Maine G0ssam
The Golf Girl.

In jaunty scarlet jacket,
And mannish little shoe
a hat with quill and tartan.
And skirt to clear the dew,
On the grassy links | see her
Every glorious summer day.
And forget to mind my putting
While | watch her graceful play.
We have met in dreamy waltzes
When rose was on her breast,
But her partner at the bunkers
Is the one who, knows her best.
Though the ball is lost forever
And her hair is out of curl
Nothing spoils the sunny temper
OF the pretty golting girl.
If all women once were flowers.
As an ancient legend tells,
She has bloomed a Sprig of heather
On the breezy Scottish fells,
For the wind that roamS the bracken
And the blue of morning skies
Still is ripping in her laughter,
Still is beaming from her eyes.
But in, gray or golden weather,
Stepping lightly to the tees,
Making drives with daring swiftness,
"Holing OUT with merry ease,
To the painted balls not only
Does she bring the golfers arts,
For with Cupid as her caddie
She is playing with our hearts.
-Minna Irving, in Leslie's Weekly.

after its incorporation is yet living, he
now being SO years old. He is not the
oldest man in the town, but Mr.. Chan

There is difference of several genera

Two Platforms.

The platforms adopted by the recent
Democratic state convention in Mary
land, and the Republican state con-
vention in Iowa have been given an
unusual amount of attention in cur
rent political discussion, owing to
their special significance at this time
in indicating the trend of party pol
icy. Maryland is the home of eX-
Senator German, the ablest ana
shrewdest political manager in the
Democratic party. Iowa is the home or
Hon. ID. b. Henderson, the next
Speaker of the National House OF
Representatives., who will occupy a
position that in positive power ana
influence, is second only to the presi-
dency itself. Naturally, therefore, the
official utterances of the Democratic
and Republican state conventions re-
spectively in these two states are
fraught with more than ordinary mo-
ment and are generally taken to indi-
cate the positions that will be taken
by the two parties in the coming ma
tional campaign. AS we have already
stated the chief difference between
the two platforms is the difference be-
tween definiteness and Indebtedness
The Iowa platform is made up of
clear and positive statements of prin-
ciple. There is no evasion, neither is
there any attempt to avoid committals
by tricks of circumlocution. Any one
who can read the English language
may know precisely what is meant.
1t is throughout a frank. straightfor-
ward, plain enunciation of we'll
formed convictions upon the great cur
carries the ring of truth and SINGER
ity. In marked contrast is the plat
form of the Maryland Democracy.
This is essentially a string of plati-
tudes. 1t deals almost exclusively in
glittering generalities, any one of
which may be interpreted in at least
a dozen ways. Whenever there is any
danger of approaching definiteness of
statement the subject under consider
alton is so thoroughly obscured in a
fog of verbiage as to still invest it
with the element of doubt. If ex-Sen-
ator German did not write it he at
least saw that it was thoroughly Cor
manized. The most notable dstinc-
tions between these two platforms are
admirably shown in parallel columns
by the Baltimore American as follows:
