ways taken deep interest in public Ques-
tons, the issues then being decided were
comparatively new to me, as the people Of
New York and the East had not the same
object lessons brought so near to them as
here in the West. My political sympathies
were at once enlisted, but being poor and a
stranger in new country all my time was
devoted to building up business and a
home. They were right in their issues, but
it Is only at long intervals that the public
mind can be worked to that pitch Of pat
ri0tism and courage sufficient to break
away from the tyrants of party discipline.
I have always personally enjoyed your
victories and sympathized in your defeats.
You have constantly battled for the right Of
the masses against organized robbery and
spoliation. For twenty years have in q
quiet way battled for silver. believe that
issue to be Of more Importance to the bust
ness interests and welfare Of the masses
than all others combined. The great ques-
ton that presents itself is how to make
success assured. With divided vote upon
that great issue upon two or more candi-
dates is to insure defeat. All the power OF
official position and wealth will be brought
to bear to bring about the division. Is
there patriotism enough among the leaders
to sink all personal ambition for the
achievement Of success and the election of
q straight out silver candidate to the presi-
dency and delegations to congress? With
out being an active participant, but look
ing at the situation as 1t presents itself
from the standpoint Of private citizen,
the great effort, 1t seems to me, should be
made to smother all personal feelings in
an earnest effort for the general good.

STRONG COLORADO RESOLUTIONS.
CLEAR VIEWS WELL PUT.

CLEAfL VIE VIZ w ELL O4s
Editor Representative:
The Populists of Leadville, the great
silver camp, have instructed their dele
gates to work for the re-adoption OF the
principles Of the Omaha platform at st.
Louis. send a copy Of the resolutions
herewith. We are earnestly working for
free silver coinage, but not at the ex-
pense of any other Populist doctrine.
Yours truly. E. T. TUCKER,
Secretary P. B. Co. Com.
Leadville, Col, June 26.
The following are the resolutions:
1--WE, the Peoples party of Lake coun-
ty, in convention assembled, reaf1rm our
belief in the wisdom and justice of the
principles advanced by the Omaha plat
form.
-Four years ago the national Republic
can and Democratic parties made their
fight on the tariff alone, and openly de-
clared that the silver question was not
worthy their attention.
"The Peoples Party, assembled at Oma
ha to voice the popular demand for
necessary measures of relief, ignored the
sham fight over the tariff schedules and
laid down the broad proposition that gen.
eral prosperity can be permanently re-
stored to our country by radical reform in
our money, land and transportation laws.
AS the first great issue they made their
battle cry free silver coinage at the ratio
of Is to 1, and an American system of
finance Independent of all the world. The
logic of events has proven the wisdom Of
that demand, and today we find both old
parties rent in twain by principle that
then was beneath their notice.
-Four years agitation on Populistic
lines has put the fear of God in the hearts
of men like Teller and Tillman, and has
made them as valiant FOR the right as AL
len, Butler, Simpson or Weaver. It is a
significant truth, and one which we call
the thoughtful attention of all friends of
publican came from a state strongly
moved by the leaven of Populism, and no
silver Democrat is ever found in state
where our party Is unknown.
'In 1892 the producers of the country,
grcaning beneath the weight of unfair
railroad rates, joined hands with the
countless victims of city landlordism in
making the silver issue their own. This
year, from every Populist state conven-
tCn has come revival of friendly
pledges of support to the cause of silver,
and it would be the basest ingratitude
for us to desert them later, when they
shall ask our aid in securing better land
and transportation laws; therefore be it
Resolved, That in justice to all our
friends in other states, this convention
explicitly instructs it's delegates to use
every proper means to secure the re-adop-
ton Of the fundamental principles Of the
Omaha platform at the coming st. Louis
convention, with free silver coinage at
the ratio of Is to of gold, as the first de-
mand to be secured. Furthermore, we
heartily favor union of all reform forces
and instruct our delegates to instruct for
its achievement; and if concessions be
found necessary to attain this end, let
them be made up in the candidates nomi-
mated, but not in the sacrifice Of any
Populist principle

