THE FoR5aNsH GRAVEYARD.

No costly granite marks the graves,
No fresh cut flowers grace.
No new made footprints in the clay
To tell a well loved place.
Only a few old, tottering stones
Grown weary with the years,
With faded letters worn and dim,
But more with rain than tears.
Across a grave with sunken breast
A timid wild rose creeps.
Who knows but meath its perfumed leaves
A plying heart it keeps?
Sometimes a wild bird rests upon
A crumbling rock and sings.
Who knows but from a plying heart
That tender note ne brings2
Here lies a grave so short and small
'Twould touch a mothers heart;
Within some breast at some sweet time
1t held a larger part.
And here around a faded name
Are green and %clinging vines.
Who knows with what a plying touch
The tender ivy twines?
And here's a long and narrow grave,
With naught to mark the place
Except a blue forgetmenot
That lifts its dainty face.
But who can say it blooms less fair
Upon the pauper's bed
Than where yon lettering stone is seen
Above his neighbours head?
The wind blows sadly through the pines;
Alone, it seems to sigh.
Forgotten, whisper low the leaves
That rustic softly by.
But, all, we do not need to lie
Beneath a stone to be
Forgotten and alone; perhaps
They live in memory

No Time for Revision.

One is almost tempted to question the
sincerity OF Representative Babcock
when one notices how inopportune a
time he has chosen for his demonstration.
In 1872 the workingmen clamored for
tarif revision. They got it. Remember
ing what happened as aconsequence, they
are not asking for it now. Consumers
are not Workingmen and business men
see before them the golden prospect of
assured good times for the next twelve.
month. They are al! eager to cut gen.
erous slice from The loaf of prosperity
and they pay no attention TO the voice of
one seeking after notoriety who is crying
revision, revision" This is not the
time for revision. The sun is shining
and it is hay making time.
With reciprocity" the case is different.
Commercial treaties with foreign nations
which. while not disturbing seriously
existing home industries, open new mar
kets to domestic products will have pop
ular approval. They accord with the
views enunciated by President Mex inley
just before he died.
Let the tariff alone. 1t cannot be
changed at one point without an attempt
being made TO change 1t everywhere.
The whole subject was discussed in 1890,
in 1894, again in lsg7-only four yearsago.
NOlOly wishes it discussed now.

RecOming More pOicnt.

The Mormons have invited the atten-
ton that they are again receiving in all
parts ofthe country. aud they will have
themselves to blame il this attention AS.
sumes later ON what they may be pleased
to call a crusade against their church.
They have been increasing rapidly in
Utah and surrounding states. They hold
the balance of power la three and prob
ably four stat :. Their missionaries
abroad have been great deal more active
than is generally supposed. and thous-
ands OF new recruits from Europe join
them every year. They are also active in
the cities aud towns. Moreover their
natural increase has exceeded the growth
of the territory which they inhabit.
No objection can be raised to them on
this score. They are sober, industrious,
thrifty people, and as plain MormouS
they do not treSpass upon the rights OF
others. But their growing political
strength has emboldened them to take
some liberties which the sentiment ofthe
country cannot tolerate.

The time may not as yet he qui,e ripe

direction at the coming session of con-

The sooner the Mormons uude stand

the rest of the nation, even though it he

will be for the Mcrmons themselves. At

may ultimately prove disastrous to their

CONCERNING the report that insurance

war on Christmas trees on the ground
that they eudanger property aud increase

that will strike sympathetic chord wher-

in anything more serious than bringing
the companies into disfavor. While it is
no more than right and proper that rea-
sonable care and caution should be exer-
cised in handling the lights utilized about
the trees, the companies have no right to
ask anything more. The companies al
ready have so many exemptble clauses

On the disposition of the Democracy to
commit tariff agitation the Erie Dispatch
comments: "Fo; while, in the present
prosperous times, the Democrats had the
seeming good sense TO say nothing.
Their own efforts toward helping on the
business of the country were so disastr
Gus in their result, and the work of the
Republicans SO effective that there was
nothing left for the free traders to say.
Now, however they have become tired OF
good times, and they have again found
voice and are calling out for free trade.
That policy has never brought business
prosperity TO America. The Democrats
have repeatedly tried it and have failed in
producing the desired result every time,
while the operations of the Republican
policy of protection have not only pro-
duced better business conditions athome,
but extended our trade abroad. And yet
the Democrats again cry out for free
trade. Truly Democrats never learn
anything"
