Little Boy Blue.

A little toy dog, all covered withsdust,
But sturdy and staunch he Stands,
And little toy soldier, all red with rust;
And his musket moulds In his hands.
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier passing fair.
And that was the time when our Little Boy
Blue :
Kissed them and put them there.
Now, don't you so till come. he said,
And don't you make any noise"
So toddling on to his trundle bed.
He dIeamt of his pretty toys
And as he was dreaming an angel song
Awakened our Little Boy Blue
Oh, the years are many, and the years are
long,
But the little toy friends are true.
Aye, faithful to Little Boy Blue they stand.
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch OF the little hand,
And the smile Of little FACE
And they wonder, as waiting the long years
through,
In the dust Of the little chair,
What has become OF our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

What Coin" Means.

From the Philadelphia Record (DemD.
The cheap money mongers attach much inn
portance to the word coin" in Secretary Car
isles prefer of the $4,000. 600 loan They
pretend that this phrase would give the gov
eminent the option OF redeeming the loan in
gold or silver. How often must this old
straw be thrashed over again? Hundreds Of
millions OF tondS redeemable in coin have
been sold for gold, and have been paid, prln-
cipal and interest, in gold. The cheap money
champions have reversed the principle over
which they are contending When bonds are
sold for gold the option whether payment
shall e made in gold or silver Is with the
public creditor, not with the government. If
a Secretary of the Treasury should impose
silver upon the public creditor against his
will the pledge Of the law Of congress to

Thev Kent Their Pledre.

Whatever may be said against prize
fighting and much can be said against it
and nothing in its favor-it must be ad-
mitted that the Duval Athletic Club
acted squarely in the Corbett-Mitchell
affair They said the contest would take
place, and it did. They were not alarmed
by the bold attitude assumed by Gov.
Mitchell, nor were they awed by the pres
ence of troops. They evidently believed
they were within the pale of the law,
and acting on that belief, they spoke con-
fidently tothe public
While Gov. Mitchell is to be commended
for his opposition to the contest, it does
not now appear that he acted with much
Judgment, unless he was satisfied the law
Of Florida permits prize fights like that
of Corbett and Mitchell, and hoped to
prevent it by an aggressive stand against
the contest and show of force. On this
ground only can he be excused for putting
the state to the expense of ordering troops
to Jacksonville.
1t is to be presumed he examined the
law carefully before ordering out the
troops, and had made up his mind as to
the course he would pursue in the event
an injunction was granted by the Judge
of the circuit court, prohibiting the
sheriff of Duval county from interfering
with the fight The inference from his
subsequent action is that he decided to do
nothing if an injunction was granted
That being the case, would he not have
actedwith greater wisdom if he had per
mitted the matter to be decided by the
courts several days ago, when COrbett
and Mitchell were brought before the
court by the Duval Club for that purpose?
The calling out of the troops would then
have been rendered unnecessary.
1t is difficult to see what is TO be gained
by the arrest of Corbett and Mitchell
unless some means can be found for hay
ing them tried before some other judge
than Judge Call. He mas virtually said
they are guilty of no offense and probably
would so instruct jury impanelled to try
them
The governor has got a good deal of
notoriety out of the affair. but it cannot
be said ne has won any glory,
Georgias governor, who called out
troops at several different points, to pre-
vent the fight taking place on Georgia soil,
although there is no satisfactory evil
dence, as far as the public knows, that
there ever was an intention to have the
fight in Georgia. and who left the state
capital and established his headquarters
in Waycross in order to direct operations
against the enemy, will be given credit
for more zeal than judgment.

In less than two months from the assem-
bling of the first regular session of congress
after the people had Entrusted power to the
Democratic party the House Of Representa-
tives has put wool and sugar and coal on the
free list and reduced the duty on steel rails
to a nominal figure, while iron VIII probably
have been made free tefore these lines are

is going bravely on. The trusts are being
smashed by the club OF tariff reform welded
by the democratic House, and a brighter day
is dawning for the people.

The postmasters of the ten largest cities
inithe country are considering the propriety
of asking congress to put their offices in
a class by themselves and appropriate
money for them direct. The postmasters
think if they were given local power re-
garding money to be expended for the
offices, as well as being held responsible
for money locally expended, the service
would be greatly benefited.

The negro emigration society, that was
recently incorporated inAlabama, to send
southern blacks to Liberia, will appeal to
congress for an appropriation to assist it
in its work The scheme should find
champion in Senator Butler, who believes
the solution of the race problem" to be
deportation. At the same time, it is well
enough that all parties concerned should
be reminded that the government has no
money for experiments; a bond issue
has been found necessary to meet legiti-
mate demands.

