who say we cherish far-off feud,
Stll nurse the ancient grudges?
Show me the title of this brood
OF sef-apponted judges;
Their name. their race their nation, clan,
And We will teach them whether
We do not, as none others can,
Feel think and work togetherl
Both speak the tongue that Milton spoke,
Shakespeare and Chatham welded,
And Washington and all his folk
When their just claim was yielded.
In it both lisp, both learn, both pray,
Dirge death, and thus the tether
Grows tighter, tenderer every day,
That binds the two togt Their.
Our ways are one, and one our aim,
And one will be our story.
Who fight for Freedom, not for Fame,
From duty, not for glory,
Both stock of the old Home, whore blow
Shamrock, and rose, and heather,
And every year link arms and go
Through its loved haunts together.
Should envious aliens plan and plot
'Gainst one. and now the ether
They swift would learn how strong the
knot
Binds brother unto brother.
How quickly they would change their
tack
And show the recrcant feather,
Should Star-ind-S Stripe. and Union ak,
But float mast-hgh together.
Now let us give one hearty grip,
AS by true men Is given
And vow fraternal fellowship
That never shall he riven;
And with our peaceful flags unfurl d,
BE fair or foul the weather,
Should need arise, face all the world
And stand or fall together

FACTS ABOUT LONGEVITY
Some Curious Statistics That

The countries of Southern Europe are

worth living. How could they escape death
by ennui-undoubtedly a foe to the per-
sistence of vital visvr?
An explanation is suggested by the fact
that human life can be protraCted by
combination Of abStcmiuusness and Qnict'

Notwithstanding the presence of Mayor Schmitz at the ringside for the
 purpose of seeing that A FAKE? h e J e fries -Fitzsim-
 mons fight was carried out and ended in good faith. from this ground for suspecting that the finish at least was a fake. Fitzsfmmons. unquestionably the greatest middle weight fighter the world has seen, and it's ablest ring general, is primarily Q fighter for money. He cares nothing for glory or titles. By agreeing before hand that the contest should end with Tn a certain number of rounds, the lighters were in position to make a fortune betting through commissioners in hundreds of bedrooms throughout the country.
 Ordinarily, of course, men fighting for the heavyweight championship of the world could not afford to fight ether than "on the level" But Fitz- simmons is an old man, as prize fighters go, and meant to retire from the ring anyhow. It seems to be plaus- lble that he might have arranged with Jeffries to go in and make a vigorous fight for few rounds, in order to give the spectators a run for their mCney' the contest to end in victory for Jeff fries ,the heavy end of the purse going to Fitzsimmons. These possibilities will occur to people who are asked to believe that the quick-witted Fitzsim- mons let his mind wander sufficiently to drop his guard and give Jeffries an opening for a knockout blow-espe- cially when it is remembered that Fitzsimmons and Jim Hall were once guilty of . deliberate fake
 Should the public accept the view that Jeffries and Fitzsimmons were guilty of going through with a pre- arranged fight, the boxing industry will be long time recovering from the stigma. Indeed, present day fighters are, none of them, above suspicion, and most of them are scrubs Poor old John L. Sullivan will probably always have the distinction of having been the only honest prize fighter the world has known.

 '.An esteemed contemporary out west, jumping to the conclusion, De- cause he was allowed to make windy pration on the Fourth of July, MT Bourke Cochran is to become potent factor in Tammany hall, felicitates the democratic party upon 'the return of intellect and character to the councils of the organization" We are not par ticipants in the secrets of Tammany purposes, but we venture the predlc- ton that our contemporary's anticipa- ton will not be realized. That Tam many needs an injection of both intel lect and character does not permit of question, but that even the Hon. Tim Sullivan, the real boss al present, cyni- cally daring though he be, will so far disregard his reputed sagacity as to attempt to supply those qualities in the person of MT. Bourke Cochran passes comprehension. Our opinion of MT. Croker as a political leader is well known. No influence has been so baneful or so hurtful to the democratic party as his since the days of Tweed, but nobody who knows him has ever denied his possession of certain traits of personal loyalty that are not only admirable in themselves, but also formed the basis of his extraordinary political power. His notions of public morality are crude and false, but in a personal way he is to MT. Cochran as an angel of light. In point of intellect, moreover, strange as it may seem to some of our readers, he is immeasur- ably superior. MT. Cochran is not an able man; he simply has the gift of gab, as indicated in his Fourth of July haranSue- And his character, or lack of it, has come under the electric light which developed the fact, on his own testimony, that he got for himself and associates more than S300,000 for caus- ing a suit to be brought to prevent combination of business interests, and then causing it to be withdrawn. The truth came out in a suit of one of MT

Croker never engaged in this kind of ''business,'' so peculiar to Wall street that one of our very richest millionaires was cartooned in the daily papers the other day as holding up his partners in a similar combination, and excused solely be- cause he is an octogenarian. Charac- ter can come into the local democratic party only from those who have it to give, such, for example, as MT. Alex ander E. Orr, MT. Ashbel P.
