mittee has received from the state
campaign committee a letter Of adj
vice. from which we quote:
CAS- the names of the candidates
Of the four parties will be printed
Ton the same ticket under one head
without party designation, it is nee
essary that Democratic voters IA
miliarize themselves with the names
of the nine nominees Of their party.
We would advise and urge as a
means Of effecting this knowledge
that you have lists printed Of said
names. One of said lists
should be furnished every Demo-
cratic voter as a guide and reminder
of our nomiImes. And he should
carry this for reference until he has
cast his vote.
'sYou should,in our judgment,call
a meeting Of your committee, and
of the democratic precinct election
managers, as soon as they are ap-
nointed. and thoroughly post them

The most reliable biographer of The
great admiral who so soon noted the
value Of America as an opening for
the soiled and. oppressed Of the Old
World, where they could come and
bring their cholera with them, was
Fernando Colombo, the son.
Christopher Columbus was educated
at the normal school in Paria,
where he stood well in mathematics,
and especially in trigonomotry, or the
science of trigs.
Antonio de Terzago was his tutor,
IL Is said. De Terzago was the origi-
nator of the mathematical discovery

and also greater accuracy may be Sc

AT the age of IS Columbus became
a sailor and began sitting for his pic

the Columbus family aud ono daught-
er, who married a butcher. Her
brother, IL is said, on his first voyage
brought with him from America a
dozen softshell crabs aud a diamond
back terrapin for his sisters husband,
but no one would purchase them, aud
they perishcd on his hands. This
brother-in-law afterward wrote a
piece tor the paper stating that rccip-
rocity with America was not what il
had been cracked up to be.
Another biographer says that Co
lumbus went 10 sea at the age of IA,
but this may be because of the conflict
regarding the year of his birth.
Las Casas describes Columbus as

Bereath a tender rain.
An April rain Of smiles and tears,
My heart Is young again.
The west winds blow, and. singing low,
hear the glad streams run
The windows Of my soul ! throw
Wide open TO the snn.
No longer forward or behind
look in hope or fear;
But. grateful, take the good hnd,

Aside the toiling oar
The angel sought 50 far away

The airs OF spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness Of the flowers OF May
Blow through the antumn morn
Yet shall the blue-eyed gentian look
Through fringed lids to heaven,
And the pale aster IN the brook
Shall see its image given;
The woods shall wear their robes OF praise,
The sonth wind softly sigh.
And sweet, calm days in golden haze,
Melt down the amber sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age Of wrong;
The craven flowers that wreashe the sword
Make not the blade less strong
But miting hands shall learn to heal,
To build a. to destroy
Nor less my heart for others feel

To give or 10 withhold,
And hnoweth more Of all my needs
Thau all my prayers have told
Enough that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track
That whereso'er ny feet have sweryed,
His Christening turned me back
That more and more a Providence
or love is understood,
Making the springs Of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good;
That death seems but a covered wsy
Which opens into light,
Wherein no blinded chIld can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight
That all the iarring notes Of life
Seem blending in psalm,
And all tho angles Of its strife
slow rounding into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart,
And 50 the west winds play;
And all the windows Of my heart
/ Iopen 70 the day.

Well, as I see you allow the boys to
"gallize," suppose you will allow me to
moralize. We hear great deal said about
hard times, and think more than should
be said, unless people were trying to make
times better. Various men and things are
said to be the cause such as Tillman,
bulls and bears of Wall Street banks and
merchants, and hundred oiher things
that have no more to do with hard times
than the man in the moon. The only
merchant that is causing such hard times
in this country is the whiskey dealer; and
be could do US no harm if the men just
had sense enough to let him alone. But
they will not do it. They will deal with
him when they know that he will make
hard times for them in this world, and
worse in the next. Hurrah for Senator
