A Disunifying Force.

That describes Mr.. Low in his relations
to the Greater New York politics. Only
infatuation could have imagined ever that
MIR. Low could by any possibility become
"a unifying force against the party of the
Organized Democracy. That the thousands
OF partisan citizens who last year followed
MCKINLEY and honest money, should at
the next election whirl around and follow
him, Low, n Mugwump by repute and
practice, nominated on n platform in OPP
position to that of the Republicans, was the
conception of crazy self.conccit or personal
ambition so intense as to be Indifferent to
the Republican cause.
The Republican organization, in whose
name BRYAN was defeated, knows itself to
be engaged in too serious business for it to
fold its flag and surrender to the Mugwumps
even before striking a blow at the Organized
Democracy. a single dispassionate look at
the political situation was enough to show
that the unifying force to defeat Tammany
in the next election could not be Mr.. Low.
No public duty that n be gain
said" will ever compel Mr.. Low to run
for Mayor of New York.
On the contrary, Nh. Low has been dis
turbance and cause of disintegration in
anti.Tammanyism. If he desires to restore
to Columbia some of the dignity of which
his new plunge into politics has deprived
her, and to regain for himself again the
character of n thoroughly sensible and pub.
lic.spirited citizen, Mr.. Low will withdraw
from the canvass to nominate him for
Mayor II give unity u chance.

"This organization has no threats to utter, but

Political leaders who fail to make allow

A Singular Declaration from Canada

The Montreal Herald describes in a sim
gle sentence the public sentiment when,
according to its observation, exists aO
present in the Dominion with regard to tne
United States:
There Is moro irritation and resentment IN 'ne
attitude OF the Canadian people toward the un''ed
states than wa can remember TO have existed TOT a
score Of years"
The same journal speaks Of the relations
between Canada and the United States as
those of "cnmity."
Is that really so2 Nothing like 1t Is per.
ccptible on this side of the line. The atti.
tnue OF the people of the United States to-
ward their Canadian n%eighbors seems to he
what it has always been. tolerant, friendly
and truly benevolent.

Deep buried under the ground;
No light comes to his little eyes
And he can hear no sound.
Poor Beauty was as smart a cat

He used to catch all the squirrels and mice
That was n nuisance unto me.
And when I'd he gone IN late in the dav,
Poor beauty would meet me along the way,
Ho would lie down and purr and pnrr and sing,
He was so glad that l had come home again.
Poor Beauty once did sport and play
Among my grass AMI grain,
But now poor ncanty's body Is dead
And 1t can feel no pain.
Poor Beauty has no soul to save,
No God wherein to trust:
So little Reauty's body will 70
Back to the mother dust.
Ash turned and went from his grave away,
The tears ran down my cheeks;
NV heart was filled with grief and pain
To think poor Beauty had no soul that I could meet
again.

! thought II over, then | thank my God
/ was not n cat-I hal a soul
That would live forevermore.
But. oh. how lonely I am now
When no Beauty ] hear meowt
His little steps | hear no more.
For Beauty Is gone fOrevcrmore.
And that Is the way with all things heret
Though we may love them ever so dear,
They Will all die and pass away:
