In the Home Circle.

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everyw here;
And, like winged spirits, here and there
The freight shadows fiutter ing go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from another room
Comes, Nov lay me down to sleep"
And somehow with that little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thoughts go back 60 distant years,
And linger with dear one there;
And as l hear my child's amen"
My mothers faith comes back to me
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place.
Oh, for the peace of that dear time.
Oh, for that childish trust sublime.
Oh, for a glimpse of mothers face.
Yet as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And NOW lay me down to sleep.

Victory From Three Conclusive Causes.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
When the returns are all in in Novem-
Der, when, subsequently, the Electoral col
lege shall have declared Mckinley and
Hobart respectively elected president and
vice president of the United States, and
when the history of the campaign, one of
the most extraordinary in American poll
tics, comes to be written, the historian, if
faithful to the truth, will ascribe the vic
tory of national honor and integrity to
three conclusive causes; first, the invul-
nerable uprightness and intelligence of the
American people; second, the power and
energy of the newspaper press of the coun-
try in disseminating truth, dispelling illu-
sions and delusions, and in its contentious
against fallacious and pernicious political
doctrines; and third, the conclusive force
of Bryan's unschooled and mischievous
public addresses, which convinced the
electorate of his conspicuous moral and
intellectual unfitness for the great office
he had sought. Which of these three
reasons was the dominating one it will
probably be decided was the latter, as 1t
may reasonably be assumed that Bryan's
speeches will have had greater influence
than all other things combined in the ac-
complishment of his defeat

Apropos of Mr.. Kipling's departure for
England appeared the following farewell
greeting in the New York Sun:
''Then here's to you, Mr. Kipling, and Columbia
AYERS,
You're poor benighted Briton, but the prince Of
raconteurs.
You may seattle us, and may leave us, still in our
hearts will stay,
The man who made Mulvaney and the road to
Mandalayl"

The cable brings rumors each day from
Europe in regard to the dismemberment of
Turkey, and its partition among the pow
ers All of the makeshifts of diplomacy
appear to have been exhausted in an effort
to induce the Sultan to rule justly, and
the cry of bleeding Armenia will be heard
in spite of the jealousies which have caused
the powers to hesitate so long

William F. Sheehan, ex-lieutenant gov
ernor of New York, has written a letter
repudiatlng the Chicago platform and tick
ct. He concludes as follows: "If the
Buffalo convention endorses the platform
of the Chicago convention or its nominees
my resignation will Immediately be for
warded to the national committee"

An E,nlnnntion demanded,

The civil service law of the United
States provides that any executive, judi
cial, military or naval officer, or any EN-
ploye of any of these departments who
shall be in any manner concerned in sollc-
iting or receiving any assessment, subscrip-
tion or contribution for any political pur-
pose whatever from any officer, clerk or
employe of the United States shall be
guilty of misdemeanor and shall on con-
Victon be punished by fine not exceed
ing $4,000 or by imprisonment for term
not exceeding three years; or by both fine
and Imprisonment, in the discretion of the
court. The Democratic state committee
has been soliciting campaign funds from
the postmasters of Vermont, and a copy
of letter published in The Phoenix last
week showed that the contributions were
made on the basis of ten per centum of the
income of the Office for one year. The
names of John Fl. Senter, United States
district attorney, and A. j. Sibley, post
master at Montpelier, appear as secretary
and treasurer respectively on the circular
soliciting contributions. What have
Messrs. Senter and Sibley to say? The
Phoenix would like an explanation from
them as to whether they consider them
selves violators of the civil service law.

The New York World says that the sill

nently asks whether the revolution in
Maine is a sample of what we are to ex-
pect.

POLITICIANS AT ASTORIA.