The doctors of San Francisco are
puzzled. On Christmas day Emil Klaus
suffered fracture of the skull. A part
of his brain was lost. BY an extraordinary
operation the skull was patched and the
wound is now healed. Klaus is in good
health, but he appears to have no control
whatever Of his words. He may think
straight and write straight, but he cannot
talk straight. He should join the popu-
lists.

South Cardinals misfortunes should
prove of benefit to the other states. Her
present unhappy political condition is
pointed warning to the other states to
steer clear Of the socialistic demagogues
who preach liberty on the stump and
practice tyranny when they have been
elected to Office. If the shaping of the
face Of woman in Charleston who had
the courage to protest against the sack
ing Of her house by number of whisky
spies does not arouse such a wave of in
dignation in South Carolina as will. at
the next election, sweep Tillman and his
faction into oblivion, the rest of the
country will conclude that the South
Carolinians deserve no better than they
are getting. The objects sought by the
dlspensary law may be good, out certain
provisions of the law, and the way they
are being carried out, are simply in
famous. South Carolina sowed the wind ::
she is reaping the whirlwind. However,
as we observed before, the other states
should profit by the object lesson she is
furnishing

Secretary Gresham has plain, blunt
way of exploding sensations that is truly
refreshing. When appealed to for con-
frmation of the story that our Admiral
Benham would arbitrate between De
Cana and Peixoto and endeavor to settle
the Brazilian affair, he replied: 81 have
heard nothing about it, and l don't be-
lieve it." One can hardly help contrast
ing the present secretary's "style" with
that affected by President Harrison's
first premier. When Mr.. Blaine used to
be asked for information regarding state
affairs he would smile, shake his head

A case of peculiar interest, from the
fact that it was very picayunish and in
volved well known man, has been set
tied by Boston court. Mr.. Edward At
kinson, the writer on economic subjects,
tore coupons out Of a ticket book over the
Boston and Albany road and rendered
them to conductor. The conductor re
fused them, on the ground that they were
by the rules of the company, invalid if
detached by any person except the con-
ductor receiving them. A suit at law fol-
lowed. The court held that the conductor
was right and ordered Mr.. Atkinson to
pay the claim and the costs. The claim
was 50 cents and the costs 81 10.

KEY VESTS DEADLY KEYS.
The Number of Seamen Lost on Them
Last Month May Never Be Known.

Key West, Fla, Oct. 5-Nearly every
day fresh Information reaches here from
the Keys surrounding this place relative
to the loss Of life in the recent hurricane.
Mr.. Pinder, who resides on east Mata-
cumbia Key. was here to-day He
says that on the morning of Sept 90 two
sailors drifted ashore with life preserv-
ers from the British bark Brandon of
quebec, from Ship Island, Pascagoula.
which ran ashore on Crocus reef at 10 o.
which ran ashore on Crorus reef al 10 o.
clock on the night of Sept %, and after
pounding over the reef, got into the chan
mel and capsized. Another of the crew
came ashore the same night There were
seventeen in all on board and these are
the only three that have been heard of
along the shore.
The captain, William BEDFORD, had one
leg broken by a sea as soon as the ship
struck the reef, and a Norwegian sailor
had both legs crushed-a sea knocking
him down by the pumps and throwing a
piece of timber across both of his legs.
and while two of his shipmates were try
ing to relieve him another sea lifted the
timber so as they could draw him out:
they then fastened a life preserver on
him. These surviving ones think that he.
the captain, mate, steward and another of
the crew were drowned as they We're all
IN the cabin when the ship turned bottom
up. Inc shore is full of pieces of her
cabin, forecastle and houses, and three of
her boats all smashed to pieces. Some
few pieces of hewn timber from her deck
are on shore. The names of the survivins
ones of the British bark Brandon are
John T. Warren, Woolwich, England:
William Spoforth and Lennart Lax, Fin
land, Russia.
The Norwegian ship Theora was lost
of Turtle Harbor, but fortunately. all
hands were saved. w. ]. H. TAYLOR. the
English, Swedish and French vice con

every manner after their comfort.
On Sept. Is, Messrs. Sam Williams and

drowned man on the outside of Tavanear
Key. After informing some nelghbors of
the circumstances they repaired to a
place near where the body lay and pre-
pared a grave above the hurricane tide
and laid to rest a stranger to all present.
The body was much swollen and discol-
ored, having nothing upon it which wouId
lead to identification.
