Debs.

Does he own the earth,
Or merely the
United States OF America?
If he does,
Where in thunder did he get il at?
And how?
If he is running the
Government,
What does he want to side track il for?
Why does he desire to blow
The cylinder head out of the Constitu.
ton
And bust a cog in the bylaws2
Did he ever hear of the
Declaration of Independence,
/ wonder,
And that all men are born
With some sort OF rights
That others ought to respect
To some slight extent?
Would he pull the tail feathers out OF
The American Eagle il it dared to
squawk
Against the A. r IT,?
He would.
Or slug Uncle Sam if he rode in
Pullman?
You bet.
What are we here for?
To submit to Debs,
Or to submit to Law?
If eternal vigilance is HE
Price OF liberty,
What's the price of D bsism?
And how much of it do we get?
II we are nation,
We must be an abomination
In the Debsisiio eye, and we ought to
be ditched.
Amt that SO?
Does he give damn for
The Union
So long as his little
Picayunion
Comes out on top?
Why doesn't he take q tumble TO him
self.
And give the rest OF the county
A chance for its white alleyf
What has this great and glorious
Republic Of ours
Ever done to himY
Is it Pullman or
Patriotism
Which actuates him?
Is he what our forefathers
Fought, bled and died to Establishs
Or is he Debs,
Merely Debs?-Neao York Sun.

The action of the Mississippi
Legislature in authorizing the issue
of 100000 Treasury notes is likely
to cause a row. Chief Hazen, of
the United States Secret Service
has demanded the surrender OF all

the assumption that they too closely

IT seems to come natural to some
people to misunderstood things.
A case in point was the unanimity
of certain labor leaders in announc-
ing after a recent interview with
the President that Mr.. Cleveland
had agreed to appoint commission
to arbitrate the dispute which
brought about the late disastrous
and costly-to all concerned, and
to many not directly concerned
railroad strike. 1t is not flat
tering to the intellect of the be.
fore mentioned labor leader:
il this misunderstanding was moi
intentional The law under which
President Cleveland agreed to APP
point two commissioners to act with
the United States Commissioner Of
Labor in making an investigation
does not give him authority to APP
point arbitrators, except under con.
ditions not existing in this case, ant
the commission to be appointed
|
will only have authority to invest
gate the strike which occurred
upon interstate railways. 1t car
not investigate the strike at tn,
Pullman car works any more thar
it could investigate strike of tn,
farm hands of John Smith. Presi
dent Cleveland will appoint thi
commission because he wishes t.
secure authentic information to b.
used as a basis for recommends
tons he intends to make on the sub
| ject in his next annual message t.
Congress, He recognizes it as
subject that needs national legisla
ton, not in the interest of the cor
porations, nor of the labor organi
cations, but of the whole country
which is incommoded ana in thu
end has to pay the bills for the pc
riodical strikes.

dedicated to Jerome X Jerome,)
He had fits of epistaxls
And the weakest Of thoraxes
Ever since he had the measles aud the mumps;
He was mad for weeks with rabies
And had seven years OF scahies
And dyspepsia kept him always In tho dumps.
Weak sys had he from iritIs,
Back likewise from meningitis,
And the latter scarcely left him any spine;
All the tumors from fibroma

He had grown as thick as hops upon a vine.
Chronic case he had OF ptosis
And symptoms OF tuberculosis,
And the action OF his heart was ont Of rhythm;
He had numerous neuroses,

And from birth he'd never been free from rheu-

Utah.

The President has signed the bill
admitting the Territory Of Utah into
the sisterhood of states, and when the
people OF the Territory have properly
qualified for Statehood there will be
forty. We States in the Union. By the
census OF 1890 Utah has a total popula-
ton OF 207,905. This is not a large
body of people compared with the
older States, but it is a larger popula-
ton than can be claimed by several
OF the more recently admitted States.
The State of Nevada, which should
not yet be a State, had a population in
1890 OF only 1921, and has lost part
of that since. The blot of poly gamyi
which has been an obstacle In the way
OF the admission OF Utah, has been
nearly eradicated. The resources Of
Utah are great and ried,--Nashville

 AS the prince left the house repeated cheers almost drowned the music. He smiled, waved his hand and swung his great slouch hat toward the crowd. At II o'clock messenger arrived with this dispatch dated Abszzls, April 1:
 "I send you my heartiest congrstuIa- tions. My aide de camp, Major von Molt- ke, is commissioned to hand you In my cuirsss. which Is designed 10 lie around your breast, may serve as a symbol of the German gratitude for your firm fidelity and which for my part desire to express most vividly. tSigned) Wilhelm" Mator yon Moltke arrived at 12.40 and presented Bismarck with the cuirsss.
