B “How the Gales Caine Ajar.”
Twa-s whispered one morning in heaven
♦low the little white angel May
.at ever beside the portal
i ’orrowing all the day.
dow she said to the stately warden—
r He of the golden bar—
! “O angel sweet angel! I pray you,
Let the beautiful gates ajar—
Only a iittie I pray you,
Let the heavenly gates ajar.”
I can hear my dear mother there weeping
She is lonely; she cannot see
A glimmer of light in the darkness
Where the gates closed after me.
One gleam of the golden splendor,
O warden would shine so far,
But the angel he whispered “I dare not
Let the beautiful gates ajar”
But the angel he whispered ‘‘I dure not
Let the beautiful gates ajar.”
Then up rose Mary tlie blessed,
Sweet Mary tlie mother of Christ:
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and her touch sufficed.
Then turned was the key in the portal
Fell ringing the golden bar;
And lo! in the little child’s Angers
Stood the beautiful gates ajar;
And lo! in the little child’s Angers
Stood the heavenly gates ajar.
And this key for no further using,
To my blessed Son shall be given.
Said Mary the mother of Jesus,
Teilderest heart in heaven.
Now, never a sail eyed mother,
But may catch the glory afar,
Since safe in the Lord Christ’s bosom
Are the keys of tho'gates ajar;
Safe hid in the dear Christ’s bosom,
And tlie gates forever ajar. /

WASHINGTON LFTTEB.
Regular Correspondence.
Dir. Blame has by direction of the
President, made public a statement
of the negotiations between him¬
self and Italian minister, which led
ii]i to the international sensation of
this week—the sudden recall of the
Italian minister by his government,
because of dissatisfaction on account
of non-action by our Government
in regard to its demands for the
punishment of the New Orleans
“Main” lynchers, and the payment ot
a money indemntity to the fainlies
of the Italian subjects lynched.
Mr. Blaine shows in a highly
creditable and dignified style that
this Government had taken proper
and reasonable steps to ascertain
whether any of the men lynched
were subjects of Italy, and that the
Italian government for reasons of its
own had, before waiting for any
definite information on that subject,
recalled its Minister in a manner that
was intended in a manner to be
highly discourteous, not say actually
insulting.
There is but one sentiment here,
and that is against this senseless hit
of bluster on the part of the
Macaroni eaters. Ttaly has a very
strong navy consisting of some of
the strongest vessels afloat, but her
treasury is practically bankrupt and
her credit isn’t good in the money
markets of the world, to say nothing
of her ticklish and uncertain position
during the present “strained rela¬
tions’’ between the great Eurnpenn
powers, so that it is evident that war
isn’t tlie object of her precipitate
action.
What then is the object? Surely
King Humbert docs not believe that
he can frighten us, I give him credit
for having better seose than to think
that possible. Those familiar with
the present condition of Italian
affairs have several reasons by which
to account for the figurative slap
in the face that government has
given Uncle Sam. In the first place
there has been a recent change in
the ministry over there, which
amounts to about the same as a
change of administration with us,
and the new ministry may have
been desirous of getting rid of their
minister to the United States, and
have taken this decidedly dramatic
way of doing it; another reason,
and a good one, is that in order to
keep up its immense war armament
the ministry foresaw that an increase
of taxation was inevitable, and in
order to make its collection easier
they got up this war scare; but
according to private cable advices,
there is another and more potent
reason—the “Mafa” in Italy is said
to have compelled King Humbert
and his ministry to act as directed.
This last may or" may not be true,
but if true, if would not be the first
time that this society of thieves and
murderers has dictated the policy of
the Italian government.
There is no excitement here over
the situation, and it is probable that
Mr. Harrison is devoting more time
to arranging the details of his across
the continent trip, upon which he
has decided to start April 15, than
upon what Italy’s next step will be.
There is some dissatisfaction in
the Bureau of Engraving and Print¬
ing because Secretary Foster de¬
clined to act upon request made by
the Kinghts of Labor, which pre¬
sented a grievance against the
American Federation of labor men
employed in the bureau, and also
charges against Capt, Meredith,
chief of the bureau. This is a re¬
vival of an old trouble in that
institution.
Commissioner of Pensions Raum
may be perfectly honorable and
honest in all his private transactions,
and I think he is, but there is no
denying the fact that he has had the
ill luck to get mixed up in a lot of
things that appear to the general
public to be questionable. The
latest charge against him is that a
suburban real estate company of
which he is president, the object of
which was to build a miniature city,
bad collapsed after collecting some¬
thing like 830,000 from its stock
holders, who are principally office
holders, many of them said to be
under Gen. Raum, and that the
money paid into the company has
not been properly accounted for.
Commissioner of Indian affairs
Morgan is very postive that there
will be no trouble among the Indians
this spring. He insists that liars
are plentiful in the Indian country
and thatit is they who originate the
sensational stories constantly making
their appearance in the newspapers.
Ex-Congressman Carter, of Mon¬
tana, has taken charge of the general
land office, as Commissioner.
The new law enacted by the last
Congress, imposing additional re¬
strictions upon immigration, went
into effect on Wednesday of this
week, with the exception of the
clauses creating an immigration
buteau in the treasury department,
but making no appropriation there¬
for. This bureau will not be estab¬
lished unless the Attorney General,
to whom the matter has been re¬
ferred, shall decide that the act
necessarily carried an appropriation, will do.

It needs no argument to prove
that a hungry indi n can readily be
come a bad Indian. Hunger will
make a savage out of the meekest
man or beast; therefore it behooves
the Indian Bureau of the Govern¬
ment to see that no Indians go hun¬
gry through the fault of its agents.
In two years it will lie difficult to
find a man opjtosed to tlie election
of United States Senators by direct

new idea is once adopted it will be
still more difficult to find a Senator
whose election is tainted by the
charge of bribery, a task which is
uow, alas, entirety too easy.
