CURRENT LITERATURE.

THE month of April, 1898, has taken
its place in American history by the
side of the memorable Aprils of 81 and
'65. April indeed has been an eventful
month, this year, and nowhere have its
dramatic incidents been more ably set
forth than in the editorial departments
of the american Monthly Reuie,o of
Reviews for May. The diplomatic,
financial, political, and military phases
of the Cuban situation are exhaustively
reviewed in the illustrated progress
of the World" and "Record of Current
Events" down to the outbreak of hos
tllties between the United States and
Spain, while "The War Question in
Cartoons" and Leading Articles of the
Month" throw important side-lights on
on the discussion.
THE Arena for May is accented with
strong and characteristic features.
Every live citizen of our country should
not fail to read John Clark Ridpath's
stirring, instructive, and most truthful
paper, President Mckinley and the
Waldorf-Astorian Revel. We would
also recommend that President McKin-
ley give the article careful perusal.
The leading article, entitled The Great
Slave Power, by Senator William M.
Stewart, of Nevada, sets forth and en-
phasizes the analogy of the money
despotism in America to the systems Of
human slavery which formerly pre-
vailed, demonstrating the more intol-
cradle pressure of the former.
GoDEY's MAGAZINE for MAY opens
with thirty-two page special supple
ment containing large pictures of the
"War Ships of our Navy" These pic
lures are from the latest photographs
and form superb souvenir that is to-
day peculiarly timely. People desiring
to follow the course of naval events in
future, will, by the aid of these pictures,
be able to quickly place each ship
Alright. The leading feature of the is
sue is the beginning of the new novel,

Pool. This is one of Miss POOLS charac-
teristically strong stories, and will not
fail to interest its readers to its close.

artist, Fletcher G. Ransom.

God Is Undismayed.

If should tell you that ofttimes doubt
That God is good, that Justice reigns, that out
or loss comes gain; oft doubt that pain and care
Are angels in disguised should tell you there
Are days when life itself seems great boon
Since all life Swallowed is or late or soon.
Your troubled eyes, friend would search my face,
Perplexed and anxious at this fall from grace,
But God is undismsyed.
He only knows how little can ses
In this dim light, of His great plan for me
And for His World; how phantoms black and grim
Brandish their awful arms twixt and Him
Till seemed forced to doubt His love and power
While in the darkness fearfully cover.
He only knows how real they are to me,
How far he seems when cry pleadingy;
Yet he is undismayed.
And He knows, too, that this thick cloud of doubt
That STILES, blinds me as grope about,
Ia but the shifting, wind-blown surface sand,
Meath which the ground Ia firm wherein stand
He knows that just ahead the palm trees grow.
With cool springs bubbling in their shade, and so
A bove the dust, the tumult and the strife
OF myriad forces in this human life,
He watcheth undismayed.
Fen while doubt Him In His plying love
He draws me closer; though the heavens above
Are black with storm, and in my dull despair
feel no pressure. still His arms are there,
And will not let me fall. Through all the maze
OF doubt know God is, and in those days
When Ger my soul the scorching doubt-winds blow,
1t comforteth my tired heart to know
That he is undismayed.
Thou who in the desert dwelt apart,
Answer the wordless prayers that from my heart
Wing their swift flight into the great unknown,
And In my desert leave me not alonei
Give me endurance, courage, till each doubt,
Dark browed and grim at last be put to rout

Don't Worry, Dear,

Don't worry, dear; the bleakest years
That clog the forward view
Each thins to nothing when 1t nears,
And we may saunter through,
The darkest moment never comes,
1t only looms before;
The loss Of hope is what benumbs,
Not trouble at the door.
Don't worry. dear; the clouds are black,
But with them comes the rain,
And stified souls that parch and crack
May thrill with sap again.
The burden bear as best we can,
And therel be none to bear;
Hard work has never killed man,
But worry did its share.
Don worry. dear; don't blanch. don't yield,
But dare the years to come;
Nor give the enemy the field
Because he beats his drum.
These little woes that hover near
Are nothing, though they gall;
We know that life is love, my dear,
And life and love are all.

Bless Thou the Guns.

Hid In earth's caverns deep,
In the cold ores asleep,
Or in the lightning's thrall,
Force waits for Freedoms CALI
Out of the mountains old
Thou gav'st the iron we mold,
And the stern, tempered steel
To liberty we SEAL
May we thy gifts Of might
Use well to serve the right;
And may our righteous wrath
Leave clear for peace path
Bless thou the gunsi
Not worn with ancient hate
We the first shock await;
Not that our Saxon kin
Hemmed the Armada in,
But that thy word may be
No empty prophecy;
That faith may rise, restored
By the avenging sword.
We out of peaceful ways
Turn to the power that Stays.
Out Of the battles flame
Lord, bring us free from blame
Bless thou the guns
Lord, at our very door,
Death clutches at thy poor,
And stricken liberty
Raises her hands TO thee;
Lord, tits our task to do
II thy own words be truel
Thou who the stars has blent
In the flags armament
Thou who to freedoms hand
Gav'st the new Western land,
Thou who didst Israel lead
Forth, free Of Pharaoh's greed,
Bless thou the guns

G. M. Cleveland, in some questions
published in the Times Herald Though
he does not sign his name to them)
asks me "why have you not een to it
that a lawful equalization of our as
sessments was made that Fall River
county might enjoy the benefits of a
tax legally laid?" In answer I say
that since I have been states attorney
1 have seen tn it so far as it has been
within my power that the taxes we re
all legally laid. And in addition to
that, 1 prepared and sont to Senator
Wilson aud Representative Dickover a
bill to legalize the taxes Of previous
years, the same taxes that Cleveland
was trying to knock out by his suits.
Before the passage of the bill Mr.. Will
SON received an urgent letter from G.
NJ. Cleveland asking Wilson to vote
and work against the bill. Why did
he do this? was it because he was
periodically trying to help the county,
as he tries to claim? Or was it be-
cause he vas afraid the bill, if it be-
a law, would defeat those tax
suits he had brought on the half
shares.

POUND THE RAILROADS,

Recently Senator Pettigrew made
ono of his characteristic speeches in
pounding the railroads, sin which he
declared without qualification that the
Milwaukee railroad never paid a divi-
dend before they built their Dakota
lines and had never passed one SINCE"
Col. John II. King doubted that state
ment and wired the officials for the
facts, and was told that the company
paid dividends several years before
the construction of it's Dakota lines,
and stopped paying dividends on it's
common stock in October, 1888, and
did not pay on it between that time
and April, 1888" That was "another
lie nailed" Mr.. King then gives the
following interesting facts:
"South Dakota has 76 miles of rail-
road to every 10000 people; Iowa only
80 miles to every 10000 people or twice
as many people to support every mile
as South Dakota; Illinois has three
times as many people per every milo of
railroad; yet the same mileage book is
good in South Dakota as in Illinois
and Iowa and neither freight nor pas
senger local rates proportionately as
high. Freight rates on the G. M. s. st.
p, Northwestern, and Burlington
roads have decreased about three fold
in the past % years having been about
Sc per ton per mile then, and now 1c
per ton per mile on the average for all
freight. What the people want in this
campaign is the truth"
