We're Foster, the English philanthro-

has been largely due to our muddling
tariff arrangements and the general
uncertainty of business affairs. If in
addition to those miseries, natural and
artificial, the Porto Ricans must fur
Their endure the many wrongs which
accompany "carpet-bag" misrule, then
indeed is their fate to be pitied. The
American military governors of the
island during the past two years have
relied perforce on experienced native
assistants, men sometimes of the high
est scholarly attachments, like DIR. Coll
v Toste, Salvador Brau and many 9th
ers whose familiarity with the coun-
try, it's language, laws and history
made them invaluable public servants.
Spanish laws and customs are suffi-
GENTLY complex, at best. Submitted to
the tender mercies of legion of raw
Yankee office-holders ignorant enough
of their own laws and customs, those
of Porto Rico may be expected to suf-
fer a weird and wondrous transforma-
ton.
And there is nothing to be done
about it. unless the supreme court de-
eide that citizen Of America is an
American citizen; that he cannot be
subject to the military service of the
United States and an alien at the same
time; in short, that the constitution of
the United States was not made by
fools for the government of fools.
Some day, let us hope it will be ere
many days, the people of the United
States will be as much ashamed OF
the mistreatment Of Porto Rico as they
now are Of the bred Scott decision OF
the hanging Of Salem witches; but II
will not be today nor yet tomorrow
We must first subject the Filipinos to
similar treatment. We must solemnly
and deliberately break our 'plighted
faith with the Cubans, and attend to
any other little dishonorable duties
that come in our way as an imperial
power. Thus shall we in time become
great and mighty and beloved, with at
least two Irelands at our door and the
promises and potency of a large dis
contented India in the far east-just
like our dear mother country.

of his cell, says the Boston Pilot. Mr..
Foster had verses printed, with illus
trations, on the backs of the National
school copybooks where they remained
until the authorities discovered that
the author was Fenian convict, and
ordered them removed.
Some years afterwards Mr.. Foster
visited American and on his return
told the following interesting sequel
to the incident:
"On my arrival at Boston, I called
on the proprietor Of the Pilot. He
said: Tomorrow morning shall send
young man from this Office to call on
you. He will question you as to the
object Of your present visit to Amer

may be the means of bringing some
of your old friends about you.''

"'Are you the author Of q little
poem called 1.-THE Old School Clock?"
"I am,' he replied.
"He didn't know that the poem had
been found, and a copy Of it given, as
he had desired, to his parents, whom I
had hunted up in Dublin, and at
length found lodging in the same
street as myself, or that the poem had
been published.
II had but one copy with me, which
he was greatly delighted to possess.
He entertained me at dinner, and
showed me all over the city,"

And great iron weights and chain;

On the face of the old school clock.

Jack Dempsey,s Grave.


Far out in the wilds of Oregon,
On a lonely mountain side,
Where Columbia's mighty waters
Roll down to the ocean tide,
Where the giant fir and cedar
Are Swallowed in the wave,
O'ergrown with ferns and lichens,
1 found poor Dempsey's grave.
1 found no marble monolith,
Nor broken shaft nor stone,
Recording sixty victories
This vanquished victor won:
No rose, no shamrock, could find,
No mortal here to tell
Where sleeps in this forsaken spot
TIL immortal "Nonpariel."
A winding, wooded, canyon road
That strangers seldom tread
Leads up this lonely mountain
To this desert of the dead
And the western sun was sinking
In PaclncS golden wave,
And these solemn pines kept watching
Over poor Jack Dempsey's grave.
That man of honor and of iron,
That man Of heart and ateel,
That man who far outclassl his clas'
And made mankind to feel
That Dempsey's name and Dempsey
fame
Should live in storied stone,
Is now at rest, far in the West,
In the wilds Of Oregon.

That thundered his acclaim,
Forgotten by his friends and foes
Who cheered his very name;

A Hundred Years to Come.

