"RUGGED SENSE
Of Old Line Populists Will Prevent
Them From Being Socialists,
Saws Daniels,

Ex-Lieutenant Governor Percy Dan
iels approves the action of the Populist
state central committee in declining to
depart from the principles of fusion,
Populism and free silver.
In letter to Associate Justice Allen
of the supreme court Mr. Daniels says:
Too many of us are inOculated with
the socialism of Jefferson to look with
complacency on an effort to substitute
that of Marx for our early faith. If
POpuliSt leaders encourage the theory
now much in evidence that the latter is
a reform, it is done for the purpose Of
getting votes, but in that it will fail
The conservative element of the party
cannot be held to support any such fall
lacy. I acknowledge 1 am ready to ia
vor an equal distribution of the pro-
ducts of our industry, of the fruits of
our genius and toll, and of the treasure
in the unearned increment of the ma
TONS wealth. whenever our historic and
inherent traits are transformed so we
may have an equality of energy, muscle
and intellect, but knowing until that
change takes place that the collective
ownership of the means and appliances
of production, and the facilities and
impossibility, 1 shall have to confine
my support of socialiStic theories some
where near the limits defined and de-
Tended by Jefferson, which includes
home for every tOiIer, and 1 should ex-
tend them to cover state ownership of
important public utilities"
He adds: ''As a whole we still retain
enough of the active sense of our fore
fathers to know that socialism as COM
monty understood is a practical impos-
sibility on any extensive scale, in the
present development of human impul-
ses. Our people are too practical They
have in their makeup too much rugged
sense and too little chimerical to at
tempt to raise Atlantis or to found
Utopia. They are too vigorous in their
characteristics and personality to be
dazed by the illusions of an enchanting
ethical mirage. But one fact our states
men had better recognize. That is, that
the number of those determined that
the American people shall go out of the
bondage of capital is rapidly increas-
ing
Concluding Mr.. Daniels says: 1.-The
longer the delay in offering them a
practical way out, the greater the DAN
ger of a trial of the impractical. The
longer the Inauguration of a peaceabIe
and orderly method. the greater the
probability of a resort to the disorderly.
Because of a growing determination to
rend the shackles of capital and escape
from its onerouS bondage, they are be-
coming more and more inclined to en-
courage the dfSorderly and listen to the
impractical

He Writes a Letter to the DEM
Ocrats of New York City.
Urges Them to Stand by the
Chicago Platform.
WARNS THE DISLOYAL.
Believes That Adherence to the
Party Principles
Will Make Surer the Democrat
ic Victory in the Greater City.

New York Sept. 1S.-The World prints
the following:
VIM Jennings Bryan, in a recent
letter to a well known Tammany man.
deplores the disposition of the local
Democratic machines to thrust into the
background the principles which guided
the national Democracy in 1896.
He recommends that the flag under
which the Democra is fought a year ago
and which attracted the support of
more than 5000, 900 voters, be set at the
masthead and kept there throughout
the battle for control of the greater
city of New York.
He calls attention to the fact that an
other fight for the control of the feder-
al government will soon be here and
wonders what the position of those
Democrats will be. who, through a mis-
taken idea, deserted those principles for
which they loudly clamored a few
months ago.
He wants all the Democrats who were
loyal last year to be loyal this year.
He says that loyalty cannot be shown
by deserting the platform adopted at
Chicago or by Indicating that it is un-
clean by persistent and public refusals
to recognize it.
1t is Mr.. Bryan's opinion that an open
Endorsement of this platform would
streng then the Democratic cause in this
city and make much Surer a Demo-
cratic victory.
He applauds these Democrats who are
openly protesting against the determin-
alton of the state machine and of the
machinery in this borough and in the
borough of Brooklyn to crush out of the
local fight the doctrine that, born under
the Democratic banner in a national
convention, swept recently through the
whole United States.
He frankly admits he has no right to
interfere in any local fight and he says
that he will not do so.
He does not believe that letters to per-
sonal friends can be properly construed
as an interference.

