From the New York Sun.
The rain fell yesterday, but 1t could not
chill the ardor of the Hon. Charles James
Faulkner. chairman of the Popocratic COM
mittee on prophecies and claims. On the
contrary, he made the rain boil by merely
looking at 1t with soft, warm eyes. He sat
in the prophecy and claims office. which Is
hung with rose-colored satin and dadoed
with daises. The chairs are brazen tri-
pods, covered with rose velvet. fountain
plays rose leaves and warm water, while
a band composed Of sixteen flutes plays
the Bryan Marsellaise," the Hobo
March," and other favorite Popocratic
melodies. The chief prophet lay upon
lounge. supported by three tripods. and
toyed thoughtfully with the tassels of his
red brocade dressing gown. embroidered
with silver dollars. He was smoking dol
lar cigar and thinking Of the 'toilins
Masses" Suddenly the prophetic fit struck
him. The vision had come. 1--WE will car
ry everything" he cried in silver tones,
'fncluding Massachusetts and Pennsyl-
vania. Hanna has given up Arkansas.
Hurrah! Send out kilograms to inform the
country that the prospects In Oklahoma
are most encouraging. Arizona is nearly
another dollar cigar, and resumed his
thoughts about the "toiling masses"
Why Not Stamps for the FarmerR
From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Farmer-"Heres half bushel of pota-
toes I wish you would sack them up for
me and stamp the bag as holding a BUSH

Urcle Sam-"who will furnish the sack?'
Farmer-"You will, of course"
Urcle Sam-"Well you've got more gall
than potatoes to ask me to play a fraud of
that sort on the people. and to pay for the
sacking myself"
Farmer-"Why, that is what the fellow
who has got half dollar in silver expects
his so cents as dollar"
Uncle Sam-"Well. you wait until do 1t

Farmer-"well, thought I'd better be in
time, so when he wanted to buy potatoes
with his 50-cent dollar I'd have the sack
fiNec for him..
Uncle Sam-"But he wouldn't take your
Eaif bushel for bushel"
Farmer-"Well, then. I wouldn't take his
half dollar for a dollar. If your stamp on
his silver doubles It up 1t ought to double
the potatoes, too, all. right"

Of profit.
Late in the fall the deacon started from
his farm in Vermont with a drove Of hogs
for the Brighton market. The weather was
cold. the ground frozen hard, and the poor
pigs soon grew weary and foot-sore. and
one by one they succumbed to the fatigue
and lameness and died out.
But he kept on as the drove diminished,
and at last, as he was near his journeys

the ghost.

looked upon the last Of his flock, 'T got

People who are familiar with the meth
DDS and character of the Populist party in
Kansas are not at loss for an UNDER
standing OF how Chairman John Breiden-
thai became goaded into writing the now
famous Vincent letter. The Populist lead
ers never pay cent toward campaign ex-
penses II they can possibly get out of it.
Mr.. Breidenthal has been trying to keep
great state campaign alive on fund
which he declares Is less than $500. and be-
cause he could not do n his portion has
been curses. The Populists will not sup
port their own newspapers, and the con-
sequence is a lot of half-starved publica-
tions which would be disgrace to Ar
kansas. They had daily paper in the
Topeka Co-Operator. but they allowed IT
to go to the wall. taking Breidenthal along
in return for his efforts to keep it alive.
The Co-Operator became indebted to the
Kansas Farmer In the sum of about s6oD
for paper and press work. Breidenthal
went upon the compaHy's notes to lift this
sum. and now a court Judgment for the
amount hangs over him. The paper was
finally forced to suspend because the Farm
er no longer would do its press work. As
an illustration of the way the Populist
leaders treat Breidenthal it is related that
he applied to Judge Bashore for a cam
paign subscription when the latter was up
on the bench. BashOre sent him y. Later
the Judge made a campaign of his own dis
trict and sent Breidenthh bill Of ST for
expenses. Another Populist Judge wrote
Breidenthal that he could not contribute
because he had already given the congress
sional committee all the money he could
spare Breidenthal wrote the congressional
committee and found that the Judge had
also refused to contribute there. alleging
that he had given the state committee all
the money he could spare. Breidenthal
feels that he Is among pack Of wolves
and shysters and 1t Is not to be wondered
at that he has grown Desperate
