st. Louis Convention

Editor Herald: The Populist conven-
tion which convenes in d day II two BIDS
fair to be the most important OF all 1T
is really of more vital interest to the
advocates of the single gold standard
and to those of free silver tnan II is 10
the Populists themselves.
Should it endorse Mr.. Bryan 1t means
the Waterloo of the Republican party,
and victory for the Democrats, ana par
tial victory for the Populists, for the lat
ter will at least gain one point.
The issue at stake is one OF such grave
Importance that all politicians of what
ever tenet throughout the entire coun-
try will wait with bated breath the re-
suits of the st. Louis convention.
The time is ripe and the people are
clamorous for the overthrow of the
moneyed powers of this nation.
In the convention near at hand lies
proud victory or defeat most ignoble.
Which shall it be? Alas! 1t makes one
shudder to contemplate.
In the opinion of many this campaign
is going to be the greatest political fight
this country has ever experienced. The
fight of the masses against the classes,
the fight of right aginst might, labor
against capital, poverty against
wealth.
o, that the parties would only unite,
throw aside their party tenets and pre-
JUDGES and form solid unbreakable
front and thus march on to victory
The old proverb, United we stand,
divided we fall" never needed to be ex-
pounded more than now. I'm unity there
is strength" and unless we unite in this
campaign we shall suffer base defeat to
be trodden down by capital worse than
ever.
Shall we sacrifice a partial victory
for such is free silver-for complete de-
feat? Or shall we stand shoulder to
shoulder and fight with all our strength
for one principle that will alleviate onl
suffering at least in part and show tc
the moneyed powers that we can make
them bite the dust when we will it.
o, working men! The power is in your
hands to defeat-will you do it? Or will
you continue to live on in poverty and
disgrace, subordinate to the lash OF cap
ital?
Heed not the narrow minded party
leader who would sacrifice all rather
than combine with and accept one good
plank in another's platform. Think for
yourselves and act accordingly.
While the Populist platform is perhaps
the best for the masses, yet, they are not
educated up to its principles at present
and therefore would not support it, One
has only to look back at the last state
elections to be convinced of this fact, so
why embrace certain defeat when
by combining force victory is assured
The gold bugs want nothing better
than to see three or four parties in the
field, and to secure this erd it is as pat
ent rs can be that tey will do all that
money and political conniving can do
for in this they know lies their only hope
of salvation.
We in the west especially want none
of them, so let us philosophize on this
silver question, give it trial and wait
the results. At least it cannot be worse
than now.

TRAUM

There is no sunlight in my phantom city,
NO moon, no stars to gimmer fitfully
But, clear as radiance of the holy chalice,
Streams out a wondrous light from the
great palace,
Which towering fronts the sea.
Thence come the strains of wierd, unearth-
ly music.
The dread mysterious harmonies of pain.
pain, once in the human heart i'm
planted,
Can find no voice save in the land en-
chanted,
And never dies again.
The rhythmis chanting of band of shad-
oWS,
Swelling and ebbing with the waters flow,
In finite sorrow, then in infinite yearnng
Their song bursts forth, the echoes faint
returning.
To perish soft and slow.

IN THE POLITE WORLD

Mrs. Modini Wood, that ever charm
ing hostess and one of Los Angeles
most graceful dispensers of hospitality.
entertained the Monday Musical club
yesterday at her summer home Boehme
Villa, Santa Monica. The pleasures of
the club were not confined entirely to
the domains of the hospitable home, a.
a special car on the electric road con-
Neyed the guests to and from Santa
Monica. The spin down and back
through the pretty country, the ideal
day for the occasion and the merry con-
versation and lively arguments on topics
OF the day marked the afternoon as one
OF the most delightful ever participated
in by the club. After a cordial welcome
from Mrs. Wood the following program
was presented which was opened by
violin solo by Miss Mullins. Mrs. Scar
borough sang Storm and Sunshine, by
Dudley Buck, followed by a charming
cradle song. Mrs. Modini Wood con-
tributed with song-waltz. by Comes.
There were two violin solos by Mrs.
Hugh Macneil, and song by Mrs James
Burdett, and violin solo by Miss Fuller.
Tempting refreshments We're served, the
refreshing ices being formed into open
books of music. The decorations were in
keeping with the pleasant affair, one
especially pretty conceit being table
covered with ferns on which rested a
bowl of punch. Mines. w. ]. Washburn,
Jennie Kempton. w. H. Perry, Larabee
and Koepfi assisted Mrs. Wood in re.
ceiving. Among the guests were Mines.

to express your choice for president and
vice-president of the United States, but
cut out the ballot you will find elsewhere

which body will take place on Nov. 0. includes
bills dealing with emigration an amendment to
the workingmen's insurance system, and n
measure providing for reform OF the system of

occurred in q cafe in Carlsruhe last Tuesday
evening.
A civilian named Siebemann upon entering
the cafe iostled against n chair upon which
Lieutenant named Brusewitz was sitting. Tho
latter rose from his chair and roughly pushed
Siebemann away. at the same time demanding
that he apologize. Sisbemann replied. Leave

and threw himself upon Siebemann.
Several persons who were present interfered,
and SIebemann for the timo escaped. Bruse-

found Siebemann In n passage. when he locked
tho door, barring all egress or ingress. and
him through with his sword.

Princeton Men Rounding Into Shape
Rapidly.

PRINCETON Oct. ia marked Improvement
has been noticed in the football practice on
Princeton's varsity field during this week. The
coachers have made the line as strong as is pos
sble with the material at hand. and the men
are becoming used to their positions and each
other, so that from now on better team work is
looked for. The experiments that tho coachers
have been making In the line now practically
at an end, and with tho single exception of right
tackle 1t may safely be said that il changes are
made during the rest OF the season it will be
only because of injury to the men who are now
filling the positions.
Last year Tyler was not considered heavy
enough 10 play tackle on the varsity AS it
should be played. until he was compelled To 90
in on account of Lea's injury. but this season
by clever handling he has developed into a
fairly good guard. Capt. Cochran considers

Sensational Reports About Russia Dis.
Credited Baals OF an A Arrangement.


BERLIS, Oct 1.-THE story published In to-
dav's issue of the Vienna Neue Freie I'rcssc ul-
leging that the Russian War Office has ordered
all OF the regiments in the districts of Kietf,
odessa. and Charkon to be at once put upon
full war footing, and that all officers on leave OF
absence and the retired list have been recalled
TO service is utterly discredited here. Nothing
IS known in official circles here showing that
Russia is mobiliZing troops and the assertion OF
the NetG Freie ITesse that the movement on the
part OF Russia lis a step toward the complete
mobilization of the Russian forces and portends
that Russia will receive European manda ate to
occupy ConstRntinople" Is regarded as too ab-
surd to he worthy OF notice.
t3The Pestlcr Lloyd and the Vienna Polftische
COrrsspointnz concur in saying that a concert
of the powers has been arranged upon the
probable basis OF the maintenance OF the ter
ritoral status quo of Turkey but uuon
European control OF the Turkish adminstra-
ton. This statement concurs with the advices
recently cabed in these dispatches which
were obtained from official sources.
