SHED at Her Face.

The Judge came riding along the lane
On piebald horse with chewed Off
name
The breezes toyed with his iron-gray
hair
And fitted his whiskers here and there.
He rode along in reflective mood
That nicely fitted his solitude.
His short fat legs in their circling flare
Put the horse in parenthesis, as it were.
Maud stood in bend of the old rail
fence
To observe his honor approaching
hence.
Her stub nose shone in the summer sun
Like piece of steak that was medium
done.
The freckled face of the rustic maid
Would stop a train on a steep down
grade!
Her dress was faded and old and worm
Fl er hair was the color of ripened corn.
The hat she wore on her pumpkin head
Would make mummy forget twas
dead
The old horse uttered startling snort
At risk of fine for contempt of court;
And shield meath the rider until it
threw
His center of gravity all askew.
Another jump, and his honor felt
The cold earth hit him fearful weltl
He uttered the deepest grunt of pain
That was ever heard in that dusty lane.
Then uttered phrase too extremely
ripe
For moral paper to put in type.
Maud stood and grinned like circus
ape
To see him joggled out of shape.
He gazed at her with fiery look
That would burn the back off aspelling
book.
He studied her features and understood
What threw the horse in such fright
ful mood.
Then placed his hand on his polted
head
And with preface of dashes said:
"Young lady, the next time pass this
place,
hope to Godfrey you'll hide that face.

The census returns of Texas present
some curious facts. For instance,
Bailey county has but four residents;
Cochran has twenty-five; Andrew has
thirty seven; Lynn has seventeen, and
Dawson has thirty-six. Twenty-Five
other counties have a population of
less than 500 each. Some counties have
no running stream within their bord-
ers, some are hundreds of miles from a
railroad, and others are almost wholly
inhabited by prairie dogs, jack rabbits
and rattlesnakes. Tom Green county
the largest in the State, is larger than
the whole state of Ohio, and has but
6,S04 inhabitants.

BRYAN DID NOT CONQUER.

Ihe contrary is true for Colonel Bryan

urgently needed to hold any class of
voters for Bryan, it was tie vote of the
workingmen who voted for him at the

From .hs wIIs.inss.a Isssss el ne rh,lsdei-
wilpiisson City Council appears do
tsrmined 70 take back 70 itself all OF the
power which ID has heen possible 20
snasoh from the general wrcok. Osce the
Council WAS the ruling body OF this city,
but from time 10 time the power was
taken away from IL and vested in the
hands OF various city departments. Tbis
has continued for 30 long thai until the
present Council got into power there was
no effort on the part of the members of
the body TO do anything excep. what
they had to do. The present memters OF
Council have started out on the idea
that it is the duty Of Council to take
back to itself all of the power which it
can possibly wrest from the departments.
The first thing done was to take the
power of collecting and disposing of gar
bage out of the hands OF the Board of
Health. A previous Council had taken
the disposition of the garbage from the
board, but this body took the collection
as well. OF course there may have been
some politics in the plan, but one of
the main objects was to give Council
some power. Now the City Treasurer
has been directed to deposit all moneys
received for the rent of wharves, for fees
in the markets and for taxes on tele-
graph poles to the credit of the city, in.
stead of to the special credit of the Street
and Sewer Department. OF course the
Street and Sewer Department will fight
this instruction, but the Council is de-
termined to have the money, not 30
much on account Of the amount as de-
termination to take possession OF what
ever offers. While the present Council
has made number of bunders and
has not by any means pleased the
people in the conduct of city affairs, it
Is backed by the people in the matter of
taking all the power possible from other
bodies.

constitution, denying civil rights to
colored men. 1t is true their consti-
tuition has never been changed but
since the 18th amendment to the U. S.
Constitution was passed it has been a
dead letter and so decided by their
courts and ever since the colored man
has had the same rights in that he en-

fight imperialism and trusts without
having free silver coinage? And if
so, why not do SO? What advan-
tage Is there in an empty dinner
pail? If none, why insist on free
silver and an empty pail, when we
could have fought imperialism and
trusts on a full one?
But Mr., Bryan says, no. Imper-
ialism is paramount, but if you
nave it, you must have free silver
too. You must take the whole hog
Or none.
Is this the kind of leadership and
craftsmanship we want? If not, is
it wise to choose him to lead?
In this great disaster capitalists
can save themselves by buying ex-
change or foreclosing. The hard
ships and misery would fall upon
the laborer, and those in debt, that
is upon the mass of our people, and
make the rich richer, and the poor
poorer.
Crime and lawlessness would nee
essarily increase, and driven by
hunger and despair, become ram
pant.
Instead of more money, which
Mr.. Bryan promised us, we have
seen that his election means mon
ey famine for year and more, and
instead of prosperity for the pro-
ducers of wealth., there would be
but losses, hardships and suffering.
In view of these inevitable, and
many of them conceded conse-
quences of Mr.. Bryan's election, is
it advisable to put him ina
