THE POETS LAST LAY.

The eagle arose from his high rocky De-
With wild strange iongings awake In
his breast,
And circled he up, ever higher and bish-
Eer,
With passionate hope and burning
desire
To rise to the realms OF the red luring
sun.
Upward and onward, with strong,
steady flight.
With faithful cxertion, and eye on the
light,
He flew, ill exhausted. discouraged
and weak,
He sank again down to his own barren
peak,
With ambition vanished, and task not
yet done,
And naught but despair and blasted
hope won.
The poet arose. for strong ardent glow
Was filling his mind with thoughts
that would flow
Into the paseionate, wonderful realm,
Where music with Joy the soul does
o'er whelm;
His mind was enraptured, aud beauty
did fill
His heart to DER flowing with beauti-
full things;
Ana strove he to rise, on ths muses.
broad wings.
To vent his emotions 90 lofty and deep,
In words and expressions that never
would sleep.
But soon was appalled,. by the diificult
way,
That aimos. impossible. before him did
lay,
Like the eagle, he sank. with over
come will,
And ever his cong. and his longings
were still.

col. WARING ANDTHE GRAND ARMY
on riIE REPUBLIC.

Colonel Warning, the street cleaning
commissioner of New York city, mas
raised veritable hubbub in the Grand
Army of the Republic by saying that
able-oodied veterans claiming pensions
and offices as their right are "a lot OF
pension bummers" He said this in an
angry controversy, evoked over his say
iIg: Il never appoint a veteran. how
el er good. without telling him that | do
so with regret. for the reason that
cannot get rid of him If he proves UNI
satisfactory. If veterans were the men
now they were in 1861. they would be
willing to stand on their own feet and
take their chances on their merits"
When still further pursued about the
matter Colonel Warhig said my state
ment concerning ,hhe Grand Army of the
Republic was deliberately made. That
organization has in my judg nent, sold
Itself for cash TO the claim agents OF
Washington. Because of its nefarious ac-
tioi the workingmen of this country are
now paying annually slO0.CO00O more in
pensions than they ought to be paying"
Colonel Waring is Union veteran and
he can therefore discuss this subject
without liability to having his loyalty to
the Government called In question.
AN outsider may, therefore. without
offence say. Bully for Colonel Warning"
He has hit the nail very neatly upon the
head According to the New York Her
aid, even more than 800. 900 100 go annually
TO spurious veterans. to men who never
stood up in line of battle. but got their
penSion certificates on fraudulent repre-
sensations. The deserving Union veterans
who are unable TO take care of them
selves ought to be pensioned and taken
care of by the Government But the
pension laws as now administered are
nothing but a huge fraud to bride an i'm
mense number OF voters to cast their
voIes in election i'm a certain way. The
pensioners of the United States are a
huge political machine made up of nine
undeserving mCn TO one deserving man,
and that coheres and operates as a
solid machine to plumber the Government
and their fellow-citizens The pension
system of the United States is a disgrace
TO the Government

An the convention.
Jhis country has never been confronted
with an issue more momentous than that
before II now. However much the real
issues may be obscured in the minds of
some honest advocates OF free silver, 1t
is. in fact. a contest between order and
disorder. between property and agrarian-
ism. between a right to your home and
The liability to be turned out of II. The
issue is rapidly being defined, and IL
is to be tried in the presidential cleo
ton OF 1896. There can be no straddling
now, but every man has got to take his
side with the one cause or the other.
He has got to be for preservation of
the principle Of the sacredness of pri-
vate property. or he has got TO join the
ranks of those who propose to take from
people what they have, and to Introduce
the disorder ana anarchy that is the
inevitable consequence OF action based
upon such an idea.
That is the issue which "free silver"
means. Free silver" means that Gov
eminent will compel a man who is en-
titled 10 a dollar 10 take fifty cents in
discharge Of his claim. 1t Is. therefore,
robbery OF that man of one-half of what
Is his. Whenever that is once adopted
by people as a principle of action rob
berry refuses to be stopped at the repu-
diation of debt. If the Government may
rob A of half of what is his due, II
may and viii take from y one OF his
houses. IL he has two.

fore. ia whether we are hereafter TO re-
spect private property or does a man
hold what he may acquire at the will and
mercy OF those who happen to const-
tute the legislative body?
Our institutions are now on trial. If
they are equal to the strain, we may be
destined to many centuries of prosperous
and glorious national life. But II they

hood in the future to what adventure may

To the Editor of The Times:
Sir.-There are now stalking through
this fair land of ours great Christians,
great phianthropists, noted for their
honest dealing; quoted high "A" in Brad
streets. and in Dun's as q. X. They are
the ones who handle your money, and
make you proper returns, and in whom
you put implicit confidence; who get down
on their knees TO their God in prayer.
asking his blessing upon themselves, and
for the repentance OF the ungodly and
the unjust. After the prayer there
comes TO their door a stranger. look
ing for a home among them. He has
some money-not much. l have 500 or
600 acres of good land, and several other
small tracts that 1 would like to dispose
of. If l can get what 4 think is fair
value for IL.
Stranger at the door, understand that
you have a certain piece of land for sale
on Road, containing five acres.
] would like to buy it, and build resi-
dence for my family, and II you will give
me a low figure, which will enable me
to buy. ! have brother-ln-law. who win
come out and will buy other places, and
am sure others viii follow"
"Well you may have the five acres you
desire for $500 1t is the lowest price
/ will take. | consider 1t very val
liable piece Of property"
The stranger offers 81 500 Cor It, and is re-
fused. The next day the tax assessor
comes and the land is given i'm at about
so per acre. The county and the State
loses the true ts-x value OF its land, and
are thus made TO carry this land for years
for parties who have no use for IL. except
for speculation, and all sales and set
. Elements of such lands are blocked, and
the county loses thousands OF dollars
that should be derived from these lands
In the way of taxes, which is so badly
needed for Improvement Of country roads
/ believe that the above illustration is
the rule rather than the exception.
Money would come into the country
and improve the condition OF people in
general If there was some means by
which parties were prohibited from cor
nering all OF the choice pieces of property.
and placing prohibitive prices. thereby
keeping IT from selling at its true value.
The writer not long ago offered certain
party $500 for a piece OF property that
is now being carried on the tax books of
the county at 81 400, and the proposition
was refused. CHESTERFfELD
