THE following extract from an Iowa
paper shows how the Democrats are
gaining ground in that State:

gaining ground IN that state:
Democrat-"You fellows think the Democratic
party isn't gaining ground. don't you?"
Republican -"Well, if by ground you mean dirt,
think you are.'
Democrat-"Awl let up on your funny business
and come down to facts. Take for instance, Iowa,
once Republican stronghold, now it is practically
ours, isn't it?''
Republican-"Yes, 1 should suppose it was from
what hear.'
Democrat-"What do you hear?"
Republican-"A man who says he is from Des-
Moines, informs us that there are over 200 saloons
there to 60 ten years ago; that public improvements
have about stopped that taxes have increased till
they are burden. and that city warrants have to
be discounted to get the cash on them. That
sounds very much as IL the Democratic party had

Works Of Art by Twelve Famous Artists.
Sometimes a magazine varies its plan
of makeup for a single number, in way
that makes that issue unique. The Cos
mopolitan published one number some
months ago, filled entirely with contribu-
tions from women. In the same way the
May issue of the Cosmopolitan will be
worthy on account of the change in
the style of illustration. With hardly an
exception the number is made up of orig
inal works of art, and all by the best artists
that could be found. There has never
been a number of any magazine that
contained so high class of illustrations,
and the names of Walter Crane, the Eng
lish decorator, W. NJ. Chase, E. w. Kem-
BILE, F. Remington, G. s. Reinhart, etc.,
are enough to distinguish the issue alone

may think. when these fugitives from the
hard conditions Of the old World. and
their children after them, will stand as q
unit with the Republican party to keepthe
shield OF American law before the cottages
of American labor.

by experience the burdens OF other

L,ncoln,. Foster Mother.

Abraham Lincoln was seven or.
eight years old when his father,
Thomas Lincoln, removed from
Kentucky to Indiana, where, in
a years or two, his wife died.
The year following her death.
says a writer in the Christian Union,
Mr.. Lincoln returned to Elizabeth
town to search out, if possible, Il
former neighbor and friend, Mrs.
sally Johnston, whom, upon inquiry,
he found still a widow, and to whom
he at once made Il proposal of maj
riage.
On entering Mrs. Johnston's humble
dwelling, MI. Lincoln asked if she re-
mcmbered him.
"Yes," replied she, 81 remember
you very well, Tommy Lincoln.
What has brought you back to old
kentucky:'
"Well," said he, in answer, ssmy
wife Nancy is dead"
"Why, you don't say sol"
"Ycs,' said Mr.. Lincoln, "shc died
more than a year ago, and / have
come back to Kentucky to look for
another wife. DO you like me, Mrs.
Johnson"

like you we'll enough to marry you,
but l can'tmarry you now"
"Why not" said he.
"Becausc / am in debt. and | could
never think of %buydcning the man I
marry with debt: it would not; b.
right"
"What are those debts?:" said he.
She told him of the sums, "whicf,n
said she, II have all down here in
my account-book."
On looking it over, nc saw that her
debts ranged from so cents to ST.. %,
and amounted in the gross to some
thing less than twelve dollars, not a
very startling sun even in those DAYS
of small things.
He succeeded in putting the little
book into his coat pocket without at.
tracing her attention, and went out,
looked up the various parties, and
paid off all the little sums according
to the memorandum, and returned i'm
the afternoon with the acknowledge
mcnts of payments in full. On his
returning the account-book to her,
she exclaimed, "Why, Tommy Lin-
coin, have you gone and paid off all
my debts?"
.Yes," he said; sand will you
marry me now?:"

married the next morning at 9o'clock.

story, was present at the ceremony.

neck's drawlng-rOOm with her com.
panion. she stood on the threshold
spellbound-in silent establishments.
There sat Regina, whose face showed
plainly that she had been mortally
bored, and opposite her. turning his
hat between his fingers, sat Elsie's
youthful admirer with.a most woebe-
gone mien.
When Elsie understood the situa-
ton she nearly laughed aloud. 1t was
indeed laughable.
There she had spent two hours of,
expectation and despair in the art
gallery with Regina's sutton, whilst
he. the object of her longings, await
Ing her in vain, had indefinitely pro-.
longed his call, and doomed poor Re-;
gina to entertain him on the subject
of the weather, the theater or the
latest railroad accident. oh, If she.
had but remained at home! :.
Regina's amazement looked very
much like a glad surprise when she
saw Elsie's companion and heard his
name.
"You are Otto Reimar?: How
strange that the idea did not occur to-
me! l know all your writings, and.
should have recognized you at once.".
"You have recognized me-the
name cuts no figure, my dear madam:
1 had written all my best productions
for you alone, before 1 saw you. But
sometimes I would lose courage, fear
ing that 1 might never find you"
Regina silently gave him her hand.
which he pressed to his lips. IL.
seemed to her like a dream that, at.
the first meeting, she should have
given herself to the man whom she.
had already learned to regard as one.
of the best and noblcst of souls, and!
whose thoughts had made SO deep an
impression upon her through his
writings.
And then he spoke to her, and Re-
gina felt as If, hitherto, all had
spoken in Il strange language, and as;
If now, for the first time, she wcrei
hearing her mother tongue. His,
thoughts bursts forth like a streami
on whose pillows Regina was carried.
away into boundless regions of light.
The young couple meanwhile, were;
so interested in sone another that
they disturbed no one. Elsie, too,i
and her fairy Prince, Assessor Won:
Lucknow, had an endless amount to
relate about the events on the Promo
made and at the theater, and about
the dear little white poodle.
DIR. Otto Rcimar and Assessor Won,
Lucknow were for some time daily
callers at Mrs. Won Plancck's home,
and when, later OF. Regina became
the beloved wife of the great poet
and author, and Elsie the atiianced of
c fairy Prince, this first meeting re-
manned a source of inexhaustible mer-
rimcnt and pleasure to those con-
cerncd.-Wavcrly Magazine.

