eRocK OF AGES
BY FRANK L. STANTON:

Crock of Ages, clef; for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!'
Sang fhe lady, soft and low,
And the melancholy flow
OF her voice so sweet and clear,
Rose upon the evening air
With that sweet and solemn prayer:
:sRock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let .e hide myself in thee!'
Yet she sang, as oft she had,
When her thoughtless heart was glad
Sang because she felt alone
Sang because her soul had grown
Weary with the tedious day
Sang to while the hours away:
ssRock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee !"
Where the trembling starlight falls
On her mansion's stately walls;
On the chill and echoirg street
Where the lights and shadows meet
There the lady's voice was heard,
As the breath of Night was stirred
Width that music, floating free:
"Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
Wandering, homeless, through the night
Praying for the morning light
Pale and haggard, wan and weak,
With the Death hue on her cheek,
Went a woman--one whose life,
Had been wrecked in sio and strife:
One of whom, iu one far land
Wrote the Master on the sand
And her soul, by Sorrow wrung,
Heard the lady as she sung:
s'Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee ~
On the marble steps she kuelt,
And her soul that instant felt
Mercy's healing touch as there,
Quiveriug, moved her lips in prayer.
And the God she had forgot
Smiled upon her lonely lot
Heard her as she murmured of,
With an accent sweet and soft !:
'sRock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee ~
Little knew the lady fair,
As she sang so sweetly there,
That voice had reached soul
Which bad lived in sins control!
Little knew, when she was done,
That lost and erring one
Heard as she oreathed that strain
And returned to God again

kOGERs As A sLANDERER

Rogers. the Populis.ic candidate for gov
esnor OF the state. has made q number OF
false and reckless charges against various
departments OF the state government: and.
while the charges have been completely
refuted. he has not only never retracted
one OF them and acknowledged his mis-
take. as an honest man would do. but he
persists in repeating them. AS he IL q
Populist 1t was probably . matter Of per-
feet Indifference TO him that IN his SLAM
dsrous misstatements he has attacked the
public record as well as the private char
acter OF Democratic oficehoiders. He has,
however. been sharply called down In his
campaign OF abuse and viiificasion by Mr..
Chadwick. the Democratic member OF the
board OF state land commissioners.
Rogers has been making numerous
charges OF corruption and misconduct
against that commission. Every one OF
those charges has been shown, not by tho
by the Official records. to have been ahso-
lntely without syllable Of justification.
Finally Mr.. Chadwick. who is himself a
fusion Democrat, . man who stands high
in his party. and who was a supporter of
Rogers. wrote him a private and personal
letter calling attention TO the absolute
falsity of the charges. With this private
letter in his possession. calling his atten-
ton to the public records which proved
the falsity OF his charges. Rogers has still
kept on repeating his malicious and men
daeions SANDERS.
Finally. In defense OF his own character.
Mr.. Chadwick has been forced to publish
an open letter. which appeared In the
Post-Intelllgencer yesterday. calling at
'tentien again TO the fact that Rogers Is
circulating haseless SANDERS. and is doing
so with the full knowledge that they are
baseless, and that In utterIng them he Is
not only guilty of malicious falsehood. but
Is sssailing the private character OF a
member of the Democratic party. a party
TO which he Is appealing for support In
this campaign.
This man Is written down by a pron!-
nent Democrat Of this state, who is sup
porting Bryan. fusion and free silver, as
a common slauderer and liar. 1t Is not q
question OF veracity between the two, for
Mr.. Chadwiek's statements are all sup
ported by the documentary evidence of
public records. and indeed good portion
Of the matters covered. those in connec-
ton with the army post. are known to all
the citizens OF Seattle.
Is man who Is publicly proven to be a
mendaelous siauaerer. and who stu def
antly persists IN repeating the same slam
ders. AZ TO be intrussed with any public
position? Is there any moral difference
between such conduct and any other form
OF dishonesty?
