CINCINNATI, May 21-The convention OF
delegates from the various social, polit-
ical and economic organization has re-
solved itself into party to be known as
the Peoples party OF the United States
and adopted series Of resolutions TO the
effect that:
In view OF the great social, industrial
and economic revolution now dawning
upon the civilized world and the new and
living issues confronting the American
people, we believe that the time has ar
rived for a crystaliZation Of the politics Of
our country and the formation OF what
would be known as the Peoples party Of
the United States OF America.
That we most heartily endorse the
platform as adopted at st. Louis In 1889;
Ocala, Fla, In 1890, and Omaha, Neb., In
1891. by the industrial organizations there
represented, and summarized as follows:
The right to make and issue money Is a
sovereign power TO be maintained by the
people for the common benefit, whence
we demand the abolition OF national
banks as banks OF issue, and as a substi-
tute for national bank notes we dem9nd
that legal treasury notes be issued In
sufficient volume TO transact the business
OF the country on a cash basis without
| damage or especial advantage to any class
| or calling the notes TO be legal In payment
|
such notes, when demanded by the peo-
Die shall be loaned TO them at not more
| than per cent. per annum upon nom
perishable products, as indicated In the
sub treasury plan. and also real estate
with a proper limitation upon the guam
tity OF Iand and amount OF money. We
demand the free and unlimited coinage OF
| silver.
We demand the passage Of laws pro-
hibiting allen ownership OF land, and that
congress take prompt action TO devise
some plan TO obtain all the lands owned
BY alien and foreign syndicates, and that
ali lands held by railroads and other cor
porations in excess of such as is actually
used and needed by them, be reclaimed by
the government and held for actual set
tiers only.
Believing in the doctrine Of equal rights
10 all and especial privileges to none, We
demand that the taxation, national, state
or municipal. shall not be used TO build
up one interest or class at the expense o
another.
We demand that all revenues. national
state, or county, shall be limited TO tn,
necessary expenses OF the government
economically and honestly administered

THE ORIENTAL LEPERS
Quarters Provided for Them on Dorcey
Island

VICTORIA, May 2-Readers OF the daily
papers will remember having read
some time ego, a dispatch from Victoria
regarding the unearthing Of lot Of Chi
nese lepers in Chinatown OF that city
The discovery was made, when the city
council ordered a number o. shacks to be
burned down to make room for the new
city market. Five Cinnamon, who nc
one could say whether they were lepers
or not, were found. The Dominion gov
ernment ordered theis health officer %
investigate the case In question. which
was done, and all were pronounced lepers
Something had to be done by the city,
then TO get rid Of the men and so DOrcey
island, Of about 200 acres, 20 miles from
Victoria, was obtained from the Do
minion government. Thither the
lepers were transferred yesterday
on barge In tow Of a
small steamer. One OF the unfortunates
not wishing to go, tried 10 cut his throat
before leaving but he was prevented by
the superintendent OF police, who hap
pened 10 be on the scene.
The island obtained contains some
splendid agricultural land, and as the
Chinese merchants have subscribed foi
the care Of the lepers, their new home
should be omfortable. Neat little cabins
have been erected by the city. and
although unable TO recover, they will be a
great deal better of than in the novels In
Chinatown.

Hinh Tariff in Franca

LONDON, May 21-There is strong feel
ing in British trade circles, likely to be
affected by the French tariff, in favor Of
retaliatory duties on French wines, etc.
This would be serious matter for
France, the United Kingdom being the
best customer for that country's exports.
1t is estimated that the new French
tariff will diminish British exports TO
France TO the amount OF about 7,OOO,0OO
pounds annually, and British manufac-
turers do not know where TO find sale
for the goods thus barred from the French
market. Prominent English manu-
facturers express the opinion that the
French themselves will be the greater
sufferers in the end.

