The Presidents Plan.

81 will give s. to any one who will
tell me how to keep my neighbor's
sheep from jumping over my fence
into my clover PATCH" said an old
farmer "Once on time"
Give me the S." replied his Oldest
son, land will tell you of a plan that
will surely prove effective"
The money was paid and the young
hopeful replied: Let your fence down
in places where they are most likely to
Jump over"
That is about the same kind of plan
that President Cleveland suggests to
prevent the bankers from forcing gold
out of the treasury-he lets down the
fence and gives the bankers the op-
portunity to get just what they want
without resorting to the rather Ito
them) tedious process of forcing small
bond issues by working the greenback
redemption scheme.
The scheme was undoubtedly per-
fected while Cleveland and John Sher-
man were taking their recent carriage
ride together.
Originated by bankers, championed
by the bankers senatorial mouthpiece,
John Sherman, and recommended by
the bankers chosen executive, Cleve-
land, it is not to be wondered at that
the scheme should have but these three
distinct features in the interest of
banks, viz: To kill the greenbacks, to
furnish interest-bearing bonds, and pro-
vide for the issue of all paper money in
the future by the banks.
The whole scheme is a deliberate and
most base conspiracy to defraud the
government.
If congress adopts Cleveland's sug-
gestion to "let down the fence" so that
bankers can revel in Uncle Sans fnan-
cial clover patch without going to the
trouble of jumping it, it will prove a
sorry deal for the goldbugs and their
two puppets, the republican and demo-
cratic parties, for it will result in the
election of Populist President in 1896
as surely as that John Sherman is an
old hypocrite and scoundrel.-Chicago
Sentinel.

many friends to sustain the position
on them taken by the Omaha platform,
as there are friends of free silver out
side Of the Peoples party.
The man or men who claim to be the
discoverer Of the fact that the currency
question is paramount at this time is
twenty-seven years behind the old
wooden mold-board pillow. The as
sumption Of such a position could only
emanate from supreme egotism or an
enexcusable ignorance Of the mind and
temper Of the people. For years from
three-fourths to nine-tenths of the read
ing space in Reform papers has been
occupied with discussion Of the cur
rency question in its different phases.
1t was this agitation that pressed it to
the front. 1t is not the chosen battle
ground of the enemy-he lodged the
question as long as he could. We have
pressed the fight and compelled him to
accept the gage of battle on these lines.
While doing that We have brought up
with us, in solid line, our transportation
forces, our land forces, our income-tax
forces and others who are now arrayed
with us in line of battle to help fight the
money power. Shall we forsake these
for mere promises of those who have
never yet had the courage to join our
ranks, because, forsooth, some one has
taken up the old plutocratic cry of so
cialism?" No. A thousand times no.
If there ever was time in the history
OF this country when men should stand
firm it is now. And this is especially
true of our leaders. The people are dis
gusted. The ranks of the enemy are
wavering. They are looking for great,
true and brave men who will press the
fight on the line of principle and not
stop to barter on the line of policy.
From business standpoint the meet
ing of the Press Association was a
grand success. Many interesting papers
were read. A communication was ap-
pointed to establish a Daily Populist
news service, and another to cOncen-
trate our patronage on a ready print
and plate service.
The new officers of the National Re-
form Press Association elected for the
ensuing year are as follows: Milton
Park of the Southern Mercury, Dallas,
Tex, president; w. A. HOtchkiss of the
National Republican, Presto, Mimi,
vice-president; W. S. Morgan of the
Buzz Saw, Hardy, Ark, secretary and
treasurer; executive committee, ]. H.
Mcdowell, Nashville; Paul ]. Dixon,
Chillocothe, Mo-; C. H. Matthews, In
dianapolis, Ind; E. S. Peters, Calvert,
Tex; W. L. Brown, Kingman, Kan. w.
S. Morgan was also reelected editor for
the National Reform Press Association
Official Ready Print and Plate Service
for another year. The Importance of
the existence of national association
was more forcibly impressed upon the
minds of those present than ever before.
1t has shown itself to be the bulwark of
the Reform movement, and the people
can rely upon its unfaltering loyalty
in the great battle for human rights.
Every Reform editor should belong to
the association.

FROM an Alleged Funny Paper.

Texas Siftings, an alleged humor-
GUS paper published in New York,
says:
The eastern part of our country does
not know what Populism is, what it
seeks to accomplish and what it has
ALREADY achieved. To them the Pop
ullst leaders seem fanatics from the
wild and woOlly west, with the wind
blowing through their whiskers and
thelr brains rafting in their heads for
lack OF practical ideas. The Populist
ought to have newspaper organ here
IN New York, to define their princi-
pies and to advocate their plans. Then
with the authorized and official facts
IN print, we should know Just what we
nave to expect and to contend against
instead of dealing blows at the empty
air, as most of the opponents of
Popullsm do now. Such a newspaper
has been projected by B. B. lVallen-
tine, an able, accomplished and ex-
perienced journalist, and several of
the Populist leaders have given it
their Endorsement. If it were pub
lished it would secure a large circula-
ton from curiosity, even before it cir
culated on its merits, because what
the Populists have to say will make
Democrat and Republican politicians
shake in their shoes. One effect
would probably be to add the whole
Prohibition party, which is yearly
gaining in strength, to the Populist
party, and also to combine in one or
gaization all the reformers whom we
now call cranks. Sooner or later the
Populists themselves will demand such
an organ to represent them; but now
it is demanded by their opponents, who
find the Populists doing all the mis-
chief possible and then Topping back
into their holes, like prairie dogs.
Let us get them into the open, and
then We shall know how to deal with
them.

