which it is not only dishonest but

The Capitalization of wealth has
gone hand and hand with the spread
of poverty. The pauper and the
plutocrat are the children of the same
vicious and unholy system. The
situation is full of omen to the liber-
ties of the people and life of the Re-
public. The issue is eniranchisement
or hopeless servitude.
We, therefore, appeal to the plain
people of the country with perfect
confidence in their patriotism and in
telligence to arouse themselves to a
full sense Of the peril that confronts
them and defend the citadel of their
liberties with a vigilance that shall
neither slumber nor sleep.
The following resolution was also
presented and adopted:
Resolved, That committee COM
posed of one member from each State
be appointed by the delegate thereof
in this convention. whose duty it
shall be to correspond with the advo-
Gates OF bimetallism and bimetallc So
cieties in the different sections OF the
union, and devise measures to advance
the cause of bimetallism throughout
the United States; that this commit
tee shall have power to call a national
conference of bimetallic advocates
whenever, in the opinion OF the COM
mittee, the cause of bimetallism can
be advanced thereby.

tization :

The silver.purchase clause in the
Sherman law was repealed in 1898,
when silver had dropped to IS cents
per ounce. since that time it has
ranged ten cents lower. Is there any
one SO blind that they cannot see that
the adoption Of the single gold stand
ard and the destruction Of silver as
full legal tender money gave US high
priced dollar,-a dishonest dollar, a
robber dollars In 1872, the year
prior to the demonstration OF silver,
the worlds production Of gold at its
coin value was $99, 600 900, and that
of silver only $65, ,250,OOO. Yet the
Oregonian and other organs of the
Wall street panic makers, tell US that
over production silver caused its fall
in price and lead to the abandonment
OF free coinage. 1t is deplorable fact
that there is lack of information gen.
orally among the people in regard to
this great living question OF finance,
and the goldbug press take advantage
of this condition to deceive their
readers. In the past, while the money
power has been devoting itself exclu-
sively to the finance question, the
people have been hoodooed with the
tariff controversy, the southern yell"
and the bloody shirt" The money
power has made the most OF its time,
and now that they have control OF the
United States Treasury and the people
begin to understand the real situation,
the subsidized press attempt to mis-
lead them by the publication of state
ments which are altogether mislead-
ing and untrue. Bu. this will eyentu-
ally prove unsuccessful. The seed Of
education is being sown in every
county in the United States, and the
people are coming to realize that the
demonstration of silver was con
spiracy carried out by the money
power, and they will not rest until
that great crime is undone.

STOCKMEN At WAR.
Cattlemen and Sheepherders nj
Outs In whitman County.


Cattlemen and sheepmen are at war
in the southwestern part of Whitman
county, in the vicinity of Hay station
and Pampa. 1t has been growing
gradually more bitter for several
weeks until it now appears as though
bloodshed would be the result. The
cattlemen have had practical pos
session of the range in that city for
several years, but this spring and last
fall the sheepmen have been en-
croaching upon the outside grass,
which the cattlemen seem to feel is
their rightful property, and consider
able ill-feeling has been caused. A
large number OF the cattle has been
driven out or shipped to Montana
ranges, but the season have been so
dry that the grass did not grow near
rs much this season as usual and the
sheep which have overrun the ranges
have taken nearly all of it.
Some OF the sheepmen have large
ranches OF from 1000 to 5000 acres
and have kept their herds in their
pasture, but since they have been
feeding on outside ranges they have
found their fences cut in many places
and accuse the stockmen of the crime.
About u month ago come OF the
sheepmen found that their haystacks
and pastures had been set fire TO and
on the night OF June 10 about 40 tons
of hay belonging to Phil Cox, an
equal amount belonging to John
Chritz, and finally a cabin belonging
to A. Hansen was burned, giving him
barely time to escape from the build
ing before it fell. Secret meetings OF
both factions are being held, and
vigilance committees being formed
on the part of stockmen to drive
sheep out of the country, and Of
sheepmen to retain their ranges, and
a serious conduct may be expected
almost any day.
This war is but the renewal OF q
similar one which occurred in the
same section some eight years ago,
when the stockmen organized and
ordered the sheepmen out of the
country, scattering their bands, burn
ing their camps and taking an occa.
sional shot at q herder. In that
difference the stockmen won, and for
several years sheepmen have kept off
these ranges, but they are beginning
to grow more bold, and this year
have taken nearly all of the grass.

