From the present outlook we are
afraid that the Democratic psrty is
split for good. The Democrats who
favor the free ard unlimited coinage
of silver will never allow the gold
wing of the Democratic party to
dictate. So four years from now
will find the two factions vigorously
Sighting each other with the Repub-
Ecan party gathering in the plums.

Written for rnE ARGUs by our Spring Poet.
Welcome, welcome, fair, bright Spring,
know you've come once more;
The birds now raise their notes sad sing
Around nay cottage doUr.
Play round me, gentle zephrys play.
To make me think of Spring;
Cold winter go, yes, go 10 stay;
The birds have come TO sing.
Spring forth. all we forest trees,
And deck our woods in green;
Show now your blossoms for the bees,
Yes, let them work between
Upon the hills and valleys now
hear the plowman's cry;
Go sow your oats and gardens plow,
For surely Spring is nigh.
hear the cattle lowing round,
hear the robins sing;
Then look upon the ground,
Aud know that this is Spring.
The grass will soon come forth and grow
And fields be lovely green;
The roses, too, win bloom know,
And deck the grass between.
Dear Father where is that bright Spring
Where verdure fades no more?
know its near-where angels sing,
On Gods all-blissful shore.
o may we all be a sure heir
To an eternal Spring,
Where all know is bright and fair,
And angels sweetly sing.

THAT WOMAN COLONEL.

The woman colonel still belongs
to the future. The story that Miss
Antoine:te Humphreys, ot Mount
Auburn, near Cincinnati, o., had
been appointed to a colonelcy on
the staff Of Gov. MacCorkIe Of this
State, proves to be incorrect. A
paragraph TO this effect has gone
the rounds Of the press, and the
woman papers have seized upon the
information rs another evidence Of
the Onward march OF the sex. It
now turns out that there are two
important reasons why Miss Hum
phrcys cannot be appointed to this
position. First. she is woman,
and second, she 10 not q resident Of
West Virginia. IL appears that
while Miss Humphreys was at
Charleston. W. Va, last spring she
played the leading role in "The
Mlksdo," presented by home
talent. She became favorlto in
Charleston society, and some Of her
friends one day took her to the
CAPITOL and showed her through
the building. The Governor hap
pened not to he in ut the time. but
bis private secretary was there.
He had some blank commissions
which be was filing out. Someone
suggested that Miss Humphreys
might be appointed TO some Office.

will not carry over one district in
the county and we are doubtful
about that.
But this is not counting him out,
for he might even fail to carry a
district and still have the most
votes in the aggregate. Last but
not least by any means, for he Is
the biggest man of tho bunch,
comes Elisha b. Stone, of the
"River City," the most genial and
polished electoneer of them all. In
fact, ne Is slick article. aud the
way he does it is worth watching.
None of the rest can electioneer the
same dav with "Lish." His man
ner of approaching the unsuspect-
ing voter is simply artistic, and if
he fails to surrender uncondition-
ally to the Prophets wiles, he is a
hardened sinner indeed. The 9th d.
ers will find that Stone is IA hard
man to run against, and although
it was said of the old prophets that
they were not without honor save
in their own country, in this case
Elisha the Modern stands we'll at
home as well as abroad, and there
fore breaks the record. He expects
to carry Union, Portland and Reno,
with a big vote in Lyon aud some
In the other districts. We rather
think he will carry Union and
Reno, but it is mixed about Port
land, as Shaffer claims that as his
stronghold. We would sooner think
he will carry Lyon than Portland,
as his main strength lies along the
railroad, and since Bob Hollis took
siding to give him a clear track, it
increases his chances considerably.
We advise the boys to keep an
eye on Elisha and not dare laugh
at him as he hustles along, for 1t is
recorded IN Holy Writ that some
bad boys who laughed at Elisha of
old and called him an old bald
head. were straightway eaten up by
the bears. Bad boys should always
remember that wherever there Is
bald head, there is more or less
bare around somewhere. However,,
AS Elisha the Modern is not yet
bald headed, there is no danger of
bears.
