MY GIFTS.

Springtime brought me roses gay. VS.
Scattering perfume meath the sun,
could keep them but o day, g3
They were dead when day was done
Summer came In emerald dressed
Gave me flowers bright and fair
When 1 pinned them to my breast, s5'
Soon their beauty perished there.
Autumn lavished fruits on me,
When the bills with spiendor burned, !.
Dead sea fruits they proved to be, e =
s Which to dust and ashes turned.
And told my heart with sorrow,
Nothing lasts beyond day, .=
New gifts come with each new morrow
With that morrow pass away.
Winter came and one gray morning,
When the winds were blowing wild,
Love came to me without warning sf' .
Looked into my eyes and smiled ~
ANTI said: Love, too, will leave me,
Perish like all other things,
1t comes to me but to grieve me-
Leave me to my borrowings
But the love that came unbidden,
Staid and each day grew more dear,
Till within my heart twas hidden,
There to brighten all the year.
Then told my heart with gladness,
Earth's best gifts howe'er soon gone,
Leave behind them naught ef-sadness
Love will fill their place alone.

This country grew rich under
the Mckinley law for awhile, and the
fact deceived those who knew no bet
ter. But thepeople are now beginning
to understand that the country IN
.crea ed in wealth not because OF pro-
lection, but in spite of it. They see
that the one billion dollars taken an
nually from the earnings OF the peo-
pie TO enrich the trusts and fayorises
was draft upon the bone and sinew
Of labor. They understand now that
this money serves as fund by which
earners may buy comforts for their
families, and thus Increase the volume
OF business among sradesmen. Kansas

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.
An Experiments That Would Bring Disaste
on the Countrys

An Experiments That Would Bring Disaster
on the Country.
AS the Times has heretofore indi-
Gated, the reopening of the tariff agita-
ton would be o most dangerous ex-
pertinent at this time, or even next
year. The country has gone through q
severe strain, the result of the McKin-
ley law folly, and during the months
which have elapsed since the repeal OF
that measure returning prosperity has
encountered q good many difficulties.
But the work has been finally accom-
plished.
To reopen the question now or in the
near future would instantly spread
alarm throughout the country, drive
capital back into concealrnent, de-
throne confidence in the safety Of in
yestments and minimize industrial
operations. To invoke such a condi-
tion upon the people Of this country
would be crime equal to high treason.
It would plunge thousands Of Indus
trious people into idleness, despair and
ruin.
But, viewing the matter from the
standpoint Of practical politics, the
democrats would notsaffer from such q
contest. 1t would be those who aim to
restore the excessive taxation, the
blighting economic system, that
would be smitten hip and thigh. The
democrats don't invite a contest on such
conditions, but If 1t comes they will
meet the foes of the people with such

LAIRD" HENDRY'S CLAIM.


Yesterdays Denver News contained the
following item:
"a mining suit involving $4,000 was
begun in the It court yesterday by
Att rney Josep 2. Taylor on behalf OF
A. McGregor Hendry against the Pueblo
Smelling g. Refining company for the
value of ore claimed to have been taken
by the smelling company from a mine
belonging to Hendry, and converted to
its own use.
"Five years ago Hendry, Scotchman,
whose family resides near Edinburgh,
went to New Mexico, to the New Placer
mining district, in Santa Fe county, and
purchased the Anaconda mining claim,
paying therefor the sum of $4,000. He
Immediately began to develop his prop
erty and sunk shaft for the purpose.
Adjoining the Anaconda is the Lincoln
Lucky mine, owned for the most
part by Denver parties. The ore,
which is sulphide, lies in pipe
and runs from the Lincoln Lucky into
the Anaconda, and Hendry claims that
the Lincoln-Lucky people followed the
vein beyond their lines and into the
Anaconda territory and extracted there
from $500 tons of ore which he estimates
to have been worth $l00 per ton. He
charges that this was done during the
years of 1892, 1898 and part of 1894. The
purchasing agent of the smelling COM
pany, who is also interested in the Lin
coln-Lucky, and one or more of the latter
company, it is said, had full notice that
the ore was claimed by Hendry at the
time it was shipped to the smelter, and
on this grouna it is claimed that the
smelling company is liable, as they must
have known they we're buving ore from
the Anaconda. Hendry also notified them
formally, it is said, of his ownership of
the mine.
"Hendry has been in litigation over his
mine ever since he made the purchase,
and 1t is now in the Santa Fe courts.
The Lincoln-Lucky owners claimed that
the location had been made on Spanish
grant and was therefore void, but this
grant was set aside by the United States
governm ent, leaving Hendry's title, he
claims, intact. In the litigation which
has just commenced tho smelling COM
pany will probably dispute Hendry's
ownership of the mine and set up apex
rights and surface locations, but Attorney
Taylor is confident that these defenses
will not avail against the present suit.
Mr.. Hendry has spent between $5O,00O
and $4,000 in developing the mine and
does not propose to give it up
The Pueblo Chieftain says: rs. R.
Ritchie, secretary and treasurer of the
Pueblo Smelling and Refining company,
was shown the above item and stated
that the clipping brought him the first
knowledge of any such suit or the sug-
gestion of any such complaint as no
papers have been served on the COM
pany. The smelter has handled some of
the ore from the Lincoln-Lucky but its
value was but small fraction of the
amount asked for in the alleged suit. He
characterizes the whole thing as given in
tho News story as piece of gross ex-
aggeration."
