PosY RINGS.

When posies inside wedding rings were
first introduced does not seem to be
known. Time has covered that. as he
does so many other things, with the
of oblivion; but we know that
from the sixteenth century until the mid
die of the eighteenth it was customary
to have them engraved on rings. These
posies or notices are seldom to be found
with more than two lines of verse, and
often with only one, but there are a few
Instances known where three line are
used. Some of these posies are very
quaint and curious, and a few reach a
high standard of poetic beauty.
In 1912 a small collection of rhymes
was published with the title of Loves
Garland. or Posies for Rings, Handker-
chiefs n Gloves and such Pretty To-
xens That Lovers Send Their Loves"
contains some posies that are not to
be met with elsewhere, and is a very
interesting work, though but few people

about Lady Cathcart and her fourth

Last Nights Democratic 'Turn Ont.

Last Nights Democratic Eurn Uut.
Last night was a red letter night for
the downtown Democracy. The voters
were out in force at Woods Hall and
St. MichaePs Hall. and there were speak
ers on hand to address them. who were
worthy of the occasion. The demonstra-
ton at Woods Hall was one of the
most remarkable ever seen in this city.
Men who have attended hundreds of
such gatherings in the last twenty years
sentative audience.
There were more of the silk stock
ing" element of the community present
than attended John ". Griggs' mass
meeting at Bergen Hall. At the same
time there were hundreds who came
from the mechanics bench. right in their
working clothes. There were lawyers
there. and doctors. Newark avenue
merchants iostled against their own sales
men. and manufacturers were shoulder
to shoulder with their workmen. AS Mr..
Grouse said. in closing the meeting. it
was a wonderful body for missionary
purposes. as it reached out into every
class. every section. every interest.
Judge Garretson's speech urging every
voter to do his duty on Election Day
struck an important note. 1t is one of
the points thai every speaker should
.,u-o Euo-a ,1-, ,,.+g1 -1oot;0o 1ax, Tho
registry figures show that Just wenty-
five per cent. of the voters of this
county are already -disfranchised by the
criminal Republican conspiracy. The en-
rolknept is only 81 1889. whereas it was
a. 9sT last year. The registry this year
is only 15s in excess of the total vote
every registered voter to east a ballot
on Election Day. so that the people may
be represented to the largest extent
row possible at the polls.
R. ". Lindabury made a really splen-
did address. He got down to the funda-
mental issue of the campaign when he
argued thai this was a campaign of
principle. The contest is one of parties.
The question of good government is not
an issue. for with Alexander T. McGil
as Governor. bad government is i'm
possible. But the Republicans want TO
get their grip on this State to further
the interests of their party in the Presi-
Dental contest next year. That is their
afm-their only aim. The question for
voters is: Do they want that?
Mr.. Lindabury exposed the sham and
hypocrisy of Griggs and the whole party
on the Race Track issue. He handled
the topic with great skill, saying nothing
to offend any shade of opinion. extenu-
ating nothing that was evil. but holding
up The Republican record to scorn and
derision.
The meeting was altogether a splendid
one. and does high honor to the Hudson
Democratic Society which managed it.

The Republican Convention and
Platform.

With Samuel D. Dickinson ruling the
Republican Convention with an iron
hand as to its choice of nominees, that
body absurdly adopted yesterday an
equal taxation plank in its platform.
It shows how cheap are principles, how
unmeaning are pledges in the eyes of a
Republican leader. So long as the cor
porations own the leaders and the lead
ers can force their men on conventions,
what matter what empty formula of
theoretical virtue may be adopted to trick
and deceive the people.
With Griggs in the G~ubernatorial chair,
with the Hoffman-Stokes crowd in con-
troll of the Senate and with a rang like
thai nominated in Kessler's Hall yester-
day in the Assembly, what need any
railroad fear from platforms and resolu-
lions about equal taxation, low ferry
fares or cheap gas. These same things
were promised to the people of Hudson
county last November and the Novem-
Der before that. Republican conventions
have resoluted about them time and
again. But what effort was made in the
last two years of Republican control to
realize any of these pledges?
Such cant and hypocrisy are simply

