THE POLITICAL MILLENNIUM.

Now. after this remarkable tight squeeze,
The Democratic lion wears the bell;
But he. taHnely docile as You please,
With the Republican pet lamb shall dwell,
And public cribs shall feed them
Both under such a sweet mlllennial spell
And Grover Cleveland lead them.
Now, o'er the grave of many party feud
The civil service zephyrs softly sigh,
Fprbidding Boreas to be harsh or rude,
And Independents from the fences nigh
Pipe strains so sweetly tender.
While all may drain the cider barrel dry
A most innocuous bender.
O glucose times! O days of butterinei
How softly sweet and sweetly sof. are ye!
Shall now the fat. together with the lean.
Swim in the Treasury pool, so fair to see,
Like peaceful, happy .duckhngs,
With none to mar the glad festlv1ty
OF these dear babes and sucklings3
Let not mossbacked prophet dare assert
That this. cur lion, big, and full of pride.
Can love the lambkin to the lambkin's hurt,
Or swallow him. head, hoofs, and tail, and
hide.
Should he lie down to rest him,
With that dear. tender creature far inside,
He might not then digest him.

OUR NEW ORLEANS LETTER.

Reception of Election News-Uneasines
Among the CoIored People-A Pleasing
Surprlse-The Exposition Opening, etc.
New ORLEANS Nov. %, 1894.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Large crowds were attracted to the bull
1etin boards during the reception of the
news of the election, but they were good
humored, representative of all classes,
and alternately cheered for Blaine or
Cleveland, as indications of the success of
either were posted. 1t was a prolonged
season of excitement, and especially so
among the gambling fraternity who bet,
won Or lost from day to day. There was
succession of surprises for men of all par
ties, the only disagreeable feature being
the later possibility of SO close contest as
to threaten a repitition, ON larger scale,
of the revolutionary proceedings of 1877.
Now that the contest has been decided,
and it is known that Cleveland and Hend-
ricks will lead the administration of the
next four years, the tension has ceased,
and & calm has followed the stormy period.
By close vote the Democratic party car
ried the Presidency and the lower House
of Congress, and accepts the responsibility
for the future government of this country.
The Republican majority in the Senate is a
bulwakr against the repeal of any legisIa-
ton heretofore deemed essential by that
party for the prosperity of the country, or
the passage of any impairing its obIiga-
tions. 1t has the power to reject nomina-
tions for office made by the President, if it
deems them unwise or unfit. With these
conservative influences to affect it the adj
ministration of President Cleveland does
not promise to be reactionary to any great
extent.
The impression upon the colored people
is q deep and profound one. 4 Demo
cratic victoryis associated in their minds

A PUZzLE-
We two had row,
Somehow.
Perhaps she WIS fresfnl, and didn't care.
Or perhaps [ did something that she couldn t
bear.
Or perhaps depression advanced in the air;
But whatever that be. the disturbance was there,
And storm began to brew.
first it mattersd,
And hard words were uttered:
Thea harder and harder. until things grew
SupFsmely unpleasant for each of The two,
And came to think
We had reached the brink
OF the grave OF d friendship whose loss we
should rue.
So begged her pardon-what less could do?
She declared she was sorry-I hope it was true.
And the tempest's froWn
Smoothed slowly down,
And it rumb1ed, and sighed,
And whispered. and died
Away.
Yet all can say
70 this very day
Is-We two had row
Somehow.
But couldn't make out
What brought it about,
And don't tknoW.now.

Henry Frech.

Mr.. Henry Frech is the owner of
the handsome new building repre-
scented in this cut, which is located
on the south side of Franklin street
opposite Elders Opera House. This
is one of the largest business houses
in the city, and Mr.. Frech one of the
most extensive dealers in garden and
field seeds of every variety. He has
the seed business perfectly in hand,
while he keeps large stock of gro
ceries, country produce, and general
stock of plows, points, etc, and in
fact everything in the way of garden
and farm tools, gearing, saddlery,
leather, etc. Frech's motto is to do
right by all men. He is one OF our
leading progressive spirits, takes hold
of everything that promises well, and
terribly in earnest in whatever he
goes at, and carries no policy into his
business. Plain and straightforward
in everything, he has but one price,
marked low down, and if he can't
sell customer goods, he will talk

doubts whether there is anything bet

Especially where dry summers are apt

found invaluable-For forage purposes
it should be sown broadcast, or in drills
like wheat or oats. Both as a sirup-

to see it one of the most important crops
of the great northwest.
