''Rage on-thou may'st destroy this form,
And lay it low at rest;
But still the spirit that now brooks
Thy tempest. raging high,
Undaunted on its fury looks
With steadfast eye."

''Come on-your threats l brave;
My last poor life drop you may drain,
And crush me TO the grave;
Yet still the spirit that endures
Shall mock your force the while,
And meet each cold, cold grasp Of yours
With bitter smile.''

Ye may pursue me till my form
And being are forgot;
Yet still the spirit which you see
Undaunted by your wiles.
Draws from its own nobility

D .tStrike deep-my heart shall bear;
Thou canst but add one bitter woe

This last severe distress,

Fast Youth Who Had Lots of Fun
Spending Stolen Money.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
DENVER, November 23-Among the more re-
cent arrivals in Denver is an exceedingly hand
some young man named George Corydon, of VIII
mington, Del Among the things that accom-
panied the young man was a mandolin, a big
bulldog an express rifle, a box containing
nearly 5000 Turkish cigarettes, and upward of
S3O,OUO in gold coin and greenbacks. All of
these things excepting the bulldog and the
mandolin Johnny stole from his wealthy father,
who owns and operates cotton goods factory
at Wilmington. Just how the lad obtained
possession of such large Doodle does not ap-
pear: He distributed his wealth with lavish
hand, and has been enjoying himself as can
only young man TO whom the wickedness of
the world IS an attraction. The apartments he
occupied were sumptuously furnished, partly
with his money, and the delicacies such as
wines, cigars, fruits and sweatmeats with which
he kept himself surrounded were plentiful and
OF the most expensive variety. His guests of
the gentler sex were not noted for their moral
ity.
The young mans life of luxury was not des-
tined to last long. The father although
wealthy was unwilling to part with such a
large sum, and through the assistance of de-
tecttVes the son was to-day arrested and part of
the money recovered.

Pau-AmerIcan Federation.

In that day, II not soonsr, will be accom-
plished the federation of the American States.
1t will come because the tremendous possibili-
ties of modern invention in the development
and association of countries not separated by
antagonistic governments and by the ambitions
of rulers and direct opposition of interests
will lead with irresistible force to the closest OF
intimacy for the common good ana for pro-
lection against the intrusion for selfish inter
est of those countries which are less pro-
gresslVe, which, by reason of the vast com.
petitiVe population of laborers, puts its
products on the market at the least possible
cost, and therefore tends to prevent or retard
the independence, the self-development, of the
newer countries, aud to reduce the better pay
OF labor In those countries to the level of the
'pauper labor of Europe"
1t may be that the delegates to the "Pan-
American Congress" who are here to consult
in regard to those interests are unconscious of
it, but this hemispherical federation is in the
air. 1t will not accomplish all that is wanted
by the poets who foresee the federation of
the world" 1t may not be what is desired by
the modern economist, or what he knows viii
be the outcome Of the industrial conditions
that have revolutionized production and must
revolutionize the system on which production
and the individual acquisition of wealth are
now based.

THE NEW COMBINATIONS

The idea that control and check for
competition between the Western and Trans
continental railroads was to be established
by the combination with connecting lines,
which the Union Pacific recently formed, is
thoroughly exploded by the combination Of
the Rock Island and Santa Fe roads. Ac-
cording to the reports spread of the earlier
agreement, it was to be supposed that it
would rule the transcontinental situation

such idea, it has now been eradicated BY the

PAN-AMERICAN UNION.

The Federation ofthe Republics Of rhe Con.
finent Considered as Possibility Of the
Future-ReciprocaI Benefits TO be
Gained by the Different States,
CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DIsPArcH.1
WASHINGTON. November 22-The object of
the convention of the Congress of the Three
Americas is. of course, to exchange views in re-
gard to the mutual interests of the various
countries represented, and to take action which
will promote those interests and bring those
countries into more familiar association. COM
mercially if in no other way. Whether there ia
any clearly-defned plan lurking in the brain of
any one Of the delegates, is not yet developed.
1t is to be assumed that each one has his own
device for the aggran dizement of his own
country, and, through it, of all the Others as no
matter what is done it must have reciprocal re-
suits. Whether any one takes, or will take
that broad. universal" view of things sug
gested by the name "Pan-American." is doubt
full. Politicians and diplomats are brought to
see only by the march of events. by force of
circumstances that which poets and philoso-
pliers recognize as inevitable from present
conditions that to others are incomprehensible.
Poet economists of France and Germany saw
long years ago that competition would result in
combination and consolidation, but it required
periods of bitter experience to teach the lesson
to even the greatest of 'fnanciers."
The parliament of man" and the Efedera-
tion Of the W orld' have been foretold BY philos-
ophers, economists and imaginative writer's for
hundreds of years, and yet it Is only in the
closing days Of the second 1000 years of that
period of modern times known as the Christian
era, that congress Of the States Of almost an
entire hemisphere meet together to talk of
general interests; and even If there dwell in
memher9 a
dream of a grand hemispherical federation, he
would fear to speak Of it. thinking it might be
looked on as the chimera of ''crank." Yet
the federation of all the States of the Western
Hemisphere is certain to be one of the consum-
nations of the near future. Not their fedora
tion under one Government, but their union in
purpose, in sentiment and practical co-opera-
tlon in all that may conduce to the progress
and development of the whole, instead Of a
policy that tends to develop the stronger at the
expense of the weaker.

The declaration from West Virginia that
there are no feuds, such as have been
reported, is calculated to increase conf
dence in the security of life in that
State. But its value is somewhat dam
aged by the simultaneous publication of
the story of nine murders which have been
committed in the course of the feud as related
by one of the Hatfields. 1t is not always easy
to wipe such vendettas out of existence. People
will fight shy of that section until it learns to
keep the peace.

and any other than the republic will be but

Canada and other provinces of British America

night is to follow day. When the first news of
the reality OF revolution in Brazil was received
here remarked to a citizen of Montreal stop
ping at one of our hotels: THAT is the knell of
death to monarcaioal rule In the Americas to
the very last shred and semblance OF it." The
Canadian laughed derisively and insinuated
that the experiment of repubieanism in the
United States was not so benefcent to the
masses as to make other countries anxious to
sign their names to the roll of republics,
Yet he had hardly laughed out his laugh be-
fore there came from Canada the first notes of
the new republican movement which must in
evitably be the result of the revolution in
Brazil, and it requires nothing of the spirit of
prophecy to foreten that within the next ten
years every American State that now paws
tribute in either money or loyalty to the ridicu-
lous system of hereditary rule, founded on
what might be called the almost idiocy of the
masses, will have become republicanized

LONDON, November 23-Lord Newborough,
of Glynlifon, Carnarvonshlre, died nearly Is
months ago, leaving instructions to his heirs
that on November 20. 1889 his body should be
taken to Bardsey Island, lonely islet off the
Welsh coast, and placed in grand mausoleum
which he had built there within sound of the
Atlantic Ocean. The instructions were faith
fully carried out last Wednesday,
Newborough's affection for Bardsey was due,
firstly, to the fact that the island has been in
his family's possession for several centuries,
having been given to one of his ancestors by
King Edward VI, for conspicuous bravery as
standard bearer at the battle of Norwich. and,
secondly, because-according to tradition
10000 Welsh saints have en'buried there.
