(Continued)

We did not leave for our mis-
sions until some time in October
when we bid good bye to Slap-jack
Bar. Reaching Sacramento City
we hired rooms on j Street to
await the arrival Of our President,
who was to join us. The cholera
was raging in the city. After wait
ing q few days for Elder Clark, who
had not put in an appearance, we
left few things for him, also
note, and went down to San Fran
cisco and awaited his arrival which
was not until the 9Th day of No
yember. In San Francisco the
cholera was taking off its score
daily. On the 9th Of November
Elder Clark engaged our passage
on the ship "Imaun Of Muscat," an
English Vessel, with Mr.. Riches
as captain. She is bound for the
East Indies and will touch at the
Sandwich Islands. Elder Black

after which we took hold of the
anchor-chain and with ease raised
the anchor up on deck.
On account of head winds the

Likely to be a very remarkable conven-

comprise that conventiC1 has in it ele-
ments capable of surprising the entire
country. There is, Of course, possibility
that the proceedings may be orderly, the
platform moderate and the candidates rep
reseEtative of the democratic party. bu.
such combination Of eventualities would
be more surprising than any of the situa-
ticns now regarded as possible. At this
moment there is affluence of all that is
extreme and dangerous in politics. while
with the passing of each hour there are

POpulist Anxfetiea.

The populists insist that unless Mr. Teller
Is nominated at Chicago the silver move
nent this year will fail. They are more
urgently for him than he is for himself
Mr. Teller does not regard his own leader
ship as essential to silver's success That
he would accept the Chicago nomination is
plain enough, but he states in a letter that
he will support, and that all other friends
OF silver should support, any good and sim
cere friend of silver the convention may put
up. He deprecates carpngs and nice dis
tirctions- 1t Is silyer's year. he thinks, if
the friends of silver will only get togethe-
Why this difference between the view of
the situation taken by the populists and
that taken by the man they exalt above all
others?
The success of silver this year even under
the leadership of a pronounced democrat
would make Mr.. Teller power in national
affairs. He might be called into the cabi-
net of the new President as Secretary of
the Treasury. But. in any event. his coun-
sci would be sought by the new adminis-
tration, and his advice have great weight
No ex-republican friend of his would suffer.
All such contributions to the success of
the cause would. 1T is believed be remem-
bered and rewarded. But would the popu-
lists fare so well?
The populIst feeling on the subject is thus
explained. A majority of that party are

lynchins. but it is not powerful enough to
voluntarily convict neighbors of this vari-

If the Randolph murderers are to be
captured. and if certainty is to be attained
as to the Buxton murderer, the governor
of Maryland will have to set the ma
chinery in motion. few words from
him and the arrests Will only be matter
of a few days. Many people in Mont
gomery county know who were in the
lynching party. One or two shrewd de-
tectives could quickly possess themselves
of every essential fact. The state of
Maryland has been disgraced. Two
lynchings have, within a few days of each
other, spattered mob-shed blood all over
the name of which Marylanders are so
proud. Port Tobacco and Rockville are
practically unknown TO the country at
large. but Maryland has a reputation TO
sustain: a reputation which, in these mat
/. ters, Is in the hands of Marylard's chief
executive. What will he do with it?
Washinstons interest in Maryland's rep
utatioa is not merely sentimental. Thous-
ands of Washinstonians have summer
homes in the suburbs. where the lynchers
have been SO freely and so recently
gagged. Other thousands doubtless have in
contemplation plans for suburban resi-
dence- 1t is a matter of direct personal

Another anti-tipping movement is under
way. As a rule these crusades are con-
Quoted by people who have practically
been compelled to offer gratuities in order
that decent service might follow, but this
time the anti-tippers are of the men who
&C ssity demanded tribute. The leaders of
the anti-tip refcrmerS are members of the
BARRIERS International Union Of America !;
an organization which has declared for
personal freedom and individual dignity.
1t must not be supposed. though, that all
the members of that union are reformers.
Some of them imagine that tips constitute
net gain and are as therefore strong in
their opposition to what they believe would
be a reduction of income. 4 writer in
Gunton's Magazine argues against that
proposition. He says that there is no class
whose general income is increased by
tips. The income is made precarious
and fluctuating. depending on the whms
of customers and the degree of servility
of the laborer. The permanent effect Of
tipping is not to enlarge the income, but
to lessen the man. The system is unques-
tiOnably degrading; un-American in every
respect from the standpoints OF both giver
and receiver. 1t will continue though. un-
til the employees insist that their employers

tions for different reasons and at different
times. but all Of them under circumstances
that caused heated controversy when the
severance took place. Some of them have
assisted since in local democratic over
throws. Nearly all are on democratic black
lists for one cause or another. Would not
this record arise to plague them in case a
straiShtout democrat should reach the
White House through the agency of an or
ganization composed in the main of demo-
Gratis? They fear SO. The temptation
would be great for the new administration
to lend itself to Strengthening the party Or
ganization in all of the old democratic
stronSholds: and the populists believe that
In such shuttle they would be lost. But
with Mr.. Teller in the White House they
would have no apprehensions on that score.
A bolter himself, he would feel for boilers; !;
would, they believe, have special consider
alton for boilers: would best appreciate the
claims of the different participants in the
coalition, and endeavor to protect all in
their rights and efforts at recognition.
These points may all be brought out very
prominently and pointedly at st. Louis on
the I'D instant. The populists will meet in
national convention then to determine upon
a line of conduct. Suppose the Chicago
convention meanwhile shall have nomi-
mated straightout democrat for President.
Suppose Mr.. Teller shall have approved Of
the selection, and advised support not only
on the part of all silver republicans, but
all populists as well. Will the populists
heed him? Will they forego their deterrni-
nation. now expressed, to oppose such ac-
ton by nomination of their own? And
will they affix any conditions to support
SO offered?
The sailing. of course, will be plain
enough if the democrats take Mr.. Teller.
Then the populist convention will be but
a ratification meeting, conducted with as
much enthusiasm as possible. and war
ranted to bring all of the brethren into the
coalition fold in November. But what
would ticket SO supported be called?
The democratic-populist ticket? or the
pcpulist-democratic ticket? And how would
the hyphen affect it before the people?

Began This rlorning.

THE above plain statement
OF itself ought to crowd the
store. No doubt you re-
member our famous Surplus
Stock Sale" of about year ago.
1t marked an important epoch
in the history of shoe selling.
Its effect on Our business was
felt for months-and is felt to-
day.
We have inaugurated a SINH
lar sale, and forty-hve thousand
dollars worth of shoes are now
at your mercy. The heavy Win
ter business led us to expect an
enormous spring and summer
trade, and we bought enormous
ly, and as it now turns out, we
bought too many. There is
nothing "weak-kneed" about
our policy, and the price
pruning knife has been applied
mercilessly.
1t is not possible to enumerate
all of the special lots in even a
page of The Star, so we can only
give a few hints.
If you need shoes or expect
to need shoes, for months to
come, you should buy them
now, for never in the history of
the shoe business have such
shoe bargains been offered.
