THE DREAM-SHIP.
When the world is fast asleep

When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies
As though it were wondering cloud
The ghosty mShlp flies.
An angel stands at the Dream.ship'a helm,
An angel stands at the prov,
And an angel stands at the Dream Ships siC
With :. rue wreath on her brow.
The other angels, sllver-crowned,
Pilot and helmsman are,
And the angel with the wreath of rue
Tosseth the dreams afar.
The dreams they fall on rich and poor,
They fall on young and old;
And some are dreams of poverty.
And some are dreams of gold.
And some are dreams that thrill with Joy,
And some that melt TO tears,
Some are dreams of the dawn of love,
And some of the old dead years.
ON rich ami poor alike they fail
Alike on young and Old,
Bringing 10 slumbering earth their joys
And sorrows manifold.
The friendlcss youth in them shall do
The deeds of mighty men,
And dropping age shall feel the grace
OF buoyant youth again.
The king shall be beggarman
The pauper be a king
IN that revenge or recompense
The Dream ship dreams ~ bring.
So ever downward float the dreams
That are for all and me,
And there lie never mortal man
Can solve that mystery.
But ever onward in its course
Along the haunted skies
AS though II were n cloud astray-
The gnostly Dream.Ship dies.
Two angels with their silver crowns
Pilot and helmsman are.
And an angel with u wreath of rue
Tosscth the dreams afar.

Bookwslser and John R. Mclean, Lex ID
ers OF the silver forces OF Democracy in
Ohio, now have matters nearly their
own way, Senator Brioe having sppar-
emily abandoned the fight. The admin
istration is still making some show Of
opposition to the free coinage wing. but
IL will amount to nothing, all the indi-
cations being that Ohio Democrats will
join the silver procession at Chicago
and lend their assistance to the nomi-
nation OF man for President who will
swear fealty to the platform.
Governor Bookwalter was lately in
terviewed by reporter of the Washing.
ton Star. and his views on the political
situation are decidedly interesting. He
has spent much time in Russia, China,
Japan, India and European countries,
and ia familiar with the politics of the
world. He regards the present curious
political situation in this country as not
due entirely to local causes, and says
the great politics Of the time is an inter-
nation and race struggle for numerical
and industrial supremacy.
In his opinion there Is danger Of Mr..
Cleveland forcing himself upon the
country again in spite Of the silver
triumphs in the Democratic party and
oil the prestige the Republicans have
obtained through Democratic failures.
He thinks Cleveland has the power, and
may have the inclination, to play upon
the war spirit of the nation to maintain
his supremacy in the case of Cuba and
Venezuels for example.
Governor Bookwalter says he Is op-
posed to the attempt to establish q sim
gle gold basis, as there is not and never
will be sufficient amount Of that metal
to carry on the rapidly developing bust.
ness Of the world. When the late
Brussels monetary conference broke up,
Baron Rothschild, one OF the great
financial authorities Of Europe, declared
that general commercial and financial
ruin would follow II the world were
thrown on gold basis.
Governor Brookwalter referred to the
latent energy Of the Orient 40 shown in
the case OF Japan, and said the capacity
OF the East for development and growth
on Western lines was we'll nigh ilimit.
able. The recent marvellous strides of
Russia to commanding position among
the nations Of the earth were referred
to. as we'll as her inroads on our gold
supply to increase her monetarv facilt
ties consequent upon the enlargement
of her domestic and foreign trade, and
the assertion WAS made that, gold were
the sole monetary basis OF the world, to
supply the Muscovite empire, China and
Japan alone with g sufficient amount to
make their per capita ten dollars OF that
metal would require seven billions of
dollars, or en- amount Of gold equal TO
all that the world has succeeded in &C.
cumulating in 5000 years.
These figures though startling are no
doubt true. and that the bsrbaric East
will adopt Western methods within the
next twenty-five years, is more than
probable. Then China might become an
immense military power before whose
resistless herdeB the civilization of
Europe would be swept away az COM
