ADJUSTMENTS,

Academy of Music.-The performance of
Romeo and, Juliet by the Hinrichs Com
pany last night was both dramatically and
unsteady an artistic success, the audience
being appreciative and seeming to enter
into the spirit of the lofty themes which
characterize the musical setting to this
romance. Sig. Michelena sang the part of
Romeo, and, with Miss Myrta French, who
was the Juliet, made a pair that fairly cap
tured the audience. He acted the part to
perfection and sang in excellent voice
Miss French's fresh, sympathetic voice
seemed suited to the character which she
impersonated and her work was finished
throughout. Sig. Niviani as Frere Laurent
and Miss Synneberg as the nurse with
Romeo and Juliet, won curtain call after
the marriage ceremony. Charles Storey.
sang the part of Tybolt very acceptably.
The company sang in English and sue
ceeded admirably in their attempts to make

made to the widespread distinctions Of
agricultural interests there and of the
sins of landholders. None whatever, to
the forcible declarations of Sir Evelyn
Hubbard, at recent meeting in London
that "the gold standard is not only pro-

tive"
Let us teach them lesson to be re-
membered. The truth is of more i'm
portance to the people than daily news
paper of the scandals of European high
life or the record OF the carnival of crime
daily spread before their readers, much of
which is the direct result of this insane
attempt to force the sole gold standard
upon our people after it has been con-

advocates rely now wholly upon misrep-

WHEN TO BE A DANIEL,

o, it's afe to be Daniel.
When the people art agreed
That the very thing you argued for
Is just the thing they need;
When the world is very willing,
And the bad are very good,
You may safely be Daniel
You'll be always understood.
You may dare to be a Daniel
When you've figured out the chance
When the people like the music
And will revel in the dance;
But if anybody's knees begin
10 weaken in the play,
They lay away your fiddle
Till favorable day.
You may dare to be a Daniel
When the people are so kind
That they wouldn't hurt a Daniel
Should he wish to speak his mind;
When the Daniels are so plenty
That you never would be known,
Then dare to be a Daniel, yes,
And dare to stand alone!
1t will do to be a Daniel
When the have a Daniels band"
And the street is full Of Daniels,
And they're crowding on the stand,
And the drum beats up for Daniel,
And the horns blow off your hat;
o. I'd like to be Daniel, too,
In such time as that
Then We'll all be little Daniels
When ont otherwise engaged,
When our wives have "killed .the bear,''
And the lions are all Gagged;
When the wise are all converted
And the fools have won the fight,
Then we'll be as brave as Daniel
And as vailent for the right.
Yes, Dare to be a Daniel
Is very fine to sing,
If t will only raise a regiment
OF Daniels for the King;
But I'm thinking it were better
If we'd show the people how
To sanctify the singing more
And be a Daniel now.

The President of the State Alliance
Calls Upon All Hands to Rally
for the Great Battle.
Editor Representative:

Editor Representative:
Harvest is nearly over throughout the
state. The earth has given bountiful re-
turns this year. Railroad kings meet to
arrange freight rates, taking all the traf-
fic will bear; foreign syndicates meet to
control the price if wheat and corn; mill
lers associations, composed largely of for
egn capitalists, arrange the price of -four;
barley is practically under the control of
an English syndicate; and so we might go
commercial interests and we find the same
state of affairs. Then we turn OUR eyes to
the great medium of exchange called mon
ey, and we find this same foreign fiend
controlling that; we then turn our
thoughts to that great declaration of hu-
man rights called the Declaration of indie
pendence, and we are dumb. Can it be
possible that a people living under that
Declaration of Independence can be made
the groveling serfs of that mother coun-
try against whom the patriots of 1875 re-
belled? What profit is it to us if the God
of nature gives us bountiful crops? I'm
der our present conditions it simply
means more for the greedy foreign capt.
talist to quarrel over, while we make a
hole in the ground with our stomachs in
crawling up to this foreign beast and beg
ging for an international agreement, so
that we may eat the crumbs that fall from
the foreign table.
Have you allowed your alliance to die?
If you have call your wife and children to
your side and tell them that you have no
spirit left; that you are the serf of a for
eign plutocracy; that your life and theirs
belong to the worshippers of a
golden calf; bow yourselves low down.
Take all the kicks and cuffs that your for
eign lord sees fit to give you, and never
complain, for you have made your own
bed, now lie in it. But if you have any
spirit left call your neighbors together,
talk over the situation; send in your dues
to the state alliance, and get ready for the
winter campaign, and when our state al
lance meets next winter be represented
there.
This is war to the death and must ter
inmate in either liberty or slavery. Which
shall it be?
The Alliance must do much if it is lib
erty and you are part of the Alliance.

Write them plainly and with ink.
Do not crowd the lines closely to-

BOYCOTT THEM.

HOW TO BRING HIRELING NEWSPA-
PIERS TO THEIR SENSES-SOUND AID
VICE.
Editor Representative:
In view of the subserviency of the great
newspaper press of the country to the
cause of gold monometallism, and of their
unfair treatment of the great questions
raised before the country and the world,
and of the attitude of advertisers toward
all bimetallic journals, it is about time
that the friends Of silver should apply the
remedy.
The cowardice which prompts the adver-
tiser to withhold his business from bime-
tallic journals can be sharply rebuked
and. punished, as can the outrageously
arrogant treatment of the gold bug press.
If every friend of silver restoration will
at once withdraw supportand cease to take
all journals which are guilty of such un-
fairness as to refuse to permit anything
to appear i'm their columns favorable to
bimetallism and are constantly engaged
in ridiculing all who favor it, 1 venture
to say that more than half of them would
suspend.
1t is an engine of such power in the
hands OF the social wreckerS who in some.
way control it, that it would seem to us
measure of self-defence to be justifable.
Ever since that private circular was is
sued enjOining business men and bank
ers to withdraw all support from all pa
pers, religious, agricultural and political
which opposed the gold standard, we
know the power which governs and
should in self-defense apply the boycott
= By taking those journals only which
represent our views, and for news those
which treat the great movement now go
ing on, fairly, there would soon be a
change visible to all.
A writer from Iowa in The American
Philadelphia) says that a single Repub-
lican paper in that state, and very few
Democratic papers which are outspoken
while two-thirds Of the Democratic voters
and one-third of the Republican voters
are in favor Of the restoration of silver by
coming it at Is to 1.
Let us try the action for a few months
and | venture to say that our powers will
be as manifest as it Will be when we all
vote our convictions in 1896.
1t Is useless to ignore the fact that the
main reliance of the wreckers is to keep
the people in ignorance of the magnitude
of the movement for reform, and of its
Importance to all the people, rich and
poor.
Very little is said by our great news
papers of the mighty movement going
on in England against the intrenched
