A Clever German.

Sparlich, the student, is an artful Gus
toner. On the last day of every month he
writes. under an assumed name, an impas-
stoned love letter, alternately in French
and English, to his rather young and sus-
ceptible landlady. The young woman Is
naturally delighted to have at hand, in the
person of her lodger, confidential trans
lator of these letters. Very naturally, too,
the said lodger deducts his charge for trans

What time the tender green Of May
Our sorthern mountains wore.
The mOcking bird Vas in the vine.
The thrush was II the thorn.
And an old negro friend Of mine
Was hoeins In the corn
Dear Uncle Ben. though black was he,
His heart q a. kind and true,
Sveeter than sound OF bird or bee
The music that he knew.
His songs were rude and simple things,
No STAFF could hold his tunes.
But they were like the dream that brings
The browse Of summer Moons.
So tender were they. and so warm
So rich with nameless joy,
And istst the melody TO charm
The soft heart Of boy,
That voice feIl silent long ago;
How long ago. Yet still

OF health and happiness,

And battles rage and stress

THE POLITICAL ROUNDUP.

The election Of q Democratic goldbug
on PopuIist bI-n.etallic fusion plat
form was the crowniDg act Of political
dishonesty which has nearly ruined
the people who did it and may Kill the
man who profited by it. No one can
deny the terrible financial stringency
that exists all over the land and there
is no doubt but that Mr.. Cleveland is
very sick of bis sueeess at the polls last
fall, If be is not sick unto death at Buzz
Yards Bay. Whatever sympathy the
people may have wi b binI 10 his pnysi-
cal ailments, that does not extend to
his political troubles. There Is no
doubt as 10 Mr.. CleveIand's financia.
incIiuatIons. They are undoubtedly OF
the strictest gold-bug order. He Is
Wall Street man and has Wall Street
views. He may have had some assur-
ance that the Democratic congress
would conform to Wall Street views
before be assembled it. But he has
been dIsillusiouized. Every effort was
made to get Speaker Crisp to appoint 8
coinage committee that should repres-
ent Wall Street. Bat he is himself 3
free silver man, aud reappOinted Bland,
= free silver man, and free silver COM
mittee. Before that was done Cleve-
land had left Washington. Not word
was said but 1t was known that Wall
Street was beaten, and that the Sher-
man law would never be repealed un-
less free silver coinage was enacted in
stead. The same plank of the Chicago
platform that demanded the repeal Of
the Sherman law demanded the coi;-
age Of both gold and silver upon equal
terms at the government mints. Clsve-
land had promised Wall Street that
with the power Of patronage he would
warp the congress to his will and To do
Its bidding. But he could not warp
the Democrats of the West and South
to the Wall Street view. He had prom
ised goods that he could not deliver
and retired to Buzzsrd's Bay crestfallen
and defeated. Last year the Blaine
leaders pretended to be friendly to the
Harrison administration but plotted for
the success Of the plumed knight for
president. They were guilty of a
stupendous deception. So 1t is with
the Democratic platform and its facing
both-ways plank on finances. 1t will
be the death of Mr.. Cleveland II Its
promise to Wall Street made by him is
not kept. 1t will be the death of the
party II its pledges for free silver to the
people are not kept. Shall the party or
its leader die? The answer Is not diff
cult. Parties die harder than men.
The party rode into power to get the Of
fees. 1t has no character nor soul to
suffer or lose. Mr.. Cleveland is fight
ing for life and death aud his party is
against him.

PENSION SUSPENSIONS.


Following dispatch explains itself
fully:
DETROIT, Mich, July 22.-The most
sensational thing that has yet come to
light relative to the so-called purging
of the pension list is the suspension
of q no less distinguished pensloner
than Justice Charles Dean Long, Of the
Michigan Supreme court. Few soldiers
In this state suffer from wounds as se-
we're as those of Justice Long. b
At the battle of Wilmington Island,
Ga, he lost his left arm, and he was
also shot through the hips and abdo-
men. This latter wound has still to be
dressed twice daily. Although the or
der of suspension bears date Of June 27,
Mr.. Long has not yet received official
notice of its issuance. The notice of
suspension is brief, formal document,
and gives no clue as to the reasons that
have influenced the course of the de-
partment. The order gives the pension
certificate number, which shows that
there could have been no mistake or
confusion of names.
Commenting on the above case the
Freeport, Ills., Journal says:
"Judge Long, Of Michigan, was bad
ly shot to pieces during the war Of the
rebellion and has been receiving $72 per
month. General Black, of Chicago,
another brave officer, was badly
smashed and has been receiving 500
per month. Both were deserving men
and both entitled to their pensions.
But Hoke Smith found that Judge
Long was Republican and he stopped
his pension at once. General Black as
yet has received no notice. Will his
politics save him? We do not know
but we do know that 1t would be q
great outrage to stop the pension OF
General Black. 1t was given him be-
cause he could not by manual labor
earn his support, and that he is serving
~ a congressman on q salary of five
thousand dollars q year does not give
back to him his shattered limbs and
health, and while his physical disabil-
ity continues, and 1t will continue as
long as his life lasts, bis pension should
also be continued. II Judge Long Is
physically disabled 60 that he could not
perform manual labor 1t was an outrage
10 stop his pension, and bis serving as
a Judge has no more to do with his
drawing a pension for physical dlsabil-
ity than General Blacks serving as a
congressman has to do with his physl-
cal disability.

TIE MESSAGE.


An advance outline Of the pfesident's
message 10 congress Is given in our dis
patches. II Is frm In Its tone bat toll
Grant in spirit. The president wisely
does not take sides with either the ex-
treme views Of the gold bugs or silver
ties. -
The men holding gold contracts are
anxious for an absolute single gold
standard. But that will be too expen-
sIve 10 the debtor class. The finance Of
the country cannot be founded on the
luck of miners pick-sxe. 1t must be
more stable than luck Of any sort
whether it be luck in discovering silver
and gold or anything else.
The message itself is anxionsly
awaited and will be read with great in
terest. The country stands upon the
brink Of complete financial and in
dustrial collapse aud only wise action
can save It.
