Verse for Prison Paper.

Verse for Prison Paper.
From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Phillips, the mulatto under sentence
of death at Anamosa, Iowa. for muir
der. has appealed so to the sensibili-
ties of women through his poems pub
lished in the Prison Press that an or
der has been issued that none of the
convicts shall hereafter sign their ar
ticles. Phillips wrote a number of
sentimental verses which were pub
lished by the prison paper and copied
elsewhere. The result was that the
Governor has been deluged with let
ters asking him to commute the SEN
tence Of the man. This week Phillips
has two poems in the Prison Press
One is entitled GAS One" and is an
effective setting forth of certain phases
of social life and the manner in which
the devil rides rough-shod over the
lives and hearts of men. The other
Is IA Jingle to Beans" which deals
with a realistic and humorous side of
prison life. This being one of the last
poems which 1t may be possible to
detect from the pen of this n1ulatto
without a personal interview with the
editor of the Press. it is given here:
Rise in the morning and wish you
were dead;
Hike to your breakfast and feeling
like lead:
It's pip
With none o. your lip
And ham to the tables and fill up on
beans.
Beans, beans
Sit at the tables and juggle your
beans.
Labor and worry and fall into line;
Step off together and go on to dine;
March! One. two
And what do you do
But come to the tables and google at

Beans, beans
Sit at the tables and founder on beans!
Hi, and it's supper. so wash and away:
What is for supper? you whisper and
say:

Sidney Smith was not in general alb
sentminded; but he says that once,
when calling on a friend in London,
and being asked by the servant, who
shall | say mas called?" he could not
for the life of him recollect his own
name and stared in blank confusion at
the man for some time before it came
back to him.
The first Lord Lyttleton was very
absent-mnded. 1t is declared of him
that, when he fell into the river by the
upsetting of a boat at Hagley, "he
sank twice before he recollected that
he could swim"
tAh," unused the absent minded man,
here is a string tied about my finger.
Now, what could my wife have wanted
that to remind me of? Let me see.
He thought for some time, but could
not decide what it might have been. so
he said
"I'n go home and ask her what 1T
was"
At the door he was met by his wife,
and he Immediately asked her.
"Why my dear" she smiled. 81 tied

A bridegroom of twenty-four hours
left his wife, strolled around to his new

daughter was at home. This came from
force of habit; he had been calling

ably occurred to him that he had not
paid his usual visit.

TEE GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.

TH,E GROWTH OF SOCIALISM.
The vote throughout the country
at the recent election showed
plainly that in America socialism
has gained a footing and is making
a remarkable growth. In the words
Of some unknown bard, "the trusts
are blowing the furrow and social.
lists are sowing the seed"
While The UNION does not be-
lieve that the socialists, as a party,
will ever triumph in this country,
yet this element will grow until it
becomes an important factor IN
American politics, Just as did the
populist party Of a few years ago.
Then in the shifting of political
ideas the socialists, as a party, will
scatter again leaving, perhaps,
some beneficial evidence of their
existence behind them, Such is
political evolution.
Still the rapidly growing strength
~. ~ Z, Z. G-.rEeA. irE-F-, y. .E f., {,
Of socialism in this country will
force into prominence, and per-
ha S into legislation, reforms that
would today be welcomed by mil
lions Of our people. Among these
might be mentioned the govern
ment ownership and operation of
railways, telegraph lines, etc.
These reforms are socialistic in a
way, but they are only measures to
protect the people from robbery
and extortion.
The Union looks Upon complete
socialism as a dream-a theory
which is well nigh impossible Of
accomplishment, unless some man
shall devise means whereby hu.
man nature can be entirely made
over and the characteristic self
ishness eliminited from it. Cen
sturies Of education along socialis.
TIC lines may accomplish this mir
acle, but we doubt il.
Yet, the party Of socialism has
come--it will grow, is growing,
rapidly. Il will il its career as !
third political party, bring to pub:
lie attention many righteous idea:
and reforms. IShen#in the regular
evolurion Of American politics j
will pass away, leaving, doubtless
some beneficial evidence Of its hav
ing existed as a party.
