OUR ARMY AND NAVY,

~
Dan says our army is too small,
And Herbert says "More wal ships We
must build"
And the bill that congress passes
Is evidence of gall
That no Populist or Socialist could
shield.
So the order for the murder ships
will stand,
And Growers call for fifty thousand
strong
Will be filed on time,
By the young blood OF the land.
But now manv millions will JON the
throng.
Our army is too scattered SO they
And the border does need the boys at
hand,
So Olusy, and the railroads,
Will by the first Of May.
Centralize the troops and make a
stand.
Who demands this curse TO our fair
homes?
Not labor! for tits he that paws the bill,
And makes wealth,
On which to base the bonds,
Bonds! One thousand millions Roth
childs' till to fill.
We must meet this coming issue. and
be free,
And our brothers now In uniform will
sing,
Our homes we will protect,
And shout DER land and sea-,
Freedoms happy home this land shall
have no king.
On the bottom all the murder ships
should lay,
And to fill their place ten thousand
schools we'll form,
For the issue of the hour
Is that wrong has its day.
The ballot hox our safeguard with the
Omaha platform.

THE q. s. land commissioner has de-
clded that the lands of the Yankton
agency will not be opened for settlement
until it is decided whether the state OF
South Dakota, can take any OF said
lands as school lands. This decision
will work a hardship on many persons
who had made preparations to setcle
upon the ceeded reservation.

The movement undertaken by q few
of the prominent persons in the populist
party to change the platform Of the
party and make the Issue on the finan-
cial plank alone during the campaign Of
1896 Is growing in favorin some sections
OF the country, but as yet the masses OF
the peoples party stand firmly on the
Omaha platform, believing that placing
in the background such important prln-
cipals will notinsure success in 1896 and
would cause a disentegration Of the
party when 1t come to legislation on
land, transportation and other i'm
tant measures. We recognize the irk-
some position of the popuIist rspresen-
tatives in the house and senate at the
national capital and the wish for an i'm
mediate victory and the schemes OF willy
politicians to divert the attention of the
people from radical measures which
threaten to reduce the profits of capital
invested in many of the great corpora
tions engage in commercial and manu-
featuring, etc. and to adopt measures
which would be only temporary 10 their
character and boom certain industries
and leave other and more important inter
estsi in the lurch. The financial education
of our people is not complete until the
majority Of the nation recognizes that
labor creates all wealth and that money
is simply the representative OF wealth
and that the creators and possessors Of
all kinds of wealth have an equal right
to have the the government issue to
them certificates Of value for circulation
as money; to allow those engaged in
producing gold, silver, copper and other
METALS that enter into the composition
of money when coined or to have issued
to them certificates for circulation as
money based upon the value of their
products when w~arehoused by the gov
eminent is class legislation of the
rankest kind and our leaders in financial
reform will do we'll to require that this
fundamental principle is recognized in
any financial legislation that may be en-
acted or the ground will have to be
fought over again bv this or future
generations OF our people.

round. Last night, Maher, who had been

made Maher feel blue At three this
morning the Shadow went to saloon to

began to guy Maher about his blg"

Critic became enraged, when Maher
twitted him of the cause of his recent I'M

Maher accepted the challenge, and IN a

very drunk, were sparring at great rate

about evenly divided when Critic swung

STARTLING DISCOVERY.
Second Crop of Gypsy Moths About to Ap-
pear-Danger to the Cotton Plant.

Maiden. Mass, Sept. 6.-Messrs. Fl. A..
Ballou and G. q. Rowne. agents in the
State Board of Agriculture, made a
stautling discovery today while at work
in the woods Of Woburn. They found
the eggs of the gypsy moth in process of
Matching and the young caterpillars
crawling from them. These eggs we re
only laid a few weeks ago and their
Matching before the end Of the season
yerifies the worst fears of entomologists
who have predicted that the gypsy moth
might sometime ha We two broods in one
season. If the present warm weather con-
tinues through September and there are
no early frosts, there seems to be moth
ing to prevent a second crop OF gypsy
moths. This means that where the
moths are thick the trees again may be
rayaged and that there may be an addlt-
ional supply of eggs for the gypsy moth
hunters to destroy. But the gypsy moth
force having just been reduced from 800
to $50 men because of the rapid exhaus-
tion of the appropriation. will.be totally
inadeouate to cope with any increase
of the evil Today's discovery is of the
highest importance to southern agricul-
turists. 1t means that in the warmer
climate of the south the gypsy moth
would have two broods regularly each
season. The oaterpillars of the moth
being notorious ravages OF the cotton
plant. the danger to the cotton crop in
case the moth spreads to the south, is
evident.

The Medico.Legal Congress.

New York, Sept. 6.-At the Medicol-
Legal Congress today DR.. Gibier said that
bacteriology was a new science but sec
ond to none. Bacteria he said, could
be turned to more deadly account than
dynamite. Any plague or!disease could
be introduced by the mere Throwing on
water or milk of bacteria. After the
lecture the professor said he could tell
which the CIVILIZATIONS of bacteria could
be put but it would not be good for pub
lie safety. At the afternoon session
President CLARK Bell read paper on
hypnotism. A discussion ensued, in the
course of which DR.. William l. Howard of
Baltimore held : that hypnotisln was a
stern reality. He said he hypnotised sew
eral persons in Baltimore, including his
own servant, whom he had sent to a
neighboring physician to steal everything
the latter had DR.. Howard also said
he hypnotised cashier of a bank and
made him steal So 600. A resolution sa5 ion was

ADMITS ERROR OF MENT.
Captain summers Statement in His Own
Behalf.

Brooklyn, N. Y, September 6.-At the
Sumner court martial today, Lieut.
Mariz read a statement from Captain
Sumner. He would be the first to
acknowledge any wrong he had been
guilty of and that he admitted that he
was partially reprehensible for the first
charge against him, culpable inefficiency
in performance of his duty. He wished
to state in his own defense, however that
when he docked the Columbia at South
ampton, he was acting under explicit and
urgent orders from Washington. The
authorities were familiar with the dock
at Southampton when they directed him
to use it. There was no law, he said,
specifying what a captains duty was un-
der the circumstances, and his duty was
therefore matter OF Judgment. lie
therefore pleaded that the damage to the
Columbia was the result OF an error of
Judgment and did not rise TO the gravity
of the charge.
AS to the second charge Of suffering a
vessel to be hazarded in violation Of the
naval rules. Captain Sumner again
pleaded not guilty. He consulted his
officers at the time, he said, and acted
according to their best Judgment. he be-
lieyed that the subsequent facts proved
that the course pursued was the wisest
one under the circumstances The third
charge was for neglect of duty. The
pro secution held that Capt. Sumner
Should not have paid the bill for dry
docking the Columbia at southampton
without consulting the authorities at
Washington. Captain Sumner said in
efense that he was under orders at the
time to cross the Atlantic at full speed
without delay and he had not sufficient
time to communicate with headquarters
He said that he paid the bill before sailing
because he considered that the most
dignified course under the circumstances.
At the conclusion of the reading of this
statement the court adjourned till ten
O'Clock Saturday morning.
