A WOMAN’S LOVE.
Seest thou the river surging toward the
sea,
Georgia’s Senator Says Dem
ocrats Will Not Obstruct,
WILL BE NO LONG, SPEECHES.
Perfectly Willing for the Republicans
to Bring About the Promised
Prosperity if They Can.
Senator Clay, who has made a
careful study of the situation and
the conditions in the senate since
he became a member of that body,
tells me that he thinks there is no
good ground for the republican
apprehension that the administra
tion tariff bill will be held up by
needless debate.
Of course from the 'republican
standpoint every jvord which is
uttered, against the measure might
he called needless. But what the
senator means is that the debate
will not go beyond the limits
which a great measure of this kind
involving principles of govern
ment demands.
This is a confirmation of my
statement of the democratic posi
tion from the first. It comes from
an excellent source, for Georgia’s
junior senator is not a man to
make a declaration of this nature
without having fully investigated.
He is the last man I know who
would “fly off the handle.”
On the Tariff BUL
“ I believe the democratic atti
tude toward the administration’s
will be one of perfect
measure
ciples, and it will be essentially
fair, ” said Mr. Clay when ques
tioned. “ The republicans will
send over from the house the tar
iff bill which will be the work of
the republican members of the
ways and means committee. -That
hill is, I understand, prepared, and
will doubtless have the full ap
proval of President McKinley
when it is submitted to the house.
The democratic members of the
committee will have had nothing
to do with the making of that bill
and the republican members of the
house outside of the committee
will have to swallow it as an en
tirety without beiDg given an op
portunity to make suggestions
concerning specific items in which
they or their constituents are in
terested. But despite this fact
the bill, being the administration
measure, will, I understand, be
rushed through the house.
In the Senate.
“ W hen it reaches the senate it
will be sent to the proper commit
tee and there considered. Doubt
less many amendments will be
proposed; but such a bill as the re
publican members of the commit
tee can agree on will, I presume,
be reported back to the senate
without any unnecessary delay.
There the democrats will debate
the measure, pointing out prima
rily that.no change in the present
tariff is necessary, and enunciating
their views and the views of their
party upon this great question.
After a free discussion, in which
the democrats will take the oppor
tunity to show where they stand,
pointing out, as they will, the
weak points in this bill, which is
promised as a prosperity producer,
1 believe they will, permit the
question to come to a vote with
out any needless filibustering. If
the republicans have the neces
sary votes they can pass the bill.
I think there is no doubt but they
have enough votes to put through
any tariff bill, but they will not,
of course, get these votes from the
democrats, nor could they expect
us to vote for their bill even if it
is heralded as an administration
measure. *
“ Of one thing yon may he cer
tain,” continued Senator Clay,
“there will be no silver ri(ler on
the tariff bill. I believe the dem
ocrats are perfectly willing to per
mit the republicans to go before
the country with this administra
tion plan of relief and are willing
that the republican party should
e judged by the results—that is,
whether they can bring about per
manent prosperity or not.”
The Financial Question.
“What about financial legis
lation? ” I asked.
“Judging by the president’s
message, his purpose is to secure
the passage, at this session, of a
bill creating some sort of a mone
tary commission, whose duties it
will be to investigate and report
m the next congress. It seems
that the republicans are very
widely at sea as to what changes
in the present laws their party
should advocate. Whether they
can all be brought together in fa
vor of a bill providing for a com
mission is something which it is
impossible at present to state. I
think the democrats will not pre
vent their passing such a bill if
they have the votes to do it.
When such a bill comes before the
senate, the democrats will un
doubtedly show the futility and
usefulness of such a commission,
the only effect of which would be
to delay the prompt restoration of
silver to its place as primary
money. But I do not think there
will be any filibustering against the
passage of a bill providing for
such a commission.”—Ohl in At
lanta Constitution.
IN ATLANTA’S MIRROR.
Daltonian’s Appearance Through the Even
ing Constitution. .
