AN OLD SWEETHEART.

AS one VINO cons at evening DER an album
all alone.
And muses. OH the faces of the friends that
he has known,
So turn the leaves of fancy. till i'll shadowy
design
1 find the smiling features of an old sweet
heart of mine.
The lamplight seems TO glinmer with a
flicker of surprise,
As turn it low, to rest me of the dazzle III
my eyes,
And light my pipe in silence, save sigh
that seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco, and tovanish with
the smoke
IT'S fragrant retrospeetion, for the loving
thoughts that start
Into being arc like perfumes from the bios
SONS of the heart;
And to dream the old dreams over is q luxury
divine
When my trusnt fancies wander with that
old sweetheart OF mine.
Though hear, beneath my study, like
Huttering of wings,
The voices of my children and the motner as
l feel no twinge of conscience to deny NE
any theme
When care has cast her anchor in the harbor
of dream.
In fact, TO speak in earnest believe it adds
TO spice the good trfHe with little dust
For find ep extra flavor in Memory's mel
low wine
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart of mine.
A face of lily beauty. with a form of airy
grace,
Floats out of my tobacco as the gcnii from
the vase;
And thrill beneath the glanees of pair of
azure eyes
As glowing as the summer and as tender as
the skies.
l can see the pink sun bonnet and the little
checEered dress
She wore when first I kissed her, and she
answered the caress
With the solemn declaration that "as surely
as the vine
Grew round the stump" she loved me-that
old sweetheart of mine,
And again I feel the pressure of her slender
little hand.
As we used To- talk together of the future we
had planned.
When should be Il poet and with nothing
else to do
But write the tender verses that she set the
music to;
When we should live together in coy little
cot,
Hid in nest of roses, with a fairy garden
spot,
Where the vines were ever fruitful, and the
weather ever fine.
And The birds were ever singing for that old
sweetheart of mine
And should be her lover forever ard day.
And she my faithful sweetheart till the
golden hair was gray;
And we should be 50 happy that when
others lips were dumb
They would not smile in heaven till the
others kiss had conc
But-ah' my dream is broken by a step upon
the STAIR
And the door IS softly opened, and my wife
is standing there.
Yet with eagerness and rapture all nv
visions resign
10 greet the living presence of that old
sweetheart of mine.

GROVER WILL GET IT,
Though Gossips Talk About
Hill or Whitney for the
Presidency.
How the Speakership Cues
ton May Affect the Stu
alton.
Hill Said to Be In With an
Eastern and Western Al
lance,
While Cleveland Is Said to
Want a Speaker From the
South.

WASHINGTON, Nov. with the Ie-
turn of members of congress to the city,
the contest for the speakership Of the
next house begins TO assume local inter-
est and Importance. Tie fight for the
position will be warm during the COM
ing winter, and will undoubtedly nave
its effect even on the deliberations of
the present house of representatives.
The most interesting phase OF the dis
cussion of the subject at this time is the
question OF It's relation to the contest
presidency in 1892. One of the current
bits of gossip is that an alliance may be
formed between the East and the West
in the speakersLip contest with Il
view to an arrangement for the preSiden
tial nomination. Prominent Democrats
now in the city say that the
Democratic strength of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, West
Virginia, part of Pennsylvania and part
of Virginia can be thrown for a West
ern candidate for the speakership in
exchange for Western votes for an East
ern candidate for the presidential NOM
nation. Gov. Albeit, of New Jersey;
ex-Gov. Black, of Pennsylvania; Sena-
tor Barbour, OF Virginia, and Senator
German, of Maryland, are counted as
favorable to such an alliance, In this
combination the candidates for the
presidency most spoken of are Whitney
and Hill: while it is current gossip that
the friends of Cleveland and Pattison in
the East may form an alliance for the
election of Southern candidate for
speaker in exchange for Southern votes
in the Democratic national convention.

