The Song Never sing.

James Whitcomb Riley.
AS when in dreams we sometimes hear
A melody so faint and fine,
And unsteady sweet and clear,
Ii favors all the atmosphere
With harmony divine;
SO, often in my waking dreams,
Like fairy voices whispering
To me the song never sing.
Sometimes when brooding DER the year,
My lavish youth has thrown away,
When all the glowing past appears
But as a mirage that my tears
Have crumbled to decay.
/ thrill to find the ache and pair
OF my remorse is stilled again.
As, forward bent and listening,
hear the song l never sing.
A murmuring of Rhythmic words.
Adrift on tunes whose current flow
Melodious with the thrill of birds,
And far-off lowing of the herds
In lands of long ago;
And every sound the truant loves
Comes to me like the coo of dove.
When first I'm blooming fields of spring
heard the song l never sing.
The echoes of old voices, wound
In limpid streams of laughter where
The river Time runs bubble-croWned.
And giddy eddies ripple round
The lilies growing there;
Where roses, bending Ger the brink
Drain their own kisses as they drink.
And ivies climb and Irvine and cling
About the song l never Sing.
An ocean surge of sound thatsfalls
AS though tide of heavenly art
Had tempeSted the cleaning halls
And crested DER the golden walls
In showers upon my heart;
Thus thus, with open arms and ewes
Uplifted toward the alien skies.
Forgetting every earthly thing.
1 hear the song l never sing.

Trilby's dame. Why don't yer read,
Jimmy" writes the Newark Call.
well, den. who's Trilby2'
ION. youse fellows make me tired YOuse
don't know nawthin'. read de book up al
dc doctors. Trilby was a dame wot wuz
bro't up IN de fOurt ward in Paris. Her
old man WIZ a preacher. but got ter hittin'
de bottle too lively an her old lady slung
SIN In joint Dey. got stuck on each
other and got hitched up. but de booze
got de best OF dem an dey cr0aiSed in Paris
and left two kids. De girl wuz Trilby, but
De boy kid didn't cut no ice in de story
De girl was dandy an some painter bloke
got stuck on her shape and made a model
or her 10 drawer from. Den dey all got
a-paintin' her and maxim chalk images
OF her left foot er sOmethin'. and so she
met three English guys who wuz in. Paris
learnin paintin'. There WIZ big hlOke-
bigger,n COrbett, and a Scotch mug and a
niue dude. OF course, Trilby,s old man
bein' English. she fell right in wild dis
push, and soon she wuz meudin' DER socks

The MiIIedseviIIe Incident.

1t seems to us from what has been
published on the subject that there would
have been no sensational scene at he
at the Georgia State Normal and IndusS
trial School at Milledgeville last Tuesday
if the affair that brought it about had
been managed a little differently.
The facts appear to be as follows: A
student had been dismissed from the
school and her diploma denied her for
taking an unfair advantage in an exam
ination. and for refusing to promptly ad-
nit her fault when charged with it.
Through her brother she appealed from
the faculty to the board of trustees, ask
ing that her diploma be granted her.
Ii is admitted that the trustees are au-
thorzed to say who shall have diplomas.
They, and not the faculty, are authorized
to confer them. They acted within the
scope of their authority therefore when
they heard the students appeal and de-
clded to give her a diploma.
We cannot question the motive of the
trustees. rThey agree in saying that they
considered the punishment inflicted by
fed. The faculty thought otherwise, ana
may still think so. Still. it was matter
for the. Trustees to decide. They were
inclined TO mercy. and mercy is some
times more to be commended than sever
ity.
In view of the interest the case had ex-
cited, it should have been handled with
a,great deal of care. Two mistakes. we
think, were made-one by the trustees ana
the Other, by the president of the instf-
tuition. The first was made by the trus-
tees. Before the names of those to whom
diplomas had been awarded were read
the spokesman of the trustees should have
announced that the law makes it the duty
of the trustees TO confer diplomas, that
the case of the offending student had been
carefully inquired into and a decision
reached TO give her a diploma, stating the
reason FOR the decision.
The other mistake was made by the
president of the school, If he wanted to
! make a protest he should have made it
TO the trustees when they informed him of
their decision, and not before the school
and an audience of visitors, especially as
he must have known that the trustees
had not exceeded their power in giving
the offending student a diploma. The
public protest is what started the trou-
,ble, which could have been avoided by a
little forFthought.
The affair is, of course, regrettable, but
it'fs 'doifbtfnI II it will do the institution
any permanent injury.

They Don,t Mean VIVA, rhey sal


There fs-iiothing more certain than that
the men who engineered the free silver
coinage convention at Springfield. III.
on Wednesday. know that the resolutions
the convention adopted are misleading.
The word ''bimetansm'' is not mentioned
in the resolutions. That is rather sigria-
cant. in view - the fact that up 10 the
present time the silverites have found a
great deaI-of satisfaction apparently in
calling themselves bimetallists. In their
Springfield resolutions they say they are
''in favor Of the use Of both gold and
silver as the standard money OF the Unitei
States ana demand the free and unlimited
coinage frboth metals at the ratio 4
10 to l.. without waiting for the action Of
any other nation" In view of the fact
that the commercial ratio of the two
metals is now 81 to /. their insincerity IS
50 conspicuously apparent that it does
lot need TO be pointed out. If they were
really in favor Of the use Of both gold
and silver, as the standard money, tn "
would have declared themselves in favor
of a ratio that would have insured The
circulation Of both gold and silver money.
Instead Of doing that they demanded a
ratio that would drive gold out of clrcu.
lation and make silver the STANDARD
money. That they fully understood that
such would be the consequence of he
adoption of their views is shown by the
last part of the resolution from which
the above is quoted which is to the effect
that silver coins shall be made legal ten
der for all debts, public and private ana
that all contracts for the payment Of
money, whether in gold. silver or coin,
may be discharged in silver.
No better evidence is needed than this
that they know there would be no gold in
circulation, that the only coin in circula-
ton would be 5O-cent silver dollars and
that they propose that the people shall
accept the 5O-cent dollars, not for what
they are really worth. but at their face
value, for all debts and earnings. In other
words, they propose to take an amount of
silver that is now worth about 50 cents.
and which if the production of silver
should greatly increase. might not be
worth more than % cents, and make the
people of this country accept it for a dol
lar.
The people of the south can hardly
fail to Understand the condition Of affairs
that would result from this sort Of lie
based money. They had a good deal Of
experience with debased money during the
war and we hardly think they would like
to repeat that experience. " they are
wise they will put the stamp of their di:-
approval upon the fiat. debased money
