YOUR MOTHER.

BY DAVID T. J. FULLER.
Be kind to your mother,
She's old now and gray,
Her DAYS upon earth
Are fast passing away.
And oh how You'll miss
That dear mother when gone,
Twill seem night to you here.
Though to her twill be dawn.
Oh think of the days
When in trouble and trial,
Your heart has been cheered
By that dear mothers smile.
When she wept with your sorrow
And laughed with your joy,
And always brought comfort
To her darling boy.
Then with never a word
Or look make her sad,
But with Kindness and love
Make her heart always glad.
And your soul will ba happy
With Joy like no other,
II you always can say
Twas kind to My mother.

We must always remember with graft
tude some great services done to Amer
Jeans by foreigners; that De Tocque>
Vile and Bryce have given US the most
philosophic treatises On our Government
and social condition, Won Hoist the
best constitutional history of the United
States, and the Cou1te de Paris the best
history of ou.' civil war. In all these
cases the writer's combine thorough and
faithful preparation with the impartial
ity of view which is the great advan
tage of the foreigner. We must remem-
ber, too. that even the hasty and often
plunderlng criticisms of foreigners,
from Mrs. Trollope to Mathew Arnold,
have often been yerv beneficial through
the grains of truth thew held, and, even
if they held none, have enabled us to
grow BY degrees less sensitive, and
therefore more self-reliant. Again, just
as the American verdict on English
writer's, as Tsnnyson and Carlyle, has
often been more prompt and penetrat-
fng than that Of their own countrymen,
SO it has often been Europeans who
gave the first certificates OF honor to our
own men. At a time Q651) when it was

The Bards of Ireland.

I n. Mcdonald IN Harper's BazaI:
Though the bard as a member Of dis
tinct guild possessed Of manv hereditary
rights and privileges has long ceased to
exist in Ireland, members Of the bardic
order may be still occasionally met with
in Kerry. and elsewhere throughout the
provinces IF Munster and Connaught.
It is needless to say that their condition
is widely different now from the time
when they were attached to the courts
of kings. had an honorable place in the
households of the mobiles and chiefs, &C.
companied the armies to battle, and
sang the praises of che victors, or Ia
mented the deaths of their heroes.
! Diodorus Siculus relates that among
the Celts in his time were composers OF
melodies, called bards, who PLAYED on
| instruments like Tyres, and sang pane
gyrical or invectiYe strains. Posidonius
| (B. c.. 3O} states that the Celts take with
them to battle people whom they main
| tain, called bards, who celebrate their
praises, and publish the achievements
of their eminent men in song. That
music was cultivated by others in Ire
land as we'll as by the bards is evident
from the writings Of Giraldus Cam
brensis (11S8), who wrote that bishops,
abbots aud holy men in Ireland had
harps upon which they piously amused
themselves by playing.
Important as the function Of the bards
was among the ancient Irish, they had
no hand in the production of the epic
literaturs of the country. The authors

known as file, wno formed branch OF

munity of scholars. The bards, at least
in less ancient times. vera mere natural
poets, songsters aud authors OF the
compositions known as bairtne. Though
able, almost invariably, to write, their
songs were rarely written. but, being
composed, were committed to memory,
and retained by frequ ant repetition. In
many cases, their songs were produced
extemDoraneously, aud as improvisators
they were extremely apt, the language
in which they expressed themselves
(Gaelic) being peculiarly suited for
such spontaneous, unprecedented out
bursts of song,
The last OF the real Irish bards was

1877. Since his time the bards in Ire.

For ages they had been regarded as

a people where hospitality was so COM

him the more to his entertainers.

ASSISTANT POSTMASTER

ASSISTANT POSTMASTER GENERAL
CLARKsoN has been making speeches
again, this time on the Pacific Coast.
In talk at Seattle on Friday night he
removed his old lamentation that the
republican party was showing signs of
disorganization and decay. He was not
honest enough to tell what allied it, but
resorted to the old stock trick OF telling
what the party used to be. He said:
Il say that a party which Abraham
Lincoln thought was good enough for
him to be a member of, which Ulysses
Grant thought was good enough for him
to be member of, is good enough for
any man to be proud Of" Had Brother
Clarkson been frank and truthful man,
he would have presented the other side
OF the picture. He might have said
that party which was bad enough to
drive out the men who founded it;
which was 60 bad that Charles Sumner,
and Horace Greeley, and Lyman Trum-
bull, and Carl Schurz, and James Russell
Lowell, and President Elliot, and George
William Curtis, and Henry Ward
Beecher could not stand 1t, was too bad
for any good man to stay in. He might
have said further, that party that had
descended from Abraham Lincoln to
Benjamin Harrison, from Oliver P. Nor
ton to Matt Quay, and from decency to
Dudley, was ripe for burial. But Clark
son will not learn these things until
1892.

We called attention the other day to
the destruction of fish in Montana
streams through the carelessness OF
miners, prospectors and others. Sports.
men and others interested in the pro-
lection of game in Colorado, Utah, Wyo-
ming and New Mexico, have just formed
fish and game protective association,
whose work should be to extend to Mon
tana. There are twenty-one gun clubs
with 500 members in the association.
Each member of these clubs is constitu-
ted sort of a game warden, and already
the beneficial effects of the active inter
est of these sportsmen is being felt in
the temperance of fish and game in To-
calities from which they had disappear
ed. We ought to have here in Montana
some of tho finest game
preserves in the world. II
our local sportsmen would organize
now before the tide of immigration

tive resorts in the world for the lovers

THE refusal of Mr.. Blaine to approve
the Mckinley bill, the proposed federal
election law, and the rulings of Speaker
Reed is, very significant. Mr.. Blaine is
a shrewd discerner of the times. In the
reconstruction era he knew when the
republican party had pushed its oppres-
sive measures far enough, and was the
first to call halt. He now foresees,
what narrow minded partizans like Reed
and Mckinley are too prejudiced and
blinded to discern, that the decency and
conservatism of the republican party
are Disguised with the extreme legisla-
ton that is being attempted at Wash
ington for the sole purpose of perpetu-
ating the republican party in power. In
his recent letter to an old friend in
Maine the secretary of state writes:
1--WE ought to secure in return for free
sugar market for sGO,OOO,OOO or s7O..
100000 worth Of our own products. II
will not require reciprocity treaties tc
secure this great boon. The tariff bill
can contain all the necessary conditions
Th.' legislative power IS able to secure
the desired end. Within the last TWEEN
ty years we have given the countries
south OF us free admission for $50, Co., O(
worth of their products without receiv
ing one penny's worth in exchange. 1
sugar now be made Internationally free
We shall have given the Latin American
countries free admission for $50, COX, 90
OF their products. We are very ricl
nation, but not rich enough to trade Of
this unequal basis" As far as he goes
Mr.. Blaine is working on the democrati
line OF policy. He wants our trade relu
tions with other countries % adjusts
as to get something in exchange for thi
concession on sugar. He wants to max
market for the surplus products Of tn
American farmer. The difference b
tween Mr.. Blaine and the Democrat
party u that the former would linn
