delegation to Minneapolis and Geo. T.

will act with the extreme eastern wing
OF the republican party, He will be of
his party and for his party" Regard.

Star, says:
I'm nominating Ex-Governor Antho-
ny the republicans challenged every
opponent of the doctrines of the repub-
can party. He was a high protection
list, when half the men in the conyen-
ton which nominated him did not
know whether they were for high tariff,
low tariff or no tariff at all, as the
safest political policy. He is the oppo-
nent OF free silver, while the local plat
form he stands on is an avoidance of
that issue. Every democrat, every
friend of tariff reform, every advocate
OF unlimited coinage, every believer in
civil service reform should vote against
Anthony as matter of common con-
sistency."

THE NEW FORUM,
A New Weekly Paper.

JUST STARTED.
The NEW FORUM is new Peoples Party
paper recently started in St. Louis. Mo.
1t has the greatest array of talent Of any
Of the reform papers, and will hold its
place inths front rank among them.
This is the paper which the postal au-
thorities are endeavoring to handicap by
refusing to send out the sample copies
which the propristors Of the paper want
to send to the people. Mr.. Morgan, the
editor and general manager, wanted to
send out free to the people one hundred
thousand sample copies, but after appeal.
ing the matter as high as he could go-to
Mr.. Wannamaker, the Post Master Gen.
eral-and being refused by him from
sending out the sample copies, he is now
appealing, as he says, to God-that is to
the people-(ths voice of the people is
the voice of Cody. In view of this dis.
elimination against the NEW FORUM we
hope every reader of this paper that can
will at once subscribe for it. We will send
it in connection with the VOICE for s1.65
or 1t can be had BY those who subscribe
by the first Of June, for 60 cents for one
years subscription.

1t spouted Up sand.

MILWAUKEE, Dec. 28. -While August
Hubner and his sons were drilling an
~artesian we'll on their farm near Forest
Junction. fifteen miles south OF Depere,
and had reached a depth of onehundred
feet, their work was unexpectedly
stopped. It was about $50 in the morn
ing when they heard an underground
rumbling, not unlike the rolling Of
thunder, and suddenly q column Of sand
was spouted from, the we'll and wat
thrown nearly two hundred feet in the
air. The drill, :.rods and derricks were
smashed and bent and took the same
road, while one of the workmen landed
about fifty feet from the we'll uninjured.
The sand spouts continued with short
intervals and gradually decreased in
force until II O'Clock at night, when an
other column was sent up in the air.
Among the sand, which is lying six
feet deep around the well, were pieces
of clay weighing about one hundred
pounds. At least one hundred wagon
loads were thrown out. The diameter
of the we'll was twenty-six inches up to
Q depth Of ninety feet. below that six
teen inches. No sign Of water was
found.

sues to its employees in regard to Sc

company, and especially in the ase Of
an accident. On the Maine Central
the employees are always found ex-
tremely noncommunicative concern

this prevailing custom an exchange
tells the following amusing story:

the special train to the Gene of the

and found a man with one arm In a
sling. a bandage over n eye. his
front teeth gone and his lose knocked
four points to the starboard. sitting on

I was sent to the Harlem prison ono

Michael McHugh. a plasterer. accused
of abandonment by a Mrs St George,
who protested she was his deserted
wife, writes a reporter Of the New York
Herald.
McHugh claimed to not know the
woman, and the case, after thorough
ventilation in the newspapers, turned
out to be one OF mistaken identity; but
while under suspicion McHugh was
about the maddest man on Manhattan

pulled his long red mustache into
shape. Then he scraped some specks
of white plaster from his blue overalls
with a trowel and stepped into the COR

now to own me as your wife and come

Mrs. St. George put her hand tenderly

Hugh. My daughter came from

claimed. DO you think I'd marry a

MErAMoRPHosRp SONGS.
Alfs Almost identical Doing Service I.
Very Different Capacities.

Airs Amost Identical Doing Service u
Very Different Capacities.
There are many songs which were
composed in the time of Charles II.
whose music is in vogue to-day whose
words were Of the most UNANIMOUSLY
indecent description originally, says
the Boston Musical Herald. Henry
Purcell to the shame Of that epoch
b 1t said, brought forth many of these.
But since even Shakespeare at times
descended to the level of his age we
need not too bitterly blame the musical
genius (the greatest that England ever
produced) for trying to Barr an &C.
o~asional shilling by turning out such
wicked musical compositions. Some
Of the early English ballads tell of
times OF persecution, of bigotry and
Of intolerance. Naturally these music
81 works have undergone transforma-
ton in modern times: but one. The
Jews Daughter" has remained intact,
and tells Of the murder of Hugh of
Lincoln, which took place A. d. 1855.
and was charged upon the Jews Of
Lincoln, of whom over 200 were
brought to London and tried, with tor
ture, for a mythical crucitixion of the
unfortunate lad:
The tale of ancient jealousy has
come down to u times in the song
%. Wally. Wally Up the Bank"
which refers to the separation of Lord
Jamie Douglas from his wife. The
original tale reads much like the plot
of Shakespeare's ''Othello," for there
was an Iago in the shape of a certain
Lowrie of Blackwood. secretary to
Douglas. and in default of the fatal
handkerchief which plays so important
. part in the Shakespearean tragedy
this wicked man placed a pair of boots
in such wise that the jealousy Of the
marquis was aroused, and a pathetic
separation followed. of which few who
sing the song know anything.
Some of the odd transformations of
songs are due to what must originally
have been something very like theft

tant relative to Nearer my God to
Thee" thus making a favorite hymn
tune first cousin to an ungodly and
very energetic dance. Such changes
might occur through the unconscious
retention of q tune in the mind: "a
once happened to Mendelssohn while
composing ':Elijah;" he had heard
AUD Robin Gray" sung to Leeves'
tune (this popular melody is not the
original tune, which went with tho
words). and the melody clung to his
memory without his being aware Of
the fact. When. therefore. he set the
words of .'Oh Rest in the Lord" to
the extreme horror of the publisher
he used Leeves' tune without in the
least being conscious of plagiarism.
When his attention was drawn to the
fact he altered the melody. but tho
careful observer will still discover
something of the flavor OF ..Auld Robin

Many of the songs of the German
students have been stolen and repro
duced in new guises on this side of the
Atlantic. eMaryland. My Maryland"
for example. is note for note the old
German song 20 Tannebaum, " a song
in praise of fidelity. The simple little
song SO often heard in Kindergarten
or Sunday school as .Oh, Come. Come
Away" is one of the most popular Of
the student songs. but in Germany it
represents the merits of a very fiery
punch called ''Crambambull." Our
national music is full of metamor-
phoses akin to those mentioned above.
Yankee Doodle" being old English,
'The Star Spangled Banner''a %jovial
drinking song, and America" tho
English national anthem. Even the
hymnology is not exempt from these
importune resemblances, for Sun Of
My Soul' is not very far from Mozart's
''Se Vuol Ballare," and many other
instances of metamorphoses might be
cited; but enough has been noted to
prove that Solomop's saying, There
is nj new thing under the sum-" may
be very stongly applied to music.

another fall of snow today, although
there was no wind accompanying it and
consequently the damage resulting will
amount to little. In this city snow fell
steadily all the afternoon but ceased
soon after nightfall. It is not cold,
however, Two deaths were reported
from the storm of last week and one has
thus far been reported this week.
George Wightman, q shoemaker aged
sixty-three years, was found dead near
Gary, 8. D., yesterday evening. When
last seen he had . quantity. Of whisky
and probably froze to death while

Other deaths may be heard; Of later but
