NOT THROUGH FEAR.
Silver Men Did Not Adjourn to Pre-

CHICAGO. June Sit was generally SUD-
posed that the adjournment Of the convention

NO conference was held. The delegates gem

refreshing themselves, sought their beds
The leaders without exception declared that
the reason for the adjournment was to he

that there Is occasion for conference at

A DAY AT THE CIRCUS.

The perennial circus and the ever
lasting and irrepressible small boy
came into glorious conjunction yester-
day. Never was there a more delight
fully democratic laying aside Of for
mality than in the acceptance by the
newsboys of the G o b s invitation
to take in the circus as our guests
quests, nor refuse anything short of
an engraved card, with R. s. " p
marked upon it. They did not require
urging. On the contrary, the only doubt
that beset the anxious souls of any of
them was whether such an offer could
possibly be made in earnest They
were afraid that something would
happen over night to dispel a pros
pect that seemed literally too good to
be true. So they besieged the
I'll be's offices hours before the
time, and when the hour Of noon
struck, seven hundred Of them
fell into line and marched through
the city, sounding the praises
of their host Then they went
out to the big tent and watched
with the unspoiled eyes of childhood
the old, old show, that will never lose it's
charm as long as there are any to
whom the world has not yet taught
the difference between gold and tinsel
It was a great day for the little fell
lows. and the G. 0 b g was as happy
in thinking Of their pleasure as they
were in looking at the elephant or the
bareback riders or the daring aero
bats. For, after all, one Of the few
things in life that nothing can spoil
is the giving Of so much as an hour Of
real happiness to others. And who of
us Is there that, looking back to the
far life Of his boyhood, remembering
the intensity of it's delights, where
realization did not mock anticipation,
the complete surrender of every
thought and emotion to the absolute
ly real sensations Of the passing mo-
ment, would not barter a good deal Of
what men hold most precious to get
back again for a brief halliday the ca
pacity to ieise life in the passion and
intoxication Of wonder and Joy that
possessed the soul Of the raggedest
and dirtiest urchin who saw the show
yesterday and will remember it for
| months to come? To have brought a
bright hour into so many lives is not,
perhaps, thing to be more lightly
priced than achievements that count
for greater ends, as the world runs.

OVATION 10 HILL.
1t Was the Great Feature of the
Night Session.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 8-No national
convention ever ought to hold an eve
ming session. I do not know why 1t is
but | never saw a large crowd of peo-
pie keep quiet after dark. Perhaps 1t
is because all their notes have been re-
newed or protested and the cares Of
the day laid aside. but 1t is fact. The
assemblage tonight was no exception
to but rather confirmation of the rule
There were fifteen thousand people and
probably five thousand were making
noise of some kind, If no more than a
low conversation, while hundreds were
moving about the aisles. Telegraph
messenger boys were rushing to and
fro between the reporters table and
telegraph Office, ushers and conven-
ton attendants were moving about
The passageway In front Of the chair
mans stand was filed with constatly
moving mass Of people, and, aggregatig
the whole thing, you might as well
try to do business amid the roar Of
Niagara. That was the situation when
the chair called the convention to order
tonight, and the sergeant at arms an
nounced in Stentorian tones that the
police would be called upon to clear the
galleries IL better order was not main
tained. God help the sore heads in the
galleries If the Chicago police get after
them with their fclubs as they did yes
terday when they charged on delicate
women delegates and citizens gener-
ally who were guilty of the crime of
coming to the convention. After all
the galleries ares more orderly than the
convention itself and the attendants
and visitors who have been allowed to
throng the aisles.
AS was expected the remainder of

of the gold delegates from Michigan

Mr.. Finley, Senator Vest, Of Missouri.

The appearance Of the distinguished
committee on the platform with their
charge was the signal for a most
cordial reception. Temporary Chairman
Daniel, in yielding the gaveI to the
California senator, made a most grace
full speech, thanking the convention
for its courtesy.
The contrast between the two lead
erS was most marked The senator
from the old dominion. his features as
clear cut as the head on a cameo,
dressed in the conventional garb or
the senate, was like a last century
statesman. Senator White, on the
other hand, had about him that rugged
ness of form, face and speech which
characterized the aggressive spirit of
the west. His face a resolute one, with
it's full bread streaked with gray, he
looked more like a soldier than a.
statesman and he would command In
slant attention in anybody. Mr.. White
presided over the st. Louis convention
Of 1888 and made an ideal officer. His
speech tonight was brief.

THE PEOPLE SHOULD MOVE.

The responsibility for the next step
in the matter of providing proper
school facilities in the German district
in the Eighth ward now rests upon
the citizens who are directly interest
ed. They have displayed exemplary
patience in waiting upon the contra
dictory opinions and slow movements
of the common council Their patience
may very properly be exhausted with
the dickering and dilly-dallyfng of the
present city fathers. It is true that
the board of aldermen has now an
nounced itself In favor Of erecting
new building on the site owned by the
city at the corner of Albemarle and
Wayzata streets. 1t Is more than
doubtful, however If the assembly
concurs in this view; and the aldermen
themselves formerly announced, after
viewing 1.-The lot in question. that it
was unfit for building purposes The
prospect is encouraging for an unlimit-
ed delay, and very unsatisfactory to
those parents whose children have
been denied educational rights offered
to others, either wholly or in part. for
long time past.
There are $4,000 available for the
extension Of school facilities in the
German district. The application of
this money waits only upon the ac-
ton of the common council. The
assembly and the board of alder
men will not, we believe, come to
an agreement and carry 1t out prompt
ly unless they are stirred up to their
duty by an emphatic expression of
public opinion. This is matter which
interests a small section of the city
only, and, although it Is vitality i'm
portant to those people, they can
hardly expect that other sections will
bestir themselves in seeing that JUS
| tice is done, unless they take the in
itiatiye. If the people tributary to the
German school wish to have their
rights considered they should at once
call public meetings and take such
measures to express and enforce their
desire that there will be no further de-
| lay or discussion on the part of the
council. Unless this is done there is
! every prospect that, with sufficient

pre-arranged. Some of them regarded
1t as an effort to stampede the con-
vention and nominate Senator Hill.
They Immediately Jumped to the con-
clusion that the hall had been packed,
and many schemes were hurriedly dis
cussed. looking to the prevention Of
any future demonstration of the same
character.
Several of the silver delegates
mounted the platform during the first
period OF the demonstration, and re-
monstrated with Senator Daniel, who
was presiding, over the mildness of his
manner. 1t was, however, beyond the
power OF any presiding officer to check
the exhibition, and the Virginia SEN

degree diminish its force or lessen it's

With the growing storm the silver
leaders became very much incensed

heroic remedy would be resorted to-
Different counsels prevailed, however
The governor first consented to a modi-
fication suggested by ex-senator Mar

Later, the silver. men became more
reconciled to the state Of affairs, and
with the first flush, Of surprise and in
