AS to the second, the maintenance Of
the inhibition against the import of arms.
this Government will not declare itself to

 Our faithful party hack; I found him looking thin, dear Bill,
 His legs weaving to and fro, fear his health is not as good
 As twas four years ago His hide is not as sleek dear Bill,
 His brand of G. O. P. Has turned into running sore
 Quite pitiful to see; The tariff ulcer on his trunk
 Now seems inclined to grow; In fact, his health is not as good
 As twas four years ago. I must increase his feed, dear Bill. To fit him for the race, And whitewash use on every scar
 That shows upon his face; I'll give him patriotic mush
 Until his eyes will glow As brightly as the spurs I used
 On him four years ago. I'll feed him chestnuts, too, dear Bill. Though somewhat dry and stale, They will not fail to mend his pace And straighten out his tail; I'll feed him "honeSt dollars Bill. Mixed with expansion" dough, Until I make him look the same
 He did four years ago. And when get him groomed, dear Bill I'll blanket him with care, And drive him out into the park To fill his lungs with air; Then when the race is fairly on. His trumpet he will blow, With all the conseduence and force He did four years ago. have another scheme, dear Bill I'll ornament his tuSks With bills denouncing in strong terms Our dearest friends, the trusts; And when election day comes round The voters will not know The chains beneath his gilded robe Were forged four years ago. I think you will remember, Bill, CYou never must forgeO That all our glory comes through Me, And I am master yet; The dice l use are loaded, Bill, You simply shake and throw And put the trust in Me and god You did four years ago.

There was another cutting scrape at Metcalf Monday night. A Mexi- can named Flores cut an ugly gash about five inches long across Nestor Garcia s face. Garcia then tried to stab Flores but the latter got out of the way and picked up some rocks with which he struck Garcia several times. Garcia is laid up for repairs and Flores is in jail. They were both drinking.
