Eugene Field in the Chicago Herald.
Two dreams came down to earth one night
From the realm of mist and dew;
one was a dream of the Old, old days,
And one was dream Of the new.
One was a dream of a shady lane
That led to the picllerel pond
Where the willows and rushes bowed
themselves
To the brown old hills beyond
And the people that peopled the old-time
dream
Were pleasant and fair to see,
And the dreamer he walked with them
As often of old walked he.
Oh. cool was the wind in the shady lane
That tangled his curly hair!
oh, sweet was the music that robins made
To the springtime everywherei
Was it the dew the dreams had brought
From yonder midnight skies,
Or was il tears from the dear. dead years
That lay in the dreamer's eyes?
The other dream ran fast and free.
As the moon benignly shed
Her golden grace on the smiling face
In the little trundle-bed.
For twas a dream of times to come
OF the glorious noon Of day
OF the summer that follows the careless
When the child is done with play.
And twas a dream of the busy world
Where Valorous deeds are done;
OF battles fought In the cause of right,
And of victories nobly won.
II breathed no breath CT the dear old homo
And the quiet joys of youth;
1t gave no glimpse of the good old friends
Or the Old-time faith and truth
But twas dream of youthful hopes.
And fast and free ii ram
And it told to a little sleeping child
OF boy become a mani
These were the dreams that came one
night
To earth from yonder sky;
These were the dreams two dreamers

My little boy and l.
And in our hearts my boy and
Were glad that it was so;
He loved to dream Of days to come
And l of long ago.
So from our dreams my boy and
Unwillingly awoke
But neither of his precious dream
Unto the other spoke.
Yet of the love we bore those dreams
Gave each his tender sign;
For there was triumph in his eyes
And there were tears in mlnei

blacks I'm the Cuban War.

The negro appears 10 be playing an i'm
portant part in the Cuban insurrection.
Indeen, a Cuban correspondent only a
short while ago said the contest appeared
more Ike a race war than anything else.
so few were the whites in the ranks Of the
insurgent forces. Since that time, how
ever, according to the reports. many
whites in the ranks Of the insurgent
forces. Since that time, however. accord
ing to the reports. many whites including
number of wealthy planters and their
sons. have Joined the insurgents The
fact remains, nevertheless, that very
large proportion Of the insurgcnt strength
is made up of negroes. and that many Of
the commanders are negroes or mullttoe $,
1t is asserted that the Maceo brothers,
one of whom is the commandcr-in-chief
of the revolutionary movemen. are mu-
lattoes.
It is admitted that the blacks AMI mu-
lattoes were the first in the field. At first
it was difficult to get white recruits to
the cause. because the uprising was COM
posed so largely of blacks. Several prom
inent Cuban autonomists who went from
Guantanamo to join the insurgents re-
turned disgusted and dishcartened when
they saw the complexion of the rank and
file of the insurgent bands.
The fact is not to be lost sight of that
the movement has the support of white
Cubans in Cuba and in this and other
countries, and that white recruits are go
ing to the insurgents every day. The
question to be considered, however, is
this In the event of the success of the
Cubans, what part in the new government
formed would the blacks take? Would
they demand that Maceo be made the first
president. and that they be given posi-
lions of honor and emoluments in
accordance with the importance Of
their services in beginning the war,
supplying leaders and men ana
of New York paper expresses the opinion
that in the event of the Cuban success
the Cuban republic would become a sec
ond Haitian republic and that race wars
and much bloodshed would follow The
proportion of whites to blacks in the pop
ulation of Cuba is two to one, or maybe
! larger than that. The whites would, there
fore. have it in their power to prevent
any such thing as black domination They
could, and probably would. organize a
governpent to suit themselves. granting
minority representation in it to the blacks.

business Conditions in the south.

