LINES TO A BLorTINo PAD. a

khcu kindly porous plaster for the ills
Occssioned by the ink poet spills.
Absorb unto thyself his many faults
And sponge his verse where rhyme or rhythm
haltsi
Yet lest perchance thy too retentive touch
Appropriate in passing overmuch,
Pray leave a trace Of what he would imply
We're thought but free and ink allowed to dry,
In former times they sprinkled out the sand
To sweep it of and let the writing stand,
While nowadays limo is hardly writ
Ere we regret and seek TO alter it
And spend in emendation so much pains
That scarce an inlSling of the truth remains.
So for the nonce let my poor pen run free
And leave recorded whatso'er it be.
Grant it expression for a final line,
And all that went before is gladly thine.
Then will this postscript yet suffice to show.

Governor Watson is not granting
every pardon that is asked, and it is
safe to predict that he will not pardon
the Clarks, no matter what the two
Philadelphia physicians may certify.
Their crimes were diabolical and their
sentences none too heavy. Persons who
have a prediction for applying the
torch to the property of those against
whom they entertain a grudge are bet
ter in prison than out Of it.

II is a pity that the law would not
justify Magistrate Sasse in imposing a
heavier sentence upon Jail Warden
Howard Reed for his brutal and cow
ardly assault upon our representative
at New Castle. A few months behind
the bars would probably do him good.
If Sheriff ellis has any self-respect he
will remove the coward and brute
from the position which he holds at
the Jail. He is on the wrong side OF
the bars.

The True Functions CO Political Parties,

The True Functions of Political Parties
Let Us not be too superstitious about
Parties. Political parties, rightly under
stood III this free country, are but
agencies employed by the voters for
carrying their own viii into effect.
There have been times, within our first
century Of national life, when party
lines and party issues seemed to vanish
altogether. National parties great in
their day and with renowned leaders
have dissolved and disappeared, some of
them whose very names are doomed to
be forgotten, because the people needed
them as agents no longer. What, then,
should be the fate Of those political or
ga.iZer5 who make a F1ankenstein
monster out Of tbs party machinery for
consolidating and monopolizing personal
power, Pelf and patronage? Let them
be crushed under their own continuance.
When any organized force compels
the voters ard takes from the people or
from any popular party a fair right Of
selection among men and measures, it
should, BY whatever combination Of
scod c5tizons, be overthroWn. The tyr
amy Of an absolute monarch is palliated
y glttcriGg pOInps and illusions which
stimulate sentiment OF personal loyal
