THE greatest combination we have
seen suggested for a free coinage
ticket is the one proposed by Coin"
Harvey. 1t suggests making the
promise of Cabinet appointments an
open feature of the campaign, which
is not bad idea at all. Following
is the ticket and Cabinet he sug-
gests.
Richard P. Bland, of Missouri, to
be nominated for President, and if
elected give him the appointment
of one Cabinet officer only, Secre-
tary of State. Let the Democrats
indorse the Populist nominee for
Vice President on the Populist tick
ct, Senator Marion Butler Of North
Carolina. Let the Populists indorse
the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent. Let Mr.. Butler, if elected,
dictate the appointment of Secre-
tary Of the Interior, Secretary of
Agriculture, Secretary of War. and
Secretary of the Navy. Concede to
the silver Republicans three Cabi-
net positions-Senator Teller of
Colorado, Secretary of the Treasury;
Judge Caldwell of the United States
Circuit Court, Attorney-G General,
and Mayor Pingree of Detroit,

On Friday evening of last week
Prof. ]. M. Woods, the blind mu-
stefan, gave ali entertainment at
the Odeon Hall. 1t was not very
largely attended, but those who
were there were treated to some de-
lightfnl violin music. The Prof.
also sang some funny and senti-
mental songs. and rendered some
good guitar music. At the close OF
the entertainment there was a So
cial dance for an hour or so. The
entertainment was well worth the
price of admission and those who
failed to attend missed a musical
treat not often offered.

The editor of the National Bi-

lican in principle ever since he was
old enough to think, proud of the
origin Of the party, proud of its
achievements and proud of th9 great
names ii has emblazoned in i'm
perishable letters upon the pages Of
our country's history. But the
glories of Lincoln and Seward and
Chase and Grant and Garfield and
Blaine can never atone for the short
comings of the party in 1896. He
cannot swallow whatever lot of
subselvient politicians attempt to
put in his mouth merely because
Lincoln was grand and noble
character. Lincoln was the friend
of the common people, q human
itarian in the truest and pprest
sense, but the gold standard is the,
instrument of despotic wealth and
the oppressor of the poor. Believ-
ing that the cause of bimetallism
is the cause of humanity, the most
important issue before the people of
this country, he is left no alterna-

THE New York Tribune in COM
menting on Senator Tillman's late
speech in Cooper's Hall, New York,
says the Senator "ranted and rallied
at everything, especially the Wall
Street Banks, and the immense
audience cheered wildly about
things which they knew nothing
about" AS Senator Tillman's
speech was mostly about the fnan-
cial situation and free coinage, and
the people were wild with enthusi-
asm to hear some man with courage
enough to denounce the gold thieves
in good English language, it is no
wonder that the Tribune tries to
make light Of the speech. But that
journal is off its base if it thinks
the people did not. know what they
were whooping about, and the cleo
ton in that State will demonstrate
this fact next Fall.

JOHN w. BREIDENTHAL, Chair
man of the Populist State Commit
tee, has an original scheme for the
election of free silver President.
He believes that there will be no
fusion of silver forces on one presi-
Dental candidate, but he thinks
that there can be on electoral tick
cts in the several States. His plan
is for the Populists to indorse the
Democratic electors in States where
the Democrats have the most votes,
the Democrats indorse the Populist
electors where the Populists have
the most, and the Democrats and
Populists to Endorse the Teller
electors in the Mountain States. In
such States as Texas, he says, it
would be safe for the Democrats and
Populists to run separate tickets.
After the November elections,
should the combined free silver fore
es have a majority Of the Electoral
College, his plan is for Convention
Of the silver electors to be held for
the election of a President, under
the two-thirds rule. lfthey should
not be able to elect one Of the party
nominees, they could go outside Of
that field and pick a man up on
whom two7thirds, could agree, and
that man be afterward voted for and
elected in the Electoral College.

