FIVE days remain before the arrival of
the advance guard of the Pythians

estimated that accommodations have
been obtained for about $1,000 people

IndependentC ,uns.

The system of organization adopted
by the state committee for the coming
campaign is, we believe, the best pro
posed. The plan of the committee is to
organize the whole state into independ-
ent clubs. These clubs are not intend
ed to take the place of alliances or X. of
L. assemblies, but to supplement them
and make their work effective. Into
these clubs can be brought for organized
action the men who have been educated
in the alliances and assemblies. The
clubs viii also bring into harmony and
fraternity with these large number
of citizens who are not eligible to mem
bership in an industrial order. The
club viii also take in a goodly number
of citizens who for various reasons vii
not unite with secret order. II gives
better advantages for joint discussion
with the champions of the opposition.

GOLD BUGS TURNED DOWN.

They Do 1t Themselves BY Proving En-
tirely Too Much.
The gold bugs are in the way to prov
ing entirely too much. 1t may be of
lasting benefit to the country in the
end. The New York Evening Post saws:
There is nothing in silver, intrinsical-
ly, that calls for any more govern
mental coddling than there is in coal.
Indeed coal might appeal for such aid
with much better grace than silver"
That is good. 1t is going to the root of
business It shows how nationally
precious metal is considered when
stripped of its money stamp Now put
gold in the above for silver, and see if
there is any more reason in gold, in
trinsically, for government coddling
than there is in coal. Take the stamp
off; take the legal tender off Let sill
yer, gold and coal stand on the law of
supply and demand as commodities
Let the gold bugs push this matter to
its logical conclusion. We know of
nothing that has had more govern
mental coddling" than gold -Noncon-

The Traut Ely.

No doubt the fairest and most eIe-
CANT method of catching salmon. in
low, clear water. is with the trout fiy.
says a London sportsman. There is a
controversy, which should have been
decided long ago, as to whether salmon
feed in rivers. No.food, as a rule, is
found in their stomaches, but they de-
cidedly feed. Even if they rush at
flies from curiosity it cannot explain
their taking worms. Moreover, fish
has been seen to rise in tranquil loch,
at large, yellow butterfly, and on the
Tweed n salmon was observed to
swallow a bee baited on a hook.
On the Dee, a salmon may be noticed
taking March browns, as trout do, and
they are caught, both there and on the
Tweed, with rather large, artificial
March browns. This settles the ques-
ton as to their feeding in fresh water
But with a high, steady glass, with
cloudless skies and low, silver streams,
it is weary thing to wait for their ca
PRECIOUS appetites, and many fisher is
flying from rivers that are becoming as
dusty as turnpike roads. Where is the
old "Aprile with his schouris swete," as
Chaucer wrote il.

THE COMING CRISIS.
Prepare for the Worst, for a Panic is Sure

Prepare for the Worst, for q Panic is Sure
~ and Steadily eliminating.
The private banking house of Mr.
Fred Rohrer closed its doors yesterday.
We have not seen an inventory, and do
not know the losses to depositors Per-
sonally Mr.. Rohrer has our sympathy,
but the banking system of the country
to-day Is rotten to the core. It is all
based on credit, and in a period like
this while the rich are squeezing the
country to get possession of all the
wealth, the system cannot stand the
strain. Thousands of banks will soon
be put into the straits they were in in
1878. The strong will survive, and the
weak will go to the wall The rich
will be richer and the poor poorer.
These hard times are brought about
purposely and feloniously by class of
rich men. If any man will stop and
think he will know there must
be some reason for it If there was
plenty of money there would be
no hard times. Why is there not plenty
OF money? Where does money come
from, where is it made? By any citi-
zen? No. by the government. Then
why does not the government make
more money when the people are being
bankrupted because they cannot get
money? Stopl You ask too many
questions. You keep on with such
questions and you will discover the
secret of panics like the country is Just
now entering-and the worst one that
1t has ever been experienced A few
men have all the money-like the Chi
cago spectators had all the corn-and
they are forcing people to sell property
for fourth its value to get that money
to pay bills withholding but money
will pay.
The repub lican-democratic congress,
the president and all the government
machinery are in the deal against the
people. They could issue treasury notes,
and pay them out for labor and save
the country from the rich bandits, but
they don't want to- They could declare
gold notes void; they could coin all the
silver; they could in hundred ways re-
lieve the people from the meshes of the
villainous laws, but they won't They
had all these laws enacted for pur-
pose. The congresses were bribed to
get these laws passed, and now they
nave the people IN their power and
they are proceeding to squeeze all
the property out of them that they have
accumulated in the past years. This is
the game, this the effect The hard
times are not yet on the country. The
beginning has hardly commenced. Put
your house in order Prepare for the
worst. The rich will have no mercy on
you. They never have had
This will go on until a new party
comes into power, or until the country
rises in revolution against the oppres-
sion, as they have done in other coun-
tries-as they did in this country in
ITO against just such oppression at the
hands Of rich royalty. The conditions
are the same. Are the American people
ready to surrender their liberties to the
rich bandits of the United States?-

ANIMAL DIFFERENTIATION.
Beasts, Birds and Fish Sacrificed
to Commerce.
The Advance of Civilization Gradually
Wiping Food Creatures Out of Ex-
istence-Some Startling Rev
Citations on the Subject.

The destruction among the wild ami
mails, birds and fish which has taken
place during the last fifty years could
not be better illustrated than it is in
the report just issued by Frederick
Lucas. of the Smithsonian institution,
on the animals recently extinct, or
threatened with determination, repre-
sented in the National museum of the
United States. This most interesting
paper was suggested by the recent eff
forts made by American naturalists to
secure for their museums specimens of
animals, formerly quite common, which
were passing unnoticed out of ex-
istence, and Of which in some cases it
was found that no living example could
be obtained. This led to a national
stocktaking of the contents of the prin-
cipal museums, and incidentally to
review of the process of destruction as
it is now going on.
Some OF the instances given seem al
most incredible. Cod, perhaps the
most prolific fish used as a food, were
SO completely destroyed on part of the
New England coast that when the
waters were restocked with the produce
of one hundred and thirty million eggs
the fishermen of Plymouth, in Massa-
chusetts, sent specimens of the new
fish" to Gloucester to inquire what they
were. The work of the fishery COM
mission has already gone far to repair
the waste and destruction of the New
England fishermen, though strenuous
resistance has always been offered &c
their efforts to open the passage for
shad and salmon to the spawning
grounds. But the lobster ''canneries"
have so far depleted the apparently in
exhaustible stock that the waters adj
jacent to the works are cleared of all
but those of the smallest size; and
even the great oyster grounds of Chesa-
peake bay are showing signs of ex-
haustion, while halibut are growing
scarcer yearly. If the tee1ning repro
ductive power of the shad, the cod and
the oyster is unable to replace the havoc
made among them. it may safely be in
ferred that the birds and beasts fare
even worse in the unequal struggle for
survival
1t is characteristic example OF the
bias OF the supreme Caucasian mind
IN Its dealings with new animals that
when Columbus sailors were sent TO
the top OF the islet of the Alta Vela, in
the West Indian archipelago, to look
for the missing ships. when engaged in
the search for the mythical province of
