ESOP AND THE BEASTS.

He sat among the woods; he heard
The sylvan merriment; he saw
The humors of the beast and bird,
The pranks of donkey and of daw.
And in the lion and the frog.
In all the tribes of swamp ald den
In deer and hare, in stork and log,
Marked the simlitudes of men.
"From these, of these. 4" he cried, I'VE come;
Our hearts and brains descend from theSe;'
And 10, the beasts no more were dumb,
But answered out of brakes and trees.
And thus, perchance, their saying ran:
NAY, not from us your folly springs
o, deeply fallen race of man,
Bewildered about empty things
For we have neither hope nor dread,
We look not forward or behind.
We lead the life our fathers led,
We live like Clouds or streams, or wind:
''For we have neither doubt nor faith,
For we are neither bond nor free;
We hear tho word that Nature saith,
And nigh to Natures heart are we.
"Behold, we neither laugh nor weep,
Are well content with everything;
But We would fly that scarce can creep,
And ye would speak, that scarce can sing.
Nay, were there cause for moan or mirth
Ills we, not you, should sigh or scorn.
@, latest children OF the earth,
Most childish children earth hath borne"
They spake, but that mishappen slave
Told never Of the thing he heard,
And unto men their portraits gave
In likenesses of beast and bird.

"What succeeds we keep, and it becomes
the habit Of mankind. ''-THEo. PARKER.

NUICK sales is the standard
~ by which we measure the
success Of a line of goods. What
sells succeeds, and what sue
ceeds we keep. True merit
creates its own demand finds
it's own market, and obtains its
own price. Honest goods at
lowest prices win the day, and
they do it by a force of their
own. No dealer is driven to the
task of working up a boom for
goods whose merit is apparent
at first sight, and whose reputa-
ton improves with contact.
The quality and quantity of our
stock being undeniable, we need
only to add that our prices are
the lowest. In Gold Watches
and rich Jewelry we have a
large variety of designs, and at
figures hitherto unsurpassed.
Call and see us and be con-
vinced that we are not misrep-
resenting facts.

4 Remarkable Record of business
Growth in the Houth.

The Manufacturers Record, in its annual
review Of the South's industrial progress,
shows that the capital represented by new
mining and manufacturing enterprises or
gauized i'm 1883 was $l6S, 500, 900. During
1855 there were organized in the South 36lS
new enterprises against 343O in 1887, and
1910 in 1856, total in three years OF 1923,
in addition to which there were hundreds
Of small enterprises, such as grist mills,
gins, etc. not counted in this enumeration.
Since 1880, 10000 miles of railroad have
been built in the South, and over SOC, 900,
600 have been spent in building new roads
and improving old ones Cotton mills have
increased from lSO with 10, 222 looms and
1l3 $50 spindles in 1850 to over 300 mills,
with about IS, 600 looms and I 800, 600 spin
lies, while many new mills are under con
struction, and many old ones are being en-
| larged The value Of cotton goods made
m the South was S2l 900, 600 in 1880, and
nearly $50 OOO, 600 in 1883. There were 4C
cotton seed oil mills in the South in 1880
now there are about 100, with about SIP,
| 600 600 invested. The value of the South's
agricultural products for 1883 was about
$500 0OO, GOO, against Sj11 600. 900 in 1879
| The value of the South's live stock is now
| 500. OOO. 600, while in 1879 it was 1891,
400 600 The production of grain rose
from 49, GA, $50 bushels in 1880 to 626,

