Universal Brotherhood.

The following poem by Rev. Fl. M. Ra
gan we have secured by request. 1t is
model for smooth rythm as well as beau
tiful sentiment:
Let party names no more
Disturb our peace OF mind;
For we are one in truth and love;
We'd leave all else behind.
Let dogmas, creeds and isms,
Be driven from the land;
We love our fellows everywhere;
We'd give to each our hand.
Above the dreams Of earth,
A real world is found;
No vision of the carnal mind
Discerns this holy ground.
We know no North, no South;
No section lines divide
The occult realms of our delight,
Where we can all reside.
Conjoined in heart and hand.
Though many, we are one;
This Universal Brotherhood
Embraces every son. a. NJ. r.

met by Congress are manifold: Re-

WASHINGTON. ID. C., Sept 9. 1893.
president Cleveland" said a
southern Senator who had Just left
the White House, where he had
been invited to attend conference,
''is not prejudiced against those
democrats who are opposed to his
financial policy as far as it has
been announced; and he is fully
aware of the extent of this opposi-
ton in the west and south. he be-
lieves that the wisdom of first re-
pealing the purchasing clause of
the Sherman silver law, which has
been SO greatly denounced by the
business men of the country, and
which was explicitly promised by
the Chicago platform, will be SO
apparent after the entire financial
policy of his administration shall
have been made public that all di-
visions will soon be forgotten.
The first step to be taken is in bis
opinion, to stop the purchase of
silver; but he bears no ill-will to-
wards those who differ with him,
believing that they are as honest in
their belief as he is in his. The
only reason that he has not an
nounced the financial policy of his
administration is that it is not yet
fully determined upon. Mind you,
it is no task of a day, week, or a
month to reconstruct the financial
system of a country Of $1,000, 900
people, which has been growing
from bad to worse under republi-
can legislation, until it is to-day as
bad as it could we'll be, and finar-
cial reform has become the most
urgent necessity of the time. Gro
yer Cleveland has proven himself
to be worthy to be trusted, and /
can see no reason why every demo-
crat should not repose the most
implicit trust in him in this emer-
gency, even if their personal opin-
ions do differ from his as to the

Mistaken Again, As Usual.
The Colfax annex of the Mont
gomery Mail, who enjoys the clerk
ship of the district court, appears
to founder in sea of error and
false impressions. He makes the
statement that the editor of this
paper draws a pension of S25 a
month. This is false both in fact
and theory, and we would kindly
set him right in the matter.
His mind seems to be unduly BIZ
ased and warped in the direction Of
pensions, from the fact that he has
been a pensioner on the public
bounty all his life. Virtually born
with a public teat in his mouth, he
has continually sucked thereat for
almost the entire period of his ex-
istence, and grown fat and saucy
in consequence. But he has not
preserved his good nature and gen.
crosby, as most persons do who
fatten at the public crib. On the
contrary it seems to have develop
ed a sortof dog in the manager dis
position, that prompts him to bully
and browbeat his less fortunate
neighbors. The ease and facility
with which he does ten cents worth
Of writing on a two-cent blank, and
then collects two dollars for his
trouble, does not appear to have de-
veloped liberality and federation
for those who have to work more
laboriously for their living. No,
kind friend; we are sorry 10 say, we
do not draw a pension. 1t is our
sad lot to have to do about 200 days
labor to earn $3.50 salary.
The misfortune of human nature
seems to be that those who live in
glass houses have an inordinate de-
sire to throw stones. In view of
the mistakes that our young friend
is continually falling into, we think
he should let up in his policy of
mud Singing and defamation. We
quote his own language, and trust
he will have the good taste to fol-
low it: "Give us a rest, for the
Lords sake"
