The bairnies cuddle doon at nicht
Wi' muckle faucht an din ;
"0, try a sleep, ye waukrife rogues,
Your faither's comin' in."
They never heed a word I speak ;
I try to gie a frown,
But aye I hap them up and cry,
"O, bairnies, cuddle doon."
Wee Jamie, wi' the curly head
He aye sleeps next the wa'
Bangs up and cries, "I want a piece"
The rascal starts them a'.
I rin and fetch them pieces, drink,
They stop awee the soun',
Then draw the blankets up an' cry,
Noo, weanie, cuddle doon."
But ere five minutes gang, wee Rab
Cries out fra' 'neeth the claes,
"Mither, mak' Tam gie o'er at once,
He's kittlin' wi' his taes."
The mischief's in that Tam for tricks,
He'd bother half the toon;
But aye I hap them up an' cry,
"O, bairnies, cuddle doon."
At length they hear their faither's fit,
An' as he stukes the door
They turn their faces to the wa',
While Tam pretends to snore.
"Ha a' the weens been gude?" he asks,
As he pits aff his shoon.
"The bairnies, John, are in their beds,
An' lang since cuddled doon."
An' Just afore we bed oursels
We look at our wee lambs;
Tam has his airm roun' wee Rab's neck,
An' Rab his airm roun' Tarn's.
I lift wee Jamie np in bed,
An' as I straik each croon
I whisper till my heart fills up,
'0, bairnies, cuddle doon."
The bairnies cuddle doon at nicht
Wi' mirth that's dear to me;
But soon the big warl's cark an' care
Will quafen doon their glee;
Yet, come what will to ilka ane,
May he who sits aboon -
Aye whisper, though their pows be bauld,
"O, bairnies, cuddle doon."

Ignorance or Dishonesty!
The morning organ of monopoly or
what Mr. McCulloch's shooting stars
have left of It, which isn't much in
dulges in a half column of high-flown
rhetorical cant over what it pleases to
term "the passing of an ism" mean
ing the subsidence of free silver as an
issue In current American politics.
Our deoreplt neighbor says, with an
absurd affectation of moral superiority:
The Journal welcomes the change,
notwithstanding the fact that it takes
from its party the strongest issue it
bad since the civil war, namely, an
appeal to the common honesty of the
American people. But the menace of
the free Bilver theory was of sufficient
Importance to transcend considera
tions of party advantage, striking as
it did at the very root of the pros
perity and contentment of the people
and threatening American credit
throughout the world. It was too
seriouB a matter to be given over to
the chance of politics.
From which the unsophisticated
might be led to believe that "free
Bilver" was a novel and dishonest
theory, evolved by political dema
gogues to deceive the American people,
Instead of the established policy of the
American government for more than
three-quarters of a century accepted
and indorsed by all schools of states
men and all political parties.
When 11 IB remembered that the
leaders of the Republican party such
men as John Sherman, William Mc
Klnley, William B. Allison, George F.
Hoar and William E. Chandler were
openly and aggressively for free silver
until a very recent date; that a Re
publican Congress passed a free silver
bill by a large majority'1 only a few
years ago, every Republican Congress
man from Indiana, Including such men
bb John H. Baker, Thomas M. Browne
and William H. Calkins, voting "aye;"
and that Republican State Conventions
all over the country repeatedly In
dorsed and demanded it, the amazing
hypocrisy and effrontery of the de
cayicg Fairbanks organ's assumptions
may be faintly realized.
Because the play of economlo forces,
not brought into action by.any politi
cal party or public policy, has afforded,
for the time being, the relief which
the bimetallic movement demanded,
offers no ground for reflecting either
on the honeBty or the wisdom of that
movement, which was supported by
many of the greatest thinker and
publicists of all political parties, both
in Europe and America. Indianapolis

