wILLlE.s QUEST.

Ineard my mother say, to-day.
The flowers softly sleep
Beneath the wind-piled drifts of snow
So sparkling and so deep;
And that the zephyrs of the May
Will penetrate the gloom.
And kiss their fragrant. drowsv ewes
And wake them into bloom.
Twas then took my little spade
And dug away, in hope
vi turning up sleeping rose
Or strand of heliotrope,
Which by the warm-breathed register
In water Knight place,
Ontii the furnace zephyrs gave
fnem all their blooming grace.
wanted them to give the bird
TO make him dream of May
And meads embroidered with swift brooks.
AND white with daisy spray.
fancied they would charm the bird,
Who'd hop into his ring,
And make the dining-room seem like
garden in the spring
dug away with aching hands,
And still no flowers found
And, really, I don't believe
They're sleeping under groui
But believe that in the fall,
When blown in eddies gay,
They turn to gaudy butterflies
And lightly fly away.

CURRENT COMMENT.

There will be neither shuttle,
skulk nor straddle in the st. Louis
platform. st. Louis Republican,
1t is understood that if Sherman
is nominated for the Presidency he
will adopt as his campaign anthem a
slightly revised edition of the "Song
of the Shirt 49, Chicago Herald.
If MI. Blame is out of politics
forever he should favor his country
men with a straight, truthful story
about the Mulligan letters and his
memorable case of sunstroke. - sc.
Louis Post Dispatch.
With Sherman, Foraker and
Mckinley all having their Presiden-
tial lightning rods up, Ohio's claim
to having more statesmen to the square
inch than any other section of the
country isn't in imminent danger Of
being interfered with. Boston Herald.
In his remarks at the Union
League reception Mr.. Depew referred
to President Cleveland as /" the heavy
party" When the attempt is made
next fall to remove Mr.. Cleveland
from the Presidency the Republicans
will think that he is heavier than the
eternal hills. Quincy (I1.) Journal
1t is not easy to get the truth
out of Mr.. Blaine--it never was--and
the most he can be induced to say is
that he will not permit his name to go
before the convention. But his name
is likely to be presented without his
permission, and if he means business
why doesn't he say that if nominated
he shall refuse the nomination. 1t is
feared that Mr.. Blaine's rivals will not
find him a dead-head in the nomination
enterprise. -C Chicago Herald.

Pope Meo Denonnced,

The letter of the Pope explaining the re-
script on the Irish question. has caused an
unusual stir among the Irish citizens of
Chicago. A reporter for local paper called
on ex.Congressman John F. Finerty, most
prominent in the meeting of protest called
at Battery D some weeks ago, and asked
him what he thought of the new e1plana-
ton.
"I can only say what I said when the re.
script was first discussed" was his reply.
SIT is an interference in Irish politics. IF
Archbishop Walsh had taken the ground he
should have taken, this second letter would
never have been sent. If the Irish bishops
of the nineteenth century had the backbone
of the English bishops of the thirteenth cen.
tury, they could easily have brought Leo
XIII to terms. AS it is, the fight falls on
the people. The issue is made at last. For
the last seven hundred years the Irish peo.
pic have been suffering the tortures of the
damned because of papal interference in
Irish affairs. Next to England, Rome has
been Ireland's greatest political enemy, and
it is on questions of politics alone, and not
on matters of faith, that am speaking. To
have the homes of Ireland leveled to the
ground, the fathers and the brothers and
the sons butchered, the wives. sisters and
daughters outraged, the infants piked
or bayoneted, and all promiscuously
starved, ia combination of horrors
before which the devil himself must
stand appalled,. If that is a legitimate
government-snd Pope Leo XIII maintains
that it is-then legitimate government
springs from the devil, and not from God,
and it should be opposed, whether the Pre-
mier of England or the Pope of Rome is its
moutbpiece. The Pope of Rome has no
power to damn me or any other Catholic.
His latest utterance is an outrage on Irish
Catholic manhood and womanhood. The
Pope of Rome, the head of the Catholic
Church, is in all toatters of religion supreme
but the Pope OF Rome, an Italian prince
with an Italian policy to carry out, at no
matter what expense to the other Catholic
peoples, is fair subject for Irish criticism,
and it is from this standpoint | criticize
him. am Catholic am believer 10

ADynamite Plot Frustrated.

By bold, timely action, Inspector Bonfeld
of Chicago, yesterday morning probably
saved the lives Of himself and Judges Gary
apd Grinnell In small frame house in
the vicinity of Ashland avenue and Thirty
third street were found twelve dynamite
bombs, revolver and knife, and as the
owner of the articles stepped to the side
walk he was arrested by Bon6eld in person
and taken to the police station. Two other
arrests were made later. When questioned
as to what the prisoners intended to do,
Inspector Bonield confined himself to say
ing: "There was a conspiracy of long stand
ing, and it was about to be put into execu-
tion. They intended to use the dynamite
on Judge Gary, Judge Grinnel and myself
The chief prisoner is an old-time anarchist,
and was prominent in tho schemes of Hay.
market times. Before making the first ar
rest Bonfield had the house surrounded by
five picked officers. Just as daylight was
breaking, the Inspector was joined in the
vicinity By stranger, and g few moments
later q man emerged FROM the house. Ihe
stranger nudged Bonfeld and en- order vas
given to the men, who closed on the
man. He made desperate fight, but
was quickly overpowered and placed
in charge Of two CT the officers.
Bonfeld and the other officers then
rushed into the house. They were met on
the stairs by woman, the wife Of the man
who had been captured, but she was brush
ed aside, and the police, guided by the
stranger entered hall bedroom, where,
hidden in corner, the inspector found an
even dozen dynamite cartridges wrapped in
brown paper. . A further search of the room
disclosed large revolver and dagger. Some
letters and other papers we're also taken
care OF by the police. Then patrol wagon
was called and the prisoner was taken to the
station. The officers next went to house
some distance away, which, it is supposed,
was 3016 Quinn street. Here The two other
arrests were made, and all three taken TO
the Central Station. Inspector Bontield is
reported to have said that the plot was
well-arrnnged one. About twenty deter
mined murderers were in the conspiracy,
and they were, at II certain hour after mid
night last night, to be at the homes of Grin
nell, Gary, Bonield, Frank Walker, Gen.
Stiles and others, prominent in the prose-
cution Of the anarchists. Dynamite was to
be placed beneath the houses of these, and
the powerful explosive was TO bo touched off
simultaneously. The Board of Trade was
to be blown to the sky at the came time, and
q wholesale reign of terror inaugurated.
