lection toHlE liberty and property.

We oppose all sumptuary Legislation. no matter under what disguise, and de- mand that the citizen be left free to pursue his own happiness without mn. necessary interference by the govern ment.
 s. We believe that the issue of green. backs by Republican congress under the lmperious exigencies of a great civil war. and which were then declared to be temporary expedient, and their re. tentlon i'll circulation by subsequent congressional action has contributed to mlseducate and debauch the public mind on questions of finance more than all other causes combined. It has misedu. cated our people as to the proper finan- cial functions of the government and has rendered to the propagation of fiat lstlc ideas now so current in the land. It has misled many Of our people into the belief that the government can cre- ate values with it's stamp, and their con stant redemption and reissuance has more than once nearly bankrupted our treasury and enabled the money chang CTS to rob the people
 We demand the immediate retirement of this government from the banking business and that the law authorizing the reissuamce of the treasury notes shall be repealed and such promises be retired and cancelled We favor the establishment of a safe system of bank ing under rigid government supervision in order that the people of this country may have at all times sound, safe and elastic currency, amply sufficient for the transaction of their business.
 9. We congratulate the country that thus far the credit and the honor of the nation has been maintained by the patriotic and untiring efforts of Presi- dent Cleveland and his secretary of the treasury, John G. Carlisle, in the un- equal battle which they have so long waged against the combined strength of the cormorants of Wall and Lombard streets and bullionaires of the silver mountains, aided and nbetted by two congressman so grossly incompetent as not to know the right and so unpatri- otic and dishonest as to prefer their own political and financial aggrandizement to the good of their country. and we call upon all good citizens to add to our own their unqualified and hearty in- dorgement of Cleveland and Carlisle, two pure and unselfish patriots
 10 We condemn the methods adopted by those who have been interested with the management of the affairs of the Democratic party in Texas, they having used the same solely for the purpose of retaining the present administration in this state, and by which the true De- mocracy Of this state was in a manner disfranohised at the primaries, and therefore tha socalled Democratic noml- nations at Fort Worth have no binding force upon any true Democrat in this state

BIG FAILURE AT NEW YORK.
The House That Succeeded A. T. Stew.
 art x Co Goes Under,

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-The drygoods hrm of Hilton, Hughes dS Go. fonee A. T. Stewart < Co.) has made an assign ment to G. NJ. Wright The figures are not yet obtainable.
 Among the banks on Wall street the Failure of Hilton, Hughes 6 O., is re- garaed as due to the gradual decline in business. The firms credit for the last hve years has been badly impaired and IL Is understood the company has been taking stock for several weeks past and recently was understood to have re. celYed $750, 000 which had been used in reducing the liabilities of the firm.
 MT. Wright was not at his office when the reporters called, but i'll his ab- senee the clerk answered the questions. The trouble was caused by the strin- geney in the money market,o he said. Tt was found ill justice to creditors that this was the best way of liquidat- ing the affairs of the firm. It is impos- slple 10 make any statement at present. One will be issued later. More than that am not at liberty to say.n

How had he achieved It? All, he sue

all geniuses, his plan was simplicity
itself He went to a manager and the
manager told him the kind Of plot he
wanted BY little manipulation. in fact,
he extracted from the manager all the
plot that was necessary for his purpose.
Then he went to the star and had the
star write the speeches he was to make
and arrange the scenes he was 10 appear

did likewise. Ditto with the villain. Even
so with funny man, who furnished all his

Summer time comes during the time of

site: the swans are all black and the
eagles white; the male lays eggs, and has
a bill like a duck: the native dogs never
bark; the serpents have tails like fishes
and wings like bats; the prickly pear
grows to be a tall tree, and the poplars
and oaks seldom grow above five feet in
height: the elm has hairs in place of
feathers: the birds are without song, the
sun is in the north al noon; the chief riv-
ers flow inland. the pear trees Grow
fruit that is beautiful to look upon but
which when ripe. Is as hard as though
fashioned from the wood OF the tree
itself: the leaves of the trees all stand

fruits; the peas are poisonous. the oaks
bear no acorns: the Chestnuts are without
burr, and, i'm many instances. the trees
are hollow, with the bark on the inside.

WATER FOR LONDON.
A Vast English Enterprise Proposed to
,fest Growing Public Demand


A Vast English Enterprise Proposed 10
dert a Growing Public Demand.
From the Chicago Post.
From accounts published in the Eng
lfsh papers it appears that the project
favored by Mr.. Binnie. the chief official
engineer Of the city of London, for pro-
viding water for that metropolis, is an
enterprise of vast proportions. 1t is
stated that according to the plan pro-
posed the temporary supply of 2lS,OOO,-
600 gallons daily is to cost about $50
OOO. 900. and, for the full supply or
nearly 100000 900 gallons, a sum rising
Slg0, OO0. 600 is estimated to be required
1t seems, too. that when the govern
mCnt commission of eminent engineers
failed to find any reason for assuming
that the present sources of supply could
not be improved and enlarged so as 70
yield some 50f000,000 gallons, the Binnie
enterprise actually contemplates requi-
sitiOns upon the waters of Wales; these
streams are the headquarters of the
Usk. Wye and Tony rivers, the water
sheds lying in the counties of Cardigan,
BrcCon. RadnOr and Montgomery. Sew
cral immense reservoirs are to be con-
structcd for impounding these streams,
and from them are to pass two great
auueducts 80 and 1T6 miles i'm length,
respectivcly-each large enough to car
~ 2t0O10.000 gallons daily. and both to
be covered their entire length.

copy of a London. ont, paper which
contains "A uuutice Of the marriage Of
James Baillie u Miss Eleanor Fitzeus-
tace. II is not known whether or not
this James Baillie is MIssoula's Jim. ."
who is now visiting in London. but II
looks suspicious. IL was not known
that Mr. Baillie contemplated matri-
mony when he left here. as he had
never manifested any of The symp-
toms. but his friends. as is always the
case after such an event transpir,s.
now recall some peculiar actions on
Jim's part which might be construed
TO signify a matrimonial inclination
on his part. More definite informa-
ton is eagerly looked for.
