Weakness, like pain, is a warning
that the system is out OF order, that

The Democratic Dilemma.

In his letter of acceptance President
Harrison has disposed finally and eff
fectually of the cOwardly Democratic
pretense that the so-called force bill is
an issue in this campaign. The Presi-
dent does not yield one iota of the Re-
publican principle of a free vote and a
fair count. He declares in the most
emphatic terms the supreme necessity
of ballot untained by fraud and in
timidation. The specific remedy which
he urges for the present dangerous and
unconstitutional state of affairs in the
South is the appointment of a non-par-
tisan commission, composed of men of
the highest standing to take cognizance
of the prevalence of election frauds in
various States and to recommend some
means of relief.
In order to secure absolute imparti-
ality in this commission the President
suggests that Its members should be ap-
pointed by the Supreme Court of the
United States. The recommendation
which such body might make would
of course be merely advisory. But
they would be likely to have great
weight with Congress, with the State
Legislatures and with the people at
large, to whose action the solution of
the problem of securing honest cleo
tions must ultimately be committed.
President Harrison gladly recognizes
the favorable signs that have recently
appeared in certain Southern States in
regard to improved election methods.
He frankly expresses the hope that ''the
arbitrary and partisan election laws
and practices which have prevailed
may be corrected by the States, the
laws made equal and non-partisan and
the elections honest" 1t would be i'm
possible to conceive of any agency bet
ter fitted to aid and encourage this
movement than the impartial commits
sion which the President suggests.
What answer will the Democrats
make to President Harrison's Just and
patriotic recommendation To oppose
it is to write themselves down as afraid
to trust their case to the great court of
public opinion. Antagonism to the
project will amount to confession be-
fore the world that the charges of false
counting and organized intimidation
brought against the Democratic party
are SO true that they dare not allow the
subject to be honestly Investigated. It
is worse than useless for Democratic
organs to endeavor to keep up the hys-
terical shrek of Force BILL" Their
clamOr has been without the slightest
justification from the first. To con.
continue it now, in the face of the
Presidents eminently fair and concili-
atory proposal, will be to invite popu-
ular contempt.-New York Press.

A TALE OF A SHIRT.
A Drummer's Horrible Dilemma In an
Iowa Town.

II now carry three dozen laundried
shirts with me when travel, and divide
them among half dozen grips and
trunks as an insurance accident" said
Clarence G. Steadman, a commercial
pilgrim with headquarters at the Lin
dell. Last summer reached Atlantic,
Iowa, and abiding place of my best
girl, Saturday noon. My trunk failed
to connect, and expected remittance did
not arrive, and there was, stuck, with
out money to buy change of linen,
and the young lady expecting me to
tea. l had nothing to do, so conceived
the brilliant idea of remaining in my
room and sending my linen to my
laundry with a quick time order. Ibid
so, and in ten minutes the porter raped
at the door and told me Miss So and So
was in the parlor with a number of
other young ladies, waiting for me. l
took the porter into my confidence, and
he went down and bawled out that
'Mistah Steadman couldn't come down

Then the girls pounded on the piano
and sang The Song of the Shirt At
this juncture the laundry kid come to
the foot of the stairs and yelled out
that the boss say he can't git that are
shirt done afore tomorrer. Well,
wrapped sheet around and strobe up
and down my room, engaged in silent
prayer, while the girls in the parlor
howled like female boarding school
on holiday. There was rap at the
door, and the laundry kid, with sus-
picious grin, handed in bundle. The
boss was mistaken, and my troubles
were at an end. got into the clothes,
but they were evidently not mine. The
bifurcated garments had a lot of fizagig
trimming around the bottom. They
were roomy enough, but the room was
not in the right place. A man who
would wear such things, except on COM
pulsion, should be made an example of.
The shirt was cut low at top and bot

sleeves. thought perhaps it was

county; got into it, tied handkerchief
around my neck and was preparing to
descendwhen an old maid boarder at
the hotel came to inform me that her
laundry had been delivered at my room
by mistake. She was in hurry for it,
and insisted that hand it out at once.
AS l could not do 80 she alarmed the
house with cry of thieves, and the
City Marshal broke into my room at

JONI g. WHITTIER Is DEAD.
The Good Gray Poet Peacefully Passes
Away.

Away.
HAMPTON FALLS, N. H., Sept. T.
John Greenleaf Whittier, the poet, died
at 4.3O this morning. His near rela-
tives were at his bedside when death
came.
AMEsBURY, MASS, Sept. 11.-Ames-
bury is a saddened town today. The
news of the death of Whittier has
brought grief to every heart. The last
few days were full of anxiety, but the
hope had ever held sway with the peo-
pie that he would recover. Tuesday
morning the report of his condition was
such as to give some hope that the
stricken poet might recover, but late in
the day he began to fail and soon be-
came unconscious. His last conscious
utterance was one of recognition of his
niece, Mrs. Samuel Pickard, who lived
with him for some years previous to
her marriage. Mrs. Pickard asked him
during the afternoon if he knew her.
He replied: Eyes have known you
all the time," and Immediately lapsed
into Inconsistencies, in which state he
remained until 4.3O Wednesday morn
ing, when he passed quietly away. His
end was peaceful and apparently pain
less, like one falling asleep, fitting
close for such life.
His body was brought to his home in
Amesbury on Saturday. The funeral
was held on the same afternoon at 2. 90
p M. from his late residence on French
street, the house in which many of his
best poems were written and the shrine
of every visitor to Amesbury.
The body rests in the Friends Gene
terry, where also rest his parents, uncle,
aunt, sister and brother, and thus the
family are again united here as well as
in the land of rest. All business was
suspended during the funeral.
R1LEY's TRIBUTE TO WHITTIER
James Whitcomb Riley contributed
to the Indianapolis News the follow
ing tribute to the dead poet:
"Giftless we come to him who all things
gives,
And live because he lives"
The Poets last lines.
Hail to thee and all good cheer,
Though LIEN say thou liest here
Dead,
And weep all uncontrolled.
BY thy faith, refining mine,
Life still lights those eyes of thine,
Clear
AS the autumn atmosphere.
Ever still thy smile appears,
AS the rainbow OF thy tears,
Bent
Der thy loves vast armament.
Thou endurest-shall endure,
Purely, as thy song is pure.
Hear,
Thus my hail: Good cheer, good cheer.
