BEN BOLT.
BY Thomas Dunn English.


Don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt,
Sweet Alice whose hair was so brown
Who wept with delight when you gaV'
her a smile,
And trembed with fear at youl
frown2
In the old church-yard in the valley
Ben Bolt
In a corner obscure and alone,
They have fitted a slab of the granite
so gray,
4 I
Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt,
Which stood at the foot of the hill,
Together we've laid in the noon day
shade
And listened to Appleton's mill.
Tho mill-wheel has fallen to pieces, Ben
Bolt,
The rafters have tumbled in;
And a quiet that crawls around the
walls, as you gaze
Has followed the olden din.
Do you mind the cabin of logs, Ben
Bolt,
At the edge of the pathless wood;
anu lle OullSTuul lTct Nilh Ito hANNASs
limbs,
Which right by the doorstep stood?
I he cabin to ruin has gone, Ben Bolt
The tree you would seek in vain;
And where once the lords of the for
ests have waved
Grow grass and the golden grain.
Ana don't you remember the school
Ben Bolt.
With the master so cruel and grim,
And the shady nook in the running
brook
Where the children used to swim?
Grass grows on the masters grave.
Ben Bolt,
The spring OF the brook Is dry;
And all of the boys who were school
mates then,
There are only you and 1.
There is change in the things I loved
Ben Bolt,
They have changed from the old to
the new.
But feel In the core of my spirit the
truth.
That there never was chassge In you
Twelve months twenty have passed
Ben Bolt,
Since first we were friends yet haiil
Thy presence a blessing. thy frlnedshir
a truth
Ben Bolt, Of the salt of the sea.

One of the most unfortunate, but
perfectly legitimate results OF the fight
now going on in Salem is the impres.
sion created abroad that the defeat OF
Senator Dolph signifies the supremacy
Of the free silver idea in Oregon. Lest
there be any doubt about this PROPOSE
tion, witness the following from the
Omaha Bee, which Is only a fair sam.
pie Of what is being said by the papers
of all parties in every portion of the
country;
Senator Dolph, Of Oregon, whose term
expires March 4, and who wants re.
election, has fight on hand, there be'
ing several candidates for the position.
The opposition to Mr.. Dolph is chiefly
en- the ground Of his hostility to tho
free and unlimited coinage of silver, in
which he has been outspoken and con
sistent. He Is a man Of ability, who
has done good service in the senate for
his state, and ne deserves to be con
tinued in the position.

With the fnnded price Of securities, with
farm lands. with town or city proper
~ or with the wages Of labor-lby far
the most important commodity of all
gold has perceptibIy deprecated and
shows a marked loss Of purchasing
powar." This conclusion II forced by a
great variety Of statistical details. The
argument from money volume and from
prices tells az strongly, II not more
strongly, against the theory of an ap-
precIation OF gold than for it. Any
one who candidly examines and sees
for himself how the record of rising
prices in one quarter and falling prices
in another traverse and nullify each
other as far as their asserted relation
to the price of gold is concerned, must
come to the conclusion of the Forum
writer: "The explanation Of the phe-
of fall in prices must be
sought among those complex economic
conditions which arise from the physi-
cal or social forces to which industry
and commerce are subject, wholly inde-
pendent Of their relations to existing
monetary conditions" Any other be-
lief is, from the scientific point If view,
as crude superstition as the faith
that people could be destroyed by the
wiles OF sorcerer, or the scrofula be
cured by touch Of a royal finger.

THE GIsT OF THE MONEY CUES
TIoN.
After man has wandered along in
tho wilderness Of the money question,
trying theories, sitting facts and asser-
tions. bewildered with the variety Of
phases that It can assume in the hands
Of a controversialist It is with as much
surprise as relief that he comes out
upon the level plain and sees how real
~ simple the central issue is. Almost
all the puzzles and ccnfuses is born Of
ignorance Of fact or the assumption. at
the beginning, Of some proposition
which is at variance with the fact,

per. Let man, for example, come to

Money Controversy: Has Gold RisenT'
with mind free from pre-possession,
and we believe that he would be
amazed at The simplicity Of the real
argument, and fixed thereafter in un-
shakeably rational Views OF the issue
that has so convulsed the country.
There Is absolutely nothing new in Mr..
carnetfs presentation Of the case,
The facts which he deals with have
been quoted and dwelt upon many
times. But he has SO applied and com.
bined them that the argument IS IRE.
sistible- All the harmonious laws
which point to the central truth Of the
money question are 80 clearly presented
in their relations to each other that the
paper warrants It's somewhat preten-
tious title.
The FIRST point attacked Is the rela.
ton Of money volume to prices The
writer shows the enormous increase OF
gold production in late years. the Gre
alton Of substitutes for money and the
increased effectiveness OF gold as me-
dunn Of exchange, arising from In
creased rapid transit facilities These
things should have caused the value OF
gold to depreciatc rather than appre-
ciate BY comparing the movement Of
merchandise during the ave years 1860
ei with the tlye years $4,000, and also
the product Of gold and silver during
the two periods. we set some startling
results. II appears that the efficiency
OF money as medium OF exchange
increased iso per cent IN the latter per-
iod over the former The total result Of
the comparison is this; IAN actual in

A Pleasant Trip That Cannot Be Excelled. 1t is usually the case when a traveller starts on a journey and especially for any distance, it is desirable to have the fewest changes, all the comforts of home life, and to be able to make the trip at as little expense as possible.
 aIn visiting Philadelphia, New York. Boston or any other important eastern cities it is believed that these comforts and pleasures can only be found by using the Plant system via Montgomery and Thomasville to Savannah, thence by the superb steamers of the Ocean Steamship company to any of the cities above named.
 The Plant system runs fast double daily passenger trains from Montgomery to Savannah carrying Pullman sleepers, free reclining chair cars and first class day coaches.
 Either one way or round trip eXcur- sion rates as shown in tariff sheets from any of the leading cities of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Louisiana to any of the eastern cities will apply over the Plant system, through Savannah, and one great advantage the traveller has by using the route via Savannah is that all first-class rates include meals and state room while on the steamer, thus avoiding the extra expense of sleeping car fare, which would have to be paid in addition to the ticket rate if other routes were selected
 The Savannah line is free from heat and dust and in selecting your summer trip 1t is well to keep these facts in mind, and if any further information is de- sired communicate with Plant system officials, and tell them what you want to know.
 The Montgomery office of the Plant system is bureau of information" and all questions are cheerfully and promptly answered.

The Chattanooga and Little Rock Teams
 Play by Electric Lights.
 Chattanooga, Tenn, July 3.-The eve of the anniversary of a nations national day was celebrated tonight in a quaint and very novel way. Chatanooga's baseball park was planted all around the diamond with cedar poles. from which swung two big arc lights. twenty in all, under the glare and in the shadows of these lights the Little Rock and Chat tanooga leagues teams are giving an ex- hibftion that wrung the hearts of the professional crank to behold, but fur nished rare fun to the large crowd of society people who witnessed 1t. The game closed 10 to in favor of Chatta- nooga. While 1t was in reality but a clownish exhibition, the locals might be fairly adjudged the biggest clowns. Certain it is that Captain Whistler did not know where his base was.
