A SWEET SINGER.

Our present sweet singer is not from
Michigan, hence is not Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, or Ella, as she was before she
captured the Wilcox, with man in the
name. But we refer to Prof. Maurice
Francis Bgan of Notre Dame. His
"Songs and Sonnets," just out, dives
deep into the purer deeps of the Pierian
spring. Take, for instance, the poem
among the Reeds" redolent with
classic as well as natural beauty:
Among the reeds, beside a singing fountain
sienus sat when life was young and gay,
Ana pIped until the echoes from the mountain
Awoke the birds as II at break OF day.
The fount is dry, and no more old Silenus
Makes singing sweet re-eoho on the shore.
Great Pan is dead; the exiled tawns have seen us
walk with bowed heads where biltho they danced
before.

GUESS NOT.

Senator Stewards days of potency
are numbered. Nevada will soon be
annexed TO some Of the adjoining states
or territories, aud then his career will
end-St. Louis Globe-DemOcrat.
This Globe-Democrat is Republican
organ, and ought to know enough to
know that wiping out a state by an
nexation to another state is not an easy
job. The Republicans made Nevada a
state, in order to increase their power
in the United States Senate, and Re-
publican legislature made Mr.. Stewart
United States Senator. Now, that he
has gone back on the 6. o. p, it is pro-
posed not only to wipe him cut of the
Senate, but wipe off his state from the
United States map. This Is a job that
takes several powerful factors to work
aud, in the immediate future, the Globe
Democrat has no party with any poten-
CIV to work either end of this joh,
If the editor of the Globe-Democrat
will read the Constitution of the United
! States, Art w, Sec. 3, he will find the
! following potent paragraph:
"New States may be admitted by tht
| Congress into this Union. but no new
| State shall be formed or erected within
| the jurisdiction of any other State; mol
| any state be formed by the junction ol
two or more States Ur parts of States

1T seems the Supreme court of
Nebraska, since the attempt to rob
Gov, Boyd of his seat as Governor, has
learned more law and more decent
methods. It has just made decision,
in accordance with the law and the
facts in the contest case from Clay
county, which settles the question of
the political character of the Nebraska
legislature. The contest cases are now
thrown out of the courts and the Re-
publicans lose the legislature and all
hope of occurring u. 5. Senator.

CONFESSED lNCAPAClTY.


The Cleveland Leader Of today repu-
dates the Sherman silver law, witch it
approved at the time Of its enactment
as the perfection of all human wisdom
Here is Just what the Leader says:
"The condition of the took market
Yesterday, caused, as l. was in large
part, by the high rate demanded for
money and the fear Of further and more
serious losses OF gold TO Europe Was a
very pOinted hint that we caunOt go on
d srsgaTGing the monetary policy of
Other gieatCOmmercial nations without
severe and dangerous disturbances Of
business in this country. In short,
safety demands that the purchase of
silver for coinage purposes, at fixed
and very high rate shall cease as long
a3uO International agreement Is reach
ed rerariing the use Of silver IS money.
The pre- siag duty of Congress is 30 re-
peal the existing law which requires the
purchase every month Of not less thaD
4 5OOO Ouucas Of silver. Other details
of currency legislation caa be arranged
later"
in other words the Leader now con-
cedes the situation as full of peril, and
and the Republican policy must
be changed At the same time
it suggests no remedial legislation, but
says the details can be arranged later.
Iu other words, the Leader proposes to
trust the new Democratic Congress
with the remedial legislation. Here is
is an open confession of all-absorbing
incapacity.

THE great powers of the government
have been seized and perverted to the
acquisition Of wealth for favored class
es, and in consequence OF that there
has been such an accumulation OF
wealth in private hands as almoststart-
les the contemllative patriot when he
considers the result to come to our
country. Small enterprises have been
crushed out by the large aggregation
aud accumulation of capital in the
hands of those who own large e5tAb -
lishmcnts. The independent worker,
once so common in this country, with
bis shop here and there in every village
administering to the wants OF his
neighbocs-that handy aud necessary
class have been swept away, and they
have become hirelings, wage-r receivers
in the establishments belonging to ac-
cumulated wealth. This, sir, is sad to
me. Wealth has become go enormous
in private hands, the capacity for cor
porate action by which large and larger,
still growing larger, means have been
united and welded as by one man and
one mind, has put the great mass of the
community at still greater disadvan-
,sge. Prior to 1860 you could count
the mUionaire1 of this country upon
the fingers of one hand. Now their
name is legion. not only milliOnRires,
but multimillionaires, any one ofwhom
could exercise a power upon the ex-
changes that would be dangerous; but
when associated, with common object
in view, and that object the further in
crease OF this aggregated and enormous
wealth, becomes serious problem for
the patriot and the statesman.-Senator
George, Of Miss.