II MORNING Hills.

He sits among the morning hills,
His face is bright and strong;
Ho scans far heights. but acarce1y notoo
The herdsinan'e idle song.
He cannot brook this peaceful life
While battles trumpet calls;
He Bees o crown for him who wins,
A tear for him who. falls.
The flowery glens and shady slopes
Are hateful to his eyes;
Beyond the heights, bevond the storms,
The land Of promise lies.
= .
He 10 so old and sits so still.
With face 90 weak and mild,
We know that he remembers nnught
Save when no was q child.
His fight Ia fought, his fame is won,
Lies highest peak ts past.
The laurel crown. the triumph-arch,
Are worthless ut tho last.
The frost Of age destroys tho bay
The loud applause Of men
Falls feebly On the palsied ears
Of three score years and ten.
He does not hear the voice that bears
His name around the world;
He has no thought of great deeds done
Where battle tempests whitfield.
But eycrmore he ia looking back,
Whilst memory fills and thrills
With echoes Of tho herdsmen's SONG
Among b morning hills.

wisely benevolent bill through Congress.
. bill that has proved an inestimable
blessing to this country as one Of the
sturdiest bulwarks of the homo prin.
ciple. Yet, 30 far az we remember. the
first appreciative public denomination
in his honor was in the little city Of
Montrose, Pa, three weeks ago. by the
S~usquehanna Legal Association, to
which body . life.size portrait Of Mr..
Grow was ceremoniously presented.

boyhood of Mr.. Grow had been passed
in the northern part of Pennsylvania,
which was then something of q wilder

original owners, he saw the virtues of .
government that opened its lands to the
easy acquisition of the poor man anx-
ious to establish q home for his loved
ones.
He determined to use his influence a.
a congressman to secure that advantage
to the pioneer settlers of the new coun-
try, and he began the advocacy of the
principle that tho true policy Of a gov

vent by law. so far as possible, the alb.
sorption of the earnings of labor for any
other purpose than the making its home
comfortable and its fireside happy. His

persistently agitating the subject until
his proposition took form in law ten
years later. the fight was a hard one.

Irish Voter. .nd Hrit..n la.sr..ts.

The number of voters of Irish birth or
parentage in the United States is very
large; and it is safe to say that mines
tenthe of them are firm adherents of
the cause of Irish home rule. AS q
rule they have generously given both
moral and financial support to the
champions of Irish nationality across
the sea. The effect of their action has
been admitted alike in the British press
and the halls of Parliament. 1t is a
common saying among Englishmen that
but for American contributions, the per-
sistent tight for Irish self-government
could not be kept up. The abuse and
sneers which British Tory organs and
orators lavish upon Irish-Americans
for the aid they have rendered to their
oppressed cOuntrymen is the best evil
dence that this aid has been effective.
Yet a great majority of lrish-Ameri-
can citizens, while sending funds over
the Atlantic to maintain the contest
against English greed and tyranny,
have been fighting England's battles in
the United States. In a%ssociating them.
selves with the pro-British, free trade
Democracy these voters have been
working for British interests Tar more
etfectually thanif they had remained in
Ireland as hewers of wood and drawers
of water for the English landlord caste.
The success of the Democratic party Al
the ensuing presidential election would
be triumphantly hailed by every Brit
ish Tory as a blow to the Industrial in
dependence Of the United States. It
would be greeted with delight by every
British manufacturer. 1t would add
enormously to the wealth and CONNER
cial power of England. Every Irish
man in the United States ought to read
this declaration from the great London
journal, Engineering, in its issue of
April i:
There is a somewhat general idea in
this country that the Mckinley tariff bill
will be repealed before long, or at all
events be 50 much modified that the sting
will be taken out of those clauses most
Objectionable to the British manufact-
urers; and it is for this reason that the
hopes OF the Democrats for tine approach
ing presidential election are so largely
shared In this country.
Every vote for the Democratic party
and free trade is a vote for the aggrand-
Element of England. Every vote Tor
Republicanism and protection is a blow
TO England's selfish ambition to control
American markets. How much longer
will Irish Americans continue to serve
their hereditary enemy and oppressor
by supporting the party that is for En-
gland and against America?
