of the reform movement is the
absence of hard practical COM
mon business sense with many
leading men who pose as reform
ers. Take this national bank
note boycott scheme for instance.
Grand Master Sovereign got the
idea that the laboring man and
farmer ought to refuse to use the
national currency because the
National banking system isfound-
ed on a wrong principle. We
all agree that the national bank
ing system ought to be super
seeded by a better system. But
until we have that better system,
itwould be the height of folly to
refuse to use the money we have.
The national currency is. good
money although not legal tender
for private debt, because the
government guarantees them.
To ask the people to- refuse TO
use them in this time of money
famine, would be the same as to
ask starving man to abstain
from eating at all, unless he
could get choice beefsteak. The
proposition to boycott any kind
of money in these times is absurd
on the face of it, and wholly i'm
practicable in any event. Yet
some of our reform editors are
applauding this Sovereign idea.
But l venture to suggest that
not one of them, nor Sovereign
himself, dare attempt to put the
idea into practice. Let some one
offer a subscription to those edi-
tors in national bank notes and
see iftheydon't takethem mighty
quick. Or let one of the thous.
ands of men out of work, and
with suffering families be offered
work payable in national currency
and what ought he to do? Does
Sovereign and those that second
his scheme mean TO say that such
a man should refuse the work or
this ground and let his family
keep on suffering? We presume
not. Why then, is such non
sensical and futile plan Of abol
ishing the national banking sys
tenn proposed? Can any of then
tell? According to the Sover
eign philosophy man should GU

saying the. silver craze Is dying.
We do not think it is yet in the
throes of death, but by the time
the next campaign is here it will
not bea very lively corpse. The
silver question is not, nor can it
ever be, a fundamental question
in the present strength of huma-
nifty. tits not a radical question:
It is superficial. The agitation is
carried on now largely by those
who were personally interested
in the coming Of silver into mon
ey: They are paying the bills. 1t
is a matter of investmentto them.
Free silver will not have large
following in the national conven-
tions of the two old parties. It
will not be so enthusiastically re-
ceived by the Populists, and the
Prohibitionists will not. make it
cardinal in their platform. When
we speak o. the money question
a large and very vital question
is, suggested: We look upon the
money as one Of the very first
things to be settled. The silver
question is not the money .ques-
ton. Progressive Age.
This is indeed remarkable!
Bro. Dobbin posed as a leading
populist during last campaign,
and as a news paper man ought
to be posted on the state of affairs
in the party. Let be that Bro.
=Dobbin is so far ahead of his age
that he can see nothing in the

with him for that. But when he

Last NIGHTS ment.

The temperance Drama, for the benefit
of the Y. W. c. T. U. given by local talent
in the Opera House last night, was we'll
rendered. The play was preceded by rec
itation entitled college Oil Cans by Miss
Julia Stats, who never fails to please her
hearers. Her selection last night was well
chosen and finely rendered.
The characters in the drama were all
we'll taken, each one assuming the role as
signed them with much ease.
Gilpin Massey, as Jonas Aldrich, the old
Fisherman, was excellent, and the do
mestic episodes with his wife, "Beckie
Marie" Miss Helen Price, were very anus
ing, the latter doing the broomstick act
with genuine vehemarce. Jonas fall and
reformation were the strong points of the
play.
Harry Budd, who is one Of the most pop
ular amateur actors, was at his best as
"Captain Hugh" He made a fine appear
ance, and his voice and manner were
worthy of professional. The love scene
between the Captain" and "Susie," Miss
Mabelle Taylor, was very gracefully rem
dered, the latter as the Ocean Waffle
ing very taking character, and in each
act she was warmly received by an admir-
ing audience.
Mrs. w. E. Barnard, displayed consider
able histironic talent in the part of the de-
serted wife, and came in well on the tragic
scenes of the duel, etc.
Miss Hattie Barnard was an ideal
"Frisky,' the housemaid, and Edward
Vaughan, as Col. Ellsworth. did the right
thing in the right way upon finding his
long lost daughter in little Susie" and was
a dignified parent and ardent lover.
DR.. J. c. Sites was capital william, and
did his part well.
Mr.. ]. c. Maxwell, was the leading char
acter in the roles of Pepper" the "colored
individual" who was the spice of the play
as well as the family. Grey Taylor and
John Parvis acted their parts well and
the whole performance was very creditable.
The storm, with thunder, tightening and
rain was especially realistic.
Prices Orchestra furnished the music.
