The followers Of Bryan this fall
NAV be divided into two classes. First
there are the fiatists who believe the
government stamp makes money
and determines its purchasing power.
They believe that silver dollar is
better than gold dollar because the
bullion in it is worth less and that a
paper dollar. which promises to pay
nothing at anv stated time and which
in some mysterious way the nations
wealth and honor win keep afoat, is
better than either gold or silver. This
class ofBryanites inherits the delusions
of the old Greenback party. Argu
ment with them is for the most part
useless They are so welded to their
nntried theories that nothing but at
tempting to live with them will cure
their infatuation
The other class are mel who have
rational notions of the nature of mon
ey but who think silver has been
eheapened and gold made dearer by
legislation and especially by the Act Of
'73 which made gold the legal stand
ard of values as it had been before for
years the real standard. This class Of
people talks about a 200 cent dollar
and the increase in the value of mon
ey. TO sustain their position they
quote prices which now are less
than they were twenty-five years ago,

causes that have produced low prices.

sound Doctrine From Chairman Coe

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 2, 1896.
My DEAR SIR:-I have been informed
that there is an opinion with your
committee that the State Central COM
mittee favor the idea of calling Sena-
torial district conventions by assem-
bly, districts. do not know how this
idea originated for do not think it
has ever been favored by the Central
committee. At thepresent time certain
ly the committee is strongly commit
ted to the theory that all conventions
should be organized as far as possible
on popular representation-that is,
the delegates should be chosen from
conventions or caucuses representing
the individual voting precinct when
that is practicable of course State
conventions have to be composed of
delegations sent from smaller conven-
tions, but | should suppose that in
every case in Senatorial conventions
the delegates might properly come
directly from the original caucus.
This is the theory OF our committee as
understand it. OF course what
write is in no sense dictatory, but
merely explanatory OF what l believe
to be the best and common usage.
very Respectfully Yours,
EDWIN d. Coz.

BURGLARS STILL AROUND.
The Residence of William Dawson
II La Visited.

"
The two smooth people who have
been picking out during pusi-
ress hours we'll known citizens who
wear diamonds and then calling at
the residences of the gentlemen so
selected during the early hours or the
morning, made another selection and
also a call Friday night. Wlilam
Dawson, Jr.. cashier of the Bank or
Minnesota. was picked out as a gooo
thing by the pair and a call was
made at his residence, "a East central
avenue.
1t was about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning when Mrs. Dawson was ar
reused from her slumbers by a slight
noise as if some one was walking
about the bedroom. Her son, a youth
of eleven years, occupies a room adj
Joining that Of his mother. and think
ing the boy was i'll Mrs. Dawson called
to him and enquired what was the
matter Instead of being answered by
her son she heard a rush or Footsteps
in the hall and a noise as II some one
had run rapidly down the stairs. 1t
then dawned on Mrs. Dawson that
there were burglars in the house and
that the noise she heard was made
by the midnight prowler. She prompt
" gave the alarm and In few mo-.
ments the occupants of the house We're
UP and a tour of the house was MADE
for the combined purpose VI 1ANihS
out the thieves, if they had not al
ready gone, and to see what had been
taken. -
Nothing appeared to have been dis
turbed and it was at first thought the
burglars had been scared off before
anything Of value had been secured.
This supposition was nearly correct, as
the only article taken by the burglars
was the shirt which Mr. Dawson had
been wearing on Friday. This garment
was taken by one Of the prowlers as
he went out the room and was found
on the front stoop of the dwelling yes
terday morning. From the bosom OF
the garment, however, had been re-
moved a couple Of studs and a pair OF
gold sleeve buttons on which the In
itial ID" was set with chip diamonds.
Entrance was effected by a front Win
dow, which, according to the police,
had been left unfastened. The fact
that the screens on the windows or the
house had only been removed Thursday
would tend to show that the burglars
kept a close tab on the house and
timed their visit when there would be
little work to do in getting in the resi-
dence
