THE PEOPLE SHOULD CHUOSE THE UEAlE"

To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATE.
The wisdom displayed by our fore
fathers in framing the constitution OF
this grand republic cannot be questioned
or over estimated.
They sprang from stock who had
been enslsved by the wOrshlppers at the
shrine of mammon, and had been taught
from their very infancy that 1t was this
slavery that had driven them from their
homes to the then unknown WildS OF
America that they might enjoy the
blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness, hence, then is 1t any won
der that in framing that grand document
they should make that the foundation
upon which the whole superStructure
should rest?
But, alasI while we Qhs peopls) have
pursued our various svocatlon, content
and serenely reposing under the grand
old starry flag, suddenly, as 1t were, the
very clanking of our chains have aroused
US to the fact that the same old foe to
humanity, that tyrannical oppressor, has
been quietly forging link after link until
the struggle between life and death Of
this once free America is so closely upon
us that we have not q moment to lose,
else this great octopus, "the money power
of the old world combined with that Of
Wall street" will have strangled the very
life-out of the nation.
Twill not at this time attempt to de-
scribe these various links, either by de-
tail or as whole, for ! believe most, Ii
not all Of you, are acquainted with their
history; but desire to call your atten-
ton to the fact that we have Benedict
Arnolds in our camp (not one but many,
and they are numbered among the high
as well as the low. They are getting in
their work, too, all along the line. Re-
member Hall, of Missouri. Watch close
Iy Livingston, Of Georgia. And they are
adding 10y quiet purchase, perhape,)
wherever and whenever they find q
brother who from any cause has been
shorn of his self glory or esteem; and
not only this, bat they are very willy, and
whenever there Is the least opportunity
to enter the wedge Of discord they are
ready to grasp the chance.
And now l come to the point wish TO
call your attention to In particular, which
is nothing more than plan they have
been concoctlng for the past year, and
which they successfully carried into ef-
feet at the indianapolis meeting, and
which our representatives. allowed them
selves to be befuddled into voting for,
but have continued to carry out accord
ing to their (the enemy's) plans.

/ notice some agitation on the all-im-
poEtant subject Of platform for our
party in the coming campaign. This ID
proper. Let us unite upon an idea first
and express the idea in words afterwaEd.
The idea is that labor should be placed
on an equality with capital before the
law. All the entaDgllng side issues Of
"mOre money" sub treasury schemes,
government storage, and the transporta4
tIOn business are but the tares sown In
our wheat by our enemies. Pull them

My platform is In two words--LGb0r
Who can object TO that

We can meet their objections at the polls.

THE GIRLS POLY.
A Successful Working Woman's Club in
 the British Capital.

A Successful Working Woman's Club in
 the British Capital
 Perhaps the most complete and prac- tically successful working girls club that has yet been organized, says Scrib- ner's Magazine, is one that has been provided through the generosity of a good man and his devoted wife. It is in London, at the West End, in Langham place, just beyond Regents treet, adjoin- ing the well-known Langham hotel. Itis commonly known as the ''Girls' Poly," to distinguish it from an institution with which it is closely allied, the Young Mems Polytechnic institute, which is universally known among young peo- pie in London as the Poly" The more precise name of the club in ques- tion is the Young Women's institute. The fees for institute membership are very smaE-eighteen pence per quarter or five shillings (S1.25) per year. The establishment is open in all its parts for the benefit of the members from 6:3O to 10 o'clock in the evenings. The mem bership fee gives free use of sitting rooms, library, reading and music rooms, game-roon1s, recreation grounds and numerous other advantages, and also entities the fortunate young wom- en to admission at low tuition rates to an immense range of classes and enter tainments. The purely club features of the place are highly prized by the girls. It is no small thing for them to have bright, cheerful establishment that they regard as their own, where they may resort in the evenings, and in connection with which they have access to so much that is diverting and in- structive. It is needless to emphasize the importance of such privilege to anyone who knows how the average young workingmen and women of our great cities are obliged to live. In the refreshment rooms the member may procure her cup of tea and light lunch, at cost decidedly less than elsewhere, and for year or more past there has been served in the capacious dining room an excellent and substantial din- ner, in courses, at sixpence. For four pence a very good but less bountiful dinner may be had by the more eco nomical young women of business. These privileges are, of course, limited to members. The institute dining rooms are vastly more pleasant than the cheap restaurants or lunch-rooms to which the girls might otherwise be compelled to resort, and the food at the institute is incomparably better in quality and cheaper in price. All the influences of the place are homelike, wholesome and improving. There seems to be a tacit understanding among the young women who meet in these agreeable quarters that they must be on their best behavior-must Hive up to their blue china" so to speak.

His Free and Easy Way, But He Can't Be FOoIed-His Sang Froid.
 What the average American abroad is most conspicuous for is the commission of small sins. Instead of wondering that the English criticise us, we ought to wonder rather that their hospitality was not exhausted long ago; for really the behavior of some of our people abroad would try the patience of the angels in the seventh heaven. Never by any chance do they seem to do the right thing except in the wrong way; and one's head spins in ransacking the code to discover what is the spring of their action. The free-and-easy, go-as- you-please, mebbe-we-will way in which they accept an invitation to din- ner-that sacred function-is appalling.
 They utterly disregard the fact that time, money, pains, courtesy and brains have been expended to give them de- lightful dinner (and I never ate poor one in all my English experience), and arrive too early or too late or not at all, as it suits them, upsetting the hosts arrangements, the hostess temper and making of themselves table talk for nine days after.
 A leading London merchant once said to me: "An American lady will come here to buy, and nothing but the very best will satisfy her. real velvet, real lace, real silk, perfect fit and exclusive style; no cotton mixtures no sham skirts, only noble material from start to finish. An English lady will come in and whatever else, the thing she buys must be the lowest for credit or cash. l remember the time when an English lady would bring carriageful of money to buy handful of lace; now she brings handful of money to buy carriageful of lace, and is perfectly con- tented to dress herself in any wretched imitation. English women all buy this stuff' (the speaker contemptuously in- dicated some horrid ''coffee lacey; Eve can't sell that rubbish to an American, she would not touch it with her parasol. Indeed, in one part in Spain the lace trade has died, owing to the degenera- tion in taste of English women who once supported this fabric"
 The American cannot pour tea and cream and sugar to perfection, says the Jewish Messenger, and he may err in fifty details, but when the situation arrives that calls for the very genius of good breeding, the American shines; then to the rescue of some awful em- barrassment or fasco he comes with his kindness of heart, and love, the true revealer in flash of light inspires him to the action or the word that gives him rank with Bayard and Saint Francois de Sales.
