One would think from the h

One would think, from the howl
sent up by the G. o. p. Republican
organs, that the main object of the
Democratic party was the complete
ruination and humiliation of the
country. They do not seem to pos
sess sufficient intelligence to under
stand that the people of the United
States are by large majority DEM
cratic, and that to bring disaster to
the nation would be to accomplish
their own ruin; or at least if they
do so understand, they are dishonest
to their readers and false to the
land in which they live.

The gold that went out of tins
country to foreign lands, under the
Harrison Republican g. o. p. admin
istration, is now daily return
ing to our shores, while in all parts
of the country manufacturers are
again starting up, which leaves the
calamity howing Republican papers
in position to look up something
fresh to charge up to the Demo-
cratic administration.

Now that the worst of the finan-
cial scare has passed, and thousands
upon thousands of men are being
set at work in the various manufac-
tories throughout the country, il
might not be ont of place to ask
some of the Republican organettes
if this returning of confidence and
re-opening of commercial channels
is not to be charged to the Demo.

The Big Rapids Herald thus
notes a little incident that occurred
during the trip of the Michigan
Press association to the Worlds
Fair:
Supper being about over, one of
the Republican editors quietly call
ed the waiter to him, and asked for
the bill. The waiter figured and
figured, and finally blurted out ST.
90! Great hay stacks! Four dol
lars and ninety cents-for what {?
The waiter, who hardly knew one
word of English, repeated four
ninety! Then there was a Babe
of tongues figuring up; so many
beers so much, so many sandwiches
so much, so much sauerkraut Sc
much-but where in Samhill does
the rest come in? BY this time
one of the proprietors had strolled
over, and opened the eyes of the
party by stating, "You had dozen
Frankfurts at this table. They
cost three dollarsr' Hollymacca.

Frankforts-why they are fed out
free at all lager-beer saloons and
gardens in this country! my
frents," said the suave diplomat
dose Frankfurts was made in Cher
many, and Of course was imported
The bill was paid without another
word, as was also the bill for sim.
liar supper at the next table. AND
then the Democratic editor had tn,
effrontery to say to his Republican
friends: you ought to be con
weed by this time that the consum'
er pays the tax, and so inform your
benighted readers"

Now that the stagnation of bus
mess is beginning to pass over, and
manufactures are starting up
again, setting thousands Of EN-
ployes at work, the shrewd Repub-
lican newspapers are sharp enough
to see that their wild cry of 'gone
Democrat" is now working the
other way. We still have our
Democratic administration, and a
gold and silver lining is now seen
in the future, coming out of the
cloud made dark and dismal through
bad Republican legislation.

Most of the hotheaded g. o. p.

keeping mighty quiet on that sub

Forum a financial and historical review,
entitled "A Century's Struggle for Sill

depicts wildly the widespread embarrass-

The Heroes and the Flowers.

There is gladness where the showers
OF the sun ravs run along.
All the grass is gay with flowers.
All the air is sweet with song.
Little happy birds are nesting
In the hedge and in the glade,
And the smile of God is resting
On the good that he has made.
Comes burst of battle thunder,
And the frightened birds have fled.
Solid ranks are rent asunder,
And the green is dripping red.
There's u shock of foemen meeting
And a discord of their wrath,
While the heavy feet are beating
Down the flowers in their path.
Now the flowers gently, gently
Fall upon each narrow mound,
And the spirit ears intently
Catch tho echo of the sound,
For it enters in the portals,
Tells its message sweet and dear
And the warrior immortals
Know they are remembered here.
Ah, the years are gray with kindness,
And the sky is blue with peace.
Gone forever Is the blindness.
Now the battle echoes cease.
Birds are singing in the meadow,
Love is shining in the sun;
Gone forever Is the shadow,
For the blue and gray are one.

With early flowers and little flags and
