occupy quite two hours. The bill was
introduced ON May Goth last, and on
motion of Mr.. PETER it was taken from
the table, 1t contemplates an increase
of the currency, provides for its circula
ton, reduces the rates of interest and

Now and then one encounters a man
who can not comprehend joke; but
as rule the sense of humor is stronger

strange when we consider her quickness

little obtuse in this way. OF course she
secuted the idea, and scornfully said that
IL ever they showed obtuseness it would
be simply because the so-called joke was
very thin-only the ghost Of joke in

had noticed Scotchman eating roast
mutton. "And, said the Englishman,

companion; "and did he die?" My
friend. who told this with great gravity,
here paused for moment, and his wife
who had been eagerly listening, and who,
woman-like, waited to hear the end,
broke in with "And did he die?" On an.
other occasion the story was told of
man who, being badgered by lawyer

in answer to his questions, finally turned
upon his prosecutor and asked him if he
would in turn answer yes or no to one
question. Receiving an affirmative re-.

whether you are as big fool as you

we all had good laugh, which, needless
to say, was renewed when a lady who

The surest way to get what you want
is to accept nothing else. and to get
what you are after. Therefore the vot-
ers in this country who demand the
free and unlimited coinage of silver are
doing just what they should do in their
forming of clubs and swearing by all
the gods they will not vote for any
candidate for Congress or the Presidency
who is not an out and out advocate of
free coinage.-Pomroy's 1drunced Thought.

The Nominees.

The latest news from Chicago by
yesterdays morning papers left the
convention voting and without
official announcement declare Cleve-
land nominated
The nomination of Cleveland and
Stevenson neatly closes up the conven.
ton work of the two old Wall street
monopoly parties-two minds with
but single thoughG, two hearts that
beat as one. This year has seen in
the National Conventions a power
mightier than that of the bosses.
That power which indicated it's
choice long prior to the assembling
of the conventions aud to careful
observers it was no secret who the
heads of the tickets would be: The
bosses made determined, old fash.
Toned politician fight for Blaine, but
the Wall street powers preferred to
trust Harrison.
The South and West made q most
determined resistance to all anti.
silver candidates, and Tanmany to

stepped on them and crushed them
like an eggsbell, and placed Cleve.
land, the deadiiest enemy to the
silver coinage policy so strongly
upheld in the South and West. at the
head of the democrat ticket. Having
secured the candidates for the headsof
the two nominaly opposing parties,
the corporation interest is satisfied
with the election of ther,-feeling
perfectly safe with its veto power In
the hands of either Cleveland or
Harrison, that no measure can be
come law which the plutocratic
class is opposed to, unless the PEG.
pie make congress solid with two.
thirds of a majority for the public
interest, rather than that of the cap
italistic class.
The people without regard to
former party proclivities owe it to
every interest their lives are bound
up in to pause and deliberately con-
slider the present conditions. Blaine
was clearly the choice of the rank
and file of republicans by an over.
whelmning majority, but the strategy
of the monopoly class with their
ready money easily overthrow their
efforts and disregarded their wishes.
Cleveland is the open antagonist
of the financial policy OF at least one
half of the democratic voters, but
they are powerless as clay in the
potter's hands. The hope of the
money power is to divide the voters
of the country whose cause is one,
as that of the plutocrats is one, but
while thus arraying them in two
opposing bodies, they have made it
sure that they cannot win in voting
for or electing either of the cand.
dates nominated. Can the people
be made to comprehend this political
strategy by which they are to be
again delivered into the hands of
their natural enemy, corporate power?
If they can they will turn and vote
for their own candidates, the nomi-
nees of their own class, the candi-
dates of the Peoples Party, their
party; new ship which sails out
from the fog bound dead sea, where
old parties lie water logged, freghted
with the hopes of the people who
labor and wait-oh, bow long and
patiently they have waited and
hoped in vain. but their petitions
have been scorned and trampled
under foot by both old parties.
