Two fair -haird urchins of six or thereabouts
were seated in an elevated train one day last
week. A ntylishly-dressed young lady sat in
the opposite seat. Turning to one of the

"Hsrold, num-" he replied.
"And yours, DEAR" she asked, addressing the
other.
"Oh. my names Godfrey" said the little
fellow, with some show Of pride.

JAS. BooTH, Stanton, Mass, has suggested
that in printing the ballots under the Aus

the candidates of each party. This would
enable those who cannot read, or old men
who may have forgotten to bring their
spectacles to the polls, to distinguish the
names they wish to vote. The idea is worth
considering.

For THE Observation-Disclosures
Camping Out and Camping In.

The question of our summer outing
came up again and il was high time to
decide as the rainy reason was close at
hand.
On this account camping out-which
we always prefer to boarding-was con-
sidered doubtful procedure. Thus our
original programme was not carried olt.
After mature deliberation, for the
twentieth time, there were found sew
eral excellent reasons. each one all
sufficient, why it would hot be wise to
leave home just at present.
Rest and change seemed to be needed,
the former for the men Of the house, the
latter for its mistress. AS for the rec
reations to be found in ether quarters,
they are subservient to these usually
and people of resource can always fad

long as books are to be had.

to what little originality it possesses,
but it seems to be the right thing in the
right place. If we can't camp out, said

home; make every possible chenge in

POpulists And Silver Men Will Continue

WASHINGTON, November 6.--The adj

Of congress and the developments imme-
distely following il have only served to
Rccentuste the conclusion that the inan-
cial question, instead Of. being solved, is
merely in the incipiency of its discus.

Silver senators contend that the sue
cess Of the financial doctrines for which
they labor can only be achieved by
general awakening of the masses to the
gravity Of the situation. Public interest
in the question has, they say, been lnten-
si6ed by the long struggle which took
place in the two houses Of congress.
When the house and senate. ..reconvenes
in Dscember in regular session, it is the
plan Of the silver men to keep the fnRn-
cial question well TO- ths front at every
stage Of the session, and it will be found
playing part in the discussion Of every
great issue between parties, from the
tariff question to the repeal Of the fed
eral elections law.
Now that the silver purchase law is re-
pesled, the president is to be cslledupon
to show his feslty to the spirit Of the last
democratic platform by favoring finsn-
cial Legislation looking to the restoration
Of silver to it's oId-time realm. The prop

tion that comes before the next congress
for solution will And opposed to its con-
sideration band of silver men who will
combat the adjustment Of any and all
grievances until the cause OF silver re-
ceives the attention Of the Fifty-third
congress.
Indeed, the ultimate policy may be
that silver men may assume the role Of
organized obstruCtionlsts in the attempt
to force from the American congress 3
full consideration for silver.
Both parties are fully aware of this
possibility, and both parties are viewing
with increased anxiety the successive
moves Of those senators and representa-
tives who, as Populists, republicans or
democrats have all banded together in a
great struggle for free coinage or in
creased volume Of currency.
The Populist members Of congress, in
cluding senators and members Of the
house, have issued an address appealing
to the people to take up the silver cause.
