Federal courts, more honored in the
breach than in the Observance; and so
soon do we grow familiar to oppres-
sion, that what our forefathers would
have regarded as ultimate cause for
revolution, is to-day locked upon al
most as a matter-of-course- Missouri
has seen her county judges imprisoned
because they disobeyed the order of a
Federal Judge-observing their oaths
and obeyiug the laws under which they
held their positions; but the general
public plodded along, each individual
sovereign (O thanking God that it
wasn't his withers that were being
wrung. 1t is true some newspapers Of
anarchistic tendencies feebly remon-
strated. but their general 'crankiness'
voided. as was right. the force of their
animadversions. The leaveu of pre-
cedent is working, and the West Vir-
GINA Judge is only the logical Sc
quence to his Chicago prototype. At
ter while no public demonstration,
no wo"kmen's lodge, will be held ex-
cept by Federal permission. Then
we'll all be happy, and peace will
reign all over the land.

The Ass KnOweth His Masters Crib.

1t is stated in the news columns of a
recent issue of the Republic that since
the return of the monetary commission
of which Senator Wolcott of Colo. was
prominent member, that gentleman
has relaxed his efforts in behalf of sill
yer. The reason assigned for the
change in the Senator's position is that
in his visit to Europe as member of
the commission he came in contact
with the Rothschilds and was made
more fully acquainted with their views
and plans.
The story may or may not be true.
Very likely it Is one of those false
hoods that the agents of the gold trust
resort to in order to 6ishearten the
friends of silver. Having control of a
major part OF the great news arteries
of the world. it is easy for it to promul-
gate any thing. true or false, it thinks
will serve its ends It would not be
surprising. however. if the story should
prove to be true. That Senator would

in its editorial political utterances
than the Globe Democrat. Last week
every day its editorials teemed with

Died-At Arcadia. Mo-, Tuesday,
August Sd. 1897, at 6 o'clock P. NJ,
GLADYS IRENE, daughter of Geo. F.
and Belle Tual. aged 5 months and p
days.
''She came to smile, and blush awhile
Like lovely flowers in May,
To win each heart with guileless art,
And then to pass away.
The Angels came, so bright and fair
And bore away, our little dear

That they might have her in their care.
Pale flower, for you the early dew
In tender pity weeps;
We drop tear upon the grave
Where little Gladys sleeps"

Gov. CRITTENDEN, late Consul-Gen-
eral to Mexico, returned home last
Saturday. His sojourn in the Mexican
Republic has made him a thorough free
silver nan. In an interview with a
Kansas City Times reporter he said;
''Silver is a great success in Mexico,
and despite the low price of silver at
the present time, Mexico is very pros
porous. Down there they sell every
thing out of the country at gold prices

THE Federal Judge who issued an
injunction torbidding Debs' presence
on the approaches to those West Vir-
ginia coal mines is not fool; he's sim
ply carrying out the eapitalisttc doc
trine that the State and the citizen
have no rights which the corporations
may not override. The leaven of that
Federal usurpation which brought U.
S. troops to Chicago in 1894, and i'm
Prisoned American citizens without
jury or trial, is working. The reach
of centralized power grows ever longer
and longer. and its agents never yield
up a prerogative once assumed.

