WHEN COMES THE NIGHT.

, When comes che night,
Shall we accuse the sun,
Because tho gloom Expresses most
The soul that glows with lustre lostf
And shall we shun
The memory of light?
When comes the ice,
Shall we condemn the rose.
That filed the field with royal bloom,
And scented hall and church and tomb
When winter throws
His ermine round US thrice?
When sorrows come
Upon us unaware,
Shall we reproach the joy that shed
A glory where tie feast was spread,
And in despair
Sit silent, sad and dumb?
When comes the grave,
Shall we the cradle curse,
The fatal day when daylight came,
Because the night Of dreaded name,
A second nurse,
Comes stealing down the nave?
When comes the word
That blast in pain or wrath
Our early love or virgin hope,
Our hearts may listen, though we grope
In unit path,
To songs our ears have heard!
Then brave the night,
Which cannot kill the sun,
And with undaunted courage greet
The angels cup, though life be sweet.
IT'S quickly done;
Come, drain the goblet quite!
And if breath
Shall cut your love in twain,
With robe Of tears enshroud the past,
And hurl defiance to the blast:
Beat down the pain,
Till beaten, thou, by Death!

pectors and spectators, the story came
to quiet little widow, Mrs. Reid Miller,
living in the town of Bedell. She was a
native of Vienna, but had been in Ameri-
ca for thirteen years, of which time five
months had been passed in New York
City, and the rest in Pueblo, Alamosa,
and other towns of the Silver State. Mrs
Miller had during much of this time sup
ported herself and her child, now boy
of six, chiefly by cooking and house
work. She had heard over and over
again toe marvellous stories Of quickly
acquired wealth in the mining camps of
the mountain region, and had been wait
ing for some time to hear Of another
strike that she might herself try her luck
along with the rest who always rush to
every new town where opportunities for
speculation offer. The story of the Holy
Moses came to her as did the signal to
the Oklahoma boomers. She was ready
to start instantly, regardless of her own
poverty or the future of the camp. With
sufficient bedding and camp kit for her
self and boy, and no more she got on
the sled of a freighter with whom she
was acquainted who was bound up the
valley with goods to the new EldoradO.
She was obliged to run in debt fo- her
transportation, but no prospector ever
took a grub stake with a lighter heart or
more confidence Of success than Mrs.
Miller in accepting this loan.
The outfit with Mrs. Miller reached
Creole on April LIST, 1891. Creole at
that time consisted of few houses
crowded into the deep and narrow gulch
between Campbell and Mammoth Noun
tains. There was no street in the town
simply a trail between the houses, wide
enough for a freight team to pass
through. The gulch was full Of snow and
ice; one could tell that stream was
there only by hearing the roar of the
water beneath deep covering of mixed
snow and ice.
Mrs. Miller looked over the camp just
once-it took her about half an hour
only to decide that she did not want to
remain there. 1t was too crowded. If
the camp was to grow it could grow in
but one direction-down stream. A few
hundred yards below the ruck of shanties,
the gulch suddenly expanded into
widening valley that would afford ample
building space for town. There were
indeed, two houses down there already.
Charles Born, prospector, had built
little log cabin there for headquarters,
and Lotus s. Hastings had opened
saloon. Mrs. Miller determined to 60
down there and see what she could do.
Luckily for her she met about this
time carpenter named Mahoney, whom
she had known when living in Bedell.
Mahoney asked her what she was going
to do, and she said she was going to
open a restaurant down below in some
way. Straightway Mahoney offered to
build her a house for the business.
"But have no money!" she said.
''That's all right. Pay me when you
get il. Thereupon it was agreed thata
log house, 26x40 feet, should be erected
among the willows, not far from Pros
pector Bosn's cabin, for the sum of $40,
to be paid whenever Mrs. Miller should
get it.
Mahoney began work the next day

We Need More Like Him.

The Atlanta Constitution has much
to say of Tom Watson'S course in re-
fusing to enter the democratic caucus
in determining the speakership con-
test. That he was nominated by a
democratic convention and elected by
democratic votes, and so was bound to
abide the decision of the caucus, what
ever that might be, Notwithstanding
that he was nominated and elected on
what is known as the st. Louis de-
mands, and that he was pledged to do
everything within his power to enact
these sentiments into law. This fer
yor of the Atlanta Constitution may be
all right from its standpoint; but it is a
little queer if Watson has brought in
fanny of such dark character and last
ing stain on himself as the Constitution
says, that he should be endorsed by
popular meetings held all over his dis
trlct, and that, too, in Georgia. The
fact is that one of the fatal defects of
the average congressman, Is his infatu-
alton with party caucus, and
his disposition to vote any
thing that is crowded OH him by said
caucus, from free hides on the one hand
to high-priced lumber on the other, even
If his constituents are engaged in rear
ing cattle and building wooden build
ings on the plains of Kansas or Ne
braska.
We apprehend that Tom Watson has
no desire to immediate his conscience on
the altar OF party caucus.

Argument for Government warehouse.

