Gray dawn peeps In and sweetly smiles;
A light breeze, sweeping down the stream.
Lifts high the fog In snC Wy plies;
The suns ilrst burning lanees CLEAN
Along the pcbbed river banks,
And misty hosts In mad retreat
Withdraw their broken, scattered ranks.
The bold sun marks their sud defeat
And dsslpatcs their struggling tanks.
Gray dawn gives place TO ruddy day;
The great sun swings through azure skies,
And sklmmIng, where the ripples play,
Tho screaming ilshhawks fall and rise.

And morning song birds, fur and near,

The WOman's Progressive Political League.
Various subjects Of interest were dis
cussed by the women at the regular

gressiVe Political league on Wednesday,

tion was unanimously adopted:
WHERHAs, The first great national Oonven.
ton Of the Peoples party did, in it's wis
dom, institute the 80. called Omaha ordi-
nance; and
WHEREAS, The Womsn's Progressive Po-
liticsl league, Of Topeka, believe this pro-

decline in wheat and silver, makes the
following statement:
In this connection there has been much
controversy over the cause Of the continued
depression in wheat the world over; and the
simultaneous break in the price of silver TO
q lower record Slso, the latter as cause and
the former 90 effect. Early in the month
the United States wes getting in London 73
cents gold for it's No. 2 red winter wheat;
Russia, India, Argentine, aud all other
wheat exporting countries were getting for
an inferior wheat 81 or TO $1.10 in silver at
the then prices of silver and foreign ex-
change between London and the several
countries from which she was importing
wheat, all Of which are on a silver currency
basis, except this country. The above prices
in silver for wheat were practically the same
az the silver countries were getting ten
years ago, or before the great depression in
the prices of wheat in this country and Eu-
rope had set in. Yet the purchasing power
of silver in these silver wheat raising coun-
tries, with few and temporary exceptions,
has been but little changed
Hence, the Russian, India and Argentine
farmer is getting about old prices for his
wheat, owing TO the decline in silver, caused
largely by overproduCtion in this country,
while the American farmer is getting only
about two-thirds the price of ten years ago.
The consequence is that wheat pays as we'll
as formerly, in the silver countries, with
their improved and increased means Of
transportation by rail, with their interior
boundless wheat areas; and they are all
constantly increasing their production,
while the gold countries of Europe and the
United States are being driven out of wheat
culture because they cannot compete with
these silver countries as long as wheat, or
silver, or both, are 30 low as now. Il is suse-
less TO deny that our agricultural GLASSES are
getting poorer and poorer each year, ex-
Oepting whom other countries have short
Cropsi or that our former supremacy in the
wheat markets of the world he's been lost
for some cause or causes, and that the silver
wheat exporting countries have taken it
away from us, as we are the only whest-ex-
porting country of the world that is on q
gold basis.

stated by Senator Stewart in the senate
of the United States. Here. it is, let all
read it, and then inquire Of any ordinary
lunatic-if he don't know himself-what
caused the present panic: "We have q

in effect, compsls the government to
borrow money, pay interest on it. and

cepting the nomination for governor on
the republican ticket. / told q friend,
here is a nice, good, young republican
who has become Disguised with the
ways Of the republican party.
Among other good things you say: 81
am tired of seeing this great Office
kicked like a football over the prsiries
of Kansas. / am disgusted with the
dispensing Of its perquisites in ad-
vance and as means Of their attain
ment. From oil these things our party
has suffered sorely in the past"
Now, Brother Hoch, these and worse
doings are just what has driven thou
sands Of us from the republican party,
and if you think seriously on that sub
iect, you will conclude that you will do
more good by helping new party along
(for God knows it is hard enough to keep
even a new party pure) than by under
taking the impossible task Of purifying
an old seething, fostering mass Of cor
ruption like the republican party.
Brother Horh, you see the stream of
corruption as it flows dark and turbid
with all manner of tricks, fslsehoods,
deceptions and crimes. You are willing
to grasp the flag Of purity, and lead an
army on to reform, but your vision is
short; you seem to see only what is d.
reOtly before your eyes; you do not look
to the source from whence the foul
stream started. Allow me to turn your
attention in that direction.
When the patriotic citizens Of this
country were giving wealth, health and
life, to save this nation from disruption,
this foul stream of corruption reached
Washington, and our lawmakers gave
US q financial system that continually
makes paupers and millionsires; they
also gave us a so-called protective sys-
tenn that protects the rich by taking
from the poor; they gave hundreds Of
millions in land and money to railroad
corporations besides the privilege to
charge all the traffic can bear. Govern
ment became a means to rob the many
to enrich the few. From these things
the corruption spread. When corpora
tions and individuals can make millions
through and by special Legislation, then
public officers, as their agents, want
share of the plumber.
After they have a taste once they
want to hang on to the office; others
would like to displace them, and get
chance themselves, therefore all means
are used to keep, or get Office. After
corruption of national politics follows the
corruption of state, county and munich
pal politics, and the publication Of poll
tics becomes an 'iridescent dream"
Any party that is instrumental in pass
ing or defending unjust laws, will from
that time on, be controlled by corrupt
means and methods.
Brother Hoch, take an older mans sd-
vice; if you are really in earnest about
working for the puri6cation Of politics,
leave the old party, if you stay they will
sit down on you 80 heavy that you may
not be able to recover again.
We give q very cordial invitation to
all real reformers. We started out with
honest heart and pure desires.
We want and sorely need all the help
We can get to accomplish our objects,

