A crop this year would take away all of
the pestilence that failure brought upon
us. A crop this year would let the wind
out of populism, and the suckers that
have held on to this great hulk would
drop off and perish. Calamity howlers
would seek their holes, and patriotism
would lift up its head. The lame and
the halt and the blind that compose the
class that has given Nebraskasuch an un
enviable notoriety would, perforce, cease
their lamentations. Cranks would be

would clear the field, and optimism would

RELIEF WORK In discussing the
WELL DONE work of the Nebras
ka relief commission of 1891 Governor
Boyd, in a public message, said that
this commission was entitled to a dis
tinction, particularly unique that of
finishing its work with a cesh balance,
on hand. There was 3553 left over.
Rev. L. P. Ludden directed the work
and he handled 200,000. The present
state relief commission that had its in-cipiency-
during Governor Crounse's
administration has been under the same
management and Mr. Ludden will a
second time close the relief work with a
balance to be turned into the state
treasury. This commission, with Mr.
Ludden as the active manager, has
handled 35,000 in private donations,
50,000 appropriated by the 'state, and
to some extent, the last appropriation of
200,000 made by the legislature. It has
also distributed supplies to the value of
nearly 500,000. Every deserving appli
cant within the knowledge of the com
mission has been taken care of,' and
there is, or will be, 2,000 more or less,
left over after all bills have been paid.
The work of the commission has been
well done and Mr. Ludden and his assoc
iates are entitled to the highest com
mendation. NIGHT.

silver tide
Of moonshine floods the room with
lustrous light,
A glorious gift to me from the hand of
peaceful night.
The shadows of the trees in tremulous
outlines fall
In phantom pictures on my moonlit
chamber wall.
The myriad shadow-leaves, with noise
less movements slow
In a phantom breathless breeze, blow
to and fro.
Below me lies the city, wrapped in sooth
ing sleep.
No sound comes up to mar the silence,
bushed and deep,
The streets resound no more with
hurrying feet,
No passers-by their fellows warmly
greet.
No laughter rings in merry chimes
upon my ear,
No sound of weeping or of wrath I
hear.
Soft sleep hath had her unmolested
will,
And bade all harsh discordant sounds
be still.
Then memory, the voiceless singer of
the night,
Stands by my side in a robe of shimer-
ing white.
With lyre in hand she sings to me of
other days.
With hand in mine through' bygone
paths she strays,
And lo, the night seems peopled with
the loved ones gone,
And I no longer stand in the softened
light alone.
In the night with God and memory and
silence I feel
A reverence deep, and, solemnly I kneel
And stretch my hands out through the
silvery air,
And lift my heart toward heaven in one
great silent prayer.
And lo, before my eyes I seem to see
great altar stairs.
That reach from earth to heaven my
cares,
A heavy load I take and slowly upward
climb,
And lay them on the great white altar
for a time.
