UNTIL IT IS SETTLED RIGHT.

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox However the battle is ended, Though proudly the victor comes With fdttering flags and praneing nagS And eching roll of drums. Still truth proclainfs this motto Tn letters of living light No question is ever settled Until it is settled right. Though the heel of the strong oppressor May grind the weak ill the dust And tte voice of fame, with one acclaim, May call him great and just, Let those who applaud take warning. And keep this motto ih sight No question is ever settl d
 Until it is S tled'right Let those who have failed take courage; Though the enemy seem to have won, Tho his ranks are strong, if he be in the
 wrong,
 The battle is not yet done. For, sure as the morning follows The darkest hour of the night. No question is ever settled
 Until it is settled right. O man bowed down with labor! o woman young, yet old; O Oheart oppressed in the toiler's breast And crushed by the power of gold. Keep on with your weary battle Against triumphant might No question is ever settled
 Until it is settled right.

THE Supreme Court of California has rendered an important decision in a case where a man married his mistress and, fearing trouble in the future, put his property out of his hands before marrying her. He afterward deserted her and she sued for divorce, which she obtained, together with $25 month alimony. Tho lower court held that this judgme nt should be lien upon the defendants property, and that. all though the parties were not married at the time the conveyance was made, it was done with the idea to defraud her of her rights as wife. The judgment of the court below was therefore af' firmed

Arizona would not furnish sim gle volunteer. We fear there is some mistake about this matter. We are inclined to the belief that the Cover nor has not been reported fairly.

two feet wider than the box, which may
be made of inch boards. The back part
should be about 20 inches high and the

this way the cover can be lifted entirely

feet high. On top of this place three or
four inches of pulverized soil. Put on
the frame and keep it covered until the
temperature rises to 100 degrees, then
sow the seed. Every night until dam
ger of frost is passed cover with mats
or similar protection. The bed should
be opened every day from until ten

expensive one of brick or stone, COW

The Tariff Outlook.

There is observable among the repuh-
lican leaders a chastened disposition to
let sleeping tariff dogs lie. The country
is being.given assurances that only such
changes will be made as are necessary to
produce revenue sufficient for the gov
ernment's needs. In the far west, where
the tariff issue was worked by silver re-
publicans to get votes against silver,
this retreat of the McKinleyites from
McKinleyism will cause disappoint-
ment, but the people as whole would
like to believe that business is TO be
given a rest from tariff uncertainties.
However, though it is manifestly the
wish of the president-elect and his adj
v;sers to avoid radical action, the trusts
that want more protection for the in
crease of their power and profits will
have to be reckoned with. The patriotic
gentlemen who compose these thieving
confederacies will demand all the fruit
that can be gathered from the victory
which they disinterestedly fought TO
win for the national honor. The instant
the work of making changes in the tariff
is begun their agents will be in Wash
ington insisting on recognition" The
hope of the nation is that election to the
presidency may have bred a new sense
of responsibility and of justice in the
mind of Maj. McKinley.-N.Y Y Journal
