Populism' s Boast.

From an address to the POpulist Party.
Brethren, some of you fear that this
campaign will destroy the peoples
party. We have no such apprehension.
It's principles are right, and, being
right, they are immortal. In four years
they have taken possession of the
democratic party, and on November 3
they will take possession of the nation.
In 1892 we had but 100000 votes.
On November 3, 1896, we shall have a
majority of the whole country. We
have not become democrats, but the
democrats have, in the broad sense Of
the word, become populists. We have
not given no our organization. We do
not propose to close the academy be-
cause the first class is about to gradu-
ate with honor.
As the spirit is greater than the
flesh, so the principles of party are
greater than its traditions. We are
educating democracy now from the in
side. We shall find it easier to reach
their convictions as allies than as Op-
ponents. Mems opinions are not fixed
quantities, but fuctuate with events.
If democracy lives up to it's pledges the
alliance, now temporary, may be con-
tinued. If they do not and the forces
have to divide three fourths of their
people will march off under our stand
ards. The banquet is not over with
the soup. MARION BUTLER,
Chairman National Populist Com.

The Law Not Lived Up to by Some One or
Other
What has become Of our registry
lists? The lists Of voters have not
yet been published according to law.
The law says the list of voters shall be
published in some newspaper within
three days after completion of the reg
istry lists This has not yet been: done
and this evening completes the fifth
day since the last day Of the sitting of
the boards.
The law bearing on this point is
found in the Registry and Election
Laws in force April 9, 1896, as fur
nished by the secretary of state to
everybody interested in the election
laws. About the middle of page 19
these words are found:
Within three days after completing
the registry the inspectors shall give
notice by public advertisement in a
newspaper printed in the city, village
or town where such registration was
made, of the registry, and shall include
in such notice all additions to and
omissions from the preliminary lists,
and shall also state when AND where
the election is to be held 5s
It would take a powerful microscope
to find such public advertisements in
Kenosha this fall.

"Why, of course. Get under the bank
and let him have it as soon as he comes

"I-I believe I will,'' he said as he
got under shelter.
I took cover behind the house, and
five minutes later Hopkins reached the
river bank and uttered a warwhoop. 1t
was still echoing when the tavern man
opened fire. He was all of a-tremble,
but he shot SO close that after the fifth

Hopkins turned his horse and galloped
away, evidently badly ratified.

The Tenderfoot,s Dog.

One day as we lay in camp on the Re-
publican fork of the Arkansas river one
of the boys caught big jack rabbit in
a snare and made cage of willows to
keep him for pet. Three days later
! tenderfoOt came along with a hunter
outfit and accompanied by a canine
which looked to be a cross between a
hound and a bulldog. He said he had
bought the dog the day before of
teamster, and that the animal was guar
anteed a match for any three mountain
wolves.
"What dye think of him yourself?''
asked the corporal.

''How much did you pay for him?'
Fifteen dollars. -

served the corporal in careless way
''He looks to me more like runner
.'Have you anything around hels
which can run him?" asked the tender
foot as he bristled up.
Eyes, think have. We captured a
hodog the other day, and think he can
run that dog. -

''Sort of a prairie wolf. There isn't
much fight in 'em,' but there's less in
your canine I'll bet So he runs your
dog out of sight.
eff he does, I'll give you $1OI'
shouted the stranger, who was nettled
over the way the boys were winking and
grinning.
The dog was placed out on the level
beyond camp, and the corporal went aft
er his rabbit. Before bringing him out he
tied his ears over his head with strip
torn from a red handkerchief, and other
strips, were made fast to his body. He
