THE MEAN PART OF IT

There is no end to the high crimes
and misdemeanors laid at the door Of
the Republicans by their Democratic
opponents. Here is an extract clipped
from the editorial columns Of an Eas-
tern Shore exchange:
The Republicans perpetrated a mean
trick on a Sunday school in O.dtown,
Anegany county, Nd. last week. A lot
Of confectionery had been distributed
among the children. In each box was
a campaign badge, the Mckinley and
Bryan badges being equally distributed

A DARK SHADOW.

God drew shadow Ger my baby eyes
And there it lies,
Unchanged by time or place;
But have felt her loving breast
Breathe heart sore signing for the Joys miss
And felt her kiss
Upon my eyelids pressed.
never saw Gods lovely world.
But have listened to the whispering trees
And felt the breeze
That springs sweet leaves uncurled-
l never gazed upon a rose,
But have laid the flower against my cheek
And heard God speak
And mysteries disclose.
And he has made me understand;
Though dark the shadow that now holds me
blind,
God is behind.
Unseen feel his hand
And know that from my darkened eyes
me lifelong shadow will be rolled away
One solemn day.
oh, rapturous surprised
My happy lips cen now must sing.
These eyes, unclosing In the streets Of gold,
Will first behold
The face Of Christ, my King.

There is a pointed lesson for every
American voter in the annual report Of
the factory inspectors department Of
Pennsylvania, just made public. 1t
shows that in 1899 there were S2S,0OO
more persons employed during the year
than there were in 1896, and that for
the ten months ending July 81, 1900
there were 10000 more persons en-
ployed than on July 81, 1898. In other
words. 44S,0OO more persons were en-
ployed by the industries Of Pennsylva-
mia in 1900 than there were in 1896

The recent Chinese edict ordering
the removal Of the Imperial Court from
Pekin to the new capital is said to in
dicate that the empress grip On affairs
is so strong as to prevent the en-
peror's return to Pekin, and thereby
arrests plans for peace negotiations
Upon the return of the president to
Washington a special Cabinet meeting
will be held to consider the proposal
Of France for dealing with affairs n
China
A Washington dispatch says that in
timations have ben conveyed to some
Of the foreign representatives that this
government may not be able to con-
cur in the interdiction Of the import of
arms into China, and also that there
may be serious constitutional reasons
requiring at least two of the French
proposals to be submitted to the
American Congress. These relate to
the establishment Of permanent le-
cation guard at Pekin and to the per-
manent maintenance Of a line of COM
munication from PelSin to the sea.
A cablegram from Pekin says the
Americans are making a search
of the forbidden city for the
imperial porcelain collection, not for
loot, but merely for the purpose of ex-
amining the collection.
