NOW FOR TIE P0PULISTS.

Now for the Populist National Conyen-
tion. 1t meets July % at st. Louis, and
the attendance is likely TO be very much
larger than at either the Republican or
Democratic gatherings. The hotels of st.
Louis do not expect to be overrun, but
keepers of boarding houses are preparing
to reap bountiful harvest
The old leaders are in favor OF the Omaha
platform, but some of the younger mem
bers want more practical politics and less
sentiment. The Omaha declaration de-
mands Government ownership OF the rail-
way and telegraph lines; the abolition of
the national bank system; the free coinage
OF silver; the resumption of the issuing of
greenbacks; the right of the citizen to bor-
row money Of the Government at a nom-
inal rate of interest; system OF storage
warehouses where farmers may store their
grain until satisfactory prices are reached ;
postal savings banks, and free trade in all
manufactured goods, but not in farm prod
ucts or raw material that is product of
this country.
Mr.. Taubeneck, who is the guiding spirit
of the Populist party, is of the opinion
that the party would make a grave mis-

programme; besides, in the one theory OF
government only the free coinage OF
silver are the parties at al in harmony,

gallery OF the exposition. The students had

their young, fresh and sonorous voices is said
to have been superb. 1t would add good

NOW HISTORY Is MADE.-Don Chisciotte,
Roman newspaper, has been amusing its
feauers Dy publishing q criticism on the first
performance of Verdis "Ernani,' which, it
says was published in ILLUSTRATION in 1876.
Inc paper adds that on its first performance
tne WORK was not entitled "Ernani," on ac-
count OF Victor Hugo's prohibition, but was
proouceo under the title of ''The Proscript."
since verdi wrote his 'Nabucco,'" says the
eritlc OF ILLUSTRATION, che has certainly made
progress. The composers thought seems now
10 De more clearly developed, the instrumental
tlon Is less noisy, and more regard is shown for
human voice. Sgnor Verdi is not yet prodigal
OF melody, but he is less miserly of it than
before, and his style has more force, warmth
ana dash. In the ensemble work he rises to
great power" The critic sums up his opinion
Oh the composer by saying: 'sThis opera does
not put Verdi among composers of the first
RANK, but he is musician of merit who has
some brilliancy and eclat For the rest, he is
young, and perhaps may do better. 1t viii be
worth paying attention to what he goes on
producing. If he succeeds in acquiring more
power for writing melody and learns TO vary
his effects, if he gets little more sensibility
ana passion, he may perhaps become one OF tbs
notable artists of his day"
Ihe strangest thing is that "Ernanf' was
nrst produced at Venice in 1874, under It's
present title. Perhaps it was pirated edition
OF the WORK that ILLUSTRATION criticized two
years later.
The financial difficulties of Abbey, schoeffel

WOMEN BICYCLE RIDERS.

In Washington, d. G., there is society
called 'The Woman's Rescue League
and just now it is making war upon the
bicycle as a means of rapid transit or
pleasure for women. The league pro-
claims that ''immorality is alarmingly on
the increase among American women ;"
and all because of the horrid bicycle. 1t
may be that the ladies of the Rescue
League are actuated by the loftiest and
most sincere motives, but for all that it is
unfortunate for themselves that they have
so little confidence in their sex. 1t may
be, too, that the rescuers are in a measure
right when they say that the bicycle pro-
NOTED immortality, but a mere assertion
that it is so does not make it so.
Undoubtedly the bicycle tends to more
familiar association between men and
women than some other ways of enjoying
companionship, but if the logic of these
rescuers is good TO apply to bicycle riding
it is good to apply to buggy riding or
walking. 1t is the guilty mind that
suspicion most troubles. No doubt women
would be safer if they were kept in seclu-
sion, and they would be safer still if they
were in their graves, but there would be
no thought of their safety if men were
fitted to coffins and the lids nailed down.
Now, a true woman does not compro-
mise her modesty a whit more on the
bicycle than she does riding on street.
car or buggy. All things are evil to the
evil-minded.
1t so happens that great many women
use the bicycle for convenience. They
have to go from place to place on legiti-
mate business, and it is quite as proper
to go on bicycle as it is to walk. Then
very many women ride the bicycle for
health and others for pleasure. and if
there be anything immoral in it it is dis
covered by others than those who ride
wheels. 1t is very true that some women
bicycle riders adopt costumes that might
be spiiced out little with the same kind
of material, but the same is very much
more true of some men bicyclists. The
fact is, these are not the days of the May
flower, but there are just as many good
and true women now as there were In
those days. The members of the Rescue
League might better attend to rescning
their own minds from the many unfounded
suspicious which appear to keep them in a
| state Of agitation.

THE cYCLoMETER CRANK.
