One of the funny propositions made in the
Texas Populist convention was a resolution
that the State platform be copyrighted, so that
the Democrats might be proven ted from steal

Democrats have been following SO closely at
the heels of the Populists that the latter begin
to be annoyed, and to fear that soon they will

In all the region east of the mountains and
distant from the gulf coast the nights are but
little less hot than the days, sleep is less re-
freshing than in California, and the resident
becomes debilitated and hence suffers the
more. Chicago often gets relief that is denied
to St. Louis by breezes from Lake Michigan,
but she also sometimes gets hot winds from
the prairie to the west and south which rarely
reach st. Louis. In all that region out of door
work is often suspended during the hot weather
because it becomes dangerous.
