THE Republicans now place their last
and only hope for the election of BLAINE
ON tho Irish vote. IL were we'll for them
to disabuso their minds of this fallacious
desire, for tho few Irish who will desert
the Democracy in November next will
have hutlittlo influence on tho Igonoral
result. They have not supported Dem
ocratic candidates for years and in times
when 1t was, In places, dangerous to life
ana limb to do so, to desert tho party
when victory Is assured. No; tho Irish

THE Montague Northwest says that
never in the history OF that town has it
grown so rapidly or were there as many
substantial buildings being erected as
at the present time. The Spanish Fort
New Era says the same is applicable to
that town. These papers are both pub
lished in the cattle districts. No town
can improve rapidly and substantially
in new country unless the sections
tributary to it are improving with it.
The facts stated above give abundant
evidence that the country in the Pan
Handle is fast filling up with actual
settlers. They speak in louder tones
than all the assertions of interested pa
pers to the contrary that the lease law
is promoting and stimulating immigra-
ton to those western counties. It may
be that a few western counties of the
State from natural causes are not re-
ceiving many accessions or actual set
tiers, but others are doing so and are
really at this time absorbing all the i'm
migrants arriving IN Texas. Texas Is
rapidly increasing in population, let
croakers croak as they will of immigra-
ton being impeded or stopped.

Boston has had some curious requests
at various times, amounting in the ag-
gregate to $l,30,OO0 Ten thousand dol
lars was bequeathed to the Charleston
library, the interest to be spent in buy
ing books published prior to 1850. A be
quest of $1,000 provided for Thanksgiv-
ing dinners for the poor, and one of So
600 for supplying fruit and flowers to pa
tlentS In city hospitals. Jonathan Phil
lips in 1860, left $4,000 to adorn and en-
belliNh the streets of the city, and i'm
l'9l Benjamin Franklin's gift was made
to the city, amounting TO $1,000, to be
lent upon specified terms to Young me-
chanics. The philosopher based his be-
quest upon the calculation that by 1891
the sum would increase to $685., 600, and
he directed that then S50O,O0D should be
spent in public parks and the rest con
tlhue ON interest for another century.
But his calculations were incorrect. The
mnd at the present date amounts to
sol 900.

THE Kaufman Sun thus speaks on
couragingiy of the outlook; at seems
TO MS that there is no necessity for such
a cry about hard times. True the cotton
crop will be short, but tho farmers have
theirs cribs and grainarles full OF Corn,
oats aud other food, and the cotton ought
to bring them out oven, when thoy do
not have such things to buy. Let us all
DO cheerful and bespeak better timos.n
There Is great deal of truth In tho
above. Tho cotton cropis undoubtedly
short, but farmers have enough OF all
else to spare until another season rolls
round.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 9.-To settle
forever the contest as to whom belongs
the honor of composing the poem entitled
Solitude" or "Love and Laughter" l
will state that the following was written
by me, and both titles combined adopted
for it. You will SEQ at once that this is
tho correct version, and not at all like the
one in question. / can get plenty OF
people at so cents each to swear that
wrote it. G. L. HALL,
736 Third street northwest.
SOLITUDE, OR LOVE AND LAUGHTER
With friends you'll have plenty of comrades
Without them you'll be left alone;
The world hunts not whom to give favors,
Nor dog help to finish bone.
To others your misfortunes are nothing,
Your success gives them no sense of joy;
They revcl not when you are laughing
Your sorrows their mirth does not cloy.
The fact of the matter is plainly
The world docs not care small pin
For the man who fails in his efforts,
But whoops up the one who can win.