Oh, where will be the birds that sing,
A hundred years to come!
The flowers that now in beauty spring,
A hundred years to come?
The rosy lip, the lofty brow,
The heart that beats so gaily now,
Oh, where will be loves beaming eye,
joys pleasant smile, and sorrows sigh,
A hundred years to come?
Who'll press for gold this crowded
street,
A hundred years to come?
Who'll tread your church with willing
feet,
A hundred years to come?
Pale, trembling age, and fiery youth,
And childhood with its brow Of truth;
The rich and poor, on land and sea,
Where will the mighty millions be
A hundred years to come!

We all within our graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come!
No living soul for us will weep
A hundred years to come!
But other men our lands shall till,
And others then our streets will all,
While other birds will sing as gay,
AS bright the sunshine as today
A hundred years to come!

Old Glengarrlff by the Sea.

Old Glengariff by the sea,
Sure you've witched the heart from
That is what your woodlands tell,
And your mountains know 1t we'll;
Echoing thro' my memorie,
Echoes fy,-"O come!' they cry
To Glengariff by the sea.
Old Glengariff, list to me,
Sure I've seen fair Italie;
But the blue that fills her skies
Fades before your colleen's eyes
And the brooks of Tivoli
Lose their ring If Eileen sing
In Glengariff by the sea.
Old, Glengariff. you're for me
All fairie historic,
With your mountains and the bay,
Where the Shan Van Vocht, they
say,
Saw the Wrench, who thought to free
From the pail of Saxon thrall
Erin's isle that gems the sea.
Oft the battle cry you've heard,
When from clan to clan the word
Like the Bel fires, woke the sky,
That your sons should do or die;
"Think We of your ancestrie,
Pixies, my men, tonight the glen,
In Glengarif by the seal"
Old Glengariff, sure you seem
Just thing the poets dream,
Song and story in your dclls,
Passing all that Rhineland tells,
Clothed in garb of mysterie,
Evening time or matin chime,
In Glengariff by the sea.
Romance-sure it is your child,
Like your fuchias growing wild,
And dreamed in starry hours,
Of-the olden castle towers,
And the knights that gallantlie
Bare their blades for honored maid
In Glengariff by the sea.
Old Glengarifr by the sea,
Keep the heart you've witched for me:
Give it Glashen-glora's Groom,
Sweep your mountains for a tune
That will keep my memorie
Till the day HE away
To Glengariff by the sea.

DESERVES A MEDAL

1t is said that in 1888 there was a
plebe in the West Point Military acad-
envy who was never hazed and the
country yearns to know his name.
He was an able bodied youth and
when he was called out to fight re-
sponded with an alacrity which indi-
Gated that he had come to West
Point for no other purpose. When
he had polished off his man, he flip
ped drop of perspiration from his
brow with the index finger of his
trusty right and glanced inquiringly
about him as if to say next" Anoth-
er husky hazer was brought forward
and in few minutes his companions
We're bringing him to life again. Then
they trotted out three more in rapid
succession, and they too went too the
grass. In the course of two or three
days that plebe whipped thirty of our
countrys future defenders, and that
is wny he was not hazed. No tabasco
sauce scalded his throat and to him
the tortures of the eagle" were I'M
known. He just went about his bust
ness and licked all corners half to
death. No wonder a member of the
committee said that plebe ought to
have monument. He deserves a
gold medal and a pension.

THE MAN AND TIE HOUR.

