leans II they refuse-to heed the popular
demand for financial legislation. The
grievance in this case Is the National
Bank system that denies local banks
to tho country people of the West ana
South. These people have valuable prop
orty. but they are unable TO utilize il as
q basis OF credit because the present laws
forbid them to have their local banks
ana they can make little use OF their
property for producing revenue without
power TO borrow money. The great cry
for free silver that went up from these
people was at bottom, the utterance oil
their complaint that they could get no
financial facilities for business. They
enormously thought free silver would
give them these facilities and they clam
ored for that. Their real grievance was
the fact that they were denied their
local banks.
These people arc no more satisfied now
than they were six months ago. and they
never will be satisfied until the cause Of
their grievance is removed.
The country has just passed through
a fearful strain. but it will pass through
the same one again unless the Republican
PARTY heeds the clamor Of the farmers OF
the West and South and gives them a
banking system that will enable them
TO raise and transfer credits as people
I'm the cities can now do.
VIII the Republican party have the
wisdom TO heed the signs Of the times,
or will # allow us TO drift into another

our sympathies are with the society
people of Riverside. a suburb OF chicago
Riverside is a town of aristocratic as
pirations. 1t has invariably frowned
upon the Chicago habit of eating with
ones knife. Of sitting at the table I'm ones
shirt-sleovos. or with ones napkin worn
about ones neck and bosom. and ii has
discarded the vulgar use of the word
-soen" for saw" 1t IS not i'm good
form i'm Riverside to pare ones nails IN
public, to use ones toothpick at the
table. to discard the use of ones hand
kerchief. or 10 say "Sec?" at the end
OF ones every sentence. The com
munity may not be aristocratic by birth
OF instinct. arG its environments have not
conduccd TO aristocratc DEVELOPMENT.
But. despite its youthful neglect and I'M
fortunate associations, 80 has evolved
1uIi-dress society and hen,o these tears.
Several days ago Society thought to
give a concert in one Of the Village
churches for the benefit of the Associa-
ton for the Prevention of Ndlgarisms-
"A most laudahio object, as all must
admit-and tickets were offered for sale.
All went We'll ana the sale was pro-
crossing beautifully, until some vulgar
person. who bought ticket, discovered
tucked away neatly in the lower left
hand corner o. the pastoboard, the tell
tale legend. Evening Dress"
Now. this vulgar person not only pro-
tested. but, TO use the exact words of the
vulgar Chicago paper from which this
story is gathered, he proceeded TO get
hot in the collar" and while it is not
so stated We have no doubt That me
actually perspred. OF course. Society
was shocked; but as if that were not
enough. this vulgar person insinuated
that. in his opinion. there We're people
in Riverside intelligent enough to apprc-
ciate a good concert and conduct thom-
selves properly thcreat. whose wardrobes
had never known the cleyating tendencies
o: swallow-tan. AS II such thing
were possible
But vulsarism triumphod. The word
WAS passed around. and many other
vulgar persons said that they would not
purchase tickets TO the concert with any
such condition as evening dress at
tachod.
The result? Why. the "cvening-drcss'
tickets were called in. and at the con-
cert there were only half n dozen swai-
low-tails in the entire audience 10 testi-
is that such thing as Society existed
tn Riverside. or course the vulgar were
in high glec over their vulgar triumph
and the Chicago press fairly rcvelled In
the victory. But Society received a
brutal stab from which it VIII not easily
recover.
For our part. while We speak from
great distance we regret that Society
yielded. In our opinion. the concert. and
not the evening dress tickets should
have been called in. Society loses moth
ing in contending Tor principle. ospe-
cially when that principle IS such an
exalted society principle 49, evening dress
for an evening occasion. Better never
a concert than a concert Tor which
Society is responsible without conyon-
tlonal attire.
Riverside Society has our sympathy.
but our approval must be withheld So
ciotas aut omnia aut nihh is our motto.
