When political leaders like Sena'
tor Geo. G. Vest, of this state, sink
patriotism below party name, IT
must be evident to every Intelligent,
thinking man that he must act in
dependently, boldly and promptly,
if he would see this country wrested
from a greedy, vicious, heartless
plutocracy; a power that grows fat
and wakes strong under the deadly,
desolating effects of contraction and
the establishment Of a gold standard.
Whom a mana United States Sena-
tor-can stand IN front of audience
of his constituents as did Vest at
Fayette. Mo-, last Saturday, and
tell his hearers in the plainest terms
of the evils of the scarce money
volume and the horrors and misery
attending its contraction-when
sucl, man can picture this and then
deliberately tell his hearers that he
will support this system of whole
sale ruin and oppression if his party
so decides in its next national con-
vention, can the people longer for
leaders 10 actY
He tells his hearers that an IN
hation of the currency Is neecod,
but will support the nominee of his
party if the candidate be a gold
standard man or any platform the
convention may make.
In effect he declares that while
Knowing the road to prosperity for
the masses of the people his con
s,ituents-he will follow the path
leading TO coniiscation of lheirhome,
want, misery and all the horrors at
tending the system he so vividly
and truthfully porir1ys, if his party

He tells his hearers that he could
not face them without the mantle Of
shame on his face, were he recreant
TO his his allegiance their cause and
then brazenly informs them that he
will support gold man on platform
without regard to its declarations
lie asserts that the money in cir
culation does not exceed So 81 per
capita, and declares in effect that
if his party decides against an IN
crease be will yet stand by il.

more money pin their faith to the
leadership of such men az George

objects is delayed till the end OF

The power supreme and regal;
The people sanction or Veto
Or ask the House to mend 'he"'
And this is called,as you well inow'
BY Swiss. the Referendum
The Swiss are happy, brave and free;
They love the simple system;
Their officers can never be
Where bribery can twist them;
With taxes light, and work Tor ALL
They speak to every nation;
Let every other system fall
And try our legislation
If we will only heed the cry
That comes across the waters
Be willing now this plan to Try
az these Swiss sons and daughters;
Then, we will see mighty SUR
In our beloved nation;
The idle wheels begin to wh'rr
By "Direct Legislation "
The bells will then begin to ring
The bells in every steeple,
And we shall shout praises and sing
"The reign of all the people
Our politicians then shall cease
To purchase votes to send '"em,
For they well know how snort '"e''
If we try Referendum"
The gold will then leap out oil the
vaults,
The precious yellow metal,
And our finance which limps and
The people soon will settle,
Our tramps will then be men OF toll
Receiving compensation,
And our machinery we shall oil
With "Direct Legislation"
The dram shop then will pass away
With all its work internal,
For when the people have their sway
Their acts will be eternal.
We've tried almost thousand things
Upon saloons to end them;-
When we abolish party rings,
Well try the Referendum"
Monopolies will then be crushed
In this the best of nations;
The peoples voice shall not be
sc hushed
By souless corporations;
The daily press will then be sweet
For Truth and Right and Freedom
And look no longer to Wall street.
For glittering gold to feed them
Then politics will not be run
By rings and thugs and brokers;
Electioneering not be done
By Hills and Quays and Croakersi
The Office then will seek the man
Not man the situation,
And honest men will lead the van
By "Direct Legislation"
To bring about this golden age
This blessed institution.
We must give up this party rage,
And change our constitution.

