President Black.

of banners which had been hung across
the streets proclaimed it to the world.
And if one were to judge by the badges
and buttons worn by citizens, one

western limits. Saturday was the
opening day of the quadrennial con-
vention of the National Association of
Democratic clubs The delegates began
TO arrive Friday, and they have been
pouring i'm on every road that comes
into the city since that time. All morn
ing they gathered in the lobbies Of the
hotels where the curbstone orator
shouted and roared with enthusiastic
energy explaining the money question
and "the true significance of 16 to l..
Then there were BANDS of music of ev-
cry sort and description from the back
woods and from the metropolitan cities
playing patriotic airs. 1t was 1890
o'clock in the forenoon when the del
egates and visitors began to assemble
at the Auditorium, where the conven-
tlon was held and it was almost an
hour later when President G. +. Black
called the meeting to order. At
least 800 delegates were present and
the vast hall was well filled with vis
tors. When the blessing of the Deity
had been invoked the Jefferson Glee
club of several hundred voices sang
the national anthem America. in
which the audience joined. When the
applause following the singing of the
anthem had died away President

RESPECT FOR RICHES.

Why does the world show such
Difference to rich men, even when
they are ignorant of almost every
thing but the art of noney-making
nay, even illiterate? Why does
not only "the learned pate" as
Shakespeare says, but all other
pates, "duck TO the golden fool?"
Moliere has answered the question.
In de Bourgeois Gentilhomme,"
he makes the "Maitre de Musique"
say of a wealthy ignoramus: "He
is indeed, a man whose lights are
small, who speaks blunderipglY of
everything, and applauds in the
most absurd ways; but bis money
redresses the judgments Of his
mind; he has discernment in his
purse; his praises are silvered.
That is the secret. AN opinion,
backed by a million in the banks
a jest dropping from golden or sill
very Iips-has, the one a weight,
the other a brilliancy, which the
utterance of an impe cunious genius
utterly lacks. 1t is pity that
this reverence for ."the golden
fool"-the man whose only claim
to regard is his riches-should
never outlive him. A striking
commentary on the heartlessness
of the friendships professed for the
Cresuses, was furnished by an in
cident in London a few years ago.
Four hundred intimate friends of
a rich man in that city were in
vited to attend his funeral, but
only Twenty-Five went. Eight days
afterward the lawyer of the estate
announced that, according to the
will, each person who had been
present, was entitled to bequest
-23o pounds to each woman, and
200 pounds to each man.-Stan-
dard.

Is the Kansas City, Memphis &

through line from the South and
Southwest to Arkansas, Texas and
the Northwest. Its entire train,
with Free Reclining Chair Cars,
Pullman Palace Sleeping Cars and
first-class DayCoaches run through
from Birmingham to Kansas City,
crossing the Big Bridge at Mem
phis, and making close connections
at that point with Arkansas and
Texas through lines. Via this line
through Pullman sleeping car is
run daily from Jacksonville, Fla,
via Macon, Atlanta, Birmingham
and Memphis, and from Jackson
vile, Atlanta and Macon to St.
Louis and Chicago via Holly
Springs and the Illinois Central
railroad
Vestibuled sleeping car also
runs daily, New York to Memphis,
without change, via Washington,
Greensboro and Atlanta, in con-
nection with the Pennsylvania
railroad and Southern railway.
The Kansas City, Memphis and
Birmingham railroad, in its equip

feature essential to quick and
comfortable travel, is not exceeded
by any railroad in the country.
