WHERE The OAY BEGINS.

Where does the day begin' where may it be-
Not on the mountain tops, not on the seal
Somewhere beyond them, somewhere before
them,
Shines the sweet light, ere the morning breaks
Ger them.
Peak that is highest, island that lest
Farthest away in the purple trimmed sea,
Where does the day begins where may it be-
Out of the bosom Of God comes the day
Flood of his tenderness, nothing can stay.
Love that outsprnging sets the world singing.
Steeples abaze and the silver bells ringing.
Infinite motion Of infinite ocean
Light but the symbol that broadens for aye;
Out of the bosom Of God comes the day!

There was a funny Burchardism per-
petrated in the late campaign in Penn
sylvania which never became public.
Governor Pattison is member of the
Methodist church, and takes an active
part in church work, and in Philadel-
phia prominent ministers and iavmen
were strong in his support. 4 cores
pondent of the New York Star tells it
thus: As is well known. the lndepen-
dent Republicans of Philadelphia and
lie Mugwumps were also strong in his
advocacy. From the western end of the
state his most earnest support before the
convention came from the Randall club
of PittSburg, a vigorous political organi-
cation composed almost entirely Of prom
inent and influential Irishmen. There
was in the latter city, however. an ele-
ment which strongly supported ex-Sena-
tor Wallace and was composed of old
time, straight-out Democrats. Ii was
one Of these who wired from the state
convention at Scranton To a waiting
friend at Pittsburg few minutes after
Pattison had been nominated: The
Nugwumps, Micks and Methodists have
done US up The Piusburg friend put
the telegram in his inside pocket and
never showed il until after election.

The Democratic Hill organs, the few
there are, are now beginning to hedge
on their proposition TO make the gov
ernor of New York the Democratic
candidate for president, by agreeing that
the proper thing 10 do Will he TO first
send him to the senate to succeed Sena-
tor Evarts, from which vantage ground
he could step into the presidential Office.
This is a virtual admission that they real
ize there is no show for David Bennett to
reach the presidency; if there was they
would never consent to je, pardize the
bulk of the senatorial term 10y that sort
Of scheme, for they must know that the
present opportunity of securing the sena-
tor to their party was mere chance
shot and not likely to occur again for
mother decade.

The Snasmodic Red Man.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Every once in while, in consequence
of the Winchester rifles and the fire
water so lavishly furnished him by our
paternal government, the noble red man
rises up.
Every time he rises up he loses a great
slice of his real estate, even if he saves
his life.
1t would be better for the noble red
man if he should cease TO rise.
In all modern controversies it is the
fittest who survive. and the American
aborigine is not the fittest.
He is a back number.

The experiments made this year at the
different sugar mills in this state with
beets as a sugar producing and profit
yielding crop have been entirely salts
factory TO both the mill men and the
farmers. The beets are worth $3.50 to
So per ton at the mill, and the yield is
seven to ten tons per acre, according to
the character of the soil and cultivation.
The beet crop is as sure as the sorghum
and is more profitable for its sugar
yielding qualities. These points being
proven by practical demonstration, the
extent of both these crops in the future
will only be limited 10y the capacity Of
the mills to properly handle them.

Since lIr. Cleveland has seen fit to

ingnoblv failed when they came to
measure their new born strength against
the wisdom of the politicians. Their first
battle proved a disastrous defeat. The
Alliance hosts of Georgia, solid as they
were thought to be, solemnly as they
were in secret sworn and coached, over
whelmnigly in the majority as they
claimed to be, all went to the wall, and
were scattered like sheep. Something
was either wrong or rotten with the re-
preventative whom the Georgia Alliance
elected. Which was it? Was the hay

in disguise, or was be but weak and I'M
equal to that for which he had been
chosen? Let the supreme head, Brig

sentatives will fight shy of the papers
that denounce the Mckinley bin and

W. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill" who is
just now figuring quite conspicuously in
the Indian country of the northwest, is
one of the most unique characters of the
present time that this country has pro-
duced. He was born in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, and comes of good old
Quaker stock. Ex-Governor Curtin,
who knew the family, says: Both his
father and mother were Quakers, and
very estinable people. The father was
a mild-mannered, quiet little man in a
broad brimmed hat, as | remember him,
and his mother a sweet-faced old lady,
with soft voice, who always said thee

James Paxton Voorhees,, son OF the
Indiana senator, has written drama
based on his novel, "A Tale of Wealth"
As stated, it is purely work of fiction,
and in no sense based upon experience.
And this reminds US of an anecdote told
OF the young novelist's father, the Hoos-
Ter senator. 1t runs like this: Several
years ago the senator with his family
boarded at one of the hotels in Terre
Haute, and neglecting lis board bill as
was his practice ii ran up to coDsidera-
bic sum. Finally firing Of carrying"
the load the landlord essayed to ask the
senator for the amount, and upon being
refused he intimated that his distin-
guished guest would have TO find lodging
elsewhere, as he was not able TO keep
him longer. The senator's complaicent
reply was: 'Weil, if you can't you had
better sell out to somebody who can"

The report of the secretary of the
treasury, which shows an increase in
the volume of currency of the country
Of So, 100000 within the last eighteen
months, has a reassuring sound but the
absence from view of the actual thing in
the marts of the country inclines one to
be a little skeptical, notwithstanding
the report is an official statement. In
the present stringent condition of the
money market a million a day added to
the currency, for twelve months would
not be more than enough to meet the
requirements. All other conditions nee
essary for good, active, healthy business.
throughout the country exist in ample
degree, and if there were sufficient
money in actual circulation to meet the
demands the country would unquestion-
ably be in a highly prosperous condition.

Of Mr. Willis acts. Now simply be-

The slander is all the Independent
desired, and that did not require
proof It required gall and de
pravity, and of these the editor Of the

The proof could be manufactured
however, as readily as the falsehooC

them. The party that will commi

perjury to it's crimes, and that is wha
we expect TO see done before the ent
