LINES TO A SIX Ell LETON.

Seventy years ago the L,n7on
Morning Chronicle published d
poem entitled Lines to d Skele>
ton," which excited much atten
tention. Every effort. even to
the offering Of q reward ofIffty
guineas, WAS vainly made To dis
cover he author, All that ever
transpired was found that the
poem, in a fair, clerkly hand,
was found near d skeleton Of re
markahle beauty of form ana
color, in the Museum of the
Royal College of Surgeons,,Lin
coins Inn, London, and tha.. the
curator Of the Museum had sent
them to Mr.. Perry, editor and
proprietor Of the London Chron
icle.
Behold this rum. 'Tis a skull,
Once of ethereal spirit full;
This narrow cell was Gfe's retreat,
This space was thoughts mysterious
seati
What beauteous visions filed this srot!
What dreams of pleasure, long forgot!
Nor hope, nor joy, nor love nor fear,
Have left one trace of record here.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shown the bright and busy eye;
But start not at the dismal void:
If social love that eye employed
If with no lawless fire it cleaned,
But through the dew of kindness
beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When stars and sun are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift and tuneful tongue:
If falsehood's honey it disdaiDed,
And where it could not praise, was
chained:
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke:
This silent tongue shall plead for thee
When time unveils eternity,
Say, did those fingers deIve the mine ?
Or with its envied ruby shine?
To heW the rock or wear the gem
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer need shall claim
Than all that wait on wealth or fame.
Avails it whether, bare or shod,
These feet the paths of duty trod?
If from the hall of ease they fled
To seek affiiction's humble she'd?
If grandeu,ss guilty bribe they spurned,
And honor to virtue S cot returned,
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And I'll cad the palace of the sky.

A man of DR.. Kingshury's
character and position before the
public, ought to be ashamed to
speak Of this paper as ''for gold
only" when he knows that it is
for a currency of gold, silver and
paper; and ashamed to say that
it now admits that bi-metallism
is in the lead'-meaning to cons
vey the idea that we call free sill

knows that we believe that free

They must come from men of
other parties as they are convinc-
ed that Democracy is right and
that it is the party that gives the
best government. They will
never come, however, as long
AS this party keeps running
around from one spot to another,
pandering to every whim and
trying to placate every sorehead
and office-seeker. There is no
enduring prosperity for any
party that does not plant itself
upon the eternal rock of truth
and principle and stay there.
just now, we imagine, no Re-
publican would care to join the
Democratic party Of this State
through fear that it will trade
him off to the Populists, and
that no Populist would care to
join it SO long as there is pros
pect, as now, that it may join
him.

State committee were made the
temporary chairman and secretary

gates and demanded that a ballot

Congressman Fitzgerald, in an
earnest speech, eulogised in turn
the four gentlemen named, calling
forth enthusiastic applause. The
four nominees were chosen with
out a dissenting voice.
The platform gives the admin
istration of President Cleveland
during both terms, an emphatic
endorsement and says:
"Believing that the true inter
eStS OF the people require that the
earnings of trade and the wages of
labor be paid in money that is in

be worth, we demand the main

FREE COINAGE OF IRON.
Cor. Atlanta Journal.

Having been deeply Impressed
by the arguments of Judge Crisp,
Bryan, livingston and especially
the Atlanta Consti tuition on the
financial issue now before the
people, ana being deeply grieved,
shocked and borrifed by the stu.
pendous loss entailed on the peo-
pie Of the South by the awful
crime Of '73," amounting to no
leas thar 50. 900. 000, 900 accord
ing to my friend, Mr., Jerry
Goldsmith, in his able paper in
last Sundays Constitution, I
have changed my views on The
money question, aud am ready to
MAINTAIN the propositions fol-
lowing, either in joint debate or
in newspaper controversy with
all comers-I accept their argu
ment, aud agree with their pro-
posed remedy, as far as it goes
only I don't think it goes far
enough. Let US have plenty OF
remeay, in fact, enough to make
debt and poverty things Of the
past, relics of the dark ages!~
I am il favor Of the free and
unlimited coinage Of pig iron at
sixteen to one, and can produce
undoubted authority for the
proposition that such a course
will ''raise prices, . put plenty Of
money in circulation" and bring
about general perity.
Now in the first place, it may
be urged by some who do not
understand the subject of stand
ards OF value that such an act Of
Congress would not raise the
price Of pig iron 10 this level, To
them I reply, ''the stamp of the
government" and its legal ten
der qualities" would instantly
make the bullion value Of pig
iron the same as the mint value
For who would part with an
ounce of this metal for anything
less than the mint value?" Dry
an, Jones and Stewart.
Again, It may be urged that
our mints would be overcroWded
with pig iron. [ reply, That the
price Of pig iron having been
raised from 911.25 per ton to a
ratio Of 10 to / with gold the
world over, no one would care
esDecialIy to carry ii to the mint,
since all of his pig iron would
bring that price in the open
market anywhere {Atlanta Con
stitusion."
Next, it may be urged that
gold and silver would go cut OF
circulation. Il reply, First,
this is a mere assumption of the
tools OF the money power, which
they cannot verify" (Atlanta
CONSTITUTIONS second, Suppose
they did, isn't there enough pig
iron to take their place and give
the people plenty OF money!"
(Bryan); and third that such an
assumption mixes up circulating
medium aud standard of value
that gold and silver would still
he potential money metals, even
if not in circulation. and would
help to raise prices and j in in
the general prosperity" Crisp
Then again, il may be urged
against the pig iron basis that
wages would not rise in propors
ton to prices. The reply is
"wages would be compelled to
rise, since no man would be fool
enough to work fer dollar a
day, who could make 81, 900 pick
ing up old nails and horse shoes
and carrying them to the mint
for coinage" Hull
In addition, it may be urged
by the money power that we
could not alone go on a pig iron
basis without an international
agreement, ITO such dastards
as dare To lay lituit to the
powers of the American people
to dc what they please, inde-
pendently Of all nations, I hur
