Children who read my lay,

Rlgnt things in great and small;
Then, though the sky should fall,
Sun, moon, and stars, and all.

Be you tempted as you may,
Each day, and every day,
Speak what is true
True things in great and small;
Then, though the sky should fa..,
Sun, moon, and stars and ALL
Heaven would show through
Figs, as you see and know,
DO not of thisties grow;
And, though the blossoms blow
White on the tree,
Grapes never, never yet
on the limbs of thorns were set,
So, If you rood would get,
Good you mct be.
LAfe's journey through and through,
Speaking what is just and true,
Doing what is right to DO
Unto one and all.
When you work and when you play,
Each day, and every day,
Then peace shall gild your way,
Though the sky should fall.

The Democrats of the house OF repre-

tuted another bill for II, which. under
the lead OF Mr.. German. the Democratic
manager OF that body, changed the WI

THE TWO PARTIES.

Mr.. Eugene V. Debs has sought relief
from the monotony Of prison life by
writing a letter to a Populist convention,
In which he denounces the Republican
and Democratic parties with equal vlru-
lence, and declares they are "both con-
trolled by the money power, and both
debauched by its influence" This simply
means that neither of them have seen fl
to ind0rse the doctrines or encourage the
purposes of men like Debs. They have
their fundamental and irreconcilable dlt-
ferences, but they are not divided upon
the question Of opposing all Violent and
destructive processes for the solution of
the labor problem. Republicans and Dem,
ocrats alike believe In law and order, ana
do not consider 1t either necessary or ex-
pedient to organize mObs and tie up rail-
roads in order to secure just and fair
treatment for employees by employers.
Mr.. Debs calls this being controlled and
debauched by the familiar specter, the
money power; but to people who do not
have to go to jail ON account of their
point of view, 1t has another and a much
more reasonable meaning. 1t signifies TO
them decent regard for recognition
rights for established authority, and for
the interests of public sympathy and
prosperity.
1t is to the credit of these two great
parties that they can not be used for the
promotion OF ideas and projects which
antagonize tho institutions of society ana
tend to introduce arbitrary and des-
perate methods for the settlement OF
ordinary controversies. They do not agree
about general principles and policies OF
government, but they do agree about
the matter Of obedience to law and pro-
lection TO life and property. Whenever
party Is needed to give sympathy and
assistance to a scheme Of reform which
Ignores the duties of good citizenship,
1t has to be created for the occasion. Tho
two permanent and formidable parties in
our politics can not be persuaded or III
timidated to give support to such an
undertaking. They are composed gem
orally speaking, of men who have the
welfare OF the country at heart, and who
are against all proposed assaults upon
the agencies by which peace is maintained
and rights are preserved. Thrd parties
come into being from time 20 time be-
cause the two existing parties will not
consent to depart from the line of fidelity
to obligations of patriotism. The cranks
and fanatics find that they must have.
organizations OF their own. But the great
majority of the people, representing the
sober intelligence ard honesty of the
country, have no difficulty in getting
along with the two regular parties be-
tween which their votes are divided