REMOVING THE MASK.

The Labor Commissions investigation
proves conclusively that Whatever de-
preston may have occurred In the BUSH
ness of the Pullman Car Company was
made up by the unequal cutting OF the
wages of the workmen. The corporation
may have found contracts unremunera-
tive. but II took good care that the losses
should fall mainly on its employees and
not on Its stockholders.
The claims 30 impudently put forth
that the corporation was great philan-
throplc institution, that conferred bene-
fits and blessings on all fortunate enough
to work for 1t, is disproved by the testi-
mony of the officers of the Company
themselves. and the exposures made by
"The Worlds special correspondents
are shown TO have been In strict accord
ance with the truth. 1t Is not clear what
actual good will result from the investi-
CATION, but at least 1t will strip the mask
OF benevolence from grasping, selfish
concern. and will justify the public sem
timent so strongly sympathetic with the
Pullman employees.

A REVIVAL OF BUSINESS I

The first NY of the new Tariff law
witnessed what has for some time been
an unusual scene at the Custom House
There was a rush of business. and the
deputy In charge of Withdrawals and
bonded warehouse goods was kept busy
with an extra large force Of assistants
from the opening till the close of the
office. There were five thousand with
drawals of various classes of goods
while under the Mckinley law the
Withdrawals were from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred a day.
This increased activity is regarded
as a certain indication of a general re.
vival OF trade, and proves that the prin.
cipal cause of the stagnation has been
the uncertainty that prevailed In regard
to the tariff question. The fact Is most
damaging to those who so long de.
layed action on the Tariff bill and sac
rificed the interests of the country Il
their own selfish and often corrupt OBJ
jects,

CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Yesterday witnessed the adjournment
Of the second session OF the Fif,y-thlrd
Congress, and the closing scenes were
such as might have been expected from
the character of the session. The Sen
ators and Representatives, who for
months have shown themselves so In
different to the public interests and so
neglectful OF their duties, made "a con-
sistent ending by rushing away from
Washington without waiting for the
formal adjournment, and in neither
house was there anything like a quo
rum. But the outside attendance was
large, and there was no attempt to dis
guise the satisfaction felt by the people
that the burlesque on legislation was
over, at least for time.
The record OF the session IL by no
means satisfactory. With large ma
iority in the House. and the Republican
ascendancy overthrow in the Senate,
the session opened with bright hopes for
the Democratic party. and with Hat
tering prospect that the days of heavy
taxation. OF favored interests, OF the
corrupt influence of Trusts and corpora
lions over legislation, were at an end.
These expectations have been disappoint-
ed. Some progress has been made In the
cause of reform, It Is true. But Dem
ocratic incapacity has enabled the Re
publican minority to block its way, and
Democratic treachery has compelled the
party to violate many of the pledges 1t
made TO the people before election.
Worse than all, the high character
heretofore borne by the Senate has been
destroyed by transactions that would
disgrace New York Board of Aldermen,
and public men supposed to be honorable
and honest have shown themselves ca
pabe of selling themselves for a price.
The sugar scandal In the Senate of the
Fifty-third Congress will rank In history
with the salary grab the Tweed ring and
the Doodle Aldermen. The session closed
yesterday leaves behind It an offensive

thus describes her ideal man: "He
whose purpose Is the improvement and
advancement Of mankind--who forget
full, though not neglectful of self, and

confident, for that end. He recognizes
In woman his co-worker and equal, ac-
cords to her all the rights which should
be hers, and giving her due credit for all
she 10 and may become, seeks to aid in
broadening her sphere of usefulness un-
til she shall attain to her highest pos
sibilities, which he does not attempt to
limit, knowing that through her, as
mother and teacher, the advancement of
the race must come. He acknowledges
the right Of all Gods creatures to the
humane consideration of man, is no
slave to party or sect, but divining to-
wards what end his efforts tend, unhes-

and walks, without fear of criticism or
opposition, the way in which his con.
