The Old Year is Dying.
Written for the Democrat

Written for the Democrat
Once again the Old Years dying.
He is fading fast away,
Silently, his hours are numbered,
He'll be gone ere break Of day;
Gone to join the countless numbers,
Of the old years dead and gone,
And awaking cn the morrow
New Year will greet us at the dawn
Poor Old year how many secrets
Thou hast buried in thy heart,
How much of Joy, how much sorrow
In thy life have had a part.
Yes, he's fading silent swiftly,
Hark! the midnight hour is near
Watchers see, he's gone forever,
And the glad New Year is here.

BACK FROM MENE4.EK,s PRISON
Arrival of the Unfortunate Italians
at Naples.

Inc Naples correspondent for the London
Daily News writes: 1.-The steamer Glava has
arrived here with the prisoners released by
Menelek and various ras, to the number Of
slxty-four. An immense crowd repaired To
the arsenal to meet them. As soon as thew
issued from the gates they were overwhelmed
Win questions, and those who had relations
mere were literally torn out Of the ranks and
embraced with tears. The prisoners bear
many marks Of their sufferings The first
perieo OF their capture was terrible They
We're massed together like cattle and shut I'D
IN enclosures where at night they covered
together to keep themselves. warm and drv
from the relentless rain. The. weaker men
soon succumbed. After about three weeks
they were distributed among native families
and their condition improved, for the Abys-
slnla women are very compassionate. AL
ready ragged clothing gave out and the
most OF them would have been absolutely
naked but for the generosity of the Shoans
and gifts from Queen Taitu.
The soldiers say that MeneIek Is not such
a barbarian as is supposed. He desires to
make himself out equal to the European
sovereigns, and frequently asked the Italian
officers for information concerning the man
ners and customs Of European princes, what
tney ate, now they amused themselves, how
they governed and so on. He has house at
Entotto which is really splendid for an Afri-
can prince. Menelek kept with him those
prisoners who were in good health and en-
ployed them in ornamenting his residence
with gardens in the English style, fountains
and other attractions. At and near Entotto
say Lne prisoners, many French families are
settled, who are all on excellent terms with
the emperor, to whom they furnish goods
coming from Europe, and ornaments and
jewels for Queen Taitu. The queen is an un-
usually stout woman, wears brightly colored
silk garments, cut in European fashion
stockings, shoes, bracelets. rings, etc., and
uses fan. She Is surrounded by a great
number of court ladies and servants. She is
often seen mounted on richly comparisoned
white mule at the head Of her special guard.
Menelek has in his suite an Abyssinian well
acquainted with the Italian language, who
reads to him the leading Italian journals.

CLOUGH is ELECTED.

Returns from the state so complete
that they are not likely to be changed
materially by additional reports con-
firm the previous estimate of the
G l o e, that -Clough is elected gov
ernor by about 5000 votes. It is a close
squeak, and the contest over the gov
ernorship is the most exciting incident
Of the state campaign. There was
wide and serious disaffection among
Republicans at his nomination. There
were powerful forces within the party
at work to secure his defeat, and there
influences which they supposed, right
ly or wrongly, to be behind him. He
had also to contend against the great
personal popularity Of Mr. Lind. the
attachment to him Of old Republican
voters, and the extremely powerful
support Of those of his own nationality
A strong coterie Of Republican poll
ticians, also, who opposed the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Clough, worked against
him quietly. Under the circumstances,
the smallness Of his majority is less
surprising than the fact Of his success
against such a combination of hostile
forces
Again it was the Democratic vote, es-
pecially Of business men, who had no
distrust Of Mr.. Lind, but feared the tri-
umph of the Populist party behind
him, that accomplished the result. It
would be unfair, in counting the influ-
ences at work, to omit the fact that
Mr.. Clough had the assistance, in the
management of his campaign, of one
Of the ablest political generals in this
country in the person of Mr. Tams Blk
by. TO him more than to any other one
man the governor owes his election
And now that this issue is settled, and
Mr. Clough is to be governor of the
state for the next two years by a fair
vote of the people, let us all admit that
he has done well in the last two, and
give him his due as freely as we have
criticised and shall criticise his official
acts wherever they seem to deserve it.
With Mr.. Lind there will abide the sat-
isfaction. scarcely less complete, we be-
lieve, to a man of his temperament
and views Of public duty than a
success at the polls, of having made a
phenomenal campaign and a wonder
full record in this year CT the landslide;
not to Republicanism, but away from
the opposition, because Of it's connee-
ton with the Chicago platform and the
Populist organization.

AN UNWITTING INSULT.

Without thought, in a spasm of SEN
timent we believe, and certainly with
out consulting the party named, the
Milwaukee Journal suggests and urges
the ACCESSIBILITY Of the appointment Of
Gen. E. S. Bragg to a position in the
cabinet Mr.. Mckinley will have to
select. If we know anything about the
sturdy old soldier he will promptly put
his foct down cn this proposition with
a Vigor that will utterly squelch it.
He has shown too fine and high a
sense Of s0ldierly honor and pride to
receive now with acquiescence a. prof
fer of seat in Mr.. McKinley's cabinet
as reward for services rendered. not
to Mr.. Mckinley, his party or his
cause, but rendered as a sacrifice upon
the altar Of Democracy.
The suggestion. If not made without
thought, evinces an entire misconcep-
ton Of the spirit that led Gen. Bragg
to lead a revolt from his party. as if
led the mugwumFs in 1884 tc refuse
their support to Mr.. Blaine. 1t was
one CT the taunts their late companions
threw at those men that they would
receive their reward at the hands Of
the men whom they were helping in
directly and unwillingly, just as Bragg
has helped Mckinley. Mr.. Cleveland
himself so little appreciated the mo-
tives that actuate6 men like Curtis
and SchurZ that he rendered one OF
them cabinet position and the other
a foreign mission. Each was prompt
~ and emphatically, but courteously
declined. They could not and would
not have price thus set upon their
patriotism. The stain that will always
rest upon the maine OF Clay was put
there when he accepted office in
Adams cabinet after having aided in
his election. The very qualities that
impel men to break away, as did Curtis
and Schurz then, and Bragg, Palmer
and the host cf Democrats this time,
would make them shrink as from con-
tact with something foul from an offer
Of preferment from the administra-
ton of the opposition. That their ac-
lions aided Its success was the drop
Of gall added to- the bitterness of De-
ing compelled TO oppose their former
party comrades. -,
We have mentioned the case OF
