The Cruise Of the Fender Ship.

The Fender Ship Is q beautiful boat
ye-ho. ye-ho. ye-ho!
With Captain Curly Locks on deck, to
the beautiful isles we go;
10 the wonderful land of Story Book
that lies in the fairy sea,
Where the waters dance in the blithe
$ romance of the lightheart, child
heart glee.
Ye-ho, ye-ho, we speed away
Out of the harbor's dusk and gray!
ye-ho, we glide in the eventide; ye-ho,
we swing and sweep,
Till the anchors slip on their silver
chains in the Port Of Dreamland
Sleep!
The Fender Ship sails out each night
before the clock strikes eight,
Across the bar where firelcgs star the
4 chimney's golden CRATE.
Ye-ho. the captain sings, while !, ye-ho
in answer call.
As round his curly locks the sands Of
golden slumber fall.
Ye-ho. ye-ho, to islands sweet
We join the song and-story feet
Ye-ho. we. sing, as on we swing across
the oceans CLEAN,
bad's golden dream!
( The Fender Ship Is deep and wide, and
soft and snug and tight,
With rockers to the. left of 1t and rock
ers to the right;
From Ravens Of the fireside glow, with
magic carpets there,
It sails at eight across the CRATE on
80 oyr
Ye-ho. ye-ho, while soft winds blow
To isles Of sugar plum we go.
Ye-ho, we drift where palm trees lift
and mangrove blossoms are,
Beyond the capes OF WEAKNESS and DER
loves harbor bar!
The Fender Ship. is all our own-we,re
M captain and we're mate,
s We turn the wheel and point the bow,
with never fear of fate
For tho the storm we venture forth,
by boreal currents shook,
In calm Of sleep we know she'll creep
to Ports of Story Book.
Ye-ho, ye-ho, the winds are sweet,
We tread the deck with dancing feet.
/ Ye-ho, we sail. while Ger the rail the
.mermaids float and sing
Ye-ho, she goes, by palm and rose, by
violet shore Of Spring!
The Fender Ship is a bonny boat, so
snug beneath the moon,
So beautiful to sail on her to sleeps
soft slumber tune;
So sweet the golden course she steers
across the fairy sea.
Round isles Of song. and isles of rest
and isles of pillow glee.
Ye-ho, ye-ho, across the bar
We set the compass by the star!
Ye-ho, we wing, where mermaids sing
and all the childhood visions
CLEAN;
Ye-ho. and lo!4her anchors go. home-i
b FIN into the Ports of Dream.

nave q ready answer. Ever SluCo tHe
issue of Cummins or progressive re-
publicanism has been drawn in Iowa
the volunteer workers who have re-
tired Mr. Blythe and his railroad inter-
ests from control of state politics have
found the recipients of every $1,000 and
Sc. 600 federal salary in Iowa working
against them. These federal appoin-
tees as rule are shrewd and astute
politicians They have travelled on
passes and seemed to have months and
months of idle time to put into every
campaign which has been waged
against Mr. Blythe. The whole federal
crowd, including many of the postmas-
tiers, altho not all of them, have kept
the Cummins fellows spending Their
own money and driving country pre-
cincts in order to do business in Iowa
politics.
Now slate is prepared for the APP
pointment OF a dozen or so men to fat
salaries on Uncle Sans pay roll, and
every last man named on the slate is
one who will go right to work for Mr..
Blythe in the next campaign and give
good account of himself to his mas
ter.
Mr.. Delivers troubles arise from the
fact that he has not yet learned on
which side of the street his friends re-
side. Last summer. when Governor
Cummins sought to assure him, in be-
half Of the progressive republicans of
Iowa, that LATE Young was lying when
he told Of a conspiracy to dethrone the
senator. he replied with a letter en-
dorsing Mr.. Perkins, which was fitting
" cartooned in Mr. Perkins paper as
a bucket of waste water from g. second
story window in reply to a gay wooer's
song. Mr., Dolliver came closer to the
Iowa situation and realized his mis-
take, and did what he could to make
amends While acting as peacemaker at
the state convention. 1t was not until
after the convention that he realized
that he was marked for slaughter by
the railroad machine. His appeal to
the people OF Iowa to save him from
the juggernaut is yet ringing in our
ears, for it had the tone of sincere
alarm. Then it was that Mr. Dolliver
should have been able to see who were
cision to support a slate for regi-
ment of new troops to fight those
friends in Iowa ought to have been re-
vised. The trouble the politicians from
the Tenth and Fourth and Eleventh
districts are making for him is natural
in the game of politics as it is played.
If such congressman as Lacey and
Cousins and Hull, and others which
might be named, and the whole list
of federal office holders, had refused to
consider it their sworn duty to help
Mr.. Blythe fight progressive republi-
canism in Iowa, the senatorship would
not now be involved in the appointment
of an attorney for the northern dis
trict OF Iowa. Mr.. Dolliver will be
returned to the senate, and he ought
to take with him some sound advice
for several other gentlemen who like to
live in washington or report to WASH
ington in an official capacity.

