Each lover fond was wont to rave
About his ladys eyes and hair.
Each sang his loved one's charms in verse
Eager her loveliness to praise
And some was bad and some was worse,
In earlier days.
In earlier davs each lady fair
Took all this homage as her due.
Though the verse limped, she did not care.

A correspondent Of the Boston Transcript
who is trotting around Luzon with General
Lawton's nimblefooted troops relates an
incident that speaks for itself. "At Bacoor,'
he writes, I'VE were met by General Grant.
Some 1870 marines were waiting in the road.
An officer, fearful of having violated some
of the petty jealousies of the army and navy,
exclaimed to General Lawton, General, l
did not ask for the co operation Of the navy;
they asked several times If they could par
take in the engagement, so I allowed them
to come
"As though it made any difference to Gen
eral Lawton whether the navy should get
some little credit that the army would like
to have. He smiled and remarked, Certainly,
let them come along; it will be a good ex-
perience. "

duels, Colonel Thomas H. Ochltree, rushes
to the defense of Admiral Dewey, as though

York Herald he says:
Certain degenerate ours of today whine
and bark at the great admiral for a chival-
rous and gracious act that Chevalier Bay
ard might have envied.

dispatch to the war Office in London saying,
This army can go anywhere and do any
thing If were a member of congress

would permit the Hero of Manila to go

pleased

the taxpayers and best citizens of
this community will give it their
cordial and enthusiastic support.
Every man on the ticket will be
elected. The candidates are men
OF integrity and we'll known busi-
ness ability and viii give this city
clean and progressive admins
tration.
The simon pure law and order
folks. who claim to have a mort
gage on decency and respectability,
hold uP their hands in holy horror
at the presumption OF man who
laws some claim TO decency sup
porting the citizens's ticket. They
are led in the hold up act by that
valiant champion of law and order
and virtuous respectability, MIR. c.
l.. Seeley, who is gem, in this
line, OF the purest ray serene. He
is ambitious to become water com
missioner in the event that his
ticket is elected.
Mr.. Sherman, the candidate for
n,avor, consented to make the race
with great deal OF reluctance
He realizes, as does every sensi-
BILE and fair minded man, that the
great hue and cry raised by few
municipal place seekers, that the
candidates OF the citizens ticket
are opposed to law and order and
the moral interests of the town is
simply the veriest rot, pure and
undulterated. Mr.. Sherman de-
clareds in this Office yesterday
morning that he would give sIoo
to have his name taken from the
head of the ticket, which is the
best evidence Of his lack of faith
in the Justice OF the cause which
he represents.
The alleged law and order peo
PIE know full well that they are not
possessed of an issue, nor can
they make one. Their ticket was
conceived by men who have been
perennial candidates for municipal
Office ever since the town was IN
corporated, and who are Jealous of
the present efficient corps of Of
ficials and want them ousted from
Office to make room for themselves.
Even the Daily Democrat, that
sterling advocate OF Jeffersonian
principles, is SO enraptured with
the personnel of both tickets that
it does not deign to choose be-
tween them. 1t says "that for the
Democrat to make stand against
our neighbors, where there seems
to be distinction without differ
ence, is out OF the question. The
Democrat places both tickets at
the head OF its editorial columns.
