WHAT OTHERS SAY.

"GOING BACK" ON THE PARTY.
 The editor of the 1drUAce at tended the National Grcenback Il- Dor Convention in Chicago in 1880. He was also at the national conyen- ton of the same party at lndanapo- lis in 1884. And for the third time he attended the convention of the same party under new name in Cincinnati last week. From 1880 can be seen a steady deterioration, both ln the numbers attending and in the character of the delegates. In the Cincinnati convention of the Union Labor Party the farmers were conspicuous by their absence, and in their places were lot of otliCe-seek- CTS, note shavers, land spectators and petty politicians. From a con- ventlon Tn 1880 Of over 1000 dele gates, presided over by Rev. Gilbert Delamatyr, the party has dwindled down to convention of less than 200 b0na Mde delegates, with J0 to 80 more seIf-elected personages repre- scnting nothing but themselves and presided over by a man who, when a member of the Ohio Leg gisla- ture. signalized and emphasized his love for the cause of labor by voting against labor bills. The platform of the Union Labor Party Is a catch all. It's land plank Is purposely y meaningless and cannot stand care ful anaIysls, while the remainder is of far less consequence than that offered by the democrats or republl- cans. Under these circumstances q vote for Streeter, the note shaver, and Cunningham, the land spccula- tor, advances 10 vital principle not offered by some other party, and ls therefore vote thrown away. TC vote for note shayers and land specu. lators IS to vote for labors enthral mcnt, and not for labor's emancipa tion.

 kOnce more the political cycle has kng around and the politicians are aflng for Il fight for the spolls office.

This administration is bent on free trade whether the people want 1t or not. Secretary of War Endl- colt wanted 2,OO0 blankets, and got his lowest bid from mill Tn Eng land. The mill was given the con tract, and delivered the blankets to the United States agent in England. As United States property they came into this country duty free, and the United States saved $500 by not having the blankets made in the United States by our own working men. There's protection for you. And vet this same administration is asking for worklngmen's votes as the friend of labor.

Here's where the "Cross of the New Crusade will be hoisted, and the faithful be rallied to the stand ard of free trade in sermonizcrs. Judge Wallace has decided that a minister hired in England to run a church in this country comes under the law forbidding the importation of contract labor. and must con sider himself muz2led as far as pro fcssional preaching is concerned.

 The young kings messenger jumped from his seat flushed with pleasure, and right heartily laid his hand to the task. Each holding a handle of the basket, they ascended the marble steps, a superb pair to behold; he 30 win some and manly, she so graceful and fair They chatted gaily as they passed down the cool corridor, Err mengarde leading the way.
 "Fraulein," he said shyly, when they had deposited their burden, "you seem to be in authority here. Could you order me something to o-eat and drink? Then l must mount my horse and be off,"
 She conducted him to a small room near the kitchen set apart for the head forester's especial use, and opening a cupboard brought out such homely fare as the island afforded-rye bread cheese, whortleberry jam, and light beer.
 "I offer you the best have," she said coolly, "but if you had addressed yourself in the first instance to the house-steward, you would fare bet ter"
 "This is excellent; indeed, I desire nothing better" he replied, sitting down with capital appetite.
 "When you have done, please close the door. l must go back to my task, i" added Ermengarde, but under one pretext and another he induced her to stay, making his meal as quickly as possible. Then he rose, hat in hand, prepared to take leave.
 "I have one more favor to ask before l go," he said. ''I return to the kings train tomorrow. You will honor me with your hand in the dance, will you not?"
 Certainly"
 "Certainly, certainly" he exclaimed, with petulant impatience. "There will be numerous claimants for the privilege. I must have something definite-a promise"
 What trifling her face said, but the thought was not put into words; so winning the strangers manner, SO sympathetic his voice, look and speech, she could but humor him. And she was woman after all. In spite of the thoughtfulness and nobility of her character, character in which there was not vestige of coquettishness, she recognized his adoripg admiration, and the recognition brought joy.

CHAPTER Iu.-THE DANCE.

A fairy like scene was the open-air dance. Splendor could not be con- iured up on this island. No wand could transform the fiowery little Eden into the semblance of court. But the colored lanterns hanging from the trees, the rose garlands adorning the royal tent, the white dresses of the maidens, the brilliant uniforms of the men, worked wonderful transforma- ti0n. To the minds of the islanders, who had focked together in a body to greet their king, the spectacle was en- chanting, past belief.
 If the pomp was not to be trans- planted to this sea-girt domain, no more was ceremony. The king, being as yet bachelor, had brought no la- dies in his train. To the naive fisher- folk it seemed the most natural thing in the world that he should dance with Ermengarde. The head-foreeter was one of the leading persomges of the island, and his daughter the 1hirest and most acopnplished girl it could boast of. A burst of applause rose from tho assembled crowd e tho right royal looking pair now stepped forth.

Written for The ArkansdW TrdveLer. SWEET CONTENT DWELLS IN
 THE VALE.
BY IHos. BURKE.

