Washington Post:
Rex PODuli.
Though am the rags that a pauper
wore,
And lclung to his wretched frame
As he begged his bread fsom door TO

And l Jared his measure of shame.
lis l who enter the hemes of the
rich
Aud abide as favored guest;
And the soldier dead in the outer
ditch
Holds me close to his lifeless breast.
| furnish the food for the mon who
toll,
comfort the feeble and old;
For me are grown the fruits of the
soil,
Aud l give to the miser his gold
For me all men-the low and The
great
In reverence fail to their knees:
While rulers make for nation and
state
BY juggling the polls as | please.
oh, am the rags that pauper wore
Changed in form by the whirring
mill;
I've purchased your souls, We rich
and poor,
Hail to your king-the Two

'IRE.-A small blaze il

FIRE.-A small blaze in the
"Millender Block" .occasioned a
good deal of excitement about nine
o'clock last Saturday morning. The
fire was almost extinguished before
the ti;e department arrived on the
scene, although the hose cart--in
charge of Sergeant Rutherford
made quick run. But lit e.damage
was done and tie cause Of the blaze
seems a mystery, as it was in the
rear of the chimney in room oc-
cupied by f. A. Stock, who uses
natural gas, and it is not at all likely
that it resulted from defective
chimney. 1t was very lucky, how
ever, that the fire was discovered
when it was and extingulshed. If
the "Millcnder Block" ever burns
several thousands Of dollars in prop
erty will certainly go up in flames.

The Huntington Dispatch says:
s'Hon. John r. Graham the we'll
known attorney is preparing a general
primary bill to be introduced at this
session Of the legislature. The
bill will provide that one primary
be held each election year, in which
all parties will nominate their candi-
dates for the Officer, the expense TO
be paid by each county. Several Of
the states have such a system in ef.
feet and itworks satisfactorily. 1t
abolishes the peruicious system of
assessing candidates which is, used
by political rings to shut ont men of
limited means. The bill is being
framed along lines which will appeal
TO public sentiment and there Is
every probability that it will he re-
ceived favorably by the state legis-
lature. Such a law is one of the
crying needs of the time and its adop-
ton would be the fret step toward
securing purity in state politics."

Enlargement Decided Upon.

The Wesson Cotton Mills, in Copi-
ali county, the largest cotton mills in
this state; have decided upon an Ell.
largement Of the capacity Of their
plant, On account Of the scarcity of
labor and the impossibility to get
skilled labor in this territory, the Wes-
son Mills have had a number of idle
looms for number Of years. Captain
Saunders, president of the mills has
brought back seventy-fve- operators
from the East, who have been installed
comfortably and are now at work.
With these operators, machinery was
put into operation that had not been
running for years Capt. Saunders
expects still another installment Of
operators from New Bedford section
in few days, and when. these arrive
the mill will be making full time and
largely increasing their capacity.
These mills have not been able in years
to keep up with their orders and have
to turn away thousands and thousands
of dollars on this account. The recent
general increase in demand for cotton
goods all over the world has put ad
ditional demands on the mills in the
south and the Wesson Mills find it
necessary to increase their capacity.

New York.-The famous yacht May
flower is to go under the auctioneer' g
hammer. Secretary Morton has sent
instructions to Admiral Coghlan at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard to have the con-
verted cruiser disma0tled of all arti-
cles of value, after which a board will
be appointed to survey, appraise and
condemn the craft. The Mayfower ii
one of the luxuries purchased by the
government at the beginning of the
Spanish War. A small sized fortune
was expended in buying her and fitting
her with batteries. The yacht has .
bad habit of getting out of repair. A
board recently reported that 100000
was needed to put the Mayfower into
first class condition again. This was
regarded as more than she was worth.
and the order to get rid of her fol
lowed.
