There are peoplo whose nat-ural bent for politics make them useful public servants, whereas in other occu-pations they might prove failures; and vice versa it does not follow that schol-ars and artists and poets, .however gifted in their own spheres, would of necessity be the best men to conduct our government.

Boston Evening Transcript. The summer girl adds yearly zest To paragraphero' lance, But why not change ths theme, and give The summer man a chancer That desolate, neglected wretch, Whose wife and children roam By mountain stream or curling sutr. While he stands guard at home. Where empty rooms Italicize The voiceless, silence place, And millers tilt, unchallenged, by To disappear In space. Imagination falnely paints The freedom of his way Amuemnnts, dinners and the like, With voyage down the bay. That liberty which thrills to tael The curb of home removed, And rove at will without restraint In paths not quite approved. Where latch key's click strikes no remorse However late the hour, And solitude alone holds sway Within my lady's bower. Eeallty such romance pricks, lti bubble is a sham; A solemn, lone, domestic trump Heaven help the summer man : We regret that Judge Zane should havo deemed it necessary to cast sus-picion upon the character of Harry S. MeCallum, unless he had Indubitable proof of his guilt. Tub Times would uot condone a crime against the sacred-nes- a of the ballot In anybody, but to fasten it diroctly and by name upon a young man of hitherto unblemished repute and honorable ambition so It must militate against his future career Is unfortunate when a more general reference might have served the objects of justice just as well. We would rather have a man held up for y after the grand Jury has sifted the evidence and found a true bill against him. Tiik house of representatives yester-day passed the senate bill with amend-ments transferring the weather bureau from the war department to the agri-cultural department.. It Is a strange anomaly that the army should have ever had charge of a purely scientific service intended wholly for the benefit of commerce and agriculture. We hope the amendment made by the house will not be irreconcilable with the sense of thcFenute bill and that the weather bureau will bo duly transferred to the agricultural department so that its use-fulness and efficiency may bo improved. Take In Keefs Before You Sail. And now a few words of caution, and you need not bo ashamed to heed them, for old yachtsmen do just what I ma about to adviso you to do. It is only the foolhardy greenhorn sailor who "takes chances" with a yacht. In equally weather never fasten the sheet; always reef before you start, and if the wind is very strong tako two reefs. It is easy to "shake them out," but hard to put them in; so reef before you cast off. Never take ladies and children with you in bad weather, and generally, if you are taking out u party of that kind, keep your boat under reefed canvas. Then if emer-gency arises your sacred trust is safe; for remember that a capsize with ludies and children means almost certain death to somo, perhaps to all. It is wise also to have a small rowboat in tow on such occasions, for it is worth more than a hundred life preservers. F. W. Pang-bor- n in St. Nicholas. . . ARRIVALS AND CLOSE OF MAILS.'

SEPTEMBER 18, 1890. A VERY VITAL MATTER. Since the adoption - of the Aldrich amendment to tho tariff bill, which in effect stipulates that all goods imported since August 1st must be withdrawn from bond by October 1st or else pay tho increased duties, petitions are flood-ing congress to extend the term all the way from November 1st to February 1st. Ordinarily little importance would attach to this matter, since it affects but one class, to wit, the importers, but the present stringency of tho money market renders it an object of solicitude to all tho country. When the JIcKinloy tariff bill was introduced in the house of representa-tives and it became reasonably certain that it would pass, the importers of for-eign goods on which an increased duty was expected to be raised, did what evocy business man under like circum-stances would be liable to do they placed large orders for merchandise abroad so as to profit by the difference in the old iind new tariff. As a result all tho bonded warehouses in the vari-ous ports of entry are tilled with mer-chandise that has come in since August 1st and is still coming in. The impor-ters had no idea that they would be com pel hid by the adoption of an amendment in the senate to with-draw their goods from bond on short notify or pay the higher duty and therefore their consternation may be better imagined than described. On the other hand the home manufacturers are well satisfied with the term fixed becausa they wish to be benefited as early as possible by a reduction In the intensity of foreign competition. So far it is a light between importers and manufacturers, or one class against the other. Whore the trouble comes iu for the country and threatens to affect disas-trously the people at largo, is this, that if the Aldrich amendments agreed to in conference and the objectionable provision put in effect on October 1st, it will involve the sudden, withdrawal of an immense capital on that day from general circulation to pay the duties on all the merchandise now in bond. Var-ious authorities estimate the amount variously from $20,000,000 upwards, but bq it even as low as the minimum esti-mate, tho present condition of the money market renders tho experiment a critical one. It is possible that con-gress considers itself as good a judge on the financial situation of the country as any other body of men, but yet il would be folly to push a measure that even indirectly might bring about a We all know how the treasury opa'rtmcnt had to exert all its energy and exercise all its ingenuity to ease the stringency of the money market during the last few weeks. vr the reason that tho secretary can oniy pur-chase bonds and pay interest on the four per cents, which Mr. Windom is now doing to as great an extent as he can, And now to demand, as the Aid-ric- h amendment practically does, that a vast sum of money should bo tied up in the treasury vaults with no means of it immediately reverting to tho channels of trade, is a hazardous thing at this particular time. Wo don't know what influences tho manufacturers exercise over congress, though we know that their liberal cam-paign contributions make thorn a pow. crful factor in politics, but we do not believe they can afford to encourage a panlo for tho sake of a few weeks during which their gains will be largo enough, though not so large as the change in the tariff bill will make them hereaftor. Common sonso and the common good would suggest a reason-able compromise. Sknatou is an irrepressible crank on constitutional (intendments, yet the one proposed by him yesterday giving the right of suffrage to the Dis-trict of Columbia is thoroughly com-mendable. No reason In ihe world ex-ists why the capital of tho United t tales should alono bo excluded Iroin the highest privileges of American c tizen-shi- And the cry still goes forth.

