cratic members OF the force to contribute
to the campaign fund and John Edward
McNabbs. the bailiff OF Council, and vii.

The policeman, on the other hand, say

merit alone.
Each Democratic officer las received
the following letter:
."Dear Sir-Some time since we sent
you notice of assessment for campaign
purposes. We then told you that we wei g

not think that the party should be remem-
bered when it is entering upon an i'm
portant campaign like the present? The

AT THE TABLE

The years have sped since first I led
You to the table, dear,
And you sat over there alone
And | sat smiling here.
A year or two flew past and YOU
No longer sat alone.
A little one was in your arms,
Your darling and my own.
And then another year or so.
And some one else was there.
ana Willie sat near me, you know
While Trottie claimed your care.
The years have sped since first 1 led
You to the table, dear,
And you looked queenly at the foot
And felt kingly here.
To-day, as I look down at you,
On either side l see
A row OF hungry little ones
All gazing up at me.
We've added leaves, one after one.
And you are far away
Aye, thrice as far, my dear, as on
That happy, happy day.
But though We sit so far apart
- You there and l up here
Two rows OF hearts from my fond heart
Stretch down to you, my dear.
Thank God for every extra leaf
The table holds to-day,
AND may we never know the grief
Of putting one away.

A curious state of affairs exists in Miss
issippi, as remarked by Mr.. Ward, OF
Canton, that state, who has just paid a
vi it to this city. He says the state Is
making tremendous strides, everyway,
in wealth, population and happiness.
Land now rents for from SIS to $50 per
acre ;the state is gridironed with railroads;
and MANY colored man, with his wife
and children, can grow from $1,000 to
So 600 worth OF cotton in a year, besides
pips, cows and chickens. And he adds
that the negro children get just the same
amomt OF public money, proata, for
education as the white. But dispatch
from jackson Miss, says the state has its
treasury but 81 So, and there is no relief
in sight No taxes are due, and the
legislature cannot bring about relief.
Which of these is fairy tale Mr.. Ward
does not say. One hears very queer
stories in Washington from travellers
who stop at the hotels.

Harold Challis expects to return to
Italy about the middle of August to
pursue his work in grand opera. He
left Chicago three years ago with the
intention of becoming a grand opera
singer. and he says he is confident of
success.
Mr.. ChaIliss is not boastfuI. He
says his voice is now making him a

making a thousand dollars a song.
When he went to Europe for the pur-
