pillows rise and crowd
Across the foamy bars,
Through skies of gray that stretch away,
Her wild hair floating free,
She comes TO where her kingdom lies
BY either land or sea.
For her the dawn's pale buds of light
Are round her pathway thrown.
AS like a banner in the fight
The night is backward blown,
And dims afar the last lone star
As on her chariot goes.
While in the east the later Streaks
Grow rudy as rose.
And fades the old years WORKOUT scytht
As some half moons faint line,
And JanUary's heralds blithe
In icy armor shine,
While round her train the frozen rain,
That some misname the snow.
Has caught million sun-glints bright
From out the sunrise glow.
and SIaG her face as on she speeds
Toward the rising sun,
With light OF hope and noble deeds
OF faith and duty done,
And Ia her eyes the swift surprise
or all that round her waits,
Where morning, as she passes by,
Has opened wide the gates.

We arc glad to learn that the fnc-
ulty of Roanoke are receiving very en-
couraging reports from various parts
of Virginia and othor States, and
that u large increase in tho number
of students noxt session is confident
ly expected. 1t ought to be O mat
ter of qualification to the friends of
the College generally, and to the
people of Sulem especially, that Roa-
noke should be so prosperous in this
time of depression. While soveral
Virginia colleges decreased last year,
Roanoke had gain of twenty three
per cent in the enrolment. This
prosperity must be regarded as
strong proof that the college is rap
idly growing in public favor. We
hope that tho expectations of the
Faculty may be moro than realized
for the forty-third aession of the Col.
lege, which will begin September
18th.
The improvemts on the Main

Free Silver Means Tint Creditors Are to

Free Silver Means Tint Creditors Are to
Lose 90 Per Cent.
Is the proposition for "frce silver at
10 to /" expedient and honest?
Stripped Of verbinge, the proposition
is for this government to embark i'll tho
Immediate and unlimited coinage of sill
yer dollars, each dollar to contain ap-
proximatcly 90 cents worth of silver
bullion; to discard all provisions for
guaranteeing tho concurrent circulation
und parity of gold and silver, and to
compel by law tho acceptance of the
hew dollars i'll payment of all debts.
Tho object is to reduce the value CT
tho dollar about one half, and by fore
ing creditors to take this dollar for debts
to scale ull existing obligations. Tho
only exception will be whore the slirewd
creditor has stipulated for payment i'll
gold. Such creditor will DO paid i'll full,
but tho unsuspecting man or woman
who has merely trusted to tho honor of
tho nation is to be "dono up" just in
proportion us tho dollar is scaled.
The Populists arc solid for this
scheme. It's III their line of business.
They are opposed to Il dollar having any
intrinsic value, but if they must have II
dollar worth anything ut all tho loss it
is worth tho better it suits them. Very
few Republicans take any stock i'll tho
scheme, and the moro it is studied the
sooner it will be dropped by all think
ing men.
Tho agitators assume, because Kansas
people are i'll debt, that every Kansas
man ought to join i'll tho clainor for
such dollars. deny that it is tho duty
of any man, because ho lives in Kansas
and is i'll debt, to favor n scheme which
his conscience tells him is wrong.

done away with by grouping the
names of each partys candidates to
