cents more silver in it than our own ''dollar of

silver to admit the works, the back having
to act as a snap cover for the works. A head
of King William LII. of the Netherlands was
engraved on the back. The works were wound

Sweetheart's brow was a snOw-whito mower,
Sweetheart's cheeks wero pink as tho roses
Whore the flush of love on their leaves re-
poses.
sweetheart's eyes were the purple pansles,
trimming over with sOnlful fancies.
Sweetheart's lips were the ripe red che rles
Where the smile OF the sun the longest

sweetheart's hanis were calVen marble,
Sweetheait's song was brd-like warble,
Swcetheart's voice was the purling waters,
Sweetheart-'the faIrcst of earth's fair
dan ghters.
sweethealt's throat was white narclssuss,
Her breath like the sweet spring winds
that kiss MS,
sweethcart's thoughts were purer than
heaven,
Freer than saints from worldly leaven.
sweetheart's soul was soul in glory,
Done on the earth IS SweeihealtS story,
Tho angels were lonely in Paradise,
They missed the light OF her dazzling eyes,
They wearIed their Lord 10 call her homo
And write her name In the heavenly Tomb
Tho Master hearkened 10 their appeal
And beokuned her into the Lana OF tho

The Washington critic., 1888-08-14


Mr. Calvin Brice, chairman of the Ma
tional Democratic Executive Committee,
is credited with the following expression
in recent conversation regarding the
causes that deter the Democracy from
rallying to their campaign work with
the same enthusiasm that characterized
them four years ago. Mr.. Brice said
In my opinion, President Cleveland can
very materially help himself Some of
the Democratic leaders have positive grlev-
ances, which the President alone can over
come. These ought to be overcome. In
overcoming them, the President helps him
self and consOlidates his party. The army
behind him, l know, Is ready to do It's
duty. There Is no trouble with the army
II we can get the leaders TO a realizing
sense of duty,
So far as prominent Democratic Sena-
tors and Members of the House are con-
cerned this statement is true bill. 1t
is well known in Washington that they
are sadly deficient in personal enthusi-
asm towards their chief They may and
do admit that he has discharged his eX-
ecutive functions with courage, ability
and painstalSing fidelity; but they COM
plain that the President does not show
proper consideration for their party
views and suggestions. lie keeps them
too much at arms length, and maintains
an oflishness that is anything but Demo-
cratic, and certainly not calculated to
arouse their ardent sympathies iii his be-
half.
The inspiration that grows out of
mutual conferences and condolences be-
tween the Presidential candidate and
his party leaders, such as were common
in former campaigns, seems to be thus
far lacking
1t is an open secret that Senator
German declined to accept the chair
manship of the Democratic Executive
Committee for tie reason that there
were no sympathetic affiliations be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and the managers
of his cause. Under such ciIcumstan-
ces enthusiasm willis simply for the
want of incentives. Human nature is
the same in politics as in everything
else that bases its action on the en-
pectation OF gain--the "spoilsn of vic
tory. The inspiration is bred Of an
tieipatiOn, and the experience of the
mast three and half years under Mr.
Cleveland's administration has not beer
altogether such as TO inspire the party
leaders to high and heroic effort for an-
other four years Of the Same sort.
II is early, perhaps, TO expect gen
eral and active movement along TIN
Democratic lines. The President
letter is yet TO come. Many prelmi
naries are yet TO be arranged. The iigh
may grow hot and heavy MS the cam
paign progresses, but just at this tim
the lull is ominOns.

oUR NATIONAL 400. ="

