The White Feather.

The story runs that, during war be- tween the backwoods settlers of North America and the natives, a Quaker feasted the enemy and placed a white feather over the door of his house as a sign of amity. The token was re- spected. Hence the phrase: Showing the white feather" which has come to mean cowardice.

Taken Most Abundantly in Cold Weather Because of Their One Unyarying Habit.

Because of Their One Unvarying Habit.
 No successful method of catching ter rapin in large numbers has yet been de- vised. A kind of set net is sometimes used, but with no remarkable success. The general statement holds that ter rapin are caught singly. At no season of the year do the fishermen, who make a side issue of terrapin, know ex- actly where to look for them. All their movements are aimless, and their only habit which can be depended on is that of burying themselves in the mud at the bottom of the water during the continuance of cold weather.

THE PLATFORr1,
What 1t VIII Say on the Money and
Direct Legislation Questions.

ST. LOUIS, July 23-The Committee
on Resolutions appointed by the Popu-
list convention met at 1890 o'clock
General J. r. Weaver was chosen Chair
man. A sub committee of twenty-three
was appointed to construct a platform,
and this committee was divided into
subcommittee. These committees
were in session until late tonight, and
at 9 o'clock got together for the purpose
Of putting their planks into an harmo-
nious whole.
The preamble will reaffirm the declar-
ations of the Omaha platform.
The financial plank, as reported to
the full committee, and as it will be re-
ported to the convention tomorrow, is
as follows:
'First-We demand national cur
rency, safe and sound. issued by the
General Government only, a full legal
tender for all debts. public and private,
and receivable for all debts due the
Government, and that without the use
Of banking corporations; just, equita-
BILE and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people through the lawful
disbursement of the Government
"Second-We demand the free and un-
restricted coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 16 to / by the
United States, and that without await
ing the consent of foreign nations
"Third--We demand that the volume
Of the circulating medium be speedily
increased to an amount sufficient to
meet the demands of the business and
population of this country, and to re-
store the level of prices, labor and pro-
duction, and thereby re-establish the
prosperity and happiness of the people.
"Fourth-We denounce the Demo-
cratic and Republican policies that seek
to enslave our people by the issuance of
interest-bearing United States bonds to
be sold on English and foreign markets.
and steadfastly adhere to an American
policy that will produce revenue suffi-
cient to maintain legitimate and eco
nomic expenses.
'Fifth-We demand such legislation
as will prevent the demonetization of
the lawful money of the United States
by private contract.
'Sixth-We demand that the Govern
ment in payment of its obligations shall
use its option as to the kind of lawful
money in which it shall pay them, and
we denounce the present and preceding

BUT LITTLE Done At
THE SILVER CONVENTION
Continued from First PageD

Cured in by a Republican House, of
plunging the country into debt by hum
dreds of millions, in the vain attempt
to maintain the gold standard by bor-
rowing gold, and we demand the pay
ment of all coin obligations of the
United States, as provided by the ex-
listing laws, in either gold or silver coin,
at the option of the Government and not
at the option of the creditor.
The decentralization of silver in 1873
enormously increased the demand for
gold, enhanced it's purchasing power
and lowering all prices measured by
the standard and since that unjust and
inGefensible act, the prices of American
products have fallen upon an average
nearly 80 per cent, carrying down with
them proportionately the money value
of all other forms of property. Such
fall of prices has destroyed the profits
of legitimate industry, injurinS the pro-
ducer for the benefit of the non-pro-
ducer increasing the burden of the
debtor, swelling the gains of the cred
itor, paralyzing the productive ener-
gies of the American people, relegatinG
to idleness vast numbers of willing
workers, sending the shadows of
despair into the home of the honest toll
er, filing the land with tramps and
paupers, and building up colossal for
tunes at the money centers.
I'm the effort to maintain the gold
standard the country has within the
last two years, in time of profound
peace and plenty, been loaded down
with S262, 900 900 of additional interest
bearing debt, under such circumstances

foreign bankers to realize a net profit of
millions on a single deal.
1T stands confessed that the gold
standard can only be upheld by so de-
pieting our paper currency as to force
the prices of our products below the
European, and even below the Asiatic
level, to enable us to sell in foreign mar
kets, thus aggravating the very evils of
which our people so bitterly complain.
degrading American labor and striking
at the foundations of our civilization
itself"
The question as to who should pre-
sent the paper to the convention ex-
cited quite a discussion. A. j. Warner
OF Ohio favored having some Republican
present it Representative Towne OF
Minnesota. Mr. Irwin of Minnesota and
senator JONES tl 4NCNiut WClc sSuSSSSl-
ed. and the latter was finally decided
on.
The question of naming delegate to
nominate Bryan and Sewall was then
taken up. After q brief debate it was
decided not to have the Chicago candi-
oates nominated by an individual, as
the resolutions of the committee rec
commended such a course.

administrations for surrendering this
option to the holders of Government OBJ
legations.
"Seventh-We demand a proper income
tax, to the end that aggregated wealth
shall bear it's just proportion of taxa
ton.
"Eighth-We demand that the postal
savings banks be established by the
Government for the safe deposit of the
savings of the people and to facilitate
exchange"
The direct legislation plank is as fol-
lows:
I'VE hold that all Governments re-
ceive their just powers from the consent
of the governed, and in order that the
consent of the governed may be ascer-
tanned in favor of direct legislation un-
der proper constitutional safeguards, so
that the citizens shall have the right of
initiating and proposing laws and of
compelling the submission thereof. and
of all important laws, whether proposed
by national. State or local Legislatures,
to a direct vote of the people for their
approval or rejection.
The preamble was discussed for up
wards of an hour A number of propo-
sitions were submitted, and it required
careful generalship on the part of Gen
eral Weaver to weld this mass of raw
material into a prelude that was neither
too long nor too radical.
This preamble will reaffirm the ad-
herence of the convention to the prin-
ciples of the Peoples party a. enunci-
ated at Omaha on July 4, 1892; will de-
clare that the two old parties have
brought the country to financial ruin;
calls attention to the fact that four
years ago the Populists predicted the
complete surrender of the Government
to corporate powers, a condition which
is now apparent to all.
It also declares that the European
money changers have shaped iegisla-
ton and been more potent than the
voice of the American people; that ex-
ecutive power and patronage have been
used to corrupt Legislatures and defeat
the will of the people; that plutocraey
has thereby been enthroned on the ruins
of the democracy
The preamble concludes with a recon-
mendation for the adoption of the plat
form submitted, to the end that the
Government of the fathers may be re-
stored and the welfare of the country
and of prosperity may be secured.
Mr. Coxey of Ohio will make minor
