Love Can Never Die.

Driving rain and falling tears.

Driving rain and falling tears.
AS the steamer wears to sea
In a parting storm of cheers.
Sing. for faith and hope are high
None so true as you and l.
Sing the lovers litany;
Love like ours can never die"
Eyes of black-a throbbing keel,
Milky foam to left and right:
Whispered onverse near the wheel
In the brilliant tropic night
Cross that rules the southern sky;
Stars that sweep and wheel and fly,
Hear the lovers litany;
Love like ours can never dier"
Eyes of browns dusty plain
Split and parched the heat of June,
Flying hoof and frightened rein.
Hearts that beat the old, old tune,
Side by side the horses fly.
Frame we now the old reply.
OF the lovers litany:
Love like ours can never die"'
Eyes of blue-the Simla hills
Silvered with the moonlight boar:
Pleading of the waltz that thrills.

Maidens, of your charity,
Pity my most luckless state.

A Washington dispatch shows that
the value of the export of provisions
was $11, 134.S67 during last June, which
was about IS. CSC. 900 less than during the
June OF the previous year. This is a
decline OF nearly So per cent. in one
year. Why is this? We were told, a
year ago, and during years previous.
that when Congress should reduce the
duties on other nations products they
would be sure to purchase more of ours.
Cheap Democratic demagogues in Con-
gress, pending the passage Of the Nc
Kinley tariff, presented amendments
thereto 10 the effect that If farm prod
ucts were taken to Europe by the agents
Of the owners and exchanged for cot
ton. wooden and other goods, such goods
should be admitted free of duty. In
fact, the free-trade theory of interna-
tional trade is one of barefoot swap
ping wheat and bacon for ready-made
clothing, stoves, nails and the like. The
free-trader has held that If we did not
purchase of the foreigner all that he had
to sell, the foreigner would not pur-
chase our surplus OF bread n meat, no
matter how hungry he might be. Of
| course, all the statistics of foreign
trade have refuted this theory. We
have always purchased twice or three
times in value of the products of Cuba
and South America that they have of
ours, because we wanted sugar. ETC.,
and could purchase them at a better adj
vantage of these people han else
where.
But here, at the very outset, this
beautiful theory of swapping goods is
shown to be false. We have purchased
three times as many wooden goods,
ten times as many pounds of wool. more
| cutlery, pottery and other merchandise
of Europe than we did in 1894, or ven
In 1892, and Europeans have reciprocated
by going to other markets for more than
a third of the provisions which they
purchased of us in corresponding pc
RODS of 1894. Doubtless the absurd alb
rogation of all the trade treaties by the
| Democratic Congress is partly response
BILE for this falling off. Still. it must be
very evident that Europeans a hard
cash for the increased quantity of
clothing and like goods sold to us, which
they will take to other countries to pur-
chase provisions upon better terms, even
IL inferior in quality.
1t is estimated that during the last fis-
cal year under the Democratic tariff,
500. 600, 900 of merchandise was imported
which could have been produced at
home. If it had been made at home,
the producers of the provisions which
Europe does not buy because it can do
better elsewhere would have been con-
sumed by people in this country produc-
ing these goods now imported. No COM
petitor could get the home producer Of
clothing. etc., from the home producer
of provisions. while the money which
must be sent abroad to pay for the i'm
ported goods YOU have remained at
home, and to that extent prevented the
depletion of the metal in which all inter-
national balances are settled, and will
be, no matter what the home money is
made of.
Thus is one of the fine theories of
the free-traders exploded. to the great
loss of the American people,

A Democratic organ scatters the above

evidently to give the impression that

INVESTIGATING AND THE PUNISH.
MENT THEREFOR.

In the old days Of romance n chival-
ny and free and easy notions concerning
personal rights and privileges. it was no
uncommon thing for a daring knight to
scale the wall and cross the moat of a
neighboring castle and carry off his
friends wife or sweetheart. In such
case the injured one promptly mounted
his fiery steed and with his cohorts
about him dashed across the country in
pursuit Of the marauder, to engage him

siege him If he reached cover; in any
event to pursue him relentlessly until
vengeance was appeased with his life's
blood. Days of chivalry have passed.
but other mems wives are still fair to
see. And il happens now n then that
one of them is borne away from her
lawful spouse. The old custom of fol-
lowing the abductor and splitting his
blood has also survived and find such
strong support in public sentiment that
the %avenging husband has no need to
fear tina legal penalty will be inflicted
on him. There is, however, a growing
sentiment in opposition to this old
| style method of administering justice.
In these days of the new woman, some
| persons maintain that a wife is not
likely to be run away with without her
consent; that she ought to bear a share
Of the responsibility and punishment,
and that in most cases the clipping pair
is pretty sure to be punished enough by
each others company. wen IL she is
torn forcibly away from her rightful
lord, it is considered by these conserva-
tive persons that the lord aforesaid
should let the robber be reckoned with
by the law instead of taking the matter
into his own hands. Mr.. James. of

The Law of the Road.
H4rner' Weekly So

The bicycle has an undoubted right TO the
use of public highways, but there is no
reason why the riders should not observe
the rules of the road. especially in passing
ordinary vehicles from behind. Horses that
have become perfectly accustomed TO meet
ing bicycles may yet be startled by the
sudden apparition of a rider who comes up
noiselessly from behind and whizzes past
on the wrong side. There rs no excuse for
this sort of thing. and riders and drivers
may be justified in resenting IT. Any road
Is wide enough If II is bounded by courtesy
and good will.
