THE END Of THE MUG WUMP.

Who is it that's been sat upon and dropped
with sickening thud?
Who is it that's called Dennis, and likewise
Mr. Nj nd?
Who is it that soaks in Salt river his highly
swollen headI
Who is it that is deader than the dode IN his
bed?
Who is it that is badly off his feed and off his
chump:
MuSwump.
Once he held his head up proudly, Waddled
stately as goose;
Said politics must run his way Or he would
raise the deuce;
Strutted. stamped his foot majestic,
clustered, beloved, Dragged,
With a cheek that never softened and
tongue that ne'er was tagged;
Raved and ranted like maniac, kicked as
vicious as mule.
Sure that he alone was good enough to give
the country rule.
Round the wheels of politics he buzzed,
though far from fly,
Thought the root and very linchpin OF the
world Said /:
Thought that he could smash machines up,
make or mar the finest states,
Put up or down at his sweet will all kinds Of
candidates,
Use the parties as his plaything, be the gen.
eral grand mogul:
But the people saw straight through him,
knew him for an arrant gall.
By-by and long good-by to this little tin god
oil wheels.
AS the people put him away how he yells and
screeches and squcals;
Goodby to the owl-iike face and the long
.jackass's ears,
Good-by to the monstrOus Mouth and the eye
that lies and leers;
Good-by to an utter nuisance, good-by to
total chGmp,
Good-by and good-by forever to the poor lit
tie lorn Mugwumpi

EXCLUSIVE CHRISTIANITY.

A minister Of the gospel confesses to
the GLOBE that his greatest obstacle to-
success as q teacher is not in controlling
the hosts of Satan. but the eXclusiveness
of his own congregation. The cold air
of seifishness that surroundSh his own peo-
pie acts as positive check upon any eff
fort that he may make to draw new con-
verts to the faith. 1t is one interpreta-
ton put by many so-called Christians
upon the doctrines of the man Christ,
that they were or are without the milk
of human kindness. Accepted into the
church themselves upon profession of
faith. they assume an air of indifference
and exclusion toward the remainder of
the world outside. The effect of this is
varied. Much to the satisfaction of
sensitive worshipers, it excludes from
the church the rabble, and confines the
list of new converts to the ultra-faSh-
ionable. In another direction it sue
ceeds in keeping out of church those to
whom, it is assumed, Christ never adj
dressed himself. Or. if he did, it was
to Indicate that whatever was meat for
the exclusive classes is of too rare a
character to be fed to the unfashion-
able. In the present popular discussion
of failures" it might be well to in
include query as to the success of such
churches. Light upon the subject IS
urgently needed.

The tragic death of young KING at
Omaha yesterday-murdered in the
name of love and neutrality-suspicious. to
the sociologist new thought for refec-
ton upon. The character of the victim
or the motives of the murderess play
but a small part in contemplation
that embraces the questions of polyg-
amy and mOnOgamy. For young

is to Our social system that we must
look for the loopholes that permit
moral weakness to crafty itself at the
expense of the sanctity of the home
and the purity of sexual relations.
A system that teaches polygamy
in Utah, loose divorce laws in
two-thlrds of the states. and educates
men and women to the belief that the
shame of sin is in the discovery and not
the commission. hardly blame this
woman for her deed, or the man for his
plurality of wives. Just so long as So
ciety prefers an artificial to natural
system of morality, these things will
occur. As long as marriage Since it
must be tolerated for few centuries
longer, despite free love theorists may
occur without responsibility on either
side, and there fails to take cognizance
of it stern and pure social sentiment.
secret relations will breed terrible
deeds and legal unions be broken in the
divorce court. The fault is in society
itself. that makes of love bauble, and
degrades marriage to the level Of COM

A PASSING SHADOW.

Written for the Globe.

Sometimes it comes like quiet reproach;

What noble record have you earned?
What have you done that's good?'
It whispers of opportunities gone

Gone to deaths further shore;

Hark 'mong them there is one who harps
The tenderest strings of ms heart!
81 loved you, thoagh you thought me false,
And let them tear us apart!'
Is't but fancy, that voice hear?
That sad, yet tuneful songi
It wakes again those passions wild

1t is the voice of one loved
In bright and happier years,
And as its sad notes, fill my heart,
My eyes are flied with tears.
And through tn. gathering mist see
o, heaven. is It a dream?
That face a voice says to my heart
Things are not what they SEEM
She whom I've 9ronged sleeps her last sleep I.
The thought brings me pain and regret
Sometimes to remember is only to weep,
Yet can not-No. would not forget.
