SOME of our Populist friends in
the East and West profess to be
considerably alarmed because the
silver delegates to the st. Louis
Convention outnumber the Popu-
list delegates. Some time ago it
was decided to hold the national
Populist convention in st. Louis on
July 22d 1--WE believe), and the del
egates, as apportioned to the sever
al States, number 1882. After this
action had been taken a consolida-
ton of the several bimetallic
leagues was effected, and the silver
ties decided to hold a convention
in ST. Louis on the same date that
the Popnlist convention is held, an
agreement having been made be-
tween Populists and Silver that the
votes OF delegates to both conven-
tons should be interchangeable.
The number of delegates apportion-
ed to the Silver convention is 1921,
and some of the Populists are now
squealing about being outnumber-
ed The best thing the conventions
can do is to carry out the program
and meet together in one hall, set
tie their differences, put up a good
ticket and then all pull for its cleo
ton. It has been demonstrated
that the Populists cannot win on
the Omaha platform, and it is very
doubtful that an independent Sill
yer party can win. But with har-
mony between the two elements we
believe the gold bugs could be de-
feated. We believe that "Popu-
list" should be the name of the
party and Free Coinage" the
plank. With man in the Presi-
dental chair elected under such
circumstances it would take but a
short time to bring about other
necessary reforms in the govern
ment, in fact, they would follow as
a natural result of the remonetiza-
ton Of silver. The main issue be-
fore the people is the scarcity of
money, and this can only be RENE
died by a larger supply, and the
most substantial way to furnish
this it to open the minis to silver
on an equality with gold. 1t is a
system that stood the test for ages,
and would stand it for ages to come
if again inaugurated

sOLDaTE IGNORANCE.

Senator Gallery, Louisiana, made
speech upon the currency ques-
ton in the Senate, the other day.
From the report in the CongressiOn-
al Record we take this extract:
Mr.. Daniel: The Senator stated
that as civilization advanced silver
went down. Will the Senator please
state how that is consistent with
the fact that from 1847 to 1850,
when more gold was produced, the
same people who are now warning
upon silver led the crusade rgainst
gold and actually demonetized it?
How is that consistent with the
idea of natural law. as claimed by
the Senator from Louisiana, that
carried silver down as civilization
advanced?
Mr.. Gallery: | think the Senator
from Virginia has not correctly
stated the facts. Gold has never
been demonetized in Europe.
Mr.. Daniel: In one or two coun-
tries it has been.
Mr.. Gallery: There is no country
that / know Of in Europe-of course
the superior information and knowl-.
edge of other Senators on that point
will correct me if / am wrong-that
ever demonetized gold. At the.per
iod of the discovery of the gold
mines of California, when there was
tremendous output of gold, gold
being a commodity like everything
else, noted French writer Of that
period, NJ Chevalier, in discussing
the finances Of France, thought per-
haps 1t was best to demenetize gold,
but it was never done.
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon: Germany
demonetized gold, will say to the
Senator.
Mr.. Teller: And SO did Holland
in 1847.
Mr.. Gallery: | stand corrected
then, and the question of the Sena-
tor from Virginia now needs ali
answer.
Here is Senator of the United
States, presuming to instruct the
people upon the subject of currency,
who actually did not know that
two European nations demonetized
gold when gold was cheap and sill
yer was dear If gold should now
become cheap and silver dear, we
should have repetition Of this per-
Torrance, and nothing more would
be heard of the'superiority of~that
gold standard. The whole pufpos6

It was near the end of the war, and
while We had not been doing much

with Xanthus as he was with her.

seems to run smooth when the clatter
of horses hOofs broke upon our ears.
We quickened our pace to the edge
of clump of poplars that commanded
view of the road. Even before we saw
his flying horse and his face cleaning
in the moonlight we knew instinctively
that it was Dick Xanthus and that he
was in trouble.
I'VE saw that his horse was carrying
double and we smiled even as we halted
and drew our sabers. for the noise OF
pUrsuers sounded close upon the clatter
of his horses hoofs. But thought we, he
will soon pass our line and then we will
fash out and put his assailants TO flight.
We wished to take no rash measures.
"On they came. pursuer and pursued.
The lieutenant was very near us, and
We could see him looking down into the
face of the little Venable girl, when, to
our surprise. what should he do but
whirl suddenly and go charging back
straight into the faces of his pursuers.
1T was all done in moment. We
saw his saber fash upward; and We
heard a woman scream: Don't Kill my
brother and saw the saber lowered; !;
then there was flash of another steel
and Xanthus dropped from his horse.
just as we dashed up and surrounded
the two Venable boys.
THE girl was on the ground beside
her lover, weeping and trying to
staunch the flow of blood, while her
brothers stood by, mad enough to end
it all with her; but we took them all
safe into camp. OF course, We couldn't
do anything with the fell0ws-they
were only protecting their own. But
they had to consent to the marriage of
their sister with Xanthus: for, as you
kEow, he did not die Of his wound.
"a saber-stroke. did you say? No.
that's the unromantic thing about the
whole affair A saber-stroke would

the sake of policy treated Dick Kan
thus visits with respectful considera-
tion, but they weren't blind and they
hated him in his blue uniform as the
devil hates holy water They were big,
brawny fellows, who were only stay-at-
homes because their principles would
not let them enter the union army, and
their own and their fathers interests
kept them out of the confederate ranks.
I'VE warned our young lieutenant
that his visits to the Venable house
would bring him into trouble, but youth
and especially youth that is in love
is headstrong. SO he went on his way
Just as we expected he would.
Finally, one day, when things had
been going on in this way for some
time, Dick asked the colonel for leave
on the next night. Old Tom Baker was
colonel of the regiment then. and he
was a good-hearted old codger. He
winked knowingly as he gave the young
lieutenant leave and warned him not to
get into trouble.
"a quarter of an hour after Lieut..
the camp a half-dozen of us young fell
lows were summoned into the c0lonel's
presence. We found him pacing back
and forth the length of his tent, with a
look of mock sternness on his kindly
face. He addressed us as follows: Gen
tlemen, the discipline of this camp, it
must be confessed, is rather lax. Con-
tirued sojourn in peaceful territory and
CONSEQUENT immunity from danger have
brought about this result. / have al
lowed myself to give Lieut.. Nanthus
leave to go outside the lines tonight.
and it is my impression that he has
gone to the Venable house to carry on
the daughter of that household as
bride. Now, whether his action is right
or not, it is not for us to say. but man
in love is liable to encounter great
dangers in accomplishing his end. But,
said the colonel, with a twinkle in his
eye, all this is neither here nor there,
and is Of no consequence to you. My
purpose in assembling you together Is
to send you out as a accommodating
party; go out and reconnoiter, no matter
where or what; don't do anything rash.