Argument for Government Warehouse.
New Nation: 1.-THE present block
ade caused by the overtaxing of the
railroads by the transportation of the
enormous grain crop of the west. is an
argument of much force for something
like the government warehouse system
for the storage of grain. which is one
aspect of the so-called sub-treasury
plan of the alliance. Moving the crop
is the annual occasion of great strain
upon the financial and transportation
resources of the country. This year 1t
IS simply worse than usual, threaten
ing as it does to grow worse and worse
for at least the first half of the winter.
This periodical disturbance of all the
other business interests of the country,
on account of the grain crop, would be
obviated by government warehouse
system, which by furnishing storage
near at hand for the farmers, and safe
advance upon the amount stored would
save them from the necessity they are
now under, from lack of storage and of
cash, of throwing their product all at
once upon the market, thereby not only
incOnveniencing the other business in
terests of the country in the ways de-
scribed, but also causing glut which
places the producer at the mercy of the
broker and middleman. The demand
Of the western farmers for a govern
ment warehouse system has basis of
sound reason.''

Grateful thanks are hereby rendered

here and to express their views as to
what was the proper conduct for rep

befuddle the masses as they once could.
Senator Wolcott is attorney for the
Pacific railroads. 1t is said he gets $50
900 per year. He has just been pat on
the interstate commerce committee.
This committee is the one which looks
after railrc ad traffic. To send their at
torney to the senate and have him put
on the committee they most dread is
one of the ways in which railroads
shape legislation to suit themselves.
The senate is crammed full of fac
tory owners, mine owners, Standard
oil magnates, railroad kings, national
bankers, etc. It is a millionaire con-
gress blocking the way to any possible
reform measure of the lower house.
Tammany is in full swing here. It
divides out the spoils and calls for more.
1t is reaching out SO as to control every
democratic state in the next election.
Our people have been told that Tam
many is democratic society. but in re-
atty they are ignorant of its real
nature. It was fashioned into a POI
litical machine by that ibertine and
traitor, Aaron Burr. His idea was to
gather into secret assembly body of
voters who would move together first
with one party then with another, now
support one man and now another, and
thus act as balance of power. As a
reward for their services fat offices in
abundance should be theirs Martin
Van Buren, found it the willing tool of
all his trickery. Boss Tweed rather
overdid the thing by stealing million
dollars year from the treasury of

Col. Robt. G. Ingersoll: THE rich
men meet in the bank, the clubhouse
or parlor; workingmen, when they COM
bine, gather in the street. All the Or
gained forces of society are against
them. Capital has the army and the
navy, the legislative, judicial and ex-
ecutive departments. When the rich
combine, it is for exchanging ideas.
When the poor combine, it is 'cOnspira-
cy.' II they act IN concert, if they
really do something, it is a mob Ii
they defend themselves it is treason.
In this country the political power is
equally divided among men. Why
should the rich control? There are GER
tainly more poor than are rich. Why
should the laborers not combine for the
purpose of controlling the executive,

Mr.. cRIsP'S ELECTION.

It Cannot Be Considered in Any Sense Q
Victory For Alliance Principles.
There was some surprise expressed
In certain quarters that alliance (?)
democrats participated in the speaker
ship caucus in disregard of the resolu-
ton OF the supreme council adopted at
indianapolis, demanding an opposite
course, though we confess we did not
share in the surprise. 1t has been our
belief land this recent experience con-
firms it) that man elected to any posi-
ton as a democrat or as a republican,
though he may be designated as an alli-
ance democrat or as an alliance repub-
hean, will be democrat or a repub-
ican, pure and simple, in his official acts.
We saw an example of this in the
South Dakota alliance republican legis-
lature in 1889. We saw another very
striking illustration of it IN the alliance
democratic legislature of Georgia in
1890. We saw another shiuing example
OF it in the election of speakeraof the
house in the present congress. While
the prefix, alliance, placed before the
true title of democrat or republican
may be very ornamental, its utility Is
without demonstration up to the present
date We might cite other instances of
failure in the line of duty of this class
Of alliancemen were it necessary to
consume space in doing so. The reader
will very readily recall them.
We regret to see that the National
Economist deems itself under oblipa-
tons to attempt to justify the disre-
gard of the Indianapolis resolution by
alliance ~ democrats in the contest for
speakership. 1t assumes a very COM
placent. self-satisfied attitude, and
glorifies both those who proved true to
their trust, and those who proved true
to faction of the democratic party.
Concerning the great triumph or
claimed In the election of Mr.. Crisp, the
Economist says:
There Is no Disgusting the fact that
the great fight of the people up to date
has been to obtain recognition of the
fact that the finance question is an
issue. The managers of both parties

The Topeka Capital, the morning af-
ter the appointment of Perkins, pub
lished the following. Joe Hunson, edI-
tor of the Capital, is one of the disap-
pointed:
The Hon. Bishop w. Perkins was

ator to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Senator Plumb. Mr.. Perkins
has been member OF congress eight
years, representing the Third district.
and brings to the great task of Plumb's
unfinished work extensive legislative
experience and acquaintance which
Will enable him to meet public expecta-
ton and bring to the onerous duties of
senator comprehensive knowledge of
congressional matters. The new sena-
tor is well acquainted with Kansas af-
fairs and will no doubt serve the peo-
pie well in the senate. The Capital has
no captious criticism to offer upon the
wisdom of the appointment. The peo
pie of Kansas will soon face the prob
lem of national campaign and the
best energies of all citizens who beIievG
in republican principles will be needed
to sustain the party. We do not be
lieve the appointment will give entire
satisfaction to the republican party Of
Kansas, and we should stultify an hon
est sentiment if we did not frankly say
so. At the same time it must be re
membered that any other selection from
among the half dozen candidates woulC
also fail to satisfy all republicans. Al
the end of year the Legislature, frest

upon this appointment just made. I'm
