"The Seasonal Satire" appeared in

poetical productions and three novels.

him into prominence was a prose work

But love, the boon Of lord and clown,
Love had he made his own,
Love, jeweled beyond any crown,
Loftier thar any throne,
had found a maiden fond and fair,
Who, trembling on his heart, wept her glad
weakness there.
Alas for her. the graced, the good,
Forever doomed to wear
The moCkery OF widowhood
About her maiden hair.
Scarce had she time TO reach and clasp
The gifts Of love but they were ashes in her
grasp.
Oh, if she could exchange her lot,
And now were free to choose
With one who, in some whitewashcd cot.
Over her baby COOS
And tend the humblest hearth that burns,
To whose awaiting smile the cherished one
returns.

Springfield, H., June S-The Phila-
delphia Press wired the following to
Governor Altgeld
"E. c. Benedict President Cleveland's
friend writes that in his opinion no
democrat can consistently vote for a
candidate on a free silver platform.
VIII you kindly wire us your opinion on
this view"
The governor sent this reply:
"According to reports there are a
number of Wall street spectators who
boast that they are taking care of Gro
yer. Let them 60 on in this benevolent
work and for once give the people
chance to take care of themselves A
little less Wall street and little more
patriotism will work wonders in this
country. Tell Mr.. Benedict to borrow
a gun and go duck hunting with his
friend. The American people are self
sacrificing and will erdeaver to get
along. TOHN P. ALTGELD."

May BE a Woman.

New York, June 8.-A dispatch to the
World from Barcelona says:
The anarchist outrage yesterday, ex-
actly thirty-one months after the Liceo
theatre explosion, presumably was
aimed at the host in the religious pro-
cession. The American consul general
went at once to the spot. As no Amer
lean was involved he called on the cap
tain general to offer coincidence. Extra
precautions have again been taken to
protect the United States consulate day
and night. Your cOrresP ondent has
seen six of the dead in the hospital and
eight of the wounded. Fourteen are
dead, mostly OF the poor class. There
is a rumor that the leader Of the assas-
sins is a woman.

nished honor used IN the construction
Of former platforms should be left out
Every patriotic American believes in
sustaining the untarnished honor of the
country, and in honest dollars, the mil
lions of voters are thoroughly satisfied
that our national honor would be pre-
served and that honesty would prevail
under just system OF bimetallism. The
fact is, the gold standard advocates do
not want bimetaliism; England does not
want b.metallism We have been re-
solving in favor OF bimetalIism and leg
isating in favor of the British gold
standard antil distrust and discourage
ment have taken the place of patience
and federation in the minds of the peo-
pie. In 1898, England closed the minis
of India to silver and we repealed
the Sherman law Strange as it may
appear, these two events took place
within thirty days of each other It
would look very much like collision,
only we are assured that it was done to
restore confidence
"What the people of the United
ates want from ibis convention isSt
substantial promise that the republican
party will give them genuine financial
reform; they know there is nothing to
hope for under a policy which means
more bond issues and Perpetuates the
gold standard. Leading southern dele
gates with whom | have talked admit
the force Of this argument, but they
answer that the democratic party has
become the champion of silver and con-
sequently the republican party must
take the other side of the question. If
we are given straight gold plank next
week, it will be largely through the
help of delegates coming from states
that never gave a republican vote in the
electoral college. IF the convention
makes the mistake of approving the
English financial system, it will be any
thing but a cheerful campaign for our
party. Our orators and party organs
may turn the eagle loose and unfurl
the stars and stripes when advocating
an American protective tariff, but they
will want unicorn and the cross of St.
George when they discuss the financial
question.

On Hermans,s Trail.

According to St. Louis dispatch, de-
tectives from that city are on the trail
of the much wanted Rev. Hermans. On
May II he checked his trunks TO point
in the wild part of Southern Missouri
after having vainly endsavored to have
them checked through to point some
dirtance in the interior.
Officers all over the country are alert
and anxious to apPrehend him, which
has resulted in the detainment of sew
eral suspects. At Malad, Ida, the fore
part of the week an inoffensive book
agent found himself the unwilling
guest of the sheriff, and when hs had
succeeded in establishing tho fact that
he was not Hermans, regardless of APP
pearances, lost no time in losing him
self from large crowd whom, he inn
agined, had notion to abbreviate his
existence.

1t il still UppermOst in the Minds of
the People.
St Louis, June Io.-The financial
question is still uppermost in the minds
of the politicians in St. Louis, there be-
ing now scarcely any possible doubt
about the question OF the nomination of
the president and not very much being
said as t. who the vice president will
be. Men are working on financial
planks or saying what the financial
plank ought to be.
Senator Hansbrough, member OF
the national committee, in an interview
today said;
THE convention should at least
pledge the republican party to labor
faithfully in behalf of an international
conference on the money question, with
a view to securing an agreement in be-
half of permanent and settled equality
between silver and gold, and the nomi-
nee should be instructed by the conven-
ton to force the gold nations of Europe
through trade determinations in our
commercial intercourse with them 10
establish bimetalism as the universal
rule. Should the republican party take
hold of this great question in the vigor
Gus way it has heretofore settled other
great questions, the houest, conserva-
tive masses will support it heartily.
This, in my judgment, should be the
central idea in framing the financial
plank.

ST Louis, Mo, June ro.-Mr. Marley,
of Maine, said this afternoon;
ain my judgment the convention will
nominate Governor Mckinley on the
first ballot for the presidency 1t is use
less to attempt to deny that this will be
the result. The action of the national
committee in its overwhelming vote on
the Alabama cases settles conclusively
how the respective states which the
committee represent will vote in the
convention.
"Mr. Reeds name will be presented
to the convention and he will be voted
for, and l am authorized to say that
under no circumstances or conditions
can he or will he accept the nomination
for president, if it should be ten
dered to him The great majority of
the New England delegates will be
loyal TO Mr.. Reed, but it is evident that
the convention is for Mr.. Mckinley and
will nominate him."
While the declaration of Mr. Manley
contained nothing that has not been
looked for for many weeks, yetit caused
hutter of excitement when it was
known the manager of Mr. Reed had
announced there was no further hope
among the leaders of the forces of the
man from Maine. Other supporters Of
Reed said the declaration would cost
Reed at least half Of the votes that
would have been cast for him had moth
ing of the kind been said, and several of
Mr.. Reeds supporters asserted the dec
laration of Mr. Manley ought to be fol
lowed by a statement from Reed that
his name would not be presented, so
those who were yet under obligations to
vote for him would be released. It was
said that in the face Of certain and ad-
mitted defeat, delegates could not be
expected to vote for Reed and that
probably all of New Hampshire, all of
Rhode Island, and all but one Of Con
necicut, would be cast for Mckinley,
even if Reeds name was presented.
