Square Enterprise and Integrity. There is no misrepresentation here. Rather than do business under false pretenses we would close our doors.
 Through our honest methods of com handing trade some of our would-be com- petitors have been driven almost wild and say things that in themselves sound ridicu- lous.
 Why there is more old stock, shop-worn stuff and shoddy goods displayed around town than we thought was in the entire city of New York.

The Peoples Party.

ST. LOUIS, July 15.-The peoples
party convention, which will be held
in the Auditorium next Wednesday,
will be an interesting struggle between
the leaders on the question of deposing
Chairman Taubeneck. Mr.. Taubeneck
has repeatedly stated that the conven-
ton would not endorse the candidates
of any other party and that the platform
that would be adopted would be mod
eled after the Omaha platform, with
such modification as changing condi-
tons demanded. As result of his op-
position to the wishes of what seems to
be majority of the party, it is stated
that Mr.. Taubeueck will be defeated
for reelection as chairman, and it is
part of the programme az it stands now
to elect new national committee with
a new man as its chairman. Another
thing that complicates the situation for
the populists is the sudden change of
front in the ranks of the silver party.
When it's convention was called to meet
in this city the date was set the same
as the peoples party convention, in
the belief that they were the closest to-
gether in their ideas as to what the
platform should be. At present the
silver party seems to be ready to en-
dorse the democratic platform and
nominees and to feel that its work has
been done. The silver party conven-
ton will meet in Exposition Music Hall
Wednesday, July %. There will be
1000 delegates, representing every
State and Territory in the Union.

A MINISTER DIsGRACED.-In 8
sensational bill filed in the Circuit
Court of Chattanooga, Tenn, Rev. W.
W. Anderson, of Daisy, Tenn, charges
Rev. J. J. Marker, presiding elder Of
the Methodist Church in that district,
with alternating his wife's affections.
Until recently Rev. Mr.. Anderson was
minister of the Methodist Church,
and held a pastorate in the district; but
differences arose between the elder and
the pastor, till at last the persecution
of the former led him to leave his own
church for the pulpit of the United
Brethren denomination. Out of
spleen, the plaintiff alleges, the elder
began to intrigue with an unscrupu-
lous sister of Anderson's wife, Mrs.
Agnes Albert, to separate Mrs. Ander-
son from her husband. They succeed
ed by insidious and false means in es-
tranging the wife, who one day disap-
peared very suddenly and mysterious.

and others equally prominent, after in
ducing Mrs. Anderson to leave her hus.
band, furnished her with money to
meet her travelling expenses, and aided
her to 60 to Virginia.

FIRED AT FAURE.

AS stated in the GAZETTE of that date
two shots were fred at President Faure
at Longchamps yesterday. The Presi-
dent escaped injury. The man who
fred the shots was captured, and but
for the police would have been lynched
by the crowd.
As President Faure, seated in an open
carriage and accompanied by NJ. Me-
line, the premier, and MN. Boisdeffre
and Tournier, appeared upon the re-
view ground, a well-dressed man, ap.
parently about forty years of age, who
had been leading against tree, took
deliberate aim and fred twice in quick
succession with a revolver at the Presi-
dent. The man had not time to fire
again before the crowd closed in upon
him and seized him, and but for the in.
tervention of police the man would
probably have been lynched.
The name of the miscreant is given
as Francois. Itappears that some time
ago, in order to draw attention to 8
supposed grievance which he harbored,
he fired a revolver in the hall of the
Chamber of Deputies.
The President of the republic, after
the shooting, showed no SYMPTOMS Of
alarm, and the open carriage in which
he was riding made no pause, but pro.
ceeded across the review ground to the
presidential tribune, where he was to
review the troops. who were out on pa
rade in honor of the anniversary of the
fall of the Bastile.
The man Francois, who fired the two
shots, was surrounded at the moment
by hundreds of people, whose attention
was, however, directed towards the
Presidents carriage. The immediate
! spectators OF the act, Mortified and in
dignant, rushed upon the shooter with
loud cries of ga mort !" 50 mort !"
On being taken to prison Francois
was Immediately examined, and stated
in reply to queries that he was a fore
man in the municipal Office of works.
The revolver from which the two shots
had been fred was still in his posses.
sion. 1t was small weapon of the
bulldog style, and its chambers still
contained four undischarged blank cart.
ridges. Francois claimed that the two
cartridges which he had discharged
were also blank, and that his purpose
in firing them was simply to create q
sensation, aud thus call attention to his
grievances. He was dismissed from his
position as foreman of municipal works
in June for sending threatening verses
to the President of the Municipal Coun-
Gil. After the excitement of the sensa-
tional firing upon the President from
throng of people had subsidized, the in
cident began to be regarded as only the
irresponsible and harmless act ola mad
man.
In the eighteen months that M.
Faure has been president there have
been three plots concocted Tor his as
sassination.
Emperor William has telegraphed
his congratulations to President Faure
on his escape.

