Little Children Calling Me.

Torquil Macleod, in Boston Transcript.
Oft on some gracious autumn day
Ere winds are loosed and storms set free
l hear, as if from far away,
The little children calling me.
They call, as though in happy mood.
From distant chambers, ghostly still;
From out the shadowy golden wood;
From out the sunshine on the hill.
The homely sounds that bless the day
The crickets cry, the wild birds trill-
Cease, and I hear from far away
The little children calling me.
Friends of to-day, we would not know,
Should these young voices meet your ear
That name as mine; yet long ago,
l answered to it many year,
It's calling something pleasant meant:
Treasure of flower or fruit for me,
Or rified store of bird or bee,
Or wondrous things to do or see.
And from my books and dreams / went
The Garden of Hesperides
Forgot among the orchard trees;
And Jason's quest resigned, to seek
Adventures on the flooded creek.
Hank! nearer, clearer than before,
1 hear them caH-again, again.
Let me but reach the open door;
They must be gathering in the lane
What, silent now? and nought in sight
Save the long day-half shade. half light
God, might L for one moment see
The little children calling me.
Playmates of old, companions still
When comes the hour that comes to an,
My failing heart with courage fill,
And let no sterner herald call
The dolorous way will be less drear
If through 1T float your voices clear
If DER the rushing floods 1 hear
The little children calling me-

Douglas and the LandIady.

To-day Knox College is celebrating with
flags and crowds and oratory the thirty
eighth anniversary of the joint debate be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas, says the
Chicago Tin1es-Herald. Stimulated by
the preparations for this festival, Judge
*, friend and follower of Douglas, was
moved to tell the following story about
him:
Il shall never forget sitting up all night
at that cottage in the grove where Douglas
lived, and near the site of which now rises
his monument. He had just returned
from his foreign tour, and for hours he
told of his adventures One story of a
London landlady amused him especially.
Her hote! had been recommended to him
for comfort and quiet, so he went there,
travel-stained and unattended. ordering
his baggage to follow. The landlady, a
barrel-shaped and rigid-minded English
woman, took his measure, and showed him
rather meager rooms. Have you any
thing better, madam? he asked. The next
were but little better, and the next. At
last Douglas demanded the best she had
and the woman confessed to certain rooms
on the first floor, which were usually occu-
pied by members of the nobility. Reluct-
antly she led her questionable guest to a
cheerful suite overlooking parks and gar
dens and there Douglas installed himself,
and sat down to write and smoke.
Soon lackey, observing him from the
hail. entered to tell him that smoking was
not permitted in those apartments. The
senator, detecting impertinence in the
mans manner, smoked on. Another
came, and still he smoked. Then a man
in a tall coat and white gloves entered and
was very peremptory. Douglas looked at
him and puffed away. Then the stout lit
tie landlady appeared with all her feath-
ers flying and began to lay down the law.
This time Douglas rose and faced the
intruder Summoning all the grandeur
of manner which had captured audiences
and quelled conventions, he bowed pro-
foundry and said with resonant voice and
solemn pause: Madame, perhaps you do
not know who I am?'
"The lady confessed her ignorance.
Madame. said Douglas-and no one
could do it better-I am an American SOW
ereign.'
THE round little lady courtesied and
backed out of the room. And when Sir
Robert Peel called the next day, and car
riages of lords and notables blocked the
way, she decided that she was harboring
a sovereign, indeed, and there were not
lackeys enough under her roof to do him
honor"

Honrded GOLD.

The boarding of gold went on at live
ly rate In New York just before the cleo
ton. 1t is estimated that fully 500 900, 600
is held by Wall street outside of the
banks. For more than two weeks prior
TO Nov. there was a steady withdrawal
of gold from the sub-treasury in New
York. This gold did not go into the
vaults OF the banks. 1t was put into
private boxes and was locked up in the
vaults of safety deposit companies.
Since Augusta there has been brought
to this country from Europe SIS, 100000 in
gold. The banks got about $15oOO,OOO of
1t and the balance found its way into the
possession of private parties.
Those who boarded this gold had two
objects In view. One was to protect
themselves against possible loss and the
other was to make money. They argued
that IL the free silver coinage should
prevail in the election the value of all
kinds OF money, except gold would de-
cline greatly. Having their wealth in
gold the decline would do them no harm.
But If the value of silver and paper
money bnOulu QtCllAG EuAQ MOhll De at Il
premium, and they could sell it at con-
siderable profit.
They took the risk of course of losing
something II the gold standard should be
maintained The gold cost them a small
premium, and the expense of storage is
something. stilL they could afford to
take some risk in order to save their
money.
The election having been in favor of the
gold standard this boarded gold will soon
20 to the banks or the federal treasury.
Most of it perhaps will go to the treasury.
as the banks appear to have about all
they want at present. With a gold re-
serve of $500, 10000 and no further pros
pect Of silver agitation there would be no
lack Of confidence in our financial affairs,
and there would be plenty of money seek
ing investment. Business and industrial
enterprises would feel the effect Of this
condition Of affairs, and there would be
more life in nearly all kinds of business
than there has been for a long time.

The UDhunG Jury.

