IL Seems Incredible.

There is an audacity about the de-
mand of the gOldites for $500, 900, 900
more bonds that would add plumage
TO the crest of a Robin Hood or a
Captain Kidd.
The demand does not arise out of
an insufficient revenue, for treasury
experts confidently state that in a
short time the revenue will be ample
for all expenses of the government.
The receipts from the income tax will
reach S5O,OOO,OOO and the imports are
gradually and surely increasing in
volume. In any event, slight ad-
ditiOnal tax upon beer, whiskey, or
cigars, would supply whatever de-
iciency might possibly deyelOpe.
The bonds are demanded that the
government may purchase gold with
them to pay it out in exchange for
nOninterest bearing paper, presented
by Heidelbach, lckelheimer & Co..
and Lazard Freres, that they may
ship it to their correspondents in
Europe for the profit that is in it to
them.
What mOnstrOuS and uLhOly bur-
den to pile upon the already rounded
shoulders of American taxpayers!
Five hundred millions of dollars. A
new debt, the principal and interest of
which must be paid in gold! Fifteen
millions Of gold dollars to be wrung
from the taxpayers every year simply
topay the interest upon these bonds!
For what? Because England and
Germany and other European coun-
tries are seeking for gold, and their
agents here, without right, demand
that the American government shall
procure it for them.
They present the treasury notes of
the government and ask that they
shall be redeemed in gold. Upon the
face of these notes and by the clear
letter Of the law, the government may
redeem them in either gold or silver
coin. The silver dollars have never
deprecated shade. Their purchas-
ing and paying power have always
been equal to that of the gold dollar.
The treasury is running over with sill
yer dollars and with bullion out of
which TO coin them. Yet, with an
Oyerflowing treasury Of coin money,
money which every creditor in this
country must receive, money which
has never been discredited a farthing.
the money in which the law says these
treasury notes may be redeemed. the
government of the United States vol
untarilly goes into the market and
buys gold with its interest bearing
bonds to meet these never-ceasing de-
mandS of the Ickelheimers and
Lizards, the agents for the gold suck
ers across the ocean.
Great is Heidelbach and Ickel-
heimer and Lazard and the rest of the
pirate gang; but how infinitely mean
and slayish are Cleveland, Sherman,
Carlisle, Reed and all their ilk, w'lO,
to warm in the sunshine of the gold
power, would crush out with taxation
the people they claim to representa-

Editorial Convention,

| NNANOA Va NhN OANG ohNNihNi
the National Reform Press meeting
at Kansas City last week. There
were about 200 editors present from
al! over the union. Texas sent a
large delegation and you never saw
a more enthusiastic set of fellows.
They say they are sure of carrying
the state next time. They came
within a few thousand of it last fall.
The heaviest gains to the Populist
cause will undoubtedly be in the
south in the near future. Disgust
with Cleveland will drive them into
the new party, while In the north the
ignorance of the masses will be
played for all it is worth in the effort
to convince them that the present
iruition of long matured Republican
policy is solely the result of Demo-
cractic ascendancy. But as to the
convention. 1t was a splendid gath
ering, full Of inspiration for all who
attended. We haye never been so
deeply impressed with the earnest
ness and determination of the reform
editors before. Their every fibre
seemed sensitive to the grave dan
gers Of the Republic. There were
splendid papers and interesting dis
cuSsions. There was no discord as
reported through the lying associated
press reports. We never attended a
more harmonius gathering. There
was an exchange Of views as to pol
icy, no condemnation of Taubeneck
or anybody else. The committee
appointed to prepare set CT resolu-
tions touching the differences which
seemed 10 exist submitted their
report and it was adopted unani-
mously, Itwas conceded that the
old parties having both thrown down
the gauntlet on the money question,
the very logic of events forced the
Peoples party to take it up at this
point and meet the issue, without
assuming or desiring to IN any way
change the Omaha platform. The
lying reports sent out by the Kansas
City Star and other papers were read
IN open meeting and denounced, but
not word of this denial ever saw
the light in these papers.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: President,
Milton Park, Of the Southern Mer-
curry, Dallas, Texas; vice president,
M. Hotchkiss, National republican,
Preston, Mimi; secretary and treas
urer, W. S. Morgan, the National
Reformer, Hardy, Ark; executive
board, J. H, Mcdowell, Union City,
Tenn; Paul J. Dixon, Chillicothe,
Mo-; c. X. Matthews, indianapolis,
Ind; E. S. Peters, Calvert, Texas,
and W. L. Brown, Kingman, Kan.

that "the bnnkers practically had

to contend for their existence the gift
OF the alternate sections to the uni

not been changed by the constitution
OF 1875 would have amounted TO over
5000, 900 acres, Is not the only case In

pcnters History Of the University Of
Wisconsin," the denominaHonal ool-
leges sent up petitions to the leglsla-
ture asking that the university fund
and It's Income be divided among them
and the state university be abandoned.
Many names were attached to these
petitions and the local press favored
the measure, until pressure was
brought to bear upon the legislature
that was almost irresistlble; and on

charter of tho university, distribute Its
funds. and give its income to the de-
nominational colleges in the state
Thus near being sacrificed was this
university, now one OF the finest In the
country.
Such facts from the history of state
management OF universities certainy
intesify the arguments OF Professor
Bats In his report to the regents of the
To- hR uNtf nj
university lands where he says; There
ought to be possibility Of agreement
between the persons desiring TO secure
u lease and the owners of the land.
II some one Is willing TO give cents
or more the state should be In position
10 take the best contract offered. III
2 cents is the maximum that can be Sc
cured, the revenue that would be de
rived from this ought not TO be lost In
an unaVailing effort TO secure more
If the land Is not worth 2 cents, dis
erection could be lodged somewhere to
accept whatever could be secured. A
lease of all the university lands for the
past eleven years OF even / cent per
acre would have brought to the uni
versity $500 900, more than three times
the amount actually received from
a flexible administration Of an iniieN-
ible law"
Inc Incorporation OF the pobru OF re-
gents has been suggested as perhaps
the simplest and most effective way 10
place the land under their manage
ment. II Is the method Of the states
where the site university has part of
Its endowment in land as In California
aud New York In California the uni
versity is realizing five times as much
from It's lands under the management
of the regents as 1t did when they We're
controlled by the state. Such facts
should impress the Texas legislature
with the wisdom OF allowing the re-
gents of the university to control the
lands OF the university that they may
be leased moro satlsfactOrlly.
