SILVER OR GOLD.
BY A. @. w.

We were talking politics late one night
And arguing the question as to who was
right.
Silver or gold, that was the theme,
When at last 1 fell into a troubled drelm,
Then saw a mountain of silver bright
Loom up, as il were, before my sight,
AND Off in the distance a mighty crowd
ere listening to some one speaking loud.
L heard him mention Il cross of gold.
AND how the people had all been sold,
And If they would vote for the silver ring
They'd nave nothing to do but feast and
sing.
Then 1 thought that the mountain melted
away
And out of its place shot a golden ray
That lighted the fires in the idle mills.
When a cry went up that shook the hills.
"Close the minis and open the Mills
Wns the cry that sounded over the hills.
Pro ct our labor from foreign greed
And lie workmeD will then get all they
need.
Then l thought that another speaker pro
claimed
That the w~orkingman's wish would then be
attained
By electing Mckinley, then silver or gold
Would be like u tale that has often beer
told.

King Mene1ek,s Independenee.

The pope's influence has failed to Sc
cure the release of the italian prisoners
in Abyssinia. 1t is said that his shrewd
councillors disapproved an attempt so
little likely to succeed at a time when
his holiness cannot afford to risk the
papal prestige, but a generous pity owe
came their reasoned objections. AS if
to emphasize the refusal, Menelek has
set free "a officers and men Of his own
accord. They report that the Abyssinian
monarch is not such a barbarian as is
commonly supposed. He reads the lead
ing Italian journals through an inter
prefer. 1t is we'll for the prisoners that
he cannot understand them himself.
Menelek desires to make himself equal
to the European sovereigns, and this
fact represents progress, for all his pre-
decessors firmly believed themselves to
be already equal or superior. The Ital-
ian officers are frequently questioned
about the manners and customs of roy
atty in Europe. His queen actually
wears dresses from Paris and stockings,
shoes, etc.
Many French families are settled at
and near Entotto, where the negus has
a palace, and they supply these articles.
One would like to know what the pris-
oners mean exactly by many" 1t may
be credited, however, that Abyssinia is
about to undergo a change, with Rus
slams and Frenchmen to direct it, and
in that case the sooner Egypt gets com
mand of the upper waters of the Nile
the better for her safety. To occupy the
Sudan would be the first move of an
energetic negus who felt himself strong
enough to organize a grand attack upon
the hereditary foe. And if he got pos
session of the Sudan self interest would
tempt him to divert the Nile, putting
i'll will toward Egypt aside. London

But there is only n word on all this
subject of divine chirography in heaven
that confuses me, and that is the small
adverb which st. John adds when he
quotes the text in Revelation and speaks
Of some ''whose names are not written
in the book of life of the Lamb slain"
Oh, that awful adverb "not!' By full
submission to Christ the Lord have the
way all cleared between you and the
sublime registration of your name this
moment. Why not look up and see that
they are all ready to put your name
among the blissful immortals? There is
the mighty volume. It is wide open
There is the pen. 1t is from the wing of
the ''angel of the new covenant. There
is the ink. It is red ink from Calvarean
sacrifice. And there is the divine Scribe
the glorious Lord who wrote your IA
theirs name there, and your mothers
name there, and your child's name
there, and who is ready to write your
name there. Will you consent that he
do it? Before I say "Amen'' to this
service ask him to do it. I wait a mo-
ment for the tremendous action of your
will, for it is only an action of your
will. Here some one says, Lord Jesus,
with pen plucked from angelic wing and
dipped in the red ink of Golgotha, write
there either that which is now my
earthly name OF that which shall be my
heavenly name" I pause a second
longer, that all may consent. The pen
OF the divine Scribe is in the fingers
and is lifted and is lowered, and it
touches the shining page, and the word
is traced in trembling and bold and un-
mistakable letters. He has put it down
in the right place.

There seems to be either a regular
burglar scare about town, or else the
burglars are trying to get in their work
in good earnest. Last night five at
tempted breaks were reported. Joseph
Caplan, 43 Randall street, and Henry
Eichorn, 733 North Main street, say that
burglars tried to get into their premises,
but were frightened away Joseph CAT
fney, 36 Eden street, reports that about
12:45 this n. m. he discovered q man try
ing to get in his chamber window, and
upon his asking what be was doing there
the intruder ran away. George Jackson,
1901 Gladstone avenue, makes similar
complaint, the hour OF the attempted en-
trance being placed at 1880 p. m. yester-
day. Mrs. Charles Dunlap, 406 Pine
street, declares that shortly after mid
night she heard footsteps on the tin roof
OF the ell OF her house, and somebody
tried to open the blinds. She ran into
the street and investigated, but found no
one round. Later Sergeant Prout made a
thorough search, bat with no different
result.
