STARVING IN THE MIDST OF
PLENTY

Starving in the midst of plenty!
Why should this sad truth be so?
Why sould honest labor grapple
With the fearful, stealthy foe?
Why should hunger be compelling. i
Men to steal, or starve, and die?
While the costly viands In mansions
Send their odors to the sky?
Starving In the midst OF plenty!
Why should labor walk the street,
Clothed in rags. with weary footsteps.
Dragging on their blistered feet?
Shoes are plenty in the factory,
Shoes by thousands in the store;
Money piled in many bank vaults;
Why should feet be bruised and sore7
Starving in the midst of plenty!
While the fields with grain are white,
While the trees with fruit are laden;
What a strange and awful sight!
Feasts are held by labor's masters.
Eating till they can eat no more,
Few are seated at the tables >
Thousands starving at the door!
Starving In the midst of plenty!
Why: "Sir Grover in the chair7
"O'er production is his answer
Eyes, of tramps and millionaire"
Bonds are ordered, bonds are issued.
And to plutocrats are sold,
Judas sold his lord for silver;1
Cleveland sells his land for gold.
Starving in the midst of plenty!
Mothers weeping DER their dead,
Babies which have slowly perished
Waiting for the needed bread:
While In church the preacher preached;
"God will aid you bye and bye"
Then you vote the same old ticket,
While your starving brethren die.

You come to US and tell US that the great
cities are in favor Of the gold standard. l
tell you that the great cities rest upon
these broad and fertile prairies. Burn down
your cities and leave our farms, and your
cities will spring up again as II by magic.
But destroy our farms and the grass will
grow in the streets Of every city in thia
country.-W. J. Bryan, at Chicago.

ment, they would enkindle in the breasts
Of the good people of this state the fires
Of religious and race prejudice. This
method of controlling the people against
their own interests is as old as lying. Whole
nations have been Kept in subsection by in
citing the people to war upon each other
because of religious differences, instead Of
combining to war upon the common enemy,
and now in this state the same tactics are
being adopted. To the Irish Catholics it
is whispered and written that Mr.. Lind is
opposed to them because he is a Swedish
Lutheran; to the orthodox member of the
Lutheran Church is IS told that Mr.. Lind
is a Free Thinker, and thus our opponents
realizing that in an open. manly contest
upon the issues of the day they and their
corrupt and blighting policy will be over
whelmingly defeated by the people Of this
state, have resorted to the methods we
have described, trusting that by the use Of
shocking ISLANDERS and Huplicity they may
be able to maintain their hold upon the ad-
ministration of affairs Ii this state.
Mr.. John Lind is an. honest, Christian
gentleman. In his public acts he has
never recognized any creed. sect or nation
ality. His opponents know this, and dare
not openly attack his character. and what
they dare not do openly they are attempt
ing to do secretly. He wages open war
fare; their method is that of the midnight
assassin We brand as falsehoods the
statements now being circulated against
Mr.. Lind, by means Of "confidential." let
ters and paid agents. We warn our
friends to believe no communications re
ceived in this manner. Beware Of the
political roorback or campaign lie circu-
lated late in the campaign.
Do not let our enemies divide our forces
at this time Vote sohdly for Bryan
Lind. and the entire fusion ticket, and feel
that you have aided w your vote in the
magnificent victory which the reform
forces of this state are bound to win in
November. -

"Our Flat" Is a farce pure ana simple

Of The idea OF the farce Is particularly

A Misunderstanding Causes Work to be
suspended on the Theatre.

The work of tearing down the old
Richmond Theatre was temporarily inter
ruptcd yesterday on account Of n mis-
understanding among the ctys authori-
ties
Yesterday morning Colonel W. T.. Cut
shaw. city Engineer. called upon Chief
OF Police Howard and told him that an
agreement had been reached between
Mr.. Fritz Sittcrding. the contractor who
has the work of demolition In charge, and
the Street Committee. whereby the for
mer was allowed TO obstruct Seventh
street from Theatre alley TO Broad. The
Engineer said that MIR. Sitterding was
violating this agreement; that had OBJ
structed the street In front OF the Thea
tire. and must be stopped.
Mr.. Sitterding had previously been re-
ported for obstructing this sidewalk, and
Major Howard promised Colonel cut
shaw that work on the Broad-street side
Of the Theatre should be discontinued
until the court had disposed Of Mr.. Sit
terding's case. Accordingly he went down
and notified the foreman TO suspend work
on that part of the building until further
notice. which the foreman promised to do.
The Major also notified his men to see
that these orders were obeycd. lie then
went 20 his dinner.
Meanwhile "a conference had been held
at the city Hall between the city In
gineer. city Attorney Police Justice, and
Mr. Sitterding at which Mr.. Meredith ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Sitterding
was not violating any ordinance, the
street being DISTRACTED to guard passers-
by from injury, and therefore that he
could 20 ahead.
When Mr.. Sitterdings men resumed
work at ] O'Clock on the front OF the
Theatre. officers Walton and Curl acting
under orders from Major Howard, who
was i'm ignorance Of the conference, or
dered them 10 desist. Upon their re-
fusal to do So the foreman and six work.
men were arrested and taken to the Sec
ond station.
Captain Angle had been duly Informed
of the City Attorneys opinion, and he at
once endeayored TO communicate with
the Chief to secure their relief. Major
Howard was out driving. however. and
could not be reached at that time. so
Captain Angle took the responsibility Of
releasing the men. As soon as Major
Howard returned Captain Angle Informed
him OF his action, which the Chief
promptly approved.
Mr. Sitterding left the city last even
ing on a business trip. but will return to-
night and appear I'm the Police Court to-
morrow morning to answer the charge Of
obstructing the sidewalk. This Is mere
matter Of form, and the case Will doubt
less be at once dismissed.

this important charity was received from
some little girls who live on south Third

that their names should not be published.
They were most valuable contributors to
the ice fund in former seasons. Thus
early they have "given a show" and sent
the proceeds for the poor. Surely to
such little ones will be abundantly given
