THE FAIR EQUEsTRIENNE.

Way around the lake
Where the cypress brake
Sleeps beyond old Shelburn's shade;
There's maiden fair,
And so debonair-
o the conquests she has made
She can rein a steed
OF the fiery breed,
Though they dash on the wings Of the wind
And her hand is so steady,
And her foot is so ready
o she's of the brayest kiudl
Just the other day
Her steeds ran away.
And the wondering folks saw them pass;
But the ribbons she held,
Till their spirits were quelied-
o she's of the heroine class

a HARD CASE.

Henry Clay Smith, United States CON
sui at Santos, Brazil, has the courage of
his convictions. Unwilling to 20 against
the majority Of his party in his own State
and thoroughly sympathizing with Bryan
and the cause which he represents, he has
resigned his position and in the following
letter to the President gives his reasons
therefor.
"Conceiving it to he my plain duty to
take part in the present political con
test, where so much, as | understand it,
is at stake no other course which my con-
science can approve is left open to me but
to resign the very important Office you
have had the Kindness to give me, to take
effect aJ the END Of my leave, notwith-
standing the pleasure and profit receive
by holding the same. My plain duty
forces me to join with my State and it's
representative men in Alabama in the sup
port of Bryan and Scwall for President
and ViccP President
1t seems n hard case that when a Dem
ocrat desires to support the national
ticket of his party he should feel called
on to resign a position of honor and cmol
umcnts conferred on him for services to
that party. In forcing such IN alterna-
tive on those acting in harmony with the
great minority of Democrats, the Presi-
dent shows all the animus of despot
and 1.-THE selfishness of II partisan, when in
remembrance for benefits conferred he
should generously allow all differing with
the administration to pursue such Il
course.as their consciences may dictate.
