A DREAM.

o, It was but a dream / had
While the musician played
And here the sky, and here the glad
Old ocean kissed the glade;
And here the laughing ripples ran
And here the roses grew
That threw kiss to every man
That voyaged with the crew.
Our siiken sails in lazy folds
Dropped in the breathless breeze
AS DER a field of marigolds
Our eyes swan DER the seas;
While here the eddies lisped and purled
Around the islands rim
And up from out the underworld
We saw the mermen swim.
And 1t was dawn and middle day
And midnight-for the moon
On silver rounds across the bay
Had climbed the skies of June
And here the glowing glorious king
or day ruled Ger the realm,
With stars Of midnight glittering
About this diadem.
The sea gull reeled on languid wing
In circles round the mast;
We heard the songs the sirens sing
AS we went sailing past.
And up and down the golden sands
a thousand fairy throngs
Flung at us from their flashing hands
Tn" -"h""s of their songs.

A FRUlrLEss ENDEAvoR.

IT is said that a movement is on foot
to get up q petition TO Spain for the
pardon of the crew of the fillbuster Com
petitor. and forward 1t through the State
Department TO the Madrid government.
The friends of the crew believe that such
y pettion would meet with favor be-
cause It would offer an opportunity to
Spain to retire gracefully from the mis-
taken position 1t has assumed in the
case. There is some reason in this. pro-
vidad the Madrid government realizes
that Its position in the Competitor case is
untentable otherwise there is none The
feelings of the people of Spain towards
the United States is not OF that charac-
ter to awaken any hope of philanthropy
in behalf Of this country. and 1t may be
sure that no clemency will be extended
the Competitor crew upon such grounds.
II 1t can be shown that Spain has any
shadow of hope for their punishment, the
unfortunate men OF the Competitor need
expect no mercy.

CAN'T DE nouGHT.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Journal Is responsible for the
statement that Mark Hanna has laid
aside quarter of million of dollars
with which to buy the State OF North
Carolina. He adds. however:
But North Carolinians, though poor
are proud of their independence. and
are apt to resent signs of corruption
at the polls in an effective and extreme
w disagreeable way"
This is true. and Mark Hanna will
probably find that the people of North
Carolina. as well as those In many
other sections of the Union. cannot be
bought. The mere suggestion is an in

NOTHING NEW IN THIS.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald writes that paper
that John S. Mosby, of Virginia, ia
nous as II Confederate officer, will not
SUPPORT the Bryan ticket" and right
along with 1t the Richmond correspon-
dent OF the Washington Star says that
at can be easily asserted that the
negroes in Virginia will vote soldly
with the Republican party" This is
news indeed. In fact, the announce
ments come as much in the nature OF
surprises as would the announcement
that the Dutch have taken Holland"
The fact Is Col. Mosby has been a
Republican ever since the war. and
there has never been time in all these
wears when he could find the Democracy
pure enough to travel with. No one at
taches any Importance as TO the position
Col. Mosby occupies in the present
contest.
So far as the negroes arc concerned
they. like Col. Mosby, are welded to
the Republican party, and IL they ever
voted solidly any other way the people
down this way have failed to make the
discovery.

Star should try again and give the pub

True 1t will benefit the mine owners

KEEPS IN HIS OWN CORNER.

A New Zealand journal draws q cor
rect picture of the American, when It
says that he confines himself to his own
Continent. The American. It says. takes
no part in the scramble for Africa. He
does not want Constantinople or Egypt.
He has no designs on India or on rail-
ways to the back door of China. His,
Monroe doctrine, thought often Often
sively announced, only means that he
wants to be let alone. This, to those
who recognize his tremendous power,
must appear on the whole an anna BILE
and fortunate frame of mind We be-
lieve we must trust the good sense
or Britain to let him alone, and we
hope that In spite OF some loud hobble-
dehoy talk he will have the good sense
to let Britain alone. Disputes there
will be, but the existence OF competent
cour, to settle them will call forth the
law abiding instincts of the Anglo-Saxon
mind. These two nations, that parted
In wrath and blood. may find the path
Of perpetual peace and, dropping their
olive leaves. may leave a trail that less
happy peoples may ultimately find and
follow"
The way to perpetual peace between
the two nations Is the establishment of
an International court Of arbitration
and the belief is that in time such a trI-
Dunal will be the final result
