Some day, some where, our summons will come
And wen lay down the burdens we bear
And join the throng who with gay, glad song,
Walt to welcome US over there.
Some day, some where. we know not when
We can not guess-we do not dare
To try to fathom tine mystery
Held In those words, some day, some where.
Some day, some where, the brain grows tired,
And phantoms fill the ambient air,
And we bear them DER again In joy and pain,
In sadness and mirth, some day, some where.
Some day, some where, still ringing on
Down the gilded steps Of life's bright stair,
And the echo comes back down the winding
track
Like the wall of ghost, some day, some where.
Some day, some where, and the head bows low
Meath its crown OF silvery hair
And the days grow dreary, and the heart so
weary
As those words ring on, some day, some where

Political Notes.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Ad.
miral Schley will, without doubt,
yet be forced to face a court OF
inquiry regarding his acts off the
coast of Cuba and since then.
For the present moment he es-
capes this by being ordered to
sea, but while he is absent his
enemies here in Washington will
be active, and later, the court
must come up, and then the
whole case between Sampson
and Schley will be gone over.
There is not the slightest
question that Secretary Long
and Admiral Crowninshield,
who is the head of the Bureau
of Navigation, want an immedi-
ate investigation of Schley.
There is not the slightest doubt
that they recently asked the
President to order a court of
inquiry, but they were refused.
LII would Oe an extremely rash
political move just at this time,
before the assembling of Con-
gress, to order a court of inquiry
upon an official so widely popu-
lar with the people as is Schley.
The tack that will be pursued
by Schley's enemies is to make
his case an issue in the Navy
Department. They will even go
to such lengths as running a
chance of damaging the service
for the purpose of bringing hum
iliation upon Schley. Therefore,
for the good of the service, the
President will later be forced to
order a court of inquiry to clear
up the whole matter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Gen-
eral John M. Palmer of Illinois,
who was a candidate for Presi-
dent on the Gold Democratic
ticket in 1896, is in the city and
has made most remarkable pol
itical statement. General Palmer
talking about the issues for 1900
said this
''rhe leading issues for 1900
will be anti-expanson, anti-mili-
tarism, ti-trusts. At least
these will be the Democratic
slogans. The nomination of Mr..
Bryan is in my opinion fore
gone conclusion. He will be
nominated and I predict that he
will be elected President in spite
of his radical views on silver"
Such a statement coming from
General Palmer is a pretty i'm
portant political utterance, in
that it indicates the reuniting of
the Democratic forces under the
leadership of Bryan. 1t shows
that the effort to bring all class
es of Democrats together is
meeting with success, another
remarkable instance of this being
Croker's espousal of Bryan's
cause.
NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-Richard
Croker. who is to sail for Europe
tomorrow, was interviewed to-
day at the Democratic club. He
said
II want to say before my de-
parture for Europe, that William
j. Bryan will be the standard
bearer of the Democratic party
in the next national campaign.
The fight will be against trusts
and imperialism and Mr.. Bryan
is the only man to lead such a
fight. Tammany hall will give
him it's heartiest support, you
may rest assured of that.
mo running mate for Mr..
Bryan has been selected yet.
Several names have been under
consideration, but no decision
has been arrived at.
There is not any truth at all, 4"
said Mr.. Croker, ''in the state
ment that Senator German and I
had been talking together about
another candidate. | have not
changed my opinion about Bryan.
l believe that he is stronger than
ever before, and that he is just
the man we want for next year.
