It occurs to The Advertiser that the following comment from The Chicago Chronicle on the South Carolina incl dent Is to the point:
 To be sure. Senator MoLaTrin is not much of a Democrat. but the South Caro- lima populists are particularly impudent when they accuse him of voting in the Senate for Republican measures. Populis- tic principles are as undemoeratic as Re. publican principles. For Populists to dis pute a mans Democracy because he votes GOT Republican measures Is absurd and preposterous beyond description.
 Admitting that McLaurin is not ex- actly 24-karat Democrat, we fail to see where Tillman obtains the right to kick him. He would do we'll to have himself fumigated and get rid ot the smell of Populism before he turns up his proboscis at others.

Sometimes my needle stops with haIf-drawn
thread
(Not often though-each moments waste means
bread.
And missing stitches leaves the little mouths
unfed.)
I look down upon the dingy court below:
A tuft OF grass is all il has to show
A broken pump, where thirsty children
Above, there shines bit OF sky small
That IL might be passing bluebirds wing,
One tree leans up against the high brick wall,
And there the sparrows twitter of the spring,
Until they waken in my heart cry
OF hunger that no bread can satisfy.
Always before when Maytme took her way
Across the fields / followed close. To-day
I can but dream OF all her bright array.
NY work drops down. Across the sill lean,
And long, with bitter longing. for
Rain-freshened paths, where budding woods
grow green
The water trckles from the pump below
Upon the stones With eyes half-shut, / hear
1t falling in a pool where rushes grow.
And feel cooling presence drawing near.
A singing OF some far meadow lark.
II Is the same old miracle applied
Unto myself that on the mountain-side
The few small loaveS and fishes multiplied
Behold. how strange and sweet the mystery
The birds. the broken pump the gnarled tree.
Have brought the fullness of the spring
For in the leaves that rustic by the wall
All forest finds a tongue and so that grass
Can. with its struggling tuft of green. recall
Wide bloomfield meadows where the cattle
pass.
How IL can be but dimly divine.
These crumbs. God-given, make the whole Loaf
mine.
