WHAT e.RyAN DID TO PORTER.

While Mr.. Bryan really did not in
tend to do it he made a statement in
his Des M,ines address which will
stalk thru the state from now until
election Gay like Banquo's ghost to
haunt the democratic campaigners
wherever they go. In replying
charges made by the Register and
Leader he says
The Register and Leader says
unequivocally that "the democratic
campaign in this state is being financ-
ed directly and indirectly with rail-
road money" If that is not true it is
a libel and the editor ought to apollo
gize for the statement. If it is true
Mr. Porter ought to demand that every
dollar of such contribution be return
ed to the railroad which gave it and
that the member of the committee who
received the money resign, and that
every member of the committee who
knew of the receipt of the money re-
sign. If the Register and Leader will
bring evidence to prove that the COM
mittee has received money from any
railroad in this state or in any other
state to aid in this campaign, and Mr..
Porter does not demand the return of
the money and the resignation of those
who received 1t or knew OF its receipt,
will ask the democrats of the state
to vote against him. Can l make my
position any stronger than that?
si"If Mr.. Porter does not demand the
return of the money. SO I will ask
democrats Of the state to vote against
him" Nothing could be palmer or
more unequivocal. Let Mr.. Porter
how begin on Charlie Johnston's bill

1HE RlyEE, ANp IHE RAILROADS.

Engineers ftave come forward with
f = new scheme to utilize the transporta-
zion possibilities of the Mississippi river
y 1t is now suggested that trolley wire
with power stations located along the
river shores ut proper distances may
\ furnish proprtlsive power to innumer-
able lines of trolley boats and that the
Y great American waterway may become
I again the most important thorough
/ fare for freight transportation north

later when the Mississippi shall be

rail, the freight bill would amount to

The tow will be taken from Pittsburg

There's new foundations started
While the old ones yet are hot,
There's ten thousand men regainin

A-cartin, dirt away,
There's a thousand teams a-tuggin'

To the Night.
Swiftly walk over the western wave,
Spirit of Night!
Out Of the misty eastern cave
Where all the long and lone daylight
Thou wovest dreams Of joy and fear
Which make thee terrible and dear
Swift be thy flight!
Wrap thy form in mantle gray,
Star inwrought;
Blind with thine hair the eyes OF day,
Kiss her until she be wearied cat:
Then wander Ger city and sea and land.
Touching all with thine opiate wand
Come. long sought!
When arose and saw the dawn
I sighed for thee;
When light rode high and the dew was
And noon lay heavy on flower and tree.
And TIE weary Day turned to her rest.
Lingering like On unloved guest.
sighed for thee!
Thy brother. Death, came and cried.
"wouldst thou mel"
Thy sweet child. Sleep. the filmy eyed,
Murmured like a noontide bee:
'Shall nestle near thy side?
Wouldst thou me And replied,
mo; not thee!' 81
Death will come when thou art dead
Soon, too soon;
Sleep will come when thou art fled.
OF neither would ask the boon
ask OF thee. beloved Night
Swift be thine approaching flight:
Come soon, soon!
