DIFFICULT RHYMiNG.


The Sterling QI,l Standards Poet Per
forms y Feat.
a few years Z a Detroit newspa-
per offered a prize OF $500 to the per-
son who would send In the best
rhyme for the word chrysanthemum.
the annual show of the flower of that
name being in progress at the time.
Bishop Jenner. formerly pastor to
Queen Victoria. who had adopted De-
troit rs his home. composed II couplet
in which the flower with the jaw
breaking name rhymed with ''lican-
themum,' and made claim for the
prize. asserting that although his
newly coined word was not within the
covers of bound dictionaries, it was
entitled TO a place In the lore of i'm
agination under rules Of poetic IL
cense.
He did not expect OF receive n
prize money. getting his pay in n
much enjoyed argument with the
managing editor. n personal acQuaint-
ance.
Not to be outdone. another Detroit
paper at International Exposition time
offered 81 1000 the next fall to the per-
son sending In the bes: rhyme for
Michigan" The verselets were not
satisfactory to the joint committee ap-
pointed to PASS upon the merits Of
the competitive poetry. and the offer
was withdrawn. Now. after the lapse
OF about fifteen years. a modest and
unassuming poet has published in the
Daily Standard Of Sterling, Ill.,. n
verse. which IL included In the Detroit
competition would have taken the
prize. 1t Is as follows:
| once knew a girl from Michigan
To meet her l never should MICHIGAN
She'd eat of Ice cream
TIL with pain she would scream.
And she'd order another big dichigan.
The writer OF the above lines did
not know the price that this little
composition would have paid him. but
1t Is not too late for him to enter flu
ture rhyming contests.
The editor Of a big daily in Glas-
gov. a few years ago offered a ten
pound note to any one who would
contribute a rhyme to his paper for
the word "porrinRer." The money
was won by a grizxled Scot OF Dundee.
who wrote:
King William first a daughter had.
He gave the Prince Of Orange her:
Which makes a rhyme extremely bad
For your COMPOUNDED porringer.

FACT AND FALSElOOD.

President Mckinley II his party. 60
said former Governor Altgeld Monday
night, are so iusistent on l) the idea
hat our flag can never be hauled
down where it has once been raised
that they have forgotten t2) when II
was justly hauled down in Mexico
With all this cry of theirs. go Score
tary Hay has just signed n treaty l)
by which n strip in Alaska 100 miles
wide and several hundred miles long
is go to be given to England. and CO.
our flag is to come down"
For brevity in reference Mr.. Alt,
geId's Justification of the facts have
been numbered. What are the facts?
l The republican position in fact
is simply that our flag must not come
down on American soil. 1t has beer
raised in Picking. That is not Ameri,
can soil, and in due time it will come
down. But the Philippines. by every
title known to history. tradition, and
law. are American SOIL. From them,
the republican party insists, our flag
shall not be removed.
2 Texas o independence, but
when annexed had n boundary dispute
with Mexico. We never claimed all Of
Mexico's territory, any more than We
claimed all Of SPANS, or more of Chi
mas. To secure what we did claim we
temporarily occupied Mexico's capital,
just as to secure our rights we have
recently occupied China's. Having es-
tablished our rights, We hauled down
our flag from that part Of Mexico
which we did not claim. In the parts
which we did claim. or which We took
as indemnity, our flag has never been
hauled down.
3 No such treaty has been signed
by Mr.. Hay or by any n else in be-
half of the United States.
4 The Alaskan strip to which title
is now disputed is not one-afth the
size stated by Altgeld.
s Not even that strip has been con-
coded to England. The whole Qestion
of ownership is still to be determined.
6 Our flag will not come down in
any part Of Alaska until we admit
England is right and we are wrong.
This We never have admitted.
All this is 80 plain and true ~ to be

