The WATER LILY.
In the Shiny bed of sluggish nero
IfS root Ind bu,nbln hirtk

In the Shiny bed of sluggish nero
Its root had humble birth,
And the slender stem that upward grew
Was coarse of fiber, dull OF hue,
With naught of grace or worth.
Tho goldfish that fioatcd near
Saw alone the vulgar stem.
The clumsy turtle padded by,
The water snake with lidlcss eye
1t was only r weed to them.
The butterfly and the honeybce,
Tho sun and sky and air,
They marked its heart of virgin gold
In the satin leaves OF spotless fold
And its odor rich and rare.
So tho fragrant soul in its purity,
To sordid life tied down,
May bloom TO heaven and no man know.
Seeing the coarse, vic stem below,
How God hath seen tho crown.

Not a Pleasant Record.

After reviewing some of the sins OF
omission of which the democrats have
been guilty during their first year OF
government control, the San francisco
Argonaut goes on to say:
Let us now turn to their preform-
ances and not their promises. Here
the list is long.
Since the 4th of March the demo
Gratis have repealed the federal cleo.
tion laws. thereby putting premium
on ballot box stutiing and false and
fraudulent election returns.
Since the 4th of Mare .hey have,
through their free trade panic, thrown
the Reading, the Erie, the Northern
Pacific, the Saute Fe and 90 other rail
way systems into the hands of re.
ceivers.
Since the 4th of March they have
forced sos banks to close their doors.
Since the 4th of March they have
caused 800 manufactures to shut
down.
Since the 4th of March they have
forced 1874 mercantile houses into
bankruptcy.
Since the 4th of March they have
thrown over a million workingmen in
to idleness, beggary and crime.
This, then, is the record of the
democratic party, the party of IRE.
form, since March 4, 1898. This is
their record of disaster for one of their
four years. What will they do in the
remaining three.
