MY SHIPS THAT WENT TO SEA

One after one they slipped the stocks
And one by one they sailed;
Slow creaked the heavy tackle blocks
And low the remnants trailed,
AS out beyond the restless tide
Fast ebbing-far to lee
They drifted DER the ocean wide
My ships that went to sea.
Adown the long horizons rim,
l watched them as they passed,
Until within the distance dim
They faded out at last;
As happy birds, that seek the skies
When first from cage set free,
So disappeared before mine eyes
Ny ships that went to sea.
And other ships have come and gone
Since my ships sailed away,
And many year in dusk and dawn
And many night and day
Full oft the grass has shimmered green
And budded flower and tree.
But since that hour none have seen
My ships that went to sea.
And yet-and yet-within my dreams
Shows every mast and rope
And Sweetly on my farewell CLEANS
The smiling face of Hope:
My slumbering fancies grope affair."
Through visions not to be.
see them cross the harbor bar
My ships that went to sea.
Ah, nevermore! Nay, nevermore!
Shall | such gladness feel,
For on some storm-strewn rocky shore,
Lies every shattered keel;
And still, defyinS all that Fate
Has brought or keeps for me,
Upon the moaning sands wait
My ships that went to sea.

DETROIT, Mich, Aug. 30.-Colonel
Elliott F. Shepard was interviewed on
political matters. Inasmuch as Colo
mel Shepard and a large number of
southern democratic editors are the
city's guests the kindly Christian char
| ity that is manifested in the talk VIII
be appreciated. Speaking of Mr..
Cleveland, the great ethical editor said:
CIeveland's idea was TO strengthen
himself with the south even more in
his second term than during the first.
His plan was to secure control Of con-
gress and then TO divide Texas into
four states. admit Utah and New Mex
| leo. but TO shut out the republican ter
FftOries. The bargain was made with
| the Mormcns to admit Utah IL they
/ would elect democratic senators. Thus
/ the senate would have sSeen democratic
and we would have been ruled by the
| reasonable southerneTs with WHOM
Cleveland was already in alliance.
Cleveland planned that he could then
be elected to q third term without 3
single northern state. The result
would be that the south WoE1d, through
| Cleveland. control the nation. The
negroes would be resubiected, the poor
white trash Of the south would he
driven ont. and the north would Be at
| tile mercy Of the rebels. These plans
would probably have been covered up
by some pretended political issue Of
another character, but think that had
| Cleveland been reelected We would
have had another war during the four
wears of his term. The south would
no doubt have been anxious TO with
draw from the Union again, and the
people Of the north would not stand It.

ONO DEMOCRATS.

James z. Campbell Nominated for
GOVernOr-COnventtOn Notes.
DAYTON, Ohio, Aug. 2S.-Hon. Jas.
E. Campbell of Butler county was
nominated for governor by the demo
cratic convention on the second ballot.
Mr.. Campbell, on being presented,
accepted the nomination. He said
this was no ordinary campaign, and
the task not one of mere routine. The
most obvious of the duties of the dem
ocratic party was to rebuke the viola
ton of the unwritten law of the cOun-
try that no officers of the government
shall be elected TO third term. In
spite of the presidents of Washington
and Grant the strangers of the repub-
lican party have decided that the pow
erS shall be continued in the hands of
the most profligate administration the
state has ever known. Mr.. Campbell
went on to arraign the administration
of the republican party IN Ohio in Sc
we're terms and also the administration
of Governor Foraker. Such a
dangerous autocrat as governor
Foraker must undoubtedly be de-
throned by the people of Ohio. Passing
into national issues he declared that
the obvious duty of the party is to ed
ucate the people on the subject of tar
l if reform. Both parties concede that
revenue in excess of necessity is col
| lected by the government. Both agree
that the surplus should be reduced.
The democratic party alone has sought
to do this by passing tariff reform
measure by the house, but the republic
cans of che senate repudiated it as a
free trade measure.
MIR. Lawrence 1. Neal was tben pre-.
sented with warm enthusiasm. In q
/ warm, impassioned speech he de.
clared his agreement with the cOnven-
/ ton concerning himself and his dis
/ trust of his ability to properly assume
the responsibilities of the nomination
But he declared with'emphasis that il
this campaign the successful man to
day would do no more for the success
| of the pBrty than would he himself fol

ton was followed by tremendous
cheering.

Are you willing to give an express
len of opinion as to the shooting of
Terry by Deputy Marshal Nagle2''
Certainly l am and the young
looking, smooth proved old man
touched the tip of the fore6nger of his
left hand to his lips and then moved
his hand downward as if but to turn
over onother leaf. This is one of the
peculiar gestures Mr.. Field has in
conversation. When a subject is of
close interest his forefinger touches
his lips often. and he appears to want
To turn the leaves rapidly in order to
get at the innermost facts as soon as
possible.
Certainly am. Every citizen
ought to have an opinion and ought
to express it. My readiness to do so
is not lessened by the fact that Judge
Field is my brother. Does any one doubt
that Terry was ruffian2r
What was Nagl's legal position2''
i think Maggie was justified in what
he did. The law of California is plain
in its provisions for such q case. The
language OF the penal code-I quote
only from memOry-iS to the effect
that any citizen is justified in taking
life TO prevent an unjust assailant
from doing great bodily injury to an
innocent person. Moreover Nagle was
deputed to attend the Judge and to see
that no harm came to him. Terry in a
stealthy manner arose from the
table, went behind the Judge
and gave him a severe blow in
the face. He then raised his hand as
If to strike on the back of the iudge's
head or take knife from his coat yfst
which to stab the Judge. At this mo-
ment Nagle called to him to stop. He
gave Maggie no heed and tbereupor
\ agile put an end to his ability TO ds
any further harm, In this NaQIe was
right, independently of the California
code. -

There were wo good reasons: First,
that the state officials in San Joaquin
county, where the shooting took place,
appeared to be either wicked or in
tenseiy ignorant. There was, appa-
rently, nest Of outlaws in that local
lty and it was better TO get away from
there to another place where the law
was understood and respected Sec
0ndly, Nagle was an officer OF the
United Safes, acting in the discharge
OF his duty, and the government was
under obligations TO protect him. The
protection in such case is through its
courts, and therefore it was not only
his right but the dictate Of prudence
to betake himsef to the authority un-
der which he was acting. Suppose the
shooting took place in the court house
In San Francisco and that Terry stole
behind the judge, struck one blew and
was about strike another, and an OIL
Ger of the court shot Terry. Wouldn't
that be a case in which the federal jul
ciary would have competent jurisdic-
