WOLVES IN SLEEPS CLOTHING.

There are few men in Baltimore

They worked vigorously for Mch'n'e.

assassin's mask of "honest doilai.
They are such men as John X Gown,

ten years, but who have eternahs
strutted about as Democrats, peins
always really wolves in sleeps c'o'n
ing. They seem not to have the mora
courage to 90 openly into the Repuoh-
can party, or are too willy to 90 80
because they doubtless feel that thei'
great efforts in behalf of McKinleyism
would be smasculated if they allowed
their real motives to become known te
the country at largo. by going Openly
into the party for which they woih
and whore they belong. They shoui'
drop the word "honest" from thsll
political declarations, or If they deslr'
the word to be used in that connection
they ought surely to do some singi
Iact of that character. To call them
selvea Gold Democrats or the Homes
Money League. and to declare that
lSound Currency is the paramount is'u
lare all so untruthful and intended
certainly to deceive, that the kiss

The DINNER PAIL.

Twas The full dinner pail, as once
went the tale,
Mark Santa Claus, put in their SOCKS.
Happy workmen and hale, themselves
would regale,
Like Mark, who has plenty OF rocks.
How happy should be such workmen
you see,
To live like the head of Trust,
With pail coming free, from VIII
liam and Me,
Cause you workman have voted 10
ust"
But the tale of the pail. grows trylngl
stale,
As the workmen grow moody ana sau
Their dinner SO small, no supper at al
And for breakfast, a morsel they'V
had.
| Now the sweet, sweet tale. of 9Th
u full dinner pail"
| Is told in different way,
"The empty old pail" hanging up o
nail,
II Is the pale, sickly tale, of today.

BUlLDED UPON THE SAND.

The destruction of Galveston, Texas.
which IL one of the most appalling
calamities which ever befell any coun-
try, and the greatest unless 1t be the
Johnstown disaster, which over befel
this, is another illustration OF how
human beings are lulled into forget
fulness of danger. The scriptures
have told us of "a man which built an
house and digged deep, and laid the
foundation on a rock; and when the
fiooc arose the waters beat vehemently
upon that house and could not shake
it. for it was founded upon = rock, "
and again they have told US of "a man
who built an house upon the sand. and
when the floods came and beat vehs'
mently upon that house it immediate
" fell, and great was the ruin thereof. "
The destruction of Pompaii has not
warned people sufficiently to keep
them beyond the dangers of Vesuvius'
nor has Johnstown been abandoned
because of the calamity there, nor will
the site OF Galveston be entirely desert
ed because of the present overwhelm'
ing. For the sake Of gain human be-
ipss will risk untold dangers, ano
laugh at direful forebodings. The
nation has besn deeply grieved ovel
this disaster. Yet unless some measure
is taken to hold back the waves an
other in time will follow, because
whore mon have lived and prospered
men will live and prosper. though &C
casionally some may be swallowed ul
as have been our friends in Galveston

",F TREASON MAKE THE MOST Of IT.

An argument that Teddy Roosevelt
and a few other Republican orators
have adv anced is that Democrats are
traitors, because they the Democrats
are giving aid and comfort to tho
Fillipinos, by an advocacy of policy
of self government. This is very
tame sort of argument, it is not worthy
If any serious consideration. II the
Fillipinos had done anything in the
first place for which We should put
60 600 of our soldiers to butchering
them, then there might be some little
weight in the argument. But because
the Democrats oppose this murderous
feature of the Mckinley administra.
ton does not argue that any one Is
traitor. The Democrats believe thai
