We do not think II unfair TO assume
that the newspapers which institute this
comparison know that the great mass
of the iliiterates I'm the Bryan States did
not vote for Bryan. The Evening Sun
and the Mail and Express cannot be I'M
aware Of the fact that most Of the illite-
rates in those States are Republicans.
SO far as they voted at all. they cast
their ballots for Mckinley and sound
money. 1t is not their fault that they
cannot read and write They are the
freed men or the sons OF freed men. In
Maryland. Kentucky and West Virginia
the votes Of the black illiterates assured
those States for Mckinley. In States
farther South the colored men cast the
bulk of the Republican vote. II seems
strange. in view Of these facts. that in
telligent newspapers will try 10 convince
the ill-informed and credulous that IL
literacy IS a characteristic of the Bryan
vote. For our part. we are glad to re-
cord to the credit OF both the cOllorel
uliterates and the foreign element that
they voted against free coinage.

In New York n few days ago a man
named Norlander appeared as a prose
cutor against two young girls. While
the trial was going on Norlander was
identified by a person in the audience as
a swindler and was forced TO admit on
the witness-stand that he was con
vict who had recently served term OF
three years in the State prison. Inc
girls were acquitted, and Norlander was
arrested on charge of larceny shortly
after leaving the courtroom. Had II
not been for the identification OF Nor
lander, which was dye only to a fortu-
nate combination of circumstances, two
innocent women would probably nave
been convicted.

Written in Memoriam

WRITTEN BY Mss CLARINDA SMITH.
She is not dead; she sleepeth!
In life, there areno fcad
So do not weep, dear friends.
Rejoice with her instead.
Hers is life eternal,
She is at peace with God
Why glieve for her, dear frlends2
She's at rest beneath the sod.
1t was with deedest sorrow,
We laid her away TO rest
Aud mourned our loss with bitter tears.
But God, he thought it best.
And though we sorrow and weep,
Our loss we'll never regain,
For that sweet life has vanished,
And we sigh for her in vain.
Ir fancy | can see her,
| can hear her sweet voice sing
Amid the choir of angles,
Her silyery tones now ring,
The loved form of our darling
Now greets the Savior dear.
All! no, sleep on, dear friend,
The earth sees thee no more;
God grant the day will come
When we meet on heavens shore
Thine was calm, sad death;
yya al p,uct do coma Iay-
We all must cross deaths portal,
And, like flowers, fade away.
Farewell, farewell, dear friend,
Thy dear form is at rest,
Thy soul now waits on Jesus,
Thy resting place-His breast.
Farewell. thy lite's not ended,
IT'S only just begun.
The crown Of life thou wearest,
Is the dearest victory won.
