THE STRUGGLE ron FREEDOM.

Prom the fair city On the Seine
Loud Cries Of angry factions come,
And fancy almost hears again
The clash Of arms. the roll OF drum
In phalanx firm with clasped hand;
And, with united front, oppose
The subtitle malice Of her foes.
NaanS NAV nnrri sHs s0a d psss away
But while tho solid earth remains,
Humanity must fear the chains
OF vested rights and special laws,
Framed to uphold oppression's cause
A century has passed away
Since Europe rocked beneath the sway
OF charging sQuadrons, and the shock
OF battle: and the headsman's block
Grew CHASTITY crimson with the hood
OF tyrantS, patriots, martyrs blood.
Who Knocked the peoples wrong and tears
Their heads adorned the peoples spears;
Of wrongs that crushed them to the earth
They little reeked in the blind hate
Which moved them in its fiery birth,
OF reason, pity, prudence faith
Their remedy for wrong was death.
And when the slumbering masses woke,
The letters OF their oppresSors broke,
And threw the guage OF battle down
70 priest and crosier, king and crown.
While shouts of conflict rent the air
France stood the Genius of Despair:
And Europes mountains, plains and wales
Re-echoed with the dread Marseilles.
To-day DER Europe's skies are spread
Clouds deeper dyed with battle red
And through the gathering war-clouds gloom
Falls on the ear the lannon's boom.
And pride of birth, and wealth, and class
In deadly struggle, with the mass
OF SerfS and peasants, soon must close
Since historys birth the mortal foes.
But not DER Europe's skies alone
The clouds of coming strife are thrown;
For here, upon the Western strand
Where patriot statesmen formed q land,
Whose proudest boast they hoped would bs
The home Of freedom and the free,
It's empty boast is, now, to wave
The banner of the free and brave
For equal laws is freedoms part,
And hunger awes the bravest heart.
0 may the angel form of Peace
Bid strife OF warning nations cease
And with glad voice DER sea and land
Proclaim the brotherhood of mani
AS from her lips these accents fall:
zones injury the care of ALL
And. ere these accents die away
In silence on the gladdened day,
Let her clear voice awake again
The echoes of this glad refrain
With deeper stress and louder tone:
Justice to all, favors to none.''
Then shout these clarion notes afer
The Marseilles of a mightier war.
But grant, O God, no human life
May fall victim in the strife;
Let wrong to rich and Justice yield
And conscience be the battle field
Then when upon that field shall stand
The mustered hosts of right and wrong
In final conflict, shall the hand
OF Justice prove prevailing strong.
And rule Of lust, and greed, and might
Be vanquished by the rule of right

Thousands Starving.

Thousands of idle spinners have
been freezing and starving through
out winter of memorable misery IN,
England's great cotton manufacture
ing centre. The prolonged struggle
between the master cotton-spinners
and the operatives has left an army
Of people destitute Of food and fuel
The number out of employment In
Oldham alone is $4,000. The frost
and snow linger with persistence
that points to fatal suffering un1esh
relief speedily comes to the shiver-
ing and starving poor. The local
authorities are overburdened with de-
mands upon them, and private charity
has been exhausted by the continual
and increasing drain since lest No.
vember. Oldham has not seen such
misery since the time of the Ameri-
can war, when the scarcity of cotton
caused thousands Of Lancashire oper4
atives to be thrown out of emp loy-
'nent.

Not the Party, But the Men.

General Weaver is still talking
about the Peoples party becoming
the owner of the Republican vote.
The Democratic and Peoples party
are more apt to swallow each other.
There is nothing in common, abso-
lutely nothing, between the Republic
can party and the Peoples party,
The two are unalterably opposed to
each other and will remain So
Register.
Not SO fast! The Republican party
and the Republican voters are two
very distinct and separate forces.
The Republican voters believe in
justice and fair play; the Republican
party does not. It is the Republican
voters who will unite with the Peo-
pies party, not the Republican party.

