When lhe STORMS q Ll.e Are Over.

When the Storms Of Lie Are Over.
When the storms Of life are over.
As the sunlight sparkled through,
And the dew .bedecks the clover,
Then, my dear, I'll think OF you.
When the evening shadows lengthen,
In the rosy, purple west,
And my heart for you shall strengthen,
Then you'll know love you best.
When the midnight hour OF sorrow
Frowns In cheokered lines of care,
! shall wait the heavenly morrow,
Hoping, trusting you'll be there!
When the storm clouds hover round me,
And the sunlight sets In gloom,
can sneer at those who hound me,
While your love lasts to the tomb.
Then, while we age together,
And our hair Is turning gray
We can face the toughest weather
With our hearts as young as May.
And the world may fill with sorrow.
As we march along the years,
But our hearts shall ever borrow
Hope aud trust from smiles and tears.

MAlNE OUR FRIEND.

When every other Eastern man of
prominence was fighting against the
Yspple of the Pacific Coast, James G..
Blaine was always found on our side.
The following is an extract from his
spssck delivered in the Senate In Feb.
ruary, 1879:

THE NOMINATION.

Yesterday afternoon Blaine was
I, yepinnted hyT ~ wotei Of pa and the
ms5ofity"of the Republican party is
jubilant over the success OF the favor
tie candidate. Blaines nomination
will excite particular enthusiasm on
the Pacific Coast, where he is, by long
odds, the most popular candidate the
Rspphlscan party has placed ip the
4sld since the war. Ills record Is such
that it n almost certainty that he will
draw to his support nearly the entire
independent vote, and in addition, he
will receive votes from many luke
warm Democrats who are dissatisfied
with the promises of their party and
the doubtful national policy fore
shadowed by the. action of the party
leaders. II is useless to deny in the
face Of figures that the parties are very
evenly divided, but the majority is
Republican, and the nominee will
gather the full party strength to his
side. Taking. this into account, in
connection with the electoral vote of
thp, Republican States, it may he
sailaoss' predicted With certainty that
James G. Blaine will be the next Pres
ident, regardless of whom the Demo-
cratic nominee may be.
The nomination of John A. Logan,
Of IlIidois for Vice President will also
meet with general satisfaction. Mr..
Logan is not SO much an idol OF the
Pacific Coast as the great leader, but
he will add greatly.to. the strength of
the ticket in the old Western States,
and his nomination. will combine
@Hy hcreiqfore, opposing interests in
GIVING substantial aid to the Republi-
can party and its nominees.

THE pARr1ALIrIEs OF JUSTICE.

Newspaper readers will remember
the circumstances under which Tweed
managed to escape from the officers
who had charge of him and flee the
country. Coming down to more re
cent events, the remarkable laxity OF
vigilance and servile favoritism mani
tested in the case of the notorious
military swindler, Captain Howgate
are still fresh in the memory. Now we
are told by u dispatch from New
York that the $6,000,0O0 robber, Fer
dinand Ward, is following the example
of his illustrious predecessors and
carefully laying his wires to follow
in their footsteps. The New York
Times of June Sd says:
Ferdinand Ward yesterday partook
of luncheon at Delmonico's, in com.
pany with a Deputy Sheriff, thereby
giving the other customers of the
establishment an opportunity to ad.
mirethe terrible impartiality of Amer.
lean Justice, which lays its grip upon
the fraudulent broker and friendless
people.
Now the question that presents
itself to the mind of the well-behaved
inquirer, who has no money and no
moneyed friends, is this :" II | should
go wrong, would the same privileges
be accorded meY" Echo, reverberat.
ing from the experience of other poor
men who have yielded to temptatation,
answers with a decided mo" Take
the case of witness in the New
York criminal courts. He may never
have done wrong act in his life, but
by combination of circumstances
entirely out of his control, happens to
witness u murder or robbery. If he
is rich he can give bonds for his APP
pearance at the proper time and go
free until called upon to give his testi-
mony. But if he is poor and has no
friends with sufficient means to fur.
nish bond, he is thrown into Jail and
kept on prison fare, while his family,
if he has one, is left to depend on
charity. AT the same time probably
the criminal himself is being visited
by female bouquet fiends and is living
on the fat of the land; or, if particu.
larly well off, is like Ward, eating at
Delmonico's. Such is the impartiality
of justice in our courts.

The most glaring instance of natl


The most glaring instance of natio;.
al idiocy is that of Sweden, where the
population of only 4,57s,901 allows
itself to be taxed $6,09O,OoO for the
support of the royal families. The
total revenue is only $20,5S1, $40, and
thus nearly 30 per cent of the revenue
goes toward the maintenance Of
royalty. Denmark pays 1911, Jos for
the luxury of king; Greece S260,s90;
Holland, $312,500; France pays its
President only -s1s0,0OO; while the
German Empire allows Its Emperor,
Kings and others of that class
S16,538, $50, which is about three per
cent of the total revenue. Russia is
taxed 12,250,000 for support of its
Emperor, and Great Britain 81 ,491 ,015.
Turkey pays SIC, 100000, or nearly 81
per cent of its total revenue. Spain
allows only $4,000, 900, which does not
bear out the popular notion about the
extravaganza of that country The
lowest salaried ruler is the President
of Switzerland, MO receives So, 900 a
year. The countries paying the lar.
gest percentage of the revenue for
royalty and the army and navy are
Italy, 20; Austria and Spain, 81;

The Augusta, Ga, Chronicle is one
the few Southern Democratic papers
that is not carried away by the free

Free trade means direct taxation. 1t
