A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

Bright and Interesting was the
program presented at the entertain
ment given last evening for the
benefit of the Catholic Sunday
School. Ii was thoroughly enjoy
ed by every one who occupied a
seat in the opera house. The audi
ence was large and showed its APP
probation of the various features
presented by generous applause
The performance opened with a
song "Ten Little Sunflowers," IN
whichIten pretty little girls repre-
scented sunflowers. "Phe Minuet." a
recitation by Miss Alice Raphael,
was rendered with grace and ex-
preston. ''Long Ago." a song, was
sweetly sung by Miss Katie Hicks.
being followed by a Saeieau.
A lsughable scene was presented in
The tabIeau Somebody Numbered"
which followed, presenting two eye
lists whose wheels had coIlided.
Miss Sarah Kowalski next recited
Searching for the Slain" This was
presented in very realistic style,
and Miss Kowalski's expression and
acting were very effective. A strik-
ing tableau concluded the piece.
Three pretty girls and little boy,
who was equally as pretty, posed in
the tableau representing the Virgin
attended by angels. The concluding
feature of the performance was a
farce, entitled "a Slight Misunder-
standiag," bright laughable little
piece, in which the performers ac-
quilted themselves very well, with
but one small drawback-some Of
them not being quite sword per-
feet" The acting, however, was
good. Those taking part were
Misses Matte Wildman and Marian
Forss the, Messrs. j. P. Putegnat, f.
I. Hicks. and Herbert Sherwood jr.
Cake and lemonade were dispens-
ed afterwards, and this also proved
very interesting feature OF the
evening. A number OF beautiful
pieces of fancy work we're also dis
posed of at good prices.
THE HERALD did not learn the
amount of the receipts, but it will
doubtless add neat sum TO the Sun
day School fund. The ladies who
arranged this bright affair and car
ried it out SO successfully deserve
much praise for their efforts.

ly revealed and boldly avowed in the plat
form adopted. In this they do not stop
with an unqualified declaration for that
silver heresy which portends national
dishonesty and beckons such panic as
this country has never known. Their
declaration of principles" is a reckless
revolutionary pronunciamento charged
with POpulism and communism. They
denounce the issue of government bonds
in time of peace and thus declare for ma
tiOnal reputation and against the power
of the government to avert panic. They
even deny to every citizen the right to
protect himself against the danger of free
silverism by private contract.
They do not conceal their purpose of
assailing that bulwark of republican gov
ernment the federal judiciary, by pack
ing the supreme court in order to sweep
away the constitutional barrier erected
by it to a POpulistic income tax, and they
more than hint at cOmmunistic contisca-
ton by demanding such a tax as will
reach wealth" Nor do they hesitate to
deny, as Altgeld and the anarchists have
loudly done, the right of the federal gov
eminent to assert it's authority for the
preservation of order and the protection
of life and property when menaced by
mob violence and lawlessness.
The wild Jacobins who have raided the
Chicago convention can not go before
the people as the Democratic party or
under it's standard. They have not only
repudiated the cardinal principles of
Democracy and cast to the winds it's time
honored traditions. but they have wan
tonly denounced the only Democrat who
has led the party to victory since the war
and the one who has done the most to
save it from the suicidal fate which has
now overtaken it. They have launched a
new party and must sail under its colors
the party of silverism, reputation and
POpulism.
This raises an issue as single and di-
rect as that raised in 81. 1t was then
Union against secession, the national
flag or the Confederate flag. 1t is now
patriotism against silverism, the country
against Populism. On this vital issue
true Democrats and loyal citizens can no
more hesitate than they did in 81. All
then stood shoulder to shoulder, regard
less of party, for the honor of the flag
and the safety of the nation. The time
has come for all to do so again.
The triumph of silverism and POpu-
lism won by the politicians at Chicago is
but the beginning of the battle. The
campaign for national honesty, honor and
safety has yet to be taken up by the peo-
pie and waged to a finish in November
The people are both honest and patriotic.
/ They have only to be awakened to the
new danger that menaces the country to
arise in it's defense as they did in 81.

KEARBY AT SOUR SPRINGS.

San Antonio. Tex, July 11.-(Special.)
Jerome c. Kearby, Populst candidate
for governor, addressed a crowd of some
200 people, male and female at Sour
Springs. in Wilson county today. 1t rain
ed nearly all day, but for more than an
hour he braved the elements denouncing
the extravaganza and eXtortion of the
Culberson regime. Referring to the plat
form adopted at Chicago, he said it had
been stolen from the Populists, and he
protested against trusting the "free sill
yer baby to the Democratic party as a
foster parent. He said Democrats were
not to be trusted, but would kill the
founding at Washington.
Ben Terrell attempted to speak in the
afternoon, but was stopped by the rain.
Several of the Populists present express
ed themselves as favorable to an en-
dorsement of Bryan by the Populists in
order to insure McKinley's defeat, but
Taylor McRea, Populist nominee for
congress from the Twelfth district, de-
clared against such action and announc-
ed that he would quit the party if such
a step were taken.