Chicago Sentinel: 1t is difficult to
realize the fact that the chuckle-
headed, big-waisted, bull-necked, Buff
falo hangman should be a partic llarly
ambitious man. In other words, it
excites wonder that man OF Grover
Cleveland's natural abilities should
ever imagine himself great man.
But it is evident that MIR. Cleveland
has an am bition-and that particular
ambition is to serve third term as
president of the United States He
wants to ..break the record" In
stead of breaking the record" how
ever, the probabilities are that he
will break his own political neck.
Put the Sentinel on record as saying
that the man who WAS inaugurated
president March 4th is already
laying the wires for third term.

privation to our farmers, and withhold from

YALE WINS THE BOAT RACE.
The Race Was a Good One, But Rough
Water Prevented Fast
Time.
EXECUTIVE MANSION,

The annual boat race between the crews OF
Yale and Harvard was rowed over the New
London four course on the 30th- Yale
won By four lengths in 25 ;0l14. The water
was very rough on account of the strong
wind.
The blue was first at the start and there
was a tremendous cheer for Yale and
frantic shaking of banners
the nose of her boat appeared to
forge ahead. The observation steamers would
list to the right or left in the direction taken
by the spectators In their anxiety to SET the
struggle.
The race was one of the finest ever seen on
the Thames. For the first mile of the course
the crews separated by less than one
third of a boat length. Harvard was in the
lead, and It looked at first as though she
would win the race. Her powerful and rapid
stroke sent her at a pace which Yale could
not equal; but in that very thing lay Har
wards defeat The strain of her furious pace
was too much for her crew. The oars began
to splash and the men began to go to pieces
in the boat Yale's magnih cent form came
to the front Her shell crept on the Har
wards. Soon they were even. Harvard put
forth final effort to save herself, but the
men were not equal to the occasion.
Yale's shell glided gradually ahead. The
men in the middle Of her boat soon saw the
bow of their opponents. A few more strokes
and there was water between the boats, and
from then on the victory was only question
of time. She forged ahead slowly, and amid
the blowing of horns and booming of cannon,
the waving of flags and the cheers OF her sup
porters, she swept across the line with Har-
ward four full boat-lengths behind her.
As soon as the crews passed the finish the
men dropped their oars and lay back on their
seats exhausted. Everyone thought someone
would faint, but none did. The coxswaln
splsshed water In the oarsmen's faces, and in
a minute they were all at their oars again.
Yale pulled over to the float just above the
Shore Line bridge and her men tumbled out
of their boat as fresh looking as though they
had just been taking spin for pleasure. The
Yale launch steamed up to the float and
general admiration meeting followed.

The Pennlless Mans J oh.

A man strolled into the office OF
the United States Express company
on Sherman street and asked for
work. He said he had not eaten for
several days He wore a clean shirt
and looked bright, so the depot agent
put him to work sorting freight.
The man hadn't cent. He Dor.
rowed a dime from tender hearted
coworker and got his breakfast there
with.
After the frugal meal he went back
to the freight shed. Pretty soon a
train rolled in from the west, and
the express cars were shunted onto
the platform.
Hop in there and help transfer
that freight, " shouted the agent.
In the new man hoped. He hadn't
a cent.
The sliding door was pushed open,
and seven men were seated conven-
iently around the interior. Over the
aXles and trucks in each end of the
cars were heaps of canvas bags.
Catch hold and hustle" was the
next order.
He, the penniless man, caughthold.
He tossed the bags to another man a
few PAGES off, who in turn passed
them along. AS each bag few from
hand to hand an ominous rattle and
clink was heard.
An hour passed, and the last bag
went the way of its predecessors, its
canvas sides mufTling in a measure
the ringing sound as coin clashed
against coin.
1t was done. The agent handed the
new man 80 cents.
Come around again, said he.
Away went the man and filled him

The terms kinetoscope and lineto-

uninitiated. The former term ap.

The rapid photographing of these
pictures upon long band of ex-
tremely light, sensitive film creates
the illusory spectacle of real motion
of the figures, and when, to this Wis
ual impression, the phonograph is
called to join its voice we have a
combination of effects upon both au-
ditory and optic nerves. This spe-

electrically to a phonograph, and