SERVED IN TWO WARS.
THE GRIP ALMOST WON WHERE
ka- THE BULLET FAILED.
Our sympathies Always Enlisted in the
Infirmities of the Veteran.
From Woodstock. Va. Herald.

From Woodstock, Va, Herald.
There is an old soldier in Woodstock,
Va, who served in the war with Mex
leo and in the war of the rebellion, Mr..
Levi McInturff. He passed through
both these wars without serious
wound. The hardships, however, told
seriously on him, for when the grip
attacked him four years ago 1t nearly
killed him. Who can look on the in
hrmities Of a veteran without feeling
Of the deepest sympathy? His towns
people saw him confined to his house so
Frustrated with great nervousness that
he could not hold a knife and fork at
the table, scarcely able to walk too,
and as he attempted it, he often
stumbled and fell. They saw him
treated by the best talent to be had
but still he suffered on for four years,
and gave up finally in despair One
day, however, he was struck by the
account of cure which had been eff
fected by the use of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills. He Immediately ordered a box
and commenced taking them. He says
he was greatly relieved within three
days time. The blood found it's way
to his fingers and his hands which had
been palsied assumed a natural color
and he was soon enabled to use his
knife and fork at the table. He has
recovered his strength to such an eX-
tent that he is able to chop wood, shock
corn and do his regular work about his
home He now says he can not only
walk to Woodstock, but can walk
10 &c oh 70
lift fifty-two pound weight with one
hand and says he does not know what
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have done fer
others, but knows that they have done
a great work for him.
He was in town last Monday, court
day, and was loud in his praises of the
medicine that had given him so great
relief. Mr.. McInturf is willing to make
affidavit to these facts.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills were used for
many years by an eminent practitioner
who produced the most wonderful re-
suits with them, curing all forms Of
weakness arising from watery blood or
shattered nerves, two causes Of al
most every i'll to which flesh is heir.
The pills are also a specific for the
troubles peculiar to females, such as
suppressions, all forms Of weakness,
chronic constipation, bearing down
pains, etc, and in the case of men will
give speedy relief and effect a perma-
nent cure in all cases arising from
mental worry, overwork, or excuses of
whatever nature. They are entirely
harmless and can be given to weak and
sickly children with the greatest good.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid OH receipt of
price, go cents box, or six boxes for
$2.5O-by addressing DR.. Williams

Champ Clark on Jerry Simpson.

From a recent speech in the House
of Representatives: Mr.. Speaker
When l came into this house l had the
newspaper idea about Jerry Simpson.
Finally he got up here and made a
speech on the silver question. l lis
tened to the speech, and want to say
now, because somebody has got it to
state it to the American people, as
Simpson and l are going out together
Qaughter), that during the whole of
that long, able, profound, debate on
the silver question there was not a
man in this house on either side who
delivered a speech that was pitched on
a higher plane of political economy
and human philosophy and stuck to
it to the end better than Mr.. Simpson.
They said that "An open confession Is
good for the soul" And want to make
that statement now. From that day
to this, instead of having the news
paper idea of Jerry Simpson that he
is a cantankerous demagogue, | have
regarded him as a philosopher, as a
statesman, as one of the friends of
human freedom.

Nations May Combine to Remove Dan.
gerous Hulks From the Sea.
There is probability that another ef-
fort will be made to secure an inter
national agreement looking to the de.
struction of derelicts at sea. Great
Britain, which first rejected any
proposition in that direction, may
now ask that conference be held by
which various nations interested in
maritime matters may agree upon a
plan which will materially assist in
destroying these dangers to naviga-
ton. Last year the admiralty office
of Great Britain considered the CUES
ton of joint action with the United
States in destroying derelicts in the
Atlantic ocean, but finally reported
against it, holding that the danger to
navigation from derelicts was not great
and that the method now being pur-
sued would destroy those most dan
gerous to British shipping interests.
But within a month after this report
sixteen derelicts were discovered in
the pathway of transatlantic steamers
and near the Irish coast. This again
started the agitation for an interna-
tional agreement, but whether it will
result in conference is undeter-
mined. The record thus far this year
shows that there are not only many
derelicts, but that they have been in
the track Of vessels, resulting in fire.

LAID TO REST.
Funeral of EX-PrinceSs Poonaiks-
lani-Interment in Mausoleum.


The funeral of the late ex-Prin,
cess Poomaikelani, sister of the
Dowager Queen Kapiolani, took
place yesterday afternoon from St
Andrews Cathedral. The cathed-
raj was crowded in every part with
the friends of the deceased, princi-
pally Hawaiians.
The chief mourners were ex'
Princes Kawananakoa and Kalani-
anaole. In the seat behind them
were Chief Justice Judd, Judge
Whiting and Paul Neumann. 9th
ers present were John Ena and wife,
the sisters and pupils of st. An
drews Priory, Captain Trip, Mrs.
Gulick, Sir Robert Heron, Mrs.
Haalelea, Mrs. Graham and Mrs.
Smithies.
The service was read in Hawaiian
by the Bishop of Honolulu, and
the supplied choir sang two hymns,
Wray Taylor presiding at the organ.
The floral offerings were most beau
tiful. The remains were inferred
in the Mausoleum, Nuuanu Valley,
where all the kings and queens are
buried.
1t is understood that the deceased
lady in her will has remembered
st. Andrews Priory and Iolani
College. She was a member of St.
Andrews Cathedral congregation.
