WHAT MIR. DEpEw WANTS.
After Mr.. Bayard's Berth in London
Col. John Hay His Rival.
Special to the Post.

Special to the Post.
New York, Nov. 17-Dr. Chauncey NJ.
Depew made the remark to a friend in
New York that there was only one man
whose rival claims to be appointed Am.
bassador to the Court of St James hc
feared. and that was Col. John Hay.
Col Hay is enjoying quite a boom for
the post among the prophets. 1t is re-
called that he was in London Mt the time
Mckinley was nominated and wrote a
piece to the Times defending the Major
from some of the uncomplimeRtary things
that were said about him in England.
Later he was among those who called at
Canton.
incidentally it is asked whether VIII
liam X. Vanderbilts campaign contribu-
ton Of $150,000 to the Republican cam
paign fund, supplemented by $4,000
from his brother, Cornelius, is TO go to
Depew's credit with the administration.
There seems no doubt that the doctor is
out for the place, and there is as little
doubt that the Vanderbilts would be very
willing to see him hold a position OF dis
tinction in the government 1t is quite
well understood that Chauncey is earn
ing his salary when he gains distinction
aud gets interviewed and sheds the luster
of his name on the Central. There is n
weird tale to the effect that Willie X.
Vanderbilt himself desires to he Ambas-
sador to Great Britain and so aid the
Vanderbilt social feud against his late
wife, now Mrs. O, TT. p Belmont.
Another question asked uptown to-day
is what position in the new admisistra-
ton is TO be accorded to John Russell
Young, formerly Minister to China. 1t is
pointed out that he probably did not
come out OF his retirement and re-enter
journalism to whoop it up for Mckinley
without forming foundation for hopes.
Mr.. Young is regarded as a likely candi.
date for one Of the embassies in Europe.

is being talked by the Republican and
Populist residents of Wilson that the ftl-

A bride is always interesting. When
woman becomes bride she is making one
of the great changes in life. She is enter
ing on duties entirely new to her-dutles,
which she is all too often wholly unified and
nnprepared for. 1t is a woman's duty, as
we'll to herself as to her husband, that she
shall be strongly healthy in every way-par-
iicularly in those organs which are to be
called into play in bringing children into
the world Weakness and disease of the
organs distinctively feminine undoubtedly
cause much Of the misery, unhappiness and
incompatibility of married life A woman
whose nerves are continually nagged with
torturing pains whose vitality is low, and
whose strength is unequal to her daily tasks

able and cheerful. And yet, amiability,
cheerfulness, good looks and v1vacity are
the things most expected by husband.
Every woman may have these things II she
will make and keep herself strong and

The Omaha Platform.

The Omaha platform embodies not only
the principles of the Peoples party but
the essence of the entire reform move
ment. 1t covers the ground over which
all must pass to reach any political or
economic reform. There is no other road
to success. The phraseology must be
changed and of course will be, but the
spirit must remain. The political atmos,
phere is clearer than four years ago. The
pioneers groped to some extent then, in
the dark. Four years of agitation and
education have made much progress in
lighting up the horizon. Those who have
caviled and objected to the first platform
of the Peoples party, charging that it
contained "isms," have made their
charges in general way and have failed
to name and specify single ism. The
platform needs rewriting. The money
plank must be made crisp and clear. 1t
is crude in the old draft, but sound at the
core. That platform embodies the hopes,
the dream, of the people as wholly as the
Declaration of Independence which saw
the light on the fourth of July, 1916, but
needs the hand of Jefferson to give it
the polished finish of the latter which has
never been and never can be improved
upon. The Omaha platform will be re-
written on the 22d of next July, but its
spirit and far-reaching principles will be
retained, every one of them. They are the
pulsations of the public heart.
Money, Land and transportation, FREE
and untrammeled for the benefit of the
people, and not taken from the public
and appropriated for the benefit of a
select class This is the essence of the
Omaha platform, and the living spirit of
the great reform movement pulsating
though the nation

The rights of man all over the civilized
world are being attacked by the power of
money. The race has become too strong
and too intelligent as whole to be kept
down by the sword. That arm of despotic
power is steadily growing weaker, and
the silent, invisible power of money, led
on by the pawn broker Jew is now wag-
ing the last battle against liberty, and we
trust it is the battle of Armageddon,
where this beast of many horns will be
placed under the heel of the people life
less deamon which has sought to enslave
the human race ever since the dawn of
history.

Would Tax the Peoples Shirt Off.

Senator John Sherman, in the Senate
OIL May goth, 1896, said
81 am willing to take that bill as it
comes to us from the House and if it is
not sufficient to supply the necessary rev.
enues, let us add a tax on tea, tax on
coffee, or tax on anything; for as l said
on former occasion, would vote for a
tax on anything: 1 would take the last
shirt off the backs of the people of the
United States rather than to violate the
public faith"
These are the cold blooded words of
John Sherman, the author of the present
hard times, which are actually taking the
shirts off the peoples backs. Sherman
is the head of the republican party, its
high priest, the shaper and dictator of its
policy. The Income tax, which would
have taken few dollars out of the rich
mems pockets, which they would not have
missed, was opposed by Sherman and all
the goldbug crowd, who are ready to take
the last shirt off of the poor mans back
TO swell the revenue to pay interest on the
bonds Cleveland & Co. have sold at a
discount of twelve or fifteen millions
They, with all their helot newspapers,
bulldozed the Supreme Court for months
to decide the Income tax unconstitutional,
That tax would have more than supplied
the requisite revenue which Sherman is
willing to sell the peoples last shirt, to
throw away on monster battle ships, and
dredging out creeks and any wasteful
project to pile taxes on the people, while
they contract the currency and lower the
price of everything the producing class
has to sell. We hope the people will
pause to consider these facts while they
have shirt; for if they do not and keep
on voting blindly as they have been doing,
the great mass of them will have nothing
to buy shirt with when their present
one is worn out.

democrat paper, commenting on the

Carlisle, Lindsay and an honest
financial system, and public proc
lamatiOn that Kentucky will surely
vote for the Republican candidate
for President in November next by
a majority equal to that of Ohio"

What Populists Want.

Twenty years ago Secretary Nc
Cullock said in his report December
4th 1865, the people were COM

was done for cash, there was "a less
per cent of credit business than
was ever before known, and the
prosperity of the country was with
out a parallel in its history. These
are the conditions the Peoples party
propose to restore by establishing

but when bill was offered to tax

against it. The beer men combine
