THE CLOVER.

Some sing of the daisy and lily and rose,
And the panses and piuks that the summer
tims throws
In the green, grassy lap OF the medder that
lays
Blinkin' up at the skies through the sunsainy
days;
But what is the lily and all of the rest
OF the flowers to man with heart in his
breast
That has dipped brimmin' full of thu honey
and dew
OF the sweet clover blossoms his boyhoo1
knew?
never set hevey on clover field now,
Or fool rouni a stable. or climb in the NOV,
But nv childhood comes back just as clear
and as plain
As the smell of the clover Pm sniein' again;
And l wandered away in barefootsi
dream,
Where [ tangled my toes in the blossoms
that CLEAN
With the dew Of the dawn of the morning
Of love
Ere it wspt DER the grWes that am weep
ing above.
And 50 l love clover-it seems ike part
OF tae sacredest sorrows AMI Joys of my
heart;
And wherever it blossoms, " there let me
bow
And thank the good Lord as I'm thankiu
Him now.
And pray to Him still for the strength when
| die
To go out in the clover AMI tell it gooloy,
Aud lovingly nestle my face in its bloom
While my soul slips away on a breath of
perfume.

The Force Bill s3arsorow.

Chairman Harrity is sending out what
Democratic organ calls "concise state
ment of the provisions of the Force bill,
for use in Connecticut, Indiana aud New
Jersey. This precious document begins
thus:
"The Force bill gives to Republican
federal officers the control of all cleo
ions. 1t takes from the States the sab
stance of the right reserved in the Goa.
;titution to determine. and judge of the
qualifications of voters. The assertion
that it is to secure full and free elections
IS mere pretence."
Let 1t be understood, in the first place,
that the so called "Force bill' of the
Fifty-frst Congress does not enter as an
issue in this campaign at all. The Re,
publican platform does not indorse it.
The demand for honest elections con.
iained in that platform is plainly framed
to encourage the differen. States to take
the lead in enacting effective legislation
for carrying out the great Republican
doctrine of free ballot and fair count.
This much promised, it may be said
further, that there is probably not one
Democrat in hundred thousand who
has ever read the so called "Force bill. ="
The Democratic leaders have created the
impression among their ignorant follow.
crs that the Elections bill of the Fifty
first Congress gave to federal supervisors
the control of all elections, National,
State, county and municipal. Intelli
gent men, however, are perfectly aware
that that bill applied only to elections
for Representatives in Congress and elect.
ors of President and Vice President. II
did not effect "home rule" municipal,
county or State, in the slightest degree,
But Democratic politicians have no re.
gard for facts. Afraid to discuss the
ariff or the financial situation, they have
ALLEN back, as last desperate resource,
upon this galvanized specter of a "Force
oilr' that does not exist.
1t is confession of the weakness Of
heir cause, and an attempt to evade all
;he real issues of the clmpaigu. 1t may
'u1ceed in Texas and Florida, but to sur
pose that it can succeed in Connecticut,
New Jersey and Indiana is to insult the
Intelligence of the people of those States.

Scarcely do the echoes of the words of
Adlai E. Stevenson at Bloomington die
away when there comes such reply to
them from an authoritative source that
the Democratic candidate for the Vice
Presidency must himself regret the
blunder of his misstatements. Labor
Commissioner Peck, of New York, a
Democrat appointel originally by Gov.
srnor Hill, has issued his annual report,
and IN it not only limits bat reiterate,
with earnestnc3s and force that the Nc.
hlnley bill has proved Of vast benefit to
the workingmen Of the greatest State in
the Union-that it has resulted in in.
creaslng their wages and lettering their
condition generally. The investigation
OF the Labor Commissioner was devoted
to the tariff law and its effect, because
that was the matter most important to
the workingmen. The great range of
industries in New York makes it the
State wherein sue study could be made
with most complete results aud where
the conclusions reached would be most
absolute. There could be no appeal
from undeniable figures givel.
Facts have been ever stubborn thinrs.
and the people of the United States are
as intelligent as any in the world. Tney
cannot but comprehend the figures
brought to light and to draw the lesson
rom them. The results of the actual,
practical workings of the tariff law have
been shown in manner from which
there is 10 appeal and unon waica there
can be no argument. There are the
crowded manufactures. There is the
great increase of the total sum paid out
As wages. There is the decrease in the
number of strikes and labor difficulties.
And there stand the S9.717 people who
in single State in 1891 had their WAGES

can Party has been vindioatei splen did.

when the seed is ripe it should be stored

For woRK1NeMEN TO PONDER.

The statistics collated and published
by the New York Bureau of Statistics Of
Labor furnish the strongest possible
proof that the Mckinley tariff is pre-.
em!nently what we have before described
it, wage-earners' tariff. That is to
say, it is tariff in which the interests
of American wage. earners were steadily
kept in mind, aud which, in its practical
workings, has promoted those interests.
The New York Bureau is in Democratic
hands, the investigation which it has
conducted has been in progress for many
months, and its presentation of results
cannot be impunged on the ground OF
partisanship or of any sinister motive.
We invite to these figures the special
attention of workingmen. 1t is the sys-
TEN which has made such results as these

Insignificant Rural Population.
According to dispatches from Aus

bad way. In Sydney and Mel. olrre.
the two principal cities, thousands OF
starving men are housed or kept work
ing at public expense. The disease
from which the country is suffering is
collapsed boom. To be vulgar, Aus
tralia has bitten of more than she can
chew. At the close of 1883 the Al s
trail 20 onies had borrowed, in the
form of public debts, 1881. SIC, 900,
$50 ,000,e00 of this beng spent on
II 900 miles of railroads. The debts
borrowed en- the security Of boroughs,
public Institutions, and private prop
erty have amounted 10 S250, 900, goo.
Even five years ago there were sixteen
Anglo-Australian mortgages quoted on
fhe London S ock Exchange. and, fer
the most pa t, owned in England, with
a capital OF S., Ge0, 900. Since then a
great increase has been made in these
companies. The past three years have
seen additional uolic and private debts
incurred, which make an aggregate OF
at least 81 $50, COT, 001. This has been
layishly spent on railroads and pubic
works, ami it has built up group OF
colonies whose population in Decem.

population is now over 100000, OF
about the population of this country

able to bear debt fifth as large as
that of Australia.
Railroads and modern commerce
have, however, created population
altogether different from the scattered

3per cent. of the land under cultivation

single article of property ever contain

This was one-sixth the sheep in the civ
