Z The Qopulists in all parts OF the country
are very much dissatisfied because their
nominees for President and Vice Presi-
. dent, Mr.. Bryan and Mr. Watson. have
not been notified Officially OF their n0mina-
lions Ar Watson. ia his paper issued
Thursday. insists that they shall be noti-
fed az once. He does not approve the
policy OF silence that is being pursued By
Senators Butler and Allen IN this matter.
and he appears 20 have the cordial sup
port OF the rank and file OF the popuiist
party.
a few days ago. Senator Butler. as
chairman OF the national committee OF
the popuusts. said that Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Watson would not be notihed-that
il was not the unbroken custom OF the
popuiists 10 notify their nominees. Mr..
Watson. in reply. points out that Gen.
Weaver and Gtn. Fields. the presidential
and vice presidential nominees Of the pop
ulist party four years ago. were officially
notified. and he can see no reason why
the nominees Of this year should not be
notified. He becomes aggressive. and
wants 10 know IL Senators Butler and Al
len are afraid Mr.. Bryan will refuse the
support Of the popuiists. or If Mr.. Bryan
is ashamed Of the votes which are to
EJECT him. II either suggestion is true.
he says, the populists ought 10 know it.
in order that they may be in a position
TO take such steps as they may think ad-
visable.
A Washington paper. the Evening Star,
states that Senators Butler and Allen
have been finally forced. by the pressure
brought TO bear upon them. TO consent
to an official notification Of the nomi-
nees. 1t seems to be understood that
Senator Allen, tho chairman OF the noti-
fication committee. will write a letter 10
Mr.. Bryan. and also one 10 Nj Watson.
giving them the requisite notification.
There will be no such elaborate cere-
mony as there was when Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Sewall were notified of the action Of
the Chicago convention. It is not advis-
able that there should be, because the
nomination OF Mr. Bryan by the popu-
lists was not pleasing to a great many
democrats who are supporting the demo-
cratic ticket. Indeed. Senator Butler and
Senator Allen would be glad if the notl-
fication could be avoided. They want the
democratic ticket TO be elected-at least
Senator Allen does-and they are afraid
that the acceptance Of the popu,ist nom
ination by Mr.. Bryan would lessen his
chances for election. by prejudicing many
democrats against him.
Mr. Watson, however. is not anxious for
the election Of the democratic ticket. not
withstanding the fact that that ticket
stands for much that which
his party is contending for. 1t
does seem as II he would step
aside and permit Bryan and Sewau TO
have the full benefit of the democratic
and populist vote. If he were contending
for principles and not party and personal
glory. He is willing 10 help Mr.. Bryan
only to the extent that he can help him
self.
He will have his way. He will be no
tilted and so will Mr.. Bryan but it will
require excellent judgment on Mr.. Bry-
ans part, in accepting the populist nomi-
nation, 10 avoid a loss of democratic
votes.

A prominent professional man of Chi
cago formerly had the reputation Of be-
ing slow in his payment of small accounts.
says the Chicago Record.
He made considerable money in the prac-
tice Of his profession, and a more frugal
man would have saved money. but this
man was thriftless and Indifferent to
money obligations in true ratio to his
brilliancy.
He owed a coal bill among other bills.
and the coal dealer persevered in the eff
fort to get the money. He sent his col
lector time after time to the Office of his
gifted debtor. The collector was always
received with extreme politeness and
shown every consideration, except a
money consideration.
The genial person who owed the coal
bill would glance a t the ACCT. rendered, -
nod his head in thoughtful affirmation
and say that he believed the bill TO be
regular. He did not deny owing the
money. 1t occurred to him that the ac-
count had been standing for some time.
Had it not? The collector would acknowl-
edge that 1t had.
That being the case, it was all the more
unfortunate that the collector had select
ed such an unfortunate time for his call
However. the collector would doubtless be
around that way again sooner or later,
and perhaps he would be willing to call
again?
After this had been going on for two
years the coal dealer lost his temper. One
day he sent the collector with a bill on
which was written:
please settle at once. My collector has
worn out pair of shoes running after
you to get this money"
The brilliant professional gentleman
read this communication, and then said
''Humph. that's shame. Come with
me-" He took the collector to a shoe
store and bought him s. pair of shoes.
But he didn't pay the bill.

Washington DIsappointed

Some OF the good people of Washington
are not pleased with the Presidents plan
of receiving Ii Hung Chang, the personal
in a private house in New York, instead
Of his official residence at the national
capital They say the white house has
been completely refurnished and could.
in few hours. be put in shape for the
reception. They also point out that the
reception in New York will cost the coun-
try considerable more than it would in
Washington. because of the expense of
sending a large detachment of cavalry
from Washington to New York.
No doubt the President has excellent
reasons for the course he has seen fit to
pursue. If he had thought it advisable
he would have gone to Washington and
probable he was informed, through Am
bassador Bayard, that a reception in New
York would be more acceptable to the
distinguished Chinaman. who may not
want 10 go to Washington at all But
whether he does or not it is natural to
suppose that it would be more acceptable
to him to be received by the President
soon after his arrival in the country than
to go to Washington for that purpose
after he had finished his visit in New
York, or 10 go to Washington before hav-
ing completed his stay in New York.
1t is pretty safe to assume that the
Presidents plan Is the right one. It is
but natural that Washington should OBJ
jeet to being cheated out of a show that
she was counting on.

