tury-)
l have sung of the soldiers glory
As 1 never shall sing again,
have gazed on the shambies CORY,
l have smeiled of the slaughier-pen.
There is blood in the ink-well eiotted.
There are stains on the laurel leaf
And the pages of Fame are blotted
With the tears of a needless grief.
The bird is slaughtered for fashion.
And the beast is killed for sport;
And never the word compassion
Is whispered at Nolochs court
For the parent seal In the water
Is slain. and her child must die
That some sister or wife or daughter
her beauty may beautify.
And the merciful thought We smother
For such is the wan of man
As We murder the useless mother
For the unborn astrakhan.'
But season of rest somes never
For the rarest sport of all:
VIII hls patience endure forever,
Who noteth a sparrow's fall?
When the volleys of hell are sweeping
The sea and she battle plain,
Do you think that our God is sleeping,
And never to wake again?
When hunger and ravenous fever
Are Staying the wasted frame
Shall we worship the red deceiver.
The devil that men call Fame?
We may swing the censor to cover
The odor of blood-in vain;
God asks us. over and over.
Where is thy brother Cain?"

The Candidate Says Maine Democrats
stin stick to silver.

Lewiston. June II. .-George FIR ed Will
liams of Boston and John Scott Of Bath,
Democratic candidate for Congress, ad-
dressed Democratic mass meeting in
city hall this evening. MIR. Williams re-
oeived an ovation. He said that he was a
full believer in the new democracy of 1896
and would never return to the democracy
of Grover Cleveland. The masses of the
people should be represented by party
pledged to see that they are not subjected
to undue burdens. He defended the in
come tax. Referring to the silver ques-
tien he said that the characterization of
silver had resulted In shrinkage OF
property values from year to year. The
restoration of silver would result in in
crease Of values and new impetus to in
dustry. The trust was the legitimate Off
spring of the gold standard 1t could not
be legislAted against effectually but
would be destroyed by competition when
industry was put upon Its feet and prices
increased by the restoration of silver. He
denounced Secretary Cages proposition
to retire greenbacks and empower nation
al banks to issue bonds to so per cent OF
their capital. In closing he referred TO
Bryan as the next President.
Mr.. Scott denied in his speech the state.
ment of National Committeeman Gordon
that the Democrats OF Maine had had
enough of the silver issue.