THE CRIME AT CHARLES CITY.
Huntington Hawkeye.l


The courts of Iowa are what the
people have made them The people
rule. They elect Legislators and execu-
tive and judicial officers. If the laws
are defective, there is lawful way to
amend or repeal. If administrative or
judicial officers fail in their duty to the
state and the public. the remedy is at
the ballot box, or by impeachment or
removal. The constitution provides
every required remedy. Lynch law is
not one of them Lynching Is crime.
There is no justification for it. It Is a
sorry day when the press or pulpit, or
any citizen condones it and seeks for
reasons. There is no reason, there is
no Justification; 1t is simply bastard
~ crime, treason to the state and an
outrage upon civilized society. It is
not only as wicked in Iowa as in Mis-
sissippi, 1t is worse, because here we
enjoy higher average Of intelligence
and civilization and we have not the
terrible race question that haunts the
south. No Iowa paper, and no patriotic
citizen Of Iowa, can afford to palliate
the crime at Charles City. 1t is wholly
bad, a blot upon the state and without
one redeemirg feature in justification.

"Of course, lynching is bad. and the
people Of Charles City will come in
time to wish they had let Cullen go
rather than have done as they did,"
comments the Nevada Representative,
"but they are credited with being
thoroughly representative Iowa peo-
pie, and their reasoning is UNDER
standable. The complaint they had
against the laws uncertainty is
echoed widely in the state, and in
the larger sense it is recognized that
their action illustrates a condition,
the responsibility for which is greatly
divided"

OUR FINANCIAL TRIBUTE 10 EUROPE.

n N AGENT for one Of the large steamship
companies estimates that before the end
OF the year between 5000 and 100000 foreigners,
who have been living in this country will have
returned to their native cmes The low steam
ship rates and the fact that some industries are
retrenching are given as reasons for the exodus
OF the foreigners. But although many return, the
flow ofimmgradon to America continues. Those
going to the continental countries carry with them
great amount OF wealth produced in the United
States.
The amount Of money that is transferred by
these returning foreigners, by those who send
money to their relatives and by the American
tourists abroad, is a vast sum, and drain upon
our national resources. No nation not naturally
so wealthy as America could afford the loss with
out feeling its effects seriously The loss does not
appear in the balance of trade reports, and can
be only conjectured

JUDGE Gray for President.

Dover Republican.
The Delaware friends Of Judge George
Gray have apparently determined TO
launch his Presidential boom on time
this trip. with the memory of the un-
seemly squabble at the Democratic State
Convention of 1904 stlll fresh, this may or
may not be considered a wise move on the
part of our Democratic friends. It's just
as you view IL. Bryan is still In the field,
and SO also are the Bryanites Of Della
ware. The starting of the fight between
the clans thus early In the game IS / kelly
TO result in things becoming rather heated
by the time delegate selections are TO be
made. And it has started with a rush.
This week a number of Judge Gray's
Democratic friends held a conference in
Wilmington and so.emnly resolved that
the hope OF the Democratic party Of this
nation centres in George Gray Of Della
ware. Next week the Democratic ASS ca-
tion Of the same city IS to enterta VIII
liam Jennings Bryan, and some Bryan
resolves can be depended on. The clash
Is on, and thus entereuh another wedge
to rip up the already distracted Democ-
racy Of Delaware.