In the attorneys room in the supreme
court in Auburn, after court or in it's in
termissicns, they sometimes blaze away,
says the Lewistown Journal.
Il remember the time" said one OF the
attorneys, .in the days when Col. Little
field was sheriff. that Judge Walton was
presiding, and the jury were out on rum
case.
"They had been out long time, and
Judge Walton was rather nervous and
wanted a verdict. To his clear and far
seeing mind, the most remarkable, in
many ways that ever held jurisdiction in
New England there was no excuse for
any prolonged consideration of the case
by any jury.
Leaning back, seemingly lost in thought,
he suddenly sat bolt upright and beckon-
ed to Col Littlefeld, and the sheriff walk
ed up in that quiet way of his.
Colonel said Judge Walton, Mr..
Sheriff, | should say, see if that respon-
dent won't plead guilty provided his hne
is put at $50
Col Littlefield smiled and went over
and talked with the prisoner. 1t took but
a few minutes, and in less time than it
could be told he had retracted his plea,
pleaded guilty and had been fined.
Then the court sent out for the jury
Gentlemen said he, it seems that

rs that fact, gentlemen"
1T is, please the court said the fore
man.
well, then, for your edification I will
say that the prisoner himself is quite well
satisfied that he is guilty for he has
pleaded guilty and has been fined. You
are excused from further consideration of
the case ,"

A street Car INCIDENT.

The passengers on Chestnut street car
enjoyed a good laugh yesterday afternoon
that was worth double the fare, says the
Philadelphia Record. At Eighteenth and
Chestnut streets the car stopped and an
old man, who attracted considerable at
tention, got on. He looked like a nan
who had built up a brisk business in some
provincial town. He sat down near the
rear platform and when the conductor
came in for his fare he handed him a
quarter and pocketed his change. SAY"
he shouted, you give me a receipt "a
what?" II want a receipt. First thing
l know some other conductor'll get on
here andll want another fare. You give
me a receipt" The other passengers
laughed but the old man persisted. you
give me a receipt" MY good man" SAID
the conductor, I'VE don't give receipts
Your fare is paid and 1t is all right" The
old man was not satisfied with this and
still requested his receipt. The conductor
went out on the platform and pondered
deeply for n moment. Then he fished
an old transfer ticket from his pocket and
handed 1t to the passenger. He was sat-
isfied with this and held il tightly in his
fingers until the car reached Eleventh
street. when he got Off.

Tuesdays Vote in Georgia.

Just how many votes were cast at
Tuesdays election in this state
is not yet known, and may nos
be for several days, but it was
considerably smaller than was that which
was cast at the state election in October
Not only was the vote smaller. but there
was a very great falling off from the ma
jority by which the democrats carried the
state in October.
The smaller vote was due doubtless to
the fact that many democrats felt much
less interest in the national than In the
state election. They thought that the
state would go democratic without their
help, and hence did not feel 1t necessary
for them to go to the polls.
We call attention to the vote for
one reason only, and that is to ask, what
the result of a gubernatorial election
would be If held next month when the
judges are to be chosen, or some time next
spring Would the democrats carry the
state if the republicans and populsts
should unite and make Mr.. Tom Watson
their candidate?
In Tuesdays election there was no flu
sion between the republicans and popu-
lists, but 1t is believed that many thous-
ands of populists voted with the repub-
leans Would they do so again? If Mr..
Watson should be nominated by populsts
it would not be a difficult matter to bring
about fusion between the popuists and
republicans. They would have a common
bond of interest, namely, their hatred of
the democratic party.
If united could they carry the state? II
they could get out their full vote it is not
at all improbable that they could. They
might succeed, however, in getting out as
large d percentage of their voters as the
democrats could of their voters In that
event they would stand a pretty good
chance of carrying the state. That being
the case would it be avisable to have an
other gubernatorial election this year or
next?
We do not ask this question for the pur-
pose of injuring the chances of any can
didate for the senatorship, but simply that
the true political situation may be placed
before democratic voters. If another cleo

the governors mansion nine-tenths of the
democrats would be against an election.
Even If they had only doubt as to what
would be the outcome Of it, they would
hesitate about favoring another election.
Assuming that we have stated their po-
stion correctly, they ought to make up
their minds promptly as to whether they
think another gubernatoriai election
either this year or next, would be advis-
able, and they should not hesitate to in
form their respective members of the leg
islature as to what their decision is.

The Course for the Democracy.
From the Florida Citizen Dem.).

Only one course now remains open for
the democratic party. The nation has re-
jected free coinage by a majority so de-
csive that the verdict must be accepted
as irreverslble. People may talk about
carrying on the contest, but every sensi-
BILE man knows that 1t Is ended. The fight
was a foolish one, and to propose its con-
tinuance would be nothing short of mad
ness. The party must turn its back upon
the unwise leaders who have brought dis
aster upon it. 1t must return to the safer
path laid out by its founders. That is
the moral of the election.

Mr. Mckinley will probably make safe
President. although he represents polt-

stands for a policy which made the Bryan
movement possible. Great promises have
been made for him and his adminstra-
ton. We hope that they win be fulfilled,
but an immediate revival of business can
hardly be expected. The stability of the
national credit will be maintained for the
resent at least. and, we may hope after the

that there viii be such reforms in the
financial system as will make all parts of
the country equal sharers in the blessings
