One day a harsh word rashly said,
Upon an evil journey sped.
And like a sharp and cruel dart,
It pierced a fond and loving heart ,
It turned a friend into a foe,
And everywhere brought and woe.
A kind word followed it one day.
Flew swiftly on its blessed way;
It healed the would, it soothed the pain
And friends of old were friends again j
It made the hate and
And everywhere brought joy and peace,
Hut yet the harsh word loft a trace
The kind word could not quite efface ;
And though the heart its love regained
It bore ti scar that long remained ;
Friends could forgive but not forget.
Or lose the sense of keen regret.
Oh, if we could but learn to
How swift and sure our words can go, ,
How we would weigh with utmost care
Each thought it sought the air,
And only speak the words that move.

Washington Letter.
Special to
Washington, D. C, August
The President returned from bis
well earned lour days- vacation trip
in ample time to sign bills for
thirty days longer, thus disappoint-
the Republicans very much, as
they were all ready to raise a cry
neglect of public duties. Thai is
one accusation that no one can
truthfully make against Mr. Cleve-
land. It is doubtful whether this
country ever had a President that
attended as closely to his duties as
Mr. Cleveland, we have certainly
not had one since Lincoln.
Senator Heck has given notice
that he in the future object to
unanimous consent being given for
the passage of any bill. He believes
in taking the bills as they stand up
on the calendar, and bringing them
up in the regular way.
It is now said that the republicans
of the Senate will not have their
substitute for the Mills ready
before the 29th inst- if they do then.
It is further said that they do not
propose to attempt to pass a bill at
this session, but will only report it,
so as to give them a chance to gain
votes this fall, by promising to
amend it before it is passed, to suit
anybody whose vote can be had.
The slow and deliberate manner in
which the Senate committee is act-
has gained believers for
the report that no attempt will be
made to-pass the bill.
Commissioner Coleman will prob-
ably in a short lime be Secretary

Agricultural department an
I live department has been favorably
reported to the Senate, and as there
is practically no opposition to it
now that the clause transferring to
Agricultural Department the
weather bureau, has been stricken
out, its early passage is expected.
One of the President's callers this
week was aged six, named
Cleveland Washington.
Representative Mills endeavored
to obtain consent or the
House to have August assigned
for the consideration of bills from
the labor committee, with the
of the Convict Labor bill, but
there was objection.
A bill has been reported to the
Senate to give the Richmond, Va.
and the Augusta, Ga., expositions,

The hits agreed to the res-
for the appointment of a
committee of seven, to investigate
our trade relations with Canada.
The Senate bill appropriating
for the erection of an
statue to Gen.
in this city, has been favorably
reported to tho Douse.
Representative Bynum, of
says the Senate will not pass a
tariff bill, and that while they may
lie able to agree in committee to the
extent of reporting a measure that
will please the most of the
can Senators, it is impossible to
please them all, and bill can be
passed without the votes of them
all.
Mrs. Cleveland and her mother
are at home again.
The House committee on
in their preliminary report
on the trust investigations, say that
the trusts have been organized care-
fully, so as to avoid the law against
conspiracy.
It is generally understood that
the River and Harbor bill will be
signed by the President.
Jimmy threatens to over
shadow Bonny Harrison entirely.
Chief Justice Fuller has leased an
elegant residence in this city for a
long term of years, which he will

The Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill, which has been passed by the
Senate, has had so many amend
tacked on it passed the

claims against the
Pacific Railroad, has been
reported to the Senate.

True Worth of People.
The place to study American women
in their varieties is at Washington. Tho
wives and daughters come
there and the daughters and
wives too, and most of tho difference in
them at first is that some ore and
some are thin. Tho thin ones have had
a good deal of hard work and worry,
thick ones worked hard and not
had so much worry. I don't mean they
are poor. The finest house in an inland
city in my youth belonged to a man
whoso died after he made hi
fortune built his mansion, and
always said the care of her fine house
killed her.
The change from simple, easy going
village life to pretentious society which
adds constantly to its rules and standards
must be one of effort and exhaustion.

who live to smile and to shine, and
though ho feels at the contrast, he

The average college president is but a
poor judge of human nature. It is use-
less to try to coerce a large body of young
men into observance of any set of

years in tho chair of a college president
that in every school there are a few
young men who are born leaders, and
whom the rest of the boys follow

business early in each session to find out
who these leaders were, and then I

THE STAR.
NATIONAL
NEWS PER.
The Star is the only New York news-
paper possessing the fullest confidence
of the National Administration and the
United Democracy of New York, the
political battle ground of the Republic.
Democracy, pure and
simple, is good enough for the Star.
Single handed among the
press, it bus stood by the men called by
the great Democracy to redeem the gov-
from years of Re-
publican wastefulness and corruption
and despotism to the South. For these
four years past it has been unswerving
its fidelity to the administration of
Grover Cleveland. It is for him now
for Cleveland and four
years more of Democratic honesty in our
national affairs, and of continued nation-
and prosperity.
For people who like that sort of De-
STAB is the paper to read.
The Star stands squarely on the
National Democratic platform, lie-
that any tribute exacted from the
people in excess of the demands of a
government economically administered
is essentially oppressive and dishonest.
The fostered and championed by
the Republican making the
government a miser, wringing millions
annually from the people and locking
them up vaults to serve no purpose
but invite wastefulness and dishonesty,
it regards as a monstrous crime against
rights of American citizenship,
political jugglers may call it
taxation the
for it is robbery.
Through through the Star is a
great newspaper. Its tone is pure and
wholesome, its news service
Each issue presents an
tome of what is best worth knowing of
the world's history of yesterday. Its
stories are told In good,
English, and mighty
reading they are.
