I'm AMAr Years,


When was bat callow youth
And Bingtown seemed the world to me,
I Thought Miss Dollie Henneasy
A paragon Of girls, In truth,
A being who would take the prize
Among the hosts of Paradise.
And when abe spurned my pro6ered hand
And took Jim Robinson instead,
Vowed that ne'er In all the land
Could Hope for me its radiance Shed.
But when some years had passed, and L
Meanwhile wanderer, returned
10 Bingtown, and, passing By
A cottage, suddenly discerned
A freckled slattern, grossly stout,
From dull porch rush wildly out,
Snatch up an urchin by the ears
And toss him through the open door,
Chase from the lot a yoke Of steers,
Jump a rail fence and hurl score
OF cobbles at passing tramp,
Kick a Newfoundland dog and stamp
Two snakes to bits, then to the cot
Swoop back and yell in accents hot,
You Jim! Come here, you lazy lout.
And sweep this measly kitchen out"
When this saw and heard, then learned
As from my ramble returned.
The dame was Mrs. Robinson,
This comment thro' my mind did run:
- The saddest words Of tongue or PEN
Are surely not 1t might have been.'"

Monday evening Grover Cleveland
made a speech before democratic club
in New York, and had the nerve to
congratulate himself that he belonged
to the party which "resists the at
tempt Of arrogant political power to
interfere with the Independent and
integrity of popular suffrage" Yes,the
Democratic party has great record
Of protecting the independence and
integrity Of popular suffrage. lit
wasn't with the hope of defrauchising
the Republican vote of the South in
1892 as it has been for the past TWEEN
ty years, Grover Cleveland would not
how be attempting to hold public at
tention by praising his party for vir-
tues that none but a hYpocrite can
claim 1t possesses; without such dis
reimbursement no Democrat has any
hopes Of nationl success for his party.
It is sad to see Democratic leaders 50
worried over the integrity Of popular
suffrage. A wretch in court was once
guaranteed that no should receive
justice, and his reply showed that he
was about as anxious for it rs the
Democratic party is for the protection
Of the integrity Of popular suffrage
The prisoner feared justice, and 6
guarantee of an honest vote, honestl,
counted would be very unwelcom,

Judge Flandrau, of St. Paul, tells
an exchange that Minnesota has an
undeveloped source Of wealth in the
wild rice which grows 10 great profu-
sion in the shallow lakes in the north
ern part of the state. More of this
native grain could be harvested every
year, according to the Judge, than
South Carolina or Georgia grows Of
the cultivated rice. He always keeps
wild rice in his house for his table and
says it is much more palatable than
the best white rice Of the south. In
color the grains are blush brown.
They are more glntinous and consc-
quentlv more nutritious than those of
the cultivated rico plant.

We judge that the Minneapolis
Times, the Democratic organ in that
city, does not believe that the Repub-
lican party has yet finished its career;
the Times says:
This much may be inferred from
the April returns. They show no
signs Of Republican decentralization OF
disorganization. The party leaders
are alert and have the party we'll in
hand. This is equally true of the
Democratic party. But it may as
we'll be recognized at once that the
Democratic party has less capable
practical leadership than its opponent.
This lack Of vigorous, sagacious, eff
cient ieadership-she leadership that
inspires implicit confidence and solid
ly unites all the clements of the party
and directs their energies to practical
results, is a weakness which must be
remedied. The leadership Of the Re-
publican party is superb in its skill
fulness in combinations, its prompti-
tude in action, its audacity and UNI
scrupulousness.''

Senator McHale's Anti-tlghts bill
which passed the Minnesota senate, is
attracting much attention, and the
author has gained about the same
kind Of notority as did the Omaha
young man who flung a chair through
beautiful painting. The house is
having considerable fun with the
measure, and on Friday last the men,
bers in regular session accepted an
invitation that evening to attend q
presentation Of the spectacular play
crystal Slipper, which gave them
ample opportunity to study the ques-
ton of silk tights. OF course, thu
house will not now pass the bill. If
the senators could bring rid,cule only
upon themselves by passing such use
less measures there would be no pub.
lie criticism Of their earning a repu-
tation they are entitled to, but as
members Of the upper house in the
Minnesota Legislature they should
have some regard for their acts. Their
passage Of the anti tights bill was not
only foolish but disgraceful.

SUSTAINING CAPACITY OF THE
GREAT REPUBLIC.

According: to recent census bulle-
tin, the ratio of land and water sur
face is 9S.16 and 1874 per cent, re-
spectively. This bulletin also gives
the area of. the states and territories
by counties, and the classification OF
the latter by sizes. The average
number of persons to each square
mile of the land surface is 21.0S.
As illustrative of the sustaining Ca
pacity Of the United States, the bulle-
etin says that if Texas, the largest
state in the Union, was as thickly
populated as the State Of Rhode
Island, it would have S3,523.628 in
habitants, whila if the United States
had density of population equal to
that of Rhode Island, the population
Of the Union, instead of being $685.
$50, would reach the enormous sum of
945,766, 800, or nearly two-thirds Of
the present population of the world.

tional game.
