A CLEVER POLITICAL POEM.
II Was Written by an Irishman Durinl
the Rebellion of 1898.

II Was Written by an IrIshman During
the Rebellion of 179S.
What is spoken of as "one Of the clev-
crest political poems ever composed
has recently come under the notice of
contributor to u northern contemporary,
the Dundee Advertiser. 1t was written
by Arthur Connor Cor O'Connor), the
friend of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, and,
like him, prominent figure in the Irish
rebellion Of 1898. He was arrested at
Margate that year, when OH his way to
France on secret mission. After being
detained in Kilmainham Jail for some
time, he was at length removed, with
other political prisoners, to Fort George
in Scotland. 1t was while OH his way
thither that he distributed copies of the
following poem, which was regarded as
proof of his return to loyalty:
The pomp of courts and pride Of kings
prize above all earthly things.
/ love my country, but the king,
Above all men his praise sing.
The royal banners are displayed
And may success the standard aid.
I fain would Danish far from hence
The "Rights of Man" and common sense.
Confusion to his odious reign,
That foe to princes, Thomas Panel
Defeat and ruin seize the cause
OF France, its liberties and lawsi
If the above lines be read continuous
ly, they seem to express very loyal SEN
timents. But if you read the first line
Of the first verse, and then the first line
of the second verse, you will find that
they breathe the spirit of rampant re-
bellion:
The pomp Of courts and pride of kings
fain would Danish far from hence.
Iprize above all earthly things
The "Rights of Man and common sense.
I love my country, but the king
Confusion to his odious reign!
Above all men his praise sing,
That foe to princes Thomas Panel
The royal banners are displayed.
Defeat and ruin seize the causei
And may success the standard aid
OF France, its liberties and laws.
Arthur O'Connor ultimately made his
way to France, where, in 1907, he mar
ried the daughter of the Marquis dc
Condorcet. He entered the French army
and rose to the rank Of general. His
death took place in April, 1859, when
be was 81 years Of age

joke, thought the king in dead earnest
and actually butchered the misguided
archbishop in a sickening manner before
.he altar. This was in ITO.
Henry, who was in France when this
occurred, was thoroughly Mortified and
frightened, no doubt, SO much SO, in
fact, that he agreed to make pilgrim
age barefoot to the tomb of Beckett,
but even this did not place him upon a
firm footing with the clergy, who pa
raded Becket's assassination ON all oc-
casions and thus strengthened this op-
position to the king. Bill. NYE,

SOME TIME.
Last night, my darling, as you slept
thought heard you sigh,

Last night. my darling, as you slept
/ thought heard you sigh,
And to your little crib crept,
And watched space thereby;
And then / stopped and kissed your brow,
For oh, love you So
You are too young to know it now,
But some time you shall knowi
Some time when, in darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon a face
Calm in eternal sleep;
The voiccless lips, the wrinkled brow.
The patient smile shall show
You are too young to know it now.
But some time you may knowi
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, o my darling, how my tears
Are falling as l write,
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you shall know.

The age of chivalry, which yielded

Silver and Farm Prices.

Iowa wants free silver because II will
give silver prices for the products Of
hAr farms. Our crop Of corn In 1895
was 2S5, 900. 900 bushels. The market
value on a gold basis was $4S, SOC, 900.
On q silver basis 1. would bring s97,-
eo0, 900, or an increase in the circula-
e.on Of Iowa for corn Of S48, 500, 900 in
sne year.
The total crop product of Iowa
farms for 1895 was, gold valuation,
S16S, 235, 420. To measure 1t on q sill
yer basis 1t would bring $3.50, 470, $40,
an increase In the currency circulation
In Iowa for one year Of t1ss ,235, 420.
Perhaps some doubling Thomas may
think free silver would not do this.
For an answer, point to silver coun-
tries. where the price Of farm products
is practically double ours to-day.
point to the circular Of President Ives
OF the Burlington, Cedar Rapids &
Northern railroad, who admits that
farm products would rise In price, but
says railroad charges are fixed by law.
and the company would be paid in sill
yer, and must pay interest and bonds
In gold, thus losing the difference in
exchange. Suppose the company does
suffer the loss Of the exchange, would
not its share Of that S16S, 235, APO, the
silver price, over and above the gold
price Of the crop Of 1895. more than
recompense them for the less in ex-
change, and In the volume Of their busi-
ness regulated by law? It must be
borne in mind that Iowa is an agricul-
tural state, and to lessen the value of
her crops is to cut on the life-blood of
her commerce.
For fifty-two weeks in the year Iowa
merchants are sending money east to
pay for goods. One year would drain
our state Of all our currency, were 1t
not for the crops Of Iowa farms, which
return the money, thus acting as
balance-wheel to trade. To lessen the
price Of farm products is to cut on to
that extent the golden stream from
the tills Of Iowa's merchants, causing
a congestion OF money in the east,
which destroys business in the west,
and In the course Of time reacts on
the eastern or manufacturing states
also. For this reason free silver is
preferable for Iowa to protection, as
the farmers are really the foundation
Of national prosperity. and it were bet
ter for the whole nation to tax manu-
facturers and give a bounty on each
bushel Of crops raised than to tax
the farmers by protection for the bene-
