The sarstos . Exeursions.

Their increasing popularity-side trips to McGrsgor and Lake George and the trip to Saratoga suggests large ex- penditure of money. and this prevents many from enjoying the pleasures to be had at this famous resort. The lack of knowledge of how cheaply this trip can be taken is not to be wondered at, as 1t has been only in the past few seasons that 1t has been possible to visit sarato- ga at D moderate cost. The Hygela and Recreation Tourist company have run on each Monday for nearly two months an excursion of four days duration to Saratoga costing only 90. This includes railroad fare, board at good hotels or private houses. admission to all the mineral springs and parks, etc.
 Remember all who are going next Monday, August 20, should buy their tickets immediately at Messrs. Peck < Bishops. Train will leave New Haven at 0:40 .. m.
 We would also inform the readers of this paper that this company will run an excursion to the Thousand Islands on August 28.

 Ryde. Isle of Wight. Aug. le.-The third days racing ofthe Royal Vioto- ria regatta was opened this morning by the race for the Ryde Town cup. valued at f1OO. with the Visilant, San tanita and Britannia competing. The course. was from the stake boat off Ryde pier, round the Nab light ship. back and around the Spt Fork to markboat off Cowes, and thence oack to the Ryde stakeboat; twice round; total distance fifty miles. The weather was cloudy at the start and there was a light north-northwest wind. which was gradually freshen- Ing. The Santanita crossed the starting line at 10 .OO.04 holding the weather po- sltion, the Britannia following at lo:oo01 and the Vigilant to the leeward at 10:00:0S.
 In reaching the cowes markboat the Vigilant ran through the lee or the Britannia, and at the turn was 46 sec onds ahead of the Prince of Wales cut ter.
 The turn was made thus:
 Santanita. 12:So:oo Vieiiant 12:36:09 Britannia 12:36:55 The run for the Nab was begun in mist and rain. The spectators along the shore had great difficulty in dis tinguishing the yachts, and 1t was al most impossible to approximate their time.
 AS they passed the Ryde markboat at the end of the first round all three had their spinnakers out. The time was:
 satanita 1s:57:26 Vigilant 1.03:00 Britannia 1:03:15
 of the Normans Land fort the Britapnia ran under the Vigilants stepn blanketed her and passed her, leaving her 1 minute and F seconds be- hind at the Nab turn. The time of pass ing the Nab lightship was: Satanita TAI :03 Britannia 1:A:55 Vigilant 1:46:07 After the turn spinnakers were taken in and the yachts bounded away close hauled. for the Split fort.
 Jibtopsails came in during the beat for the Split fort. All three yacths made short boards on the starboard tack toward the foreland, and long legs on the port tack.
 The Satanita made the turn at the Spit fort in fine wind at 2:3215 and The Britannia rounded at 2:39:15, the Vigilant at 2:41:25.
 The weather grew steadily worse. Rain began to fall heavily and the Satanita was in a full blown squall when she rounded the Cowes stakeboat at 3:14:45.
 The time at, the Cowes turn was Satanita ~-. 3:14!45 Britannia ,f. 3:2O:2O Vigiiant Y. 3:21 40
 The Britannia and Vigilant then made a run for home in the contest for sec ond place, the Satanita, with her long lead being then a sure winner. The yachts crossed the fininsh line with the order unchanged. Time: Satanita e. 3:S6:00 Britannia S:t2:23 Vigilant 3:43:5O There was a good strong breeze throughout the race. The Britannia's 8 and Vigilants chances of winning the cup was spoiled at the start, however, by an obstinate jockeying contest which was forced upon teh Yankee sloop by the Prince of Wales cutter.

Hon. David Martins Letter.

