And it came to pass In the days Of Harri-
son, the second, who was ruler over the
mightlest nation Of the world, aud in the
time when Humphrey, whose first name
is L. u, (which being interpreted means
little yOu), was tetrarch of land, cyclones,
mortgages and loan agents, In the fifth
month and 10Th day of the month, that
i was caught up by the spirit (of reform)
and was conveyed In chariot drawn by
the fiery steeds of friendly brother ALI
ance men, through what seemed In the
darkness to be sea of mud. And It
came to pass that soon we arrived at q
beautiful city like unto the city Of En-
poris, and leaving the mud behind we
passed southwark on the great street Of
the city with a rapldlty that caused the
citizens rof that city to stare in fear and
wonder. Soon we arrived in front Of a
large building, the upper rooms Of which
were we'll lighted. And 1t came to pass
that leading to those upper rooms was
a straight and narrow way up which all
must climb who would enter the portals
above. Being led OF the spirit we
climbed the narrow way and were met at
the portal by the guardian angel and Rd-
mitted to the mansion within. And 1t

To the Editor OF THR ADVOCATE.
In your issue of May 25, Is an article,
"Are Government Bonds Payable in Sill
ver?" Will you allow a reader of your
able paper room for a short article.
The demonetlzation of silver In 1873
was undoubtedly the last act contem-
plated in 1868 to fasten the great debt
upon this people so that they and their
childrens' children would be slaves to
this interest bearing debt for generations.
There never had been q single speech
made in either house Of congress or one
word by any public newspaper in favor
of demonetizing silver. Secretly and by
fraud the mint bill was passed without
reading, as it was a long bill Of sixty
seven sections, and Mr.. Blaine ruled that
1t could not be read on account of the
time it would consume.
Mr.. Hooper then moved to suspend the
rules and pass the bill.
Mr.. Holman-I suppose it is intended to
have the bill read before it is put upon its
passageY
The Speaker-The substitute will be read.
Mr.. Hooper, of Massachusetts, hope not.

To the Reform Press.

A meeting of the members OF the Re-
form Press association is hereby called
at Wichita, June 10, at 2 o'clock p. m.
This is the day before the Seventh con-
gressional district convention Of the
Peoples party, which will be followed
by the state convention. We cannot too
strongly urge upon the editors of reform
papers, whether members Of the associa-
ton or not, the necessity of getting ready
for concentrated action in the campaign
before us, which promises to be the most
hardly fought and bitterest in the annals
of our state. On the reform press de-
pends the success or defeat of the peo-
ple's cause; personal differences and
spltes must be laid aside, and shoulderto to
shoulder must we stand to cope with the
press subsidized and owned by the
money power. Then, we say, let every
paper be represented that is with US; let
us counsel together and act In concert
In our work, for there never was a truism
uttered that would apply to any organic
alton more than the reform press.
"United we stand, divided we fall" We
need auxiliary sheets and ready print
that we can tie to through the campaign.
We need more brotherly love and less
contention, and with this end In view,
every brother and sister who expects to
fight with US should become member
of the Reform Press, and meet with US
at Wichita on the above date.

Whereas, At the date of the passage of
said act of congress last aforesaid, to wit,
the 14th day of July, 1870, the coin 90 the
United States of standard value of thst date,
included silver dollars of the weight of
41215 grains each declared by the act ap-
proved January IS, 1887, entitled, An act
supplementary to the act entitled an act es-
tablishing a mint and regulating the cOias
of the United States to be legal tender Of
payments according to their nominal value
for any sum whatever" therefore be it
Resolved, by the senate, (the house of Rep
resentatives concurring therein,) That all
the bonds of the United States issued or
authorized to be issued under the said acts
of congress, hereinbefore recited, are pay
able, principle and interest, at the option
of the government of the United Statas, in
silver dollars of the coinage of the United
States, containing 41219 grains each of
standard silver; and that to restore to .Gs
coinage such silver coins as alegal-tender in
payment of said principal and interest, is
not in violation of the public faith, nor in
derogation of the rights of the public
creditors.
This resolution was tabled and Mr..
Blaine voted with the majority. That is
why thegold men want him for presi-
dent.
If the Peoples party gets the power
they will pay the great debt in silver or
gold and stop the interest drain from the
people. Very respectfully,

OBJECTIONS.
D the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.


To the Editor OF THE ADVOCATE.
AS the people of Kansas are having an
shining" In politics, let me offer the fol-
lowing objections TO the nomination Of
Ives for governor.
Flrst-Upon what issues was the Peo-
ple's party organized? What called 1t
into existence? Was 1t the liquor prob
lem, or the conflict between labor and
capltalP Certainly it was the latter. Wall
street would laugh In her sleeve to see us
change the issue to the former. We
would there divide and slay each other
while capital would steal the ground
from under our feet. Where is the pro-
hibitlOn stronghold? In the country.
Where is the Peoples party stronghold?
In the country. Then can we pls:e
resubmission plank in our platformH
(Nominate a resubmlsslonist for COVER
nor.) am opposed to making prohibi-
ton national issue. | am opposed t.
making resubmission state issue. Ives
Ia doomed by the liquor interests Of Kan
sas City and supported by the same In
our own state.
Second-The Kansas City Times and
Star are as willing servants Of capital as
can bs found in the west. Before the
senatorial election In Ohio, the Star said
In effect that John Sherman was the best
timber the Republican party had. The
Times and Star want Ives nominated for
governor. Will we heed the advice of the
enemy? Step into his own trspP
Third-The Republicans are strainlng
at the action Of the state board of rail-
road assessors. Can we swallow what
they dislike-a reduction Of the assessed
value of Kansas railroads?
Fourth Necessity compels us to nomi- |
date two lawyers for state Offices. Some
OF the best men of the United States are
lawyers, but as a class they are the-well,
don't you remember what Christ said
about lawyers? Why nominate more
lawyers than we are compelled TOT Two
places must be given to lawyers, one to
an educator, and the remainder should
(musD be filed by farmers, laborerS and
Give us Scott, Vincent, or Osborne,
and victory Is ours. When the Peoples
party places succ IS of party above sue
cess of principle, 1t will fall, and 1t ought
to. The voters of Kansas have learned
that the success of principle benefits all
and will work to that end.