Ottumwa is city of 10000 people
and is growing rapidly. There is in
some quarters, we luink, a disposition
to regard the mayoralty too cheaply
and too lightly. To be elected mayor
of Ottumwa is an honor to any citizen,
whatever his abilities and attainments
Especially is this true this year, when
SO many matters of far reaching i'm
portance are pending before the, city
council.
There never has been a time in the
history of the city Of Ottumwa when
there was required in the Office of
mayor higher degree of business
and executive ability, courage, firm
ness and integrity than at the present
time.
The successful nominee this year
must be man whom the Office seeks
and whom the people demand. If nee
essary; personal and business sacri-
fees must be made for the benefit of
the community.
The nominee must first be man
who can be elected.
He must be successful business
man in whose business Judgment the
entire community has confidence
He must be man of affairs fully
acquainted with the laws of the state,
and familiar with the many questions
of public nature, that will come up

EIoper Lived Here.

Ottumwa people are interested in
the sensational Fontanelle elopement
case which occupied the attention of
Iowa papers for some time, for the
reason that the young lady in ques-
ton was former resident of this city.
The extreme youthfulness of the girl
coupled with the fact that she mar
ried man who is said TO have all
ready been a husband to another wo-
man, makes the case one of the most
talked about of any that there has
been in the state for many months.
The clippers were Miss Bessie Shell.
enhammer and Walter Mccoy, he 26
years old and she barely past the six
teen mark. The story is to the effect
that they left Fontanelle secretly in a
carriage a few evenings ago, going to
Greenfield, where thew were united in
marriage. From that place they went
to Creston, it is reported, where they
registered at one of the hotels as Mr.
and Mrs. G. B Davis. They had in
tended to proceed to st. Joseph, but
they We're apprehended before their
train arrived. Mccoy was arrested
and placed in the Union county Jail
and the girl was taken to her home in
Fontanelle. Dick Wimp, the person
who drove the carriage for the young
people was arrested as an accomplish
or accessory to the alleged crime.

SURE OF A CATHOLIC BISHOP.
People of Sioux City Have Made Up
Their Minds to 1t.

Sioux City, Jan. 23.-There is now
practically no doubt in the minds of
the people of Sioux City that Catho-
lie bishop will be seated here in the
near future. Very Rev. r. Treacy, pas
tor of st. Mary's church, which will
become the cathedral when the bishop
arrives, stated that Archbishop Keane
would not come to Sioux City to con-
firm a large class which has been
waiting for him. Dean Treacy ex-
planned that the archbishop, while at
Fort Dodge few days ago, said that
he did not intend to go to Sioux City
for the purpose of administering con-
firmation, for the simple reason that
Sioux City would soon have bishop
of it's own, and the new bishop would
administer the sacrament This an
nouncement is taken as pretty nearly
conclusive. 1t is generally understood
that Rt. Rev. T. M. Lehman, bishop of
Cheyenne, will be Sioux City's bishop.
He has wanted to change from his
present location on account of his

C. B. & Q. IMPROVEMENTS.
burlington Hawkeye1

Circulars have been issued by di-
rectors of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy railway to stockholders ex-
planning the issue of new stock and
the terms on which it may be secured
by them. The circulars state that of
the total amount to be realized from
the. sale of the stock $2,500,000 will
be used for the refunding of sinking
fund bonds that will mature in Octo-
Der. About $2,000,0O0 will be applied
to reduce grades and Strengthening
curves on the main line in Iowa and
s1,5OO,00O will be used to complete
the construction of the Big Horn Bas-
in road. The rest about $3,500,0O0,
will be devoted to betterments and
equipment. The Big Horn Basin
road is 100 miles long and runs from
Toluca on the Billings branch to
Cody, Wyoming. The road runs thru
rich mineral section and is capable
of great agricultural development.
1t is now intimated that the Bur-
lington intends to attend to its own re-
funding operations without the aid of
the bankers. It's treasury cash, sur
plus earnings and the proceeds of
$30,000,000 per cent bonds already
refunded would enable it to take care
of it's refunding completely without
the assistance of any syndicate or
bankers. However this may be, the
impression is by no means weakened
that the Burlington is determined to
push it's lines on to the Pacific both
ncrthward and thru California. The
Official announcement of its intentions
in that direction may be deferred,
however, until it gets rid of its re-
funding business.
