SILVER AND GOLD.
BY EDITH NJ. THOMAS.

ID LOl1 Ne lT1OMACs
Farewell, my little sweetheart,
Now iare you well and free;
1tlaim nom you no promise,
You claim no vows from me.
The reason why ?-the reason
Right well we can uphold
] have TOO much of silver,
And you've too much OF gold
A puzzle. this. to worldlings,
Whose love to lucre flies.
Who think that gold to silver
Should count as mutual prize;
But I'm not avaricious.
And you re not sordid souled;
have too much OF silver,
And you've too much OF gold.
Upon our heads the reason
Too plainly can be seen;
| am the Winter 8 bond slave,
You are the Summers queen;
Too few the years you number,
Too many l have told;
i have too much of silver,
And you've too much of gold.
You have the rose for token,
have the dry leaf and rlme;
i have the sobbing vesper,
You, morning bells at chime,
I would that were younger.
(And you grew never old)-
Would l had less of silver,
But you no less of gold

Rests Witch the Wage-Earners.

tOIII 4NCW 1OIh
The average of wages paid in this
country was fully double the average
paid I'm Great Britain in 1880, and there
fore must be more than double In 1888.
Such are the results of the protective
policy, which President Cleveland and
the advocates of the Mills bill are en-
deavoring to break down. 1t rests with
the wage-earners themselves to decide
whether they shall succeed.

IRREGULAR BALLOTS.
Possibility of Mr.. Cariisle's Vote Being
Thrown Out.

Possibility of Mr.. Cariisle's Vote Being
Thrown Out.
CovINGToN, KY, Nov. 9.-There is talk Of
throwing out the Carlisle ballots in Campbell
county and some of those in Kenton county
on account Of an alleged illegality in the bal
lots Instead Of being plain ballots with no
distinguishing mark, as the law directs, the
Carlisle ballots in Campbell and Kenton
counties were printed in long slips separated
by perforations that they might be easily
torn apart. They were torn carelessly apart,
leaving the ballots of irregular shape and
containing the perforation. Carlisie's ma
iority is placed at about 5000 Should the
election boards of Campbell and Kenton
counties decide to throw out the entire vote
for Carlisle his majority would be reduced to
nothing or thereabouts The Campbell
county board is Republican, and a pressure
will be brought to bear upon it to throw the
votes. and according TO the election law regu-
lating the printing and casting Of ballots they
cannot. it is said, do anything less. Should
any number OF the ballots of Kenton county
be thrown out for similar reason-that is
being irregular or perforated, then Carlisl,
would be in a minority and Hamiltons cleo
tion assured. II is said that Mr.. Carlisle has
consulted legal advice.