Grand Jury Secrets.
Under the laws of Missouri it is a
crime to reveal the secrets of the
grand jury chamber.
The happenings before that body
are supposed to be hold sacred.
The Beal of silence is placed by the
law on witnesses, jurors and officials
alike.'
Yet every day St. Lcuisans are furn
ished by the papers with a full account
of the happenings of the grand jury
room.
Newspaper readers are not only told
the names of witnesses, but are also
told exactly what those witnesses testi'
fied to.
The newspapers go through the
mockery of introducting many semi
apologetic phrases such as "It is
alleged that," "It is Bald that," It Is
said that it is said," and so on, but
these fool no one.
"It is understood that Jones testified
concerning the glucose bill. It is said
that he confessed that he roceived a
$1,000 bribe while in the Legislature.
It Is Intimated that he alleged that
Jones of the Molasses trust was the
man who did the bribing. It is said
that it 1b understood that several in
dictments may be expected In a few
dayB."
This is the sort of stuff that has been
dished up to the people of St. Louis
almost every day for two years.
The items published by the news
papers in this regard are, almost with
out exception, true.
For every paper in St. Louis, In
cluding the World, is daily furnished
with a reliable account of the happen
ings of the grand 'jury room.
From a news standpoint the World
appreciates the favors bestowed upon
it and the other papers.
But how about the legal standpoint?
Is not that worthy of some consider

College Education.
The Rev. Dr. William E. Barton, in
an address before the graduating class
of Yankton college, declared there is
danger that "a large proportion of our
eduoated men will become a burden on
the community." What he meant can
oe gatnerea irom sucn utterances as
the following:
"I can bear with the student oharlt
ably if he counts the classics of little
Importance compared with the ability
to make a home run on the diamond
or kick a goal on the gridiron, but if
mere musole were the end of educa
tlon the hayfield Is a cheaper and more
effective way of producing it than the
college. If elub life and good fellow
ship are the main thing, they can be
had without the assistance of learned
professors and hugh oollege endow'
meets."
From these remarks it may be sup

posed that Dr. Barton's opinion the
men who bid fair to become a charge
upon the community are not those who
receive the education of the college
class and lecture room, but men who go
to college for other purposes and
neglect this essential.
There is grave danger not only that
such men are failing to fit themselves
for successful careers, but. that they
are bringing into disrepute the insti
tutions that give them certificates of
scholarship which they have' not
earned.
The chief fault does not lie with the
young men. Many of them are in
college because they are sent there.
Tbey have little or no idea of a useful
career. They are there to get the
maximum of fun with the minimum of
work.
The true purpose of a college edu
cation would be to change all this to
plant in the young man the seeds of
ambition and to develop in him habits
of industry and continuity of purpose.
If the college fails to do this and,
instead, turns out men no better de
veloped than they would have been
had the same time been spent in the
hayfield, the fault is not with the
college management that for the sake
of the name of turning out large
classes or in the hope of getting large
endowments from rich fathers of
diploma bearers, cortlfies to the
scholarship of young men who do not
deserve so much as a high school
diploma.
It is not the really educated man
who is in danger of becoming a burden
on the community, but the man who
has come out of college uneducated
and who is deceived by his diploma
into the supposition that he is fitted
for intellectual pursuits, when in fact
he has only been fitted for the hayfield.

Pension Corruption.
In the Spanish-American war in
Cuba a total of 243 were killed on our
Bide, including those who died from
wounds.
Only about 20,000 eoldierB in all
went to the scene of brief conflict.
Yet 12,000 claims for pensions have
already been allowed and more than
60,000 applicants have been filed.
It is already clear that the pensions
for this little war will cost more than
the war Itself, wblle the war was soon
over, the pensions will drag on for
years and years.
Civil war pensioners, 40 years after
the war, are about as numerous as

