Of them fell by John ChurchilPs hand
It is a wonder
Ohssrve the mutations of time. In 1890
tine Duke of Marlborough went to Irejand
to conquer the Sweenys Up and down
the head OF Kinyale his muSketeeis slew
the Sweenys, who died with their pixies
and their pitchforks In their hands as
sweenys ought TO Die. Tie old duke
was gathered to his fathers. The Sweenys
took a new hold OF life and throne. The
Churcbllls withered in body and wealth.
The Sweenys populated the land. The
ChurchiEs died almost without issue. The
Sweenys crossed the sea to rule the new
land Tne Churcha.s came G.ibher, helress
hunting. It was thus that 225 years after
John Churchill drove the Sweenys round
Ireland, the ninth Duke OF Marlborough
met Michael J. Sweeny in the City OF
New York.
The Churchill blood is diluted. The
Swceny blood runs in an unSullled course

ninth Duke of Marlborough has forgotten

Of The slain Sweeny Of 1890, recalls 1t
bitterly. The Duke Of Marlborough Is
degenerated into "a bicyc.ist. The Sweeny

The effect on the country of the recent
cafpaIgn of education on the money ques-
tlon was significantly demonstrated at
the Farmers National congress, lately
held at Atlanta, Ga Soon after the con-
gress assembled a fight was sprung on
free silver, which resulted in the complete
defeat of the 16 to forces. BY a vote of
251 TO 10I the congress refused to insert
the words lat a ratio Of IS to 1" in a
resolution asking congress to use both
god and silver on parity, and calling
for an international conference on the
monetary question. The resolution was

condition of finances in this country, and

made square.y on the merits OF the ques-

Already the question OF recognition Is
being widely discussed Throughout the
United States. In the press and on the
platform. generai.y In a spirit favorable

Who cares what borders on Japan?

When the sun Is shining in the sky
And birds sing in the tree?
Who cares for height of mouutain-top,

Above the highest clouds that float?
I'm sure that is not I!
And n ten men can dig a well.
Now who would give pin
To know how many days each enc
Would take to dig 1t in?

Must 'walk-what matter pray?
Or tive on rats, or lie awake
All night, and sleep all day?
