While IL has often been announced. and
especially by the New York papers, that
Brooklyn Is anxious to come into the new
municipality TO be known as Greater New
York, is seems that there is a strong oppo-
sition to union with New York and a con-
seauent subsection to its Tammany ring
and Plat machine. Brooklyn is a city
of million people. with its own govern
ment and traditions, OF which 1t is justly
proud. Brooklyn's citizens and newspa-
pers are determined to resist annexation
with Its attendant evils, by every means
in their power. Ample evidence of this
is afforded by the number OF people who
have signed petitions opposing consolida-
ton

A POLITICAL sTORMi GEM

The Picayune alluded to Sam.
Louis, the national convention
city, as a storm center. The Chi
cago Chronicle thus reiterates the
names of distinguished politicians
who have made the great Mis-
souri, metropolis q gathering place
very recently. Says the Chroni-
Gle:
"Cyclone" Davis, who has been on the
ground several days, has been Joined by
Tornado TomlInsOn, of Alabama, relic
of the Ia Q Chicago convention. "Cata-
clysm" Coxey and LewelliDg, the "siz-
cling sirocco of the suntlower state" are
registered at the same hotel. "Prairie
Fire Peffer has arrived, travelling on q pass
and Pullman car. ''Waterspoup Wea--
yer, ofIowa, is in full operation and di-
vides honors with "Sandblast" Stone, of
Missouri, and Earthquake Patterson, of
Colorado.
When men so alarmingly char
acterized meet in convention to
settle the affairs of the country,
it is safe to say that the most tenn
pestuous topics will be brought
up, the most disorganizing dis
cussions will be had, the most
convulsive conclusions will be
reached, and altogether stormy
time will be realized. st. Louis

the people,. on the other deposed ty.
rants; on one side peace and liber-
ty, on the other terror, degradation
and the inevitable disintergration Of
the government.
Shall the American nation, proud
and defiant, hesitate In its choice ?
Shall q people whose chief character
ization ie infinite love Of political IL
berty wilfully throw aside the means
Of obtaining it and draw around them
the chains Of bondage and slavery :?
Shall the nation coataminate itself
and become mockery to those ma
tions Of the world which now respect
and fear IL?

silver; nothing short Of government
ownership of railways and banks will
appease their ravenous appetite for
reform.
But the conservative men of the
party are more than satisfied to help
silver through Bryan and Sewall and
no matter what course the old lead
ers pursue they will hold fast to de-
mocracy.
This may be the last popuIlst con-
ventlon, for il the democratlc party
is successful in November and the
free coinage Of silver to follow proves
as beneficial as is claimed, its aim
will be accomplished and consequent
ly can have no further excuse for its
existence; aud, il on the other hand,
free silver coinage is curse they
will realize the impracticability Of
their ether Issues and disso luton
will speedily follow.

There Is just faint rumor to the
effect that Grover Cleveland may
bolt the democratic ticket. Cleve-
land has made for himself reputa.
tion second to none Of his predeces--
sors, but woe unto him if he, as his
last act, turns down. democracy.
Such an action would cast blur over
his name that all his past achieve
ments could not cleanse.

WHY Is MONEY scARCEf

Mr.. Editor-Some people think
this is very hard question to
answer. One man says it is be-
cause silver has been demonet-
lied; another says its owing to the
moneyed men boarding up their
gold because they are afraid of
the "silver craze" of 16 to /.
But, sir, thy whole thing is plain
to your scribe "as. falling off a
greasy log" 1t is simply because
ourexpenses are great. We spend
more money than we make. Eve
rybody now has to wear store
clothes formerly they were WOW
en- and made at home), now they
must have yankee shoes red
ones at that - with sharp toes
looking like a piney woods pigs
nose. Now they have to have
shot guns that break in the mid
die, and patent shells (and a ten
year old boy win waste a whole
day, shoot>away 81 worth of am
munition and if lucky, bring back
five or ten cents worth of birds or
squiriels.) Now they have to
have their fancy phaetons and
top buggies, their streaked wa
gons, their cycles, bicycles and
trycicles, etc. Formerly our
folks walked or rode in daddy's
old wagon, Now we send money
to foreign missions to Mozan.-
bique, to Scamscatsy, to the Fe-
gee Island, etc. Our fathers
never heard of these places. Now
we all belong to some secret So
ciety, all paying out money. Now
every fellow has his property in
sured and his wife's life insured
and his children's lives insured
and his biggest creditor insured,
all of which may be all right, but
it takes lot of money out of the
country. Now as formerly a
great many fellows drink whisky,
but instead of drinking it straight
as our forefathers did, they now
have to have sugar and ice sin
theirn," which doubles expenses.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it is clear to me,
and hope to you that this strin-
gency in the money market" is
not caused 10 much to owing to
the scarcity of the circulating
medium, but on account of our
extravaganza. The adoption Of
the free coinage of silver at 16 to
i or the gold standard will not
relieve our trouble. We must
spend less money or else we else
we will always have hard times.
Economy is the watchward.- -
