THE MORTON CADETS
Champion Military Company to Hold
an Elaborate Fair.
RIFLES HALL 4 BOWER OF BEAUTY
Interesting Sketch Of the Career Of
the Organization.
LADIES TO TAKE CHARGE
LADIES TO TAKE CHARGE

The Morton Cadets of this city. officially
designated Company A, Sd Battalion, Dis
trict of Columbia National Guard. and the
holder of the title champion military
company of the United States" have for
mally invited the public to participate in
their fair, which will be opened in National
Rifles Armory Monday evening next, and
which will continue for a fortnight.
The story of this company's plucky fight
for prominence among the military organi-
cations of the country is familiar to many.
The company was organized in 1890 by q.
number OF members Of the High School
Cadets, and for two years continued to
exist as an Independent military organiza-
ton. Then, in '92, the boys associated
themselves with the District National
Guard, and were assigned as Company B,
I'd battalion, and as such flourished for
year or two. commanded in turn by Capt
Z. Fred Cook, Lieut. S. c. Redm n and
Capts. l.. H. Reichelderfer and % A
Shilling.
In the summer of 1894 after the return
OF the victorious National Fencibles and
Emmet Guard from the Little Rock inter-
state drill. the youthful soldiers were fired
with a burning desire to achieve fame as a
drill team, and decided 10 open their career
by entering the contest at Alexander
Island Here they took second plize and
IN the flush of victory determined to attend
the then approaching drill at Memphis
In Tennessee the Morton Cadets were at
once the favorites, and their success in
capturing second prize was more warmly
applauded than was The triumph of the
Ihurston Rifles, who were first In excel
lence.
On their return from Memphis there was
oegun thorough reformation in the civil
a1.d social affairs of the company, and hav-
ing shortly before the Memphis drill been
transferred from the I'd to the I'd Rat
TALON as Company A, they deemed it
proper to be the senior company. not alone
IN name. but in worth. During the winter
tnat or 10 and 96, they further established
their right to the title Of CHAMPIONS by
winning the Corcoran Cadets prize cup in
a competition with the National Rifles.

Thus they are now the national champions

School Cadets and the District militia they
claim the support of the friends of lsorh in
their efforts to keep the military champion
ship in the city of Washington.
Although the subject has before been
brought to the attention of the company, a
certa II doubt as TO whether it could obtain
the patronage Of the Washington people
has heretofore discouraged the memners
from taking active steps towa-l giving a
fair, out at last through the efforts of a
few enthusiastic canvasse-s a vote was
cast In favor of such step. A committee,
consisting of Messrs. Robinson, Ciaxton,
Sisson, GraySon and Steward, was ap-
pointed to take charge and make prerara-
tions for the fair, the assistance of the lady
friends of the company was asked and
secured,and all hands set to work to make

CLEVELAND ON PARTYFEALTY

for the Presidency. But Cleveland was nominated and thereupon Clark How

Democratic National Committee from Georgia, and also acting for the Con-
sttuuon, wrote Mr. Cleveland, giving the assuranc that, yielding to the x
pressed will oft majority of the party, the Constitution would support him
for election as loyalty and zealously as it had heretofore opposed his nominal

Teller as a Bolter.

Henry M. Teller, in coming out solid
ly for Bryan and Sewall, has proved
himself the ideal bolter of this era of
bolts. Mr.. Teller takes with him a
choice bunch of mavericks ready to
offer their senatorial and congressional
TANKS to the branding irons Of democ-
racy.
Senator Teller and his confreres are
the only men SO far developed in either
of the three parties or innumerable
sub-parties who have demonstrated
that they possess courage as well as
conviction. So far as can be observed
the other boilers have talked, threaten
ed, cajoled, implored, demanded and de-
fed, and then have calmly submitted
to their party collar with occasional
weak splutterings of disgust. Not so
with Senator Teller. He neither
threatened nor expostulated, after he
found the sentiment of the St. Louis
convention against him. He shook
hands with the chairman, told the dele
gates he had been republican for
thirty-fve years, but could not swallow
gold," and then left the platform and
the hall.
Once outside of his party he has not
sought to gain control of it by forming

Insurance Co., is against free coinage,
because it would compel him to pay
his policies in fifty cent dollars. This
is a daisy. Does any one suppose that
President Greene would be for a gold
standard if he thought that free silver
would reduce his debts by one-half?
REMARK-The wage-earners and
producers can see for themselves.
Papers like the Times-Herald are doing
great service for free silver. Not hav-
ing truth on its side it garbles matters
in such a way that it makes the decep-
ton plain to the average reader. The
~wage-earner knows full we'll that or
ganized money capitalists are not on
his side in this struggle. Their inter
ests are opposed now as they ever have
been and perhaps will be for centuries
to come. Capital wants labor to pro-
duce as cheaply as possible. This labor
knows. AS one republican paper puts
It, IF we cannot quote labor as in favor
of maintaining the present gold stand
ard we ought not quote capital; it does
more harm than good" Let us get off
this financial issue INTO the tariff. Pro-
lection is the campaign cry.
But the democratic platform does not
oppose protection.

CONVICTS
Good Cam paign Story.

William J. Bryan, who was nomi-
mated by the democrats for President of
the United States. is the son of Silas
L.. Bryan, who was, for six years, cir
cult judge of the second circuit in this
state. Judge Bryan was in the habit
of opening his court with prayer. He
claimed that the Lord directed him
in making his decisions. He would,
sometimes, when in doubt in the midst
of a trial, kneel down upon the bench
and ask divine direction. A noted
Peoria lawyer, meeting the judge one
day in the street, after the supreme
court had reversed six of his cases,
said: Il see, Judge, that the supreme
court has reversed the Lord in six
cases. What have you got to say about
it? I thought you decided your cases
ur der divine direction" Whereupon
the judge replied: "The supreme court
is wrong.'-Chicago Legal News.

constantly casting discredit on his own

had given her for domestic use.

a new branch or by holding another
convention. He has simply accepted
the logic of the situation, and, being in
earnest, has adopted the surest method
of defeating that which he could not
support. Right or wrong on the in
trinsic merits Of the case. Senator
Teller has demonstrated the way in
which boilers from either side of the
question should go. He believes free
silver is right, and is doing all in his
power to defeat gold. The st. Louis
boilers are not %straddling or attempt
ing to beg the question, and their
course annot but commend itself to
fair-minded men for honesty of pur-

The populist platform does not oppose
protection.
The silver platform does not oppose
protection.
At the same time the three platforms
declare for free silver.
The republican platform declares
against free silver.
The party papers must not recede
from the issue. They must fight us
along financial lines, It's a hopeless
fight Of course and to tell the truth it
is pitiful to see the once great Republic

Tells a Joke on Himself.

A characteristic of Mr.. Bryan is his
capacity for telling a joke on himself
and enjoying it. He recounted the
other day with good humor the critical
remark of a friend at the conclusion of
one of his speeches. ooh, we'll, Bryan,
anybody could be an orator who mad

mouth is so large you can whispertin

Sees Immediate Help for Two Million:

To the Editor Of The World: The
free and unlimited coinage of silver
will help the laboring nan by giving
employment to 100000 men in the
mines. If each one has a family of
three it would thus benefit 1900, 900
persons. Also thousands of othsss
would be benefited by making clothing,