they ever were. C Cuban veterans pro
mise an even longer lease of life, for
they were picked young men. Fifty
years from now it will be no uncom
mon thing, perhaps, for the govern
ment to pay Spanish war pensions to
dependent widows who are not yet
born.
It is utterly impossible, of course,
that 60,000 of the men who enlisted in
the Spanish war, and only 20,000 of
whom even got to the front, should
have been sufficiently disabled as to
justify their demand for pensions.
The thing is becoming a scandal
that seriously reflects upon the patri
otism and honesty of the men whom
the nation would like to regard as
ideal citizens. It is bad enough to
know that the government is de
frauded, but it is worse still te know
that soldiers who might have fought
bravely, had the opportunity been
offered, can stoop to such a palpable
attempt at fraud.
The fault is no doubt, mostly in the
pension department. The granting of
one false claim breeds many other false
claims. The ease with which a fraud
ulent pension can be secured, encour
ages men to put in claims they would
not have thought of offering if sure
to be subjected to close and honest
scrutiny.
There is a seductiveness about
pension hard to be resisted. And the
looseness of the pension department is
corrupting into sneaks and perjurers
many who might othewlse be regarded
as the best men in the nation.
It is a fraud that should have laid
upon it the heavy hand. St. Louis
Chronicle.
It Is Wrong igain.
The New Orleans Picayune now ad
mits tbat the supporters of the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms only asked
for the reinstatement of the law which
Andrew Jackson signed, but it at
tempts to dodge the issue by complain
ing that conditions are different. It
says:
To-day silver is worth per ounce in
London, the greatest silver market of
the world, about 50 cents, so that our
silver dollar would be worth about 38
conts. If we had the free coinage of
silver, anybody could go into the mar
ket and buy Bilver at, say 50 cents an
ounce, and have it coined and pay it
out at the rate of 129 cents an ounce.
Tho position taken by the Picayune
Is absurd. It is strange that a man
who has intelligence enough to oc
cupy a position on the editorial staff
of any paper should be guilty of bo
ridiculous a statement. Why should
any man Bell his silver at 50 cents an
ounce and let another man make the
profit on it? Wa do not sell hogs or
corn, cotton or cattle, in that way.
Tbe moment that prioes. go up In
New York it goes up all over tbe
country, and so when a man can go to
the mint and coin an ounce of silver
into $1.29 he will not sell it to the
editor of the Picayune for SO cents or
anything less than 1.29.
The argument of tbe Picayune re'
oalls the story told by Ignatius Don
nelly. ' It ran like this: Two men
were dlsousslng the money question in
a sleeping car, and as they talked
others came up and asked questions.
Finally one man asked the silver man
if he thought it was right for the gov
ernment to pais a law that would en
able a person to buy silver for 50 cents
and coin it into a dollar and make the
difference (the same argument ad
vanced by the Picayune). Tho silver
man explained that under free coinage
any man in the world could take an
ounce of silver to the mint and con
vert it into f 1 29, and then asked if,
under such a law, anybody In tbe car
would (ell an ounce of silver for lees
than $1 29 and lot some other person
make tbe profit. There was silence
for a moment, and then a voice in a
remote corner said: "I would." 'Jhe
silyer man went to see from what
source the voice came, and found that
it came from a young man that was
sitting by bis mother, and the mother
said: "Don't pay any attention to the
boy. He is an idiot, and I am taking
him to the asylum."
If the editor of the Picayune would
not sell his silver for lees than its
market value, why does he suppose
any one else would; and if nobody
would sell hiB silver for less than it
was worth at the mint, how could any
body buy an ounce for 50 centB and
coin it into $1.29?
The trouble is that the editor of the
Picayune, like other goldites who dis
cuss tbe question without understand
ing it, talks about buying silver be
fore a free coinage law passes and then
talks about coining it after the free
coinage law passes, without consider
ing the influence of a law-crc&led de
mand upon the price of Bilver. The
Commoner.
History Distorted.
A Kansas reader of the Commoner
quotes a magazine writer as saying
that the gold standard was adopted by
the United States in 1831 uDder tbe
leadership of Andrew Jackson and
Thomas Benton. It is Btrange that
any one could be bo ignorant of history
or bo deyoid of conscience as to make
Buch an assertion. The law of ,1831
merely reduced the size of the gold
dollar, so as to make it wpigh one
sixteenth as much as the silver dollar,
it having weighed one-fifteenth as
much from 1792 down to that year.
Free and unlimited coinage at the
ratio of 16 to 1 continued to 1873, and
every holder of gold and silver bullion
could have his bullion converted Into
unlimited legal tender money at the
established ratio. Prior to 1834 the
gold dollar was undervalued at the
mint, and was therefore at a premium.
Between 1834 and 1873 the Bilver dol
lar was undervalued at the mint, and
therefore at a premium.
When in 1896 and 1900 tho gold
standard advocates declared that the '
gold Btandard was adopted in 1834 tbe
advocates of bimetallism answered
them conclusively by offering to ac
cept as a settlement of the question,
the very law which Jackson signed,
but aB that law provided for the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation, it was of course not ac
ceptable to the gold-bugs. All that
bimetallists ask for to-day is the re
enactment of the very law of 1834 to
which Andrew Jackson affixed bis
signature. The Commoner.
