SUNLIGHT 40 BEYOND THE
STORM.

Up the mountain side. aines morning.
We had plodded all the day;
0hw the frightened channels bounding
From our sight away, aWay;
Saw the mighty rocks and bouldsrs,
Careless scattered all around,
As II dashed from giant shoulders
In passion to the ground.
Now, all obstacles suImounted,
On the summit glad we stood.
Where glow of cleaning glory
Surged upon us like flood.
Oh, the sunlight Oh. the sunlight
How it shot in quiv'ring bars,
Telling of the walls of jasper
And the city DER the stars.
Far belong a storm was raging,
And the clouds of blacklist hue
Rolled and tossed in mad confusion,
While the lightning glittered through,
Hidden from us all the valley,
By the moving murky screen;
But above, where we were standing,
All was quiet and serene.
And my heart went out in pity
To the dwellers far below
Hidden from them all the beauty,
Hidden from them all the glow
And wondered II In future.
After we have done with life,
When the mountain is ascended-
Left below the storm Of strife
IF we then would look in pity
On the cloud-hid souls below;
Whisper that sweet rest was DER them
Bid them bravely upward 60.
Ye within the storm-swept valley.
Look beyond the dark ming skyi
On the mountain top is sunlight;
Ye shall reach it by and by.

A Western Wilmington and His Cats.
Here comes story for you which
sounds almost like an out West fairy
tale, but I am told that it is strictly
true: "During the first days Of
pixies Peak, when that country was
being occupied b. mining prospectors,
their cabins were overrun with rats
not your domesticated, house-mice and
rats of an old civilized community,
but rats-large ravenous rats-wtth
teeth and digestive apparatus capable
of managing anything from tough
old boot to dainty piece of breakfast
bacon.
"This state of affairs came TO the
knowledge of thrifty Dutchman,
poor, but willing to earn bright
dollar if the way was only pointed
out, and reused his dormant ideas to
take advantage of the rat nuisance
and profit thereby. The Dutchman
secured a yoke of oxen, rugged a
prairie-schooner. with three stories,
and filed the same with good cats
which his neighbors were glad to get
rid of. With this outfit he started
across the plain for Pixies Peak, a
tedious journey Of some 600 miles.
This, with scant supplies of game,
prepared the cats for any encounter
with their victims.
'Their arrival spread Joy among
householders, and everything was set
aside to purchase cats. When the
stock of our worthy Dutchman had
been speedily converted into gold
dust, he sold his team, returned on
foot across the desert plains to Omaha
with over $1,000, aud bought farm
near by. But the climax of his ven
ture was attained when his faithful
oxen strayed back to him!''-''Jack-
in-the- Pulpit" in St. Nicholas.

Goethe recommends sin the first

Montagu said that in all her extended
travels she had found out two classes

but strong as may be the generic fe-
semblance between different minds,
the fact is nevertheless obvious, that
no man lives who has not his mental
peculiarities and idiosyncrasies-who
differs not in many respects, in soul
as in body, from every other man,
and if a writer fails to excite a
sympathetic thrill in the public MINI,
it is because he blacks self-reliance-
because parrot-like, he respects the
sayings of others instead of giving Us
the courage of his own brain-be-

THIs administration ought to have
the credit Of a return TO dignity in the
management of the affairs Of the state
department. While Mr.. Blaine was
there we were having bombast and ag-
gressiveness 10 a degree that put the
Harrisonized papers in hot water and
made the country ridiculous. The collapse
Of that Blaine Salisbury correspondence
after such flourish and parade was
pitiful and humiliating. It re,
suited in the collapse Of Blaine.
Then came that particularly active
period Of Harrison when he was repre-.
sented as frowning hard and bringing
his 'clenched fist down upon the table
to scare little Chilli. Then came the
famous war message, which was 'just in
time" and on which witty John Allen
/ told his famous anecdote of the farm
hand who ran to the barn for fear the
shower would be over before he could
| get out of the hot harvest field
Since those Quixotic efforts tC

and envelope this administration in a
blaze Of glory and patriotism did not
meet with any response except disap
proval that was well-nigh contemptuou.

ANOTHER BREAK.

The Morning News reporter has made
another underhanded imputation. This
imputation is against the Democratic
registrars all over the state. 1t is as
follows:
A question which many persons in this
city and county are asking is: Have
the registrars in the rural districts had
printed copies of the names now appear
ing upon their registration books as re-
quired by lawg So far as has been heard
no order has been given by the registrars
either in this county or in Kent and
Sussex counties for the printing. It is a
big job of printing and if anyone had re-
ceived it people would probably have
heard of the contract being given out.
The imputation of dereliction of duty
is followed by a lengthy extract from the
Registration law. 1t was an extract so
plain in its purport as TO be within the
comprehension Of any child 10 years old
A child could have cut it out, pasted it
upon piece of paper and placed it in the
hands of the compositor for as sensible a
story as the editor has made Of IT,
The Morning News did not use one
effort to ascertain whether or not the
contract for doing the printing had been
given out II prints an innuendo against
the registrars, while the New Castle and
Sussex county printed lists are being
shipped from this city by two well known
printers, whose places of business are
not 200 yards from the editorial rooms Of
the Morning News.
The New Castle and Sussex county
lists are now in the hands of the regis
trars or subject to their disposal. The
Kent county lists have been completed
for several days. The lists will be hung
up in all three counties today by Demo
cratic officials who have every regard for
the law which created them.
The Morning News did not know it. It
was not expected to know it. 1t has
never been accused OF, knowing anything
that had one iota of fairness in it. In
the words of one of the printers, its
break this time was "a very poor piece

To what purpose is it that Carnegie ac-
cumulates untold millions; to what pur-
pose is it that the steel, iron and wool
industries are saved from alleged de-
struction; to what purpose is it that
maple sugar gets bonus and the tin

the nations Of the world is to be stopped
and the whole agricultural industry is to
be crippled Granting even that the

the whole people for the en-
tire industry of the country if
this is accomplished at the cost Of other
industries and Of the agricultural in
dustry which is the basis Of our wealthg
No sane man will deny that other in
dustries which are profitable must bear
the burden of those McKinleyed indus
tries which are not profitable. We
have seen our commerce taken away by
other nations, and now we see the be-
ginning of agricultural depression
which means that our farming
industry is leaving. India and Egypt
compete with us in cotton, Russia and
India compete with us in wheatY Granting
all the blessings the advocates of closed
markets claim. can we afford to lose all
of our commerce and to cripple agricul-
ture for them? What will it profit us to
enrich the entire body Of protected manu-
facturers if we lose commerce and agri-
culture? This depression of the price Of
farming lands cannot be explained other
wise than by admitting that the Nc
Kinleyed industries are prospering at
the cost Of the farms.
