The Houston Post says Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland
scrappng dead issues that the silver question
is no longer issue That shows how much an editorial
poet may know Of facts The money question is vital
issue. We will either have have free coinage or
bank currency The needs Of require one or tb
other. Democrats like Hill and Bryan will favor TO-
coinage Mugwumps like Cleveland will stand with renbc
ans TO, asset bank currency bonds and bank control

II the Houston Post isn't leveheaded in this statee,
then 1t is hard matter to tell Of what that article =;
constituted The Post says; Mr. Cleveland should no.
orag that he was the man who brought democracy into

THE NIGHT WIND.


Have you ever heard the wind go "Yooooo?"
It's pitiful sound to hear
1t seems to chill you through and through
With a strange and speechless fear.
It's the voice OF the night that broods outside
When folks should be asleep,
And many and rnany's the time I've cried
To the darkness brooding far and wide
Over the land and the deep:
Whom do you want O lonely night
That you wall the long hours through"
And the night would say in its ghosty way:
Hooooooo!
Yooooooo
Yuoooooon
My mother told long ago
(When was a little tad
That when the night went wailing so,
Somebody had been bad
And then when was snug in bed,
Whittier had been sent,
With the blankets pulled up around my head
I'd think of what my mother said
And wonder what boy she meant
And Who's been bad today1 ?" I'd ask
OF the wind that hoarsely blew,
And the voice would say in its meaningful way:
"Yooooooo
Yooooooo!
Yoooooool"
That this was true must allow
You'll not believe it, though
Yes, though I'm quite a model now,
was not always
And if you doubt what things I say,
Suppose you make the test;
Suppose, when you've been bad some day
And up 10 bed are sent away
From mother and the rest
Suppose you ask, Who has been bad?"
And then you'll hear what's true
For the wind will moan in its ruefulest tone:
"Yooooooo
Yoooooool
Yoooooool"

Ihe NemfounGLnnd Treatu.

We shall be curious to see what
course Canada will take in regard to
the treaty signed with Newfound-
land on Saturday. VIII she repeat the
course pursued by her in 1890, or will
she be prepared to admit that her OBJ
jections then were as unfounded as
would be her objections now? For,
practically, the situation remains uE-
changed In 1890 she protested
against the ratification of the treaty
because she thought a treaty would
endanger her interests in pending
reciprocity negotiations with this
country. Her protests were needed az
the time by England. Nearly twelve
years have passed since then, and no
reciprocity treaty has been made yet.
Nor is it likely to be negotiated. This
dog in the Manager" attitude on the
part of Canada has greatly injured
Newfoundland, OF course. 1t viii be
curious, we repeat, TO see whether
Canada can again force the mother
country to discriminate in her favor
and against the interests Of the lesser
colony.

A gilded record Of its summer days.
A hooking birds low cadence. sweet and

Pours from a vine wherein the ripe
grape glows.
The sound is Ike the fragrance OF a

Or silver moonlight melted into song.
Across the east the red Of day is born.

Where smiles the wisdom Labor taught

The wisdom OF the sugar cane and corn!
