he huncerlng to reach sublimity!-

The hungering to reach sublimity!-
The keen desire unhindered, that achieves,
But thwarted grieves, not knowing that it grieve
From dim pain piercings Of divinity!
And achings toward life's white serenity!
And, faith that trusts. not knowing it believes,
Throughout the souls sweet wonder interweayes
A fearlessness to meet eternity.
As rose hearts in their folded leaves thrilled,
Strong yearniDgs to perfection fercely plead
That His creative impulse be fulfilled,
The power that in time shall fill each need,
In every throb of nature is instilled,
And writes in glowing words a golden creed.

Senator Mcdonald was a good Democrat
and good man. IL is TOO bad that the
same can not be said of most of the good
Democrats now living in Indiana.-Topeka
Journal.
This seems to imply about the same
estimate of Democrats as Gen John
Logan had of Indians, l. E., 1.-The only
good Indians are dead Indians" There
is no doubling the goodness of the ex-
senator, though, alive or dead.

1t has become not uncommon prac-

One of Jerrv,s Jokes.

On being asked How about Ken
tucky" Jerry Simpson said: Il am not
acquainted with the situation there, but
| think our chances are good. A story
was told in the Cincinnati convention
about an old preacher who said God
could do anything. A man in the crowd
jumped up and shouted, ''Tll bet you
$50 he can't carry Kentucky" This
may not sbe an authoritiye announce
ment for the Alliance. but it is a pretty
clear indication that they have no hope
of doing anything on the Kentucky
heath.

The Minneapolis Tribune says that the
delegates and visitors to the National
Republican convention will spend in the
city in which it is held, at least S160, 900
day in cold. hard cash, and suggests
further that Minneapolis can have this
plum by making the right kind of an
effort. Wichita is not looking for any
'plums" of this sort, but we presume if
it is forced upon her she VIII become
meek enough to accept it.

Good Sense vs.. Demagogy.

I From the Fl Scott MonItOr.
The theory of beating the school book
trust adopted by Missouri was urged
upon the Peoples party managers at
Topeka last winter, but the smart Alexis
allowed themselves to be manipulated
by the agents of the trust and presented
a radical impracticable measure provid-
ing for the publication of books by the
state, which was certain of defeat. 1t is
a favorite and effective method of the
school book trust to make tools out of
their opponents in the way we have in
dictated. Good sense prevailed in Mis-
souri,, hence that state has a good law.

Demo-southern Alliance.

From the Raleigh IN. c. Progressive Farmer.
We want to say that, if the new party
formed at Cincinnati the other day shall
sweep the country like tornado, there
will come from such sweeping no harm
to Democratic principles. There may
come harm to Democratic organizations.
But there can come no harm to Demo
cratic principles. With one single I'M
important exception the principles laid
down by the conference at Cincinnati
are Democratic to the core. We want
this to be distinctly understood. Any
real peoples party is Democratic party.
Let this simple fact be kept i'll mind.

An Old Man Murders a Girl.

LANSING, Mich, Feb. 3.-The mystery
surrounding the death of the young girl
whose body was found in Grand river, near
Dimondale, Friday last, was cleared up
this morning. The first clue to the crime
was when the body was identified by a
Lake Shore conductor as that Of passen-
ger on his train who was accompanied by
an old man. Then an officer of the state
public school at Coldwater identified the
body as that of Nellie Griffin, who
had been adopted few days previously by
an old man giving the name of Henreshot.
An active search was instituted for the old
man and he was located early this morning
on farm near Dimondale, where he was
employed. His real name was found to be
Russell G. Garfield. After being fully
identified by the superintendent of the
Coldwater school he was arrested and
taken to Charlotte. He broke down and
confessed He said that upon arriving at
Coldwater with the girl he set out through
the woods for the farm where he worked.
They sat down on log by the water where
the body was found. 'srhe girl began to
cry" he said, land l threw her on the
ground and choked her to death with one
hand. did not outrage the girl and have
no idea why l killed her. must have been
insane"
Garfield is fifty five years old and the
age of his victim was IA. 1t is thought the
old man is crazy.
