CONGRESS IN SEPTEMBER.
The President VIII Call Extra Session
at that Time.

Inc HreSfdent VIII tau an ExIra session
at that Time.
The President said the other evening, in
reply to a reporter, that he intended to call an
extra session of Congress not earlier than the
1st nor later than the 18th of September, unless
unex pected contingencies should necessitate an
earlier meeting The President further said:
While there has been no mystery nor
secrecy in regard to my intention in this mat
ter, think it not amiss that our people should
be informed authoritatively that the time is at
hand when their representatives IN Congress
will be called upon to deal with financial
condition which is the only menace to the
country's welfare aud prosperity.
50 1t is well for the people to take up the sub
ject for themselves aud arrive at their own
conclusions as to the merits of financial policy
which obliges US to purchase idle silver bull
lion with gold taken from our reserve. One
does not need the eye of inancier to sec that
this gold thus subtracted from the Govern
ment's stock is eagerly seized by other nations
for the purpose of strengthening their credit at
our expense.
at does not need the art of craftsmanship to
detect the danger that awaits upon the continu-
apce of this operation. Already the timidity of
capital is painfully apparent, and none of us
can fail TO see that fear aud apprehension in
monetary matters will ultimately bring suffer
ing to every humble home in our land.
II think that between now aud the meeting
Of Congress much depends upon the action of
those engaged in financial operations and bust
ness enterprises. Our vast National resources and
credit are abundanty sufficient to Justify them
i'm the utmost faith and confidence. II instead
of being frightened they conservative, and
If instead Of gloomily anticipating immediate
disaster they contribute their share of hope and
steadiness. they will perform patriotic duty
and at the same time protect their own inter
ests. The things just now needed are GOODNESS
and calmness in financial circles and study and
reflection among our people,"

To Preserve

The richness, color, and beauty of the
hair, the greatest care is necessary,
much harm being done by the use of
worthless dressings. To be sure of hav-

gist or perfumer for Ayers Hair Vigor.
1t is absolutely superior to any other
preparation of the kind. 1t restores the
original color and fullness to hair which
has become thin, faded, or gray. It
keeps the scalp cool, moist, and free
from dandruff. 1t heals itching humors,
prevents badness, and imparts to

Johnson also had pew there. The pew occu-

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS,

Secretary H0ke Smith has received from In
spector Faison report of his investigation Of
the recent troubles between the Jones and Locke
factions of the Choetaw Nation. 1t shows that
both parties are in a measure to blame, but,
at the same time, much of the difficulty arose
from Misunderstanding and an erroneous
conclusion Of the purposes Of each other.
z*s
There are yet many disappointed Democrats
in the city, and they roundly criticize the
sloWness and lack of interest in their cases as
displayed by every Department but one. That
one Secretary Carlisle is at the head of, and
his course in making rapid and great changes
encourages them, and they believe that the ex-
ample of the Secretary of the Treasury must in
time prove contagious in the other Departments.

To the POpuIist Women of Sumner
County.

Some weeks ago the VOICE publish
ed report of the state organization
of the WOmanS Progressive Political
League. As then stated, the object
of this organization, is to assist in
educating women in progressive poll
tics, industrial cooperation, and
social and domestic science. 1t is
distinctly a POpulist wOmens club,
taking the Omaha platform as the
present basis of political action.
The League advocates and works to
forward all the reforms of the PeO-
pies party, and especially devotes
itself to the cause of equal suffrage.
The state League is now pushing
the work of local organization and |
have been appointed to the work of
organizing Sumner county.
This movement is grand one and
offers to the women of Populist faith
an opportunity to aid in the great
work of reform which our party is
striving to accomplish. The voice
and effort of every woman, as well as
of every man, are needed in the
cause of right and justice to-day, as
never before.
Every woman in Kansas should do
something to aid in carrying the
Suffrage Amendment in 1894. 1t
would be a shame indeed, if after
over thirty years Of effort to secure
the ballot in Kansas, we should fail
when the question is at last brought
be fore the voters.
Let every woman awake to the
Importance Of equal suffrage both to
womanhOod and to the cause of
humanity.
At present we need to prove to the
men of our party that we are deeply
interested in the reforms they advO-
cate and that, if they extend the
ballot to US, we will use it vigorously
in the cause Of right. We must so
identify ourselves with the suffrage
work that our brethren will be en-
cOuraged to support the amendment,
and that women in the future will
see that they owe their emancipa-
tiOn very largely to the Peoples
party.
For these reasons | hope we shall
be able to organize at least one local
political League in each township OF
Sumner county. | invite every one
who is interested in the cause OF
suffrage and reform in general to
communicate with me at an early
date. Lei us cooperate. There are
hundreds of earnest women in our
county who would be glad to help
but feel that they are standing alone.
| shall be glad to hear even a few
words frOm all such. I wish to
secure the names and addresses OF as
many suffragists as possible and then
where there seems to be desire tC
