and know no reason why l should abandon
my party or desert its colors. There Is to my
mind no reason why it was not as much our
duty to vote for Weaver four years ago as for
Bryan to-day. The Omaha platform declared
fos free coinage end was no more obJectlop-
able than the Chicago platform; and Bryan IS
vouched for by leading Populists as being "s
good Populist as lives" The Populists have
not changed in the past four years. 1t Is we
who are expected 10 join their aggregation.
Others may find it wise or expedlent, but
won't do it. Whenever the course of events
could make it possible that should speak
from the same platform as Tillman or Waite,
or Ignatius Donnelly, in advocacy of the same
Presidential candidate, know there must be
something wrong with me. What we need IN
Colorado is less Mysteries and more common
sense.
We have glorious resources yet in the In
fancy of their development; we are suffering
from the imposition of a mistaken financial
policy, which it is our natural and proper de-
sire to see overthrown as speedily as possible.
We are one of forty-six States in the Union,
each free and sovereign. Within our borders
live about one one-hundred-and-fftiet OF the
people of the United States. We live in re-
public where the majority rules. The vast
majority of the people of the United States are
honest and of high average intelligence ana
devoted to the perpetuity of free institutions.
Our great desire is to induce ma jority OF the
people OF the United States to believe as we be-
lieve. The wsy to the accomplishment OF this
result is not by vituperation and abuse. The
press of the country, East as well as West, is
largely responsible for the bitter sectional
feeling now sought to be invoked.
IL is for US who do not own or control ne VS.
papers, and are not in the business of throw
ing mud, to remember that of the millions OF
people who will cast their ballots this fall
nearly all are as patriotic as we are, and, with
u.s. equally desirous that this Republic shall
live and not die. The people of the East are
our brothers. we sprung from the same loins,
we have a common country, common faith
and the same dear flag. This gospel of hate
which is now being preached should ind no
followers among sane men, no welcome among
good citizens.
We who believe in the free coinage OF both
gold and silver at our mints, at the ratio here
tofore existing, will secure the adoption of our
views when we are able to induce the majority
of our fellow-citizens to share our belief, when
people who do not agree with us shall be led
to agree with us, not alone because OF our ar
guments on finance. but because our views on
other great questions entitle us to public con-
fidence and respect. Free coinage will never
come, in my opinion, out of the jumble and
folly of the Chicago platform, nor will 1t be
heralded by the cap and bells of Populist.

FLOAT HAWAIIAN BONDS.
Efforts to Negotiate a Loan of
$3,33o,ooo in the United
States.
General News of the Islands That Is
of Interest to California
Readers.

HONOLULU, HAWAII, July 23.-The
Government has completed the details of
arrangements with Peter G. Jones of Hon.
olulu, who represents California syndi-
cate, for floating the new Hawaiian loan of
S3. 100000. The loan is to run twenty-five
years at 4 per cent with the privilege Of
fifty years at the same rate.
1t is learned from Government sources
that it is the desire OF the Cabinet to have
this loan placed in the United States if
possible in preference to taking it to Eng
land, where it must otherwise go. Mr..
Jones will leave for California in about a
month, ana the state ment is made upon
his authority that, in hopes of having the
loan taken up in the United States, the
Hawaiian Government has authorized him
to offer the bonds there at95. The Min
lister OF Finance has lately made public
statement which shows the finances of the
islands to be in the best condition.
The court-martial trial of Captain John
GOOD for melting sedition and for behavior
unbecoming an officer and gentleman is
going slowly forward, and will proba bly,
not be concluded for over week. The
prosecution has yet seven witnesses, and
Twelve or more will be introduced for the
defense. Nothing new has developed, and
sympathy remains with Captain Good.
Some who claim inside knowledge declare
that in case a conviction is reached the
Government will demand the designations
of both Captain Good and Colonel Nc
Lane, who is urging the charges against
the former.
This morning the Advertiser published
the following extract received here by the
Australia, written TO Thomas G.. Thrum
by his son, d. T. Thrum. The Hammond
referred to is the San Francisco agent of
the American Bible Society:
"Mr. Hammond, in talking with me on
island affairs. said that within one year
Hawaii would probably be annexed, as he
had Just returned from the East, and
while there had personal interview with
his intimate friend, Major Mckinley, who
said that the islands ought to be annexed,
or words to that effect"
Mr.. Hammond is spoken of here by
those who claim to know as the warm per-
sonal friend of Mckinley. and one to whom
he would be likely to state candidly his
attitude toward the islands and annexa-
ton in case of his election.

Government thermometer registered SO

These are the figures registered on the top

AT P. NJ the promised stormcloud ap-

as to almost create panic. With the
memory of the recent tornado still fresh

a cloud from the southwest which was a
mass of black in the center and shaded off
to dull copper color. High wind came
with the cloud and the fear deepened.

occurred and the 5000 people fed to the

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 31.-The first
quarterly meeting of the steel manufac-
turers who formed a combination some
months ago FOR the purpose of protecting
and equalizing the price of steel biilets
was held to-day at the Holland House. 1t
was an important gathering in one re-
spect. viz: that it settled the permanency
of the organization.
The conference of committees showed
that the working principles of the COM
bine had largely benefited the manufac-
turers of iron and steel bille.s. That is
all any one concerned in the gathering
would say.
In connection with this meeting rumor
went the rounds that there was trouble in
the com bination, which is the strongest in
the iron and steel trade ever organized.
It was said that there was considerable
dissatisfaction among the smaller firms,
who. it was alleged, charged the Carnegie
Company of Pittsburg and the Illinois
Steel Company of Chicago with having
grabbed the greater share of the business
done in the trade since the organization
of the pool at the Waldorf Hotel on April
5 last.
had been made by the alleged dissatisfied
manufacturers, and that to-day's meeting
had been specially called to smooth mat
ters over.
The price OF billets was discussed at
length and arranged according to the
location of the mills.
One price that was definitely set is that
of $50 25 per ton for the Pittsburg district,
which is by far the most important of any
in the country. OF the twenty-seven COM
panies which make up the combination
twenty were represented at to-day's meet
ing.
