Grandfather S Farm

Visions often haunt the mind,
And bing back days that seem
Like stories that we love to tind
Or some fond, tender Dream
But of the visions that appear
None has a greater charm,
None is to me so sweet and clear
AS my grandfather's farm.
Twas there the sheep-nose apples grew,
Twas there | always found
The peppermint | loved to chew,
And minnows did abound
Within the brook W hich there did pass,
So gently and so clear,
That flowers had a looking-giass
Through nearly ali the year.
The t1ocks upon the rugged hills
l always love to see,
l love to hear the robins trills,
Tie bluebird's melody,
For there all nature seemed content,
Protected from all harm:
Twas there day was quickly spent,
Upon grandfather's farm
The barns with mows of well-cured hay
There babe me to explore,
Like Stanley in far Africa,
Their jungles DER and Ger;
The corn-crlb with its yellow ears,
The strawstack and the sheds;
neSe We're enough LOT boy careers,
And eager feet and heads.
Grandmother's doughnuts were the best,
And best her pies did seem;
But, since grandmother is at rest,
These, too, are but d DREAM
The smiling kiss she always gave,
And the entwining arm,
The "good. by'-they are in the grave,
Near by grandfathers farm.
No more shall those sweet days pass,
For one sad day as made
Another grave beneath the grass
W here grandfather was land;
And now as l go here and there,
l find no place to charm,
And often after evening prayer
Think of grandfather's farm
Let theirs eat the apples now,
Let others watch the sheep,
To time and fate they too, shall bow,
And, like grandfather, Sleep
But shall still sweet visions have
I'm sure it does no harm
And while | on the earth do i've,
I'll dream of that old farm.

BRIDGE WORKERS
Strike at Cleveland and q Can
ton Concern Was
Interested.

Cleveland Leader: The strike which
was inaugurated by the men employed
on the Crocker block on Superior street
last Friday will probably be settled
this morning. The demand of the men
Is that none but union men shall be en-
ployed on the block. The Wrought
Iron Bridge Co., of Canton, is the firm
which has the contract for remodeling
the Crocker block. The strikers claim
that the Canton company sent union
men and non-union men to Cleveland to
work on the block The iron workers
were the first to strike, and the plaster
ers, bricklayers, carpenters and other
workers on the building soon followed
They demanded that none but Cleveland
union workmen be employed. The men
made their demands to the foreman
who was sent to Cleveland by the Can
ton company to oversee the work. He
stated that he was unable to sign any
agreement with the men without the
consent of the officers of the company.
He notified the company however, and
yesterday the general manager came to
Cleveland and opened negotiations with
the strikers. The foreman stated to a
Leader reporter yesterday that the
strike would be amicably settled today.
One OF the strikers said that the men
had no grievance on the question of wa
ges or working hours, but the men
would hold out until the union was rec
ognized. He said that there were about
thirty-siX men engaged in the strike.

but the Republican press attacks you
so sharply that it would seem you had
attacked Republican doctrine in attack
ing the trusts"
'"rhen those papers do not represent
the Republican party any more than DO
some of the leaders who are identified
with trust interests. They attack me
because said the protection should be
taken off trust-made articles. 1 re-
peat it, The Republican party does not
need the men who are in support of the
trusts. They are serving their private
interests, neither the interests of their
party nor Of their country. The people
cannot be made to believe that they
need the trusts and the people will
prevail in the end In spite of party
leaders or party press"
How would you remedy the evils
that have grown up with the trusts?"
"By legislation of the most drastic
character. There should be no hesi-
fancy in applying the ak to the root of
the evil, and If protection of the trust
industries is responsible for the trusts,
then protection must go, and mind you,
am a firm believer in the theory and
practice of protection. 1t has bred
trusts in some degree.
1T must be so far appealed. And
insist that 1 am Republican and a
good one. State legislatures should take
the matter up earnestly and in con-
junction with the national government
should enact laws making combinations
of capital impossible How is that to
be done? / don't know. 1 am simply
pointing out the evil. The law makers
must find the remedy. And they will
find it."

What Shall We Do,

A serious and dangerous disease pre-
walls in this country, dangerous because
so deceptive. 1t comes on so slowly vet
surely that it is often firmly seated before
we are aware of it
The name Of this disease which NAV
be divided into three distinct sta es is,
first, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain
in the back, rheumatism, lumbago, FREE
Quent desire to urinate, often with a
burning sensation, the flow of urine
being copious or scant with strong odor
If allowed to advance, this reaches the
second stage, or Bladder trouble, with
heavy pain in the abdomen low down
between the navel and the water passage,
increasing desire to urinate, with scald-
ing sensation in passing, small quantities
being passed with difficulty, sometimes
necessary to draw it with instruments.
If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will
prove dangerous if neglected
The third stage is Brights Disease.
There is comfort in knowing that DIR.
Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder
specialist, has discovered a Remedy ia
NOUS for its marvellous cures of the most
distressing cases and known as DIR, Kill
mer's Swamp-Root.
1t is sold by all druggists.
AS proof of the wonderful virtues
of this great discovery, Swamp Root, a
sample bottle and book of valuable infor-
nation will be sent absolutely free by
mail on application to DR.. Kilmer q Co,
Binghamton, n. Y. When writing kind
ly mention that you read this liberal Of
fer in THE WATERFOWL REPUBLICAN.

A Happy New Year.

In keeping with a time-honored
| custom The REPUBLICAN wishes it's
friends and readers a happy and pros
| porous new year, and many a return
! Of the same. The year just passed
has been, in a material sense, a de-
cided improvement over it's prede-
cessor, and our people have especial
reasons to be very thankful for the
blessings a benefcent Providence has
vouchsafed them. Our state has
been free from famine and pestilence,
and while there may have been a few
isolated cases of restitution in our
city, on the whole we have enioyed
a greater immunity from the grim
monster poverty than for several
years past. Wise economic laws have
enabled our agricultural classes to
realize much more satisfactory remu-
neratiOn from the fruits of their toll;
our mechanics and laboring men have
had the busiest season for years; and
our merchants, who carry lines of
goods creditable to any city in the
state, have increased their trade two
fold. The manufacturing Industries
of the city, while not of the magni-
tude desirable, have no reason to
complain of a lack OF patronage; but
on the contrary, many of them were
taxed to the utmost limit of their ca
pacity to fill the orders of their Gus
toners. THE REPUBLICAN has had
substantial proof of the improvement
so generally noticeable, and is proud
to notify its friends and patrons that
the year 1898 has been one of the most
profitable since it's foundation. Hoping
our beautiful city may continue to
enjoy the same freedom from disaster
and disease, and that the coming year
will be laden with the manifold bless
ings of Divine Providence, it es-
teens it great privilege to wish it's
readers many returns of the Happy
New Year.
