A PoPUIisT.


Friend. Thiak /. INMATE and see II Thi.
Bits You OF Any body You KNOW
San Jose. Call New Charter
You are a PopuIist, are you. Yes,
bet | am. Well am glad to hear IT,
What We want are men devoted to the
reform cause. What Peoples party
paper do you takef None. You see |
am very poor and. What's that pa
per you have in your pocket: Oh, that's
our county paper; you see | want the
county news and. What's its politics:
Democratic, you see. How many
subscribers have you got for Populist
papers in the past year: None.
How many Populist books have yon
bought and loaned in the past year.
Not any. Ho" many people have you
tried to convert: Not any, have to
work hard, and. How many people
have you tried To get out to Populist
meetings: Oh, | haven't time TO run
around after people, and. What have
you done TO support Populist speakers
or to encourage the movement! Well
you see-that isl have got 10 look
after my wife and children-well | am
not Interested in politics any how. Now,
my dear fellow, don't plead poverty.
There are not a dozen Populist editors
in the whole country but what make
sacrifices every day that would dis
| count your sacrifices for whole life
time. 4 man who will take an old
party paper and not take one of his
| own party has reason to blush with
| shame. The man who does nothing to
support and encourage those who are
| fighting his battles shouldn't talk about
caring for his wife and children. The
man who in these trying times for hui
manlty, sees the light clearly enough
to say "I'm Populist," and yet who is
doing nothing TO help the cause, is a
devilish sight nearer than any old
party man of whom | know anything.
The most blame-worthy man know is
neither republican or democrat, but
a Populist who lays back like baulky
| mule and lets some one else do all the
pulling. There are not fifty Populists
in California who cannot afford to
take and pay for at least one Populist
paper. There are not 800 in the state
who cannot take one good state and
POpulist paper, and pay for them.
There are not 1000 pOpulists in the state
but what can induce one old party man
or more to take POpulist paper. And
if they did do what they could do this
state would give clear majority of 20,
600 over all for the POpulists next year
Wake up and take a fall out of your
self.

How to Make Money.

The holiday season. when the purse
of the people is freely opened, and
everyone feels the general goodwill SO
universal at that time, is close at hand.
The shrewd merchant avails himself
of the opportunity to present his pat
rOns with holiday souvenir, priced
for its beauty and elegance, and which
will, if in the shape of calendar,
prove an advertisement of his business
drought the entire succeeding year,
and therefore a money maker.
The CAUCASIAN has secured the
agency of the August Cast Bank
Note and Litho. Co., of st. Louis,
which is the largest manufacturing
and importing house in the country,
and whose fine work requires no in
PRODUCTION.
The advantageous terms that we
have made enable us to offer their me-
dunn priced and fine imported de-
signs at prices which are unequalled,
and as low, if not lower, than prices
made by that celebrated firm direct.
Drop us a postal and we will give
you some suggestions that will enable
you to please your customers sure.

PUT A CHECK ON BOOMERS.

People of Birmingham, Ala, EfectuaIly
Stop the Craze.
Women of Birmingham, Ala, may
ride bicycles, but they have put away
all idea Of adopting boomers, and all
on account of clever trick resorted
to by those who oppose the fashion.
When the craze first struck the city
none but extremely young girls ap-
peared on the streets in the bifurcated
garments. 1t was whispered, however,
that the young women, and some not
so young, were hastily preparing their
new suits. Then the anti-bloomerites
played it low down. They employed
a cOal-black negress of ponderous
weight and flabby form to ride bicy-
Gle through the streets day after day.
They attired her in gorgeous costume,
consisting of flaming red waist. blue
trousers, with wide white stripe down
the sides, and bright yellow hose. Ow-
ing to her great avOirdupOis this gro
tesque figure perspires at every pore
as she wheels along the street. but she
was we'll paid for her labor, and the
blOOmer craze has been killed forever
in Birmingham.

Walter Besant.
From the masculine point of view
one would beg young women to con-
slider the following axioms:
l. A girl cannot expect a man to be
made on purpose for her.
2. A girl who cherishes an ideal man
that is half woman courts certain
unhappiness.
3. Every feminine gift has its mas
culine counterpart, and they are never
the same. Therefore, girl should look
for unlikeness, not likeness.
4. The Friendship of chums" can
never be arrived at by the man trying
to become woman or by woman
trying to become a man.
8. The happiest marriages are those
which develop and intensity the men,
tai distinctions due to sex-nOt deface
them.
6. In love and in marriage it is the
ideal which awakens and which pre-
serves affection.
Z. Every girl should therefore find
out what is the ideal wife as commonly
accepted by men of worth and should
aim at that ideal.
3. A wife's duties depend largely on
the income. If q girl marries on a
small income she must not mind hav-
ing to do some of the household work.
8. In essentials, though, the new
women" may be more literary and more
artistic than her mother; she can Ger
tainly do no better for the good of her
self and the general happiness of the
world than follow in the footsteps of
the Old-Or fOrmer-wOman.
These excellent maximS are suggested
as aid to young ladies in the formation
offs ideal husband and in the endeavor
to live up to that semi-divine creation.

