Your hair Is gold, oh, maiden fair,
And sweet your face to see.
Your brow unvexed with passing care,
Save you pity me.
You smile, as well becomes bride,
And finger, gazing here;
My sightlcss eyes are opened wide,
Unmoved by love or fear.
And love, though older than the Nile,
Remains forever young;
Before Yon pyramidal pile,
Or Memoirs song was Sung,
Before old Karnak's stones were laid,
Or Luxor's arches sprang,
Before the Sphinx had cast a shade,
Or Thebes its hammers rang,
Were plighted vows and love lit souls
That made the waste abIoom;
To be, at last, as time unrolls,
But ashes IN tomb.
By ancient shrines and tempted ways
That lie IN ruins now,
They fil1eted my braids with bays,
And there God heard my vow.
A golden serpent twined my arm,
A bee IN amber set
And hooped with gold, household charm =
Nor death makes me forget.
The songs, the dance, my robes and crown,
Yet thrill my finger tips:
The kingly kiss as he bent down
Still burns upon my lips.
The barges on the stream at night,
The musics rise and fall,
The cadcnced oars, the flame of light,
The 1otus blooms and all. ~
Four thousand years ago and more
The king made me his bride;
Bot why repeat the story DER
We lived, we loved, we died.
My shriveled lips are parched and dry,
My baubles brown with rust,
A withered heart, sightless eye,
For centuries are Dust.
break the seals to say the word
With fitful, falling breath,
That love which once the heart has stirred,
Is mightier than death.
And you may weep smile, my dear,
Here By the rivers flow,
As you love now, the mummy here
Loved age on age ago!

Some Trusts for Hanna's contemplation

Mr.. Hanna's statement that there
are no "trusts" is bubble. The
present use of the word may not be
strictly accurate, but it is generally
understood the word is employed to
designate combinations of capital
for the purpose of monopolizing
trade.
There are many monopolies of
this kind, and some of them are
made effective by Republican legis-
lation. For example, Mr.. Hanna's
own specially is iron. Monopoly
in almost every branch of the iron
business is made possible by Repub-
lican tariff legislation, because for
eign competition is prevented.
This monopoly raises the price of
every girder that goes into a build
ing, of every nail that is drived into
a farmers barn or home, of every
ploughshare, of every reaper, of ev-
cry binder, of every harrow, of ev-
cry hoe, of every horseshoe, of every
rail for the railroads on which farm
products are transported to market,
of every bit of wire for fencing, OF
every sewing machine, of every tool
used by mechanic. The cost OF
living and of doing business is thus
enormously increased.
The tariff also makes effective the
combinations which produce wooden
and cotton cloths and clothes, and
thus the price is raised of every hat,
of every coat, every dress and every
blanket bought by the consumer.
Thus also every pane of glass, ev-
cry tumbler, cup, plate and bottle
costs more by reason of ariffbreo
trusts.
Hundreds of articles might be
added to the list the cost of which
is increased so much by the Dingley
tariff that the profits of the accumu.
lated and combined capital which /:
invested in their production are un
unwholesome and oppressive.
The next time Mr.. Hanna say:
that there are no trusts some one il
the audience should ask him:
I. In how many combinations hi
is interested to which the Dingley
tariff gives monopoly of the do
nestle market.
2. How much greater is the an
nual dividend of the combination
than the average dividend of the
former corporations now composing
the combination2-New Y DIRK World

The voters will be called on this
fall to vote for or against an amend
ment to the constitution of the state.
The proposed amendment proposes
to increase the Supreme Court to
seven members and abolish the court
of Appeals. We believe this is a
wise law and should be carried.
With seven members on the supreme
bench instead of three. as it now is,
all the cases could be taken care of
by this court at less expense to the
state and with less trouble to liti-
giants.
