FROM ARIZONA.

Even in Arizona some of the repub-
licans are disposed to show the white
feather. These are ambitious parti-
sans who want to help Mckinley; they
make the thin plea that, maybe. Ari-
zona's chances for statehood will be
better were the republican convention
to omit In its platform a reference to
the silver question.
What arrant sophistry! With the
goldbug majority in the house of repre-
sentatives. Arizona stands about as
good a chance of statehood as Homo
lulu does; the delegates from New
Mexico and Arizona in congress knew
perfectly well weeks ago that the terri
tories they represent haven't a ghost
of a chance this session. We feel sure
that the Mckinley schemers at Phoe-
nix will be sent to the rear; IL seems
impossible that free coinage should fail
of Arizona's hearty support, even In
a republican convention.

cabinet has allured many an Oriental

to the distinct disadvantage of the Wis

change of courtesies between England
and the Transvaal is President Krue-
gers unceremonious announcement
that his republic is not in need of Mr..
Chamberlain good offices and that the

IN A GLASS HOUSE.

Some time ago the Standard gave at
tention to sensational stories about the
Easter sermon of Rev. ID. Parker Nor
gan, rector of one of New York citys
fashionable churches. 1t was an elo-
ouent discourse and was reported In
full summary for the Tribune. Along
came Rev. Timothy Jonathan Lee OF
Newark. New Jersey. with sermon
printed several years ago which is
complete parallel of the Morgan dis
course.
OF course, public curiosity was
at once aroused to know who Lee Is III
didn't take long to locate him. He was
Yale man of the class of rs and he was
chosen to write the parting ode. Just
now that bit of verse. which might
have remained in ohscurity but for the
organ incident is being widely quot
ed. The first stanza is this:
As DER the past. the hallowed past
Reflection softly sweeps,
Reyiving many a pleasant scene
Which memory fondly keeps,
A thrill of Joy one moment steals
Across the spirits chords,
And wakens there a melody
Too glad for parting words.
Now. ii happens that, during many
years before Lee was a college student,
Rev. DR. Sylvanus Dryden Phelps had
frequently devoted leisure hour to
verse writing. A volume of his poems
was printed. One of these, written In
| 1855. was entitled Friend of My
Heart" One of the stanzas runs like
this:
| AS DER the past. the hallowed past, re
| Election softly sweeps,
| And quick revives the pleasing scenes
that memory fondly keeps,
A thrill of Joy, in these blest thoughts
steals Ger my spirits chords,
! And wakens there a melody too pure TO
mortal words.
The result is that Rev. Timoth!
Jonathan Lee has suddenly become I
very interesting character. He viii
wish that he had left Rev. ID. Parke
Morgan alone.

IN CLOSE QVARTERS.

The case of John Hays Hammond
comes conspicuously into view again as
the result of proceedings in the Trans
vaai court. 1t appears that Hammond
himself has pleaded guilty to high trea-
son. The report reaches this country
that he has been sentenced to death.
but along with this report comes the In
timation that the sentence will not be
carried into execution. In Washington
the story is that word has been receiv-
ed from this country's vice consul at
Cape Town that the sentence will be
committed.
From other sources the report is that,
before he returned TO Pretoria, Ham
mond had reached conclusions with the
Transvaal authorities respecting the
disposition that would be made of his
case. One cannot understand why
President Krueger's government should
enter into any decker with Hammond,
involving his personal safety and re-
lease, unless IL be that his plea would
be deemed valuable in it's bearing on
the case of DR.. Jameson and on the ne
gotiations between President Kruger
and the government at London.

THE SONG OF THE WHEEL

This song I sing
Is the song OF spring
When the winds are abroad and blowing:
When the April rain
Brings buds again
And the green on the trees is showing.
1t is not a song
For the dollhouse throng
Who knows no deeper feeling
Than the theater stalls
And the cold stone walls
That hastens the hearts congealing.
Nor is 1t lay
For the maid whose way
Is sunk in scented valleys
OF novels and ease
And o'clock teas.
With a truce to sunshine sallies.
Lesser by far
Her pleasures are
And shallower far her feeling
Than the outdoor girl
With her hair a-whilr
Down country lanes a-wheeling.
For wondrous rare
Is the wine of the air
From the ripples that purl the river
And the tall hedge rows
Where the sumsc grows
And the meadow grasses shiver.
Hers are the cheeks
Whose hue bespeaks
| The rich blood's crimson blessing;
| Whose eyes are bright
| With the radiant light
That beckons loves confessing.
pouf for the prude
| And the languid dude
| Who faint at the sight of a bloomer.

For the outdoor girl

And the lad who leans beside her,
