THE PoPULlsT PROPOSAL.


The six populist members of the
United States senate have announced
that they will cast their votes for
what Senator Allen, their spokesman,
called the ''nauseating tariff bill, pro-
vided the republicans will agree to
incorporate with 1t and vote for free
coinage. These six men are of tried
fidelity to the people. They are at
the spot where the heartbeat of the
nation is strongest; their sources Of
information are wide and varied they
are deYoting their thoughts, their en-.
erges, all the best that is in theE
and of them, to consideration of the
problems that press for solution.
Perhaps more thoroughly than any
other six men they are acquainted
with every side of the many questions
before them, with eVerV wrong that
bears on the masses and every remedy
that is proposed, and it is more than
suggestive, it is impressive, when they
voluntarily offer to accept a "nauseat-
ing" tariff bill, one that is constructed
in the interests of a section, If they
can thereby secure free.coinage. Their
action shows their belief that the
right solution of the money question
will afford greater relief and bring
richer blessings to the people than
an, other reform which can be &C.
compushed. These man are as one
in the support of true bImetallism, in
holding that The government shall
issue all paper money and in opposl-
ton TO the issue Of bonds on any pre-

fathered by the republicans in high
places ever since 1873 that will allow
one class to use their own paper to
hord up gold and then put our con-

be redeemed with gold is the cause Of
our hard times, and distress stock

they don't ask the government to sup.

populists are asking support, we ask
no support but we would like to have
a little of our own hard earned pro-

how, and not have it take it all to pay
interest on bonds to enrich bankers

Utterancee-Ask Removal.
The Grand Lodge A. O U. w., at
it's recent session at Leavenworth,
adopted with but few dissenting votes
the following resolutions:
"WHEREAs, The Superintendent of
Insurance in his report for July, 1896,
used the following language, to wit:
This exemption (meaning certain
fraternlties Of Kansas) has been taken
advantage Of by multitude of men
who were born weary and reared in
purpose to neither toll nor spin for a
living. AS statesmen out of a job,
suddenly become oracles, imparting
wisdom to the world, these men Of
meat, blossom suddenly into titled
lords Of benevolent insurance, as Su
preme COMMANDMENT Chief, Supreme
President, Supreme High Master of
Knights of the Loyal Guard, the Su-
preme Lodge of Ben Hur, knights
and Ladies' Of the Golden Rule,
Grand Master Mogul Of the Hoo Hoo
or Great Black Calf, and so on to the
end Of ingenuity and folly. That
these organizations are without a
thread of security to their willing
dupes in the whole warp and woof OF
organization and purpose, is to patent
to admit discussion. They must
prove TO be as ephemeral in existence
as worthless in promise, and yet we
seem to be the victims of veritable
epidemic of reckless unreason, and
men and women, sensible in other
things, court the disease and waste
their means on its support; that the
exemption from regulation and con-
troll above quoted, was not intended
to cover these supreme humbugs, and
celestial frauds, is apparent; and yet
there is no visible remedy until the
evil becomes so extensive and unbear
able as TO force Legislative action; and
WHEREAS, Certain organizations
hostile TO the A. o. U. W. have at
tempsed to uss SAID report to the
damage Of our order, and
"WHEREAs, The SAID Superinten-
dent Of Insurance has never by any
official report disclaimed an intent to
include the Ancient Order Of United
Workmen in his said report, although
his attention has frequently called to
the hurtfull use that ia being and has
been made of it; therefore, be 1t
'ReSolUed, That in so far as said re-
port attempts to reflect on and dis.
credit the Ancient Order of United
Workmen of Kansas, that we, the
grand lodge Of the Ancient Order of
United WorkmeD, assembled in an.
nual session at Leavenworth, Kansas,
condemn said lnsinuatons as unwar-
ranted in precedent, untruthful in
fact and malicious in purpose, and
showing an inexcusable lack Of
knowledge concerning the principles,
purposes, and history of our noble
order"

A Small Japanese Boy Held IL and Would

"While in Japan we went to r',kyo

it was all ended, we would start all over

impressed with the necessity Of having
O moon, and that Juliet, as near an pos
sible. should always be kept In the
moonlight.
"Well. the balcony scene arrived. and
there was no moon, but in the midst OF
Romeo's most passionate wooing, which,
SO far as the light on the stage was con-
cerned, might have taken place at mid
day, the moon suddenly appeared. 1t
was in the form Of lantern fixed on a
bamboo pole and was swayed before my
face by little Jap who stood beneath
the balcony in full view Of the audience.
The audience didn't seem to mind 1t in
the least, but it made me very nervous,
and every time Romeo would pour forth
his soul would calculate. Take away
that mocn.' But the boy was mindful
of his instructions, that Juliet was al

by that awful moon. Nothing could in
duce the boy to desist, and SO the moon

There are some interesting epitaphs In
the old graveyards in Poughkespsie. but
probably none of them has been so vide
~ known and admired as that on the
stone which marks the burial place Of
John Taylor in front of Christ church.
ON Academy street. This epitaph has
been widely published on both sides OF
the ocean, it is said, and is believed to
have been written by the English post
william Roscoe and sent over for his
friend Taylor's gravestone. Yet the
stone lies neglected, and the last three
lines Of the epitaph have been broken
off, probably during the work preceding
the building of the new church. The
epitaph was published in Benson J.
Lossing's book ON "Vassar College and
Its Founder" and was greatly admired
and frequently quoted by Matthew Vas
sar, Jr., as many Of his friends remsm-
Der. The inscription and epitaph On the
stone are as follows:

And nobly scorn ~ be or hold slave.
The last line is one that has been par
ticularly admired and frequently quoted,
and it is gone from the stone, which is
broken of just after the fourth line
from the end. That this stone should
have been so mutilated seems little short
of vandalism. John Taylor is said to
have come to this country about the
same time that the Vassar family came,
shortly after the close of the American
Revolution, ard at o time when the

An Auction Erperience.

Not long ago there was "a sale in
Washington OF the effects Of the Histo-
rian Bancroft. One of the ladies in
Washington who is welded to Washing
ton ideals and associations wanted a
desk which had been the historian S for
the associations surrounding it. She is
wealthy and was determined to have
that desk If money could get it. Intrin-
sically it was worth very little, but that
was 10 reason why she would not bid
high on tho desk. The day Of the sale
she was too i'll to so, and so she sent
her daughter, with instructions to bring
homo the desk, and told her to bid as
high as 500 for it. Tho daughter went
early TO the sale, secured a seat near tie
coveted desk aud waited until it was
put up for sale. Then she began 10 bid
for it along with several others. When
the price reached about $50, everybody
dropped out except tho young lady and
some one over near tho door. Every
time ID. ady bid there was an advance
from the unknown bidder until the price
had mounted up 10 SlC0.
Knowing that her mother wanted the
desk. but fearing that some one was
bidding against her for the sake Of get
ting more money-a sort OF Straw bid
der, as it were-she advanced the bid
two or three times while she was en-
deavoring TO move around to the door
to see who her unknown competitor
was. The price had reached $115, the
last bid being made by the unknown
just as the young lady reached the spot.
Much to her surprise she found her
mother to be her rival. Tho elder lady
feared her daughter would not secure
the desk and came herself to purchase
it, and here these two had been bidding
against each other all the time. 1t is
needless to add that tho family got the
desk. Washington Star.
