A POWERFUL COMBINATION.

The complete split between the gold
bug factions of the Democratic and
Republican parties and the bi-metallic
factions, long-expected and long-hoped-
for, is here. Alliance education has
done the work. The Peoples party was
the first installment of the great band
who are to redeem the country, re-
store prosperity and equal rights to
all and special privileges to none" The
Peoples party was q huge block and it
carried off more than a million voters
at one haul. It's growth in a little over
two years has been phenomenal. Now
another great mass of voters have cut
loose and are ready to combine with
any other faction with the same object
in view. Recently fifteen or twenty
prominent Populjsts, mostly Senators
and Congressman, issued a manifesto
that had no uncertain sound. Last
Thursday an equal number of Demo
cratic Senators and Congressman de-
clared they were ready to cut loose
from Wall Street and England. These
party leaders have behind them mil
lions of voters ready to follow tried
and true leaders. Now, if the BIZ
metallic Republicans mean what they
say the goldbug gang may tremble in
their boots.
The advocates of this combination
of all the bimetallic forces, have issued
the following code of principles:
"The money question is now indis-
putably the dominant issue in the
United States, and will remain 50 until
settled, and settled rightly. Other
questions, however important, must
wait for this, which, to a greater or
less extent, involves all others. The
issue is between a gold standard, gold
bonds, and bank currency on the one
side, aud a bimetallic standard, no
bonds, and government currency on
the other.
First. On this issue we declare our
selves to be unalterably opposed tothe
single gold standard, and demand an
immediate return to the constitutional
standard of gold and silver, by the
restoration by this government, indie
peudently of any foreign power, of the
unrestricted coinage of both gold and
silver into standard money at the ratio
of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact
quality the silver coin to be a full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all
debts and dues, public and private.
Second. We hold that the power to
control and regulate a paper currency
inseparable from the power to coin
money; and hence, that all currency
intended to circulate as money should
be issued and its volume controlled by
the government only, and should be
legal tender.
"Third. We are unalterably opposed
to the issue by the United States of in
terest bearing bonds in time of peace,
and demand the payment of all coin.
obligations of the United States, as
provided by existing laws, in either
gold or silver coin, at the option of the
government, and not at the option of
the creditors.
ION this issue we appeal from the
dictation of the money power to the
intelligence and patriotism of the
American people"
The address is followed by the sug-
gestion of thename of Joseph g. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania, as the party's candi-
date for President.
THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

been smart enough to get up the bill
"a that shape hoping that the leglsla-
ture could be deceived.
We have no objections to legitimate
shows in respectable cities. But we
doubt the stability of the Atlanta
show. The depression will nip 1t In
the bud. It can't be more than a local
affair, scheme to empty a few thou
sand dollars into Atlanta. That is not
all. It has been proven that an honest
man stands but little show in that
State. A respectable citizen can't go
through the State and discuss public
issues without being abused. insulted
and egged. In some sections of the
State an honest man can't be elected to
Office. If there is any odds, Georgia
has more ballot box rogues than North
Carolina, and that is saying enough to
cause every honest citizen to blush.
There are thousands of good people in
Georgia and the city of Atlanta. But
certain so called leading citizens OF
that city and State have done more to
aid in carrying out the demonstration
and bond schemes than in any other
Southern or Western State. ALI in all
the South and West owes Georgia
nothing. No State should appropriate
money for the Atlanta show and no
citizen should make sacrifices ofmoney
or time to ~patronize the show.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo, May My
last bulletin gave forecasts OF the
storm wave to cross the continent
from 4 TO 8 and 10 to IA and the next
will reach the Pacific coast about May
II, cross the western mountain
country by close Of 18th, the great
central valleys from 10Th to 18th
and the eastern states about the 18th.
This disturbance will bring some OF
the heaviest rains Of tho month but
these rains will not generally occur
where most needed The tendency
will be decidedly toward too much
rain in tho southeastern states and a
deficiency toward the northwest.

Low barometcrs cross the continent
from west to east every three or four
days but not all Of them produce that
which is worthy being called storm
waves. Many Of these lows are en-.
tirely dry, produce no rain, the atmos-
phere circulating in them contains
little moisture and therefore they do
not affect animal life.
My effort to forecast only those
lows that produce a damp atmosphere
and the national weather maps make
no distinction between the day and
wet lows, consequently the weather
maps show more lows and highs than
are contained in my forecasts.
Many Of these lows, produce nc
sensible weather changes and as an

SENSIBLE TEMPERATURES.

SENSIBLE TEMPERATURES.
There arc two very distinct kinds
Of temperatures and two kinds Of Their
mometcrs for recording them. One
OF these temperatures is that OF a dry

would be a Paradise compared with

Capt. Glassford, formerly connected
with the national weather bureau,
now chief signal officer Of the army
department of the Colorado and sta

an article in which he says:

HOTEL IMPROVEMENTS.
The PIeaSanton UndergoeS a
Complete Transfor-
nation.
Q. M. Brennan Expends Thousands
OF Dollars In Decorations and
Furniture.

A peculiar anomaly in the affairs of men
is presented this year by the building OF
new structures and the general improve
ment of hotels and residences. Among the
most notable building expenditures of the
season have been those of O. M. Brennan,
proprietor of Hotel Pleasanton, at the COR
ner of Sutter and Jones streets.
Mr.. Brennan is successful hotel man,
who keeps pace with the march of improve
ment in his line. Ali through the vacation
season carpenters, painters, decorators, art
glass manufacturers and other branches of
skilled labor have been engaged in making
sweeping and costly changes in this popu-
ar house.
The renovation and refurn;shing began
at the front doors and extended to the very
shades of the skylights in the attic. The
interior has undergone complete meta
morphosis. Every feature of the big hotel
has been changed and improved upon.
The frescoing is q dream of loneliness and
harmoniously blends with the rich car
pets designed and woven especially for this
house.
The electrical improvements are es-
pecially fine, special provision having been
made of dynamos for day as we'll as for
night use. The incandescent lights are
arranged in rows, clusters and circles in
halls and eception-rooms wherever they
might add warm beauty to the rich sur
roundings.
Returning guests and visitors to the
