A Poets Death.

The last words of the "good, gray poet"
Walt Whitman, whose life went out like
an exhausted candle, were, WARY, shift"
This was said to his attendant, whose name
was Warren, and it indicated that the
weary patient wished to be turned over on
his couch.
Strong, sententious and expressive to the
last. The words were indicative of the
strength and simplicity of the man who
wrote and spoke in natures language.
Virile and human in all things, the poet
knew how in the supreme moment to con-
vey thought and wish in simplest form.
When Benjamin Franklin lay at deaths
door, one of his relatives, watching beside
his bed, said: ''Let me move you little.
think you will be easier" The flicker
ing intellect Of the great old man caught
the idea, and he feebly whispered, "Use-
less; a dying man can do nothing easy"
Sage and philosopher to the end. These
were practically his last coherent words.
There was philosophy in Franklin's last
utterance, and strength, if not poesy, in
Whitman's Wary, shiftp' And the
scene shifted from this great stage Of won
drous fact and mystery to the absolutely
unknown.-New York Advertiser.

Present Conditions.

The Road.
The conditions of the times may
be briefly summed upin the following !:
Crime increasing.
Wealth concentrating,
Discomfort widespread.
Statesmen ~ selling their honor
and betraying the people who trusted
them.
Courts rendering vicious decisions
for corporate powers and their politi-
cal stools.
The poor starving.
The rich feasting.
The worship of the almighty dollar.
Business men failing.
Farmers practically swamped and
the industries dying.
What is the cause
Easy enough.
Political chicanery.
Fat frying" ''Blocks Of five"
methods.
McKinleyism.
Contraction of the circulating me-
dunn after debts are made upon an
inflated basis.
A partial remedy is the reinstate-
ment of silver as legal tender money.
The next great political issue will
be money. Mark the prediction.
The masses are getting the worst of
it under the present program and the
classes are getting rich through vicious
legislation which permits the trusts,
monopolies and combines to limit pro-
duction in order to shove up prices
while they lower wages. How long
can our republic stand this sort of
strain?
A new order of things must and will
prevail
Wake up! and give it out cold that
no man gets your vote next fall who
does not favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.

The Two Spirits.

A congregation in Scotland. it is said,
in order to increase its receipts, leased the
cellar of the church to liquor merchant
in which to store his surplus stock. One
day the following lines were found to be
chalked upon the wall of the building:
There's spirit above,
And spirit below
A spirit of love,
And spirit of woe,
The1spirit above
Is the spirit divine;
The spirit below
Is the spirit of wine.
This opened the eyes of the church fa-
theirs, who thereupon cancelled the liquor
dealers lease.

Convict Manufactures.

Houston Post.
"Well, Mr.. Blank, have you looked
at my bid for making bookcases ?"
"Yes, Smith, / have, and also the
bids of other cabinet makers in town,
but | heard that the penitentiary at
Huntsville was doing work of that
kind and so l wrote for an estimate
and find l can get the cases much
cheaper there"
"Well, Mr.. Blank, / have to live
and pay my Workmen living wages,
and | can't compete with the State
convict work. / learned my trade
and never thought that would have
to compete with the State and con-
vict labor to make living at it. A
republican government is supposed to
guarantee to every man the right to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness, and yet here is the State it
self, by this infamous policy, driving
me and my family to want"
"But, Smith, you do not expect
the people of Texas to support the
convicts in idleness, do your"
well, yes; if it were necessary, to
prevent competition with honest la
Dor. 1t is better that every man in
Texas should pay his small share of
tax to support convicts than one hon
est man should be driven to want by
the State"
And Smith was right.

OPEIOUSAs LA. SATURDAY, SUBS
Negroes Sold at Auction.

Fayette, Mo-, March 29-Three negroes
were sold here yesterday at public auction
under the vagrancy act, which provides for
the sale of vagrants, possession being given
to the purchaser during the term of sem
tence. G. W. Patterson, Henry Lee and
0tho Williams, all negroes. had been con-
yicted of vagrancy, and were given over to
the sheriff The latter decided to take ad-
vantage of the yagrancy act, and adyertis-
ed them for sale. The sale took place in
front of the courthouse steps, and was at
tended by great crowd of people, among
which were many negroes who were high
ly indignant, and who could scarcely be
persuaded that slavery time had not re-
turned. Patterson was first put on the
block. He was a sturdy negro, and the
bidding for him was quite spirited. He
was finally knocked down to farmer
named Ham for S25. Henry Lee was not
quite so good bargain for the county.
He brought only S5. Williams was a wea-
zened old negro, and he was sold for
song. One dollar secured him to James
Horner, cattle feeder. The negroes of
the town are greatly exercised over the
sale, and threatsn vengeance.

New Nation.
If a small boy should be found with
roll of $1,000 in his possession the
presumption would be that as he could
not have earned so large a sum he
must have stolen it, and he would be
Immediately and unceremoniously
taken by the coat collar and made to
give an account of how he came by
the money. We respectfully submit
that when a grown man is found with
ST 100000 in his possession it is equal
ly safe to assume that he did not come
by so large a slice of the national
wealth by any proper means, and that
society should therefore take him by
the scruff of The neck and make him
give an account OF how he secured
what he has. We undertake to say
that no man can justify his possession
of ST. ,000, 600 on sound ethical grounds.
1t is as much out of the power Of a
grown man fairly to earn that sum as
it is beyond boys power to earn the
thousandth part of it.
The farmers feed the nation; the
industrial classes clothe them with
out them the nation could not live
still the plutocrats say they are not
capable of governing themselves. Is
such insults, emanating as they do
do from the lowest slums of hu-
manity and living in luxury, as
they do, by pilfering from their SUI
periors, to be countenanced much
longer? We think not. The people
are awakening to sense of duty, so
the politicians and professional Office
seekers and hired tools of Wall street
had better stand from under. An
avalanche is coming that will cover
them so deeply that the combined
forces of Shylock can not unearth
them.-0regon Alliance Herald.

Facts About Animals.

st. Louis Republic
All animals which chew the cud
have cloven or split hoofs.
Animals of the bovine (cow) order
have no teeth in the front of the up
per jaw. The owl is unable to move
the eyeball, which is immovably fixed
sin the socket by strong, elastic,
cartillaginous case.
There is no country in the world in
which the raven is not found to be a
native it is also the only bird known
to ornithologists which is of such cos
mopolitan character.
The frog, owing to itspeculiar struc-
ture, cannot breathe with its mouth
open and, if it were forcibly kept
open, the creature would die OF suffo-
cation. In the parrots beak both
mandibles are moyable-a popularity
unknown in other species of bird.
Fish swallow their food whole because
they are obliged to keep continually
opening and closing the mouth for the
purpose of respiration. Rabbits, snakes,
birds and fishes never close their eyes
because unprovided with eyelids. The
rabbit and the common barnyard fowl
are each provided with thin mem
brane which is let down over the eye
when asleep or at rest.
The horse has no eyebrows, and if
much white is visible in the eye itself
it is sure sign of vicious nature.
The British cuckoo and the Ameri-
can COW blackbird never build nests OF
their own, but content themselves
with depositing their eggs in the
nests of other and smaller representa-
,tiyes of the feathered tribe.
