"The "Washerwoman's Song.1
BY ECOENE WAHE, OF FT. SCOIT.
In a very bumble cot,
In a rather quiet spot,
In the suds and the soap
Worked aVoman full of hope ;
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort of undertone,
" With a Savior for a friend,
lie will keep me to the end."
Sometimes happening along
I had heard the semi-song,"
And I often used to smile.
More in sympathy than guile,
But I never said a word
In regard to what I heard ;
As she sung about her friend
AVho would keep her to the end.
Not In sorrow nor In glee
Working all day long was she.
As her children three or four,
Played aroundher on the floor;
But In monotones the song
She was humming all day' long ;
" With a Savior for a friend,
Ue will keep me to the end."
It's a song I do not sing;
For I scarce believe a thing
Of the stories that are told
Of the miracles of old ;
But I know that her belief
Is the anodyne of grief;
And will always be a friend
That will keep her to the end.
Just a trifle lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be, '
But ncr spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles In the clothes,
And though widowed and alone
Cheered her with the monotone,
Of a Savior and a friend,
AVho would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub,
On the washboard in the tub,
While the baby sopped In sud3,
Rolled and tumbled In the dud3,
Or was paddling In the pools ;
With old scissors stuck In spools,
She still humming of her friend,
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creed3
Have their root Inhuman needs.
And I would not wish to strip
From that washerwoman's lip
Any song that she can sing,
Any hope that songs can bring,
For the woman has a friend
Who wUl keep her to the end.
Eepnblican Depression.
Sunday's Xew York Herald contained
the following editorial: "At last there
is a promise of a democratic party. Mr.
Carlisle was last night chosen speaker
by the democratic caucus at "Washing
ton. That means a change, a great and
beneficent change in democratic poli
tics. It means that the old fogies of
the party, the men afraid of their prin
ciples, have lost their hold, and the
young men of the party, the men to
whom politics mean something more
than mere office getting, have come to
the front. If the democratic leaders
have energy and intelligence the action
of last evening means a sweeping-democratic
victory next year. For the first
time in many years there is before the
party; a fair prospect of such .popular
f aver;ae they liave long been see&mgi

Interviewing Burton.
A Kansas City Times reporter met
Representative Burton one day las week,
and at once proceeded to interview him.
The conversation is given below, and,
with the exception of that 1,000 majori
ty, Mr. Burton seems to have a tolera
bly fair idea of the condition of Kansas
politics:
Mr. J. It. Burton, of Abilene, repre
sentative from Dickinson county in the
Kansas legislature, passed through the
city last evening on his way to Atclii
son. Mr. Burton was full of enthus
iasm over the growth of Abilene, the
prospects of the town being more prom
ising that at any previous point in its
history.
"Who will carry Dickinson county
for governor at the next election V" a
Times reporter asked in the course of a
desultory conversation with Mr. Burton.
"Governor Glick, I'm afraid. Dick
inson county can roll up 1,000 republi
can majority, but Glick can carry the
county against many of the men who
are now being mentioned in connection
with the republican nomination."
"Do you think that there is any show
for St. John?"
"If the republicans put him at the
head of the ticket Glick will snow him
under to the tune of 50,000 votes."
"Can any prohibitionist be elected in
Kansas?"
"I do not believe that any out and
out prohibitionist can carry Kansas."
"Who is likely to receive the republi
can nominations"
"Well, there is considerable talk of
nominating John A. Martin, who, if
nominated, will be beaten by Governor
Glick. Por my part, I do not consider
it good republican policy to nominate
any of the old line politicians. They
have no strength with the people. Put
at the head of the ticket such a man as
Lucian Baker, of Leavenworth, or Eu
gene Ware of Fort Scott, and it is prob
able that Kausas may be reclaimed from
the democrats. On the other hand, if
the republicans persist in pursuing the
prohibition will-o'-the-wisp they can ex
pect nothing save a very bad black eye
at the next state election."
Sample Prohibition.
Buffalo Express.
InlSSO General Kilpatrick was one
of the Bepublican stumpers in Maine.
Senator Blaine was chairman of the
State convention. One day, several
stumpers met at Mr. Blaine's house in
Augusta, to get new orders, and take a
fresh start. Blaine said to Kilpatrick,
"I want you to go to Danforth. You
know we have a prohibitory law in
Maine, and you have probably found
out that it isn't always observed. But
everybody admits that in Danforth it is
strictly lived up to. Opinion is all one
way there and I want you to mention
temperance in your speech." "All
right," said the general, and off he start
ed. Arrived at Danforth, a committee
man met him, and the first thing he
said was, "General, this is a strictly
prohibition town, and we would like to
have you say something about temper
ance in your speech. But as you are
an old army man, and may feel the want
. of a little stimulous, I have brought
along this" and he produced, bottle

