We have decided to close the Great
Popular Preacher contest with the wear.
all votes must therefore reach this Office
by Thursday Dec. 81, at IL clock, mid
night. Just two months remain during
which the friends of the preachers must
bestir themselves. More votes have
been received at this Office this week
than ever before and it shows that the
interest is not tagging. It will be no small
thing for preacher, by votes of the
public to be declared the most popular
preacher in four large states to say
nothing of the hundred dollar suit of
Clothes =" '.
~ The interest in the result in some quar-
tiers is extraordinary Many of the
friends Of the preachers are greatly con-
cerned AZ though it meant a suit of
clothes or cane or portrait for them
personally. They emrloy all their elo-
quence to persuade friends that their
own particular candidate is the best and
most deserving of popular support.
The name of the candidates appear in
the order of their standing. The first
in the list has received the largest num-
Der of votes, the second the next largest,
and 50 on throughout the entire list, the
one at the bottom having received the
least number. Ifyour candidate is well
down on the list it indicates that it will
be necessary for your friends to bestir
yourselves on his behalf if you would
have him win.

The Peoples Money.

In spite Of these and other ex-

money market has been most Of

during the past SIX months passed

Democratic the Senate.

New York Commercial Advertiser
One Farmers Alliance plank
has been accepted verbatim by the
Indiana Democracy: 1--WE favor
the election of United States Sena-
tors by the people" In the adj
joining State of Illinois the Demo-
cratic State convention this fall
formally nominated General Pal
mer for the United States Senate,
pledging the people that he should
represent them in case aDemocratic
legislature was chosen. In the adj
joining State of Ohio the mass of
the Democrats are bitterly i'll favor
of similar change. The senti-
ment in these three States,is an in
dication of that which is coming
to prevail all over the country.
The Hanliltonian distrust of popu-
lar self-government which found
expression in the provisions for
the choice Of President by electors
and of Senators by Legislators has
given away to a JeHersonian dis
trust of all institutions which do
not directly represent the,common
sense and common wishes of the
mass of the people. At the be-
ginning bf our Government there
were few States, if there were any,
in which Governors and State SEN
I.ators were elected by the whole
people, In New York the right
to vote for them was restricted to
freeholders possessing$250O, while
any one who owned $3.50 might
vote, for assemblymen. All such
restrictions upon the right Of the
whole people to determine who
shall represent them in Legislative
offices have passed away in all the
State governments. The indirect
election of United States Senators
is the solitary survival to be found
anywhere in our system.
The sentimentthat this anomaly
must be done away with and our
| National Government be made as
logically democratic as our State
governments are not confined to the
Democratic party. The last con-
stitution adopted in Nebraska con.
tanned a provision not mandatory

President Diaz Talks.

CRY OF MEXICO, May 26.-President
Diaz, speaking of the fIlibustering move
ment in Lower California, told an Asso.
ciated Press correspondent that he placed
little importance in the movement. He
knew the United States government
would not allow the neutrality be violated
and the Mexican government would pro-
tect her territory. 1t had sufficient
forces in Lower California to repel any
invaders. Secretary of the Interior Ro-
nero Robio. says all statements that the
natives in Lower California are into league
with the filibusterers are false and he has
advices that the natives are ready to op.
crate agrinst any invaders. kilograms
received here state that the people In
Lower California are a unit against the
6libusterers and statements to the con-
trary are false. Dispatches also say there
is very little complaint against federal Off
cials, who, in most Instances, were sent
from here, and Gov. Terres is very popu-
lar. The affair is the topic of general
conversation here. aud causes considerS-
BILE excitement The better classes sp-
prove the conduct of the United States
government. More rich petroleum dis
coveries have been made in Tabasco.
President Diaz expressed himself in favor
of three American railroads. He says
anything connecting Mexico with the
outer world will be beneficial.

MILWAUKEE, May 26.-The first con-
v%ention of the German Catholic societies
of Wisconsin opened this morning. Up
to noon today nearly 5000 members oil
societies, 100 deleRates,aud about 300 ex-
cursionists had rel orted at headquarters.
Nothing but organization was accom-
plished today. 1t Is expected the con-
vention will adopt resolutions 10 OPP
position to the Bennett compulsory school
law, which is just now shaking the politi-
cal foundations in the Badger state.
A parade of local societies and visiting
delegations is in progress this afternoon.
There seems to be an absence of direct
purpose on the part OF tie convention.
The present constitution of the societies
prohibits interference in politics. 1t is
surmised that this barrier will be removed
in order that Catholics may exert them
selves against the school law next fall.
The leaders, however, scout the idea thai
the meeting has any direct bearing ON the

lstion of SO much money in the general

pense of not less than $50, 900. =.

quest from two colored presbyteries to be

CHICAGO, May 26.-1he congressional
sub committee on immigration and natur
alizstion began a hearing here to-day.
Henry Lloyd. a wcll-kuown journalist
told about the look o at Spring Valley,
Iii. The majority of the men wero for
eigners. He had found forty or fifty
families who were induced to come to this
country through the solicitation of a man
who assured them they would better their
condition. They really were worse Of
than at home. Lloyd declared the lock-
out due to the policy Of the syndicate
controlling the mines, which apparently
thought more money could be made by
having men idle than at work. One OF
the principal owners Is ex Congressman
Scott, of Pennsylvania. Representatives
of the Carpenters Council told of the
strike and instances of men coming from
Canada in answer to advertisements in
serted in Canadian papers by bosses.
