BOoth's Female Warriors Adopt Cadet
Hiuc rs Their Color.
New York, March o0.--A revolt has
occurred among Gods American Volun-
teers. 1t didn't last long, but there was
a lively time at Commander Booths
Headquarters. The trouble was over
the color of the uniform of the lassies.
A large number of the new volunteers
are young women. many of them are
good looking. When they read the other
day that it had been decided that
brown should be the color of the
women's uniform they concluded that
they didn't like that Color. They got
together informally, talked the matter
over and went in n body to see Com
mander Booth. He referred them to
Mrs. Booth and the delegation had a
long talk with her.
The upshot Of the matter was that It
was decided to change the color of the
women's uniform from brown to cadet
blue. The color and trimmings of the
bonnets will be changed to conform to
this shade.
Another change in the new organiza-
tion will affect its name. 1T will be
known as 1.-The American Volunteers"
There are objections. Commander
Booth said. TO bringing the name Of the

Again, do the Populists remember
the memorable contest between, then
Representative Blanchard and Judge
Hall, for the lower house of Con-
gress? Did not Blanchard indorse
the Ocala Demands in toto, save the
sub-treasury plank? Certainly he
did, and more: In several public
speeches he declared that while the
sub-treasury plank was unc0nstitu-
tiODal, because then Senator Carlisle
said so, still when there was ''thrown'
upon it the calcium light of debate
(the quoted words are his) and there
could be evolved therefrom some
thing which could gain the sanction
Of law, he would support that too.
He went further-he said he would
interest his ablest genius to bring for
ward something which the constitu
ton would indorse, and he would
support the same. Aud right here,
The Progress asks the Populists it
this ia not SO? Aud believing thew
