THE SUMMER CAPES.
They Are Warm and Costly, but We Must
Have Them.

They Are Warm and Costly, but We Must
Have Them.
We fancied that the possibilities in capes had
been exhausted after the spring garments were
displayed last February. But the summer girl,
who appears in New York with the blue birds
and leaf buds in the park, has brought from
that mysterious country OF hers new Develop
ments in furbelows and fancies
The capes imported by her are Of novelty
cloth. satin and net. trimmed with inexplicable
things in laces, gimps, rassementeries, ruchings
and jet. The color in cloth is dark blue or
ecru, smothered under ruffie after ruffle Of vel
vet or lace, Or best of all, satin ribbon. The
latter is black. for black must be much In evil
dence upon the most fashionable capes. Lace
and velvet may be shades contrasting with the
cloth.

A DELICATE OPERATION.
The Skin OF Frogs Grated on . Human
Body.

Thomas Clark, the man on whom the skim
grating operation is being performed at the
south Side Hospital. says the Pit.sburg Com
,nerciGl Gdzetis, hsc 20 unGefso another
operation yesterday. when the white skin from
thirty-two frogs was grated on his body. Last
night the hospital attendants reported Clark
TO b resting comfortably. with every hope OF
ultimate recovery
The part o: Clark's body where the skin was
burned of is about lsx20 inches. and il IL
thought that BY yesterdays operation enough
akin was grated to make up for that which
was missing. The first grating on Clark was
tried with chicken skin, but it was found but
little of this would take effect and frog ska
Was resorted to.
The grating Of frog flesh onto human body
b not = new experiment. but this operation is
one OF the largest ever attempted. andits success
or failure will be looked forward to by medica

Oklahoma Correspondence,

THE following letter should have been

some thoughts that viii be valuable at this
time.-EDIToR.
EDITOR ADvooATE:--After a months
sojourn in Oklahoma, l feel constrained
to record a few of the impressions re-
ceived for the perusal Of your subsorib-
ers. A very large majority OF the people
I meet here are from Kansas and Ne
braska, while few hail from each Of the
other states of the union. Push, energy
and enterprise are the natural resultsnts
Of such q population, and there seems to
be no drones in this new industrial hive.
Four years ago this country was
opened for settlement, and ride through
the country contiguous to this place re-
veals the most marvellous development
ever made during so brief period.
Every quarter section of land is occu-
pied and constitutes q home for loving
and happy family. The mortgage tiend
has not vet appeared to absorb their
produce by day and haunt their dreams
by night with the terrors OF foreclosure
proceedings and eviction. Strange as 1t
may appear to those Kansas patriots ~
who thought the Alliance would ruin
Kansas by weakening its credit and driv-

Of usurpstionH Is 1t any less usurps-
tion for the courts to review the action
Of the legislature, and set IL aside on
wirs-drsWn technicslities spun from
their own ingenious brsinsF And where
is the warrant for anything Of the kind
in the text OF the constitution? Will
some one point 1t outH
But it will be said, the ultimate power
to decide what is right and what is
wrong must rest somewhere. True. But
where can such a terrible and supreme
power be most safely lodgsdH With a
few lawyers, or with the whole people?
II mistakes are to occur, In whose inter-
est should they be msde-in the interest
Of the many or the interest Of the few,
Of the multitude or the individual, Of
the voters or the money pOwerP
! tell you, friends, one Of the greatest
dangers threatening our liberties Is the
usurpstion Of all power by the courts.
They can call upon the army and navy
to enforce their decrees, and sweep all
opposition from the face of the earth.
And in seven cases out OF ten they are
the mere creatures and instruments of
plNtocraoy, by whom they were elevated
to their thrones. Watch the courts,
brethren, IL you would preserve free in
stitutions.-I. D., In the Representative,

