The Unemployed

I am the shifting sand beneath the walls
Ye build and call the State am the Fear
That haunts you in your boastings and your dreams
Your dead youths lost occasions Yea, am
The corse beneath the fabric of your Dream
I am the shifting sand beneath the State.
Your laws, your customs, creeds, undermine.
| laugh at your conventions, meant to bind
Your Creeds TO me they purvey only lies.
So as we build, bury that we build;
The walls we upon me do decay.
I am the dream Of Evil ye have dreamed;
The uncouth Hun, the Vanda and the Goth;
The savage again to leer and laugh
Into forgetfulness the domes ye build
Your learning culture, vsons--these shall fade
And shall pour your wisdom into pools
To sink, and fail, and so be lost to man.
I am the youngest Anarch of the world;
I neither love nor hate, only leer,
A gbbering ghost of manhood, DER your dreams.
I am your Brother driven forth to die!
These your cities, empires and demesnes-
And these your does-to toll land still to TOLL
To render unto Caesar, not the 1.-THE,
But ALL that Caesar of his will bestow
That in his wisdom recompense is writ
The heot l. your brother equal born!
These are your cities; will make them dust!
These are your empires they shall disappearl
These your demesnes-Forgetfune shall be
Of all we said, or did, or hoped, or sung
Ye did inherit much, and did take all;
So shall ravsh in its bloom your hope,
Shall make your boast of culture all lie
Shall make you know the emptiness of dreams!
Hear once again the word of him we scorn!
l am that Ishmae we have doomed to die
am the fair Occasions We have flung
Aside void of value and of life
I am the Fear that haunts you in your halls
And senates, and the temples of your God.
And your systems crumble and decay
Heed we'll that did tell you and now tell:
l am the shifting sand beneath the State!

BID FAREWELL
TO ]. c. HIGGINS
Retiring American Consul at
at dundee HOROred by
ScO.ChlDuSineSS Men

John c. Higgins, Of Delaware, who for
l. years had been U. S. Consul at Dundee,
Scotland, was gwen a dinner by tina
Chamber Of Commerce of that city on
September 30. The movement TO honor
Mr.. Higgins was initiated by the Cham
Der of Commerce, and the suggestion was
enthusiastically seconded by the commer-
cial community Of the city anu district.
The function was largely attended-the
gathering being representative Of tho
trading interests Of the city-and the re-
firing consul -as accorded a hearty send
of. w. Stanley Hollis, his successor IN Of
fee, was at the same time cordially well
coined. Ex-Lord Provost lsongair the
President of the Chamber Of Commerce,
occupied the chair, and the toast Of the
evening was proposed by Sir Carlaw Mar
tin, LII d.
At the conclusion of the dinner Mr.. His-
gins was presented by the Consular Corps
with a rose bowl. Thomas Murdoch, tho
president of the corps. in handing over
the gf' said in Dundee Mr.. HIiggn had
shown self to be a man who was try
ing TO hsako the world little better than
he found It. and some OF them thought he
had succeeded. Mr.. Higgins, in repy' sa d
the consular corps had justified its exist
ence by bringing together in friendship
the representatives Of the different ma
tion of the world.
There were a number'of speeches made
Chairman Sir Carlaw Martin said:
In social intercourse Mr.. Higgins has
revealed to many of us a lovable, pa
ture-a nature that instinctively feN
sponded to what was chivalrous and
tender; that sought out the best; tha\
appreciates generously; Fsa-s-- --oIeii.
candid, copious in self expression, and
yet had wise reticences. He doubted
If any one ever heard an unkindly
or indiscreet word fall from Mr.. Hig-
ginss lips. When they drank to Mr..
Higgins they wished to convey to him
their sentiments of respect, esteem,
and admiration for the part he had
played these twelve years in the life
Of Dundee. In his official relations
with the commerce he had been all
that the most exacting business sense
could desire. In his own person he
had worthily represented the great
people Of the United states. whose
finest qualities appeared in him. In
the intimate circle he had been a
centre Of humane influences.
In acknowledging the speeches Mr..
Higgins said it was a grateful hour
in ones life when such a company as
that was met to do him honor. II
showed that he had not lived alto
gether In vain. Twelve years ago he
took over the consulate from Mr.. Saw
age. to whom they had given such a
testimonial as this. IT was the jubi-
lee year Of Her Majesty Queen Vic-
toria, and the world had sent mes
sengers Of the highest rank bearing
congratulations to her and her people.
With these he was heartily in SYM
pathy. Mr.. Higgins was indebted to
Dundee for twelve years Of extra
ordinary hospitality. He thought to
mention names. but found the list
would exhaust his limits. In so long
term there must have been moments
when they of the consulate did not
suit Dundee people, but they never
once said so.

of the $4,000 in the estimate cost of
the army's rations for the current year

Mr.. Aldrich should look after the millionaire
cotton manufacturers in his part of the country
who planning to shut down or curtail the
hours of labor for some months. They have al
ways been well taken care of by the Senator
An excuse for the proposed shut down is that
the price of raw cotton is too high but the work
ers in the mill suspect that their employers
want to cut down wages, and this is prob
ably the correct explanation. The cotton manu-
facturers have grown luxuriously rich. but the
more they get the more they seem to want.
There appears to be no limit to their avarice.
Doubtless there will be a stirring fight, labor
trouble, if they carry out their proposed pro-
gram.
