A REUNITED RACE.

The following is the poem complete,
written by Poet Laureate Alfred Austin,
which has attracted so much attention in
England;
What is the voice hear
On the winds of the Western sea?
Sentinel, listen from out Cape Clear
And say what the voice may be.
IT'S proud, free people calling loud to
people proud and free,
And it says, "kinsmen, hail, we sever
ed have been too long.
Now let us have done with worn out
tale
The tale of an ancient wrong;
And our friendship last long as love
doth last.
And be stronger than death is strong,
Answer them, sons of the self. same race
And blood of the self-same clan;
Let us speak with each other face to face
And answer as man to man;
And Loyalty love and trust each other as
none but freemen can.
Now fling them out the breeze,
Shamrock, thistle and rose;
And the star spangled banner unfurl
with these
A message to friends and foes,
Wherever the sails of peace are seen and
whenever the war wind blows.
A message to bond and thrall to wake,
For, wherever we come, we twain,
The throne of the tyrant shall rock and
quake,
And his menace be void and vain;
For you are lords of strong, young
land, we are lords of the main.
Yes, this is the voice of the bluff March
gale,
We severed have been too long,
But now we have done with WORKOUT
tale
The tale of an ancient wrong;
And our friendship last long as love
doth last,
And be stronger than death is strong.

DINGLEY LAW.

The improvement in business con-
ditions among the manufacturers OF
the country is pointed out in a recent
dispatch from Pittsburg, that great
center of the manufacturing industry.
which says: President McKinley's
administration has resulted in a great
increase of prosperity for Pittsburg
and the State. Looking back over the
past year there has been steady and
unbroken advance in the amount Of
work for mills and factories of all
kinds. There are few idle men in the
manufacturing communities and the
number has been still greatly reduced
by drafts upon the workmen of this
secti on by Southern manufacturers,
who are also crowded with business. :"
The Democratic leaders are work
ing" the Populists with their usual
success in those sections where they
have been able to induce them to ser
iously consider the fusion proposition.
In Oregon they have made a complete
flu sion by which they give the Popu-
| lists the Governorship and some other
State officers, shrewdly retain the
members of Congress for themselves
and their allies, who sail under the
name of "Silver Republicans. This
is simply part Of the general scheme
by which the Democrats hope to OBJ
tain the cooperation of the Populists
and themselves get all the advantages
from national standpoint, leaving
the Populists few crumbs of State
patronage and keeping them in a
position where they can haye no in
fluence in national affairs.
