The execution Of Bartholomew Shea,
IN Clinton, N. II, prison, makes the
suffrage rights Of every man in these
United States safer. 1t shows that
murder to aid repeating at the polls
cannot be committed with immunity
and that Robert Ross. who tried to
defend the purity of the ballot box
with his life, did not die in vain. II
proves also the power of public opinion
and the weakness of political machine
when conforted with the united and
intelligent vii yof the people.

1t isn't always worth while to try to
be smarter than some one else who is
smarter than you are. General Wey-
Ter may one day find this out. He has
the utmost contempt for Marshal Cam
pos's plan of scattering the Spanish
army in numerous bodies all over Cuba
for the protection of the towns. He is
going to let the towns protect them
selves, and concentrate the whole
army in one body, with which he can
crush the insurgents at single blow.
Yes: when he gets a chance. 1t is
quite easy to kill flea when you have
caught him; but to catch him-''hic
labor, hoe opus est. Meantime, the
whole island outside of Havana and
Weyler's camp will be at the mercy of

THE STAR OF DELAWARE.

The following poem, written by Mr..
Nathaniel B. Smithers before the late
war, illustrates his enthusiasm regard
ng the past of his State and his trust
n its future:
Tune-"Hail COlumbi'."
We love thy name proud relawarP,
We love thy glory beaming star
That brightest shOne in darkest hour
And gave 10 fame thy patriot band
Whose blood redeemed our Fatherland:
When gath; ring war clouds rolling dun
Darkly We led our morning sun,
Ever blazing for the fight,
Forward led that peerless light;
Brightly shone that radia' star.
Cleaning through the mists Of war.
Still its glory burns to gem
freedoms beaming diadem.
When Northern blood. like summer rain;
Was poured on Camdeu'~ fatal plain
And fell r ranks like rpeaed corn.
It quivered o'cr the fell Of death
Till Terletons reap rs paused for breath:
Its pu pling glories Princeton saw,
Flashing glanced on proud Eulaw.
Vanward hung O'tr KirkwOOd'S line
Lightning hammered Brandywine.
When burst the storm of iron hail,
And luIid smoke hid Shroud and sail,
Its guiding ray lc ON the brave,
In triumph DER the trackleSs main,
And lit the wave> Of dark Champain:
Its kinding beam, when foam and blood
Chcquering stained Ontario's food,
Gaily cheered TO dea hful charge
Gallant StOckton's reeking barge.
Should hostile feet our soil invade
And Freeman'S cause need freeman'S cid,
Devotion prompts from spoil to save
The hallowed shrine where patriot blood
In homage flowed to Freedoms God;
Affection bids each grateful son
Guard the land his father Won,
Filal pr de forbids to fly,
Fearing shame, but not t. die;
Brightly Shnne our tile-star
Cleaning through the misis OF war.
Still its glory burns to gem
Freedoms beaming diadem.

The House has definitely settled the
question whether there can be any
Legislation in the direction of free coin
age this year or next. The defeat of
the bill passed by the Senate is not
only final, as to this Congress, but it
marks the continuing progress of
sound opinion. Men yet young can
remember when Ohio was crazy on the
money question. The border of fanat-
icism has moved steadily Westward,
and even at the South the silver craze
has less force than it had in previous