No Interference While John Bull Does
Not Attempt - Land Grab.
From the best information obtainable
it seems almost certain that the admins
tration will not attempt any interference
with the dispute as long as Great Britain
confines itself to the collection of the in.
demnity. The United States have main
tained in the past that European powers
could, in their international dealings with
South and Central American countries,
conduct their disputes in their own way
AS long as they did not seek to overthrow
existing governments, set up monarchies
or protectorates, or acquire territory.
II the occupancy of Corinto fails in its
object and Great B,itain should declare
war on Nicaragua, il IS said that the ad-
ministration would still decline to inter-
ierc so long as the war was carried on
not for the aggrandiZement of Great Brit.
ain or the acquisition Of territory, but for
the sole purpose of collecting the in
demnity. II is pointed out that for the
United States to interpose to prevent
England from carrying out the present
method of collecting the debt would be
equivalent to declaring q virtual rrotec-
torate over Nicaragua, anu would keep
us involved in endless broilS with Euro
rean powers.
1t would give these states the privilege
OK resisting just claims of other countr .es
and taking refuge behind the skirts of
tho United States. In other words, all
diplomatic correspondence relative &c
these states would practically be carried
on through Washington. Besides, 1t
would greatly cnbarrass this government
in the enforcement of its owa claims
against these countries. 1t is confidently
believed that rather than suffer the seiz-
urc of other ports or bombardment, Mic.
aragua will comply and pay the indem
nifty.
There is some difference of opinion here
as to whether the declaration of Nicar-
entry will te recognized. 1t is plainly
within the power of any country TO close

Dam Constr uctsd ON What Looked Like q
Perfect Design.

Perfect Design.
The construction of the dyke, or dam
was commenced in 1879 and finished in
1881. In 1sS9 it was greatly strengthened.
1t was heavy masonry JjJ yards long, g
feet high and 66 feet thick at the base
The masonry was carried into the ground
to a depth Of thirty feet below the level OF
the valley into which the reservoir dis
charged its water. Ii was buiit against a
vertical face of solid rock having n max
imum height of eighteen feet. The bass
rested on a sandstone bottom of natural
formation.
The massive construction of the dam
was considered to be a guarantee that il
would hold back any weight of water tina,
could be brought against it. Until the
strengthening of the work in 1889 il wa,
not subjected to the full pressure of tht
water which it was built to hold. The
distress among the homeless dwellers of
the valley is very great and in many cases
they appear to be mentally benumbed by
the calamity that has fallen on them.
The Aviere, a small stream, is now in
some places n mile and a hall wide The
railway in the vicinity of the Darnieulles
station was torn up. Railroad ties were
swept away and the embankments de
stroyed. Nearly every bridge in the line
of the flocd was either destroyed or badly

But by continued delay matters were

ROCKFORD, Ills, April :9.-Sheriff Oh
liver went to the ''heavcn" south of this
city with capias for the arrest of George
Jacob Schweinturth, indicted by the
grand jury for living in open adultery
with inmates of the place. The bogus
messiah did not come out of the house for
an hour after the arrival of the officers,
but finally accepted service without re-
sistance. The sheriff also had an execu.
ton to levy on his personal property on
account of George w. Coudrcy's s5oOtO
Judgment, obtained in Chicago, but every
uoor and window was kept closely locked
and guarded and he was unable to get in
to make the levy.
Schweinfurth was under arrest and in
custody OF the sheriff in Rockford six
hours. but finally furnished bail In the
amount Of S3UO1 the bond being signed
by the Wcldons, owners of the 600-acre

1t turns out that Admiral Stephenson,

That the reply was an absolute refused to

from London says that Ambassador
Bayard, acting under instructions from

two weeks additional time from the ex-
piration OF the three days fixed in the

demand for the payment of elo,oO0
indemnity for the expulsion Of Pro-Con-

this, and as it was presumed that the
