CASTLES IN THE AIR

ny MAY SPENCER.
Oft In the summer twilight.
When earth was calm and still
And softly came the lowing
OF cattle on the hill.
I've sat and built me mansions,
or precious jewels rare,
OF diamonds and Of rtlbles,
Built castles In the air.
They were so grand and stately,
And reared ON tlow'ry hight,
Where never darkness brOOded,
To dim the radiant light,
That streamed from carven ferret
And brightly glittered where
They stood In perfect beauty,
My castles in the air.
Mid gardens green and glowing
With sunlight over head;
With tender passion flowers
And roses deeply red,
And fountains sprinkling crystal,
In dazzling, myriad glare,
To add unto their lustre,
My castle In the air.
Love dwclt within the portals;
Love shOne from jeweled towers;
Love looked from out the lattice;
And hid within the flowers.
Love lit them all with glory,
And made them wOndrous fair;
As rapidly built them,
My castles in the air.
And now that life Is older,
And they have passed away,
Engulfed In sterner teachings,
The duties Of today;
| sometimes look back, longing
To see them as they were,
But only memory brings them;
My castles in the air
All, what is life but dreamingP
Erecting as we glance,
Adown the untired future
Fair mansions of romance.
Aud cen when they have faded,
ThrO msts of grief and care,
Still, still we keep on building,
Our caltles in the air.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Butte
MINER, is entitled to great credit for the
nerve it displayed in driving the tea fakirs
out OF town. The sure thing crowd had
been having their WI way 80 long, that
they made a stubborn resistance, but the
prosecution was SO fierce that they had to
flee. But the battle did not end with their
fight, as was shown by the Dillon dispatch
to the Independent yesterday morning.
They were brought up with a short turn
there, being taken from the train by the
officers, on wire orders from Butte to de-
tain them. The MINER will receive the
of the Territory if it will make
them meet the issues to the limit of the
law. Such enterprises are swindles of the
worst type. They defraud the people and
the business men of a community alike.
Their methods are %sinuous, their goods
spurious, and they take out of a city all
take in as the result of their taking.

The MINER thanks it's contemporary for
the gracious notice OF the recent troubles,
but with it's thanks mingles it's regrets that

ISOLATION to be derived from the fact that

Few Americans are aware that the pub
lie expenses OF al election, which in this
country are as a matter of course paid out
OF the public treasury, have to be borne in
Great Britain and Ireland by the candi.
dates themselves or their party. In case
there is no contestthe expenses are light,
as the election is decided by a show OF
hands or similar method. But when there
ia q contest the expenses OF all kinds are
very heavy. This is one OF the aristocratic
devices to prevent political power from
getting into the hands of the people. Only
rich men, or those Who can get rich mems
favor, can afford to be candidates. The
Parnell fund, to which Americans have
been so literally contributing, is to be
used partly in meeting these election ex-
penses for Home Rule candidates, and
partly in supporting those elected to
Parliament, inasmuch as members Of
Parliament receive no salary.

If Jay Gould has really retired from
Wall street, as he testified before a Con-
gressional committee lately, there are very
few prominent operators left whose names
are familiar to the general puplic. Uncle
Daniel Drew and Commodore Vanderbilt
long since disappeared from the stage. The
younger Vanderbilt also is gone, and his
wealth can n % longer be used to sustain a
falling market. The California speculator,
Jim Keene, who went from San Francisco
to New York in a palace car, failed after a
brief career. Russell Sage has given up his
puts and calls. Werishoffer died lately.
Who is left? The game Of speculation goes
on, though with less animation, but hardly
with familiar players. Let US take care,
though, lest Jay Gould be fooling the
lambs. He has done so before.

Nh. JOHN JAY, the distinguished diplo-
matist, has written a very diplomatic
letter to Mr.. C. C. Shane, as Chairman OF
the Committee OF Fifty OF Trades and Pro-
LESSONS of the Irish Parliamentary Fund
in response to a request for a subscription.
The burden OF this letter is that because
distinguished Englishmen made the mis-
take of supporting the Shareholders Con-
federacy during our civil war and Ameri-
a did not like it, therefore Americans
ought not to NEEDLE in any question of
English politics lest Englishmen should be
displeased. This letter serves to show how
narrowing are the influences of diplomatic
training. Mr.. Jay feels himself an envoy
yet, and perhaps thinks a word OF encour-
agement to Parnell-not to talk of
a dollar-would in some way "com-
init" the Government. He is not
the only case of such a survival
OF mental habit after funtion has de-
parted; men whose legs are amputated
often in fancy feel pains in their toes. The
question for Americans in the matter il:

trodden people, struggling continually after

An able and industrious statician who
has been delving into the subject of
National chances makes the following de-
auctions from recent official reports: The
receipts from customs in 1856 were
1892 ,741 1922, and in 1856 $14S, OIL
1856, showing an increase for the decade of
$44, 675, 1897, or 30 per cent. But the rise
in gold, and the consequent depression in
general valuations, has added far more to
the absolute cost of this charge to produc-
ton than this 80 per cent. increase in it's
normal cost. That is to say, the produce
which gold measures to-day is required to
be sold or delivered in so much greater
quantities that the charge upon produc-
ton has been augmented in a greater
ratio. For instance, in 1S76-77 the ex-
IRENE range IN wheat was &c to so per
cent. higher than in 1886. Assuming IS
per cent. as the mean difference, it would
have required about ITO, 1000. 900 bushels
OF No. 2 red winter wheat to pay
the customs dues in 1S75-76; but
in 1886 it would require about 17O,-
100000 bushels. In 1856 it
would have required about $50, 900 bales
of middling upland cotton, at $50 pounds
net to the bale, to pay the custom dues;
but in 1886 it would require 3,7O1, 900
bales of the same grade and weight to pay
the same amount. This difference of co.
OOO,O bushels of wheat or 1854, 900
bales OF cotton represent an increased cost
to farm production Of 81 per cent. in cot.
ton or 81 per cent. in wheat. He shows
further that a wheat farmer who owed
500 in 1876 would now owe $154 on the
same debt, while a cotton planter owing |
500 in 1876 would now owe $157, taking
the production value OF his crop as the |
measure OF his debt. While the shrinkage !
in the value Of the products Of labor has
been going or the purchasing power Of gold, |
government bonds, and all fixed interest.
bearing securities has steadily increased.
In 1876 4 per ceuts could not have been
sold except at a heavy discount from their
value; now they are worth 1877. The
only remedy for this state of affairs is to
be found in the restoration of silver to its
proper place in the money Of the world.
