"N hop" will come from the iron lungs
of the commander and all the invaders
will shout, Mckinley
Immediately following the flares from
full 200 fiery fam beaux will shoot into the
air and the peaceful people of the City of
the Angels will know that the Republican
Alliance has the freedom of their city.
There is never anything small about the
Alliance. They are as magnanimous as the
doctrine they uphold. and when the inyi-
tation to go to Los Angeles was received
it was at once resolved that a few mem
bers should not drift there like corporals
guards cast adrift, but that they should go
in body. They must go with glory and
return with more, so a special train was
chartered, uniforms were renewed or re-
furnished. and with flags, banners, music
and torches the Alliance will leave the
mole on Friday night amid the cheers of
those less fortunate than members of the
organization.
And they will not forget their mascot.
The colored gentleman who carries the
large transparent globe at the head of
every Alliance procession will not be per-
mitted TO remain behind. Considera BILE
doubt exists in the minds of many as to
the real name of the Alliance mascot. At
a recent cake-walk at the Macdonough
Theater John" was introduced to the au-
dience as "Mr. Hanifin" John Is a fix
ture at Hanifn's, which is in close prox-
unity to the Athenian Club, which en-
braces several members of the Alliance.
therefore John is a necessity in more
ways than one, and Commander Gaskill
or President Morrroni will not walk with
half the pride that will cause Johns
bosom to heave when he twirls the globe
at Los Angeles.
Up to 8 o'clock tonight about 100 berths

MORE BESIDES CURTIS.

All the Republican candidates for
congress in California are occupying the
same position regarding the national
platform as that of Congressman Cur
tbs of this district. The Los Angeles
Express Rep.) endorses their position
in the following editorial:
The state and district conventions
were unanimously for silver and the
California Republican candidates for
congress stand on that platform. They
are pledged to vote for silver ana they
did vote for silver every time they had
a chance in the present congress of
which they are members with a single
exception. At that same time they
voted for other Republican measures.
If they are reelected they will IN
dOubtedly do the same thing again. If
they do not they will be recreant to
their trust and will deserve defeat.
A congressman represents the district
from which he comes, and it is his duty
to obey the wishes of the majority Of
his constituents or resign. We are sat
isf1ed that the Repu bHcans from this
state will take that course.
Congressman Bowers, in an open let
ter, has defined his position very clear
~. He says he is a Republican and
silver man. That he viii vote with the
party on everything but silver, but that
on that point he will vote for silver, re-
gardless of how the rest of the Repub-
Hcans vote. That is the logical position
to take.

SOME DoN,Ts.

It is not only wicked but it is bad pol
ftics to try to deceive the people, there
fore in all kindness We submit to the
gold bug orators and newspapers the
following list of don'ts:
Don't tell the people that there was
but IS, 600 900 of silver coined during
a hundred years of free coinage. 1t is
not true.
Don't tell the people that the balance
of trade is against the United States. as
those who don't know better viii soon
find out that it is false.
Don't tell the people that free coin
age viii make a so cent dollar and at
the same time that it viii double the
They will readily see that it could not
do both.
Don't tell them that hard times and
the low price of commodities are due to
a Democratic tariff They will not be-
lieve it unless you can prove 1t and you
can't do that.
Don't try to convince the people that
what Wall street wants is best for
them. 1t has an appearance of i'm
pIODd D4lAly Oh us lace anu HAAA A40L NC
readily accepted.
Don't say that gold is the money of
the world. It is not true. Gold is not
the money of any little bit of the world
except when it is made so by govern
ment. by law, by fat. In international
exchange it is measured by the scales
and not by the stamp which is on it.
Don't say that under free coinage,
foreigners would pay US in silver while
we would be compelled to pay them in
gold. 1t is absurd. We do not owe
any gold. We are not forced to buy
from people who demand gold.
Don't tell the people that the tariff
is the main issue in this campaign. It
is a waste of time. They will not have
it that way.

That the fambeau clubs Of Shawnee

Fall Festival is an assured fact And
that Topeka will see during the festt-
val the very finest and largest fam
bean display the world ever saw is
doubly assured one.
With both the Republican and Dem
ocratic Fambeau clubs, 100 strong each,
the finest clubs of their kind in the
United States. and the Mission town
ship mounted fambeau club of the
same number, Topeka will have a
mammoth affair.
The displays given in all the princi
pal cities of the United States by both
our Democratic and Republican clubs
have been applauded loudly by the
press and public.
In none of these away from home
displays have more than 60 or 20 men
participated.
What then will Topeka and Kansas
see when 300 men are turned loose on
Kansas avenue with fireworks?
A hambeau parade five times as big
as any city ever saw.
In addition to this there will be sew
eral hundred marching clubs uniform

you and trust you will put US on your

Washington. July 14.-An appeal for
the observance o f a Bird day in the
schools throughout the country has
been made by the agricultural depart
ment. The object is to devote the day
to be set apart once a year or to be
combined with "ArbOr day" to in

birds and the means of protecting them
from wanton destruction.
The idea originated with Superin-

POST'S COMMENT.
It Holds Bryan Up as an Ideal Ameri-
can Nan

Washington, July 1.-THE. Washing
ton Post in an interesting sketch of
Bryan speaks of him as follows: In
many respects Bryan's career furnish
es the highest commentary on the
American system of self-gOvernnent.
If il is government for the people and
by the people, Bryan is its broadcast ex-
ponent. He is one of the people and he
has nobody to point to but himself as
the maker of his political fortune.
While he never worked on a tow path
like Garfield, split rails like Lincoln or
tanned hides like Grant, he has neither
family influence nor wealth to thank
fO= his prominence He is distinctly
self-made man. OF the silver which he
champions he has little. Of gold he
probably has less. His nomination is
vindication of the sturdy Democracy
which the party processes that nomina-
ted him.
