BY MRS. A. A. WALKER. :
.on.( W Writ En- for for t.. the RsP%rssentative.)
Pleaded sister Eloise,
I hear there are in the collection -.
Some paintings not shown BEFORE"
| N men fbe ie5 me tn,l Of va a picture 2 m :
With the head n breast of q Titan ~
And a face you would stop to scan. II
A face that had once been handsome,
But barbaric and sullen now,
With a light In the eye that is wrathful.
And q threatening scowl on the brow.
To find out the artists meaning
Was wat l resolved to do there, "
So l wished to study the picture. -,
While Eloise went up the stair. 10y
In a murky city tenement, -
Where the SUMS rays never come. q y
And a woman. In the background, ~
Was standing beside a bed -
With q little child upon 1t,
But the little child was dead.
And that mother! o. God, what expressieaI
iva the face Of an outraged queen;
I could hear her sobs, that were fearless.
And the words that came between;
She ie dead! she Is dead, my darling!
And they will snatch her from me,
AS II she had died of contagion, ~
But she died Of poverty. :
- / SOoAu A0V0 leu IlCI OVEE
Were the daises and butercups blow.
She would have grown strong and rosy
As she was one year ago.
But here, in the Sitting city,
Shut away from the earth and the eky.
Just for want of q little money
We had to let her die. ,
The wife of her fathers employer
Pays more for some fad that y new,
Than three of us had to live OH.
The whole Of the twelve months through
A curse upon hat woman's children!
May pestilence, canker and blight
Pursue them till she. too, is childless.
And feels as 1 do tonight"
When I turned away. from the canvass
I felt as II under a bah,
And I heard q woman saying, =
oh, my. what a beast of q man" :
But this picture had a companion.
For the artist inspired can see, :
From his mount of vision. the evil
And what is the remedy.
So in the companion picture
Was the same man and yet not the samos
For he sat at the door Of a cottage,
Whose rental no landlord could claim.
The face once more 10 handsome,
Refined and contented now.
With a light in the eye that is pleasant,
And serenely-untronled brow.
The green lawn closely shaven,
Where the fearless robins run,
Tells how the man spends his leisure.
When the city work is done.
And back is a thrifty garden.
Where flowers and edibles grow,
And in hooks and odd little corners,
The roses of summer blow.
Within the house is a woman.
AS blithe as a butterfly, ~.
I can hear her sweet voice singinA ~ =
To her darling a lullaby.
As I turn away from this picture,
No longer under q BAN
I hear a woman saying.
"Oh, my, What a low Of . MANI
I would rather have painted those pictures
Than to be any millionaire,
Or warrior, or poet, or statesman,
With q name honored everywhere.
In the first one the horror Of living,
When robbed and defrauded IL shown,
In the other the blissful contentment,
When 'labor shall lave it's own

THE PLATFORM NARROWER.

(For the Nonconformist)
Columbia is havin' trouble
With her children long about now
In q reg'lar family row.
The little girl, Peoples Party.
Which Is called ! P1pulista for short:
Through evil and good report.
The kids have little platforms
Made of boards all nailed together,
Which they use for RATS on Political Lake
In all descriptions of weather.
Populista'S platforms a beauty,
The boards are all clean and new
And over 1t swings a canopy
Made Of red, white and blue.
Demmie's and Replies platforms
Are made of old warped planks
Canopied over with mortgages =
And securities to banks
And they see the American people
Burdened with debt and grief
Gettin'- aboard Populista's raft
In the hope of gainin' relief.
Now these boys. Demmie and ReppiA.
Are a pair Of as KNOWN scamps
AS ever hoodood the people
Or pocketed Uncle Sans stamps.
And they've been promptin' some fellerD
To coax POpulista round
To narrow her raft to a single plank
And run all the others aground.
They hint that If she does this
She'll beat them in the race,
But the secret scheme they're workin'
Is q dastardly disgrace.
For when that platforms narrowed
To a single measly board =
Demmie IL hitch 1t onto his raft
And then Populista IL be floored.
Now If little Populista
Is a KNOWN, sensible girl.
She'll shake these platform narrowers
Till their heads are all awhirl. i
Her good craft is the only hope !
That is left the sons of toll
To carry them out of misery's sea i
Onto good substantial soil.
The only repair that craft needs #;
Is to strengthen it's underpinnin'
SO it'll hold together tight
And stand the strain of winnfn'; J
Take some Of the resolution stun
That is nailed along its side
And strengthen the platform underneath
Till it's solid as well as wide.
The resolution stuff 1 mean !
Is two boards spiked together !
Referendum and Initiative <. i
Just make these into stringers ~ /
And nail the planks fast to EN- -
With spikes Of harmony and grit
90 that nothin' can undo 'em. !
Founded on these two stringers :"
And wide enough to hold
All the sufferin', burdened people.
Who shrink meath the tyrant Gold,
That platforms sure to carry
Columbia's fortunes through
And make life worth the Twin
TO folks like me and you.

