FOR THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The Establishment at the Academy of
Music Next Tuesday Night.

The Entertainment at the Academy OF
Music Next Tuesday Night.
EDITOR OF The TIMES: A good public
library has been among the long felt
wants of our city. A nucleus, around
which suoh an institu ton may grow, ex-
lists already. Every citizsn who loves to
see his town make progress in all good
things-in intellectual as we'll as in ma
terisl lines-should feel an interest in
the building up of an institutio of this
kind.
For this reason it has seemed to me
that all should give hearty support to
the concert that ia to be given at the
Academy on next Tuesday night under
the direction o: w. VALLEY Davis. Those
who know Mr.. Davis and others who are
to take part in the concert, cannot but
be assured that the entertainment will
be of high order. We have good OPP
portunity to show our appreciation of
home talent, and also to lend assistance
to an institution that can be made of
great value to our city.

No Kick Coming.

Broadway at the rate of ten miles an
hour had como within q hairbreadth
of running me down followed it up for
three or four blocks until it came to q
halt beside the curbstone.
''Do you know" 1 said to the driver,
who grinned as he saw me approach,
''that you nearly ran me down ten min
utes ago."
yes, sir, he promptly replied.
"You had mo in between your car
riage and cable car, and it was a close
cali"
ayes, it was, sir -
"You didn't even try to pull up your
horse" persisted.
"No, SIR"
"Then you didn't care whether you
ran me down or not?"
"No. SIR
well, that's cool! Are you in the
habit Of killing people who may be
crossing the street as you come along?''
Not in the habit, no, sir. You see,
it was this way. A gent picks mo up at
the Fifth Avenue and wants to git down
to the Star theater in five minutes.
can't git him there in five, but can in
eight if there isn't block and the
wheels stay on, and does it and gets 90
cents extra.
''But where do come in?''
You? Why, you escaped with your
life. and there's no kick coming to you.
Wait till you are run down and killed
and then lot the wildly do tho kickin.

vsntion act as it now promises, it will
be its duty by aso Of tho greater
numbers and superior organization OF
the democracy IN states which must be
carried to win. to approve Its nominees
and cast all It's influence for their cleo
ton. Where in the political history OF
this country has another party with
1000, 900 OF votes behind it for the
sake of a measur nominated q candi-
dates OF an opposing party and turned
all OF Its power to elect them?
"But whatever it does it will do as a
party. It will do OF it's own free will and
because the prosperity of the country
is sc dependent upon the Measure that
political sacrifices of the greatest magni-
tude should be cheerfully made to
secure it.
"But after a president and congress,
this obligation to silver ceases. The
peoples party will as the News believes,
cheerfully unite with all genuine silver
men of Colorado in the selection OF state
and other local officers, If the union can
be effected on a fair and honorable
basis. But only upon that condition.
Populists will not. nor should they, aid
in the election Of nominees OF other
parties to local offices unless upon
terms at once honorable and patriotic.
II such terms cannot be arranged, then
the populists will enter upon the local
contest, if necessary, a democrats
nominee, renominated by their own
national convention, at the head OF
their ticket for president, but with their
own nominees-quallfied, honorable,
conservative members OF the party-for
every local position that IS to be filled.
Such a ticket the News believes would
be victorious. 1t would deserve to be IN
any event.
Therefore the popullsts OF Colorado
should organize, and do so promptly
and effectively. They can set an
example OF patriotic devotion to prln-
ciple, and at the same time put them
selves in a fighting and victorlons con-
dltion ready for anv exertlon that duty
