NIGHT IN BACIIELOR'S HALL

THEY'VE gone awayl It seems a year,
Ave! weeks of years, since they were herej
And yet it was but yesterday
+ kissed them when they went away,
AWAY from all the scorching heat so
That grips this brick walled city street.
And it was who made them 60,
Tho she, dear heart, protested SO, ..
And vowed I'd find no JOY at all,
Nor any peace, in Bachelors Hall.
T laughed at that, but she was right,
I never knew sadder night
Than this while thus I tread, alone,
These silent halls call my own. <, ....
T never thought this place could change
So utterly and seem so strange. ~.-. .'.
The night is hot, and yet chill
Pervades the house; it is so still.
I miss the living atmosphere
That confronts me when they are mere; .....:
T miss the sigh, long-drawn and deep, 80.
The music Of refreshing sleep, 49,
That undulates the gentle breast ~
Of weary motherhood at rest.
And in the unaccustomed gloom : s.
That shrouds the small adjoining room
T miss the means, the muffed screams,
or childhood troubled in its dreams
And ia this alla Nay! more miss
The strong, heart thrilling JOY, the bliss
Of warding, with protecting arm,
Between these precious hearts and harm.
O! sing your song, all ye who roam,
Your wistful song Of Home, Sweet Home,
But, tho unhappy is your lot
You will not And a sadder spot
In all the world than home, when they
Who make it home have gone away.

National Congressional Campaign.

4 CCORDING to our New York dispatches the
~ republican national congressional committee
has no money Corporations and individuals who have
been accustomed finance the congressional campaigns
are not Smelling this time. They have concluded
that after the insurance by republicans
trust prosecutions by republicans rate regulation by
republicans it doesn make any difference which party
wins Both the republican and democratic committees
are treated by capital with Indifference.
This looks like good thing 1t puts the burden Of
paying party expenses the people, where it ought
always to have been and where it should stay. When
they feel strongly any subject they will be ready
enough to supply all the funds necessary to promote
its The labor campaign illustrates this. The
American Federation, dissatisfied with the considera
ton given to it's requests by congress-, has decided
to carry campaign against members of congress
who have been particularly unresponsive to the de-
mands of organized labor and in support either of
its own candidates OF of the candidates of either
party who promise to favor abor's To do this
the members asked to contribute of their
ings. There is complaint Of lack of funds around
the headquarters of the labor politicians. They have
money to carry campaigns in Maine against Little
field, in Pennsylvania against Dalzell, in Illinois
( against Cannon, and wherever they chance to
fight whom they deem unfriendy or to help
man who is either less Objectionable OF altogether
satisfactory
How much they do remains be SEEM There
are evidences in various places that this federation
movement is having the effect which might have been
anticipated Itself class movement, it is intensity
ing class feeling and solidifying the vote outside of
organized labor against it's effort and developing the
fact that organized labor is in too much of minority
to wage that kind of campaign with uniform sue
cess. But whether labor gains loses by this move
ment which sets it apart as a distinct element in
society, the readiness with which the adherents Of
labor's cause come forward with the money needed
shows how quickly and generously the people will
respond with financial support when they are deeply
interested in the result. It may be suggested that
the federation's funds secured by levyng tax
ana that its members must pay, but that tax could
not be levied except by the consent of the taxed.
Meanwhile the republican committee folds it's hands
waiting for the republicans of the country to awake
to the dangers of the situation. What if they don It
awake? Several things may happen. The democrats
may gam majority in the house, labor may hold

imagination, to lengthen out my sub
fect by twining a flower here, wind
ing leaf there. and in other ways
giving il more life and sunshine, and
thereby bringing more warmth IN my
field of rocollcctions But after %
little reflection ! was reminded that
history does not allow imagination or
fiction to enter it, that the cold facts
must be strictly adhered to-
