THE PoPULIsT IDEA.
Judge Kearby's Speech at Convention
Hall, In His Gubernatorial Canvass.

Judge Kearby's Speech at Convention
Hail. In His Gubernatorial Canvass.
Convention hall, on the corner
of Flores and Houston streets, was
we'll filled last night with the
populist, democratic and some few
republican citizens of San An
tonic, for the purpose OF hearing
the speech Of Hon Jerome G..
Kearby, populist candidate for
governor, and who stands splen-
did chance Of defeating the present
democratic governor, Culberson, at
the next election.
Judge Kear6y is a man
Of commanding presence and
good voice and while his words
are plain and unvarnished by ora
toricsl flights and gilded phrases,
he speaks to the people, in their
common language.
He declared the populists would
put out their own national ticket,
despite the efforts of the democrats
at fusion on Bryan, and rapidly
approached the main portion of
his subject by explaining the diff
ferences in the political parties of
the day, dwelling at length on the
financial question, in which he
showed that the populists wanted a
legal tender based on the full
credit of the government and that
it made no difference as to its in
trinsic value so long as it's govern.
ment stamp made it OF value. He
also denounced government bond
issues and the maintaining of the
heavy treasury reserve, declaring
this immense sum should be in
circulation among the people. The
issue of gold, or honest money
could not be, as the gold supply
was inadequate to pay the national
debt or even the appropriations OF
the last congress. The people want
q money that will remain at home,
and this, gold will not do. He
closed with some hot shot at the
railroads and declared the national
government should own and'con-
troll them.
At the ending Of his speech the
announcement was made that the
Populist Central club would meet
tonight in Central garden.
Judge Kearby then left the hall
in company with some friends and
after the cool breeZes outside the
hot hall had famed his perspiring
brow, they adjourned to a saloon
on the way to the judges hotel,
where the next governor took a
straight old Kentucky bracer and
then went to bed in his room. He
left today for San Marcos, where
he will speak tonight and from
there he goes to Austin tomorrow.

THE FAILURE OF THE FIAT.

"An honest dollar, worth 100 cents
everywhere, cannot be coined out OF 80
cents worth of silver plus legislative
fat"
That terse and we'll expressed statement
OF fact was made by Viee-Presidentisl
candidate HoBARr In his speech of ac-
ceptance yesterday.
Silver as compared to gold stands in
the proportion of 81 to today. That is,
one ounce OF gold will buy 80 ounces of
silver, and thirty-two ounces OF silver are
necessary to buy one ounce OF gold. This
ratio is the result of the conditions OF sup
ply and demand. II fluctuates 1t may be
higher or lower tomorrow.
Tho whisk ers Convention now in ses-
sion out in Chicago prop ses to have Con-
grcss pass law providing that fer coin
age purposes one ouncs OF gold shall be
equal to only sixteen ounces OF silver and
that upon that ratio silver shall ho pur-
chased and coined into "dollars."
But the silver collars won't become
10O-cent dollars because OF any such lcgis.
latiye nat. Not much. They will be
worth Just what the international supply
and demsnd make them worth, no more
and no less. The American government
and the American people can call them

idea that they are exchanging "dollars. &"
They can also call six quarts o gallon and

The Board OF Aldermen in Providence
yesterday took up the resolution pre-
viously offered. looking toward the con-
struct ion of n municipal electric lig hting
plant, and after full discussion sstested
the resolution by vote OF six to three.
In the discussion IL was brought out
that the contract between the city ana
the Narragansett Electric Lighting Com
pany would be in force until 1900 at
least. though il was asserted by an ad-
vocate OF tte resolution that the contract
is not binding because OF technical
error. This brought 10 his feet Alder
MAJ Darcy. who had been member of
the committee to negotiate the contract.
He said that. no matter about the techni-
calities, the contract was made in good
faith, and the city was morally bound by
II, an opinion with which majority OF
the Alaermen evidently agreed.
A municipality, like an individual, Is
bound by other things than the techni-
calities OF it's contracts. It's honor snould
be as dear to It's representatives as Is their
own. No man can long stand az the
peer OF his fellows who disregards his own
honor; SO no municipality can AFFORD, II
for no higher motive than Its own vel
fare, 60 forget that II is honor bound as
well a. technically bou nd.

Entering the Navy.

