CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW OPENS.
The First Evening of the Flower Show
Meets With Flattering Success.

The First Evening of the Flower Show
Meets With Flattering Success.
The second annual chrysanthemum
show under the auspices Of the Ladies'
Cemetery association opened at Cham
peny's opera house Tuesday evening.
The hurried finishing touches were
put to the decorations in the afternoon
and at the usual supper hour five tables
were ready for the big rush of guests.
The eatables spread for the patrons
were very fine indeed and every person
who INDUCED in the viands were loud
in their praise of the affair. The tables
were beautifully decorated, containing
some magnificent chrysanthemums of
various colors.
Considerable taste was exercised in
decorating the room and some very
beautiful effects were originated. Mrs.
Sid Smith planned an old fashioned
fireplace which stands out prominent
among the special features, in which
she was materially assisted by other
willing hands. The flowers were fur
nished by the Newburys, who have
spar ed no effort to present beautiful
picture Of lovliness to the public and
that their efforts were successful is
attested to by the many kind words of
favorable comment. In the center of
the room suspended from the ceiling
hung bell decorated in green, on
which was perched two white doves,
radiating from which were strands of
green and national colors. The hand
some chrysanthemums are scattered
about the room in great profusion and
banks here and there formed a rich
background of beauty on which the eye
could rest with pleasure.

NEW METHODIST PREACHER.
A High Endorsement Given MT. Stevens
From His Former Home.

A High Endorsement Given Mr. Stevens
From His Former Home.
Rev. A. G. Stevens, of Red6eld. is
the gentleman who will preside over
the destiny of the Methodist church in
this city for the coming year, and from
all reports received Mitchell is very
fortunate in securing the services of
the reverend gentleman. The follow
ing from the Redfield Observer shows
the high standing of Mr.. Stevens at his
former pastorage.
Rev. A. G. Stevens, who by appoint
ment of the Methodist conference, goes
from Redfeld to Mitchell, has been pas
tor of the church here for four years,
thus serving longer than any pastor ever
resident in this city. The regard in
which he was held was demonstrated
by the young people Of the Epworth
League last Sunday at the close of the
services when Mr.. Morris, as the repre-.
sentative of the sixty or more present,
spoke in warmest terms Of his work
and place in the hearts of the young
people. Mr.. Stevens responded in his
earnest way. "Blest be the tie that
binds" was sung while all joined hands
around the church. II was beautiful
scene revealing the spirit that should
always prevail between pastor and
people.
Mr.. Stevens preached Sunday NOR
ming to crowded house. One was re-
ceived into the church and two bapti-
zed. In the evening at the solicitation
of other churches, college students and
citizens Mr.. Stevens spoke in the Con-
gregational church. This was done to
accommodate the many who desired to
hear him. Fifty chairs were brought
from the Methodist church, yet many
were unable to find room. A few words
about Mr.. Stevens personally would
not be amiss. He was reared among
the green mountains of Vermont. After
attendance upon common and high
schools, he entered the Vermont Meth.
odist Seminary at Montpelier, attend.
ing these institutions three years. He
then entered Ohio Wesleyan Univer
sity. Coming west in the spring o.
1892, he supplied the Methodist church
at Lake Preston, taking the work there
when it had been abandoned. and aftel
two preachers had come and gone in
six months discouraged, he succeeded
during the summer in not only estab
fishing the work but also in largely in
creasing the membership, organizing
league of nearly thirty members. Il
the fall of '92, he was appointed to Red
field. During the last two years OF hi
ministry here be has taken work in tn
college, graduating in June last. Tn
people of Redfeld, young and old
chur ched and unchurched, count hin
their friend and wish him God speed il
his new field. He is young man Q
excellent promise and we predict 10
him great future in the higher spirit

THE SILVER PLATFORM.

The National Silver party in conven.
ton assembled hereby adopts the follow
ing declaration OF principles:
/. The paramount issue at this time
10 the United States is indlsputably the
money question. 1t is between the gold
standard, the gold bonds and bank our
reucy on one side, and the bimetallic
STANDARD, no bonds and government cur
rency on the other. On this issue we de-
clare ourselves to be in favor Of a dis
tinctiveiy American system. We are
unalterabiy opposed to the single gold
standard and demand immediate return
to the constitutional standard OF gold
and silver by restoration by this govern.

should be issued and it's volume con-
trolled by the general government only,
and 1t should be legal tender. We are
unalterably opposed to the issue by the
United States Of interest bearing bonds
in time of peace, and We denounce as a
blunder worse than a crime the present
treasury policy, concurred in by the re-
publican house, OF plunglng the country
in debt by hundreds OF millions in a vain
attempt-to maintain the gold standard
by borrowing gold, and re demand the
payment of all coin obligations Of the
United States as provided by existing
laws in either gold or silver coin at the
option OF the government and not at the
option Of the creditors.
.. That over and above all other ques-
tions Of policy, we are in favor Of restor-
ing to the people Of the United States
the time-honored money OF the constitu-
tion-gold and silver, not one but both
the money Of Washington, Hamilton,
jefferson. Monroe, Jackson and Lin
coin, to the end that the American peo-
pie may receive honest pay for honest
product, that the American debtor may
pay his just obligations in an honest
standard and not in a standard that has
appreciated, 100 per cent above all the
great staples of the country, and to the
end further that present silver standard
countries may be deprived of the unjust
advantage they now enjoy in the differ
ence in exchange between gold and sill
ver-an advantage which tariff legisla-
ton alone cannot overcome.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people of the United States to leave in
allegiance for the moment all other cues
tons, however important and even mo
m%entous they may appear-to sunder if
need be all former party ties and afiilia-
tons, and unite in ore supreme effort to
free themselves and their children from
the domination OF the money power-a
power more destructive than any which
has ever been fastened upon civilized
mar OF any race or in any age. And
upon the corsummation Of our desires
and efforts We invoke the gracious favor
OF Divine Providence.

s237 ,O00,O0 went towards paying an
other part, and the unpaid balance was
no doubt taken up by investment in
further securities here and our debt thus
increased. And SO it will increase unless
our products can be exchanged al a
higher value than at present. We can
not get much more by tariff legislation
because, as demonstrated in the last
national election, our people will not
stand a niger tariff, 50 it must come
about by the increased value of our ex.
port products which are two. thirds, very
nearly. agricultural. These have been
reduced in value by the appreciation OF
gold since 1873 by one-half and by just
SO much has their debt paying power
been reduced. Instead Of our bt lance OF
trade in merchandise iu 1895, for in
stance, being l40 millions or such
like, it should have been over half
n billion. Such is the depressing effect
Of the gold standard.

it is asserted that fully S3,5OO,OOO will go

actually a balance at all in our favor.

bill to be the lack Of protection to our
agricultural products and their great
shrinkage in value owing to the appreci'
alton Of gold or it's equevllent. for which
We have to exchange them, we ourselves
have believed that the balance OF trade
was considerably against us, until Of late
we learned the figures from the stats

big stores on State street will give
up their pre-. ent locations before the
new year grows old. Some are to

move their stock and fixtures to
cheaper quarters. Reasons are nu
merous. High rent, hard times,

chants. lack Of money and general
business stagnation are some that
are given by the different merchants
Most Of the men who are going to re
tire from the street have been in
business there for years. Some Of
them are going to parts of Chicago
where the cost of maintaining a bus
mess is correspondingly less. One
or two may 90 to other cities and
the remainder intend to sell their
stocks. discharge the help and lock
the doors. Almost block of space
now used by commercial enterprises
will thus be thrown on the market.
and many people now given employ
