TAKIN' A STEP.
Written for the REPUBLICAN. I'm tauld ye're aboot takin A step wi' a gurrel That ye're aboot lavm
The bys, wi' a whurrel.
Auld by, gin the roomer be troo, I am naane whasagin it: But I'm ane wha'll cast an auld shoe, 1 Just for the luck that there is in it.
1 trust that the gurrel ye're a-geten, Will prove a joy and a treasure— And free o'the fumin an fretin,
That wad distract a inon's pleasure,
I trust that yer warm Irish heart, Will iver throb for its mate, And ye'll never gang skelpin apart—
Wi'yer troo love turned to hate.
And whin the lang yearshae ended, And yer auld bones a bit shaky— Ye'll forget, and na be oifended

ENGLISH NEWSPAPERS
Comment as Follows ou President Cleveland's Message to Congress. LONDON, Dec. 4.—The newspapers today contain editorial comments upon President Cleveland's message to congress. The Graphic says: "The crudities and indiscretions of PresinentCleveland's present pronouncement on foreign affairs might have been evolved by the late Mr. Blaine in his worst mood. Can anything be more absurd than the proposal that the Scliomburgk line (in Venezuela) should be subject to arbitration The reference to Cuba is infinitely more injudicious. It is virtually an expression of sympathy with filibustering."
The Times' editorial says: "President Cleveland has drawn a startling picture of the difficulties created by the vicious currency system, and we shall be greatly surprised if the plans he suggests are not warmly welcomed by business men throughout the states. But, flushed by electoral victories, it is probable enough that the Republicans will refuse to allow anything to be done in the direction indicated. Meanwhile the remainder of the message, especially the references to foreign relations, will give the impression that he is marking time. Nothing he says commits him to anew or aggressive foreign policy, whilst it will task the ingenuity of his opponents to make out that he has in any way compromised the dignity or been careless of the interests of his own country.'' j^:The Daily News, the Liberal organ, will say: "President Cleveland knows better than to tkeat the Monroe doctrine as if it were a rule of international law. It is neither dignified nor politic for the administration at Washington to take up the quarrels of South American communities which do not observe the usages of civilized nations. America will find some day that this sort of pat1 ronaire involves a corresponding responsibility and they will not like that at all."
The Post (Conservative) says: "As regards Samoa and Venezuela, the message appears to be framed on lines which Senator Chandler might approve. In regard to Cuba, there are similar signs of a disposition to conciliate the feelings of popular agitators. These things are incidents of every presidential campaign and ^President Cleveland never pretended to be superior to them."
FROZEN TO DEATH.
Two Persons Safl'er That Fate in St. Louis. Other Narrow Escapes. ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.—Two persons were frozen to death last night as a result of the unexpected cold wave that struck this city, and two others narrowly escaped a like fate. One of them, an unknown man, aged about 75 years, evidently a tramp, was found dead in a warehouse, where he had gone for shelter.
Moses Baeltz, aged 80, who occupied a slianty near the Wabash railroad tracks, was discovered in his miserable abode, frozen stiff.
Mrs. Kate Thompson and a little girl aged 6 were found nearly frozen £0 death in their home in East St. Lc... is. The police took them to the stalion, where they were resuscitated.
OHIO AT THE EXPO.
Buckeye Citizens Hold the Fort at Atlanta Today. ATLANTA, Dec. 4.—Today is Ohio day at the exposition and the Columbus board of trade, forming the advance guard of the visitors, arrived last evening. The First regiment, Ohio national guard, numbering 500, came by a special over the Southern railway about midnight. The party from Cincinnati, including the chamber of commerce, Hon. M. E. Ingalls and General Hickenlooper arrived at 9 o'clock.
Thursday is Cincinnati day and there will be a reception in honor of the Cincinnati party at the Capitol City club this evening.
Probably Walking Yet.
FOSTORIA, O., Dec. 4.—A bold attempt was made yesterday morning to beat the merchants of Rising Sun, and it came very near succeeding. A sleeklooking stranger purchased goods at Bates & Bigley's stores, giving checks 011 the First National bank of Toledo in payment, receiving $11.25 and $25 in change. He put on a mackintosh, leaving the other goods to be called for, and went to the train. The merchants discovered that the checks bore different signatures, and following him compelled him to disgorge. He was broke and walked out of town.
Heavy Failure in Baltimore. BALTIMORE, Dec. 4.—Stevenson, Alexander & Company, one of the oldest and most prominent boot and shoe jobbers, Baltimore, made an assignment for the benefit of creditors yesterday to Edward C. Eichelberger. The liabilities are supposed to be in the neighborhood of $150,000. There was 110 immediate pressure brought to bear by the creditors, who are, for the most part, boot and shoe dealers in New York. The failure was a great surpirse in business circles of this city.
