EXPECTA NTCY.
8nmr day. some day. 'twill all come riulit;
The tangled skeins will all unwind,
And wc will grasp the colors bright
And leave tlie somber threads behind.
The sun is slow and rest is sweet.
Yet fears draw ’round us when it sets.
And sorrow comes with winged feet—
A joy hut heralds new regrets.
E'en while we taste, sweet draughts will
turn
To bitterness that hurts us sore:
We learn to love, and, loving, learn
To feel the loved one’s loss the more;
And yet, when Henson's light grows pale
There shines through darkness still a ray
uf faith untaught which cannot fail,
And leads us onward to perfect day.
Life For Life is Still the Law.

Throe Legislatures have under dis
cussion propositions to abolish tlie
dentil penalty. Aftor fifty years of
agitation there are only five Stntes in
.which the dentil penalty is forbidden
by law—Colorado, Rhode Island,
Maine, Michigan and Wisconsin. In
Michigan I hero is a strong agitation
for itn restoration. Iowa once abol
ished the dentil penalty, later restored
It, and Inter again abolished it.' Va
rious arguments, of which it would he
impossible to give oven n synopsis,
are employed by those favoring and
those opposing. Tlie principal points
used by tlie ndvocnlos of the change
are that capital punishment Is brutal
ising, that it does not act an a inner-
rent to crime, and that it detents tlie
ends of justice by making juries re
luctant to convict when they know
that a vordlct of guilty will carry with
It the death sentence. A New York
case is cited in which a convict, sen
tenced to life imprisonment for mur
der, was proved innocent and par
doned alter serving twenty-two
yoate.
It is dlflloult to see wherein this man
would have been benefited iiad tim
death penalty boon abolished prior to
hie trial. That it was not imposed
upon him Is, in itsolf, evidence either
el niitgating circumstances or of rea
sonable doubt, and had his lnnoconce
not boon proved, ids life sent once
would Htill stand. It is also argued
by those opposed to the abolition of
the death penalty that capltnl punish
ment does dolor from crime, as shown
by careful investigations; that con
victs under a life sentence nre a dan
gerous charge, because if they murder
their keepers no heavier penalty than
that which they are already undergo
ing can lie imposed, nnd that through
the abuse of the pardoning powor tlie
average term of life imprisonment lms
been reduced to conlluonient of about
ten years. Tlie constant filling up of
our prisons, placing heavy burdens
upon the public, is also cited. How
ever, tho agitations have not been
without fruit. In nbout twenty Slates
the court may substitute life luijiris-
Anmeut, either at its own discretion
or upon the recommendation of tlie
Jury, and in Now York, Massachu
setts and Ohio tlie electric chair has
been substituted for the hangman’s
rope,
No other pills enn equal DeWitt’s

Moscow.
The Saturday Review'.
In Russia everything is large and
everything Is loud. Moscow is like
an immense village, and everything
in it is built broad, not high, because
there Is bo much space to cover. The
public squares, unpaved and sur-
rouuded by n little rim of cobhies, are
as big as meadows. The arcades and
passages, with their cellars below,
their shops above, their glass roofs,
are so enormous that they could hold
the Passage des Panoramas, and the
Burlington Arcade, and the galleries
at MUad, without tilling more than a
corner of them. Colors shriek and
flame; the Muscovite eye Bees only
by emphasis and by contrast; red is
completed either by another red or
by a bright blue. There are no shades,
no reticences, no modulations. The
restaurants are tilled with the din of
vast mechanical organs, with drums
and cymbals; a great bell clashes
against a chain on all the trams, to
clear the road; the music which one
hears is a ferocity of brass.
Tlie masons who build the houses
build in top boots, red shirts and pink
trousers; tho houses are painted red
or green or blue; the churches are
like tho temples of savage idols, tor
tured into every unnatural shape and
colored every glaring color. Bare
feet, osier sandals, and legs swathed
in rags pass to and fro among the top
boots of the middle classes, the pat
ent leather boots of tlie upper classes,
like the inner savage of a race still so
near barbarism, made evident in that
survival of the footgear of primitive
races.
Feelings of safety pervade the
household that uses One Minute

dy that produces immediate results.