A Case of SeIf-Soreness

The News a few days ago published
tried to show that horse racing is in
furious to the tender mind, and that the
school trustees should be severely cen
sured for giving the children a chance
the to see King of Sports.' The writer
sat next to the editor of the News a few
nights ago at the entertainment given
by RoncOvier's Band, and among the
stereoptican views thrown on tie can
vass was a series Of pictures repre-
senting the never to be forgotten
match race between Salvador and
Of Monmouth Park and the horses at
the post. click, the shutter moved, and
a view Of the horses going up the
stretch, head and head. Another view
the grand finish, both horses racing
for the wire and Salvador in the lead.
The next view shows Saltwater the win
ner, and the storm of applause that
went up from the audience in the
Opera House, sounded like they had
really witnessed the great race. The
editor of the News made as much
noise as a dead game sport and the
writer heartily joined in.
This is only one Of the many cases
Of enthusiasm that can be witnessed
on any race course or by any illustra-

What Mexicans most fear is that
the silver question will be settled and
the parity between that metal and
gold restored. They know that this
is their time Of opportunity, and that
as long as the United States and
Europe cling to the folly of gold mon
Ometallism all industries in that
country will flourish. Mexico is an
object lesson like that which the rapid
advance OF Japan presents. 1t shows
that a silver basis does not bring ruin,
but that prosperity follows its train.
1t shows above all things, how great
the folly of the United States is in
clinging to a financial policy which
~depresses industry, paralyzes trade
and throws labor out of employment.

THE VENEZUELAN INCIDENT
Chamberlain Reported to Have Sent
More Pointed Dispatches to Brit
ish Guiana Authorities.
SEVERE MEASURES MAY Be RESORTED TO
Colonial Government Wants to Sustain
the Prestige of the British Flag
Salisbury Better Suppress Cham
berlain Consul Talks
Through His Hat.

Washington, Nov. Is. = Information
reached here to-day from Demerera
British Guiana, to the effect that further
dispatches of a pointed character have
been received from Joseph Chamberlain,
the British minister for the colonies, con-
cerning Venezuela. Their contents were
not disclosed, but meeting of the high
council of the colony was called at which
1t was believed the SUBJ ject would be fully
discussed.
The report in circulation at Demerera
and generally credited is that Minister
Chamberlain has forwarded dispatches to
the British Guiana government, in which
he inquiries whether, in the event of meas
ures between that colony and Venezuela
being pushed to extremes, the colonial
government is prepared "to do its ut
most in an endeavor to sustain the
prestige of the British flag, to which it
owes it's allegiance"
Commenting on these dispatches, the
press of Demerera says that there need
be no hesitation in giving an affirmative
answer to Minister Chamberlain. Why
such an inquiry should come from Lon
don excites onjecture and the feeling is
that it may be due to irritation because
the high council voted down Mr.. Cham
berlain's proposition to buy Maxim
guns, ammunition etc.
In that event the next meeting of the
high council is expected to show pur-
pose to support Chamberlain.
The German consul, Mr.. Webber, says
that England should insist on final set
Element on the lines it has laid down.

Meet Fitzsimmons in the Fistic
Arena.

New York, Nov. 16.-The World prints
the following: Jim Corbett does not take
any interest in Dan Stuart's latest propo-
sition.
"When I announced my retirement
from the ring meant it," said Corbett.
~ would not train again for great deal
of money and particularly not for this
bluffing foreigner. If he wanted to fight
he could certainly have had one at Hot
Springs. l am surprised at Dan for
taking any further stock In Fitzsim-

STUART STARTS EAST.
Ell Paso.-Dan Stuart left here to-day
for San Antonio where he will sign Fitz-
simmons to meet Corbett at Ell Paso, jan
uary 10. Dan Stuart's proposition pro-
vides that he shall post $4,000 as soon as
articles of agreement have been signed
and to put up the other $4,000 five days
before the day Of the contest, or if neces-
sary he will post the entire $4,000 as
soon as the two men agree to meet. He
has the money cash in hand.
Last night Mr.. Stuart received tele-
gram from one of the most noted sport.
ing writers in the country. In substance
the telegram said:
"Go after Corbett. He will have to
fight or quit the stage. His talk about
giving away the championship is rot and
the public won't stand it. Corbett will
fight Fitzsimmons."
After signing Fitzsimmons, Stuart will

terview with Corbett. He said: II believs
I will get Corbett's signature, for the rea-
sons, first, that Corbett wants to fight,
and second, because he can not afford to
