Rangely Bridge Bill Safe.

The legislature adjourned Monday
night last, after an uneyentful session
covering the constitutional limit Of time.
Nine hundred and forty-eight bills were
introduced and about one hundred and
twenty were passed.
OF the successful bills the only one in
which the people Of this county were
in any way interested was the Rangely
bridge bill, and this Mr.. Lowell sue
ceeded in getting through the senate
before adjournment, thus fulfilling his
prediction promises to his Rio Blanco
county constituents.
Mr.. Lowell was also the author of
some Of the most important legislation
affecting the states welfare enacted in
to law during the session, and Is de-
seryedly credited with the most bril-.
liant legislative record Of any member
of the Tenth general assembly.
In the late legislature Mr.. Lowell was
chairman of the house committee on
hnance-the most important committee
in state legislative body, and sum
ming up his labors the Denver Post
(Democrat!c) very candidly says: "Ihe
measures Of general Importance en-
acted by the Tenth general assembly
were all introduced and pushed through
by the mild but insistlve Lowell"
The Hon. Thos. G.. Merrill Of Helena,
Mont, member Of the executive com
mittee Of the National Bimetalic
League, has long communication in
recent issue of the Salt Lake Tribune
proposing a practical plan whereby that
great financial educator, Coins Einan-
cial School" )" can be placed In the hands
Of the masges throughout the nation, to
the end that people may be educated on
the question Of the day-the money
question. IT Is essential that "Coin" be
in the hands Of the people in the South
and West Immediately to counteract
the vigorous campaign now being IN
augurated by the goldites. Mr.. Mcrrills
plan is to raise money for the gratituons
distribution of "Coin" throughout the
country, and has the endorsement OF
the Tribune, which is recognized ~ inc
ablegt exponent Of the silver cause In
the West.
The fight is on A delegation OF
Chicago gold-bugs, representing all the
big moneyed and commercial institu-
tions of that city, irrespective OF party
called on President Cleveland the other
day to invite him TO public reception
TO be held in Chicago In recognition OF
his stand In favor Of "sound lgold)
money! The promoters Of the affair
make no conccaImcnt Of their designs.
Hear them while IL lthc receptiop)
was intended as personal compliment
to him (tbe president), 1t had still
further end In vlew-the development
OF sound money sentiment throughout
the West" The fight is on and IT Will
be TO a finish this time.

THE PRESIDENTS BABY.

The Presidents baby we salute.
Wish her long life and good repute,
Like all babies, may she be the best,
The cutest and the dariingest,
The sweetest and the fairest she.
Just as all other babies be;
The incest. pretttest and best,
And perfect, just like all the rest.
Still, fortune unto her denies
Her great and most transcendent prize.
The gift no future fate can harm
Or being born upon q farm.
Born in the White House where the cows
In scented pastures never browse,
Where flower-crunk wild bees never
Through meadows lit with summer bloom.
Where her young feet can wander
No tangled fields baptized with dew
Nor chase the FURNISHED butterflies,
Live fragments dropped from sunset
Nor follow where the wild brook leads
Its lazy pathway through the meads,
Nor learn the dialect of the breeze.
Nor be a cousin to the trees.
Nor feel the homemade charm
That ever broods above the farm.
The farmhouse as a place OF birth
Excels all palaces on earth.
Born in the purple is the man
Whose life upon a farm began,
Born to a Kingdom wide and free:
And by his knightly right of birth
He reigns q sovereign of the earth:
The earth its natural bounty yields
To this young satrap of the fields.
And spreads her best gifts. full and free,
Before his barefoot majesty.
How fun on Natures bounty feeds
This rhymeless poet of the meads;
What pictures paints she in his eye,
What visions OF the earth and sky
Which the dull blur of many q year
Can never cause to disappear.
THOSE pictures OF the steadfast hilla.
Those pictures OF the winding rills
Those lilied meadows and the fields
That incense OF the clover yields;
Those orchards, when the earth and sky
In loving bridal Joy draw nigh.
The gay earth decked her for her groom
In robes OF blushing apple bloom.
BY distances soft enchantment kisss
OF any painters fafrest dream,
Go with him through the after years
Through mounts or joy. through Wales OF
tears,
BY distance soft enchantment kisst
And bathed in memory's mellow mist.
Life's direst tumuIt cannot harm
The placid pictures of the farm:
And when fate's darkest tempests roll
Through the black midnight of the soul
The visions OF those early. days
OF life's serene untrampIed ways,
They come to sooth US fair and calm.
And bring the blessings OF the farm.
The presidents baby, though she be.
Has missed life's fairest destiny.
The gift no future fate can harm
OF being born upon farm.
