EVERY VEAB.
C. S. WHITE.
The poor are getting poorer
Every year;
Starvation's getting surer
Every year;
Nor is the prospeot brighter,
Tnat their burdens will be lighter,
For their chains are growing tighter.
Every year.
The rioh are growing stronger
Every Year;
Their purse is getting longer
Every year;
For they rule with iron hand,
The producer of the land,
And the lion's share demand,
Every year.
Babes for bread are orying
Every year;
By starvation more are dying
Every year;
Their cries so loud ascending,
With groans of slaves are blending.
And hearts of angels rending,
Every year.
The rich heed not the orying
Every year;
Nor the anguish of the dying
Every year;
But are waiting for the hour,
When in their pomp and porter,
More homes they may devour.
Every year.
The rights to homes are ceasing
Every year;
And tenants are increasing
Every year;
For every law that passes,
Wealth is given to the classes,
By grinding down the masses,
Every year.
Though they toil without ceasing
Every year;
Their poverty's inoraaslng
Every year;
To escape the ills betiding,
With grim poverty abiding,
There are thousands suiciding,
Every year.

'*The democratic party," threw
away the greatest opportunity a party
has ever had and now they are destroy-
ed as a party. Discontent of democrats
and publlo distrust; a general disgust
at their failure to do what was expec-
ted of them when given the power, is
what has defeated the democrats at
this time, and the defeat, in my judg-
ment, is lasting- If, when the demo-
orats came into power in both branches
of congress and the presidency, they
had done what was positively the
wish of the majority of the people of
ihe country and what it was their duty
to do, they would have been one ofche
great parties of the future. One or
the other of the great parties had to
go. One only could remain. The dem-
ocratic party was given the first op-
portunity to strengthen itself, so as to
be the one to survive. They failed ut-
terly, and now the republicans have
been chosen and will form one of the
two great parties of the country.
They may regain their power complete,
and then will come a realignment of
parties and a battle will be fought
which will deoide the polioy of this
country for a generation. The demo-
oratlc party, as it now stands, will not
be in this struggle. The fight will be
between the new party and the repub-
lican party.
"The new allignment may not oome
until after the eleotion of 1886,in which
event the republicans will elect the
president. Tt may come before. The
first thing that will happen will be
that the leaders of the dissatisfied
democrats (and that means nearly all
of them) will hold a conference among
themselves to decide upon what policy
shall be pursued and what principles
agreed on for the formation of a
new party. After agreeing among
themselves they will confer with the
dissatisfied republicans, who are free
silver republicans, and these two ele-
ments will come together for an agree-
ment. That being accomplished, they
will meet with the populists, and out
of this conference will oome a new par-
ty which is to do battle with the re-
publican party or party of gold mono-
netallists.
I should not be surprised if the sil-
ver democrats and the silver republi-
cans and silver populists should com-
bine for the organization of the senate.
Under ordinary circumstances, if the
question of the organization of the sen-
ate were merely one between the dem-
ocrats and the republicans as to which
should control, there being no princi-
ple involved, the popúlists who were
formerly republicans would naturally
aid In putting the republicans in pow-
er, but 1 have no idea that under ex-
isting circumstances any such thing
will occur. In my judgement, the pop-
ulists will not aid either the demo-
crats or republicans as a party. They
will either unite with men of all par-
ties on the one issue of silver and bo
organize the senate or else they will
stand alone in the maintenance of their
principles and allow the senate to hang
as It would between the two parties,
the present organization being main-
tained. I don't believe that either
Mr. Stewart or Mr. Jones or any other
populist will vote with the republicans
in organizing the senate."
THREE GIRLS TRAMP 100 MILES.
Three young girls, the eldest not
over 18 years of age, entered Olson's
great department store Monday noon
and made their way to the employ-
ment bureau. They looked careworn
and weary, and their dejected mien at
onoe attracted the kindly attention of
Miss Wilson, the lady in charge. On
inquiring their errand, Miss Wilson
was informed by the eldest oi the girls
that on the Thursday before she had
picked up a copy of the Times, in
whioh she saw an advertisement of the
employment bureau connected with S.
E. Olson's store.
She informed her two friends of
her disoovery, and they all resolved to
leave for Minneapolis that very night.
Having no money to pay their fare,
they bravely, tut not without misgiv-
ings, set out to walk to Minneapolis, a
distant of 100 miles. They reached
the oity, as above, on Monday at noon,
and within 20 minutes after applying
at Olson's were provided with suitable
places.—Minneapolis Times