came to pass that one sat on the throne
whose cOuntenance was like unto that OF
Moses, whose surname Is CoppOck. And
Moses, (for 1t was hey said unto the peo-
pie, awe will !have song by the Kal-a-
NIFTY club" Now some inquired what
manner of club this could be, and Moses
said that the chief of the department
Of learning said the Interpretation there
OF was "Calamity club Now 1t came
to pass that this club WAS composed of
the chief of the educational bureau Of
that county, and Of a bright and shining
light, whose duty 1t is to record the dis
cussions Of the courts of that county,
and of one whose cunning and independ-
ence haa secured to him the office of a
magistrate among the people, and last
and largest Of Onewhose chief desire seems
to be to serve his countrymen In some
high Office. These four, being led by an
angel at the fountain of music, discoursed
grand music, and all the people shouted
for joy. And 1t came to pass that Moses
then called for song by Quaker valley
poet and wife. Now, 1t came to pass
that they were especially decorated for
the occasion, and sang of the hard times.
And 1t came to pass that as they sang all
the people shouted for JOY, or merriment,
and we felt that 1t was good to be there.
Now after this, 1t came to pass that the
real feast of the occasion was served by
one whose surname was Rice, the same
having been one OF the lawmakers of
the people of this great and windy state.
And 1t came to pass that as he dlsCoursed
learnedly and long on the leading topics
of the times In that county that the peo-
pie were very highly pleased, and when
he had ceased to speak one moved vote
Of thanks, and all the people said,
"Amen~ Then 1t came to pass that one
addressed him who sat on the throne
and suggested that a scribe should be
to record the doings at these
meetings that the world might know of
the celestial music and the intellectual
feasts that are to be enjoyed free by all
who choose to climb that straight and
narrow way. And he that sat on the
throne said It'll we'll and wisely spoken.
Then one addressed him who sat on the
throne and said, "Lst the man who made
the wise suggestion be chosen as scribe"
and all the people said "Amen% Much
more truly was said and done but this
much Is written that all may know that
they are welcome. He that sat on the
throne says come, the scribe says come,
and let all who will, come to the Peoples
party club every Thursday evening.

Mr.. Kerr, of Indiana-The rules cannot
be suspended SO as to dispense with the
reading of the bill.
The Speaker-They can be.
Mr.. Kerr-I want the houset to understand
that it is attempted to put through this bill
without being read.
The speaker was Mr.. James G. Blaine.
Before the vote was taken the follow
ing questions were asked:
Mr.. Potter-I desire in the first place to
ask the gentleman who has this bill in
charge whether il it becomes law it will
make any change in the value of the coin
issued pursuant to it's provisions from the
value of the coin which now exists.
Mr.. Kelley-It does not.
Mr.. Potter-Does it make any change in
the standard of weight or of fneness of the
coin?
Mr.. Kelley-It does not.
Mr.. Potter-Does it provide for any new
kind of coin; coin of any new denomination
other than that which is now coined?
Mr.. Kelley-It does not.
Mr.. Hooper, of Massachusetts, said
Mr.. Ernest Seyd, of London, distin-
guished writer, who has given great atten-
tion to hints and coinage, after examining
the first draft of the bill, furnished many
valuable suggestions, which have been in
corporsted in the bill.

THE ROBBERS WERE FOOLED.

They Crack n Safe and Only Secure Sl.eB.
The safe OF the Bridgewater Carriage
Works was blown open yesterday morn
ing by an expert thief. The knob Of
the door was struck with some heavy
instrument, which broke it off. The
combination was then filled with pow
der and fuse placed to it. The thief
made his entrance into the office by
breaking window light out and hoist
ing it.
The lock on the door was broken on
the inside, the door opened for the pur.
pose of the thief making his exit when
the explosion took place. The door and
the com bination of the safe were entirely
blown off, and papers scattered all over
the floor. The cash drawer, containing
about Sl.25, was missing. This amount
would hardly pay for the powder led in
cracking the safe. Two or three sus-
picious characters have been hanging
around the carriage works and the West
End Furnace for TWO days, and a very
fine buggy made for Jos. T. Engleby
and another for g. l.. Stevens were re-
moved from the works Friday. The
supposition is the thief expected to get
the money paid for them. Fortunately,
j. L. Hines, the general foreman, took
the money out of the safe late In the
evening, amounting to about $50.
The Office of Henry King, general
manager of the Roanoke Iron Company,
was also found open yesterday morning,
but no further indications of robbery.
were discovered.
