THE SUICIDE.

Twas on . cold November morn.
Before the blaze Of day newborn,
The street lamps Pickering flames ex-
pired,
And from their nightly task retired;
The night had shed its rain and sieet
And snowy siush lay o'er the street
A breezy chillness filled the air;
The city walls in ice were glare.
Scarce had the sidewalks surface spoke
Beneath the feet OF thronging folk,
When long. and loud and shrill, and high
Was heard the shivering newsboy's cry:
"a suicide! a su-i-cidel"
"a paper, sir1" tells how she died"
"A su-i-cide" the cry went on.
"A su-i-eide" and then was gone.
The story which the paper told.
Was nothing new, but sad and old.
Beneath bold-faced lettered head,
The context OF the item read:
can unknown body was found last night
By some fishermen dredging the lake.
With their seines, their nets, and their
tackle
While hoping some fishes to take.
The quarter from which she has come,
Her name and her home are unknown
The causes that drove her to death
Are secrets completely her own.
Her apparel, so artfully made.
Is such as in life and good health,
Though soaked in the slime Of the lake,
Would signify standing and wealth.
Her features 50 beautifully formed,
Surprising the marble Of Greece;
'Tis pity Of pities, alasl
Their breathing should ever surcease.
Her finger is girt with n ring
With n locket attached to It's frame.
In this a small tablet is found,
Engraved with stOryful name"
No mortal ever climbed 50 high
The steep that leads to glOry's crown
But that misfortune's mighty hand
May sometime pluck him down.

THE refusal OF the Senate to give
Ex-senator Quay, an appointee of the
governor of Pennsylvania, a seat In its
chamber, disposes OF the appointment
business for time and half time If not
for all time. 1t is to be hoped that the
change whereby the people can vote
direct for senator will be made before
other governors feel called upon to
make appointments.
By the vote for Quay the Senate re-
fused to recede from the precedent
established In certain cases In the past.
At present Delaware and utah have
only one senator each put there will be
no calls for extra sessions OF Legis-
latures to elect. Delaware has Dem
ocratic Governor and Republican
Legislature and Utah has Republican
Governor and Democratic Legislature
and no pressure will be brought to
bear on them to call extra sessions. In
the Quay matter the Senate was con-
sistant.

whether the platform OF 1896 is rcafiirm-
ed or not.
All the talk about Democratic con-
spiracy" in the East TO nominate Nd
miral Dewey or to iniure Mr.. Bryan Is
pure bosh. MIR. Bryan Is supreme
throughout the party. No man chal-
lenges his authority, no man seeks his
defeat
The change which the brutal and
corrupt policy OF the Mckinley admin
stration has wrought in politics is al
most without parallel in America.
Mr.. Bryan has become platform in
himself, standing as he does for honesty,
decency, plain speech and true Ameri-
canism as opposed to hypocrisy, cor
ruption, duplicity, evasion, imperialism
and shameless servitude to trust domi-
nation.
Mr.. Bryan has no choice for Vice
President; can say that advisedly. No
candidate for the second place has vet
organized sufficient strength to be con-
sidered seriously. All seem to be
waiting for Mr.. Bryan to speak the
word, but have been assured by MIR.
Bryan himself, that he will not inter-
fere in any way.
Elliot Danforth, who may be the next
Democratic candidate for governor Of
New York aud who supported Mr..
Bryan and the Chicago platform In 1896.
expresses the average and prevailing
opinion for the whole party when he
says:
I" In the last presidential contest
financial issues were most prominent.
AS result OF foreign war now new
questions are occupying the attention
OF the people. Republication directs
us toward military Imperialism aud
financial and Industrial concentration. ~

Idle Talk.

Those opposing union OF the Silver
forces of the state ut the Pocatello con-
yentions are offering as many schemes
to defeat the union as season presents
pests for destroying an infant cotton
crop, and their prophecies OF evil and
failure are as wide of the mark as
were the efforts of the COW in her at
tempt to jump over the moon.
The latest charge made is that Gov
ernor Steunenberg will demand his
nomination for the United States senate
by the conventions, and failing, will de-
stroy the union as effectually as the
famous bull destroyed the china shop.
1t is useless to note and to deny such
groundless statements. They are made
without authority and are unworthy of
consideration.
Governor Steunenberg will, most like
ly, be candidate for the United States
Senate. His standing in his party
gives him a right to be, and he is, prob
ably, as strong with his party as any
other man, but Governor Steunenbers
is NOT the man to break up the well laid
plans for union of the Silver forces to
secure his own nomination. The gov
ernor is made of better stuff than that,
and he who speaks to the contrary
maligns the man. The Governor is for
union, and after that will take care of
his candidacy. The talk of the schemes
Is idle; the union will be formed and
all the parties to it will be treated
fairly, justly aud honestly and vic
tory will be certain in November.
