REALITY AND DREAMS.

Imay work all day at my easel.
With patience and skill. as you see,
But my picture is always imperfect,
It is not what wished it to be
Iclose my eyes on my pillow,
Such visions! how lovely they seemi
What fame would be mine Il but able
To paint the pictures dream!
The muse may ardently worship,
And WOO wherever / go,
But my notes are weak and discordant,
My thoughts are rough, as you know,
sleep. and my verses are perfect,
Delightful and proper their theme;
What JOY l would know if but able
To pen the poems l dreaml

! SHERMAN'S s. SUMMARY


While Senator Sherman of Ohio is
not over popular, he is considered con-
servatiye, and his opinion always takes
well. The following are some Of bis
views on the effect of the late election
'eThis campaign teaches many useful
lessons which will endeavor to point
out. In the first place, so far as the re.
publican party is concerned, the result
in Ohio fixes the silver question as one
Of the issues of the next presidential
contest, and decides it so far as that
state is concerned. I am convinced
that q free coinage bill will be passed
by the congress which assemblies in
December. ! also believe that such a
bill as will be framed will be vetoed BY
President Harrison. That will natural.
II make free silver the feature Of the
next presidential fight. In fact it will
be the leading issue upon which there
are vast differences Ct opinion in both
parties. It's exactly like the tariff.

THE ELECTIONS.

The result Of the contest of ballots in
the various states last Tuesday presents
but few surprises. Neither the Repub-
Icans nor the Democrats have much to
gloat over and about the only party or
ganization that nee,t feel sore over the
outcome is the latest arrival on the pO-
litical checker board, the party of Don.
nelly, Weaver, Simpson and Pfeffer.
In Iowa, where the issue was .squarely
drawn on the treatment of the liquer
question, the Democrats have made
great gains. They not only elect the
governor but the entire state ticket and
by good majorities. The legislature,
however, is republican by an increased
majority, so that it is apparent that
the Republicans are not ready to turn
the state completely over to Democrat:
ic control. Prohibition alone stands in
the way of Republican success in Iowa,
and it is TO be hoped that the party
leaders will know enough now to get
rid of this bug-bear and make their
course in next years campaign one of
easy sailing. In New York: the Dem
ocrats elect Flower and in Massachu-
sets Russell is reelected. This in fact
is the sum total of the Democratic VIC
tories.
The Republicans on the other hand
carried Ohio for the gallant Mckinley
by over 10000 majority. There the
fight was purely on national issues and
the Republicans won a grand victory.
The legislature is overwhelmingly Re
publican as is also that OF Massachu-
sets, while IN New York the Reps. have
a fighting majority.> Kansas and Ne
braska are redeemed for the party of
their first adoption and the Alliance is
crippled. Jolley is elected in South Da-
kota and a gain of one congressman is
made in Michigan. Pennsylvania was
true to the tune OF, So, 900 and so were
Maryland and Mississippi. Taking it
all into consideration, the Democracy
have made no material gains except ON
local issues, and the Republicans, while
they have nothing to brag over, demon
strated that they are still IN it, and that
with Blaine as presidential candidate
they need have no fear of success in
1892.

THE LESSON IN IOWA.

The victory of the Democratic ticket
in the Republican stronghold of Iowa
should serve as a severe reminder of the
folly of fanaticism, sach as has been
pursued by the Republicans in our
neighboring state for several years past.
1t is true that a majority vote in that
state decided in favor of prohibitory
laws in dealing with the liquor question,
but it is equally true that the will of the
people as expressed years ago is daily
being violated and that the people are
now thoroughly sick and tired of sump-
tuary legislation. Time and time again
has the warning been raised to Repub-
lican leaders in Iowa to recede or rather
progress from their logged stand On
the liquor issue and as often as they
have refused to listen to the warning
voice they have been whipped. This
time the rebuke is a bitter one and
should bring them to their senses.
Senator John Sherman in speaking of
the election there gives utterance to
some sound logic, and it would be we'll
for the Iowa Republicans to heed the
advice of the veteran statesman. Here
are his words: think the election in
Iowa teaches the republican party les.
son that will make Iowa a decidedly re.
publican state in presidential election.
The leading element of the republican
party of that state have made it prollif-
tory and the contest for ages has
shown that the attempt to regulate the
appetltes of people cannot be successful.
The sooner any community appreciates
that fact the better, and no party can
carry that load OIL it's shoulders and
succeed very long. We have got to
get ava from such nonsense. 1t has
been tried for many years and nothing
but disaster has ever come of it. That
IS all the result in Iowa means and it
may serve as a good purpose in other
directions ..~> .s5.%z
