The Greater America.

Blue and Gray for November:
One of our contributors draws at
tention to the fact that there is no
noun or adjective directly apple
able to citizens of the United States.
The inhabitants of England are
"English;" of France "French :" of
Ireland "Trish;" and so on ad in
finitum. The people of this Nation
are universally termed "Ameri-
:" but this appellatiOn might
properly be claimed by any citizen
of the New World. An eXplana-
ton seems in order. 1t might be
said with perfect truth that the
word american" is used to desig-
nate a citizen of this Republic, be-
cause this nation is by far the great
est in the western hemisphere. 1t
would be unneighbOrly and also UNI
true to go so far as to claim it to be
the only one worth considering.
However, we do not see any reason
for complaint. In due course of
time, and in the natural order of
things, this Republic must and
shall be bounded entirely by water
save for the narrow neck of land
which shall mark our southern
border, and perhaps serve as a
highway upon which bright rib
bons of steel shall join us in COM
mercial harmony to the riches of
the land beyond the Isthmus. Not
in this century, nor perhaps in
this generation; but the day will
come when the term "American"
may be applied with equal accur-
acy to every man between the Arc
tic Ocean and caribbean Sea. And
this takes in the Islands!

Grover stood on the Free Trade deck,
Whence all but him had fled;
His silver bill around his neck
And vetoeS in his head.
Not beautiful, he stubborn stood,
And sought to rule the storm;
A creature of the Mugwump blood,
Though Democrat in form.
His party called he would not go
Without the Mugwump's word,
blew,
But Grover never heard.
He called aloud, "Say. Gresham, say.
If yet my task be done
Projection have we busted up,
Free Trade for England won?'
Speak, Cockrell!'' o0ce again he cried,
''Oh, let me hear from Vest"
But Bland declared, The ways divide"
And he was going west.
Champ Clark was writing up speech
About that western man."
And Alleged was prepared to teach
The new anarchist plan.
Maynard was studying how to steal
For Hill another place;
New jersey Democrats appeal
For winter gambling race.
Lochren was busy writing names
OF pensioners refused,
And BsSell playing at the games
OF poStmaSters abused.
Gresham was working at his best.
\ project low and mean,
To crush republics in the West
And seat negro queen.
Olney was busy to his eyes,
And though the party bust
He thought it suited TO his size
To help another trust.
The Tiger" in his New York lair
Was up to other fun:
The banks and brokers well must fare,
Said Dana and his Sun.
The Bay State Democrats appeared
To be in awful need,
The logic of events they feared,
And that OF Thomas Reed.
While from Iowa came a cry.
A sad, heart breaking noise,
Come no and helpUS ere we die,
Or Jackson II walIop Boise"
The unemployed on every hand
Were crying, Give us bread;
Your FreeTrade talk has wrecked the
land
And killed Industry dead
On Growers brow he felt their breath.
But on the Free Trade deck
He knew not lurked his Uarty'S death,
And set his stubborn neck.
He shouted but once more aloud,
Look at the Great am.

Projections tide was high.
The ballot boxes soon were piled,
Down with Free-Trade." the cry.
There came burst of thunder sound,
A loud Protection peal.
Mckinley bombs were flying round,
And killed poor Larry Neal,
Boise, Maynard, Russell, where are
they?
And Cleveland where is he?

With fragments SLrewed the sea.

On the night Of his arrival in London, says
the Argonaut. NJ. lola was recovering from
the fatigue Of the journey. when the door OF
his room in the hotel opened and waiter
entered, bearing a magnificent basket OF
flowers. and delivered the following message:
Mr.. Oscar WCilde. sir sends these flowers,
and arskS If YOU viii receive him for few
minutes" The words were roughly trans
lated to NJ. lola, who Still seemed puzzled
and shook his head. eXclaiming:
'OscaWOilei OscawOL e. / do not know

ist, equally ignorant OF English pronuncia-
ton.

him the door" cried another At last the
personal conductor Of the party got hear
ing and explained that the unknown donor
was the apostle of British 8stheticsm-a
recommendation which failed to touch the
hearts of his audience. Finally, NJ lola be-
thought him of looking at the gentleman s
card, and at once smile Of intelligence lit
up his expressive features, as he gasped out,
in repcutant accents;
Why, great heavens, it is NJ. Oscarre
Nee!de. the author Of 'SalOme, which we

'Oscarre Neelde!" shouted all the Others

A Source of Soandala-

The pension Office has always been and
will always be, in all probability, source
of scandals Some of those which reach
the public in connection with that insti-
tuition have no foundation, while others,
unfortunately, have pretty solid basis
of truth While Mr. Raum was at the
head of it, various charges of wrong-do-
ing were made against him and the coun-
try, it is pretty safe to say, was glad
when his connection with it ceased.
Some of the republican papers are now
saying that Secretary Smith is restoring
to the rolls at the request of democratic
congressman, pensioners who have been
dropped for various reasons. 1t is alleged
that no effort is made to disprove the
charges upon which the pensioners were
suspended. 1t is said, according to these
papers, that Senator Voorhees, intends
shortly to denouhce the course which is
being pursued in the cases of suspended
pensioners.
This charge against Secretary Smith
looks like a republican effort to make him
the subject of a pension scandal. There
is not much news in Washington Just
now, and there are correspondents there
who are capable Of giving an interpreta-
ton to matters they don't fully under
stand that makes it appear as if some
thing wrong were being done.
We do not know whether Secretary
Smith has reinstated any of the pension
ers that were suspended or not, but we
are thoroughly satisfied that if he has,
he had excellent reasons for doing so. 1t
| is not reasonable to suppose that he has
! done anything that is illegal or improper
or that is not right. He is not so foolish
| as to forfeit his right to public confidence
/ by an indofensible act
The republican papers would like to
find something against him, out of which
| they could make political capital Their
party was so unfortunate in the matter
| of pension Office scandals when it was in
power that they would like to find some
/ thing against the democratic officials who
have charge of the pension Office out Of
which they could manufacture scandals
They will find nothing derogatory to
| Secretary Smith and Commissioner
Lochran, however. Under their admins
tration the affairs of the pension Office
will be kept straight.
