Mr.. Peter #. DALEY at h Lyric

Mr.. Peter F. Daley, the corpulent, but

as they had last night the success of their
season is assured. The audience was an
unusually large one, even for the Lyric,
which so far this season has been crowd
ed nightly, and was Kept in a continual
state of laughter while the curtain was
up.
1t would be hard to draw any distinction
between the members of this excellent
company, as each one seemed to be the
best that could be secured for his or her
part. James T. Kelly as Timothy Coogan,
Charles J.. Stein as Samuel Bradbury;
William Barry, Jr., who bears a strong
resemblance to his talented father; Joseph
Swickard, Arthur Earle and George Linn
all Showed themselves to be artists.
Miss Flora Irwin, in her several parts,
is a most pleasing and versatile actress.
Miss Ollie Evans is another young lady
of artistic taste and cleverness. The
other young ladies who contributed much
to the success of the entertainment are:
Matte Nichols. Agnes Milton Delete Y.
Walker, edna Elsmere and Jessie Clark.
The play is funny and is running over
with good music and pretty dances. 1t

subscriptions to the campaign fund
many contributions are now being re-

to systematic this work Chairman
Jones has asked all weekly and daily
papers in the United States that are
favorable to Mr.. Bryan and free silver

resective publications. Such editors are
authorized by the Democratic national
committee to act as collecting agencies

MORE REST NEEDED.

The readiness with which the people
of Kansas seem inclined to unite with
Topeka in making a holiday week this
fall is an additional evidence of what
must have been noted by the
? dency on the part of the
American people to take more rest,
more recreation. The people of Kansas
and of the whole country have had a
great work to do in the way of develop
ment and they have been busy peo-
pie since the landing of the Pilgrims.
In fact they have taken too little rest.
All work and no play, while it may
not have made them dull like the pro-
verbal Jack, has told on their nerves.
AS a nation we seem to have well nigh
lost the capacity for resting. 1t is
hopeful sign that the number of fixed
holidays are being steadily added to,
while festivities similar to those pro-
jected for Topeka are becoming more
numerous year by year.
The Mardi Grss of New Orleans, the
Yelled Prophets of st. Louis, the
Priests of Pallas Of Kansas City, the
Festival of Mountain and Plain Of Den
yer are now looked forward to with in
terest each year by the inhabitants Of
a large surrounding district, while in
California every city of any Importance
has it's annual Flower Festival of a
weeks duration.
It will be many years before this
country will equal European countries
in the number of it's holidays, because
there is much work yet to do here that
has been finished in those countries
centuries ago, but with the rapid ad-
vances which have been made and
continue to be made in the use of Ia
Dor saving appliances it will not take
nearly so long to bring this country to
the condition where little labor is re-
quired beyond supplying daily needs.
as it did to bring Europe to that con-
dition.
The farm lands of Europe are in Gull
tivatiOn, her houses, railroads and
bridges are built. Her people can at
ford mny holidays. The people of this
country have done enough in this di-
rection to have earned more recreation
than they have been taking.

Dear Sir:-Tours Of the 18th came
while 7 was away from home for a few
hours and I hasten to answer it I
think the matter in regard to my posi-
tion on the currency question has been
fully settled by the Champion this
week. The Kansas City Journal yes
terday had a good article in it about
the matter am in favor Of the free
coinage of the American product of
the silver mines with sufficient tariff
to exclude all foreign product, and it
seems to me that there can be but one
ratio. think it is idle to talk about
changing the ratio. The fact that we
have $500. 0O0 900 Of silver now in circu-
lation would render it almost impossi-
BILE to make change in ratio from the
present one of 10 to 1. Yours truly,

JOE WATERS SONG.
A Poem to be Sung to an Old Abe
Lincoln Dirty.

Lincoln O1GCys
Capt. J. G. Waters has undertaken to
supply the popular demand for Bryan
campaign songs. He has written the
following which he says should be
sung to the air of the old song of Lin
coins time which started with: ABE
Lincoln is the man, with his sturdy
mate from the pine tree state, Abe Lin
coin is the man"
Our ship sails Ger the stormy sea
The tempest's wrath downpouring;
And through the darkness on our lee,
We hear the breakers roaring.
Cho: Among the gallant crew,
Where is the sailor true
Who can sail our craft,
With the storm abaft
To waters calm and blue?
The sails are rent, the masts are
The vessels ballast shifting,
And through the night the bells are
rung,
AS nigh the shoals we're drifting.
Chorus:
Where is the captain of the ship
Above the wild commOtion,
Each sailor asks with whitened lip,
To guide US Ger the ocean?"
Chorus:
Let someone man the wheel who
knows
The pilots awful error,
And turn her for some sea that
blows,
No storms like these of terror.
Chorus:
The man is found to seize the wheel
And safe to harbor take her,
And land her battered, leaking keel
Beyond the reach of breaker.
Chorus for last verse:
And Bryan is the man,
He is the tar who can,
He will sail away
For America,
With him we lead the van.

TWIN REGGARs

One of the most striking expressions
recently given to the public is that
found in a circular issued by a firm of
brokers in New York city. It is this:
"A bushel OF wheat and an ounce of
silver appear twin beggars seeking
foreign consumers gold.'' That de-
scribes the situation exactly and ae-
counts for the steady decline in the
prices Of both.
Whatever is forced to go out and seek
a market is inevitably cheapened- That
which is sought by the market has al
ways a tendency to advance in price
This is true of wages, commodities and
in fact everything.
When men are looking for work wages
are low; when work is looking for men
wages are high. When farm products
are hunting a market, prices are low;
when the market is calling for farm
products. prices are high. When peo-
pie are trying to borrow money, inter
est rates advance; when money is seek
ing loans, interest rates decline.
When silver had an unlimited mar
ket at a fixed price in the United
price. The foreign market sought our
silver. When the United States put a
limit on the amount of silver that could
be disposed of in the home market,
then it began to seek the foreign mar
ket instead of having the foreign mar
ket seek it. The inevitable followed.
The price of silver declined.
Foreigners who had been purchasers
of American silver had also been pur-
chasers of American wheat. When by
the demonstration act of 1873 the
United States forced down the value
of it's own silver, European nations
which had been purchasers of both
wheat and silver, found it more profit
to buy American silver at the reduced
price and use it to buy wheat in other
countries.
Thus did the deliberate destruction
of the silver market lead to the loss
of the wheat market and the bushel
Of wheat and the ounce of silver be-
came twin beggars for the foreign con-
sumers' gold when formerly that gold
came to this country anxiously seek
ing both.
The people who are advocating a
continuance of these conditions are
the same people that talk of the gIor-
les Of protection to American labor and
American industries The silver in
dustry and the wheat industry appear
to need protection and it Is but just
that they be treated as Wen as is the
sold mining industry.
