Givo me cup o' good coffee'n tbe

And a cup o' good coffee'n the

Of the color the wine cup adorn

thrill
Of a cup o' good coffee'n the

DAFFODILS.
Fair daffodils, we weep to see
You baste away so soon;
A yet the early-rlslns sun
Has not attained his noon;
Stay, stay,
Until tho bastonlng day
Has run
But to tho even-song;
And, having pray'd together, wo
Will go with you along!
We have short time, to stay, as you;
We liavo as short a spring,
As quick a growth to meet decay,
As you or anything;
Wo dlo,
As your hours do; and dry
Away
Like to tho sjimrner'fl r.-.lu,
r as to tho pcf rls of morning dew,
Ne'er to bo found again.

CORRUPTION
HAT coiTiiptiou iu government is not confined to
America, but exists all over the world, particularly
in England, is the subject of an article in the September
American Magazine in "The Interpreters' House, M a de
partment edited by Peter Jfiudlcy Dunne, who discourses
as follows upon the subject:
There is only one place where I would quarrel with
the agitation, and that is the apparent concession that wo
are worse than other countries in point of public and pri
vate honor. The truth of the matter is that there is no
more political corruption or business dishonesty here, than
there is anywhere else. Anyone who has traveled with
his eyes open knows this.
I won't insult you by drawing a comparison botwecn
this country and the countries of southern Europe. But
let us size up with the country where we hear the greatest
lamentation over the moral decay of America.
What is the house of lords but corruption turned into
an institution?
If half as many men went into the United States son
ate solely because they have paid money to the successful
party as go into the house of lords for the same reason,
we should have a revolution in this country. The plea is
always made that efficiency is so rewarded, and the Eng
lishman will always trot out Lord Lister or the late Lord
Kelvin as an example. But for one Lister or Kelvin there
is a score of brewers, railway jobbers, flash newspaper
publishers or corporation lawyers. Lord Lister has about
as much influence in the house of lords as Doctor Eliot
has over the Pittsburg common council.
Seats in the house of lords have always been bought
and sold. The house of commons is not free from the same
accusation.
The kind of vigorous and able young man who can
force his way into the house of representatives in this
country would have small chance in England without the
support of money. In the relations of the railways, the
banks and great commercial enterprises with the govern
ment, they take for granted as necessary things that we
would resent and destroy by law. They permit the crea
tion of a caste of skilled lobbyists and pay them above all
members of the bar to procure legislation in what we call
public services cases.
They say their public officers don't take bribes. That
may he so, but how are we to know, when it would be as
much as a newspaper editor's liberty was worth to hint
at bribery, even when he was sure it existed?
Our newspapers fish with a long pole. They make the
charges which echo around the world and then look for
the facts which they are apt to find. But the first hint
of the kind that began the insurance investigation, the
Ballinger inquiiy, the Albany scandal, would result in an
jEnglish editor being carried
And that would be the end or it.
Imagine a London paper making such accusations as
it is the daily habit of most New York papers to make,
not only against legislative bodies, but against individ
uals! It is not conceivable.
Every once in a while in England you run against out
croppings of scandal like the Hooly exploitations, , the
Whittaker Wright case, the smothered charges against
army officers and the war office over the purchase. of hay
and horses for the South African War. If you were an
American newspaper detective, you would be sure that a
great mine of the kind existed under the surface. But if
you tried to dig you would he stopped.
Our newspapers and magazines may do a great deal
of harm, work much injustice and suffering by their.cn
ergy, keep a good many sensitive men out of public life.
But if you think it is a good thing to expose corruption
rather than cover it up, and if it is wise to sacrifice indi
viduals for the improvement of the nation, and if you are
prepared to endure the inconvenience of spring house
cleaning in the hope of enjoying a summer in sanitary sur
roundings, then you ought to be glad that the press is as
Pfree, even when it is cruel,
