Tread softly; bow the head
In reverent silence bow!
No passing bell doth toll;
Yet an immortal soul
4 Is passing now.
Stranger, however great,
With lowly reverence bow!
There's one in that poor she'd
One by that paltry bed
Greater than thou.
Beneath that beggar's roof,
Lo! Death doth keep his state!
Enter! No crowds attend
Enter! No guards defend
This palace gate.
That pavement, damp and cold,
No smiling courtiers tread;
One silent woman stands,
Lifting with meager hands
4 A dying head,
No mingling voices sound
An infant wall alone:
A sob suppressed-again
That short deep gasp-and then
The parting groan.
Oh! change-oh! wondrous change!
Burst are thy prison bars!
This moment there, so low,
So agonized-and now
Beyond the stars.
Oh! change-stupendous change!
There lies the soulless clod!
The sun eternal breaks:
The new immortal wakes
Wakes with his God.

has been to awaken British capital to

been hurt, and every endeavor will be
made to keep abreast of the new and
aggressive rival. Whether the English
will be able to compete with America

BRYAN on THE DECISION.

A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb.,
says: Taking for his text the words
emperor Mckinley" William J,
Bryan has given out an extended
statement bearing upon the Supreme
Court decision in the insular cases.
Mr.. Bryan frankly admits that the
court verdict is extremely dlstaste-
full to him and the language be EN-
ployes is more vigorous than is
customary, even for him. He boldly
declares that the Supreme Court has
Joined hands with the President and
Congress in an effort to change our
form of government, and be calls
upon the people to repudiate the YER
dict. Mr.. Bryan says: by vote OF
five to four the Supreme Churt has
declared President Mckinley Emperor
of Porto Rico, and according to the
press dispatches, the Emperor has
gladly end gracefully accepted the
title conferred upon him by the high
est judicial tribunal of the land.
This is one of the most important
decisions, if not the most important,
ever rendered by the court; it not only
declares that Congress is greater than
the Constitution which created it
the creature greater than the creator
but it denies the necessity for q
written Constitution. The position
taken BY the court is defended, OF
rather excused. by reasoning which
if followed out, will destroy Constitu
tional liberty in the United States
The decision in effect declares tina
the people are not the source of power
1t, defends taxation without represent
tation and contends that the govern
ments do not derive their power from
the consent Of the governed.
1T assails the foundation of the e
public, end Goes SO on the ground c
expediency. The dissenting opin
ions bristle with precedents and bur
with patriotism. They ought t
awaken conscientious Republicans t
realization Of the meaning of in,
perialism.
This decision, like tie bred Sco
decision, raises politicalissue whic
must be settled by the people. II

President and Congress in an attemI
to change the form of our COVER
ment, but there yet remains an a.