TO A SOUTHERN GIRL

Her eyes
Would match the Southern skies
When Southern skies were bluest
Her heart
will always take it's part
Where Southern hearts are truest
Bright pearls
The gems Of Southern girls,
Her winning smile discloses;
Her cheeks
When admiration speaks.
Were only Southern roses;
Her voice
BY nature and by choice,
Fen those who know her slightest
will find
As soft as Southern wind
When Southern winds are lightest
Her laugh
As light as wine or chaf,
Breaks clear at witty sallies,
AS brooks
Run babbling through the hooks
OF all her Southern valleys.
Such youth,
With all its charms, fOrsOOth-
Alas, too well know it,
will claim
A song of love and fame
Sung by some Southern poet;
But she
In future years may be
These verses may discover,
Some time
May read this little rhyme
Sung by Northern lover.

Here's Your Democratic Free Silver Plan

Here's Your Democratic Free Silver Plan,
Charlotte Observer
That is noble idea which Mr.. John
ID. Bellamy, Jr., of Wilmington, late
candidate for the Democratic nOmina-
ton for Congress in this district, has
conceived, as reported in our Raleigh
correspondence yesterday. The sound
money men, be says, ought to get out
OF the Democratic party; they have no
business in it. We can assure Mr.. Bel
lamy that whenever the national
Democratic party declares for cheap
money, or even squints at it-a thing
1t has never yet done-they will flock
out of it as fast as his heart could wish.
Meantime they would have it under
stood that they are strictly in their
fathers house and are not going out on
the order of Mr.. Bellamy or Mr.. Any
body Else. The free silver tail wag-
ging the sound money dog would be a
spectacle for gods and men.
And so, while the State Democratic
platform declares for free silver, the
leading Democratic paper of the State
| says when the Democrats declare for
cheap money (silver) the sound money
lgoldbngs) will get away from them.
Yet that paper stays right with that
gang. Why doesn't he take Mr.. Bel
lamy's advice and get out? Remember

DESCRIPTION OF 1883.

The pattern shown here is especially
liked for very thin materials, for wash
goods or light weight silks. 1t also
develops well in the light weight Gre
pOns, and may be made without the
box-pleat in front.
A charming evening dress OF pink
taifetas with black stripe was trim
med with black satin ribbons run
through creamy lattice work of ba-
tiste, rs shown in the illustration. The
waist had black chiffon bodice, with
short pulled sleeves of the silk. Three
strips of the batiste, with black satin
ribbon run through them, formed bret
telle trimming on both back and front
Of the waist.
A blue dotted null dress had rufiie
Of narrow Valencienncs lace on the
edges of the double bOx-pleat. The
waist was made with a blouse front,
which was also made with double
box-pleat edged with lace. The short,
pulled sleeves had four rows of lace
from shoulder to the elbow.
The pattern is also suitable for extra
skirts, with or without the bOx-pleat.
IL is cut in sizes 20, %, "a, rs, 2S, 30 and
~ inches waist measure, and medium
size requires 8 yards of 42-inch goods.

THREE OF A KIND.

This one issued by an agent of London cap
italists to the New York capitalists i'll 1862.
The Hazard Circular.
Slavery is likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery de-
strOyed. This, l and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery is
but the owning of labor and carries
with it the care of the laborer, while
the European plan, led on by England,
is for capital to control labor by con-
trolling the wages. This can be done By
controlling the money! The great debt
that capitalists will see to it is made
out of the war must be used as means
to control the volume of money to &C
cOmplish this the bonds must be used
as banking basis. We are now wait
ing FOR the secretary of the treasury to
make the recommendation to Congress.
1t will not do to allow the greenback
as it is called, to circulate as money
any length of time, as we cannot con-
troll that.

tinue the work indefinitely. For fear
mistake would be made, young Dem
Ocrats stood near the polls with polling
lists and the heller would approach
with his man; be given a name and
vote him. The gang of twenty-one-
year-Old negroes, instead of leaving
the polls would squat around and wait
for the squad to be moved to the next
ward. Electric cars were used to trans
port heelers and their men from ward

bring word that so and so must report

The Buell. Letter.
DEAR SIR: 1t is advisable to do all
in your power to sustain such promi-
nent daily and weekly newspapers,
especially the agricultural and reli-
gious press, as will oppose the issuing
of greenback paper money, and that
you also withhold patronage of favors
from all applicants who are not will
ing to oppose the government issue OF
money. Let the government issue the
coin and the banks the paper money
of the country, for then we can better
protect each other. TO repeal the law
creating national bank notes, or to re-
store to circulation the government
issue of money will be to provide the
people with money, and will therefor.
seriously affect your individual profit
as bankers and lenders. See your
congressman at once, and engage him
to support our interests that we may
control legislation.

The Panic LETTER.

The Panic Letter.
DEAR SIR: The interests of National
bankers require immediate financial
legislation by Congress. Silver, silver
certificates and treasury notes must be
retired and the National bank notes
upon gold basis made the only money
This will require the authorization OF
from $5O0,O00,OOO to $1,OOO,OOO,OOO OF
new bonds as basis of circulation
You will at once retire one-third OF
your circulation and call in one-hall
OF your, loans. Be careful to make Il
money stringency felt among your
patrons, especially among Influential
business men. Advocate an extra ses-
sion Of Congress for the repeal of the
purchase clause Of the Sherman Law,
and act with the other banks of your
city in securing a large petition to
Congress for its unconditional repeal
per accompanying form. Use personal
influence with congressman and par
tlcularly let your wishes be known t,
your senator. The future life of ma.
tiOnal banks as fixed and safe invest
m"nts depends upon immediate action
as there is an increasing sentiment in
favor OF government legal tender notes
and silver, coinage.