THE HERRMANNS.
Leon and Adelaide Will Open the
Season at the Grand.

Probably few as interesting entertain
ments have been secured in past as open
ing attractions as the entertainment
which will begin the season of 1878 at
the Grand Opera House next Tuesday
night. 1t is the entertainment provided
by Leon Hermann, a nephew of Herr
mann the Great" and Adelaide Herr
mann. the widow of the famous magician,
and if the criticisms of the eastern press
are to be taken a criterion, is of
the most successful exhibitions of leger-
demain and terpsichorean art ever wit
messed the American stage.
Leon Hermann is said to be in every
way the equal of his famous uncle, and
Adelaide Hermann, besides assisting the
younger magician she for years as
sisted her late husband. introduces sew
eral entirely new and beautiful spectac-
ular dances. OF the Hermann enter
tainment a recent issue of the Chicago
Inter Ocean had the following to say:
The entertainment mystifyins
and interesting as ever. The usual first
part of small tricks brought out num-
Der of novelties, one of which, the intel
Iigent clock. was very pretty. The hyp-
motto mystery, 'Trilby," the Asiatic
Trunk Mystery and the Artists Dream
were beautifully and artisticalIy present.
ed The great hit of the evening
was the wonderful exhibition of
palming given by Herman III 1t
was at palming that the late presti-
digitator succeeded beyond all his
imitators, but even his memory must yield
to the present Hermann. Such eXhibi-
tions were never seen before, and at the
conclusion of the act the audience gave
the performer it's most enthusiastic ap-
proval.
Adelaide Hermann received the warm
welcome that was due to the brave and
energetic widow of the lamented con-
juror, who has managed so adroitly and
labored so diligently that she saved for
the public the famous secrets of stage
magic and presented them in all their
mystery and beauty. Her costumes were
rich and beautiful and in her dances re-
veaIed such delightful novelties that the
audience could but take them in
dications of a continued public career,
which will be marked by artistic endeav-
ors There were four dances-"L Ttoille
de Mutt La Danse du Vesuvius," lie
Rayon de Soleil' and The Lily of the
Orient''-and the color arrangements were
the most beautiful ever seen here.

WILL WAIT TILL SPRING.
Thirty Prospectors Return From Ska
quay and Dyea.

cattle, Wash, Sept. 1.-THE steam
er FarraIlon has arrived from Skaguay
and Dyea with thirty passengers who
have given up the attempt to reach the
Yukon gold fields this winter. c. r.
Shaw, representing an English syndi-
cate, accompanied by a party of seven
took passage on the FarrelIon from FIT.
WrangeT and are in Seattle.
Mr.. Shaw has been prospecting the
divide between Cassair and the head
waters of the Yukon emptying into Tes-
lin lake. He reports the existence of
large quartz lodges of the Same grade
as the TreadweH, but they cannot be
worked with profit on account OF not
being able to get machinery.
Mr.. Shaw says that the difficulties
will be overcome by the construction of
the Cassair Central & Teslin Lake road
which is now being surveyed by the Ca
madam government on the Stickeen riv-
Sr.
Mr.. Shaw believes that Fit. Wrangel
will be the point of departure for all
the goods and machinery that will be
sent into that part of the country. He
intends sending in outfit of 20 men
via Wrangel, the Stickeen river and
TeSlin lake next spring with instru--
tons to prospect the more remote dis
tricts of the head waters of the Yukon
Immediately adjacent to the old Cas-
Sair gold diggingS. The placerS on this
divide have undoubtedly derived their
gold from quartz reefs in the immedi-
ate vicinity as Shaw has in his possess
sion a quantity of placer gold, which is
quite worn and full of quartz.
The purser of the Farrallon says there
is a scarcity of boats at Lake Bennett
and that they are bringing upwards of
$500 each.
None of the returning miners had
heard anything of the reported lynch
ing of alleged thieves on Skaguay trail
by VigilantsS.

with the "Elks' Far Famed Minstrels." p"
VIII Haskell officiated as interlocutor,

Iy recited and sang, responding to his
encores until he was out of breath and
repertoire.
John McManus, better known as ''The
Count of Paris" was called on for
speech. He requested chills and fever
music by the orchestra and commenced
by saying kansas honorS woman and
honest toil;'' the music by this time was
too strong for the count to be heard,
but Just as he was finishing the music
ceased and the audience heard the clos
ing remark. 1t was: kansas honors
woman and honest toll"

GRAY'S NOVEL SUIT.
The Central Figure in the "Hypnotic
Murder Case" Wants Mortgage
Sale Set Aside.