From the Burlington Free Press
Ever since the result Of the votes counted
and returned for presidential electors be
came known the Democratic papers of the
country have been trying TO extract some
consolation from the apparent Democratic
plurality Of about lOO, 900, as against only
about 25 600 four years ago, and have used
| this as an argument for the abolition Of the
electoral college. Let us see how this plu-
rality was obtained. The northern states
| gave Mr. Blaine in 1884 a plurality Of i33,
0nO in 1883 they gave Gen. Harrison plu-
rality of Ill 900 This was a loss for Mr..
Cleveland Of Is, 600 In the states of Del
aware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia,
| North Carolina Tennessee, Kentucky, Mis-
souri, and Arkansas, in the majority of
which 1t is conceded by Republicans that
there are fair elections, aad in others that
there is at least an approach 10 such cleo
tons, Mr. Cleveland received in the aggre-
| gate 1913 600 votes more than Mr.. Blaine.
At the election in November these last
named states gave him plurality of only
| 1875, 600, which shows relative loss Of 49,
| 900. 1t appears then that in the Northern
states, where the elections are free, and in
those Southern states where there is an ap
proach to such freedom, Mr. Cleveland lost
| 80, 900 as compared with four years ago, or
more than double his plurality over Mr..
Blaine The figures Of the vote in the re
naming states show very plainly how it
happens that. in the face Of this loss, he
still has an increased plurality of the total
popular vote. The states of South Carolina,
Florida, Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana and Texas, which gave Mr.. Cleve-
land in 1884 a plurality Of 3l3, 900, rolled
up for him in 1888 the enormous plurality
Of 42, 900 The total vote of South Caro-
lima was but ~, 600 as compared with 1872,
600 in 1876, and voting population of
24O,0 600 Georgia cast 142, 600 out Of d
possible $50, 600, and less by 1000 than il
cast twelve years ago Louisiana return.
ll5,OOO out of voting population of twice
that number, as against 49, 900 in 1876
Mississippi showed similar reduction from
the same election. Alabama cast about the
same vote as twelve years ago, while Flor
ida and Texas showed an increase. The
census of 1850 showed that these state,
were rapidly increasing in population II
only one of these states was anything lik,
the full vote polled
In all the others the most of the coloret
Republican vote was suppressed If it ha,
been fairly cast and counted General Har
rison's plurality of the popular vote woul,
he not less than half million. In view o
these facts it is not surprising that fair
minded people are not greatly impressed b,
the fictitious plurality obtained for Mr.

HOW THE UNITED STATES WAR SHIPS BROUGHT
GEN. LEGITME To TERMS
The arrival of the steamer Prins Maurt-
at New York on Saturday, brought details
of the surrender Of the steamer Havtieu
Republic, which was seized by the Hayten
authorities some weeks ago 1t appears
that the United States war steamers Gaeua
and Nantic, which left New York on Dec
-, entered the harbor Of Port au Prince
ON Dec 20, at o o'clock in the morning
The description given Of the scene is very
graphic. We are told that these two rep
resentatives of the United States navy
steamed into port with shotted guns, tor
pcdo booms and decks cleared for action. %
and that while the Galena remained at
some distance. with broadside and pivot
guns trained ON the Haytien man Of war
Dessalines, and prepared to fire at the first
hostile demonstration, the Nantic ran
slowly to within 100 feet of the docks
where the Haytien Republic was at anchor.
trained its own guns on the city, and at
tached a stern line to the captive vessel.
Lieut.. Griffin went ashore Immediately
ON the arrival of the Nantic at the dock
and obtaining an interview with Legitime
presented the ultimatum of Secretary Bay
ard and Admiral Luce which was that
within four hours the Haytien Republic
must be surrendered under penalty of bonn
bardnent, to be directed against Legitime' ;
navy and his capital city.
This was sufficient. Legitime, finding
that no delay would be tolerated, under
formal protest and appeal for future arbi
tration, commanded one of his gun boat,
to tow the Hayten Republic to the position
in the outer harbor occupied when captured
and to have such slight damage as has beer
done to her repaired by his mechanics
Night fell before her cable could be sever
ed, as her anchor chains had been badly
foued. The formal return was not made
| until the next day.
Whether it was really needful in order t,
vindicate the outraged majesty of the Unit
ed States of America that quite so mucl
display of ferocious preparation should b,
made on entering the harbor of Port al
Prince, is open to some question, perhaps
There are those who will he inclined L

If the governor Of West Virginia has
put aside law in order to serve his party,
he is astonishingly foolish in this case, for
there is a Republican majority to organize
the House without either of the members
from West Virginia, but that does not make
him decent man. 1t does not make his
conduct less disgraceful or less disloyal In
that case this particular Democrat will be
considered, by every respectable citizen of
any party, a person incomparably more
guilty and more dangerous to civilized so
ciety than any of the thieves, murderers,
bandits and other criminals who are hunted