MIR BRYAN ON PARTIES.

William ]. Bryan, democratic nomi.
nee for the presidency, and Mrs. Bryan
went to Centralia yesterday evening
from Salem, Mr.. Bryan's birth place,
where they had such an enthusiastic
reception. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan arrived
at 5:45 o'clock, and went to the home
of Capt. L. S. Dwight, cousin of Mr..
Bryan, where a reception was held.
In the evening MIR. and Mrs. Bryan
were taken in carriage to the City
Park, escorted by brass band and q
crowd of several hundred persons on
foot. Mr.. Bryan in the course of the
few remarks he made said:
II trust that the issues involved in this
campaign will be clearly understood and
carefully studied. Parties are not made to
be worshipped. They arc merely the instru-
menis by which We serve our country. The
people are made not for parties, but parties
are made for the people, and parties can only
parties arc efficient instruments in the hands
of people of accomplishing good. And those
who are called upon to vote have right to
consider the platform utterances or policies
advocated by the various parties, as well as
the character Of the candidates who ere
nominated. In this campaign it is conced-
ed on all sides that the greatest and most
important issue is the money question.
On this question the two great parties have
taken positions directly opposite to each 9TH
er, Four years ago tho positions taken by the
republican and democratic parties on the
money question were identical. The repub-
lican party said tho American people from
tradition and interest are in favor of bimetal-
lism, and the democratic party said: We
hold to the use of gold and silver as the stand
ard money of the country and to the coinage
of both gold and silver without discrimina-
ton against either metal Thus, you see
that both parties declared in favor of gold aud
silver as the money Of the country. Four
years have passed since those platforms we're
written, and those four years have been years
of momentous events, and as this campaign
approaches the two great parties line them.
selves upon this great question. I've not the
time nor disposition to talk to you at this
time, but want to impress upon your minds
two things. want you to ask two questions
which ought to BE- as led over and over again
in this campaign, each time with increased
emphasis, snd the two questions are these;
If the gold standard is good thing, why
ought we to try to get rid OF it?

The FATEs have apparently deter
mined that the coming Presidential
contest shall be between the poor peo-
ple on one side and the rich on the
other. Money, of course, will be large
factor in deciding it, for its influence is
potential. OF it, the democrats have
little; the republicans and the boilers, a
great deal, and, what's more, they will
spend it literally, as the gold standard,
a high tariff and no income tax will,
each and all, rebound to their own ex-
elusive interest: They will, therefore,
buy great many votesr, but is hardly
possible that their store ofwealth, large
as it is, can enable them to buy so
many as fair majority of the men OF
the country. Of course, after while,
the Presidency, like the Roman crown
will be sold to the highest bidder, but
it is hoped that the time for that, has
not yet arrived.

strength of the silver feeling, that 1t is

Smith has convictions and is not afraid
