The Gazette-
TUESDAY, NOV. 23, 1897.
Senators and representatives
already in Washington are discuss-
ing with much interest the prob-
able length of the coming session
of congress. The hope is general
that the coming session may not
exceed six months, but the opinion
is also general that it will depend
entirely on circumstances. 11 no
financial legislation is attempted,
it will be comparatively easy to
complete the business of the ses
sion by the first of June, possibly
as early as the first of May, as no
time will have to be lost in organ
izing and selecting the house com
mittees, as is usual at the begin
ning of the long session; but if
financial legislation of importance
is to be put through the house and
to be attempted in the senate,
everybody may as well make up
their minds to an extended siege,
with probable failure in the end.
Knowing the situation in the
senate, many republicans favor let
ting this legislation alone until it is
certain that something can be ac
complished. They argue that the
agitation that would necessarily
accompany an attempt to legislate
on the subject would hurt business
and could do no cood

Dingley tariff must also be con cod
ed. Whatever may be the opera,
tions of the new tariff, the restora
tion of confidence brought about
by its passage put into operation
millions of dollars which had
therefore been lying idle, and that
gave employment to hundreds of
thousands of hands. It caused the
country to undergo a change such
as had never before been witneBHed
by many of the present generation,
idle factories and furnaces to start
into new life, and the hum of in.

The new tariff is likely to warrant
the confidence placed in it, as its
revenues are satisfactorily incroas.

be but a short time when the

BY LUE VERNON.
jj Atithor of "A Romance of Butte" and many others.
"Way down upon the Suwanee river, far, far,
away,
Dar's where my heat am turning ever,
Dar'a where the old folks stay.
All up and down the whole creation tadly I
roam,
Still longing for de old platatlon
And for de old folka at home."
' Tbe Mammoth Miostral Company
were giving a benefit performance in aid
of tbe equipment fund of tbe fire depart.
ment in a email town in Tennessee.
Tbe little opera bouse was crowded,
for eaob aDd every citizen ot the place
beld it as bis special duty to attend tbe
performance if possible, so as to enoour
nge and help the "fire laddies" by their
presenoe as well as financially.
It was a matinee performance, end
tbe vast audience was in tbe best ot
humor, and tbe performers themselves
entered into their respective work
witb a zeal Bid spirit that was com
mendable indeed. ,
It was duriDg tbe "first part,'! and tbe
solo singer bad just conoladed that ever
popular southern ballad, the "Buwanee
River," and the beautiful and entrancing
refrain bad not yet died away
"All the world is iad and dreary, '
Everywhere 1 roam;
Oh, darkles, how my heart grows weary,
Far from the old folks at home."
when suddenly every one's attention
in tbe theatre was attrsoted to a man
whose long white, hair, shaggy and on
kempt, falling all around bis shoulders,
dressed in clothes that were ragged and
torn, holding up an old battered banjo
as a sign of recognition to bis brother
performers, was seen making bis way
towards tbe stage.
Some of tbe audienoe said: "Put him
out!" Other oomments followed, suoh
as "He'a a bobo!" "A tramp!" "He is
drunk !" etc ,
But tbe old man did not heed their re
marksif be beard them but in a man.
ner indicating that at one time be bad
been OBed to assooiating in tbe best of
society, politely removed from bis head
the remains of what at one time bad
been a respectable silk bat, but at this
time plainly and fearlessly indicated
that it bad Been "better days."
Having by tbis time readied ti e stage,
be saluted tbe boys of tbe "semi-circle"
and said : "Boys, for the sake of an old
time rnuistrel, sing tbat refrain onoe
more just onoe again. I am one ot tbe
profesaion, and not in tbe best of bealtb,
but I want to help sing tbat old ballad
ouce more
'All 'round de little farm I wandered
.. When I was yotuiK.
Dan many tmppy daya I squandered,
Many were de souks 1 1 sung.
When I whs playing wld my brudder
Hnppy was I;
Oh, take me to my kind old m udder,
Dar let ine live aud dl.'
"It was ibis song tbat started me out
in the minstrel business. I learned it at
my mother's knee, and it was she wbo
taught her boy the song tbat led bim
from her side never to see her loving
faoe ngaiu. Having natural talent and
being gifted witb a good voioe I ail
vaiood rapidly to tbe highest round in
my ohoeen profession and loon beoame
popular.
I sang, and with tbe help ot this old
and battered instrument, the companion
nf manv a long and weary year, my only
friend, my banjo, I won fame and for
tuoe. My peculiar talent was known
the wide world over.
"I was courted, flattered and petted
by the public, wined and dined by dnkei
and earln, appeared by special request
before tbe crowned beads ot Europe
and, boys, my iiioceas was assured. My
proleaaional life was brilliant and gay
My dreams ot tbe future were of tbe
brightest color. And it seemed to me as
If no oloud of sorrow oould ever oron
my path. Whenever I appeared on
tbe stage lbs audience, the public
termed Diver to tire of me. I wri tbeii
favorite, their Idol.
"Hat obi day I met a maiden, Booth
em ball. I woo ber heart; and, boy a
alia loved me ai only a woman can."
Here tbi old man broke down, and hi
obi oould be beard In every pail of tbe
thwatro. The aodtence were now inter
riled in tbe old minatrel'i ilory, aud in
sisted tbat be should continue. Con
trolling bt heartfelt emotion, be oom
meuoed again: " We were married, and

