Literary Notes.

Harper d Brothers publish this
week the second volume of Curtis's

cerity, precision, directness, and
simplicity of Mr.. Curtis's diction-
scarcely modern and his exhaust
i've knowledge of his noble subject,
pre-eminently qualified him for writ
ing the history Of the Constitution
OF the United States, history which
appeals to the general reader and
intelligent citizen as we'll as to the
professional student of public affairs
and constitutional law"

WASHINGTON, D. G., Sept -, 1896.
Political Club organization has
proven one Of the most effective ad-
Juucts 10 campaign work that has
ever been devised. The presen,
campaign has brought into existence
more clubs than any other known in
the history Of the country. The
Peoples Party must not lag behind
the procession. There should be q
Peoples Party Club in every town
ship in America and, where the
party IS strong. il every school dis
trict. There should be one in each
village, and in each city clubs should
be organized by wards. These
clubs can b. not only an important
help IN the present campaign, but
they can Also be permanent good
to the party.
Here is the plan: lie; each State
| committee recommend, through the
public press and through the regu-
lar party organization, the starting
of Popuiists clubs in every precinci
in the State. No organizers are ne
cessary for this, although State or
ganizeTs and county organizers may
be appointed. But in the main the
people should organize for them
selves. These clubs are TO be open,
are to hold weekly meetings during
the campaign and after that as of.
ten IS they see fit. They are To re.
port the names OF their officers
Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer
at once TO the National Committee
together with a nominal charter fee
of, say One Dollar. The National
Committee will in turn forward a
charter and enroll the club as q
member of the National Association
! of Peoples Party Clubs. These
| clubs are to have public discussions
are TO distribute literature which will
be sent to them from National and
State Headquarters, are to attend
rallies in a body, are TO do quiet
work, to make converts IN tie neigh
| borhoods in which they are organ
lzed; and are in every way practics
BILE to lend enthusiasm, energy and
effectiveness to the campaign. y,
initiation fee shall be charged, ant
no dues other than those volunta
rily contributed. No dues shall be
paid either to State or Nationa
Committees other than voluntary
contributions, except the charter
fee, which is to be turned at one,
into the National campaign fund
Literature will be sent out from Ma
tional Headquarters to every clul
organization, the club in turn be
coming responsible for its propel
distribution.
At present organizations, such a.
legions, alliances, Silver clubs, Pop
ulists clubs, Bryan clubs, and othel
organizations which endorse tn,
principles of the Peoples party
should Immediately send names o.
officers, together with charter fee
direct to these Headquarters and be
| come at once enrolled in the Ma
tional Organization.
The Peoples Party papers should
at once advocate this plan of club
organization. 1t has tho sanction
of the National Executive committe,
and will be handled directly from
National Headquarters. All report.

matter should be directed to j. A

The initial prices were generally
higher, with some noteworthy frac-

q temporary halt in the improving
tendency, but the advance was soon
resumed under fresh buying. The in
