a Platform In Verse.

Following is the poem from which
President Cleveland quoted in his ill-
terview in which ne Endorsed the can
didacy of Judge Parker. 1t was writ
ten by S. E. Kiser, and published n
the Chicago = Record-Herald. 1t is
worth reading:
They're fixin up the platform for tie
battle that's on hand,
They're loadin' them with language
we amt s'posed TO understand:
They're q putin big words in 'em,
SOS to make 'em look immense.
They tell about whereases and the
wherefore and the whence,
And there's a lot OF foolish people
no doubt,
Havin' not the slightest notion as to
what they're all about.
Why does each side have a platform?
For to catch the votes, that $
all,
And We'll hear lot ccncernin' what
they mean 'twixt now and fall:
They'll be sendiu' glib tonSued fell
lers here and there and all
For the purpose of expleinin' that
they're good and safe and
sound,
And they'll put meanin' in them
that amt there or meant to be,
The whole thing is game of bunco
that's as plain as A, b, c.
The Rep:lblicans'il tell us that their
platforms fair and strong,
And that every plank that fashioned
by the Democrats is wrong,
And the Democrats'll come and try TO
make us understand
That they've got the only platform
that was ever justly planned:
They'll discover hidden meanin:;
where orr TRUSTS to be he
trayed
In the "cunnin' wicked" platform che
Republicans have made
What's the good of these here plat;
forms that 60 windin' in and
don't know what they're all
about.
What's the. use of using language
that means nothin' when you're
through:
They could make it plain and simple
if they only wanted to-
Here's a platform 1 will write for
you that, if things were on the
square,
Would be all your party needed;
Wen be honest, We'll be fair

"The Pike" Costly Affair.

The Pike is said to be mile ant.
a half long. 1t does not seem half
that distance, as one walks up it, but
it seems twice that far as one walks
back, which possibly makes the av-
erage come out about right. The
shows which cluster along it are
claimed 10 have. cost S5,000,O00, one
alone costing S750,00o. Perhaps
these statements are all true, but If
they be it is still hardly fair to try
one night. 1t would come easier on
the general public to settle for 1t On
the ipstallment plan. St Louis is not
health resort, however, and the den
liens of the Pike are leading a siren
uous life while it lasts. Most of the
shows run practically continuously
from morning until night, and some
very tired people must seek their
couches within these gaudfly deco
rated palaces of mirth and fun
Of course. the Pike, taken as a
whole, much resembles those which
have preceded it. 1t is larger, more
elaborate better in many respects.
