The Peoples Party.

The delegates in the interest o.
Peoples party will NEST ct Omaha
next Monday, the 4th Of July, TO
adopt . platform of principles and
nominate candidates for President
and Vice President of the United
States. The moving spirits in the
organization of third party have
selected an ever glorious day upon
which to assemble to adopt and
formulate principles in behalf Of
the peoples cause. The platform
should embody expressions of pat
riotism betting the birthday Of
American independence. The name
of Judge Gresham, of Indiana, has
been prominently mentioned as a
candidate for President, but he has
positively declined the honor. There
are several other names mentioned
for the candidacy. The silver men
seem determined to name the man.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and
Alva Adams, of Colorado. appear
to have the call. It is altogether
probable that the nominee will be
made from a mining state.

Drouth in Texas.

While portions of the country are
suffering on account of floods and
severe rains, the great drouth that
has prevailed over northern Mexico
and part of Texas for the last two
seasons, continues unbroken, ex-
cept in very few places. The cat
tie industry is almost annihilated
and there is a total failure of crops
except in the irrigated districts.
The result is that already there is
extreme suffering among the poorer
classes on account of the scarcity
of food. The situation in the states
of Durango and Coahuila, Mexico.
is extremely critical. At Lerdo free
lunch rooms have been established,
where part of the hungry ones are
fed. Several hundred thousand
bushels of corn have been sent
from the United States to these
states, which has prevented utter
starvation.
The poorer classes in the Texas
drouth region have subsisted for
months at time, during the last
two unfortunate seasons, on contri-
buttons sent from other more for
tunate parts of the state, and with
out such outside aid to help them
through this third year of drouth,
they would literally starve.

DURING the late war DR.. John S.
Taylor was surgeon in the Twenty
third Illinois Infantry Regiment.
Shortly afterwards he lost his mind,
and has been confined in various
insane asylums in Illinois since
1869, as an insane pauper, although
entitled to pension of $72 "a month.
The pension agents at Chicago
have just discovered that Mrs. Alice
s. Taylor, wife of DR.. Taylor,
has been drawing and converting
to her own use his pension since
July, 1875, receiving in the aggre-
gate $16,564, none Of which has
been used for his benefit. Mrs.
Taylor was brought to Chicago and
compromised with the government
by the payment of $500. She is
we'll known as an Iowa temperance
worker, her writings on the subject
having wide circulation.

A THIRD party convention, COM
posed of advocates of the free coin
age of silver, met at Reno, Nevada,
last week. Thomas Wren, a Re-
publican congressman from that
state, was made chairman of the
convention, who urged the people
of Nevada to shake off the allegi-
ance to the two old parties. The
platform demands the remonetiza-
ton of silver and free and unlim-
tied coinage thereof at the present
rate Of sixteen to one. 1t denoun-
ces the action on the coinage ques-
ton of the recent National Repub-
lican and Democratic conventions,
and repudiates both conventions.
It confers upon the silver league OF
Nevada the right to direct the pres
idential electors for whom they shall
cast their votes. The "Silver Party
of Nevada" was selected as the
name of the new organization.
Three presidential electors were
chosen and twelve delegates to the
Omaha convention appointed.

LABOR troubles still continue to
agitate the city of New York. AT
the close of the days work, on June
IS, the members of the iron league
discharged all the housesmiths in
their employ, numbering nearly two
hundred, and refusing to reinstate
them unless they renounce their
membership in the order of the
knights of Labor. At least five
hundred other employees, whose
work is dependent on that of the
housesmiths, are compelled to be
idle, and further complications are
likely to ensue which will result in
eventually throwing fully $4,000
men out Of work.

Helena Mining Congress.

A late Helena dispatch says that
extensive preparations are being
made for the approaching mining
congress, for the purpose of making
it an important factor in the third
party movement, in view of the dis
satisfaction of the people of the
mining states with both the dem
ocratic and republican nominees
and platforms. The silver men will
take advantage of the congress to
bring about a grand rally in the in
terest of free coinage and third
party. Senators Stewart, Wolcott,
Jones, Thomas M. Patterson, and
other prominent silver men will
attend the meeting of the congress.

They Score Boise City.

A lively, but small, Worlds Fail
mass meeting was held at Boise
last Monday night. Instead of the
citizens of the capital city turning
out en- masse on an occasion of such
vital interest to them and to the
State of Idaho, they very quietly
remained at home and allowed the
ladies to make up the "mass meet
ing" Commissioner Wells and At.
torneys Hagan and Hepburn, Of
North Idaho, addressed the meet.
ing, and from the report we saw Of
their remarks, We infer they gave
the Boise people good roasting
for their supineness in matter Of
so much Importance to them and
the state, as a worthy exhibit Of
Idaho's resources for the World s
Fair. The commissioner said: III
the people of the city persisted in
remaining in an eddy in the stream
of progress, they would become
CUVcloO WILL ulOSS dIlu 6Cuul, sllO
would be smothered with moss and
sand and never be heard Of" Mr..
Hepburn said: Northern Idaho
had aroused itself and was doing its
share of the work, while Boise,
which lives in a measure upon the
north, was still asleep" Even
Mayor Pinney, when he dismissed
the meeting, exclaimed, II am
ashamed of Boise p his declara-
ton being loudly endorsed.
It has long been proverbial
throughout the state that the people
of Boise City have manifested very
little interest in matters pertaining
to the general welfare of the state,
while they think the people Of other
portions of the state should take
lively interest in and pay tribute to
the little capital city. Their great
seems to be to catch every
thing they can and give up nothing.

MIR. BARBOUR, member of the
Indian. council, with Sir e. w.
Freemantle, chief of the mint de-
partment, will probably be the
British delegates to the information
al monetary conference. Barbour is
q prominent bimetallist. He acted
at the Paris conference and signed
With Lord Lansdown, Sir Henry
Brackenbury and other members
of the viceroy's council, the recent
minute to the secretary of state
for India, urging his government
to give the United States conference
proposals its strongest support.
The minute which has been issued
by the foreign Office says 1.-THE vio-
lent oscillations since 1890 and the
rapid decline in the price of silver
cause the mercantile community
the greatest anxiety. If an inter
national agreement be not attained
the United States Government,
sooner or later, will be driven to
adopt the silver standard or aban-
don the purchase of silver. The
cessation by the United States of
the purchase of silver cannot fail
to further depress the price of the
metal. The British Government
ought to consider measures calcu-
lated to protect India and remedy
the violent f1uctuation in the rela-
tive value of gold and silver. The
parliamentary. committee Of the
trade unions council have passed a
resolution declaring that the coun.
Gil hoped the international confer
ence would result in stable exchange
being secured between the moneys
OF the gold and silver using coun.
tries Of the world"
