NEW POEM BY EUGENE FIELD.
How He Rescued Miss Boyle From
Senator .Iones, Attentions.

~tilfibf AtttUlion~s
Gilbert a. Pierce sends TO the Chicago
Times-Herald a hitherto unpublished poem
OF Eugene Field. The circumstances of
it's composition are as fNpws. The unfor-
tunate Senator Jones, or Florida, whose
remarkable escapades were the talk Of the
country some ten or twelve years ago. and
who pursued a highly estimable young
lady to Detroit and annoyed her with his
attentions for several months was at
about the same time violently attached TO
a young lady I'm Washington City, who
happened TO he an intimate friend Of
Field IL was not known then las II after
ward proved that the senator's mind was
affected, and his attentions were a great
annoyance u the recipients.
The young lady IN question. desiring to
rid herself Of the senator's company. Field
told her To feign headache for a theater
engagement which she had with Jones.
and go with him (Field1 instead. The poet
humorist guaranteed to do all the rest,
which he accomplished most effectively.
The sequel Is best told In Mr.. Pierce's own
words:
Gaining her consent. Field came down
20 the hotel where / was staying. wrote
the Enclosed lines. and sent a copy to
Jones. He read the verses 20 me in high
glee. and went away to the theater in

scarcely believe the story I told him
about selling this old proof that had
gathered dust for nearly six years. but
he was immensely pleased, and spread
the money out on his bed TO surprise his
wife. whom he heard just then coming up

This little incident seemed 10 give him
the greatest happiness. and he Joked with

first speech on the tariff he ever made In

burden Of taxation should be on property:

property should pay a great deal Of the
tax; the man who had.a small amount OF
property should pay small part OF IL.
and the man who had no property should
pay none.

Political Neglect.

FROM THE CLOSE DEMOCRAT.
1t Is quite true, and the has deep
significance, as ex-President Harri-
son observes in Il recent magazine
article, that God has never en-
dowedany statesman or philosopher,
nor any body of them with wisdom
enough to frame system of gov

and serious necessity of watchful-
ness on the part of those who are

Iy under such Il system as ours.
The machinery is not so organized
that it can be relied upon to render
the desired service by virtue of its
own inherent power. 1t is only
what men make it who are intrusted
with the control and direction of it,
and what it is permitted to be by the
people. The idea of the delegation
of authority to chosen political
agents does not carry with it the
condition OF exemption for citizens
from duty and responsibility
They are still in honor bounc

SECRETARY LAMONT. of the War
Department thinks the army should
be increased from $4,000 to 10000
men. We hope Congress will not
listen to such suggestions. Since
Indian uprisings are practically
thing Of the past, we have but lit
tie Use for soldiery except for show
purposes and for that purpose an
army of $4,000 men is more than
sufficient. The United States is
in no danger of a foreign invasion
that would take a large force Of
men to repel, and should such a
time ever arrive, it would not take
long to awaken the spirit of patriot
ism in nourpeopleinto raisinganar
Of millions if necessary. Europe
is constantly groaning under the
burden of taxation for keeping i'm
mense armies in the field, and the
people are growing restive under
the load. There is also a growing
sentiment against making the mas
ses food for powder to crafty the
personal ambitions of a crowned
head. A few more years may
witness the complete overthrow of
militarism in the civilized world. |
and when it is, the world will be
all the better for it.

Hon. B. F. RUSSELL, speaker of
the house of representatives of
Missouri's legislature and editor Of

been elected Seryeant-at-A Arms of

Missouri politics have, on the
Republican side, advanced in the
past week or two. The failure of
the inconsiderate and unimportant
would-be's of the Morse Hall
Kerens-Schaurte order. who having
met such cold reception and de-
cisive tlattening out, are now Won
dering what they met for, and
they have decidedly become have
becns. This settles 'em. The
Democrats have met in council and
concluded to recognize the author
ity of the Pcrtle Springs convention.
1t is warning to Republicans
that a contest is on, worthy of the
best concern and strongest battle
of the party. Fortunately the Re-
publican party is united as never
before in the history of the state.
There are no chickering's among the
recognized leaders who are solidly
working together. OF course,
there are some few would-be lead
ers, whom the party does not con-
slider, who would like to make them
selves prominent if no other way,
as obstructionists, but they are like
the fly upon the elephants ear.
Looking to the best interests of
the party, the State League has
postponed the meeting of the
League Convention until after the
National and State nominations.
This without a dissenting voice or
vote of its Executive Committee.
Principles, and not men, are at the
front in the Republican ranks
The best interests if the State and
Nation lead, and where all good
citizens can follow. 1t is this that
encourages the managers of the
party, and the party in its man

putation of taking more interest in
politics than those of any other
country; but as matter of fact,
this interest is apt to be only spas
modic, generally speaking, and not
regular and persistent. When there
is President to be elected, for in
stance, they rally to the support of
their respective parties in a Jealous
way, and as long As the campaign
asts the air is filled with political
enthusiasm But after the elcc~
ton, calmness and lukewarmness
ensue, and nobody seems to be con-
cerned about the matters that
recently caused SO niue h
activity and excitement. This
comparative lethargy usually con-
tinues until the time draws near
for another casting of votes: and
meanwhile gross abuses often creep
into the processes Of legislation and
administration. and trusted agents
turn out to be disappointing because
they have not been properly watch
ed. The average citizen is absorb
ed in his private business to an ex-
tent that practically suspends his
relations to politics, and the public
interests are left to the mercy of
circumstances. Prof. Bryce relat
ed, with an accent of surprise,
that when he was in this country
he travelled clear across the CONT
nent without once hearing a word
spoken on any political topic. His
experience is hardly to be taken as a
constant illustration: but it is true,
unquestionably, that there is a pre-
vailing disposition, except at GER
tain intervals, to subordinatepolitics
to other subjects.
This form of neglect, this evasion
of duty and responsibility, is the
source of most of our political evils
and misfortune. We allow mis-
takes to be made and wrongs to be
perpetrated that might be prevent
ed. The theory that what is every
body's business is nobody's business
blunts the sense of heedfulness
and provides chances for mischief
to take root and grow. ''Publie
abuses" says Mr.. Harrison, ''are
the direct and necessary results OF
public Indifference; the plunderers
step over sleeping sentinels and
take by stealth the eitadels they
could never carry by assault. This
has been so freely exemplified il
a striking and costly way that il
is not to be disputed as genera
proposition. Such things are t.