Government of Philippines.
Chicago Rooord.
Ever since the arrival of the Phil
ippine commission in Manila frag
mentary plans for the government of
tlie islands have been promulgated by
the commissioners. The latest of
these defines the powers of the com
mission to be similar in character to
thorn of a Legislature or Congress.
So far as tlie Filpiuos are concerned,
it is unlikely that they take more than
a languid interest iu the commission
or its doings. Probably the bulk of
tlie unlives nre looking forward to
the withdrawal of the Uulted States
troops from the archipeiego in case
Mr. Bryan shall be elected President,
and as hope is one of the most no
ticeable characteristics of tho Filipino
it is natural that lie should be more
intent upon the possibilities of next
November’s election than that he
should care much for the outgivings
of a body wiiose existence he expects
will terminate In a few months.
Thero is one way in which the at
tention of the Filipino may be at
tracted more certainly than any other,
namely, by an announcement by
President McKinley of the policy to
ward the Philippine islands that he
will recommend to Congress In case
he should be elected for a second
term. The American people also
would be deeply interested In suoh a
.statement. Manifestly the President
either knows what his policy will be
or he does not. If he has a well-de
fined plan In his mind which he will,
submit to Congress, or which he will
try to carry out by executive acts
without the aid of Congress, there Is
no reason why he should not let the
people of this country as well as the
Filipinos know what he has in view
for the islands.
Mr. Bryan’s plan is to move our
soldiers out of the Philippines as soon
as we have established a stable gov
ernment there, and then to trail the
red mantle of the Monroe doctrine be
fore the horns of any European bull
which may feel that it has a mission
to toss the Filipino republio on its
horns. While the Democratic candi
date’s plan is open to serious objec
tions, it is at least definite. The voter
knows what he has to expect from
Mr. Bryan’s election. The Republican
candidate should be equally explicit.
Until some such information is sup
plied the utterances of the Philippine
commission are of no particular con
sequence to tho people of the Philip
pines or to the people of the United
States.
A Poor Worker,
No man or woman can work well,
mentally or physically, nor perform
effective service of any kind, who is
burdened with a torpid liver. Consti
pation and deficient secretion of bile
have clogged up the organs of the
body so that they cannot keep up the
energy to the proper standard; hence,
weariness, headaches, depression,
fickle appetite result. All this can be
changed with a few doses of Prickly
Ash Bitters. It cleanses the system
thoroughly, flushes the excretory
canals, drives out impurities, imparts
new life to the vital organs and re
establishes healthy functional activity,
I which brings with it energy, strength,
vigor of body and brain and cheerful
spirits. Price, $1.00 per bottle. Sold

Power of the Press.
Persident Barton O. Aylesworth de
livered a very able address before the
late gathering of the Colorado Edito
rial Association, saying among other
things:
“If you name any good things in
the world I will show you that the
press is its common carrier to take it
to the people. I think not only of
the great dalles—they are the cap
tains—but I think also of the able
hosts, the weekly journals.
“I think not alone of the famous
men in the watch-towers, signaling
and guiding, but nlso of the busy,
over-worked, obscure, faithful hordes
who work on the levels below; sub
editors, reporters, compositors, down
to the newsboy who cuts the morning
air with his sibilant or nasal heralding
of the great world’s doings and mis
doings.
“A great company it is, with greater
temptation to be cowardly and time
serving than has any other body of
men on earth, but who, iu my judg
ment, are as a whole the least
cowardly and the least truculent.
“You can make and.end wars. You
can elect and regulate rulers. Senates,
Congresses and Cabinets listen for the
grouudswell from the cylinders of
the printing room. Creeds grow gro
tesque and unlovely under your elec
tric light. Spurious reforms dwindle
and sicken Into unmarked graves
when you have put the death mark
on them. Crime hides from your
lynx-eyed searchers and cuts its
deeds in half. Good and kindly
enterprises sprout and flourish to a
rich harvest under your frnctifying
sunlight.
“Don’t be ashamed of the pen.
Moses used it on tables of stone amid
the mountains trembling, that the
ages might read the laws. The Naza-
rene used it as He wrote in the sand
and gave the sinner another chance.
Paul used it when he widened Chris
tianity from Judiasm to the would. It
made the Magna Charta. It wrote
the Declaration of Independence and
the act of emancipation.
“The angel guard of all the world
is represented as penning oar life’s
record and names in the Book of
Life.” _
It Happened in a Drug Store.
“One day last winter a lady came
to my drug store and asked for a
brand of cough medicine that I did
not have in stock,” sayB Mr. C. R.
Graudin, the popular druggist of On
tario, N. Y. “She was disappointed
and wanted to know what cough prep
aration I could recommend. I said to
her that I could freely recommend
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, and that
she could take a bottle of the remedy
aud after giving it a fair trial if she
did not find it worth the money to
bring back the bottle and I would re
fund the price paid. In the course of
a day or two the lady came back in
company with a friend in need of a
cough medicine nnd advised her to
buy a bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. I consider that a very good
recommendation for the remedy.” It

Rose Culture.
Longman’s Magazine.
You must prune properly and you
must disbud. So important are these
two points that it is almost possible
to draw a rigid line dividing the roses
of amateurs into two classes—those
which are properly pruned and dis
budded, and those which are not
pruned, or absurdly pruned, and not
disbudded.
By proper pruning is meant cutting
down the bealthy’shoots of the pre
vious year to five or six eyes, and cut
ting all the weak and dead and very
old wood right out. Some people
object to catting their plants low, on
the ground that it diminishes the fo
liage, or is contrary to nature, or for
some other reason equally trivial. If
we left nature to do its work in pre
cisely its own way, our gardens would
soon become hopeless tangles, while
as for the foliage, you would get an
abundance if you cut to the crowns.
Disbudding, in the limited sense in
which I have used the term, means
merely removing the numerous small
buds which usually surround tlie cen
tral calyx as soon as they appear.
Nothing is lost by doing so. If the
large flower is eventually cut, tho
small buds are necessarily taken with
it; and if it is nllowed to remain upon
the tree, they come at best to a crab
bed maturity beneath its fading pet
als. The very general neglect of an
operation so trifling and so important
as this is difficult to understand. No
chrysanthemum grower, however
small his stock and lukewarm his in
terest, would think of failing to dis
bud. The habit once acquired, it be
comes a mechanical process almost
unconsciously performed, and must
not be confused with the far more
drastic measures of the exhibitor, who
removes not only his bnds but all his
more weakly shoots, in order to
throw adventitious strength Into the
few especially vigorous ones—a prac
tice which is quite unnecessary for
the purpose of the ordinary grow
er.
Borne picture frames are hung be
cause of their gilt—and so are some
men.