P~OLlTlCALNOTES

lllpSt persons "up cannot under
stand why Adlai +. Stevenson can
on the Kansas City platform after
indorsing sound money in 1892, simply
admit that they are not acquainted
with the record OF the man. Mr.. Stev-
enson is foud of holding office.
Now is the time TO speculate upon
the personality OF n Bryan cabinet.
There will be no occasion for such
pastime after election.
MIR. Bryan thinks Indiana will re-
verse its election results of 1896 and
1898. Mr.. Bryan evidently believes
that the public mind is as changablc
as his views.
II everybody could he made wealthy
by reducing the value Of the dollar.
the democratic party would be the log.
iCal custodian OF the affairs of the M,
ton.
Massachusetts is the next state the
Hon. George Fred Williams expects 10
carry.
Mr.. Bryan shows up much stronger
in the notification than he will in the
notification.
Mr.. Olney terms the Mckinley ad
miuistration ms being weak and silly
Possibly the former secretary of state
would like a comparison OF the admin
istration of which he was a couspicu
GUS part.
There are excellent reasons for be
lieving that MIR. Tillman never at
tempted to read the declaration of in
dependence to a South Carolina audi
encc.
The constituents of Mr.. Pettigrev
owe the country n duty. and there i:
every reason to believe that they will
perform it in November.
Voting for Bryan on the theory thai
a republican senate will prevent hin
putting his heresies into practice is
not a practice that will appeal strong
ly to the intelligence of the country.
The republican party is lot trying
to combat the theory that strikes make
democratic votes. The republican par
ty has devoted its time and attention
to the work of removing the democrat
ic causes for strikes and commercial
depression.
The wooziness of minister WI ap'
peals strongly to Mr.. Pettigrew. In
fact, the South Dakota statesman is
highly impressed with the Chinese
system Of government.
No recognized government opposes
the policy of the United States in the
Philippines. The entire opposition
comes from Aguiualdo and the demo
cratic party.
Failing in his effort to Joss the
Maryland republicans Mr.. Wellington
has taken the political playthings and
moved over into the democratic party
where bossism stands n better show.

ever lived, appeared last night before
an audience that tested the capacity of
the Opera House. He offered n series
OF new. masterpieces In, Oriental nccro-
Nancy and illuslonnry work. excelling
anything he has achieved in past years.
In the way of small, magic, he present
ed a number of new experiments In pure
sleight of hand, of which he is absolute
master. some of which with other per-
formers. would be entitled to place with
larger illusions. The hypnotic scene, the
levition of Princess Karnuc was one of
the most mystifying of Illusions, and
Is new this season. The projection Of
the princess through the air from one
cabinet to another was equally mystify-
Ing. All In all the performance kept the
audience guessing from start to finish.

THE MINERS
OF THIS STATE
WILL OBJECT
To the Shooting Of West Virginia
Bituminous Coal Into Anthra-
cite Region.
50 SAYS S A STATE OFFICIAL
Who is in Touch With the Miners,
1900 Output Will be Twenty
Million Tons.

An}ofilcial Of the West Virginia state
government Is authority for the state
ment that In the event OF an effort be-
ing made to shoot West Virginia btu
mlnons coal into the anthracite regions
and TO eastern points where anthracite
rules, the miners of this state will In
terpose SO strongly that the effort will
become frultless. He asserts that the
miners along the Chesapeake G. Ohio
railroad. In the southern part of the
state. have been informed that prepa-
ratons are making to ship coal from
that-feld into the hard coal markets,
and9ndds that the miners have deter
mined that they will decline to con-
tinue at work II such an attempt Is
made.
The general impression has been that
West Virginia miners are mostly unor-
ganized. but the Intelllgencer's infor-
mant says this is no longer the fact.
Of'the $4,000 miners in the state he says
nenrly two-thlrds of them are organ
lied. OF the 5000 miners In the Chesa-
peake & Ohio field. seventy-fve per
GENT are organized; OF the 10000 along
the Norfolk & Western. half are organ-
lied. and OF the 5000 along the Balti-
more & Ohio and general northern Sec
ton, three-fourths are In the unions.
There are two unions, the United
Mine Workers Of America, and state
association. of miners. and of the latter
S. G, Toler Is the president.
So far there has been no efforts IN
shoot the West Virginia product into
the anthracite region. and 1t is asserted
that plans to do this on a wholesale
scale have been abandoned. owing to
the position of the miners having be-
come known. ..t.Ir
BY the way. It is said that the out
put Of West Virginia Coal for the year
1900 will far exceed that OF any year in
the past, and reach the 2O.O00.0OO ton
mark, an Increase of 100000 tons over
the output of the year 1895. The out
put In 1899 was about 100000 tons.