coined after 1884 were not money until they
were authorized by law, and had they been
coined before, without a law fixing their
legal value, they could no more have paid q
debt than unOOined bullion or cotton OF
wheat"
Now, in the face Of the decision Of the
supreme court, shat IL the power to de-
clare what is money is not in congress it
is snnihilated," l find in "ManuaI of
the ConstitutiOn-Israel Ward Andrews,
D. d., IL, D." this statement: ''The
government, however, does not profess
to have this power Of making something
out Of nothing. Congress and the presi-
dent know that these notes are simple
evidences Of debt due by the United
States to the holders Of them. II is like
promissory note given by a private
citizen, or a note issued by bank"
The act Of February 25, 1862, declare
the notes authorized a legal tender law
full money. No promise to pay any other
kind Of money in redemption of said
notes, as they were declared lawful
money; and the supreme court says con-
gress alone had the right to declare what
is money 1t is true, however, as Sena-
tor Plumb so often stated in his grand
speeches in defense Of the greenbaek,
that the law fell into the hands Of q
hostile secretary Of treasury, and by the
authority he was given to fix the form Of
the notes, they were printed as promises
to pay. This only proves the truth Of
Senator Plumbs assertion that the En-
glish and Jew gold gamblers controlled
every secretary Of the treasury since the
were issued.
Now, is It not time such infamous
British gold bug nonsense was bsnished
from our schoolsP And as our party
has the appointment Of the regents for
the State Normal, let them see that this
manual and any and all other books of
like treasonBble nature are prohibited in
the State Normal, and such Of the fac
ulty as agree with this gold bug heresy
be displaced and their places filed by
more patriotic and loyal persons. hope
every reform paper in the state and
every county convention Of the Peoples
party this fall will join in the demand
that the regents attend to this matter at
once and put a stop to the villsinous
scheme of the gold bugs to further their
design Of enslsving America through a.
gold basis humbug. Do not forget, gen.
tlemen, that you are expected to assist in
securing reform, and this is one of the
necessary means. j. A. M.

Greenbaoks VS.. Bonds.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-Now that our
tresoherous British gold bug financial
system has brought us to the verge Of
financial collapse, Notwithstanding we
have been favored by Providence with
abundant hsrvests and freedom from
war or pestilence for quarter Of GEN.
tury, it would appear q most fitting
time for patriotic people, Of whatever po-
litioal party, to unite in an earnest, en-
phstiC demand for the issue Of full legal
tender lawful money in sufficient amount
TO rescue the debtor classes from the
clutches Of ShYlOck. II the people
tamely submit to the gold bug scheme Of
issuing bonds to buy gold, ,theydeserve the
fate certain to OVertske them-perpetusl
bondage to the holders Of gold. Iwould
earnestly urge the ADVOCATE to use it's
great influence in favor OF greenbacks by
securing the hearty cooperation Of the
reform press Of the United States in an
appeal to congress to refuse to issue
another bond under any pretext what
ever, but instead, to authorize the issue
Of full legal tender sufficient to enable
the business Of the country to be done
on q cash basis. Let the issue be q
square fight between greenbacks and
bonds, and when 96 rolls around, / be-
lieve our party will win. Can you not
lead the forces Of industry against the
forces Of Shylock by showing that this is
their only hope Of escape from perpetual
bondsgeP
The gold basis vampires leave no
means Of discrediting legal tender
United States money aside from gold,
going 60 far as TO have our normal school
books filed with their reasonable and
unpatriotic contempt for the decisions
Of the United States supreme court de-
clAring congress the sole and only power
authorized to issue money and deter
mine the material of which it shall be
composed. quote from Brice's "Finan-
CiRl CRtechism:"

Pages 648 and $40 IL says: NO one ever

ing out eastern capital, during the very
period Of their unwonted anxiety Okla
homs has been crowding to the front
without the aid Of either credit or east
ern capital. Dug-outs and shacks have
been supplanted by commodious frame
and brick houses; pastures have been
stocked, orchards grown, cities built,
and railroads constructed without bonds
or mortgages. This people are therefore
not oppressed with unjust local taxation
or usurious interest. The farmers Of
Oklahoma are breathing the atmosphere
Of genuine freedom. A productive soil
has rewarded their industry and sup
piled the capital required to make the
substantial Improvements we see In
every direction. / can but ponder in
my own mind the question; Will these
fortunate people be wise enough to re-
sist the Establishments Of the sleek,
smooth-tongued solicitor of farm loans
and hold their homesteads free as q
sacred heritage for their children? or
will they be induced to accept the dis
interested assistance Of eastern capital
and eventually lose all?
Wheat harvest is now in full swing,
and most estimates place the yield at
frcm twenty-five to forty bushels per
acre, with prices weak at 45 cents per
bushel
Large numbers Of anxious homeseekers
are gathering here on the borders of the
famous Cherokee strip, that is expected
to open for settlement about Septem-
Der 10. Many of these people have been
waiting patiently for the past two years,
and have no notion of retreating, but are
resolved to enter the promised land or
die in waiting.
l do not hear political topics discussed
very much, but am informed that it is
q triangular fight, with the chances
about even between the three great par
ties to the contest. Republicans and
democrats are getting so badly mixed on
the financial question that it is difficult
to distinguish which from tother or
'tother from which. John Sherman and
Grover Cleveland will have hard time
separating the orthodox psrtissns from
the financial heretlcs, and when they &C
complish the job their respective Aocks
will be 80 small that all can take shelter
under q single gold dollar. Then the
hsretical hosts Of plain people will assail
that diminutive shelter and expose these
hypocriticsl statesman to the wrath OF
an outraged people. ]. R. DETwILER.
