The Rings Motto.

A lover gave the welding ring
Into the goldsmith's hand,
"Grave me-" he said, "a tender though
Within the golden band"
The goldsmith graved,
With careful art,
"Till death us part"
The wedding bells rang gladly out,
The husband said, 80 wife,
Together we shall share the grief,
The happiness of life.
I give TO thee
My hand, my heart,
Till death us part"
Twas she that lifted now bis hand
70 love, that this should be),
Then on it placed the golden band,
And whispered tenderly:
"Till death us join,
Lo, thou art mine
And 1 am thinel
"And when death joins, we nevermore
Shall know an aching heart,
The bridal of that better love
Death has no power to part,
That troth will be
For thee and me
Eternity"
So up the hill and down the hill,
Through fifty changing years,
They shared each others happiness,
They dried each others tears.
Alasl Alasl
That deaths cold dart
Such love can dartl
But one sad day she stood alone
Beside his narrow bel;
She drew the ring from off her hand,
And to the goldsmith said:
"Oh, man who graved
With careful art,
'fIill death us part"
Now grave four other words for me
''Till death us join" He took
The precious golden band once more
With solemn, wistful look,
And wrought with care,
For love, not coin,
'"Till death US join"

THE ENGLISH ELECTIONS.

The Pail Mall Gazette admits that the de-
feat of the Liberals, or more properly the
Gladstonians, is inevitable. There is bare
possibility that the counties may save the gov
eminent, and it is being made the most of by
the Gladstonian leaders to keep up the cour-
age of their followers, but probably none of
them azs.sateiaate anything but defeat. Scot
land is doing better than was feared from
the early reports, and the defeat of Goschen,
one of the most bitter as well as able of Mr..
Gladstone's Liberal opponents, is a momen-
tary triumph which will give the Home
rulers good deal of transient consolation.
But beyond much doubt the general result IS
destined to effect an indefinite postpone
ment of the establishment of an Irish Parlia-
ment at Dublin.
The chief interest now centers IN the sig
nifcance which will attach to the defeat,
and that can only be determined when the
extent of it is known. There are three par
ties to the contest-the Gladstonians, who
favor Homerule in the form proposed by the
Premier, the Unionists, who profess to favor
the Homerule principle, but object to Glad
stones application of it, and the Tories,
who, notwithstanding their coquetrles with
the Parnellites and the sweet things they
breathed into the ears of the latter when in
pursuit of votes, are beyond doubt mex
orably opposed to separate government and
adhere to the old policy of coercion. A clean
Tory majority over all would mean that the
country, as far as it had expressed its opin-
ion at the election, was opposed, not only to
Mr.. Gladstone'S bill, but to the principle of
homerule as well. But the failure of Mr.. Glad
stone to obtain majority would not neces-
sarily imply defeat of the homerule princi-
pie, though it would mean the overthrow of
his particular plan of applying it, for many
of the Unionists are committed to the prin-
ciple. 1t will be impossible, therefore. to de-
termine the significance of Mr.. Gladstone's
defeat until it is settled whether it is
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1886-07-08

his principle or his plan that has been de-
feated.
Undoubtedly the defeat of his plan even
will be bitter disappointment to the Irish
people at home as well as to their kinsmen
ON this side of the ocean. But the situation
is not bare of encouraging features. The
progress of the Irish toward the goal of self
government has been astonishingly rapid.
A few years ago no English statesman would
have dared to go before the electors and adj
vocate separate government for Ireland.
But to-day the greatest leader of the
greatest political party of England is com
mitted to it, and the majority of his party
is with him. And, too, this change of senti-
ment has come over people proverbially
prone to cling to tradition and precedent and
slow to ceuntenance innovations.

The Treaty of Berlin is a very elaborate
arrangement for preserving Turkey from the
greed of its more powerful neighbors. 1t
was signed in Berlin in 1878 by representa-
tives of Germany, England, Russia, Austria,
France, Italy and Turkey. 1t determined
the status Of the Balkan Principalities and
defined the relations of each to Turkey and
the other neighbors. 1t was by Article II of
Sthis treaty that the Province of Eastern Rou-
meIia came into existence 'to remain under
the direct military and political authority Of
his Imperial Majesty the Sultan" By arti-
Gle IS of the Treaty ''the Porte cedes to the
Russian Empire in Asia the territories of
Abraham, Kars and Batoum;" and by Arti-
Gle 50 'His Majesty, the Emperor of Russia
declares it to be his intintion to make Ba-
toum a free and essentially commercial
port" When Eastern Roumeia was united
with Bulgaria the Treaty Of Berlin was I'M
doubtedly broken for the frs time; now it
is broken for the second tin by Russia's
declaration that Batoum is II longer a free
port. Batoum is situated on he Black Sea,
in Asiatic Turkey. If fortified by Russia it
would be an excellent vantage ground from
which to attack the Asiatic dolninions of the
Sultan. The powers understood this; and
when they allowed Russia to possess it they
stipulate d+tlnzt It should remain 'ta free and
essentially commercial port;' that is, that it
should not be fortified as a military strong
hold. But for some time it has been whis-
pered that Russia was slyly making Batoum
a fortified port. Now she comes forward
und announces that it is no longer the free
port that was promised in the treaty.
1t is useless to speculate on the probable
intentions of Russia in making such move !;
but with Batoum fortified and the Russian
Black Sea fleet in the effective condition that
it is said to be in, Russia becomes able to
throw large army into the heart of Asiatic
Turkey with ease and expedition. And that
is great object in any move against Con-
stantinople.

Hall on the celebration of the Fourth last
Monday Senator Zebulon B. Vance, of North
Carolina, gave the most perfect satisfaction.
He was one of the six men who put them
selves on record in the United States Senate
few weeks ago as opposed to the principle
of civil service reform, and this of itself was
enough to make him very dear to Tammany.
Monday his hearers went into ecstasies when
he ridiculed the claim that there is anything
to be condemned in the cry, "To the victors
belong the spoils." He asked his hearers
what higher principle could guide any party
than that of gratitude to political friends !;
and as no Sachem present knew of any 9TH
er, he clenched his argument by asking
$40 whom do the spoils belong if not to the
victors Do they belong to the vanquished?"
OF course the braves of Tammany. to whom
popular election means spoilation and
nothing else, were delighted to be convinced
of the righteousness of the spoils doctrine by
so easy an argument And the Democrats
who think such reasoning conclusive are
not all in the ranks of Tammany by long

Not long ago the Supreme court of the
United States decided that an Indian tribe
is foreign nation, the ground for this de-
cision being the fact that our government
deals with the Indians by treaties. The par
ticular case in which this decision was made
was one affecting the Cherokee Nation, and
it was particularly affirmed of these Indians
that they are an independent people. Now
some Kansas and Texas cattlemen come up
with proposition to lease all the available
grazing land of Indian Territory belonging
to the Usage, Ponca, Pawnee and Otoe In
dams. This land comprises several million
acres, and the rental by the year will be two
or three cents an acre. All the tribes named
obtained their land from the Cherokees
The cattle men argue, therefore, that neither
President Cleveland nor the Interior De-
partment can interfere to prevent the Indi-
ans disposing of their lands.
