WHEN THE SNOW COMES DOWN

Dreaming in the shadows.
Beside the smouldering fire;
And spirits and things earthly
Grow gradually higher.
And thought will somehow, somehow,
Go outward from the town,
To where the dead are sleeping
When the snow comes down.
How far out in Gods acre
The dead wrapped in their shroudS Co..
The babes and parents sleeping,
Forgotten by the crowds?
The flying flakes are roses
That brighten the tombs' frown---
White roses Goo is scattering
When the snow comes down.

o'FERRALL's POLITICS
Largely Dominated by a Spirit Of
Revenge

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-The Post
tomorrow will print lengthy interview
with Governor Charles T. O'Ferrall Of
Virginia, who last fall declined to sup
port the nominees and platform of the
Chicago convention and who Is the rec
ognized head Of the gold Democrats in
Virginia. Governor O'Ferrall talks with
great plainness as to his present posi-
ton and his future action. He an
nounces his determination not to sup
port, under present conditions, the Dem
ocratic state ticket recently nominated
at the Roanoke convention. and gives
his reason for this decision. He criti-
cizes in emphatic language the conduct
of the leaders at that convention for en-
dorsing the Chicago platform, and also
pays his respects to the free silver Dem
ocrats, who have made him target Of
abuse, claiming that they have taken
advantage Of his position, knowing that
he could not answer them, and charging
them with attempting to seek notoriety
through hurting epithets at him. He re-
iterates his charge that Bryan had made
every arrangement to enter the state in
1898 and make speeches in behalf of the
Populist who was running for governor
against him, and gives additional evil
dence to substan tiate his assertion.
