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 rr. . i t - iiui gictu uuBiueuH improve-1,. uwuxi huh come to me country t..i j-.i i ii Biuu mat oui, io uouuou uy ail intelligent observers; and that this ; j l i . t-u t.uJ " . . . 1 r . K U1 . 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. d us try to sound from state to state. The new tariff is likely to warrant the confidence placed in it, as its revenues are satisfactorily incroas. ing month by month, and it will be but a short time when the treasury will lave a monthly sur plus instead of a deficit, as has been the case for the last four years. TuE probublo choice of the re publican majority of tho Maryland legislature of a sucoossor to Sena tor Gorman continues to figure largely in political conversation, everywhere. Owing to the nnm Lor of eligibles, thore aro wide dif foronoos of opinion as to who will be choson. Tho legislature moots on the first Wednesday in Janu ary, but it id probable that the re publican caucus will nominate a a souator a day or two bofore.

It will be a novel sensation for treasury clerks to be confronted each month by a treasury surplus rather than a deficit, The receipts of the new tariff law now show an increase over the receipts of the Wilson law at a corresponding date last year, and the days of deficits is nearly ended.

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 In ootiree ot time a bright, blue eyed babe came to blr our happy home.

"In my tendering 1 bed Contracted ucb a raging lliirtt for wbwkry Hit I 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 passed away. We mast have nineteenth " I century performers now. The public, in luBbe progressive, aays, aemaca 11, Wa must supply it. We oannot book you. 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 lees, and life nearly o'er, I have never failed in all the long years tbat have passed to visit tbe little sacred mounds that lie in a shady nook, obsoure from i. a., .., ..1 iue eyes ot me luie pasaerDy, wnere me feathered songsters warble sweetest lays, aod tbe soft, danomg ripples of the Hnvanod TtivAr' ' innoh Ilia linalnnn I "'v'"u I day, to plaoe eaoh year a bunoh of ten- oer nines or noiy love on tbeir graves.

"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.