topped at nothing to obtain it. I bad
forgotten all about decency, shame aod
manhood..
I began to play and sing in saloons,
low danoe halls, varieties ot tbe vilest
kinds any plaoe, everywhere, for, mind
you, I had become well known to all
managers ot minstrel companies ai a
worthless, drunken performer, and as a
matter of business they did not want
me. Yon may not believe it, boys, but
sank so low in my degradation as to
work for anyone wbo wonld give me all
the whiskey I oould drink. It tbey only
did thli I was perfeotly satisfied and
asked no other pay,
But there came a time wben I
thought of my past life, and I took an
oath to slop drinking, and I did. I de
cided to commence life anew; but, boys'
it was now too late for tbe old minstrel,
Other singers bad oome along, and bad
taken my plaoe in tbe amusement world,
for the pnblio had grown weary and
tired of 'Old Jim Crow' minstrelsy, and
t was no use for me to ask for a 'date;'
no manager would give me an engage
ment in my line. Tbey said, we are
sorry for you, old man. You are the
Dee I in your line ot business tbat we
nave ever met, but the days of old plant
ation minstrel business have gone

Aoa i realized then, boys, tbat I was
oast out ot the profession forever.
"So here I am, old, penniless and
entirely forgotten bv the world.
"But, boys, though my hair is silver
white, olothes rsgged and torn, money

starling away, to wgnaer, i know not
where, when in passing the theatre 1 1
beard the old song:
One little hut among de bushel,
One dat I love,
Still sadly to my memory rushes
No matter where I rove;
When wltl I see de bees a humming
All 'round de comb,
When will I hear de banjo tummlng
Down In my good old home.'
"I came in. I oould not help it. My
wife used to sing it every night for me
before before she died. Now, boys, I
have told yoa my story. Won't you, for
the sake of one of your old brotherhood,
sing tbat refrain lor me onoe more?
Please do."
From all parti ot the theatre oame io
oborna the words, "8m g il again." At
signal from Ibe leader the orohestra
began tbe symphony. Tbe solo singer
oommeooed tbe song; be looked plain
tlvely at tbe old man, wbo, witb tears
streaming down his farrowed cheeks,
picked up bis old banjo, and joined in
tbe chorus:
"All the world am sad and drear'.
Everywhere I roam;
Oh, darkles, how my heart grows weary,
Far from de old folka at borne."
And my, snob a voice as tbe old min
strel bad. Methioka I can bear it vet.
And suoh weird harmony came from
tbat banjo, chords Ibal could come only
trom a master's band. Sorely, tbey
must bave been inspired from above.
Tbe quivering striogs seemed to respond
io sympathy lo the looob of Ibe wrinkled
fingers of the old minstrel. Bis voioe
was a "Tenor" ot Ibe rarest type, such
aa was never beard before. It rang oot
Clear as a silver bell. All the petit-op