During the several freshets which have
occurred in the Susquehanna river the
past spring vast amount Of ''culm"
from the anthracite coal fields foated
down the river with the debris coming
out of the North Branch and its tribu-
taries. Large quantities of this culm or
coal dirt, which was washed from the
huge banks of that material at the coal
breakers, lodged at the heads of the sew
eral islands opposite and above the city,
and recently parties have secured tons
of it by digging it ont Of the sand and
screening it, producing good quality
of pea and chestnut coal for boiler use.
A considerable quantity of egg or
larger sized coal is also gathered from
the bottom of the river, where it has
lodged among the gravel, and is removed
in a perfectly clean state. All the larger
sizes of coal have become more or less
rounded by the action Of the water.
Tons of this material are gathered dur
ing the summer when the river is low

A SecuIarist "ChristeninR."

On Sunday evening, at the Hall Of
Science in London, G. w. Foote, presi-
dent of the National Secular society,
performed ceremony which has of late
become almost obsolete among Free
thinkers-"the naming of infants" to
wit: The parents appeared on the plat
form with their child, baby of three
months. Mr.. Footc briefly explained
that the custom of publicly naming chill
dren, which had been frequently OBJ
served by Mr.. Bradlaugh, Mrs. Besant
and other Secularist lecturers, was in no
sense intended to be travesty of any re-
ligious function. If parents desired their
offspring to be publicly identified with
the Freethought party, there was no req
son why this should not be done.
Then Mr. Foote, having kissed tho
baby with due solemnity, named 1t
Garlic Bradlaugh Owen Golding." Tho
first Of this portentous string of given
names" is derived from Richard Garlic;
who suffered ten years Of imprisonment
early in this century for asserting the
right of free publication. Mr. Foote ex-
pressed a hope that, when the child be-
comes old enough to understand the sig
niticance of the names he bears, he may
prove worthy of them.-Cor. Public

Young Talleyrand's Engagement.

The engagement Of the youthful Comte
de Talleyrand PeriBord to Mile. de Ro.
han Chabot, daughter of the Prince and
Princess de Leon, has raised the ques-
ton in aristocra tic Paris as to the most
fitting age at which young men and
maidens should enter the holy state of
matrimony. The French aristocracy, it
appears, is divided on the matter.
The Due de Broglie was twenty-four
when he married, the Due de Fezensac
only twenty-five, but Prince Alphonse
was thirty-seven and Prince Ludovic
forty seven when they quilted the ranks
of the bachelors. On the whole, how
ever, it seems that the average age at
which the inhabitants Of the Faubourg
Saint Germain marry is twenty-six;
that of the ladies of the same quarter is
not given, probably on the principle that
"a woman on her wedding is exactly the
age she looks. Pail Mall Gazette

the Hotel Boyer.
At the door they parted, she remains
ing in the vestibule, where her rustic
beauty caused sensation, while he went
up to the desk and registered. He was
evidently nervous, for he nearly put the
wrong end OF the pen In the ink, and
finally wrote; Mr., and Mrs. Blank and
wife, and forgot to set down the place
he came from, The clerk, however, was
used to such vagaries, and assigned the
newly married couple to rooT.
The bridegroom taking the koy, still
in state of husterment, forgot all about
the bride he had left upon the threshold

headlong to the Office to find her. But
in the meanwhile the clerk had observed
Mrs. Blanks plight and sent bellboy
to take her to her room. So when the
bridegroom landed in the lobby he found
no trace of his better half, and his con-
sternation was INDISPENSABLE.
BY this time good many people about
the lobby had got wind of the singular
comedy that was being played, and bets

bridegroom would throw himself into

The record of the fertility of American
ingenuity has been increased by the ad-
dition of the invention of machine fol
picking hops. 1t is claimed this ma.
chine will do the work as clean and
much more rapidly than it can be done
by hand. The apparatus is mounted on
a wooden frame, heavy enough to insure
stability, and is about Z feet long by {
feet wide and 4 feet high.
The branches of the hop bine are fed
into a receiver and are seized between
two rollers and gradually pulled through.
The hops fall into an inclined screen,
and by their own weight fall into the
box prepared to receive them. The
leaves and bines fall on the same screen,
but are carried back by the returning
motion and thrown intoa separate pile.
1t requires only one man to turn the
wheel and another to feed bines into the
rollers. Boston Transcript.