In that season of the year When skies are soft and clear, When the sweet and balmy breeze Stirs the foliage on the trees, When the fair and lovely graces Of inspiring summer traces On the landscape near and far, Colors bright as morning star, l strolled forth one sunny day, And, by chance led, found my way To rock O'ergrown with moss, And, there seated, at a loss Where to 20 or what to do, Long Dame Natures charms did jew. Listed there with lazy pleasure To the lulling, rhythmic measure Of a purling little Till That flowed down wooded hill Listed to the trilling birds, As they mounted hcAvenwards, Or low skinned along the plain. But to soar and sing again. These, with hidden crickets' hum, Did my senses SO o'ercome, l, from meditation deep, Glided softly into sleep. And dreamed there came to me A young couple fair to see; One of them-t noble youth, Fair to look upon-in truth, Naughty held his head full high, And, gazing round with flashing eye, Saw mountain far away, And with ringing voice did say
 See Mount Glory over there, HaZy glim'ring thro' the air, To it's summit gain is fame And pever-dying name. Up that frownlng mount sublime It shall be my aim to climb" His mpanion-maIden fair, With soft eyes and golden hair, And meek and lowly mien- Glazed upon the nearby scene; Viewed tee humble prospect near. And, the while she dropped tear, Her companion to beguile, Said, with tender, loving smile Sweet content dwells in this vale, Ohl to seek her do not fail. In this valley, sheltered low, Where soft winds do ever blow, You will meet with welcome kind Here you happiness will find. Ohi seek not for Fame or Wealth, But dwell here with Love and Health" i" But the youth was all on fre- Heeding not the maid's desire, He, nc longer to delay, Toward the mountain trudged away. He attained the crown of glory, After years of toil and worry, But to find his youth had fled, And hls strength had vanished Gained that dizzy summit high, But to look down with sigh, To the vale far, far below, Where soft winds do ever blow, And he erred aloud in vain "Glve me back my youth again, With content then will dwell In the quiet, bosky dell" Heed this lesson-do not fail- sweet content dwells in the vale"
The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-09-22


 "You are right" he said. "I feel that not only my youth, but my na- ture must be sacrificed to my great ness, that slowly, yet surely and irre- vocably, shall become stranger to my sormer self. Here, for a last brief moment, snatch breath of liberty. But it was something more than & mere wild caprice that made me steal march on my courtiers yesterday" i" He glanced round, and added in an undertone: "Fame had reached me of the head forester's daughter. wanted to judge for myself if these islanders had boasted too much of their queen. ?
 A deep blush dyed Ermengarde's cheeks, and once more that remonstra- tive-"Sire"-rose to her lips.
 Remember our compact" j" he said. Surely no hard one to keep for so brief a period. I may not be unhap- pier than the ordinary run of mortals :; I may succeed in stifiing the generous impulses of my youth; but no mo- ment of the future can rival this. Do not rob me of what, once lost, can never be replaced"
 There was not vestige of coqnetry in Ermengarde's disposition, but she glowed as she listened to these flatter- ing wordA
 All her old liking for the frank, genial king's messenger had come back. There was the feeling of youth, too, which drew them together, the sense of comradeship, sympathy-call it what we will-that leads one human being to open his heart to another.
 "You must not dance with. me any more, for all that, she said. "You arc tho king to others, if only his mes senger to me."
The Arkansaw traveler., 1888-09-22

His mood changed from gay tc grave.
 "These roses, then, are g mere show of loyalty; the festive appearance this island puts on in honor of the royal visit means-nothing?"
 "What should it mean?" Ermen. garde cried again, with scornful smile. "We are not living in the child hood of history. Even the rude fisher folk now think for themselves. They know we'll enough that it is the laws that shield them from harm, not the favor of king"
 "But since these unfortunate beings kings, do exist" he went on, with re. turning sportiveness and good humor "what would you have them do? How should they behave so as to deserve a real welcome from the peoplef" "We are all Gods people, kings must first remember that" was the girls spirited reply. "Then they should reflect that the honors heaped upon them are one and all uneerned and in most cases undeserved." "On my word, ," retorted the other ito judge from you, this little island must be very hot-bed of sedition."
 By no means. These islanders have enough to do to get bread for their children. They but bide their time, The world will be wiser one day, . said the young lady with . toss of her head. Then, e If . sudden thought struck her. ah0 turnefl round ouick1v "One might suppose you were . ling

 at ease. "And I hinted my views to the head forester just now. He is
 more ambitious for you than you are
 for yourself. With his full consent
 would you quit this island for a timer"
 Ermengarde looked bewildered and
 Inexpensive. He continued: "In my
 mother you would find sure friend
 and protector. Your father could
 have no misgivings about your well
 fare. Say then that you will st least make the experiment; that you viii
 grace our court if only for a year." The prospect thus hinted at was daz-
 xling indeed. A position at court, the patronage of the queen-mother: social
 horizons widening with every year, what else should these things mean but future to satisfy any woman's aspirations? The king's good faith
 and single-mindedness were beyond
 doubt. No suspicion of evil intent
 could attach itself to his outspoken, manly nature.
 "You would be free to go or stay as you pleased" he urged. "As one of the ladies attached to my mothers
 household, you would be entirely in- dependent. You can have no piausi- ble objection to make"
 But the look of doubt in Ermen- gardSs face had given way to posi- tive negation. The moro persuasive he became the further she drew back.