OF, the Khallfa slatin saws that after


the Mahdrs death, he and his followers
entered into the widest excesses--
drunkenness, riotous living and de-
bauchery of every sort; and they sntis-
fed to their fullest extent the vicious
passions which are so prevalent among
the Soudanese." When this state of af-
fairs became known, many tribes revolt
ed and secured their independence; es-
pecially those who were not permitted
to share in the plumber secured in the
raids against adjacent states. Since
1891 Osman Digma has lost quito num-
Der of battles, and the Khalifa's power
was on the wane until the terrible defeat
of the Italian troops at Adowa. That
event inspired him with hope of new
conquests, and he forthwith declared
.'holy war" against Egypt. Great
Britain, whose interests in Upper Egypt
and the Soudan are paramount, accept
ed the challenge and ut once started an
expedition up the Nile. H..a
The Soudan, for whose possession
Great Britain and Egypt are about to
risk millions of money and thousands
of lives, includes all the richest prov
ince of the Upper Nile. IteXtends from
the frontier of Upper Egypt for dis
lance of nearly 1,400 miles southwark
to Lake Albert Nyanza, with n total
area of about 100000 square miles.
and with a population estimated at
100000. 1t includes the region of
Darfur, reduced to Egyptian rule in
1874; Kordofan, in 1921; Upper Nubia
and Senaar, in 1922; the Zeriba lands OF
the White Nile basin, organized and adj
ministered by the Egyptian governments
1s7o-72, and since held partly by
Emin Pasha until relieved by Stanley
in 1889. This territory was placed
under a governor-general, with head.
quarters at Khartoum, at the confluence
OF the White and Blue Nile. Since the
Mahdi's revolt SualSim, Berber and
Zeilah have been occupied by the Brit
ish, Massowah by the Italians and
Lower Dongola by the Egyptians. After
the Mahdi's death the Khalifa formally
established the Soudanese capital mt
| Omdurman, poor town which has
since become one of the most beautiful
and artistic cities in the Moslem world.
The Khalifa and Osma Digma have
waited for years for chance to conquer
the foreign invaders; and when the
Abyssinians under King Menelek had
defeated the Italians at Adowa strong
force of dervishes was sent toward
Kassala to exterminate the Italian gar
rison stationed at that fortress. Sue
cess would mean to them not only plum
der, but restoration of the prestige
which they have been losing ever since
1891 and assure their continuance in
power. The capture of Kassala would.

% Although the Mahdi sSsas n natural
diplomat, he was not a born soldier;
aud his wonderful successes as q con-
aueror were due mainly TO Osman Dig
na, who Is still,the military head of the
Dervishes. This adventurer, whose real
nsme is George. Nisbet, was born IN
Rouen, France, in 1896. Early in life
he driftod into Africa, and became a
slave trader at Khartoum. When the
Mahdist excitement was yet in its in
cipiency, he identified himself with 1t
and shared in all the glory and profits
of that strange enterprise. i
The Khalifa Abdullah, present po-
tentate of the .Soudan, has fniled to Sc
cure tie hold on his subjects which
made his predecessor's ventures so start
lingly successful. Ell Mahdi claimed To
be messiah, and although he was
tyrant was looked upon By his people
us a man sent from .fllah-a person who
could DO no wrong and who could only
be defeated In war by the faithlessness
Of his soldiers. His death by smallpox
was great blow to the bigoted der
wishes who expected to see him trans
lated as WINS Elijah of old; and many of
them never recovered their faith IN his
claims. Abdullah, instead of concili-
citing these fanatics, prosecuted them
vigorously and laid barren scores OF
prosperous districts whose inhabitants
refused to worship ut his shrine; and
the fertile plains over which the western
Arabs roamed are nov occupied by wild
animals. Satin Pasha, an Austrian
officer and an intimate friend of the IN
fortunate Gordon, who was for many
years prisoner in the camp OF the
Mahdi, says that the latter preached
remuneration; inyeighed against earth
iy vaaities and ranks, and anyone who
cast the slightest doubt on the divine
nature of his mission lost his right hand
aud his left foot"

AS YOURSELF.
Three Essential Points In True Love for
Your Neighbour.

Three Essential Points In n True Love for
Your Neighbour.
Without love there can be no life, but
only selfishness, war and destruction.
The vitalsquestion Is how much to love
my neighbor. Only the lord cananswer
"As yourself" That makes homoge-
neous, cooperating body, everyone help
full to everyone else. That's the theory.
What can be the. practice,
!. Love is not to go to our set merely,
but to Samaritans, negro, Chinaman,
drunkards or disreputable persons.
2. 1t does not consist in moncy-giving
merely, but also in self-giving, as Christ
gave, and rs the man gave to the Samari-
tan.
3. We love ourselves with due dis
elimination when we allow only such
foods, rests and pleasures as are con-
sistent with a vigorous, enterprising,
aggressive manhood. To feed, clothe
and give pleasure to anyone so as to take
away the necessity for earnest, forceful
character, is not love nor duty, but a
crime. Many toll heroically themselves
but leave their children in idleness.
This is not love. Many give money
without Investigation, and so help to
swell the army OF idlers and tramps.
This is not love, but laziness, the easiest
way of getting rid of a disagreeable i'm.
portunity.
The Lord did not heal all sick nor feed
all corners. He rebuked those who
came to Him only because they did eat
of the loaves and were filed. He left
them to go hungry. The whole arrange
ment of the universe is on the plan: "He
that will not work shall not eat" But
the sick and feeble poor, the helpless
children, we have with us always, that
there may be n field for the development
| for our love until we are Christlike.
The principal outgoing of Christ's
love WINS to elevate men in ideas. purity,
and character in n capacity and ability
to take best care of themselves and 9th
ers. Our best work Is for men S mental
and spiritual education. Bishop III. w.
Warren, in S. S. Times.