produced from a chest a bottle an d glass.
A colored boy showed the gentleman to
his room, and in its privacy said, "You
know, boss, we don't have anything to
drink here, but if you want anything I
can get it fur ye, boss." Kilpatrick
had several more similar adventures be
fore he got out of Danforth, and de
clared that in that strictest of all pro
hibition towns, he got more invitations
to drink than in any other town he vis
ited during the campaign. We feel
quite sure that Kilpatrick went to his
grave believing that prohibition does
not prohibit.
The Truth Will Out,
The Danville, "Virginia, riot lias been
a sweet morsel to the republican press,
but the truth of the matter is coming
to the front. The iNew York Times, a
republican journal of some hanor, says
in a late issue: "Further investigation
of the Danville affair by our correspon
dent fails to justify the construction put
upon it by those anxioufj to give it a po
litical purpose. It war, undoubtedly an
incident of the excitement wrought up
in a contest in wliich an effort was
made to draw the color line. The feel
ing between whites and blrvcks was
such that a street row was liable to be
precipitated at any moment, and it
came as the result of a personal alter
cation with which politics had nothing
directly to do,' bub race feeling much."
Copiah county is not yet accounted for,
but when the .cacts are known will
doubtless go like the Danville riot.
Evacuation Day a Great Day for Ire
land. 2T. Y. Sun: After John Kelly and
his Tammany braves fell out of the line
on Evacuation Day, their place was
homesteaded by a whitehaired Irislim an
from the seventh ward. He was chl
in the costume which he wore when h 3
first landed on our shore. Antique bro
gans covered his feet, and well-trod
woolen stockings fitted the calves of his
legs. Corduroy Knickerbockers with
four buttons on the knee and a green
satin waistcoat were partly concealed
by an uncombed freize coat with more
tail than waist. The coat itself was
mostly liidden by a genuine Donegal
ulster. A clay dudhean reposed under
the band of his Henry Gratton Hat,and
a black thorn shillelah nestled under his
arm. With his flowing locks, he looked
like a well-to-do peasant fresh from the
Galtee Mountains. His friends said
that he was Bobert White, the well
known editor of the Sunday Democrat.
He seemed to be about 40 years old
when he fell into line at Fourteenth st.
He looked 50 years old at Houston St.,
and at least 70 years old from the re
viewing stand at Bowling Green. The
shrill notes of quails were heard as he
passed the City Hall Park.
Mr. White was the only member of
the Tammany Society who marched to
the Battery. He was warmly greeted
by Gen. Ben. Butler, and sailed toward
Wall street linked arm-in-arm with
Harry Howard.

Carlisle's Views.
General Underwood, manager of, the
Cincinnati Ncvcs-Journal, who has been
several days working for Carlisle,
had a long interview Sunday with that
gentleman, who is his personal friend
and neighbor. Carlisle very briefly ex
pressed his views as to the policy that
should be pursued by the majority. He
said he recognized the fact that It Was
the principle which he was the repre
sentative of that had elected him, and
it was something to be thankful for.
The democratic party at last realized
the principle affecting the interests of
the great majority of the people wliich
was vastly more important to the party
and country than the success of any
man. He interpreted his election td
mean from this time forth the demo
cratic party was to go to the people"
with an aggressive and definite policy
and adhere to it because it was right
and deserved to be. He said the com
mittees would be organized with a view
solely to- the fitness of the members for
the various subjects of legislation, which
command the attention of congresa and
without undue regard to-their relation
to him in tho recent contest.
