The Pilgrim and the Puritan.

This is the story of William the
weary pilgrim and Jereboam the Puri-
tan. as it is told in the Detroit Free
Press.
''Prithee," quoted William, "the guer-
don of a hand-out. or cold bite!'
Nay, nay, friend" quoth Jereboam.
For this is the Sabbath day!"
"Do unto others as We would they
do unto you" quoth William. "Veri-
ly, a good rule, friendl'
verify, friendi" quoth Jereboam.
"And being good it works not upon the
Sabbath"
Now, this could William not gainsay,
for it CHANGED that he, too, was
brought up in the strictest sect of the
Pharisees.

Some Nightmares.

From the Baltimore American.
The night ! ate Welsh rarebit,
l saw Mckinley smile,
And clasp the hand of Bryan,
And squeeze it for a while.
Then Bryan told Mckinley,
AS soon as he could speak:
TN boom you in my paper,
With one full page next week."
The night ate Welsh rarebit,
j. Pierpont Morgan came
And sang in soulful accents
None else but Shaffer's name.
He called for Mr.. Shaffer,
And said: "Oh, Shaffer, please
Take each cent of my fortune
And raise all salaries
The night I ate Welsh rarebit,
| saw Tom Upton write:
Il would not win with Shamrock
Not even if l might"
And all the New York Yacht Club
Sang: 1--WE will never float
Another cup defender
Unless it's Lawson's boat"
The night I ate Welsh rarebit,
l heard Maclay and Long
And Crowninshield and Sampson
All singing this glad song:
''At Santiago's battle
The great man was Sch1ey"-
And then the old alarm clock
Set up its morning cry.

Senator Tillman and Senator Quay
agree in their opinions of newspapers.
Tillman thinks that all of them are
owned or subsidized by corporations,
and Quay is certain that all of them
can be bought if they are not already
owned by great interests which want
to rob the people. Tillman expressed
his opinion in a lecture and Quay put
his in the platform of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania. The trouble with
Tillman and Quay is that they are out
of sorts with the newspapers because
would suit them better than to compel
the newspapers to follow their lead and
praise all they said and did. The news
papers are too honest to suit them.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield Republican Qnd }
says: There is a certain ineffable
smirlS about the Pennsylvania platform
which indicates a genuine contempt for
the reformers. and is the same as ask
ing, What are you going to do about
it?' 1t must be admitted that the
Quayites have some justification for
believing that nothing can throw them
down, yet it will indicate a much low !.
er public spirit in Pennsylvania than
has hitherto been thought to exist, II
the Republican ticket nominated yes
terday does not have an immense vote
polled against it,"
The Chicago Chronicle Dem.) says:
THE abuses Of the pension system are
notorious. They are so closely allied
with many other abuses. political and
personal, that probably there can be no
hope of an immediate reform. These
abuses proceed chiefly from the dema-
gogy of Congress, the looseness with
which laws are drawn and enforced and
The reckless appeals of influential indi-
Viduals."
The Pittsburg Dispatch Qnd. Rep)
says: 1.-The platform adopted yester-
day is the most humorous production
the Pennsylvania political testers have
ever attempted. 1t rises TO the plane
of being excruciatingly funny in its
Endorsement of the wise and beneficent
laws passed by the State Legislature I"
The Washington Star (Rep.) says:
THE country win watch the campaign
in Pennsylvania with no little inter-
est. Mr.. Quay and his friends have
long been powerful in the states af-
fairs. but a registration of their power
at the polls after these latest disclos-
tounding." -rs,Fss'