From the Evening Constitution
of Atlanta, dated Monday, March
consistency with democratic prin-Tfi, we clip the following item for
the perusal of tbe Daltonians:
One of the most interesting lit
erary organizations in the State,
and one that accomplishes a great
deal of work, is the Lesche, a club
composed of a number of maids
and matrons of Dalton.
This little city of Dalton, in the
north Georgia mountains, seems,
by the way, to have an atmosphere
infested with literary germs. Sev
eral people who are attaining an
enviable-degree of prominence in
literary work hail from within its
confines. Notable among these is
the novelist, Will N. Harben..
Robert Loveman, who has recently
issued a dainty little volume of
poems, which is artistic inside-and
out, is another notable. He ap
pears in print constantly on the
pages of our leading magazines
also. Mrs. Gertrude Manly Jones
is o*ne of the most charming per
sons, literary or otherwise, in Dal
ton. She has recently printed a
collection of her poems, most of
which appeared in the Constitution
from time to lime, in a modest lit
tle volume entitled “Aunt Char
ity’s ’Ligious Speriences, and
Other Poems.” Mrs, Jones is de
voted to her home life, and her
poems were collected and printed
at the solicitations of her friends,
and more to gratify and please
them than to win fame or shekels.
Mrs. Jones is naturally one of the
leading spirits of the Lesche club.
This winter the club has been
studying the history and philosophy
of ancient Greece. Ihis part of
the club’s work began in Septem
ber, 1896, with the formative per
iod of Grecian history, and going
on through the legendary age and
the Homeric period with its litera
ture and art. Then came the
Graeco-Persian wars ; a study of
«the father of history,” with criti
cisms on the style of Herodotus
and extracts from modern essays.
All of this has furnished a rich
field for study and the further
progress of the work will continue
to delight these lovers of classical
lore. Grecian history is the basis
of the work, and the papers and.
topics are simply the outgrowth or
developing of points thrown out
in the regular lessons.

Resistless, silent, never, never ceasing,
Forgetful oft and spreading o’er the lea,
But never lessening nor decreasing?
Seest thou the needle, pointing toward
the star,
Straight as an arrow to the target
speeding?
It trembles oft but never varies far,
And to its object turns all else un-
- • heeding?
Seest thou the pristine dew-drop on the
rose, .
And- nestling close against its petals
blushing?
With heaven’s crystal purity it glows,
And scatters only fragrance for its
crushing.
Know’st thou the sweets of friendship’s
holy love,
The image of thine own true love’s
reflection,
The gratitnde that cometh from above,
That sweetest confidence and true
affection?
But stronger than tbe river’s surging
power,
And truer than the needle’s faultless
moving,
Sweeter than friendship, and purer than
the flower,
Is woman’s perfect and unselfish
loving.
—D. G. B. in Georgia Cracker.
Small Industries.
Nothing contributes so much
and so broadly to the well being
of a town as small industries.'
When of the right kind, nothing
pays so handsomely, so far as the
investment goes.
But, there is a philanthropic
side to the question of small in
dustries. They provide means of
support to those who may not be
able to obtain employment in the
larger manufactories. Many of
the towns of New England and of
the rest have been created and
maintained by the little establish
ments which have offered labor to
the women and children who, in
time, have not only contributed
to the population, but have aided
iu the enhancement of its pros
perity. These smaller enterprises
beget contentment, peace and pros
perity. Indirectly they contribute
to health and intelligence also.
That they lessen vice and crime,
is a proposition too clear to de
mand demonstration.
' Just in this connection mention
might be . made of a tannery, a
manufactory of cheap furniture, a
brick kiln, a harness manufaotoiy,
a knitting mill and, indeed, many
others. All these are possible and
would result, if established here
in the circulation of much capital,
in the relief of much idleness, in
the banishment of much vice, in
the creation of much contentment,
in the establishment of many happy
homes. We decidedly favor the
establishment and maintenance of
small industries.—Exchange.