THE OUTLOOK OMNIBUS.
Forbes, the Negro Rapist, Likely
to Be Lynched.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 9.-The city
tonight presents another scene OF wild
excitement. The same angry crowds of
people that last night lined the streets
are now to be found at every corner.
The mob that was dispersed early this
morning is expected at any mo-
ment to appear at the Jail and
make the threatened attempt to
lynch the negro Forbes That
such an attempt will be made before
morning there is no doubt, and its prob
able disastrous results to many good
citizens may cause the excitement to
run high. The Jail is well guarded.a and
the efforts of the Jail officials to protect
the prisoner will be reinforced by hun
dredS of negroes, should the attempt at
lyncEiug be made. Ernest Forbes was
lodged in Jail Friday, charged with out
raging Bertha Phipps, fifteen-year-
old girl living near West river.
Thursday, the girl being terri
bly, maltreated. Forbes was not
captured until the following day and
then only after a careful search, in
which great many persons joined. AT
the time of his capture Forbes was
twice shot at, and one ball lodged in his
back. Threats OF lynching were freely
made and last night Sheriff Armiger
decided to secretly remove Forbes to
the City hotel. Some persons espied
the officer and prisoner and Immediately
spread the report that Forbes was about
to be iynched. Within fifteen minutes
a thousand negroes had surrounded
the place where Forbes had been
Secreted and made all sorts of threats
against the jailers il they allowed the
prisoner to be harmed. soon bricks
began to fly and pistols were fiourished.
The officers with drawn revolvers ar
rested thirteen negroes and lodged them
in jait. By this time the entire town
was aroused to pitch unequaied in
many years, and disastrous riot be-
tween the whites and blacks was i'm
minent. The sheriff secured sufficient
assistance about midnight, dispersed
the mob and marched Forbes back to
jail, where he has since been guarded
by strong force. The situation at
midnight tonight indicates certain
outbreak before morning

HISTORY DON'T HELP THEM.

The disconsoIate now turn to the
pa geS of history for cheer. They find
that it has been the rule that the adj
ADMINISTRATION got a black eye i'll its see
ond year. They linger with special sat
isfaction over the GRANT episode. The
phenomenal folly of the Democrats in
1872 in putting at the head OF their pres
idental ticket their lifelong CONTENDER
and great apostle of protection, HORACE
GREELEY. naturally led to defeat that
suggests the present Republican situa-
ton. Only six states were saved out OF
the wreck, and the Republican majority
in the lower house of congress was
about $50. Two years later the
Democrats got together again ana
swept the country with over SIN
ty majority in congress. The he
publican comfort comes in the theory
that the Democrats SO failed to meet
the expectation of the country that III
1876 they were able to recover their LOST
ground, elect their president and secure
congress. 1t will be remembered that
the Democr0tS did the voting and the
Republicans the counting in that year.
They gave Mr.. TILDEN quarter OF a
million more votes than HAYES re-
eeived, and were not wiped out in con-
greSS. There is not much in that page
OF political history to work into the
dreams of 1892 for the Republicans.
In 1889 the Republicans elected
their president and carried congress
with moderate margins, and after
severe struggle. In 1882 they met
the off-yeac rebuff, and the Democrats
carried the popular branch of congress.
LII the presidential contest of 1884 the
magnetic man of all their leaders was
i'll their front, but they were defeated,
and the Democrats took the presidency
for the first time since the war period.
In both of these noted instances of Re-
publican reverseS midway Of the admin
iStratiUn the Democrats outvoted them
III the following presidential election.
On neither Of those occasions was there
a condition to compare with the present.
The Democratic default of 1872 did not
give the Republicans quite so large a
majority as the opposition now have
in congress. There has been no
precedent since the war for the tornado
that has now made havoc with the Re-
publican party. 1t labors under the
peculiar disadvantage that it cannot
| shake off the burden that has been the
| main force in its overthrow with
out confession of a blunder that is,
in politics, akin to crime, and also dis
affecting the favored interests that fur
nish the sinewS of war. Only the most
| egrcgious folly of the Democratic lead
ers can afford the Republicans any
rational hope of reeoup in '92. The
central issue will be the same as in the
recent election, and only the theory that
| the people did not know what they
| wanted can afford basis for Republican
| hopes in the presidential contest.