/ business Conditions in the south.
/ Speaking OF the south. the New York
I World says. The revival at the south
I began with the election OF democratic
F President and the assurance that their
right Of local self-government would be
respected. Although hard times have
{ been felt in the south as elsewhere. losses
there have not been heavy The hard
times gave southern industry a check
rather than a reverse. With the revival
that is upon us southern business men
are likely TO be more prosperous than
they have ever been in the history Of the
country"
II is quite true that the losses In the
south during the hard times were not
heavy. The business depression was felt
severely, and all kinds Of enterprises were
checked. It is worthy Of notice. however,
that from all the interior towns the re-
ports received are Of very hopeful char
acter. Even in the villages there is a
great deal Of building. and the farmers,
although they haven't much money. are
practically out Of debt and have enough
provisions on hand 10 make them feel
comfortable.
In the larger towns and cities there are
preparations for better times. Manufac-
turing and other enterprises are talked Of
or are being established. New life is ap-
parent in the mining districts and every
where business appears TO be on the up
grade.
We have DO doubt that within five years
it will be easy to demonstrate that the
south is the most prosperous section OF
the country. Her people are ambitious,
and anxious TO show that she has more
and greater advantages than are TO be
found in the east or in the west. II her
cotton planters and cotton dealers would
let cotton futures alone there would soon
be money enough in the south TO build
all the factories she needs and to put
into operation all the methods necessary
to develop her vast and varied resources.
Ever since the civil war. however. too
many of her people have been anxious to
get rich quickly, and, thinking they knew
all about cotton. have annually turned
over their surplus to New York cotton
spectators. If they would only be con-
tent with small earnings it would not be
long before they would be independent Of
northern capital. Still. even if they do
not reform in this respect the south is
bound to develop within the next decade
more rapidly than in any previous one.

The Poorest Bales the world.

The May edition of the consular re-
ports issued by the state department is
devoted to the matter of the baling OF
cotton in the United States and foreign
countries. From these reports it ap-
pears that American cotton is the poor
est baled of all; and, what should prove
highly interesting to the people of this
state, the consul at Bremen, Germany.
says the very worst baled of all the
American cotton that arrives at that port
is packed in the states of Georgia. the
Carolinas and Virginia. The packing and
the wrappings of bales from these states.
he says, are Of the very poorest quality
There is no uniformity in the size of the
bales or of the number of bands put on.
and the bagging IS of inferior quality
He gives the Gulf states the credit Of
shipping the best bales that go from the
American continent. The Louisiana and
Texas bales are reasonably uniform in
size and weight, and are wrapped in a
very good quality of bagging.
The Gulf states have come to be re-
garded in the light of competitors with
all OF lne OtHeT cotton producing states.
The Texans, it is said, can get a profit
out of cotton when it is selling at so
low a price that the planters of other
states find the proceeds of crop to be
less than the cost of production. If what
the consul at Bremen says with regard to
the superior baling of Gulf states cotton
is true, and it probably is, it will not be
long before Louisiana and Texas cot
ton will be commanding a better price
than Georgia cotton, if it really does
not enjoy that advantage at present The
probabilities are that Louisiana and Tex
as cotton is now graded comparatively
! higher than Georgia cotton in Bremen,
for the reason that the former is better
covered and packed.
If Georgia farmers mean to continue
in the business of raising cotton they
cannot afford to longer figure in the rec,
ords as the packers of the poorest bales
in the world. The standard of packing
and covering should be raised, and the
time to prepare for the reform is now, in
! anticipation of the next crop.

Question of Citizenship.
From the New York Evening Post Ono

Judge Golf. in his decision in the South
Carolina registration law case, adds an
other opinion on that disputed question.
Has a son of an unna turaliZed foreigner
born III this country, a right to vote with
ont naturalization? In the discussion of
this subject in the Evening Post last sum
men 1t was shown that, while the United
states supreme court. in the slaughter
house decision Incidentally ruled that
citizens or subjects of foreign states born
within the United States" are excluded
from the definition of citizens given in the
fourteenth amendment, the same court, in
later decision, refused to accept this mat
ter as settled, and that Justice Field, in
deciding that the son of an unnaturalized
Chinaman, born in California, was a citi-
zen, said OF the subject of the disputed
clause of the amendment 1T was de-
signed to eNceOt from citizenship persons
who, though born or naturalzed in the
United states, have renowned their al
legiance to our government Corpora
ton Counsel Clark. in an opinion given
Last November. held that such a person
as described did not require naturalization
to vote in this state Judge Con-, observ-
ing that the main purpose of the amend
ment was to establish the citizenship OF
the negro, there can be no doubt adds
The phrase subject TO its Jurisdiction
was intended to exclude from its opera
ton children of ministers, consuls, and
citizens or subjects of foreign states born
within the United States" This matter

1t is pretty hard to tell what Gov Evans.
of South Carolina, means by his manifesto.
published in our dispatches yesterday. He
talks like a man who wants to fight. at
the same time he says he doesn't He ac-
cuses Senator Butler of having influenced
the court, and says hard things about
him for doing so; still. it would almost
seem to be Gov. Evans purpose to intim-
idate the federal supreme court with COW
ert threats of what may happen in South
Carolina if the decisions by Judges Goff
and Simonton are not reversed. After all.
possibly the most important thing about
the manifesto is that it reveals how good
a pupil of Tillman Mr.. Evans has been.
The paper reads as if Tillman himself had
written it. The style and sentiments are
his, beyond doubt
