The Women at Omaha.

The women Of the Omaha convention
constitute factor in this great contro-
versy that cannot be forgotten. 1t was
great political convention that knew
no discrimina ion on account of sex.
Women were there occupying seats and
doing work as accredited and accepted
delegates. Not only this, but broad
minded, able and earnest women were
there who did valiant and successful
work III fashioning and determining the
deliberations of the delegates. From
the south and the west ana the middle
states-aye, and from the east also-the
women of America were at Omaha.
They were there, first of all, to recognize
present conditions and to lay on the altar
all they have and are for industrial
emancipation. The Omaha convention
gave to women equal and exact justice
with men, and i'll return every woman
in the land should give all her support
to the platform and nominees of the

A Continued ovation in Colorado.

The tour of General James B. Weaver,
the Peoples nominee for president,
across Colorado was series of constant
ovations. In no campaign of any kind
in this state has candidate ever been
received with so many and so genuine
demonstrations of enthusiasm and SO
many pledges of support. In Denver he
filed the largest auditorium in the city
for two successive evenings, thousands
finding it impossible to gain entrance to
the coliseum. AT Pueblo the spacious
mineral palace could not hold the throng
that fiocked to hear him. AT Leadville
two meetings were necessary in order
that the miners might hear the only
candidate who is pledged to sign free
coinage bill. At Aspen the welcome
given him by the Pitkin county miners
surpassed anything ever seen i'll the way
of political demonstration in the state.
At Grand Junction the farmers and
fruit growers of the Grand valley gave
evidence of their devotion to the silver
cause By an enthusiastic greeting to the
champion of free coinage. All along
his route, at Canyon City, SaliGa. Buena
Vista, Glenwood Springs and Newcastle,
the Peoples nominee was received with
unusual demonstrations of welcome.
No such triumphal tour was ever before

Lending Their Debts.

Tho last report Of the secretary of the
treasury shows that the national banks
alone are lending nearly $4,000, 100000,
or about double the highest amount
that any one estimates there is in
all forms in this country The amount
lent III other ways cannot be less
than ten times as much as the banks
lend-probably it is many times ten
but at the lowest estimate it would take
more money than is in existence to pay
per cent. interest on the loans. The
result is the owners of the little money
in existence are quietly absorbing all
the property in the country as compen-
sation for the use Of their credit. They
are boarding their cash and lending
their debts. Colorado Farmer.

Rocky mountain country.
Amid all these demonstrations Gen
eral Weaver has borne himself with a
courtesy and u dignity that has gained
for him the respect and confidence even
of his opponents. His speeches have
been frank and able and manly. His
arguments have made visible impress
sion on the people of the state. They
cannot be answered by calling him a

gogue." Rocky Mountain News.

WOMEN OF THs PEOPLES PARTY.
Much of The Movements Success in Kan

uA ucu Oh me uOteluehC'S SuCceSS hai-
sas Is Due to Their Enthusiasm.
Annie l.. Diggs writes in The Arena
of the women who are influencing poll
tics in the west, particularly in Kansas.
Speaking of the beginning of the revo-
luton which overthrow ex-senator In
pals, she says
Politics for the farmer had been recre-
alton, relaxation or even exhilaration,
according to the varying degree Of his
interest OF of honor hatteringly bestowed
by town committeeman upon a ''sOlld
yeoman" at caucus or convention. The
flush of pride over being selected to
make a nominating speech or the sense
of Importance consequent upon being
placed ON resolution committee to &C.
quiesce i'll the prepared document con-
veniently at hand-these high honors
lightened much muddy blowing and hot
harvest work.
But the farmers wives participated in
no such ecstasies. Hence for them no
binding party ties. And therefore, when
investigation turned on the light, the
women spoke right out in meeting, de-
manding explanation for the nOnap-
pearance of the home market for the
farm products, which their good hus-
bands had been prophesying and prom
Using would follow the upbuilding of
protected industries. These women in
the Alliance, grown apt in keeping close
accounts from long economy, cast eyes
over the long account of promises OF
officials managing public business, and
said, Promise and performance do not
balance" "Of what value are conven-~
ton honors, or even elected eloquence in
the national Capitol, if homelessness
must be our children's heritage?"
The great. political victory of the peo-
pie of Kansas would not have been won
without the help of the women of the
Alliance. Women who never dreamed
of becoming public speakers grew elo-
quent in their zeal and fervor. Farm
ers' wives and daughters rose earlier
and worked later to gain time to cook
the picnic dinners, to paint the notices
on the banners, to practice with the
glee clubs, to march in procession.
josh Billings saying that ''wimmin is
everywhere" was literally true in that
wonderful picnicking, speechmaking
Alliance summer of 1890
Before this question of the salvation
of the imperiled homes of the nation all
other questions, whether of ''prohibi-
ton" or suffrage" pale into relative in
consequence. For where shall temper
ance OF high thought of franchise be
taught the children, by whose breath
the world is saved, if sacred hearth fires
shall go out? The overlapping, all en-
bracing moral question of the age is
this for which the Alliance came. Upon
such great ethical foundation is the la
Dor movement of today building itself.
How could women do otherwise than be
in and of it?

fedcrates.
II was July, 1851, at the beginning OF
the war, when the celebrated Light
Horse cavalry of Albemarle county,
Va, was stationed u little below Gull
pepper Court House, Va. The country
then had not been ravaged by war, but
was fresh and full Of abundant crops OF
both fruit and vegetables; the men,
therefore had no trouble In living sunp-
tuously every day. The enemy were
reported as advancing rapidly from
Washington, and the ''rebs," fresh for
the fray" anxiously awaited them.
There happened to be just in front Of
their piclSet-line n fine peach orchard,
the luscious fruit of which was just be-
ginning 10 turn. The boys had been
waiting eagerly for them TO ripen,
when they expected 10 have a feast.
But the "Yanks" had now reached tho
other side Of the orchard, and their
pickets had aso spied the savory fruit,
which they also laid claim 10. II was
now almost daily occurrence for the
piokcts on each side 10 have brush
TO see which should get the peaches
which hung so temptingly between
them. First the "YanlSs" would be
| driven back and our men would load up
haversaclSs and fall back; then the
"Yanks" would he successful and get
the pick of the crop. II occurred 10 our
bows, however, that the enemy were
getting the lions share, 10 u resort w

cure the remainder.

that Ben Tarbolt, the sergeant OF tn
company, who was perfect mimic o
the Negro dialect, conceived the idea
taking n dozen men with him, blacl
themselves up, and see what could b
done. Ben with his party skirmishe,
around the orchard, and soon each fel
low was safely perched in a peach tree
pulling peaches for life; at the sam
time our pickets were sending n FEY
shots over their heads TO keep up al
pearances and allay any suspicion o
the other side. The "Yanks," however
heard rustling In the trees, and, thinl
ing all was not right, called OUT
who's thore?"
Ben, who was spokesman, replied;