The Fifth National bank of Provi-denc-o, R. I., lent $!),000 to ,a produce dealer named Alserson, taking as security 383 cases of eggs stored with a warehouse company. Alserson used the eggs from ' time to time, but replaced those taken by other eggs, so that there were always 333 cases m tho warehouse. Finally ho failed, paying six cents oh the dollar, and the bank looked for its security, the eggs. When the bank finally sent for the eggs thoy were worthless, and the board of health ordered them buried, which was done. Now the bank sues the warehouse company in tho supreme court for $3,000, claiming that they agreed to koep tho eggs safe, and the company claims that it kept the eggs safe, not a shell being broken, but that it could not prevent thorn- from spoiling.

It will have 8 tiers of boxes, 280 altogether, 180 dressing rooms for the artistes, a stago of 105 feet wide and 282 feet deep, and a drive from the ground to the roof, whereby carriages can be got on to the top and drawn among tho fountains and plants there displayed.

A Doctor's Bill. Dr. W. B.

Ho considers his services valued at $100 a visit. Tho items of the bill are instructive to those who are contemplating death, leaving a reasonably large estate to covor tho physician's bill: Niueteeu visits at $100 per visit, $1,900; 130 hours' night deten-tion at $10 each, $1,300; medicines d, $10; operation Jan. 10, $200; op-eration two times a day for five days, tit $20 each, $200; total, $3,010; paid on ac-count, $100.

Veasey, the present commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, it may beof interest to the readers of Thk Times to know something of his military and political history. The Grand Army Record, published in Boston, furnishes the following data. Col. Veasey was born in Rookingham county, N. H., about iifly-thre- e years ago, graduated at Dartmouth collt-g- and tho Albany Law school, and had just begun the practice of law at Springfield, Vt., when the war of the rebellion broke out. llo enlisted as a private in the Third Ver-mont volunteers early in 1801, was chojen captain and promoted to bo major and lieutenant colonel that sum-mer, lie. was appointed colonel of the Sixteenth Vermont infantry, a new regiment which, under his able command, became one of the host drilled and effective regiments in the union army. It was a part of Stau-nard'- s Second Vermont brigade at the battle of Gettysburg, and made the famous assault upon Pickett's right flank, then changed front and striking Wilcox's division upon, its left, flank, contributed greatly to tho repulse of Longstreet's corps and the liual victory on that bloody field. At tho point of this successful charge of tho Vermont-er- s on the third day of tho battle, a mo mi inn ut has boen erected with this inscription:' "This stone marks the oulmiualing poiut of the war of the re-bellion." At tho close of his brilliant military service Colonel Voasoy resumed the practice of law in partnership with Kedlield Proctor, tho present secretary of war. He acted as reporter of tho decision' of , the supreme court of Vermont, publishing nine volumes of reports. In 1871) ho was chosen a judge of the aforesaid court aud acted as such for ten years with distinguished ability. In 1889 he was appointed by President Harrison a member of tho inter-stat-commission, and this oflice ho holds at the present time. In 1887. Dartmouth college conferred upon him tho degree of LL. D. In every department of publio life, Commander-in-Chie- f Veasey, has prov-ed himself a patriot, soldier and states-man of stainless reputation and he will be welcomed by comrades and citizens in this city with hearty enthusiasm.

Wash-ington Cor. Boston Transcript, A Drnssels Waterloo Monument. By desire of the Dukaof Cambridge and the members of tho Lo.idon commit-tee for tho erection of the Waterloo monument at the Cemetery of Evore, near Brussels, it has been definitely ar-ranged that the inscription on tho monu-ment shall run as follows: "In memory of the British officers, officers and men who fell during the Waterloo campaign in 1815, and whose remains were transferred to this ceme-tery in 1889. This monument is erected by her Britannic majesty Queen Victoria, empress of India, and by their country-men, on n site generously presented by the city of Brussels. Morluorum Patria Mentor." Cor.
