one David Fitzgerald advocates changing
the FIFTH District Congressional convention.
which is called to meet on the forenoon of
June 80, to 8 D. M, in order to accommodate
the laboring men who may be sent as dele,
gates In my opinion the change would
discommode the farmers to greater ex-
tent than it could possibly benefit the labor
ing men of the city. The farmer would be
compelled to stay in the city over night. at
an extra expense, and the loss of the greater
part of two days, instead of one. Further
more, there are laboring men out of EN-,
p,oyment who are probably more entitled
to represent the laboring masses, because
the unemployed are in the majority. and
therefore more in touch with our principles
and the cause of suffering humanity. l
therefore believe the change would be un-
wise. and hope the committee will SO con-
sider' it. Most respectfully yours.

candidate. The goldbugs would gladly grant
every reform in the Omaha platform lex

lowed to continue the gold standard. All
thew want-nay all they care for-is the
single gold standard. With this they can
control prices. and by controlling prices con-
troll labor and control the voter. Unless we
can revive the free coinage of silver, all
other reforms will prove worthless. Some

we have 100000 Populist votes in the United

ma then let each electoral ticket contain
the names of two-thirds Democrat electors
and one-third Populist electors. THIS would
enable us to retain uor organization, and
thus compel fair and just legislation. Yours

wrong with the majority in apparent tri-
umph.
We hold that the great work of social
evolution in this country, monetary reform
stands as the first requisite. No policy
however, promising of good results, can
take it's place. Continuation during the
next four years upon the present finan
cial system will bring down on the Ameri-
can people that cloud Of impending evil
to avert which should be the first thought
of statesmen and the first prayer of pat
riots.
Our institutions are at stake. Today,
with the rapidly increasing population,
with widely swelling demands, the basis Of
our money is relatively contracting and
the people are passing into a servitude
all the more dangerous because it is not
physically apparent The nation itself,
as to other nations, is losing the sturdy
courage which could make it defiant in the
face of injustice and international wrong
From the farmer and the tradesmen to the
government, there is apparent the same
shrinking from giving offense, lest the
vengeance Of some offended finacial power
shall descend. The business submits some
portion of it's international right lest some
foreign creditor shall make destructive de-
mands Where will all this end if the peo-
| pie shall decline to assert themselves?
| Where will it end if the older parties in
| their determination to maintain Them
| selves in power for powers sake alone
| shall refuse to recognize the right and the
| hope of humanity?
This country cannot much longer exist
| free and Independent against all the rest
| of the world nor can it's people much
| longer be free in the noblest sense of the
| term if the United States, a debtor ma
| ton, shall follow policy dictated by cred
| itor nations.

Other nations consume our product. In
the race for existence it is constant

Daisy Dean asks what is the most
appropriate cycling dress, and Of what
should it be made. Answer: The most
sensible and becoming cycling costume
is moderately short skirt, shirt waist,
blazer or jacket and well-fitting high
shoes, or. il low shoes are worn, pair
of trim overgaiters. A corset waisi
should be worn, as, of course, the reg
ular corset is not approved by any good
authority. One sensible wheelwoman
wears opera-length hose of black, a
short petticoat Of black satin, moder-
ately full and buttcned together in the
middle so as to give the effect of full
trunks. The skirt and jacket are of
rough-surfaced Priestley cravenette.
There is a vest Of black satin provided
to wear with it, also shirt waists and
blouses, when desired. A sailor hat
and thick gloves complete what is vot-
ed as one of the most practical outfits
Of the season. One advantage Of the
material is that it is strictly rain
proof.

how, on a visit some months ago to a
small town near Manchester, he came
across a portable theater, outside of
which was the announcement that the
play Of Hamlet" would that evening
be performed. Evening came and the
performance commenced. The curtain
descended at the conclusion of the first
act.
To the surprise of the audience and
amid much laughter, Hamlet popped
his head in front of the curtain, and,
addressing the orchestra, which con-
sisted of a solitary violin player, ex-
claimed, in tragic and reproachful
tones:
