THESE are we'll spoken words from
the Peoria Herald: "For the year
1895 the number Of lynchings in the
United States exceeded the number
o! legal executions by 80, the figures
being III to 1872. respectively. This
is irightful condition OF affairs. and
yet the people have no one to blame
for it but themselves. 1t lies in a
failure to properly enforce the laws.
and this can be remedied by electing
men to office who will make it q
point to see that justice is admins
tered without fear or favor and at
all times. There are so many in
stances where the crime goes I'M
whipped Of justice that it is little
wonder that the people sometimes
arise in their might and take the law
into their own hands. Nevertheless
1t is to be deplored that such q state
of affairs exists"

As he swine along IN sight:
And his watchers wait. eXpectant

But the day seems ALWAYS dsrker.
As tr ough clouds had yelled the SKY,
When they miss his CHEEKY greeting,
And the pos;msn passes by.
News he bears Of joy and sorrow.
Love ind hate from ev'ry land;
And he knows when maid and lover
Claim their treasures from his hand.
Sad and lonely hearts heat faster
When they hear his footsteps nigh,
And With hope deferred grow fainter
When the postman passes by.
Though the business man may grumble
Wren be hears his hurried tlam.
Well he knows he's long been waiting
For = at son Of Uncle s,m.
And though bills. and duns, and sta ements,
Thick DER de * and table fly
He will hope for some sweet message
Till tie Lostman passss by.
Lies g " eongs and tragic numbers
In that leathern bax he be ar-,
And the box PANDORA guarded
Held but half az many cares.
So to this gray-coared Janus
Let Us lift goblet high;
Health ana courage TO the postman.
Though he stops-or passes by.
