LEONANIE.


Leonanie-Angels named her
And they took the Light
OF the laughing stars, and framed her
In a suit of white
And they made her hair of gloomy
Midnight, and her eyes OF glowing
Aoonshine, aud they brought her to me
In the silent night
In solemn night OF summer
When my heart OF gloom
Biossomed up to greet the conner
Like ross in bloom;
All forebodings that distressed me
forgot as jog caressed me,
Lying JOY that caught and pressed mo
In the arms of doom.
Only spake the little lisper
In the angels tongue,
Yet /. listening, heard her whisper:
''Songs are only sung
Here below, that they may grieve you
Tales are told you to deceive you
So must Leouanie leave you
While her love is young
Then God smiled, and il was morning
Matchless and supreme,
Heavens glory seemed adjoining
Earth with Its esteem;
Every heart but mine seemed gifted
With the voice OF prayer, and lifted
Where my Leonaaie driited
From me like dream.

SAN JUAN IMBROGLIO.
Colonel Haller's Account Disa-
grees With Gen. Harney's.
The TRUTHABOUT GUITARS PIG.
Might Have Been Bloodshed but That
British Soldiers Supposed Treaty
Ceding Island Had Been Ratified

Following is the paper on "The San
Juan Island 1mbroglio.". read before the
State Historical Society at Tacoma, April
q, by Colonel Granville 0. Halter:
The popular version of the San Juan ISL
and imbroglio on the American side was
due somewhat to the aversion OF our pion-
GERS to British presumption, for, as Sena-
tor Benton said: Great Britain is to the
United States now what Spain was for
centuries to her-the rawhead and bloody
bones which inspires terror and rage. The
idea of General Harvey boarding the Brit
ish lion humored our American egotism to
degree that Will render q conservative
history, however true, very tame, if not re-
pugnant to the patriotic pioneers of 1859,
who were entirely satisfied with the ex
parte statements and patriotic illusions of
our territorial press at that date.
THE QUESTION OF BOUNDARY.

in which France represented both French

where rolls the Oregon"
Our title to the country up to the forty
ninth degree OF north latitude in 1918 was
contested by Great Britain, when the adj
ministration of President Monroe per-
mitted this country by treaty to become
neutral territory TO British subjects and
citizens of the United States for ten years,
and in 1923 the treaty was renewed with
out limit of time, subject only to one
years notice by either OF the contracting
parties of its intention to assume jurisdic-
ton. The hardness of our government in
this gave the Hudson Bay Company the

An Appeal to the Solid South.

There are some southern states whose
democrats regard Grover Cleveland with
aversion, and have proclaimed before
haud settled purpose to carry this feel
ing into the election so far as even to sup
port the candidates Of the Farmers AL
lance or peoples party, or whatever
name the combination may finally as
sumo. Of these states South Carolina is
perhaps the most jealous and the most
pronounced,
Now we appeal to South Carolina and
to all these southern democrats OF 9TH
err states who cherish the same feelings
and contemplate the same course Of con-
duct, to reflect on what is before them,
to pause, to postpone the satisfaction OF
their first manly impulse, and to sacrifice
to the public safety and we'll being their
present convictions and purpose Of polit-
zeal duty. The cause they propose to
adopt leads to the overthrow ofthe democ-
racy and the victory ofthe republicans In
the presid election. To take anystate
Of the south away from the demoeratlc
strength in November will be to add I'M
mensely to the prospect OF electing Har-
rison. Every electoral vote that Is de-
Quoted from the democratic aggregate is
so much power bestowed directly or in
ull6Cb1y QPOa t40 po1oJ W oSSAO
ton in the south, and of force bill inter-
ference in our elections everywhere. Is
such result as that to be promoted by
the democracy of South Carolina? is it
not better, far better, to go up and vote
for Mr. Cleyeland, like men who know
what they arc doing and mean to do it,
like men determined to make eVery eff
fort for his election as the sure means of
multiplying and crushing out the republic
can force bill conspiracy?
we appeal to the dissatisfied, the inn
passioned southern democrats. as men
and patriots. We pray them to mediate
on these things and to act With Roldness
and decision. Tho circumstances which
ensnare us are more strange and peculiar.
The scheme of negro domination In the
southern states is favorifA1sea with
President Harrison. Many d follow
ers and promoters have embraced 1t
with fanatfcism equal to his own. He is
running the campaign himself more than
sny candidate ever did before. Every
repQbI;esn who is nominated for congress
wifi be pledged to the odious measure
To resist it thsfs IS 40 method more
hopeful or more encouraging ttha9 we are
now contending for. Let ther6 bo no
southern democrats in any third party
and let all unitedly stand by tho iioket
nominated at Chicago !-Nc,0 York Sun.

A Remedy for Hard Times

EDITORS INTELLIdENCER AS there Is
80 much bowling by certain classs
against the railroads and the banks, I
concluded to make a few suggestions, But
the howlers will not listen to tall little
boy like me. Lot us look at the kickers
and see who they are. They are the Till
man coat-tail-swingers who follow in the
wake Of these political bummers. They
20 over the country cursing the ban ks
and crying hard times.
Hard times is now on every lip,
And breathed by every tongue,
The banks are cursed by one and all,
The aged and the young,.
The merchant has to close his doors,
And throw his ledgers by,
Such times he vows were never seer,
By any mortal eye.
The shopmen Quit the counters side,
The customers are few,
For times are now 80 very tight,
It makes them all look blue.
The citizen in vain essays,
TO make more than his bread,
A pound of which he now declares,
Won't weigh q pound of bread.
There is not day but what some one
fails,
Some house that goes to smash,
And names that once stood high on
change,
Are cut for want of cash.
Those I'VE thought were millionaires,
And rich In shares and stocks,
Their million heirs they disappQint,
They fell and leave no rocks.
Hard times, hard times, was ever seen
Such times as hard as these?
This Is the cry from morn till night,
In which each one agrees.
A remedy think I've found,
Say, how do you think it will dos
Pull off your coat, roll up your
sleeves,
And work these hard times through
The only way to get rid Of hard times
is by hard work. So stop kicking and
20 to work. How would you like for the
Government to confiscate your farms and
property? That is what the third party
means to do with the railroads and tho
banks. Stick your head in halter, Kill
the goose that lays your golden eggs, tea,
down the factories, and mako slaves o
yourselves. That is what the third party
means. A. u: SMITH.
