Policeman.

Lady, every Joy would perish,
Pleasures all would wither fast,
II no heart could love or cherish
In this world of storm and blast;
Fen the stars that CLEAN above thee
Shine the brightest in the night;
SO would he who fondly loves thee
In the darkness be thy light.
Down beside the flowing river,
Where the dark green willow weeps,
Where the leafy branches CULVER,
There a gentle maiden sleeps;
Lady, he's no heartless stranger
Comes and fingers many hours
Lady, he's no heartless stranger
For he strews her grave with flow
ers.
Lady, heed thee not her warning,
Lay thy soft white hand in mine,
For l seek no fairer laurel
Than the constant love of thine;
When the silver moonlight brightens
Thou shalt slumber on my breast,
Tender words thy soul shall tighten,
Lull thy spirit into rest.

CHANDLER ON BIMETALL,SM.
The Senator Declares the United States
Opposed to Gold Standard.

The Senator Declares tho United States
Opposed to Gold Standard.
Washington, Nov. 3O.-The Post, in
cable letter from London, prints an adj
vance copy of an important article writ
ten by William L. Chandler, senator
from New Hampshire, for the December
issue of the National Review, the con-
servative monthly, in which he dis
cusses the late election from the repub-
lican standpoint. Els principal object
is to encourage European bimctallists
to continue their propaganda. The
article declares that the American peo-
pie desire an energetic foreign policy;
that they mean to annex Hawaii; that
they are deeply affected by the Turkish
atrocities; that they desire to see Ven
ezuela retain her rightful sole domin-
ion over the mouths of the Orinoco, and
that they want to aid in making Cuba
tree and independent. The senator con-
cludes as follows:
THAT the United States is opposed to the
single gold standard and Is in favor Of re-
tracing, In due course and with careful re-
gard to the national honor, the steps taken
in the characterization Of silver until both
coinage at. the ratio of fifteen and one-half
to one and made the standard money of
the world, and the measure OF the values
of the world is a proposition which would
receive the suffrages Of four-fifths Of our
voters. II this proposition alone. could be
fairly presented to them. even without
further debate.
ITO such convictions, entertained by a
vast majority Of American voters commit
ted to bimetallism, the friends Of such
monetary system may confidently appeal.
The question Is not one of four years. nor
yet Of a decade. 1t may take as long to
remonetze silver as it has taken to realize
the paraiyzing influence Of demonstration.
But the fact that 100000 out of the l3.000.-
600 American voters have given their bal
lots for the wild project of immediate free
silver coinage by the United States alone
shows that the question is one which must
be compromised and adjusted in some way.
1.-THE advocates of gold monometallism
are crying out that the silver question Is
dead. They hope, but do not really be-
lieve, that this is true. Never was it more
important for bimetallists to exert them
selves Mr.. Mckinley Is pledged by his
own words to cooperation with u.s.

Key West, Fla. Nov. 30.-Late fla
vana advices say the determination of
Facificos continues by Weyler's secret
orders. All commanders are ordered to
clear the country of all noncombatants.
This is done silently. Communication
with the country is difficult and it is hard
to obtain details: The massacres only
become known through the confessions
of officers and soldiers in some cases.
Col. Struch, it is said, openly boosted in
Havana of killing over 300 old men,
women and girls who surrendered in
Pinar del Rio province. Many have
also been killed in other provinces. 1t

in his cups, gave revolving details Of the