THERE is hardly doubt that the
silver men will be able to control
the Natio lal Democratic Convention
at Chicago, when it meets next
Tuesday, ard all indications point
to the nomination of r. P. Bland
for President. 1t is hoped the sill
yer forces will make no mistakes.
The time has come when it will take
the com bined forces of silverites to
down the gold bugs, but the open
ing is good if no mistakes are made.
Bland or Teller is the choice of the
West, and if either of these men are
nominated it is an assured fact that
he will carry every State west Of
the Missouri river. Silver has the
best show to win this year that it
has ever had for the past sixteen
years, and the people of Nevada
pray that politics may be left out
Of the campaign this year as much
as possible, and the true iseue rep
resented in its true light to the peo-
pie, and that they may be wise
enough to see the necessity ofstand-
ing together for their own interests.

Good Advice to Tradesmen.

No matter what you sell, advertise
it, with your name and address as a
matter of necessity, but don't place
your name at the top of the advertise
ment in the largest type, followed by
a conglomeration of what you make,
so mixed up, and so insignificant, that
one can't separate the wheat from the
chaff.
1t is not the business of the adver-
tisement to sell goods. 1t is to assist
your statesmen and your catalogue in
selling.
1t is the business of the advertise
ment to create correspondence, to sep
arate the probable from the possible
customers, to bring into your office
letters which indicate that certain
people desire certain goods, and it is
then your business and the business of
your employees to sell them.
Unless the quality of the goods, and
the quality of the advertising harmon
ize there is no profit in publicity, ex-
cept that transient profit that no de-
cent man cares about
The conventional advertisement has
q value although IL has looked back

The man on the mule was combi-

He presently got off his mule and be-

Hard l. e. for Indians and logs When the

Hard l. r. for indians and Iogs when the
BuIb Iu dictates "a Eelow Zero.
From Harper's Magazine.
In front of the stockade at La Biche
were gossiping groups that grew with
each fresh arrival, while scattered all
about the inclosure, just where their
drivers had left them, were the dog
trains of the Indians who had come to
fill Gardeners house and eat the Hud-
son Bay company's meat. There was
no stabling nor feasting for these
dogs; in a "a degrees below zero at
mosphere they stretched out in the
snow and waited, without covering,
and in many places without food. The
Indians, with their blanket coats or
capotes, and the dogs and sledge and
Jumpers" made a picturesque whole
against the unbroken background of
snow, but, like all Indian pictures, its
attractiveness faded away on the close
inspection that discovered the dirt of
the man and the scraggy, half-starved
condition of the beast.
These people had never before seen
a camera, and many of my plates
show them scurrying away or turning
their backs. 1t was only after the
most elaborate descriptions to Card
ner, who instructed the interpreter,
who explained to the Indians. that we
induced one or two types" to sit in
our presence while Heming sketched
them. They thought we were making

A. few days since a gentleman came
up from Red Bluff to meet young
lady who was expected on the IL

whom he was to be married the next
day. The first thing he did was to go
to hotel to engage two rooms, one
for himself and the other for his in

room, but that was all. The others
were all occupied.
While pondering on his unpleasant
situation, and the prospect of his hav-

idea on the arrival of the train to take

troubles would be over. Justice Cor

being explained to him, he good ma
turedly agreed to sit up till midnight,
and, when the bride arrived, he per-
formed the ceremony which enabled
the couple to get along without fur
ther worry about the crowded condi-
ton of the Redding hotels
The gentleman who so readily rose
to the occasion was Henry L. Smith OF
Red Bluff, and his bride was Alice

why the Chinese Were Defeated.

The examinations for officers in the
Chinese army still. as from time inn
memorial, consisted in firing from a
bow on horseback and in lifting heavy
weights, while the greater number of
their soldiers were still armed with
bows and arrows, and with huge
spears resembling pitchforks. Their
main trust, even in the recent war, was
in the heavy "gingall," firing a ball OF
about half a pound weight from 9
brass piece on the shoulders of two
men. That this should be possible
