A CHANGE.

It was Just before election
In the old Green Mountain State,
was talking with farmer friend
Across his door-yard gate;
He had been a lifelong Democrat,
One of the bluest kind,
A man of set opinions,
Who always spoke his mind.
asked the farmer what he thought
OF our new tariff bill,
Well now, said he, rather think
Those fellows shot to kill,
I've voted with the Democrats
Nigh on to fifty year,
I've swallowed doses meny a time
Which tasted mighty queer.
I've been as blind as any bat,
Now look back and see
How prejudice has always made
A cussed fool Of me.
But I've got through bitin' Off
My nose to spite my face,
And now amt gropin' round
To try and find my place.
never was slavery man,
Or Northern copperhead,
My sons fit for the stars and stripes,
And now they both are dead,
And they was both Republicans;
1t used to make me mad
When they argyed l was wrong, and said
"You'll some time see it, dad"
But thank the Lord see it now,
Although see 1t late.
I'm goin' to vote your ticket boys
And shall vote it straight.
The Democrats have meyer done,
So far as can see,
A single thing but fight agin
The Northern States and me.
That cussed South has always led
Our party by the nose,
And if we had an aching corn
They trod upon our toes;
But this time they have gone too far,
They've killed the party dead,
Mechanics, farmers, all alike,
Are crying out for bread.
The country's gone to Davy Jones,
While they have got the pull,
There's one old saying come to pass,
Much cry and little wool;
They've said more things agin themselves
Than could ever say,
About the mean and dirty tricks
The party leaders play.
They've played into old England's hands,
They've fed the sugar trust,
They've torn the flag of freedom down
And trailed it in the dust;
/ feel as though I'd like to go
Somewhere and hide my face,
For have helped to bring upon
Our country this disgrace.
But for one, so help me God,
Wont cast another vote
To help such tarnel traitors try
To cut the Nations throat,
And then perhaps my boys will know
I've tined to right the wrong,
And be more pleased to welcome me
When l shall come along W.

The News OF the Day.

One of the most disastrous railroad
accidents that ever took place in the
neighborhood of New York City oc
CURED on the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad about $3.50
O'clock Monday morning, during a
thick fog on the meadows just west Of
the drawbridge across the Hackensack
river. The South Orange accommo-
dation ran into the Dover express, tel
escoping and smashing to pieces the two
rear cars of the latter train, killing II
persons and injuring about so others.
A terrible epidemic Of the grip is
reported from Pittsburg and Stewards
town, N. H. Nearly the whole
adult population of both places is
prostrated with the disease, and eight
deaths have occurred within few
days. Thirty men are sick in their
camps at Perry and Indian Streams,
and four deaths have already occur
red there.
1t is said the police of Chicago have
stenographic notes of arecent meeting
of anarchists, in which the speakers
said that now was the time for the
unemployed to assert themselves, and
that the application of the torch was
justifiable if their demands are not
complied with. The police kept the
matter secra. at the time and would
still have withheld it from the public
had not the men suspected of sympa-
thy with anarchy planned an invasion
of the city hall. The resolutions were
adopted with an invitation to all the
unemployed Of the city to act as an
escort to the committee appointed to
deliver the resolutions to the City
Council on Monday. The plan leaked
out, however, and was nipped in the
bud by the police.
The negroes in Arkansas, have
contracted the emigration fever again,
and there is an exodus of black men
to Africa. A dispatch from Mari
anna, Ark, says all the negroes of
that neighborhood are sacrificing what
little they have with the intention of
going to the dark continent. One
ear load has passed through Brinkley
IN route for New York, from whence
,hey intend to sail for their ultimate
destination. 1t seems as if the
scheme had been worked up by negro
agents who have been caavassing the
section for some time, for what pur-
pose or in whose interest is not
known. Many of the negroes owned
small places with stock, and they
we're, comparatively speaking, in
good circumstances, but they have
sacrificed all for few dollars to pay
heir way to New York.

Governor Greenhalge, of Massachu-
Sets, in his inaugural message re-
commended municipal suffrage for wo-
men, as follows:
The expediency and justice of ex-
tending to woman the right of municipal
suffrage has been brought to the atten-
ton of previous Legislatures. The
tendency of modern thought and mod
ern civilization points strongly in the
direction of this extension. The SER
vices of woman in various public de-
partments are now acknowledged TO be
of the greatest benefit and efficiency.
Upon school boards and in the admins
tration of our pnblic charities there can
be no doubt that a higher developement
and rapid advance in methods of
management and treatment have been
accomplished; and, furthermore, the
participation of woman in the sterner
business of life in almost every line of
Occupation and work has been al
most constantly increasing. Her per-
tformance of labors which tradition and
convention have assigned to men would
seem to indicate her capacity for sharing
in the most important business of the
individual and of the community, viz,
the condnct of public affairs, and also
to demonstrate the benefits derivable
from such participation, and might seem
to justify the further step of granting tc
her the right of municipal suffrage,
therefore commend this subject to your
most serious consideration.
