MY HoLLYHOCh.

All, mel my scarlet hollyhock,
Whose stately head the breezes rock,
How sad, that in one night of frost
Thy radiant beauty shall be lost,
And all thy glory overthrow
! Ere half the ruby buds have blown!
All day across my window low
Thy towery stalk sways to and fro
| Against background of blue sea.
On the south wind, to visit thee,
Come airy shapes in sumptuouS dyes
Rich golden, b.ack-edged butterflies,
And humming birds in emerald coats,
With hecks of fire upon their threats,
That in the sunshine Whir and glance,
And probe the flowers with slender lance;
And many a drunken, drowsy bee,
Singing his song hilariously.
About the fiuttering garden yet,
In amber plumage freaked with Jet,
The goldfnches charm all the air
With sweet, sad crying everywhere.
To the dry sunfower stalks they cling,
And on the ripened disks they swing,
With delicate delight they feed
On the rich store of milky seed.
Autumn goes lettering through the land,
A torch of fire within her hand.
Soft sleeps the bloomy haze that broods
Ger distant hills and melloWlnS WOODS;
Rustic the corn fields far and near,
And nuts are ripe, and pastures sere,
And lovely doors haunt the breeze,
Borne Ger the sea and through the trees.
Belated beauty, lingering still
So near the edge of winters chill,
The deadly daggers of the cold
Approach thee, and the year grows old.
Is it because 1 love thee so
Thou waitest waving to and fro
Thy flowery spike, to gladden. me
Against the background of blue sea?
[ wonder-hast thou not some sense,
Some measure of intelligence
Responding to my joy in thee?
Almost / dream that it may be,
Such subleties are Natures, hid
Her most well-trodden paths amid:
Such sympathies along her nerves:
Such sweetness in her fine reserves.
Howe'er it be, 1 thank the powers
That gave me such enchanted hours
This late October, watching thee
Wave thy bright flowers AGAINST the sea
Celia Thaxter.

! that the cry for free coinage comes
from the mine owners alone. The
south certainly does not own any sill
yer mines The demand for free coin
age comes from about half the Ameri-
can people, and, right or wrong, they

upon it. 1 rejoice that they are likely
to have it in the next election.
1t is absurd for Major Mckinley to
claim that a protective tariff is the
dominant issue. 1t is not true We
have a protective tariff now, and to
say that our long continued hard times
have resulted from having put a few
articles on the free list and from hav-
ing slightly reduced the duties on
others, is a bare-faced attempt to an
tagonize the common sense and reason
ing powers of the people.
No candid man Will deny that the
condition of the currency is at the bot
tom Of all our trouble Many antici-
ton of the Chicago convention. On the
contrary, l look forward to it for a
clearing of the political atmosphere
We have now, and will have for years
to come, a protective tariff, and we
must resign ourselves to it. 1t does not
matter so much what the amount of
protection is, be it more or less, as
what will be the condition of the cur
rency.
The Democratic party will doubtless
have bimetallic platform, as the Re
publican has one of gold. Gold Demo-
Gratis will vote the nominal Republican
ticket. Silver Republicans will vote the
nominal Democratic ticket, and both
the old issues will be wiped out. The
result will be two new parties on that
of the currency, and in November the
majority will decide this most promi-
nent of all questions, and the country
will know what to expect for at least
four years to come.
In the mean time let us stop all this
vituperation of "goldbugs'' and silver
cranks" and argue the question 1ispas-
sionately. There is much to be said on
both sides, and [ sometimes incline to
the belief that many of US will conclude
that the only safe thing to do is ito

JOHN GOODMAN.
st. Denis Hotel, New York, July 8.
The campaign should be one of dis
passionate argument of the question
that confronts the people and not one
of vituperation; there has for years
been altogether too much of that.
We should be glad to see more such
letters like this of Captain Goldman s
appear in the leading eastern papers.
They would create a better common
understanding between the sections
that are now so divided on the silver
issue.

A STRANGE SUICIDE.

A dealer in patent medicines commit
ted suicide in New York the other day.
He had been convicted of having coun-
terfeited the labels OF a manufacture
ing company and was sentenced to
eleven months imprisonment. He had
long been fighting the big patent medi-
cine concerns, but at last thy crushed
him out. Having been convicted by a
jury of his countrymen, presumably
he was guilty as charged. He could
not bear the idea of his imprison-
ment and so determined upon suicide.
He left the following letter, which was
found when the discovery of his death
was made:
Please make no autopsy" he wrote.
This is an opiate poisoning taken with
suicidal intent, caused by mental de-
preston, not cowardice. The motive
is this: 1 am being bounded to death
by corporation with plenty of money.
They have it all their own way with
the judges. The reform movement is
a great thing. Politicians rule every

deed is perfectly legitimate and eX-
cusable. The poison was not given me
by any one in the building
Innocent or guilty, whether suicide
is justifiable or not, there is a certain
pathos about the letter. No doubt
many man has been bounded to death
by a big corporation with plenty of
money and no scruple.
