The pop financial school was called
to order Saturday night at about the
usual hour with about twenty schol-
ars in attendance. The minutes OF
the last meeting and a set of bylaws
were read and adopted. An inter
esting feature of the latter is that no
member is eligible to hold Office fol
more than one month,-and there il
goes again! We learn that the
school has been christened the Wau.
bay Peoples Party League, and il
meets every Saturday evening to re.
ceive names and funds, discuss the
financial problems of the day, and
read a chapter in some dime novel
and there it goes again At the
last meeting, the school let up a
little on silver and the nvtionaI
banks. Several on being called or
made a few remarks upon their own
subjects one spoke upon the con,
traction of the currency, allowing
that his property was worth $1,000
and the currency contracting once
would reduce the property one-hali
or $500, the second time one-hali
more or $3.50, and so on. He was
interrupted by someone saying, eli
a mortgage was put upon it for $3.50
'twould take it',-and there it goes
again /! The school was characters
tic for its dramatic recitations. On
motion, "Han's" letter and the ar
ticle about monkeying with the buzz.
saw in the Clipper was read. One
spoke in general against the Repub,
licans and particularly the Republi-
can politicians, and advised everyone
not to monkey with the Republican
buzz-saw /; after which, by motion
prevailing, it was concluded not to
monkey with the Republican buzz.
saw,-and there it goes again |! One
very important question was asked
by n of the elder scholars, one
who, by the way, expects to gradu,
ate this term, "what act or law had
been enacted by either the Repub.
licans or democrats since 1873 that
has benefited the country 7" He
had asked the question at every
session, and would keep on asking
it until it was answered. Another
scholar, in the heat of excitement
and probably before he thought
twice, answered by saying the Nc
kinley law. This, apparently, was
too good an answer, and the one
asking the question, to take off
the effect, wanted to know if the
Wilson law wouldn't more offset
it,-and there it goes again /! The
last thing on the program was the
reading of chapter | from Ig. Don
nelly's great dime novel entitled
"l6 to 1",-and there it goes again !
