At MIDNIGHT.


If In this drcaTy night, Il voice should sound,
And in the darkness light should fall around
My pillow from the face Of one who came
ont Of the shining world 10 call my name
And bid me leave the couch whereOu alone
lie and muse when half the night has flown,
To follow his hrighLfee along the way,
Up the gray heights into the golden day
What earthly face would | most wish to see,
What lips 10 kiss In parting ecstasy
What hand TO touch with lingering Caress,
What voice 10 hear as | grew mOtiOnlessy
Beneath the stars one only heart would know
What face alone could parting peace bestow,
What lips could wakon loves deep vibrant
thrill
What hand could soothe and bid the heart be
stll,
What voice could cheer my spirit for the
fight
From The low earth-lands through the silent
night
And would that one heart seek to find It's
mate,
And, undivided, though 1t be so late,
Ro'echo all the music of my own
In perfect concord of responsive toner
l fancy that rustling stlrs this air
And some sweet presence Is approaching
there;

And Heaven has come TO mel need not co.

is MIR. CLEVELAND Responsible
FOR THE HARD TIMES?

Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina would
Cleveland Is the real and direct cause
of the "hard times" Even Mr.. Blaine,
with his sometime extravaganza of
statement, has uttered nothing half so
extravagant as this
1t is usual in all periods of business
depression to charge the responsibility
upon the party in power. Excessive
rains and long protractcd droughts,
bad crops and devastating epidcmics,
have been made counts in these par
tisan indictments. But Mr.. Tillman
does not do this. To the perception
of the South Carolina statesman, the
President, personally, is the stumbling
block of oifense. 1t is not his party,
but himself which is to blame.
With all the Difference that is due to
Mr.. Tillman as q good Congressman
and intelligent gentleman, we must
confess our inability to appreciate the
force OF his position. If he had said
that the hard times were due to the
success of the Democratic party he
would at least have raised debatable
proposition. There might have beea
something in the advent of the Democ-
racy to power after twenty-five years
of uninterrupted Republican rule to
cause suspense aud unsette values
but for Mr.. Tillman to have said this
would have inculpatcd himself and his
friends who aided IN creating the new
administration. 1t is not the Demo.
cratic party, but the man upon whom
the party conferred the highest honor
in its gift, that must be held to answer,
According to Alr, Tillman, he has
kept good many people in office whom
he should not have kept and done
nothing worth speaking of for the
South. We think there must be some
mistake in this statement. According
TO our Republican friends at the North,
the share of patronage that has gone
South Is excessive. But what of this?
Are we to understand that the Civil
Service Law Is the cause Of strikes,
failures and the sluggishness of capl,
tai to move into active investment Its
a pretty poor law, we admit, but out
side of Washington 1t has probably ex,
erted no influence on trade, one way
or another.
As for the Cabinet, two of its mem
bers are Southern men and to be relied
on to do whatever they legitlmately
can for their section, and all, so far az
we are advised, are liberal in theil
views Of public policy and sound in the
Democratic faith. The inclination o

MIR. voorhees, BEFORE n Jury.


The closing argument of Senator Voor-
hees in the trial Of Haseltine for murder, at
Stevens Point, Wis, last week, occupied
about two hours and a-half. A special to
the Milwaukee Sentinel says: sit was lis
tened to with the closest attention by the
immense crowd that was present. His
argument was simply masterly--no other
words will express it-forcible, logical,
persuasive and convincing, and was listened
TO throughout with rapt attention. AS he
closed, the applause was deafening and the
sheriff and his deputies were powerless to
suppress it," A verdict OF acquittal was
brought in about s o'clock In the evening,
and then "the enthusiasm became too great
to be suppressed, and there was at once
deafcning cheers and handshaking with the
defendant and the jury, after which some.
body in the crowd suggested three cheers
for Senator Voorhees,, which was followed
by cheers that made the courtroom ring"

4 newIy'marrled couple, who started

was looking after the baggage at the

the next train, but got to Berwick only
to find that his bride had returned to
Portland, She, against the advice of her
friends, did not stop there, but started
west again, and got to Boston at the

SENATOR SHERMAN made what is
understood will be his only speech in
Pennsylvania during the present cam.
paign at Philadelphia last night. The
Senator resolved the controlling inllu-
ences in American politics at the pres.
ent day into only two in number, One
Of these was. of course, the tariff; aud
the other, as naturally the alleged de-
privation of one million voters In tho
South Of the rights conferred upon
them. There Is, he says, imminent
danger through the Democratic party
that the prosperity which has resulted
from the tariff policy Of the Republican
party may be ovcrthrown. The Sen.
ator designated the Solid South the
Nightmare of American politics, j"
defended the action of the Louisiana
and South Carolina returning boards,
and said that thirty Members # Con-.
Grcss from the South in Congress did
not really represent their c'nslit
ucuCies. The Democratic party, he
says, rests upon the Solid South aud
the free trade city of New York. Mr.
Sherman $ speech shows that he has Il
rather unique way Of dealing with the
subject of the abolition of internal.
revenue taxation He says that as soon
ms there is Il popular demand for doing
away with such taxation he will join
but lie does not think there IS any such
demand. The fuct IL, he says, that the
people who consume whisky, tobacco
and beer feel so good that they do not
care if they are being taxed. If they
do not want to pay taxes on those arii.
clcs, why just let them stopusing them.