When boy wishes to become a sailor
In the navy he applies to one OF the three
"receiving" ships. They are the Yer
mont at the New York Navy yard, the
Wabash at the Boston yard. and the Rich
mond. at the League Island Navy yard in
Philadelphia. The boys must be between
IA and 16 years Of age, sound in health,
and be able TO read and write to some
extent. No distinction is made in race,
and 1t Is singular fact that the coioreu
boys who apply are almost invariably
able to read and write better than the
white boys. On board the Vermont
the only reading test applied is contained
on a card, which Is as follows:
"Be 1t enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States
in Congress assembled, that fraudulent
enlistment and the receipt OF any pay
or allowance hereunder Is hereby declar-
ed an offence against naval discipline,
ana made punishable by general court
martial.
"What have Just read to you Is
law OF the United States, and Ii means
that II you do not tell the truth about
your age, parents, or guardian, or III you
are q deserter from the naval or military
martial, be put in prison or punished
IN some way"
The last taragraph OF this is what bows
are usually required to read. The Off GERS
are not very strict about the hard words,
and SO almost any boy can pass the test.
After being admitted Uncle Sam gives
each boy an outfit. His parents or
guardian must sign paper giving him
to the government until he is q years
Of age. He becomes known at once as
third-grade apprentice, and in few
days he is sent to training school at
Newport, where he Is taught rudimen-
tary things about q sailors life and
work. After remaining at Newport for
six months he is transferred to one OF
two training ships. These are.the Essex
and the Alliance. He remains on one OF
these six months, and takes a cruise. On
the voyage he learns how to handle the
sails, how to sew and splice, and how to
handle guns. Innumerable other things
about sailor'slife he also picks up, and
when he returns he is transferred to
modern man-o'-war, where he becomes
an apprentice of the second class. Here
he takes his place with the regular crew,
and has bis allotted share of the daily
routine to perform. He Is examined
every three months, and usually he be-
comes an apprentice OF the first class In
six months, when he has q rank which
corresponds to the rank OF seaman with
sailors. -Harper's Round Table.

Cuba,s White House.

The garrison consists generally Of about
1100 men, well armed, commanded by
the Secretary OF War himself, General
Roloff. Although no attack from the
Spaniards is to be feared, and but few OF
them have to be on duty as sentries in
the paths and entrances OF the labyrinth,
they are by no means idle. Some help
the field laborers and attend the cattle,
whilst others are always busy in the
different factories which have been estab-
Iisbed there, and Others, finally, attend
to drill and thoroughly prepare for mill
tary service the new recruits, OF which
there is always a large number at Cu bitas
awaiting to be provided with rifles.
Thus the traveller will not feel admira
tion only for the self-denial and courage
of these heroic men whose life is devoted
to the sacred cause of the independence
of their country. He will not fail to re-
mark at seeing them SO orderly engaged
upon their different tasks that they well
deserve to have their "Mhite House"
transferred to the Havana Government
Palace.
There are In Cubitas several smith ana
carpenter shops where the patriots guns
are repaired, tan.yards and harness fac
tories, and In a hut, far apart from the
rest, gun-powder Is made from the guano
gathered in the famous caverns with
which the Cubitas mountains are so
picked up at the battle-nelds are refilled,
to be sent, as good and useful as IL they
were new, to the army In operation.
Another bohio, built with extreme
care, larger than any of the Others, is
used as hospital for the wounded and
sick, under the direction OF eminent
Cuban physicians, with the assistance OF
some Of the women of that patriotic coll
ony who volunteer 10 act Ms angels OF
charity in the wild solitude.

Behold how true has Fred foretold,
For Dedham now il shy,
And all her social circles point
At him ana say: "Oh. fol"

To any sort OF tning,
And he may have to leave the choii
Where he Is won't to sing.
Tne Mite Society Is down
On him for what he's done,
And though 1t needs President
He doesn't dare to run.
The Church Fairs open to him yet,
Despite his silver SIN,
But simply so because it is
The cash that takes him in.
The Sewing Circle, by q voto
Unanimous and plain,
Decline to let him ever come
To tea with them again.
Tho Literary Club have writ. q
Their resolutions down,
To wit, that he shan't visit thels
Whenever he's in town.
The Mothers Aid soctety
Have voted that IL he
Should visit them, they'll spank him 50
He'll have to stand at tea.
The Singing School decline to let
Him Join their tuneful thropg;
They say his silver notes are not
Adapted to their song
The Rosebud Social Club declare
They're going to shut tho door,
And never play a kissing game
With "that thing" any more.

That socially she'll not
Grant recognition to q man
