AT THE DAWN o. DAY.

Tripping DER the dewy meadows.
At the dawn o day.
RivalIng the soaring lark,
With her joyous lay,
With her bonny golden hair
Floating on the wind,
Truant hair that spite OF all
VIII not be confined.
Casting with enhancing smiles
Sunshine DER the way,
Have you seen my darling come
AT the dawn y day?
Cheeks like peaches in their bloom,
Der them dlnples play,
Loving eyes of tender blue
Laughing all the day,
Little teeth OF milk-white pearl,
Lips OF coral red
SaucY, pOuting, smiling lips,
Where my thoughts have fed,
All, know her every iook.
Tell me, stranger, pray,
You must know her,
Bave you cen her
Tripping o'er the way?
An, thou cruel one and far,
Thou canst ne'er atone
For the mischief thou hast wrought
In this heart of stone.
Gone the chains of selfish pride,
That had bound 1t fast,
Gone the fear of womankind,
Yes, I'm caught at last,
All this mag C she has worked.
Since the Hateful day
When first my darling saw
Tripping Ger the way.
Many nights I've filed with signs,
Pain and doubt know,
PREPARATION thou must make
For that bootless woe.
For myself alone lived
Till thy form Isaw,
Now Pm bound in triple chains
And thy wish is law.
Yes, freely, frankly own
I'm powerlesS Ia thy sway,
Since you turned on me your eyes
AT that dawn o. day.
And yoI smile so coyly when
OF my love l tell,
Surely no relentless thoughts
In that breast can dwell2
You have bound me so my Will
Is absorbed in thine,
Therefore must the wish feel
Be thine own-divine.
So, my daring, have rriumphed,
Aud our neighbors DER the way
To our wedding I'll invite
At the dawn o. day.

LIES HARVEST TIME.

The dreamy summer days are done,
The chill of autumn fills the air;
The falling leaves come rustling down
In tinted garments rIca and rare.
Gods pencil on fair autumn's page
Has traced a thought that saddens me;
LIES harvest time. oh, soul OF mine,
What shall that harvest tell for theef
Shall golden sheaves OF ripened grain
Be garnered from lifes field for thee?
Or shall the autumn-tide OF life
Reap only chat and tares for thee?

THE RIDDLE.

Read me the riddle OF life.
The shifting, doubling chances;
Read me the reason why hers
Anything's value enhances.
Tell me the reason that men
Long for the light OF the noon
Until the fair night is past,
Then-why they sigh for the moon?
Why men win search for the why
That has been ne'er understood
Why men win grasp at the air.

MINCO MATTERS

MINCo. /. T., June 20.-[Special. l-Your

the stores Of this place to supply some big
farmer or ranchmen down or the Washita.
The town of MinCo has grown consider
able in the past six months. Mr. c. D.
Campbell. being rather the originator, is
fair and liberal with all who wish to come
and embark in business in this place. Mr.
Campbell has a large domain on which
the town of Minco is built. He has been
in this country for several years, and says
he believes there is no richer to be found
A stock company is putting up big
cotton mill here. There are some five
thousand acres of fine Gotten growing
tributary to this place and many fields of
corn that contain four hundred acres all
looking tiptop.
Minco has three big general stores do

lngs bank, went into court this morning
with certificates of deposit and cash
amounting to $SS,000 and asked permis-
sion to reopen his bank The motion 10
set aside the assignment and discharge the
assignee was argued during almost the
entire forenoon. Judge Guthrie, after
hearing the evidence and argument, de
cided that the bank was in condition to

good shape. and ordered the discharge of
the assignee. The affairs of the bank will
be turned over to the old company about
the first of next month. and at that time
the old depositors of the bank will be paid
in full. The officers of the company, Mr..
Knox and Mr. J. ID. Salmons, have been
hard at work ever since the as .ignment
was made, trying TO secure enough money
10 pay of the Indebtedness, and il will be
good news TO their depositors that they
have at last succeeded and that they will
De paid in full.

AN OHIO IDEA.

COLUMBUS, O., June 20-It is now said
that the apparent harmony between Sher-
man and Foraker in the Republican state
convention was brought about by an un-
derstanding between the leaders Of both
factions that should the Republicans elect
a majority of the mem hers of the Ohio
legislature this fall Sherman and Foraker
are both to be elected United States sena-
tors. This is 10 be accomplished by not
allowing Calvin ). Rrice to take the seat
TO which he WAS elected.
The plan is for the Ohio legislature to
declare that Mr.. Brice is not "A citizen of
Ohio, but that he is now, and was when
elected senator, a citizen of New York.
The legislature Will then request the
United States senate 20 have the mmlt-
tee on privileges ard elections investigate
Mr.. Brice's citizenship. The expectation
l. that the senate would fad that MIR
Brice is q citizen Of New York and that
his election was invalid. thus giving the
next Ohio legislature s1 opportunity to
elect two senators. OF course. the lower
house Of congress. with Its $50 Democratic
majority, might retaliate and throw out a
few Republicans There is no doubt that
some scheme is on foot IN Ohio. for the
Sherman men are in perfect good humor
in spite OF their defeat IL the convention
on Wednesday. OF course the Bepubli-
cans have got 70 carry the legislature be-
fore they can do any serious damage.

