On whose confines stand,
Longing for home that home shall be no more
There stood my palace grand
Where now, on either hand,
The fiery swords OF seraphs guard the ooor'
There once roamed to Gull
Dear hopes more beautiful
Than siren thoughts that musng monks resist:
Nothing too far or fair
But its mirage was there
Pictured upon the valleys rosy mist.
There each sweet day heard
Songs OF brooding bird,
Telling OF purest pleasure yet to be:
There, by the singing streams,
Faint forms Of darling dreams
Loitercd and fingered hand in hand with me.
All, dim, dear fancy landl
Thy wellxin, rainbow-spanned,
The softened light of halcyon hours oer-past,
Fading away, away,
All the expanse is gray
Al fades the summer moon, too fair to last.

A Picture Of Sherman.

Senator sherman has not the ele
ments Of popularity that would make
him strong candidate if nominated
nor the active sympathy with the COM
mon people that would make him q
good President If elected. We have
always thought Mr.. Sherman to be the
type Of sordid. selfish, avaricious poll
itician, actively identified with the
money power Of Wall street. and with
out an atom of genuine feeling for the
poor or even for the people of moder-
ate means We have opposed his nomi-
nation to the Presidency on these
grounds, because we have realized that
his cold and calculating character is
estimated at its true value by the peo-
Pile of the United States. and therefore
| that he would be about the weakest
candidate that the Republican party
could propose for the popular suffrage.

AS IT SHOULD BE.
A Little Story Which Ii Too Good to Ne
True.

True
"My dear fellows" said protected
manufacturer to his assembled 'em-
Moves last week, "the Government
has imposed duty upon the foreign
wares which compete with those we are
producing, and has thereby enabled
me to raise the price of our wares to
the American consumer. 1t has done
this expressly that might raise your
wages; and am going, therefore, to
carry out the purposes which the Gov
eminent had in view in levying this
duty. From this date your wages are
raised ten per cent"
Our readers will find it difficult to
believe this story, and most Of them
will utterly refuse to do SO without
having the name and residence OF the
manufacturer, and the evidence OF his
employees. Our readers will do well.
! For the story isn't true. 1t ought to
be. 1t would be if there were
any truth or honesty in The
plea under which the protectionists
have maintained the war tariff Tor
score of years after the war ceased
But there in no such thing as truth o.
honesty in the plea and the story il
that the employees in all the protected
industries have got no increase Q
wages in consequence of the tariff
They have occasionally wrung SOM
concessions from their protected EN-
ployers by threatening to strike or p
actually striking; but of voluntary in
