rHE POETS wiFE.

She brings her pretty knitting Cbless herD
Or mystic threads, for making laces.
That by and by will serve to dress her
In new and charming graces.
She sits and rocks, her rocker Ginning.
In measured cadence, to my rhyming.
Sometimes with eye that proudly glistens
read a sonnet have written;
She counts her stitches while she listens,
Or pulls thread, to make 1t fit In
And, with her gaze intent upon it.
Asks what they pay me for sonnet?"
She little knows of rhyme or metre.
And cares still less, but asks me whethe
Chiffon and roses would look sweeter
To trim her hat, than Jet and feather?
And while I'm framing odes to Cupid"
She tells me Poetry is stupid!
But oh, her eyes! Her silken lashes-
Her hairs sweet mutinies-the dimples
In cheek and chin--the outward flashes
or inward smiles-her tranquil, simple,
Enhancing air! Did she but know it
She is the reason I'm poet!-

pose of maintaining perpetual hold upon public office.
Party divisions -e viii always have with US, and we
should always have them, but party machines whether
sailing under Republican Democratic eolOrs, lead to
corruption, to bad government and to vice.
--Ore representative instances could not be found
than the Tammany organization in New FORK and the
Quay machine in Philadelphia Their domination.
brought the great municipalities in which they ruled to
shame and disgrace wherever they are known. In New
York the people rose and overthrow Tammauy. In
Philadelphia Quay and his gang still IN the saddle,
but their day of Judgment Is not far away.
And now we are TO have d miniature reproduction
Of those organizations in Salt Lake. The Republicans
in control and they want to stay IN control at any
cost Some of the sturder element Of the party, seeing
the rocks toward which the snip Is drifting have re-
fused ally themselves with he machine and viii fight
Il from Its inception These men fOresce that history
will repeat itself and they nave desire to be covered
with the wrcckCcc when the smash comes.
The plan now under consideration by the promoters
ct the movement includes the assessment of every city
employee certain proportion of his salary 1t contem-
plates the holding up of certain protected institutions
a,d general campaign for funds with which to keen
he wheels OF the machine oiled The result here viii
be- the as I'm other ctics.
When a municipal employee IS compelled to give up
par o ms salary TO Che powers that rule, hes going TO
begin figuring plan right away for getting that
money back. Policemen for a considerations viii be
