THE Loss OF MICHIGAN.


As was to be expected the triumph
of the gold standard forces in the State
convention of Michigan was h2siled with
very great delight by the single stand
ard wing of the Democratic party; and
by the administration with especial
JOY.
Don NJ. Dickirson's dispatch to the
administration at Washington, saying.
I'VE elected twenty honest money men
out of twenty-eight in the delegation
and put in the unit rule revived the
sinking hopes of the gold standard
Democrats about administration head
quarters.
A special to the Globe-Democral
says:
The president manifested more in
terest in the news from the Michigan
Democratic convention than he has
shown in any political event for two
years. For the first time in that per-
iod ne received dispatches at the White
house and followed the proceedings as
last as tie report came over the wire.
AS the fact of complete control by the
gold standard Democrats developed.
the president manifested his satisfac-
ton pointedly.
1t is also said that sound money Dem
ocrats regard the result in Michigan as
the turning point in the campaign for
the control of the Chicago convention.
On the other hand. while the loss of
Michigan is deplored by silver Demo-
Gratis, 1T is not regarded by any means
as endangering the control of the ma
fional convention by silver men. SEN
ator Jones of Arkansas, a leader among
silver Democrats. is represented in this
same dispatch as saying:
The serious question is whether pat
riotism or pelf will control. 1 think
the result in Michigan will be a warn

is being made by the gold men in
the states named, but my information
is that they cannot defeat us. In Cook

as to the details of the Michigan con-

enough were drawn over to
the other side to accomplish

that this was worked through in

IN MEMORY OF LEE.

The drapery of heaven hangs high
In dark and gloomy shrouds,
The angels used their weeping stars
In pinning back the coluds,
Virginia never raised a son
More strong and brave than he,
Save one, and that was Washington,
Who lived and died like Lee.
CHORUS.
Bow down your hearts, we Southern sons
A few brief moments spend
In praying for the loss of one
Who lived and died your friend.
He loved you better than his life,
And while on bending knee
Look up and let the angels hear
Your prayers, God bless our Lee!"
He had no enemies on earth,
There's not voice that can
Say aught against the name of Lee
The soldier or the man.
There's not woman. man, or child,
[ care not where they be
Throughout the still sweet sunny south
But loves the name of Lee.
His trusty sword was laid aside.
His work on earth was done,
He loved the people of the south
And they idolized their son.
That ever ceased to see
The place where memory wrote the name
Of Robert Edmund Lee.-Ex.

its weakness the moment it ceases to
destroy and attempts to construct. Its
repeated failures emphasize this weak
ness, and however much men may be
disturbed by the often brilliant assaults
made upon the bulwarks of faith by
| atheists, only demand of atheism a
structure to take the place of the one
and failing in that, men who have

apparent ruin wrought among the
monuments of faith, turn back to the

/ find the consolation that atheism can
not give.
/ Say what you will, man is a religious
animal; it is a sentiment ingrained in
him; and though the cold philosophiz-
/ ing of his mind may incline him at
times to atheism, the necessities of his
heart incline him to faith, and he seeks
refuge in the arms of religion.

Christian religion, but all have signally
failed
Some of the above have sought to in
vent social systems to take the place
of religious institutions, but all have
failed. AS with the atheistic socialism
of Bradlaugh, so with all the others.
For a time while foolish Christian
alarm led some opposition against
atheists, they flourished; but when
opposition ceased, and these schemes
had to be supported by the native
strength of unbelief, they crumbled to
pieces, showing the fact that con-

anything be more paradoxical than
that? There is no strength in unbelief,
at least no constructive strength; it is
pure negation only, and in that there

THE BIG IF.

If things that have not had really
The ring of the real coin;
If potatoes, for instance, were mealy,
And beefsteak was all tenderioin;
If goatmeat was Southdown mutton,
And butchers had civilized souls;
If collars were easy to button,
And buttons were glued in their holes;
If women's tongues were not waggy,
And sweet little babies never cried
If trousers never got baggy,
And shoestrings would always stay tied;
If money was made by talking,
And never man was rogue;
If distance did not mean walking,
And car fares were not in vogue;
If cross words were not reproaches,
And kisses ne'er meant to betray;
II MOSQUITOES were only cockroaches,
And Jersey fit place to stay;
If your frowns dearest Maud, were car
esses,
Each pout but the seal of a kiss;
If you ever had quite enough dresses
Oh. then wouldn't living be bliss,

We very much doubted at the time
if the merely general declaration of the
Illinois Republican convention in IA
vor of honest money would satisfy the
Chicago Times-Herald, which called
not only for a declaration in favor of
the single gold standard, but also for
an anti-silver declaration. We were
right in entertaining our doubts as will
be seen by this post-convention editor
ial of that paper:
The convention went further than the
politicians wished and not as far as
the people expected in the coinage res
olution. Instead of an out-and-out dec
laration against the free coinage of
silver by the United States at a ratio
of 16 to 1, or any other ratio, which
would have been the exact expression
of the opinion of a vast majority of
the Republicans of the state the COM
mittee on resolutions persuaded by
country members who have heard the

vigorous generality in favor of honest
money.