The Brooklyn.

The speed test Of the cruiser Brooklyn,
n which she covered a distance Of eighty
three knots at the speed Of a fraction un-
der twenty-five knots an hour. and ran
about seven knots at the speed
OF fraction under twenty-three
knots an hour. places her at the
head Of her class of ships. for this coun-
try or any other. She is more speedy than
the crack triple-screw cruiser Column
bia. which holds the long distance record
for warship speed, and will be when
armed a more terrible fighter than that
ship. or her own sister ship, the New
York
The Brooklyn has been called the
Greater New York" in the city for which
she is named; and such she is, indeed
She is 1900 tons larger than the New
York, although her lines are similar to
those of that ship. The Brooklyn has a
greater coal carrying capacity and will
mount a heavier battery than her sister
In her main battery she will carry two
more e.ght-inch guns, and instead of
four-inch rapid fire guns she will carry
five-inch rapid fire guns. That simple
statement does not appear on its face to
mean much. But it means a great deal
The projecule discharged from the five
inch gun weighs something like one-third
more than that of the four-inch gun, and
the range of the five-inch gun Is very
much greater than that of the smaller
piece. The additional pair of eight-inch
guns in the main battery means that the
Brooklyn will be something Ike 20 per
cent. stronger at long range than the
New York. And that vessel is considered
to be the equal of any cruiser of her class
afoat in foreign waters.
Like the New York, the Brooklyn is
armored in her vital parts with the most
improved nickel steel armor. 1t is not as
heavy as the armor on battle ships, but
is considered to be quite heavy enough
to afford protection to the gun crews
Her sides are packed with celulose, a ma
terial that is depended upon to close
against water any puncture of compare
lively small size that may be made in her
huh below the water line. Celulose re-
sembes in texture to some extent the pith
Of cornstalk. 1t is compressed dry and
packed in the ships sides. If the shell of
the ship should be punctured and water
strike the celulose. it would swell and
close the rent, making it virtually water
tight.
The Brooklyn will have nearly the fight
ing qualities of a battleship. the coal ca
pacity of a cruiser and the speed of an
ocean greyhound. She is ship of which
the whole country will be proud Nobody
will be disposed to find fault because she
has earned her builders a fortune in
premium for extra speed.

Prospects are good for one of the hot
test and most amusing joint discussions
that has ever taken place in this coun-
try. or any other country. Tom Watson
and old William Monomaniac Stewart
of Nevada are at outs. Several years
ago Watson founded the National Watch
man newspaper at Washington, in or
der that the populists might have an or
gan. Lately Stewart bought the paper
from the fellow Watson had presented it
TO. and is now publishing 1t down at Al
exandria, under the name of the Silver
Knight. The Silver Knight advocates Bry-
an and Sewall instead Of Bryan and Wat
son. which leads Watson to say the old
man is in danger of making as big A
blunder as he did when he voted for the
crime of 1873" If he continues to ad
vocate Sewall after fair warning. says
Watson. Stewart need not again expec.
to plead the baby act" This will Of
course. call for a sixteen-column reply
from Stewart.

as to his present position and argues
against the free coinage of silver in a man
ner that cannot fail to please the most ex-
IRENE advocates of the gold standard. 1t

case well and il is also true that he goes
a great deal further in opposition to free
coinage in this letter than he has in any

Gold and Silver.

Monroe H. Rosenfeld, in Brooklyn Life.)
Birds are piping down the orchard,
As if calling me to see
What the little ones are playing
BY the gnarled old apple tree
There I watch them, buying, selling,
Busy every one who plays IS;
And their gold is dandehons,
And their silver daisies, daisies.
AS l see their happy faces
Still another throng appears,
Rosy playmates of my childhood,
Come from out the buried years,
Have they wandered back to tell me
OF our play-time 5 merry phases,
When our gold was dandelions
And our silver was the daisies?
How the outer worlds unquiet
Dies away at words they speak;
o. my heart. with all its burdens,
Is a child's, now, blithe and meek!
IT'S the vision of a moment,
Fading down the orchards mazes
Mid the gold of dandelions,
And the silver of the daisies.
Il have bought, O. happy children,
At your pleasant little store,
One bright glimpse of my own childhood
With its hopes and joys of yorer'
Then they look at me with wonder
With a smile each one up-gazes,
While ] pay with dandelions,
Take change in silver daisies!
