4 Very UnweIeome Immigrant.

Terrible stories are told of the Russian
thistle, for the determination of which the
government is asked by a North Dakota
senator to appropriate 100000. The
pest was taken to North Dakota in the
seed grain of some Muscovite immigrants,
and has spread within few years over the
Dakotas Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and
northern Wisconsin. 1t is a plant of as
tonishing vigor and fecundity, growing up
and outward rapidly 'to the size of sod
cabin, shading surrounding crops and
monopolizing the moisture and nutrition of
the soil, and then scattering its seeds far
and wide on every wind. So tough and
poisonous are its prickles that men and
animals are said to be compelled to wear
sheet-iron bootlegs in passing through the
thistle fields, and it is related that in ST.
IBERIA the plant has simply conquered large
stretches of land and driven agriculture
away from it. Heroic measures are de-
manded to cope with this scourge, says
Senator Hansbrough, and if all that is said
is true, such is the case.

PHGNIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1894.
Psalm of Protection.


From the Springfield Reporter
Tell us not We Golden minions,
Protection is an empty dream,
bird that scars on borrowed pinions,
A tadpole lost IN free-trade stream.
Your free trade stream requires no Daniel
To see tits damned; while many spots
Would indicate twill leave its channel
And flow hap hazard cross the lots.
You care not now that things remind us
The working man has little chance.
THAT passing weeks just leave behind us
Bigger patches on our pan s.
Patches that bespeak another
Stranded wreck on free-trade shores.
These voiceless mouths may warn some brother
To shun your clan forever more.
You promised work and better wages,
Free traders, thus you fooled us twice.
To idle millions now you sages
Say Live on soup and three. cent rice
Don't think us lost in vain repining
Though dusky clouds athwart us roll,
We see inscribed on silver lining
Your hobbed steed will miss the goal.
You call our protest but a whisper
To the roaring of the sea,
or the cadence Of a ves per
Mid the whirlwind raging free;
But pass your make-shift Wilson hmnder
Cast our petitions all aside,
Then hear a voice, this time of thunder,
Free trade humbug, thou ha st led
What next As David fair and slender
His haggart slew with pebble small.
Well smite your Congress in the tender
And have you in the soup next fall.
Then with Mckinley up and doing
While legions chant his modest lay,
still converting, still pursuing
Protection, you bet, will come to stay

.EIectioneering for a LICKING.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
Public opinion is overwhelmingly against
the attempt of the Democratic senators in
New Jersey to deprive the Republicans of
the just fruits of victory. The Democratic
bosses are evidently electioneering for a
licking and they will be sure to get it.
This is not good year for bossism, par
ticularly the Democratic brand. The race
track gamblers and the selfish politicians
brought the Democratic party to such dis
repute that the citizens turned that party
down hard, but its leaders appear to have
failed to profit by the lesson.