The Boston Globe falls squarely
into line on the question OF estab-
fishing a national geological garden
at Washington and says that the bill
ought to pass at the present session of
Congress. AS the object is one,
moreover, on which Democrats and
Republicans can unite for the credit
of their common country" there can
be no partisan obstruction to its pass
age. The Globe says:
This is the only great nation in the
world that does not possess such an in
stitution. And of all the nations this
is the one that needs IL most Ina no
other country are the native wild ami
mails becoming so rapidly extinct.
Only few years ago the great Western
plains were black with bison; now that
huge animal is a culicsity even to the
dwellers on the plains. thousand
other varieties and species are being eX-
terminated with equal rapidity. III the
children of the coming generations are
to know anything of the kind of ami
mails that once roamed over the United
States. except from books, something
like what Senator BeclSS bill contem-
plates must be done at once.
At a cost that would be trifiing COM
pared with the benefits to De derived,
Congress might give the country the
largest and most interesting collection
of live animals in the world. The pri-
mary object of the proposed 200"
should be to preserve perfect specimens
of American animals. but there is no
reason why the wild denizcns of Asiatlc
iungles and South American forests
should not have department. TO them
selves.
1t is also suggested that in the mat
ter of economy, the present is the APP
propriate time for action. Property
that can now be acquired at reason
able rates is constantly rising in
value, and the delay of six months OF
a year would make very material
difference in the cost of the ground.
We might further add that, in
view of the Centennial of 1889 and
the Permanent Exposition to be in
augurated in 1892, it is of Importance
that whatever is done should be done
quickly. The work should at least
be entered upon prior to the arrival
of our next years distinguished
guests. The great constitutional an
niversary should have the distinction
of witnessing the beginning of this
noble project. BY the spring Of
1892 the "Zoo'' would be in an ad-
vanced stage of completion and form
one of the most attractive and praise
worthy features of the Exposition,

You can get your stamping neatly done at

The Washington critic., 1888-08-14

Some of our statesmen seem TO think
that everything dcne by Congress
towards bcautifying the National Capt.
tai and increasing its attractive features
is done for the sole and simple benefit
of the people of Washington and the en-
hancemcnt OF local property values
There was never II greater mistake. The
population of this city is about 225, 1000
all told. Suppose the grounds for the
proposed Rock Creek Park are acquired
and Geological Garden is established
therein. While this splendid improv--
mcnt would be a constant source of pa
triotic pride to the immediate residents
of the Capital, il would be none the
less so Go the inhabitants Of every State
and Territory in the Union. Its annual
visitors from the different sections of
the country would far outnumbcr our
own population, and the Garden in
stead of having it's benefits limited to
the 225,000 people who live within
sight of the Washington monument,
would be well-spring of profit and
pleasure TO the whole $4,000, 600 citi-
zens of the Republic. Gentlemen of the
House should have done with their mar
row and contracted views cf this mat
ter and act upon the broad-gaugcd prin-
ciple that the seat of the greatest Gov
ernmcnt on earth should also be the
grandcst of the worlds capitals.

Mr.. Cleycland's Failures.

There are, according TO the New York
Sun six definite enterprises which consti.
tuio the whole book OF Mr. ClCyolands
policy, ms follows;
l. The reform of the civil service,
= The suspension Of silver coinage,
3 The negotiation of M eNlradition

T. The settlement Of the fisheries
troubles hy negotiation Of treaty with
Great Britain.
D. The reduction OF the surplus by
means Of an extensive reduction Of Cus'
toms duties, retaining the internal rcvc'
nue. taxes
q The Pan Electric suit to annul the
Ben telephone patents.
Perhaps few, even OF Mr. Cleveland
supporters, are disposed Ia enter into M
argument TO show that the result recorded
in each case In single word by the Sun
Ia wrong. viz:

The administration surplus reduction
plan. Republication.
The administration Pan Electric suit.
Disgrace.
These arc really fair tests Of the honesty
aud courage which have been ~ freely
claimed rs the distinguishing qualities Of
Mr. Clevclands administration. The
abandonment OF civil service reform was
Mr. Cleve.nnd's voluntary act, and its
clear purpose was to increase his chances
for denomination and reelection. The
rational demand for a suspension OF silver
coinage, which he had declared he would
advance, and which he did at Que mo.
mcnt attempt TO advance by wrestling
with Democratic Representative, was re.
linquishcd in order to get the favor Of
Western Democrats.
In no particular whatever. except in
the capture Of the denomination by the
liberal use Of the Federal patronage has
this administration been successful one.