Tt is not unreasonable to prophesy that Colonel
Blues name will not be pulled down; hence, the
logical thing for republicans to do who agree with
has clear record on the silver question. And they
are going to do it.-ED.l
Editor Atchison Champion: It Is cur
rently reported that, in a speech recently
delivered at Kansas City, Kas., the Hon.
Richard w. Blue, our republican candi-
date for congressman at large, came out
boldly in favor of the single, gold standard,
and indeed oontended that there could be
no such thing as a double standard.
In this latter statement, Mr.. Blue con-
trsdicted the history of the world from
the time of Abraham to our own, and the
annals of this country for hundred years.
The contention of Cleveland, Blue i Go.
is, that the 5000, O0O, 900 of gold coin, con-
stituting approximately the holdings of
this country being about So per capital,
or as much OF it as the people shall be
able TO retain, must constitute the sole
measure Of values of all other, property
including silver, while the declaration OF
our party is that gold and silver coin. of
which We now have about $1,000, 600, 900,
shall together constitute the measure OF
values.
The Cleveland crusade of 1898 against
silver is surely but gradually bringing
down prices and wages TO about One-half
their former rates. Men who would en-
gage in new enterprises can be assured
only of loss, while those already embarked
in business, to avoid insolvency, must cur
tail expenses in every way practicable.
The consequence is an army of millions
of unemployed people, fast being reduced
to abiect penury and want, while the re-
sistance Of other workingmen to the low
ering of wages (the inevitable logic of
single, gold standard) is now vastly adding
to the numbers of that army, so that we
seem as if on the verge of civil war.
The indebtedness of this people, in
CURED on a double standard Tor standard
more favorable to the debtor), is SO enor-
nous that all the gold coin in the country
will not pay more than one-half the annual
interest charge; yet it was the decree Of
those who had practically Cornered the
four billions of gold coin, constituting the
entire stock of the world, that the princi-
pal and interest of this vast American
debt must be paid in gold coin alone, and
Grover Cleveland and John Sherman were
the principal agents of the organized greed
of two continents in the virtual confsca-
ton of this country.
If we would save ourselves from ruin,
we must send to Congress men who will
undo the great wrong of 1898, not those
who would uphold or condOne it. Silver
must be fully restored to its place as
money metal, and silver coin made current
as standard money-money that redeems
itself, so to speak, the same as gold coin.
If Mr.. Blue can give US nothing better
on the money question than the spurious
democracy administered by Grover Cleve-
land, with the sanction of John Sherman,
then he is not entitled to republican sup
port, and his name should be hauled down
from the ticket by those having authority
in the premises. DAVID MARTIN.

bill should not be passed. The scheme
was 20 place the name Of the republican
candidate or contestant, In all eases OF
tie, in the hands of the draWee, and not In
the hat, so that the drawing would result
IN sure thing for the republicans; later,
to secure q deadlock In the house, and
submit case e the supreme court. These
delays, it was presumed, would exhaust the
time Of the session, SO that all railroad
legislation would be defeated, which they
did.
The Legislature of 1888 decided 70 sub
nit the suffrage amendment TO the people
In the election of 1894.
The republicans, in convention assem-
bled, lacked thu necessary courage to in
dorse the republican house. They also
demonstrated lack Of conscience In the
defeat of all of the prominent leaders in
the legislative war.
Their platform is mekeshift, and does
not shed g ray of light upon the issues Of
the hour. The selection of the candidates
and committeeman demonstrates that the
machine is to grind the same old grist,
and that the same old lubricating oil viii
be used to run it.
Believing that the peoples party plat
form and candidates embody most nearly
my ideas, of all the parties now in the
fields shall give them my vote and hearty
support. Yours truly, E..B. WHALE4.

advocates Of gold recommendation and in
actively mourn.
The ease with which Grover Cleveland
construed the life out of the national DEM
OcretiC platform convinced me that the
only hope for true bimeteIlism lay in the
election Of bimetalIists TO Office, and be-
fore the republican convention was held
had firmly resolved TO vote for no man for
any Legislative Office who was opposed to
the free coinage of silver.
In my opinion, John Sherman Is no
Armer advocate of gold recommendation
than Is the republican candidate for con-
gresham at large; and although he may
declare himself thousand times in favor
of bimetallism, his voice and vote, if
elected, would be given for single, gold
standard.
Bimetallism Is term of recent origin.
Webster defines bimetaIlism as the legal
lied use Of two metals In the currency of
q country at fixed relative value. Both
the definition and Derivation of the term
forbid it's use TO designate any arrange
ment whereby one metal is favored at the
expense of the other.
No man is q bimetaIIist who does not
favor the legalized use of both metals
without discrimination.
No one could claim to be q trimetallist
because he believed in the use OF copper
pennies in connection with gold and sill
yer. He is no bimetallist who opposes
the coinage of silver on equal terms with
gold.
Blue belongs to the class who assured
as that the repeal of the Sherman law
would be followed by wave of unexam-
pied prosperity. So far as have heard,
Kansas has not been drenched with it.
These men now explain that the pres

furious tariff legislation. All present
indications denote either no tariff legisla-
ton or immaterial reductions.
So long as present financial conditions
remain, prosperity will continue to be a
WiIl-o'-the -wisp.
The lack of confidence which prevents
investments is justified by the continued
falling Of prices. This depression will not
cease until the volume of currency in cir
culstion becomes adequate to the business
demands.
If all of the silver mined in the whole
world for the next 10 years should be
coined and added to the circulation of the
United States, We would not have as large
circulation, per capita, as that demanded
by the Pennsylvania republican state con-
Vention:

