He Stood on the Bridge at Midnight

A Standing suggestion = Took No
Risks-Budset of Fun.
E stood on the
bridge at mid
night,
While the clock
was striking
the hour,
And the moon rose
over the city
Behind the dark
church tower.

But he knew not the clocks were strik-
ing;
He saw not the palefaced moon;
For he feared that the restless sleeper
Would awaken a moment too soon.
He felt the bridge tremble beneath
him;
He heard the deafening roar
OF the pitiless torrent beneath it
The ebb and the flow of the snore.
Then, sudden as on Avernus,
The lightning skaters the oak
The sleeper's hand descended,
Night SCATTERING the bridge with the
stroke.
Now, down on the marsh a mosquito
Is wearing the ruddiest rose,
While a chap from the city is nursing
A sore On the bridge Of his nose.

troubles that they were mixed up in this country, the result being their black listing: I met any ntimber of them around the City of Mexico, and very few who had aHy prospect of getting employment as all the avaii- able places had been filled by just such fellows who had preceded them in the emigration to Mexico. An other thing which prevents niany of those gho 20 there from getting em- ployment, IS ignorance of the lang uage. South of tue City of Mexico and west, English is an unknown tongue, and all railroaders, as we'll as any one else who wishes to get em- ployment there or to go into business, must know either Spanish OF French.
 The English, French and Germans stand much better with the Mexicans than we do, and I think deservedly SO for they seem to appreciate the cus- toms of the people there and are able to adapt themselves to these customs; much more readily than Americans. The Americans from 8 distinct and isolated colony, while all the other nationalities from part and parcel of the nation. This is very noticeable even in the hotels, where you will find the Americans all getting together off in corner, where they will put in the time ''guylng" the rest of the world and discussing the morals of their neighbors. Of course there very fine people among the Americans residents, but at the same time there are many more not quite so fine. The fact that you are an American, is some times no special pride to you in Mexi- co.
 l think that there are many excel lent openings in that country for American enegry and brains. Els pecially does there seem to be great demand for American managers of large enterprises. Of course I mean for Americans who are willing to adapt them selves to the customs of the people, and who are able to see some good outside of their own country. There are many new enterprises being open ed up, and there Is infinite room for others. It seems to me that life in Mexico, in many respects, might be very much more preferable than life in the South. The climate Is certainly the finest in the world, and the need of energy and push and modern ideas could not be greater m any country in the world. This alone is sufficient to show he opportunities that exist, for, of course, wherever there is need of thing, there is room for somebody to supply that need. Then, as I felt before ever having gone to Mexico, people there live longer in fewer years, than we do in this country. They take things easy, but not so easy that things are at a stand still. They have many admirably qualities, and I think would altogether be desirable people to be among.
 Of one thing I am very sure, that I have never had trip in my life that gave me as much pleasure, and at the same time such interesting informa- tion.

The London Financial News says: The financial situation in the United States is very serious. The Senate has blocked all relief measures proposed by President Cleveland, and congress is at dead sssndstill on the money question. The free coinage senators are masters of Inc situation.
 ."This condition of sffAiss in the United sts,es Congress demands the immediate attention of British fnsnciers and states men The trade of the world is now in our hands, but 1t will not long remain there il the United States goes to . bi. metallic basis with free and unlimited coinage of silver.
 With the addition of silver to the volume of money everything in America would take new face; labor and indus. try would gain new life. The grip of the gold standard ou the products of the world would be loosened, and prices would rise. Great Britain would lose her markets in South America, Asia and Europe. and American chips would not be long in capturing trade of the world.
 British creditors must now apply themselves quickly to the American money problem. The sound money men and banking interests. led by senator Sherman, Cleveland and Carlisle, with plentiful supply of means, have been beaten. The American people are now thoroughly aroused and educated on the power and use of money, and made des. perate by debt and business depression they ars forcing free silver as the main issue"
