The Coming Convention.

1t will soon be time for calling county
conventions for the purpose OF selecting
delegates to the state convention who
will not only nominate state officers
but also select delegates to attend the
national convention which meets at
St. Louis, July 22nd. We will have but
one state convention this year which
will be held on July 14th. This was
thought advisable by the committee as
the expense OF attending conventions is
not q small one in hard times like the
present.
Never was there a time in the history
of the party when we so much needed
our best men in the conventions, men
who are capable OF keeping their heads
and using sober judgment as at this
time. 1t is critical period in the his
tory of political parties in
this country and much depends upon
the action of our convention. Should
both old parties declare for the gold
standard, with proper management
on the part OF our people and the slluer
men there is no reason why this great
peoples movement may not sweep the
country and defeat both old parties.
But blunder made at the convention
by unyielding, hot headed delegates who
refuse to work because thev are unable
to secure decorations for all the reforms
they have figured out can make success
impossible.
Let US be careful and select good con-
servatlve and conscientious men to re-
present us in both conventions. 1t is
worse than folly for everv one to expect
to get his pet hobby into the platform
and platform making this time for the
third party will have to be handled Will,
care as it Is going to be no easy matter
to harmonic all elements and without
it success is impossible. GAIN few vic
tories and our party becomes popular,
then voters will rush into our fold and
then building platforms will be to some
purpose and not half 80 difficult.

Base Ball With Trimmings.

Keystone Miner: The Holly Terrors
went to Hill City last Sunday on chal-
iange from the base ball nine OF that
town. The Terrors were not in their
best form as they had no practice, and
some Of the best players being at work,
could not &C on 80 short q notice; still
as ball players they outclassed the Hill
City men, and in consequence Hill City
tooka new deal, giving themselves four
puguilists and a Joker, vulgularly called
umpire, and gave the Terrors-a fight.

THE ANNUAL CONVENTION.

The ANNUAL CONVENTION.
The death Of Vim. q. Judge, the late
president and the greatest of the theo-
sophists since the time OF Madame
Blavatsky, has brought about some
necessary changes in the external organ
izatlon. Many thought that the so
cletv would suffer by the death OF Mr..
Judge, but it is more active than it has
been at any time and greater unity pre-
walls. Delegates to the number Of about
a thousand from all parts of the United
States and Canada, from Cuba, South
America and lands across the sea met
at Madison Square Garden last week.
Officers were elected for the ensuing
year; resolutions passed condeming
vivisection. hypnotisrn and the selling OF
occult knowledge for money or personal
advantage. In the evening a. crowd
estimated at from ten to eleven thou
VIM. c. Judge was unveiled. The veil
was drawn by the Youngest member OF
the society, a child seven years old AS
the covering was slowly removed to the
music OF a string quartette, the aud ence
rose TO it's feet and remained standing
during the dedication Addresses were
made bv DR.. Buck, OF Cincinnati: Geo
NJ. Coffin, deputy comptroller of the
currency, Washington City, DIR. Ander-
son Of San Francisco, B. O. Flower,
editor Of the Arena; Archibald Kelghtlv,
M. D., M. A.. Londen, Eng, and others.
Especial interest was attracted to the
delegation from Spain. At the an
nouncement that some time in the fu-
ture school for the revival of the an
cient mysteries would be established
by The society, the nucleus OF a building
fund, amounting to about twenty-five
thousand dollars was soon subscribed.
Mr.. Cederholm, Of Chicago
offered to fit the new schools
with an electric lighting plant and to do
the electric engineering. w. w. Harmon
OF Boston promised the necessary print
Ing connected with the institution etc.
The prospects for the speedy erection of
the Temple are therefore exceedingly
bright. A resolution of appreciation
was extended to DR.. Buck, whose spa
cious home is always at the service OF
his brothers, not only Of America but
from abroad. DR.. Buck remarked, "dld
you ever know man, rich or poor, wise
or foolish to make home? 1t is the
wife who makes the home" Thereupon
the resolutions were changed to include
the name OF Mrs. Buck and were tele
graphed to her in Cincinnati
A great deal OF literature now being
produced is evidently intended to meet
the mentary stimulus for novelty
and gets too much attention. "Thril-
ling experiences" in the realms Of bor-
derland will not do away with the ne
cessity for men knowing themselves
before they can unravel truly the
mysteries Of life. The aroma of the !
grave yard will not revive knowledge

PETER NOT BOOMING TELLER


Hauls Taubeneck ct Al. Over the Goals for
That st. Louis Address.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator PETER
has left for home Before starting he said
concerning the Populist attitude on the
presidential question: The recent pro-
nunciamento of a few Populist gentlemen
at st. Louis, urging the Democratic con-
vention to nominate Mr.. Teller was in
my Judgment an impertinence, and it was
trcacherous so far as it attempted to speak
for the Populist party as u whole. These
gentlemen spoke without authority from
the Populist party, and 1 dc not believe
the party will sustain them. They had
not conferred with the party and had been
given no commission to speak for it.
Personally have high regard for Mr..
Teller, but have no idea that the old
party spirit of the Democratic organiza-
ton will be so far relaxed as to bring
about his nomination. 1 regard the in
tegrity and perpetuity of the Populist party
as essential to carrying out the plans Of
reform we have espoused. The none,
question is but one of these:
Il had hoped there might be some ANAL.
gamation Of democrats, Populists, silver
men and all others, in new declaration
of principles and, if need be, new ppme
But the time for that has gone by, and all
that remains is for the Populist party to
maintain its integrity by nominating its
own candidate on its own platform Con-
cerning the Populist candidates person
ally favor the nomination of Governor
Holcombe. Of Nebraska, for first place on
The ticket" He thought Tom Watson, of
Georgia, the man for second place.

RISE IN WHEAT PRICES.
Not D1e to Specttldtors, but n Shortage In
the UorId,s CroD

Not D1e to Specttldtors, but n Shortage In
the WorId's Crop.
WASHINGTON, D. Co., Oct. 30.-John
Hyde of the Department of Agriculture,
author of the recent report ON wheat
prices" brands as lie the statement that
he had given it as his judgment that the
present rise in wheat had been planned by
spectators. Mr.. Hyde declares that if
ever there was a rise in prices that was
strictly legitimate, it is the present rise in
wheat. Advices received from Russia,
India and Argentina report such short
crops in those countries as to make big
shortage in the worlds supply matter of
absolute certainty, and, Notwithstanding
the oscillation of the last few days, Mr..
Hyde looks for still higher prices. Specu-
lation, he says, is usually most active
when, as at the present time, impossible
ity of ascertaining full and precise effect
OF an important change in conditions
leaves some little room for doubt or specu-
lation as to the near future, but it is either
the greatest folly or most criminal men,
dacity to say that present speculation in
wheat is itself the cause of the rise in
prices. Those who make such statements
are proving themselves false frienos of the
farmers, because, if the present rise is
fictitious, it would be clearly to farmers
interests to take immediate advantage of
it, whereas every legitimate indication is
to the effect that farmers will do better by
not crowding their wheat onto the market
lust at this time.
