We are unwittingly reminded Of this fact by

Now it strikes US that in its endeavor to get
corner on patriotism the local camp of Patriots
Is reaching out long distance to make very
small capital.

From New York and Bait NOR, Cincinnati

conventions have g aIuaily moved westward
until yesterday the Republican committee has
decided upon Minneapolis as the next place for
the convention. Westward, surely, the star of
empire takes its way, and it is only a CUES
ton of time when Salt Lake will be a
claimant for just such honors Whether an
agreeable climate in the summer soltice, or an
atra tive city and ample accommodations are
demanded, this city caa furnish them. All it
lacks are the votes in the electoral college.

AT TIE EMERSON CLUB.
Patient toilers, satiated
| With The easier knowledge won,
Seeking wisdom. congregated
AT the feet of Emerson
| Though the guest Oft lures us biindly
Into by-paths dark as night,
| Yet anon 1t opens klndlg
| Highways flooded with the light
Now the thought is quaint, now caustic
Now cratic now intense;
Now we founder in Agn0stic
| Realms confounding sight and sense
And again, while vaguely drifting
| "Woodnotes" RIM out clear and free
And we catch-our souls uplifting
| Bursts OF sweetest me ody.
Old ascetc; grim apostle;
| Monk upon his Bonded knees,
| HeTmes and Confucius jostle,
| Paul and MephlstopheleS,
| Plato specializing soaring;
| Monta gne wedd-d TO the flesh;
| Augustine high faith outpouring-
! Ali are woven in the mesh.
Thus is time annihilated
/ BY the magic of his pen;
! Old ghosts rehabitated
Stalk the solid earth again.
Even in our Dreams erratc
! Spirits from the mystic past
| Holding dialogue Socratic,
Swarm the aerial regions vast.
| From the mighty maze Of faces,
Rises one majestic slow,
That each fellow spirit places,
| Like the figures in a show
Cold and far removed a Sirius.
| And yet Shing as the sun,
Calm, Sphinxlike and mysterious,
| Beams the face of Emerson
