THE PASSING OF GROVER.

l am dying, Wilson, dying,
Ebbs the spirit from me fast,
As my being chills and shivers
In the cool November blast
Hush thy groans, and cease thy rantings,
Check thy sobs, and turn thine ear,
Hearken to the words OF wisdom,
Thou, and thou alone must hear.
If the man of dark devices
Dare assail my fame at home,
Where the Tigers doleful wallings
Sound from Brooklyn unto Rome,
Seek my honchmen, say it's certain
That my pride Is hard to KILL
And I'm glad they sheathed their weapons
In the frame of David Hill.
Though my wan and scattered legions
Broke and ran in panic fear,
Though from all the coasts and regions
Comes no note of Joy or cheer;
Though my staunchest vuest soldiers
From the foeman break and swerVe,
l must perish, a Colossus,
Clad in my supremest nerve.
As for thee, star-eyed Free Trader,
Glorious sorcerer of the blind,
Smooth my pathway to oblivion
With the coinage of thy mind.
Give our rivals power and prestige
Over land, and sea, and shore,
! can scorn such vulgar trfumphs
While list thy learned lore.
am dying, Wilson, dying,
They have got me on the run,
Congressman are falling from me
Like the dew before the sun.
Where are now my English brethren?
Where is Johnson? Holman? tell
Wrap the curtains gently round me,
Free Trade, England, Mills, farewell.

trolley system using part of their street
shall be permitted to depend from un-
slightly poles and guys or be properly
buried in street conduit, as such wires
are now buried, with entire success, in
a number of western cities.
But, more important, even, than this
is the question whether state or local
legislation shall regulate the running of
trolley cars, the keeping of schedules,
the seating of passengers and other de-
tails essential to the safety and COM
fort of the people. If this duty is to be
entrusted to municipal councils in the
case of purely local street railway sys-
TENS there ought also to be stringent
state laws to govern inter-urban travel.
And general law calling for the for
feiture of charters after certain num-
Der of proved violations would be an eff
fective supplement, The promiscuous
packing together of men, women and
children in the trolley cars of any large
city, notably our own, during the time
of busiest travel has reached the pro-
portions of an intolerable nuisance
which cannot be too quickly corrected.
A mo seat, no fare" law is in order;
also a law requiring every car to be
limited to q certain maximum number
Of passengers, with provision for eX-
ira cars for every fraction over this
limit, under penalty of heavy fine or
forfeiture of charter.
The present farcial laXity in the regu-
lation of street railway travel will not
long be endured. The people are be-
coming too conscious of their own
rights and of their own power.

The inhabitants of New York state

strong a disposition today as there was
one week ago to give the silver pro-
ducers of the west fair and reason
able chance; provided this can be done
without hurt to other equally import
ant interests. The idea that the large
plurality of last Tuesday stamps every
thing west of the Mississippi as contra

missed before it gets much further dis
seminated
Protection and honest money is a
good slogan. We heartily accept It,.
But in using the first word of that shib-
boleth, let us not restrict its meaning
entirely to the iron mills and coal mines
of Pennsylvania. If 1t is good for these,
let us be manly enough to extend the
same protection to the silver mines of
Montana and Colorado. And as for
honest money, that money will be most
honest which shall give to every section
fair and reasonable diffusion of pros
perity, yet not seek to restrict the cur
rency of great people to the insuflic-
lent metallic basis of small creditor
class.

Chairman Reeder, of the Center county
Republican committee, attributes large
share of the credit for the unparalleled
victory in that county to the influence of
the Republican press, which was very
carefully circulated in Center, under the
campaign committees direction. The diff
ference between Center county Republi-
cans and those who controlled the Repub-
lican battle in LaclSawanna will be appar-
ent when 1t is said that the latter did not
circulate one extra paper. SO far as is
now known, Lackawanna county in this
respect stands absolutely unique among
the close counties in the state.

TO SECURE FIRST-CLASs TALENT
Trinity's Lecture and Concert Course 70
the Coming Season.

Trinity's Lecture and Concert Course for
the Coming Season.
The lecture committee of the faculty of
Trinity college have unanimously decided
to give another course of lectures and
concerts this season From the past eX
perience with the two courses already
given they are now enabled to choose
strictly tirst-class, professional talent and
possible effort to secure. Among the
lecturers and concert companies under
consideration are George Z Vending,
Leland T Powers, Robert Taylor, George
Kennan, John Temple Graves, James r
Hedley, the Remenyi Concert company,
the Lotus Glee club, the Harvard Quartet,
the Swedish Quartet and the John
Thomas Concert company: Many Of
these lecturers are now filling engage
ments in northern cities at 5000 per
night, The committee are going to place
on sale at once season tickets, with and
without reserved seats, at exceptionally
low rates.
The object Of the course is not to make
money, but to give Durham and the
Trinity students the pleasures and bene-
| fits to be derived from a high grade
course. The whole series last year did
| not pay profit of per cent. The season
tickets this year will be So each, without
a reserved seat, and So with a reserved
seat The course will consist Of two
concerts and four lectures At the price
the season tickets are now selling, one
can attend the six entertainments at q
price 80 per cent lower than can be OBJ
tanned in many large cities.
We hope that the committee will moi
have the slightest difficulty in selling the
required number of season tickets, and
that the Trinity college course will regu
larly become one of Durham's permanent
and popular institutions.

was inclined to treat the matter lightly
but said that if ReubeSam insisted he
should have all the satisfaction he de-
sired. Mr.. ReubeSamen was excited
over the publication of the story. and
he said that Stcphes had not acted in
good faith in letting the facts become
known. Both men served in the Ger