NEW YORK, June 20.-The national exc
cutive silver committee was in session
today at the Fifth Avenue hotel There
were present Gen. A. J. Warner, of Ohio,
chairman; Francis g. Newland, of Nevada
vice-chairman; L. NJ. Rumsey, of Mis-
souri,, and Lee Crandall, of Washington,
secretary, Senators Jones and Stewart, OF
Nevada, were at the hotel, and gave the
committee the benefit OF their advice. AS
a result of its deliberations, the committee
gave out this evening an address. The
address calls attention to the object lesson
now exhibited in the desperate struggle ot
great financial Institutions on both sides
of the Atlantic to increase their gold re-
serves to avoid bankruptcy, and to the fact
that an increase by one reduces the re-
serves of the others. The address con-
tinues:
"Why should such a condition of things
exist in a time Of profound peace and
abundant harvests? Why should all the
great banking institutions attribute the
stagnation and hard times to a scarcity OF
money, while they are eXerting all their
power to make money scarce by adhering
to the gold standard, when they admit
that there is not enough gold to maintain
the business and credit of the commercial
worldS For eighteen years the basis of
credit in the gold standard countries has
been growing narrower as the single STAN
dard has been extended and the production
OF gold fallen off, while the structure of
credit has been growing proportionately
larger and more insecure, until the rela-
tion of credit to actual money, as disclosed
in the Barings' failure, on the gold stan
dard in England, has alarmed the world
and started new scramble for gold that
threatens all business undertakings and
stalks as a menace to every legitimate en-
terprise-
debts and distributing our annual products
by a money standard that has been grow
ing dearer and dearer, until the units are
80 per cent larger than eighteen years ago,
when silver was clandestinely demonetiz-
ed The people are determined that this
injustice shall cease, and it will cease in
spite of the sophistry of the gold worship
ers or the cupidity of the credit-holding
classes The remedy is in the restoration
of bimetalism. Support the credit struct-
ure Of the banks and of the country by
both the metals under free and unlimited
coinage. IL the silver of the world and all
that can be produced cannot be restored to
its place as money to supplement gold,
bankruptcy and ruin are inevitable, unless
some other kind Of money can be devised
TO take the place of both.
Let the Ohio convention, representing
the gold trust, take warning that if silver
cannot be remonetized, gold will be do
monetized and paper substituted for both
gold and silver. The people will not be
destroyed for the want of money. The
gold trust, by rejecting one of the precious
metals, has taught us how both may be
rejected. The radicalism of the Republi-
can party of Ohio for contraction is in
danger of being met by radicalism for in
flation. The time for subterfuge and am
biguity of language is past. Platforms
intended to deceive tie voters are insult
ing to the intelligence of the American
people"

SILVER BULLION CERTIFICATES.

New YORK, June 20-The Post says:
"Silver bullion certificates supplied good
share of the markets business, the total
business of the two hours running up to
273,O00 ounces, with gain in price of q of
a cent per ounce It is worth while to call
attention to the very prevalent belief that
the advance of l9l cents in these certificates
since Wednesday was due solely to the
heavy East Indian demand on London.
There Is no doubt that such demand
exists. 1t is natural at this period of the
year, and London's exports of silver to
India at last reports were nearly el, 500. 600
less than those of the same period in 1890
But this gives not the slightest ground on
which to build assumptions of n small
supply of silver on the general market
For that there are 10 reliable statistics to
be had. Moreover, an abrupt and sudden
advance, such as that of the present week,
could not well have been occasioned hy
the condition of the foreign bullion
market, the facts concerning which have
long been familiar. AS matter of fact,
bullion houses with London connections
have been sellers of silver certificates this
week, while the buying has couE from
houses which operated with the congress
sional pool last year.

WASHINGTON, June 20-The bureau of
the American republics has received a copy
of the annual message of President Pelli-
GRIM, of the Argentine Republic. laid be
fore congress on the 9th OF May last The
president discusses the affairs of his coun-
try with great frankness. He states that
the country is at peace within itself and
with the rest of the world. The only ex-
ceptional measures he has been compelled
to adopt were those declaring the city of
Buenos Ayres in a state of siege and the
suppression of "A few newspapers that were
stirring up strife. Concessions OF national
lands, covering 80, 900 square miles, which
had been made 10 spectators for colonial

thinks this statement too high in some

able TO pay its way this year.
