THE FAINTER.

Nature hath taken her delicate brush,
Her palette and paints and all.
She hath worked in the silence of star
ligh hush,
She hath worked in the storms loud
brawl;
She works-and 10!
The freScoeS grow
On the sides of her ample hall.
She hath tinted the apple with Pushes Of
She hath covered the pear with white,
And the osier blooms where the honey bee
goes
She hath crowned with a golden light;
The leafing sioe
Is draped with snow,
And the celandine stars CLEAN bright.
She hath sprinkled the meadows with
silver and gold
And the cuckoo flowers delicate hue;
She hath kindled the gorse on the wind
haunted void,
And hath garnished the woodlands
anew;
The speedwelPs eye,
Demure and shy,
She hath touched with heaven-born
And in and about and around them all
She hath filed in background of
green;
The leaf buds burst at her noiseless call
And spread out a verdurous screen;
And wearied eyes
In quiet wise
Find rest in the soothing scene.

CATCHING AT sTRAws.

All drowning men catch at straws.
This is but natural and shows how
strong the instinct of life is in man.
Just now the gold standard men in
the Democratic party are catching at
straws. This straw is the two-thirds
ruls.
The Pittsburg Post is Of the opinion
that the maintenance of this rule in
the national convention is a measure
of safety for the Democratic party. 1t
says the silver men, if they are wise
in their day and generation, no mat

convention, will let the two-thirds rule
severely alone. Then it proceeds to

The New York Mail and Express
says that the ce-presidential boom
Of Col. F. d. Grant is not one that
is likely to flourish and bloom. Col
Grants time and high intellectual abil-
tiles are fully employed in his present
position as police commissioner. He
cannot be spared even at the demand
Of the nation. Besides, his disastrous
campaign for secretary of state a few
years ago indicates that his talents
are not appreciated by the people, and
that his name would lend no strength

The city of Cambridge, Mass, has
just celebrated its semi-centennial.
The Boston Herald speaking of the
event says amid all the proud boasts
that the orators of Cambridge have
made on the occasion of the senni-cen-

proudest was that voiced by Prof.
Fiske when he said that Cambridge
was not worried over the problems of
municipal government. 1t did not think
municipal government a problem that
was at all unsolvabie. 1t took no such
dark views. The secret was that Cam

but what kind of a man he was. Here,

TUESDAY EVENING, MAR. "a 1896.

THE BUSINESS men and men OF al
fairs in nearly all the larger cities OF
this country have been interviewed on
the subject of the sudden and rapid de-
velopment of jingoism in the Uniteo
States that was melted by the Presi-
dents, as yet inexplicable, war mani
festo against Great Britain, and, with
one accord, they all agree that the Ven
ezuelan, the Armenian and the Cuban
affairs, by creating distrust, not only
of the conservatism, but even OF the
common sense, of the men who control
the government, has alarmed those at
the head of all the large Industrial,
commercial and banking interests, and
tended, naturally, to tighten money ano
shorten credits, and has had a greatly
depressing effect upon all kinds OF bust
ness. Capital is the most timid OF all
things, but even the boldest specula-
tor would hesitate to invest his money
in a country liable to go TO war at any
time without provocation, and where it
would be subject to all the dangers OF
war. The many fortunes lost in the
war between the States are too fresh in
the memory of capitalists to permit
them to invest largely in business en-
terprises, when the country is on the
verge of wars with foreign nations.