telligent manner.
The first thing to be done is to stop
issuing new charters and renewing old
ones. Then by a systematic process to
wind them up as fast as possible without
throwing the social system into too great
disorder. The latter undertaking will be
a difficult one in view of the important
social functions which corporations 10Y
perform. To many the task appears so
huge as to be impossible, while the belief
is quite generally accepted, that our high
ly-developed stage Of civilization cannot
exist without them. This belief, how
ever, Is more the result OF hasty and ILL
founded conclusions than of minute and
searching,analysis. That corporations do
functions goes without saying; but, that
these same functions annot be performed
without the agency Of corporations is by
no means so certain and Is properly a sub
iect for sober thought. In the first place
there aresonly comparatively few lines OF
business, the nature of which renders az
gregated capital necessary to carry them
on. These few lines are the only enes
that we need concern ourselves about.
The question with regard to them is
whether. private corporations are the only
aggregations competent to preform them.
II. will no doubt be conceded that in the
matter of aggregated power to compel the
service Of both men and capital, no COM

1t is commended that the government is not

management is wanting, through the alb

II there's any man in the Republican
PARTY more deserving OF party honors
than another. that man is General Ag-
mud. publisher Of the Baltimore AnleTf-
eau. No single man in the State has
done more fer the success Of his party
than General Agnus. He is man Of
unswerving principles patriotism ana
devotion. but he would not forfeit one
jot or title Of either Of these to advance
a personal interest at the sacrifice OF
his party. At repeated and pressing
solicitations Of hisnumerous friends to
become candidate for L. ). Senator,
he has most emphatieally declined I'M
der the circumstances, aud III reply TO
a personal letter from an influential
member of Legislature urging bis Is
sent to become a candidate for Y. ).
Senator TO succeed the Hon. Chas. IL.
Gibson, the Democratic representative
from the Eastern Shore, he says edi-
torially in the american as follows:
SIN thanking these gentlemen for their
inquiries, and fully approaching the
compliment, the editor Of the Ameri-
can begs permission to say that be does
not anticipate any such contingency as
mentioned by them, nor will he be, even
remotely. party TO any movement, d.
rect or indirect, open OTsecret, that has
for its object the ignoring OF the Eas-
tern Shore law in the election OF sue
cessor TO Mr.. Gibson. 1t is 80 plainly
a matter of party faith, party honor and
party expediency, that no Republican
who has the good Of his party at heart
can, for moment, approyeof the reck-
less and suicidal designs Of men who
would let their own overlapping ambi-
tions turn great popular victory into
a personal use Of opportunity. The
Eastern shore law cOnnot be repealed
by this legislature, and il it is ignored it
will lose the state to the party next
wear and the year after. There are men
ON the Eastern Shore from whom an
able aud commendable senator can be
chosen, and it is the duty II the Re-
publicans to Obserye-at least, in this in
stance-the custom Of \ century. Ger
tainly, they should not begin their adj
ministration 10y ignoring one OF the
states oldest and best respected laws.
Two years from now there will be an
ether senator to be elected, and then
such an inquiry from the members from
Baltimore city will have a decidedly
practical interest. At present, it can

ment.
I'VE beg of these gentlemen to look to
the broadcast and highest interests of the
party, aud to stand against what would
be fatal error of politics and justice;
aud knowing them as We do, we he
lieve they will do their full duty.
