The True Reformer.

He stood upon the worlds broad
Threshold; wide
The din of battle and of slaughter
rose;
He saw God stand upon the weaker
side,
That sank in seeming loss before
it's foes;
Many there were who made great
haste and sold
Unto the cunning enemy their
swords.
He scorned their gifts of fame, and
power, and gold,
And underneath their soft and flow.
cry words
Heard the cold serpent hiss; therefore
he went
And joined him to the weaker part.
Fanatic named, and fool, yet well con-
tent
So he could be the nearer to Gods
heart,
And feel its solemn pulses sending
blood
Through all the widespread veins Of
endless good.

An JrJ6n blessing.

While she clasped her hands and

Adown on her breast dropped the old

And as one who was speaking from

She whispered then, "God love you!"
I crossed her body with holy oil,
From the dimming eyes to the ach.

And again she said, "God love you!"

STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF
HEM EPIN. PROBATE COURT.
In the matter OF the estate Of Emanuel
Gilpin observer., 1910-02-24
Why James Russell Lowell. When Re.
tiring from Post Of Minister to
England, Wasn't 5anqueted
BY Fellow Countrymen.


For many years now it has been the
custom of Americans residing in Eng
land, or visiting there at the time, to
give farewell dinner testimonial of
some sort-usually a great banquet, to
which prominent Englishmen are in
vited-to our retiring representative
at the court of st. James. James Rus
sell Lowell, who was our minister to
England from 1880 to 1885. was not
given such testimonial by his coun-
trymen. an omission which he felt
keenly. Whether or not he ever knew
why he was not SO honored l do not
know. but here is the real reason.
and one which brings in the names of
two other internationally distinguished
Americans, the late Judge Alphonso
Taft, father of President Taft, and
the late Moncure d. Conway. author.
preacher and historian.
At the time that Mr.. Lowell was
minister. Gen. L. o. Merritt. who be-
came collector OF the port of New
York after President Hayes had re-
moved Chester A. Arthur from that
post. was consul general to London.
Shortly before his return home, Gen.
Merritt gave large dinner at which
his guests were men of prominence
with whom he had been associated as
consul general and the dinner was
somewhat in the nature of farewell
banquet to them.
At the dinner the general placed
Minister Lowell on his right, and next
to Mr.. Lowell he seated Moncure d.
Conway, a most influential member of
London's American colony But no
sooner had the dinner got fairly well
under way than the host noticed that
Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Conway engaged
IN no conversational circumstance
that caused him some embarrassment,
since It was plain to see that there
existed between the two men a decid-
ed coolness of which the host had
been in absolute ignorance.
The next day, while the consul gen.
eral was still worrying over his unin-
territorial social break" Mr.. Conway
presented himself
Gen. Merritt" he said, 81 have
come to apologize to you for what you
may have thought a rudeness or a dis
courtesy on my part at your dinner
OF yesterday. But it was simply impos-
sible for me to engage in conversation
with Mr.. Lowell. and l will tell you
why.
'One OF the dearest friends I have
is Judge Alphonso Taft of Cincinnati.
l made his acquaintance while l was
Gilpin observer., 1910-02-24
ntuitions of a Politician

bitterly attncked the so-called reform
element in the Republican party for
causing ceT ain removals of federal
officials by the new administrations
speech that was defiant challenge to
President Hayes and Secretary of the
Treasury John Sherman in behalf of
the so-called stalwarts, the radical Sec
ton of the party in the state And
| added that the speech had caused in
tense excitement and was taken to in
dicate set purpose Of the stalwarts,
under the leadership of Senator Conk.
ling, constantly to give battle to Pres.
ident Hayes and his administration.
For some time after had finished
my recita. Mr. Tilden piled me with
many questions, seeking particularly
to know OF the personnel OF the con-
vention. Then he became silent, and
for long time looked very thought
fully into the fire. At last he put
his lips close to my ear.
Young man." he said-and | shall
never forget his impressive tone-"my
political intritions are infallible. They
now tell me the meaning of this
Rochester convention and reveal to
me the hidden purpose that is in Sen.
ator Conkling's mind. From this time
on the senator and those who regard
him as their leader will strive to con.
centrate anc organize sentiment in the
Republican party so as to force the
nomination of Gen. Grant for a third
term at the Republican national con.
vention in $780,"
went away, puzzled. Gen. Grant,
who had retired from the presidency
in Marcn. was then on his triumphal
tour of the world. and until Mr. Tilden
mentioned his name there had been
nothing said about him. But when.
months later. 1t first became evident
to the players in presidential politics
that Senator Conkling and his follow
ers were planning cunningly to secure
n third term nomination for Grant,
Mr.. Tilden's strange prophecy came
back to me. and ever since then have
believed that all through his public
career he was guided in large meas
ure by what he was pleased to tell me
were his infallible political intuitions.
