London, Dec lin spite of the cry Of
professionalism which the sporting pa
pers here have INDUCED in concerning the
American athletes. the London Athletic
club VIII shortly challenge the New York
Athletic club to a, contest in London dur
ing the summer Of 1895.
J. Z. Martin, president of the London
Athletic club, informed a representative
of the Associated Press yesterday that a
challenge would be sent TO the New York
Athletic club, this having been the senti-
ment of the English athletes ever since
Their return from New York. The Eng
1ishmen say they had nothing TO COM
plain Of as to their trea tment while in
America, although they complain Of the
hot weather which prevailed while they
were on the other side Of the Atlantic,
and they think they viii do better next
time. The London Athletc CLUB IS al
ready in correspondence with the various
universities for the purpose of securing
the best material available.
Pres dent Martin spoke very highly Of
American athletes and added: 1--WE shall
be glad to meet and welcome a company
team in England"
Considerable comment has been aroused
in sporting circles by the speeches made
at the recent annual dinner of the London
Athletic club al st. James hall
Mr.. Montague Sherman, an old Oxford
athlete, who presided, referred to the per-
Torrance of the London Athletic club
men in America. and said that the New
York Athletic club sent into the field a
team in full training, representing the
whole representative strength of amateur
athletics in America. while the London
Athletic club did the best they could I'M
der trying circumstances
Mr.. Sherman also remarked that the
reason the London Athletic club Were
beaten was because the Americans were
more fit and yell. and ran faster and
jumped higher; and, If their system of
amateursm was different, it produced
more of the unanimtty which, conducted
on our own lines, would be more con-
duciYe to the success of any future Lon
don Athletic club team.

Now" said Lovejoy "Abes legs are
altogether too long, and yours, Douglas, l
think, are little short. Let's ask Abe
what he thinks of it.''
Then, turning to Lincoln, he said:
We're talking about the proper length
Of mans legs. We think yours are too
long and Douglas too short, and we'd
like to know what you think is the proper
q length"
well, " said Mr.. Lincoln, "that's a
matter that I've mover given any thought

first impression is that mans legs ought
to be long enough to reach from his body

Capital is international, and il

sucked orange of America may be
cast aside like Egypt, Argentine,

The sting of this editorial, like
other venomous stings, is at the
tail, whore proof is given of the
identity of interest between the
producer of 5 cent cotton, so cent
wheat and the railroad boys. 1t
says:
''Such, then, are some of the
features of the year 1895 that come
home to mems pockets and bosoms.
Each purveys some food for
thought and seems to impose pru-
dence that need not be anxiety.
One fact, clear as the sun at noon,
is that American transportation
has to cut its expenditures. A
smart share of this cut must per-
force fall upon the pay rolls"
Ye railroad men who believe that
the railroads will hesitate before
inviting another great strike take
these inspired writings as your
answer from triumphant plutoc-
racy. Dividends and interest must
be maintained until the people own
and operate the roads, and you are
doomed like blind Sampson to
grind corn for the Philistines until
you grasp the pillars of monopoly's
temple on election day and drag it
down. From the ruins of private
monopoly the people will build a
temple of universal prosperity in
scribed, collective ownership of all
the means of production and dis
tribution.

poly is not likely to become in IA
vOr of it simply because his party
platform may have no plank de-
claring against it. The only way
to destroy the money power is for
all its opponents to get into one
party organized for that purpose.
Then when this is accomplished
what is to hinder the friends of
government ownership of all natu-
raj mOnOpolies from getting togeth-
er and making clean fight on that
question and then the same with
land monopoly. OF course we
know that there is a class of dema-
gogues who will profess to be so
patriotic as to fight to the death
for the whole platform, but we do
not think that class of men is COM
petent to lead any body to victory,
but always to death. We no doubt
risk getting the antagonism of this
class in taking the stand we do,
but we do it honestly and for what
we believe to be the good of the
whole people. Destroy the power
of the gold gamblers and banking
monopoly and it will be easy to ac-
complish the balance, but to fight
our friends who may not agree with
us on all, but weakens us and gives
the enemy greater strength. The
threatened revolt of the extreme
socialists will not weaken us, but
bring us greater force from the
conservative element. Let us win
the silver fight at all hazards first.
Then oil to victory along other
lines.-Battle Flag.

A Note Of
From the Watchman.

From the Watchman.
The more we consider the prop
ositiOn of single issue on financi-
al reform the more necessary II
appears. Had we doubted it pre-
viously, the action of the st. Lou
is conference would have confirm
ed us fully in the idea. For years
we have contended that the two
old parties were afraid to make a
fight squarely upon the financial
system of this country. We have
charged them in the press and up
on the stump with using the
''bloody shirt" and the tariff in
order to sidetrack the possibility
of such an issue. In making these
charges there is not the shadow of
doubt that we were right. Now,
however, when we have driven
them from point to point, when
the stern logic of events has forced
them to acknowledge that the
question of finance is supreme and
that they are ready to meet it, we
find a few people in our ranks who,
through tactics similar to those of
the two old parties seek to avoid
the issue. Such action is repre-
hensible, and we do not believe it
will be tolerated by the populist
party. We have demanded for
years full and free discussion of
these financial questions before the
people, in order that they might
vote intelligently upon this impor-
tant subject, and now. when the
opportunity is at last secured,
some who claim to be our own peo-
pie seeking to sidetrack the con-
test. This cannot be done, and
those who seek to bring about such
a result will find themselves in a
hopeless minority. The battle for
financial reform is now on, and
none, save the coward or the
traitor will refuse 10 take a part.
That every other reform must wait
settlement of the financial question
is obvious to all who care to know
the truth. Then let US take hold
like men and patriots and fight the
pending battle to a finish. After
this there will be plenty of time to
consider other reforms as they may
appear. Unless such action Is
