EPlGRAMS FROM EQUITY"

"A mortgage on a farm is usually a
sign OF prosperity-to the mortgage
holder.
The man who presents %falsehoods in
defense of truth Injuries the cause h,
would aid.
"A mortgage on a newspaper plant Of
ten has a great influence on the politi-
cal opinions of the editor.
The man who waits to advocate a re-
form until it becomes popular shows
that he loves popularity more than the
right.
From the amount of ''protection'
the sugar trust demands, one might be
led to suppose it was a Sweet young
thing"
People who are too indolent to study
the problems of the day often assume a
superior moral tone to cover their in
dolence.
Prosperity cannot come to the masses
while those who profit by the adversely
OF the masses retain the reins of gov
eminent.
When men can apologize for dishon.
esty in public officials they will soon be
able to apologize for dishonesty in
themselves.
There was never a job for the bene-
fit of plutocracy lobbied through con-
gress or legislature that was not la
beled as a bill for the relief Of the peo-
pie.
When men like John Wanamaker
declare that there is revolution in the
air it is evident that the political heav-
ems are growing dark.
If men will not allow other men to
work for bread they should not COM
plain at having to furnish bread for
those whom they will not allow to
work.

Waiting for the Wave.

You told us that a billow of prosperity
would flow
A mighty w~aye-across the land from
Maine to Mexico;
That the mills would all be opened and
lost confidence restored,
Aud the banks would loosen up" their
grip upon the golden hoard.
We are testing now the virtue of the
golden cure" to save,
And are waiting, waiting, waiting.
calmly waiting for the wave.
You said the glorious flag Of thrift. at
nee would be unfurled.
And wave again in gladness DER The
reconstructed world;
That hopes effulgent beams would
shine in flood of living light,
And raven-winged despair would a
her everlasting flight.
That these grand things would happen
you your solemn promise gave.
And now we're waiting, waiting. calm.
ly waiting for the wave.
Yes, all these things would happen.
we were confidently told,
If we'd vote for Buckeye Billy and the
single standard gold.
But now we're on our uppers from
tramping through the streets,
In search Of work, to earn wherewith
to buy our bread and meat.
We voted as you said we should, in
hopes the way to pave
To better times. and now we're sadly
waiting for the wave.
We've been waiting, waiting, patiently,
for 10, these many days,
And watching for the rosy dawn to
greet anxious gaze,
Till Jul wardrobes are depleted, and
our larders running low,
And the interest on the mortgage due,
and we are out of dough-"
But hope deferred will drive us pre-
maturely to the grave,
If we have to wait much longer for the
coming of the wave.

LONDON. July "a, 1897.
MY DEAR FRIEND:
On our arrival here last Monday we
received your most welcome letter,
with Mrs. HIS. enclosed, and also one
from Mother +. and Mrs. Blair. 1t is
unnecessary to say that we were great
ly pleased. III just inform you now,
though, that it is fortunate for you that
you decided to write TO US, or else when
we get home you would have got
such hauling over that you would
have wanted to move of from the
block. You may want to move yet.
You are having "a qeiet, peaccable
time of IL now. Enjoy it the best you
can, for soon those Hoffman and Eric
son ''gad abouts" will be home again,
| and then all will be confusion and blow.
Especially the latter.
1t has been very warm today, and we
have put in hard days work. Ih,s
morning we visited the London Tower.
The regalia room contained Queen Vic
tora's crown, which is n very elegant
cap of velvet, richly decorated with
diamonds and other precious stones
also st. Edwards and the Prince %
| Wales ocrowns, and others. There
| we're two immense golden platters, a
| half dozen or more salt cellars (frOm
eight TO ten inches high), golden
scepters, coronation bracelets, royal
bracelets, and don't know what all.
These are all enclosed in the center Of
the room in large glass case, and that
is enclosed in an iron cage. There are
| also other glass cases containing valu-
| ables. The contents of this room are
valued at sI5, 100000 We visited the
armory rooms, which were interesting
From here we went to the Tower
bridge, which is the finest in London.
Next we went to Westminster Abbey
It is massive church. The walls are
crowded with monuments of all kinds.
Underneath the floor are the graves ol
many notable persons. Henry VII
Chapel contains many of the bodies o
kings, queens and notables. In thi.
room is the old chair on which every
king or queen has been crowned since
about the year 1900. The chair hal
not been used since Queen Victoria was
crowned until now by the queen at the
Jubilee exercises. We went through
the houses of parliament. The house
of lords is large hall lighted b,
twelve painted windows, with portraits
of the monarchs of England and theil
queens. The queens throne is quite
gorgeous.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

Well, we went to the Congregational
church (City Temple) this morning
and listened to DR.. Joseph Parker, who
is considered powerful speaker. But
we thought it would be pleasanter to
listen to Mr.. Taggart, and right glad
we will be to get home and attend the
little brown church around the corner.
We spent one day at the British
Museum. 1t is stupendous. There is
50 much to be seen that one Can only
skim over it. We are to spend another
day there. We spent one day in the
natural history museum OF South Ken
sinpton. 1t is fine l just wish our
bows could spend a week there. There
is everything imaginable, from i'm
mense skeletons, meteOric minerals,
mounted animals and birds OF all kinds
and sizes, and shells varying in size
from those of immense turtles down to
tiny ones not rs large as pin heads.
The collection of humming birds was
beautiful. We have never visited any
mnseum where each collection was SC
complete as here.
We we're in several Of the different
law courts one day. The judges and
LAWYERS wear wigs and black gowns.
The rooms were DARK and stuffy, hav.
ing moor ventilation. imagine If our
shuhbies" had to work in such rooms
there would be kick coming, but that
might be all the good it would do. But
honestly, it Is enough to give anyone
the blues, MS we'll rs to bring on indi
