Right here is a good place TO show

The summer skies, with thousand eyes
Shed starlight from above.
While zephyrs blow the leaves as though
They whispered words of love.
In silence deep the roses sleep,
Each clasping TO its breast

Have closed their eyes to rest.

Make black night all aglow,
The pale moon drops a golden kiss

The fact that the reelection in coal
miners wages Immediately followed
the reduction in tariff on coal makes
Mr.. Bryan's speech III Congress in
1894 on that subject very interesting.
In that speech he demanded the en-
tire removal Of the duty on coal, say
ing that "the duty on coal is indefen
sib'e." Coal duties were reduced 35
cents per ton by the Wilson law, and
Il reduction Of from 25 to 30 cents per
ton in wages followed. If Mr..
Bryan's advice had been followed and
the entire IS cents duty per ton re-
moved, it is probable that the wages
would have been still further redu-
ced.

The gold Democrats are organizing
tickets and campaigns of their own
in all the States in which there are
to be important elections this fall,
and it is reported that very much
larger percentage of the Democracy
will support their tickets than was
the case last fall. Many Democrats
who felt bound to stand by the
national ticket and platform last year
are now cooperating with the sound
money wing of the party, and in
many cases, notably in Kentucky,
the county conventions of the gold
Democrats have shown a larger
AMI more enthusiastic attendance
than that of the silver wing of the
party.

Tom Watson and his associates
put an end to further prospects Of fu-
sion between the Populist party and
any ether political organization at
their recent Nashville convention.
That convention which dis
tinctly declared against what
Mr.. Watson describes as ''Hes
sianism IN politics" represents a
great majority Of the Populists Of
the country, and it may safely be as
serted that no national convention IF
that party will ever again be able to
repe.t the performance of 1896 and
make the Populist party an attack
ment to any other political organiza
ton.

| Considerable complaint reaches the
Jacksonian about the damage wrought
by grasshoppers to orchards and vegeta-
bles. At Earl Mackey's place, about 81
miles southeast of Cimarron, these pests
are said to have almost totally destroyed
the peach crop.
This community seems to be coming
in for its share of sickness, broken limbs
and other unfortunate mishaps. DR..
Hollembeak was called to attend Hubert
Locken last Wednesday, who had bis
arm broken by a horse which he
was riding stumbling and falling on
him. The doctor reset the broken limb
and the patient is getting along nicely.
A header belonging j. X. Sayre of

and destroyed the header in short
time. As no one was near At the time of

fact it was the exact counterpart of a
real potato, except of course, the mat

urally arises is, GLOW did it come there,
and how long have potatoes been grow

The reduction in the number of
failures gives another evidence of re-
turning prosperity. They were 20
FER cent less in last month than they
were in June, 1896, and 25 per cent.
less in liabilities, while the liabilities
were ouly one-half of those of June,
1895. The above relates to manufac-
turers, while the general statement Of
commercial failures also indicates a
falling of in number and liz liabilities.
