While his chances slipped away,

And said, 81 do not want to see

And the soft moon rose up slowly,
And calmly she looked down

Her pale light seemed to shine

DEAR COMET 1T is u wonder how

even to>Write a letter that the author
at least considered very readable or
entertaining and how editors contrive
to carry on column after column of
entertaining mater, not only in their
weekly papers, buN, in their daily is
sues is certainly wonderful and the
cheapness Of the papers is no less won
derful.
1t has been raining hard all day,
blessing the farmers in the efforts to
raise the necessaries of life. The pros
pect for good crops throughout this
section of country is very good, tho
money is very scarce and business
dull Prosperous times may not be
expected before the summer and crops
are harvested
1t now behooves the Democratic
party to bestir itself, Let the leaders
of this party now make wise selections
for the various political offices that
are to be filled, and make an arduous
and energetic effort to redeem the LIST
Congressional District from the thral-
dom of Republican rule. 1t seems to
me that with the proper effort and
good man to throw up the past politi-
cal career of Judge Butler, success is
within reach of Democrats. 1t will
doubtless charged by the opponents of
Democracy that the change OF admin
istration has not brought prosperity.
What better times would you have?
The land is filled with the greatest
abundance of the necessaries of life,
breadstuffs, meat, canned goods, ma
chinery, manufactures and merchan-
disc of all kinds, and it is an easy mat
ter to live, Notwithstanding the preva-
lence of strikes. If this great country
would turn its attention now tu ex-
porting its wares and merchandise to
other countries instead OF allowing
speculation in futures, by WHICH ficti.
cious prices are placed even upon the
bread OF the poor, and instead Of al
lowing one class, trade or profession
advantages over others, a profitable
market for all the sproductions and
manufactures made here could be cas-
lily found, and capital and labor need
not be arrayed agAnst each other as
they now are, anf pecuniarY prosperi-
ty as well as peaceful plenty, would
prevail throughout the whole land.