IT is most remarkable fact that
the eyes of our gold standard friends
have not been opened to the moral
enormity that is now being committed
in the Klondyke region of Alaska.
News keeps pouring in of the vast
amounts of gold being taken from the
mines there until the tales Of Eldora,
do become common place and the i'm
agination is surfeited; yet there is nc
audible weeping and wailing and gnash-
ing O: teeth over the imitation of the
currencyI 1t is an economic axiom
money ultimately decreases its pur-
chasing power, other things being
equal. If gold continues to come to
the surface at the rate reportrd
through the newspapers, it will soon
street. We protest that it is unfair to
the bondholder, who purchased his
would buy six bushels of corn, to re-
pay him with gold dollar that will
only purchase half bushel. 1t is an
outrage on the gentleman who has
loaned thousand dollars that would
purchase hundred acres OF land, to
pay him back in money that will only
buy ten acres of the same land. Con-
gress should be convened in extra ses-
sion. and gold should be at once de-
monetized, and the nation placed on a
paper basis under control of the ma
tional banks. If this gold influx keeps
on untold evil will result. The agri-
cultural classes will be enabled to pay
their debts; the United States will be
able to call in all of its bonds; State
and municipal obligations will be dis
charged, and the holder of money will
be compelled to invest his cash and
take his chances in the marts of trade,
to the utter ruin of the country and
the complete upsetting of proper bust
ness conditions. Values must not be
disturbed, whatever else may happen.
When the volume of money contracts,
thereby enhancing the value of the
farmers obligations and decreasing
the purchasing power of his products,
it is matter strictly in accordance
with the laws of trade, and necessary
to preserve the equilibrium of eX-
change. 1t is all right. and if the
farmer suffers he should bear his mis-
fortune with fortitude and in spirit
of Christian resignation; but if the
currency expands, thereby depreciat-
ing the value of bonds and mortgages,
it is a disturbance of values, violation
of sound finance, departure from cor
rect business principles, and blow at
the underpinnIng of morality. After
all, it may be that the business disas-
tiers above set forth are not to descend
upon us, that the Klondyke gold fever
is but another bunko game. A year
or so ago South Africa was the Mecca
of the gold miner. Gold, to use a
homely metaphor, was hanging on the
bushes in that region. There was a
great rush; then came the Jamison
raid, which proved fiasco; and all at
once the bottom dropped out of the
South African gold fields and the ex-
element died away. South Africa
was in range of civilization. 1t was
too easy to reach. Heavy deposits of
gold under the ice cap of the South
Pole, or in Alaska, which no body can
get at, are very opportune, for they
assist in allaying the silver craze. and
at the same time will not initiate the
currency to any very damaging extent.

On Linden. when the sun was low,
All bluod!ess lay the untrodden snow,
And dark as winter was the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly.
But Linden saw another sight
When the drum beat at dead of night,
Commanding fires of death to light
The darkness of her scenery.
BY torch and trumpet fast arrayed
Each horseman drew his battle blade,
And furious every charger neighed
To join the dreadful revelry.
Then shook the hills with thunder riven:
Then rushed the stceds to battle driven:
And, louder than the bolts of heaven,
Far flashed the red artillery.
But re lder yet those fires shall glow
on Linden's hill Of crmsoned snow,
And blo2dier yet shall be the flow
OF Isell rolling rapidly.
This morn; but scarce yon level sun
Can pierce the war clouds, rolling dun.
Where furious Frank and fiery Hun
Shout in their sulphurous canopy.
The combat dcePens: On, We brave,
Who rush to glory or the grave!
Wave, Munich! all thy banners wave,
And charge with all thy chivalry!
Few, few shall part where many meet!
The snow shall be their winding-sheet
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldiers sepuchre.

RECEIVED HIS REWARD,
The Soldier Who Used Snow for q
Bath Was Promoted.
From the Youths Companion.

From the Youths Companion.
In the Crimea, during the winter,
General Canrobert was in the habit of
going about among the men of his
command, incognito, to see what they
were about, and to learn their wants
and encourage the soldiers if they need
ed encouragement. One morning, on
one of these tours, he came upon
young cOnscript who had stripped him
self to the waist and was bathing his
body with handfuls of snow.
That's an odd sort of soap you're
using" exclaimed the general.
"Oh, it's good enough" said the SOL
dier. You see I'm young, and more
than that, I'm Lorrainer from Nancy,
and a fellow-provincial Of General
Drouot, who shaved himself with snow
on the march from Moscow, you now,
with the mercury thirty degrees below
freezing. The. old fellows in my COM
pany, you see. bother me, and make
fun of me because 1 haven't any beard,
and since / can't shave out of doors,
like DrouOt l have to do this to show
those old fellows that I'm no more
afraid of the cold than / am of the
enemy"
"Well," said Canrobert, "what if l
should give you another way of get
ting even with those old fellows?"
"Why, l shouldn't mind" answered
the young soldier.
"I'll make you a corporal" said the
general.
The soldier laughed. IT guess that
won't 60" said he. MY colonel
wouldn't have it,"
"I'm higher up than your colonel I
am General Canrobert."
The young soldier was in transports

corporal in the presence Of the regi-
'ment.

Blow! let us hear the purple slens reply

Blow, buglci answer echoes dying, dying,

They faint on hill or field or river.

And answer, echoes. answer, dying, dying,

THE BEST TEN SHORT POEMS.
Text of the Works of Genius to Which the New York
Sun Accords the Palm,

on what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the firo2
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand forged thy dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars throw down their spears,
And watercd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
Tiger, Tiger, burning bright,
In the forest of the night
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

When in Disgrnce.

When in disgrace with fortune and mems
eyes,
all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my boot
less cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends
possessed
Desiring this mans art, and that mans
scope,
With what most enjoy contented least (;
Yet in those thoughts myself almost de-

Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heav-