F. W. Fraslus' Letter.

Editor Clyde Votce:
Permit me- through your columns Il
give my reasons Why refuse to longer
affiliate with the democratic party nm
der its present leadership. Coming intC
power two years ago. it was in position
to give the country wholesome legislation
but it has violated every pledge it gave
and every promise il made in the platform
which secured for il the grand victory Of
1892.
In its platform the democratic party
Recommended the prohibitory 1G-per-cent. tai
on stets-bank issues repealed
But the democratic Congress killed. with.
out debate, bill introduced for this pur-
pose. The platform
Denounced republican protection - . maud.
But, after the jugglers in Congress COM
plete the tariff bill, it VIII require q
powerful lens TO discover where demo
cratic revenue begins or republican pro
lection ceases.
The platform demanded
The use of both gold and silver Is thsl standard
money Of the country and the coinage Of both gold
and silver without discriminating against either
metal.
Nevertheless, the democratic Congress
Disseminated, against silver by the uncon-
ditionsl repeal of the Sherman law, and
the President, by vetoing the seigniorage
bill, finally completed its overthrow.
The platform denounced
The trusts and combinations which are designed
to enable capital to than its just share
Of the joint products Of capital and labor.
And yet democratic Congress permits
the agents and representatives of trusts
TO dictate the schedules and shape tariff
legislation.
Having repudisted its platform, can
not see how the party, with its record of
broken promises, and with the Presidents
settled financial policy becoming the pol
10y of the party, can again go before the
people and expect them to believe in its
sincerity.
The utterances OF the party platforms
and the acts of the party leaders cannot
be harmonized. In fact, do not see any
reason for the continued existence of the
party under these conditions, because the
republican party has prior right to this
policy, and is better prepared TO advocate
and support it.
Mr.. Editor, there should be more patti
Otism and less partisanship in politics.

From Cheyenne County.

It is reported that Hon. t. F. gsz, u
st. Francis, has Joined the peopl Esrgy,
If the report is true, we glad ws.s1-lae
Mr.. Egan to the party of t. aeopss.-
AtsqoOd Patriot.
Mr.. Egan has been a pro- 4l Cemo-
GRAFT Three years ago he was eou-i-
nee OF that party for state senator. H
says: " 1 am with the party that is fight.Es
John Sherman and his henchmen and
Grover Cleveland and his henchmen." In
other words, he is pOpulist, and is doing
good work for the party.
Geo. Lawless, ex-county superintendent.
and for several years secretary OF the
democratic central committee, and at
present deputy county treasurer, has
enough of democracy, and will henceforth
be found in the populist ranks working
with all his might for the success OF the
party.
Chas. Gates, rustling farmer of Lawn
Ridge township. who has always voted
with the grand old party, has signed the
populist club pledge, and is now shouting
for LeWelling.
Thomas II. Williams, well do farmer
of Calhoun township, and a democrat from
infancy, says that party gave him a
"chance" to get out. and he "got." BE
is a populist "from the word GO" and
does MT care who knows it.
A. w. and John O. Kackson, of Eureka
township, father and son, heretofore demo-
Gratis, have joined the pOpulists. They
are right in the harness, and doing excel
lent work for the party.
W. Don Fowler and q. A. Rathbuns Of
Benkelman township, have left the old
parties. Mr.. Fowler was democrat and
Mr.. Rsthbun was republican. Now they
are populists, and are ready to prove it
whenever the occasion presents itself.
Another recent recruit is Ben. GallOup,
of Benkelman township. He has always
been a republican, but says he has con-
cluded that republicans are democrats, and
rice Versa, and that the populist party Is
good enough for him.
WIS. Coleman, of Lawn Ridge township,
a prominent democrat, has got his eyes
opened, and is now "stumping" the
country for the populists, He is a worker,
and is valuable addition TO our ranks.
These are only few of the many prOmi-
nent members of the two old parties who
have recently Joined our ranks, and dozens
more are coming. Whoop 'er up, boys;
we IL soon have the graveyard filed