DREAMS PROMPTINGS.
There Is N Constant Flow of Tn.
conscious Thought While We
Sleep,

Rochester Post-EYpress.
The psychologists of the first half OF
the century and some more modern
writers expressed the belief that dream
ing only occurred at the moment
when consciousness began to resume
its sway.
But in The North american Review,
DR.. Louis Robinson says that modern
investigators accept the theory OF the
metaphysicians and believe that there
is certain amount of cerebral action
during the whole period of sleep, and
that the vast majority of our dreams
never come to our knowledge. He
thinks that there is an unbroken cur
rent of ideas which passes through the
sleeping brain, and which only reveals
itself to the conscious ego when some
disturbing element intervenes. "We
may compare it to an invisible and
silent river, flowing by without be-
traying its presence, save where there
is splash OF a fish or of a falling
stone, or some foaming eddy where a
rock breaks the smooth surface"
DIR. Robinson's article is long and
interesting. The conclusions at which
he arrives are as follows: Owing to
the unceasing unconscious cerebration
which is necessary concomitant OF
our power of intellect, the brain is
always in part awake, and is especially
active in shifting memorized matter.
The cerebral centers connected with
the sense organs are continually and
independently employed in stimulat-
ing impressions from without. Certain
of the senses, especially that of hear
ing, remain open to external influ-
ences during sleep and convey actual
vibrations to the brain. There is an
active and purely involuntary predis-
position on the part of the mental
apparatus to compare and collate all
the messages which come, or seem to
come, from without, through the
sense channels, and to collate these
again with what is brought to the
consciousness by involuntary recol-
ton. Associated with this is a ten.
dency to combine the evidence so col.
lectcd into coherent whole, and to
make the result OF either explain the
more emphatic thoughts or impress
sions, or else answer some questions
which occupied the attention before
sleep began. "No voluntary power
exists during sleep to pick out from
the tumble handed in that which is
relevant to the problem to be solved,
and just as there is no power to dis
criminate real from false impressions
at the outset, so, throughout dream,
we are completely oblivious to the
most glaring fallacies and inconsis-
tencies."

INDUCEMENTS" TO RETAILERS.
Goods ana Valuable Articles Given
For the Price Of the Goods.
IndianaDolis News

Indianapolis News.
Something will have to be done to
discourage inducements to retailers"
declared wholesale grocer. "A good
pure food law could do some good.
These inducements move the cupidity
OF the retailer, andthe consumer suf.
fers by having imposed upon him in
ferior or adulterated goods"
"What do you mean by induce
ments7"
The grocer handed to the inquirer a
handsomely illustrated card on which
were the words:
"Free with 500 pieces OF Jolloppy's s
CHATS not the name) chewing gum,
the handsome full gilt clock here
pictured at cost to the retailer of So
that is, you get IS worth OF gum at
retail and a SO clock all for 49,"
elf the manufacturer stopped at
chewing gum, the generalization to
the trade would be slight, but this get
something for nothing idea is stimulat.
ed all along the line. 1t is bad enough
in various lines of tobacco, but in the
line of ground spices and coffee it is
absolutely pernicious. It's a lucky
consumer that gets any genuine ground
spices now or any goods that may be
cheapened by mixing. Mustard is
mixed with sawduss and made hot in
the mouth by the addition OF cayenne
pepper. So it is with other things.
Here's a catalogue of the manu-
facturer who unblushingly labels his
book absolutely pure Spices There
are about $50 different articles named
in it as prices to grocers who buy these
spices in greater or less quantity.
Among the inducements are musical
boxes, firearms, furniture OF all kinds,
stoves, sewing machines, stove fixtures,
show cases, clocks, cyclopedias, bicycles
baby carriages, lawn mowers, mackin-
toshes, crockery, rugs, silverware,
watches, gold-headed canes, umbrellas,
and SO on up to delivery wagons and
two-seated carriages. Here's the in.
ducement in the last named:
"With 750 pounds ground spices, ab-
solutely pure, any assortment Of all
spice, mustard, ginger, pepper, CHINA.
mon, cloves, ETC., at 25 cents a pound
we give one of these carriages free. In
other words, $50 pounds of spices and