Al Mckinley rally there Governor
Lord said;
I'VE are Interested 10 having every
dollar as good as every other dollar in
purchasing power, aud every other
kind of money is dcbascd money"
With this clear, lucid and ambig-
uous flash Of intelligence that must
make llitching post smile, Governor
Lord sat down, feeling he had made a
bold bid TO outdo Senator Mitchell in
catering for the goldbug vote for Sen
atOr.
General Odell, who does the praying
for Governor Lords administration,
had the good grace to leave the money
question alone. lie has always been
goldbug and is very appropriately
supporting Mckinley.
Hon. Chas. Wesley Fulton got a
round OF applause by repeating that,
"sound money simply meant that
every dollar issued by the government
should be worth 100 cents, and not
SO cents"
Webster defines a politician as be-
ing a statesman, but also as zone pri-
marily devoted to his own advance
ment in public Office; one ready to do
anything that he apprehends for his
advantage" Gen. Odell may not be
D p1litician, but as Lord and Fulton
were writing silver interviews less
than two years ago, part OF the above
definition fits them to dot.

GOSPEL TRUTH.

The McMinnville Telephone Regis
ter says: "Strange things happen in
politics. Every man who went to the
depot, on Tuesday, to welcome Sena-
tor Mitchell was, before the spring
conventions, engaged in packing
those conventions with men opposed
to the election of Mitchell to the
United States senate. Every one OF
the men who grasped the senator's
hand aud welcomed him to the city
was his political enemy in the spring,
so expressed themselves, and worked
to elect representatives opposed to
him. These same men have their
knives ready for him, well ground and
we'll tempered. And while he is max
ing great effort to cool his record,
they know it, and they will dig the
same grave for him that the immortal
30 dug for the Oregon Icicle in '95.
Senator Mitchell is on the way to de-
defeat. The gold wing OF the Repub-
lican party has been after his scalp
for years, they are after it yet. He
has deserted his friends and when the
Simon-Scott-D -Dolph crowd desert him
at the next session Of the legislature,
the silver men will not rally to his
support"
The above is just as true of Marion
county politicians. The fight to NOM
mate and elect Mitchell men to the
legislature was made here by the sill
Republicans and resisted by the gold
Republicans. 1t was so in every
county. Senator Mitchell and the
politicians have got together.

ANOTHER DODGER.

Poor little Col. Ormsby! Also n free
silver shouter, who last spring burned
and blistered with indignation over
the bankers and money sharks! Now
he gets down on his knees to the
money power in politics, and raves
and sneers and snarlsat the sllYerites
In the spring silyerbug, in the fan
a goldbug; In the winter he will be a
tumolebug. Some day he will be an
angel along with Mitchell, Lord,
Dolph, Ford and the restl
Col. Ormsby has always been an
honest man and gentleman and nc
doubt is yet. His Inconsistency on
the silver question is no greater than
that of many more who have in the
past pretended to love goldbuggery
not the least bit.

BLAINE'S PROPHECY.

81 believe the struggle now going
on in this country, and in other coun-
tries, for a single gold standard, will,
If successful, produce widespread dis
aster in the end, throughout the
world. flames G.. Blaine.
The above words from Blaine's
prophecy have come true. Blaine
never rose toa clear conception OF
Independent American bimetallism
He was always wanting to put little
more silver in the dollar, as measured
by gold, when that would be legaliz'
ing the appreciation of gold, caused
by the decentralization Of silver. The
way to take the appreciation out OF
gold is to restore silver to its position
when bushel of wheat, 1-16th ounce
gold and one ounce of silver were
each worth Sl.29, as in 1873.

POLK FOR BRYAN.

Senator B. F. Mulkey tells the
Salem Statesman the Republicans will
carry Polk county by 300 majority for
Mckinley in November. Mr.. Mulkey
was twice elected clerk of that county,
the last time by thousand plurality,
and yet last June he only beat j. X.
Sears by AZ votes. There is not much
logic in his claim for Mckinley.
If the Bryan and free silver vote OF
Polk county is fully united and polled
In November that county ought to
give a good round majority for Bryan.
The number Of Democrats who are
going to Mckinley is oyerestimated,
and the battle has not yet begun.
The silver bolt from the Republicans
will grow as times goes on.

How can the farmer pay his inter-
est and principal in gold as long as he
is forced to sell his surplus products
in competition with products pur-
chased in silver standard countries,
and we supplying the cheap silver
bullion to do it with? Restore silver
to its place as money and you restore
prices of farm products.

The Honest money crgan at Salem

people for 20 to 80 years and will
never quit while it pays.

David b. Hill, who has alternately
been for silver or gold as his political
scent directed him, is now cypher, a
suicide. He has gone the way all
dodgers and straddlers go.
