Last night a storm was on the sea,
The wreckage drifts ashore
Come walk along the beach with me,
And hear the breakers roar.
What soul their sorrow understands
What eye can trace their path2

And foam with fear or wrath.
The shore receives them, patient, dumb,
Nor trembles at their shocks,
But hits 10 meet them a. they come
It's great, insensate rocks.
They calm me with their awful strength,
SO small my life appears,
So less than nothing IN their length

On the Border-Land.

We have walked in company with
our brother, perchance for years,
through the wilderness Of this world,
over its arid plains Of toll, and
through ITS sweet valleys Of love and
pleasure and then we have begun
to climb the awfnl Andes which have
always loomed before us at our jour
ney's end, their SUBMITS against the
sky and beyond them--the Undis-
covered Land. Onward, little be-
fore us, as chance may decide, our
companion perhaps mounts the last
acclivity, and we see him slowly ap-
proach the mountains crown, while
our tagging steps yet linger on the
slopes below. Sometimes, ere he
reach the hilltop, he is enveloped in
cloud, and then we see him no more;
but again, sometimes, he remains in
the full sunlight, and, though dis
tant from Us, and beyond the reach
of our voice, it is yet possible for rs
to watch his attitudes and motions.
Now we see him nearing the summit.
A few steps more, and then must
break on his vision whatever there
may be OF the Unknown World be-
yond-a >howling wilderness, or a
great Pacific Of JOY. Does our fore
runner on the hilltop show by his
looks and actions-since he is too far
off to speak to ns-that he beholds
from his peak in Darien," an Ocean
vet hidden from our view ? Does he
seem-as that view bursts upon him,
whatsoever it may be-does he seem
to be inspired with hope, or cast
down with fear7 Do his arms drop
In consGernation, or does he lift them
aloft with one glad gesture of rapture,
ero he descend the further slope, and
ia lost to our sight forever 7-Frances

Rapid Growth Of European cities.

DIR. Albert Shaw, In timely article
on sThe Municipal Framework OF
German Cities" written for the June
number Of the Century, says that there
seems to be an almost uncoDquerable
delusion in the popular mind that our
American cities are the only ones
which show the phenomena of rapid
growth, and that their newness ex-
cuses their failure to provide well Tor
the common necessities of urban life.
To combat this idea, DR.. Shaw quotes
an array Of statistics that Is startling.
In 1870 Now York had nearly 100000
people, while Berlin bad barely 8OO,-
600. In 1880 Berlin had ouigrown
New York, and in 1890 II still main
tanned the lead, having 1,578,794 peo-
pie, as against New York's 1,6lb5Ol.
This is as fast growth as Chicago's
and twice as fast as Philadolphia's.
In the past fifteen years Hamburg has
grown three times as fast as Boston
aud twice as fast as Baltimore. Leipsic
has outstripped San Francisco in iif-
teen years, aud has grown much moro
rapidly than ST. Louis. Munich and
Breslan have distanced Cincinnati aud
Cologne has put Cleveland, Buffalo
and Pitisburg in the shade, while Mag
deburg, starting with a far smaller
population than Detroit and Milwau-
kee in 1880, has now almost reached
their size. The Same story can be
told of a score of smaller German cit
les, whose names are hardly known TO
the average American, and which
have yet increased far more rapidly ia
sizo than our booming American cit
les, proudly pointed to as instances OF
marvellous growth, such as Minncapo-
lis, st. Paul, Omaha, and Rochester.

A Wall Street View.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-Under the above
headline the Topeka State Journal for
November IL prints extracts from Henry
Clews' weekly circular. Among other
things the circular says, in commenting
on the great political change, 1.-THE
Party Revolutions" "To give effect to an
event of such magnitude some orgsni-
zstion and cooperation is needed, and
the more influential operators have
therefore deferred action until combi-
nations can bs organized"
The above language refers to the an
ticipsted immediate effect OF the
late election on the business Of the
country, land right here it might be
well to say psrenthsticRlly, that the "Co-
operation seems about to DO forthcom-
ing in the dstsrpinStiOn to issue an
other the so million dollars in bonds,
which would materially aid in the "com-
bination" to be "orgsnized.w
The circular continues: "The vote
also expresses the beginning OF de-
cline in popular sympathy with the va
carries and unsettling projects OF Popu-
lism, which has direct bearing upon
an important class Of investments and
bespeaks soundsr basis Of financial
honor in sections which have been ex-
posed to serious distrust. To the same
extent it suggests hope Of the early
elimination Of this psrvsrting and cor
rupting element from congressional leg
ialRtion."
Mr.. Clews is evidently Of an extremely
imaginative turn Of mind il he can see
in the late election "decline in popu-
lar sympathy with Populism," when the
result shows the most surprising gains
IN the number Of votes cast b. the Peo-
pls's party in the United States. He
should rub up his specs" and read more
carefully, and il he does, he will find
that the principles Of Populism are
eternally right. This being the case,
they will not down until justice is done.
Mr.. Clews continues: "The election
also means the removal of the tariff
question beyond the reach Of further
agitation, for while it may be taken Cor
granted that congress- can do nothing
more in respect to the sugar duties and
certain raw materials, it seems