this same sort Of thing and perhaps tc
as great an extent as the grocery trade

Danger From Lightning.
Philadelphia Times.

fHudueipnld ilmeb.
There is somewhat widespread i'm
preston that the use OF so much wire
for telephone and other electrical pur-
poses in cities and towns largely in-
creases the danger OF lightning strokes.
The notion is based upon the concen-
tration within certain limits of a great
quantity of conducting material,
which, it is assumed. attracts the
electricity and thereby increases the
danger of it. While it is true that
the inceease OF conducting material
increases the attraction, it is not true
that it increases the danger. AS
matter of fact, it decreases the danger,
for the more surface electricity has
over which to spread, the more rapidly
and quickly it is carried to the earth.
A house with metal roof is not often
struck by lightning, for while the
metal may attract the electricity, it
also gives it room TO spread out, and
its force is thus dissipated. This fact
was demonstrated by Franklin with
his kite long ago, and lighting rods
are put ON buildings to give storm
clouds a means Of discharging their
electricity into the earth. This dis
charge takes place without the report
that we call thunder, for electricity
makes no noise unless it meets some
resisting medium.
1t is a well-known fact that there is
less danger from lightning in cities
than in the country. and this is due to
the general use OF iron, steel and
other metals in the buildings. The
buildings are tall, and would seem,
therefore, to be specially attractive to
the lightning; indeed, they are often
struck, but the metal in them dissi.
pates the force OF the fluid and carries
it harmlessly and quietly to the earth
The effect of telephone wires upon
atmospheric electricity has been un.
der official investigation by the Ger.
man department of telegraphs, and
statistics from 800 cities show that the
danger from lightning strokes is foul
times as great in towns that do moi
have the telephone as in those tha
have it. The conclusion OF the whole
matter, therefore, is that an abund
ance of wires gives protection from
lightning, instead of increasing th'
danger.

Chinese to the wall on this line, and
the idea has been suggested that the
fight in the Orient that recently closed
in favor OF the little brown men is be.
ing kept up on California soil.
Chinese in that city are bitterly
complaining OF the unfairness Of the
japanese in reducing the price OF labor,
and were it not so serious matter to
the whites, the latter could afford to
smile at the grim humor OF the law OF
retribution.
A few years ago Japanese house ser.
wants charged the same for their SER
vices as the Chinese, but they gradually
dropped in price, for the privilege Of
learning the English language.
The same decrease was made in
wages in the field until now gangs of
Japanese laborers are working in the
orchards and on farms for SIS month.
They are all, or nearly all, working
under "padrone" system, being sub
iect to one master, who furnishes them
with their food and clothing and pays
them at the end of the season.
The Chinese have not gone so low
yet. While they work in gangs sent
out by contractors they have held their
wages demanding at least a dollar a
day. The probable reason that 10000
Chinese have been driven out of work
entirely and forced to become tramps,
as they forced white men, is because
they are not over 800 Japs in the State.
But they see what the future has in
store for them and as soon as the
Chinese get crowded out they 60 to
the placer mines. 1t is believed that
there are about 5000 Chinese placer
miners scattered along the coast whose
places in other fields have been filled
by that number OF Japs. As it is there
are idle Chinese or Japanese, but the
reason for this is that both have under
bid the American laborer.
