st Valentines wisdom.

From Leslie's Monthly.
Cupid sat near to st. Valentine,
He was sorting out his darts,
Repairing his bow and his CULVER,
And toying with broken hearts,
wg
Said he to the saint, with weary sigh,
Pm tired of this fruitless hunt.
From sordid, leathery hearts to-day
MY arrows fall dull and blunt.
thine was when dart of elder pith
Would pierce to the very core
A common heart, and the tougher ones
1t would make exceeding sore.
Nov naught but an arrow tipped with
gold
Will reach to vital part.
And no such thing can be found to-day
As flaming, burning heart"
Said the aged saint, you quite express
The thing that / meant to say,
And we've got. to use modern methods,
If we'd make the business pay.
THE turtle dove it has quite gone by,
And welded hearts are passe,
But any battered old coronet
Has cinch to win the day.
and the very SWEETEST new design
For sealing lovers letters,
You would hardly guessI It's the dollar
sign
And a pair of golden letters.
Then take advice, IL the game you'd bag,
Use only golden dart,
And draw a bead on the scheming head
Don't aim at the shrunken heart"
Augusta L. Hanchett

THREATS AGAINST MIR. TAYLOR.

The impression gained from Frankfort
KY, dispatches respecting the feeling in
the state toward Mr.. Taylor, the Republi-
can claimant of the Office of Governor, Is
that he is in danger of being assassinated.
In these dispatches there are interviews
with prominent lawyers and military men,
who express the opinion that Mr.. Taylor
is marked man." and that 1t is a ques-
ton of only short time when ne win
meet the fate that overlook Gov. Goebel
One prominent lawyer is quoted as say
ing that the feeling that Mr.. Taylor must
pay the penalty of his effort to hold on to
the governorship by revolutionary meth
DDS, is deep seated, and will not die out
1t seems that many of the people of the
state are of Inc opinion that he knew of
the plot to assassinate Gov. Goebel.
This belief is, of course, due to the Bit
ter partisan feeling which prevails. II
Is probable that the shot that fatally
wounded Gov. Goebel was fired from the
executive building, in which Mr.. Taylor
had his office. Mr.. Taylor was in his
office at the time of the shooting, but it
is safe to say that he knew nothing OF
the plot to kill Gov Goebel He could
not have been a party to such crime
if he was in his right mind Nobody has
openly asserted belief that he was a
party to it. He would have known that
neither ne nor his party could gain any
benefit from the death of Gov Goebei at
the hands of his political enemies.
1t is not out of the bounds of probability
of course that bitter partisan will as
sassinate or attempt to assassinate Mr..
Taylor but the chances are that nothing
of the kind will occur. AS rule, threat
ened men live long. 1t is not likely that
the present trouble will be the cause of
another tragedy like that of the shooting
of Gov. Goebel.

BRYAN AND AN EARLY CoNvEN-
TION.

Mr.. Bryan is represented as being in
favor of holding the Democratic Conven-
ton before either the Republican or the
Populist convention is held. The reason
is apparent If he has his way one of the
strongest planks in the Democratic plat
form will be an antitrust plank. 1t is
about certain that the Republicans intend
to put an antitrust plank in their plat
form. 1t is important therefore that the
Democrats shall be the first to declare
against trusts. If they make the first dec
laration the Republicans will be put in the
position of following them. 1t can then
be said, with considerable show of res-
son, that the Republicans were forced by
the Democrats 10 take position against
trusts.
But 1t is probable that Mr.. Bryan is
more anxious TO have the Democratic con-
vention held before the Popullst con-
vention than he is that 1t shall be
held before the Republican conven-
ton The Populists promise to be
troublesome, that is, those who are known
as the Middle-of-the Road Populists.
They want to meet and nominate Mr..
Bryan on platform of their own making,
and then, by nominating Mr.. Bryan, force
the Democrats to endorse their action.
The leaders of the Texas Popullsts stated
some time ago that this was their plan.
1t is evident that the Democratic party
could not permit itself to be made the tail
of the Populist kite. Besides, it is about
certain that the Populists will make
platform that will not be acceptable to the
Democrats 1t is probable, too that they
will want to name the nominee for Vice
President.
If the Populists and the Democrats are
to work in harmony the Populists must
accept the ticket and the platform of the
Democrats. Any other arrangement would
work to the injury of the Democratic
party and lessen it's chances of carrying
the election According to the dispatches
the Democratic convention will be held
very early in June That will be none too
soon if trouble with the Populists is to
be avoided.

Mr.. Bryan told a New Jersey audience
the other night referring to the trusts

The Indianapolis News (Dem) saws:
MAKE our navigation laws as favorable
as those of England, Germany. Holland or
Norway, and let Americans buy ships
wherever they can buy them at best ad-
vantage and there would be no trouble
in building up an American merchant
marine such as we used to have in the
old days Of the clipper sailing ships. That
would be much more sensible than main-
tanning our restrictive laws and then tax
ing the nation TO give shipowners sub
sides 10 overcome the artificial inequall-
ties that we have created"
The Nashville American Dem.), says:
mo more iniquitous scheme to plumber
the public treasury for the benefit Of sell
fish interests than the ship subsidy bin
was ever presented TO Congress, and it is
gratifying to know that even so powerful

Hanna may fall in his efforts to fasten
this steal upon the people"
