A NOn-Partisan Poet.
From the New York Tribune.


An Illinois congressman tells me Chief Justice
Fuller is non partisan poet" it is known that
the chief Justice modastly owns ND to the
authorship of funeral vorses on Garfield, Grant
and Logan, but it will surprise many of his
friends to know that an lode TO Zach Chandler
is also among his productions The ode was
written when Old Zach was alive under cir
cumstances that do credit to Mr. Fuller Ii was
during q hot political campaign and the Michi-
gan senator was to be given big reception 4
young mems republican club was managing the
affair. There were to be speeches and every
thing of that sort but some of the members
thought this was not enough. They wanted
something in the line of verse. Chicago culture
at that day was not strong in poets, and the
young men were perplexed in finding some one
who would write verses to fit the occasion In
some way Mel Fuller was suggested and the
emergency was pointed out to him. | am as
sured that Mr.. Fuller appreciated the compli-
ment. Though 9 democrat, he was not a b; goted
one, and lie admired the strong personality of
Old Zach He grathed his republican friends
by handing them an ode of the most compli-
mentary Character. II any fault could be
found, it was that the rises were perhaps too
smooth to fit the rugged subject. the only con.
dition Mr.. Fuller MAZE WAS that the authorship
was to remain. secret The poetry in the Ian.

T. B. Sims, who has just returned to the city
with his family, had awful fright the other
night on board of a Pullman sleeping car. 1t
appears that his little daughter, about years
OF age, got up to get a drink of water. Return
ing. she missed the section where her father
was, and lay down beside an old gentleman
from New Orleans, whom, in the darkness, she
mlstook for her papa. In an instant she was
asleep. In the meantime Mrs. Sims waited and
waited for the child to come back until in Jt.-
thence gave way to anxiety. and anxiety TO
alarm Finally she awoke Mr.. Sims and told

out OF bed, ransacked the toilet
rooms, CROPPED in every conceivable
corner, but the child was nowhere. An open
door at the rear end of the coach suggested
horrible possibility, which the cheerful porter
clinched with the soothing information that the
door had been open for half an hour. At last,
hoping against hope, Mr.. Sims cast ceremony
to the dogs and one by one began 10 explore
every section in the coach in spite Of
the protests of the inmates. Finally, snugiy

little girl asleep at the side OF the old gentle
man from New Orleans, who slept like craven

parties concerned none was more surprised than
the strange old party from New Orleans.

A Good Showing,

The south is moving on. Every new
statement of her industrial condition shows
hat she is advancing. The latest Of these
statements is published by the New Orleans
Times Democrat, and EMBRACES compari-
son of her condition for the year ending
Sept. l, 1883, with that ending on the same
date last year. 1t appears that the assessed
valuation of her property for tho year of
lsS7'SS is ST., 240, IA, 722 against s., O64 500
443 for the previous year. The assessed
wealth per capita is $171 II, and the actual
wea tn 1852 43. Comparing the figures of
1888 with those of 1880, there Is an in
crease in her population of PA per cent. in
miles of her railroads of 100 per cent in
hands employed in her factories of III per
cent. in her capital of l43 ) per cent. In
her farm products of POI per cent in her
farm animals of 55.s per cent. in the value of
her fruit of 1l3. 4 per cent. iii her com bined
agricultural, mining, manufactures, fisher
| les and other productions Of 42.5 per cent
The assessments of property for the year of
1SS7lSs show the following figures: Georgia,
$341 ,5O4 921; South Carolina, $141 ,495, 056;
Florida, Si.s60534
As gratifying as these figures are, those
published for the year of 1SsS-S9 will no
doubt be more SO. The south is enjoying a
material boom that is as solid as it is re-
markable, and her progress is a matter of
favorable comment all over the country
Her people are learning the value of adj
vertising. Industrial journals, whose pages
are filed with statements of fact concerning
the entire section, as well rs with adver-
tisements of particular localities and
cities, have sprung up in every direction.
A cursory reading of the best of them
will convince any one that tae southern
people have caught the spirit Of enterprise
Statistical bureaus in a number of the states
keep the public posted, and in several states
special exhibit cars have been sent lately
into the west. This is true of Georgia and
Alabama, the first of which is now making
an exhibit of her various products at the
fairs held in the west, while Alabama has
sent out two cars, containing specimens of
her mineral, timber and agricultural prod
ucts. The future is full of prom Use for the
| south.

headed by Gov. Robert Taylor, may be de-
feated, as the opposing candidate is making
very vigorous canvass. The Nashville

In the election of the last presidential year
the republican majority lacked about 600
votes Of being 10000, AMI the returns this
year should be compared with those figures
Tho republicans have been making ire
mendous effort to maintain this majority,
but reports from the state Indicate that
they may not DO able to do SO. In fact, it
is said that the majority will be cut down
considerably. Any majority short of 10, 700
will be setback TO the republican cause

The statement that trusts have no place in
the national campaign and are mere state
issues cannot be sustained. Comparatively few
trusts have distinct character as state con-
Germs. The great aiority of them are made up
OF firms, corporations or individual conspiratorS
from a number of states, and the purpose of
their organization is to invade the field of inter
state commerce and control certain industries
not in any one state, but in all parts of the
union.

The attention of those people who do not
believe in trusts is called to tho fact that
high protection, such as the republicans de-
maud is itself in the nature of n gigantic
trust. On this subject the New York Times
says that nominally the protective system is
for the benefit of all American manufact-
urers, but in reality it is only for n COM
paratively small number Of them. It's
methods are those of trust, as it
seeks to monopolize the home market, to
shut out competition and to make buyers
and consumers pay higher prices without
any equivalent in quantity or quality.
