiming them; the Parsees will hang heavy garlands about the neck of each mem- ber of the suite; Goanee and Eurasian patriots of doubtful complexions al- ready burn to present addresses in which grievances are cunningly aired; and the humble “ryots” (peasants) are certain to journey miles to catch a- glimpse of the “burra Lat Sahib ka butcha” (great Lord’s son), as the Prince is known to the natlves. Half-naked school children will strew the Princeéss’ path with strong- smelling flowers, which have been spe- cially culled for the occasion: the riv- ers will be illuminated with countless floating earthenware lamps; and all mony ply him with the best they can the little native Christian boys and L oL A Characteristic Sketch of One of India’s Hereditary Poets Giving a it Recitation. girls have been taught by the good missionaries to say “Fooray!™ Embroiderers of tablecloths, paint- ers on “talq,” brassworkers, silver- smiths, carvers and other artisans busy themselves all day In making gifts, which they hope will be accepted; “baboo” members of municinalities are brushing up their English, and the guides who conduct parties over the Taj, the Motl Mosque—at Delhl, the residency—at LucRnow, and other show buildings are anxiously rehears- ing the set speeches with which they will display India’s historical and anti- quarian treasures.

HIS LUCKY COIN. The little Norwegian fruit lte&mel’l Alice, Captain Knudsen, which came into port recently from Port Antonio, Jamalca, with 20,000 bunches of banan- as, brought a good luck ha'penny and a romance, says the New York World. The Allce was speeding north on Thursday, when a cyclone storm caught her on the port bow, spinning her around. The Alice dipped and groaned and nearly went under. Edwin Rust, who is the second stew- ard, and William Isaats, another stew- ard, rushed to closé the forward cabin door. The eddying currents caught Rust, hurled him against the side rail and were about to lift him overboard. His hand closed on the rail with a grip for life. The next minute his shipmate reached his side with a line, and Rust was safe. “It was all because I had that ha’- penny in my pocket” explained Rust. “My sweetheart gave me that. She told me it would take care of me, as it took care of her old man. He found it in St. Ann’s Bay, when he was look- TRUE. ~ .