Wichita, Sept. Henderson Gray,
the central figure in the so-called hyp-
motto murder case in Sumner county,
who was pardoned by Governor Nor
rill, has begun suit in the circuit court
against the Equitable Mortgage com
pany and others to recover 800 acres OF
land and rents and $21, 800 damages.
Amidon & Comfy, his attorneys, are
also preparing the papers in another
suit against other parties to recover
another farm of 400 acres and $4,000
damages.
Gray claims that he was not repre-
sented in the Foreclosure suits, being at
the time in prison and legally dead;
that the law provides that in such cases
an administrator shall be appointed to
represent the man in prison, and this
the owners of the mortgage neglected
to have done. Able attorneys claim
that Gray has a good case and will
win. When Gray was arrested he was
a stockman and farmer and owned l.
200 acres of land on which there were
mortgages.

REPUBLICANS ARE EASIER.
Temperance Meeting at Hamilton
Hall Shows No Inclination to
Name a Ticket

Republican politicians were thrown
into a state of CONSERVATION this fore
noon at the report that the county mass
temperance convention at Hamilton hall
this afternoon would nominate a tenn
perance county ticket.
There is no danger, however. of such
a contingency arising. The convention
was called for the purpose of interesting
the people living in the country in the
temperance work and no new ticket
will be nominated.
Speeches are being made by Frank
Stahl, Rev. J. D. Hitchcock of Meriden,
James A. Troutman and others.
The following resolutions introduced
by J. w. Gleed were adopted:
Resolved a. That it is the duty of
all citizens to obey the law regardless
of what their individual opinion may
be of the wisdom of those laws; it is the
duty of all citizens to uphold by every
means in their power the enforcement
of all laws; no citizen has the right TO
select what laws he will obey and what
he will defy, what part of the constitu-
tion he will hold sacred and what part
he will deSpiSe; every section OF the
constitution is sacred and those who
hold otherwise are enemies of good gov
ernment.
Resolved C2), That we reaffirm our
belief in and hearty loyalty to the
principal and policy of constitutional
prohibition of the liquor traffic; we
have seen its moral and economical re-
suits in Shawnee county; those results
have been good; the saloon is an un-
mitigated evil morally. socially, econ
omically and politically; its return TO
Topeka would be a calamity. Our hrst
duty to ourselves and our families and
our fellow citizens at this time is the
preservation and the enforcement OF
the prohibitory liquor law.
Resov led(3), That we condemn the
dastardly and cowardly assault made
upon officers of the law and useful, hon
orable, reputable citizens at Garfield
park on labor day; its perpetrators
We're thugs, criminals, outlaws; we trust
they may speedily be discovered and
punished to the full extent of the law.
While we condemn the perpetrators of
that outrage who were for the most
part poor, ,uneducated and degraded men
of the lowest order, we condemn still
more emphatically the few so-called re-
spectacle residents of Topeka who ex
pressed sympathy with attempted as
sassina ton; such expressions in our
judgment represent a state Of moral
degradation far below that of the act
ual perpetrators of the crime.
Resolved (4), That We endorse the
stimulate and to aid the officers of the
law and to arouse public sentiment;
we believe that committee is animated
solely a desire to keep the city of TOpe-
ka clean and decent; we pledge our
selves to its support and to
the support of every public official re-
gardless of his political affiliation, who
does his duty without fear or favor.

DEAD QUEENS GHOST.
Still Haunts the Old Tower of
London, it is Said.

London, Sept. 1S.-In spite of official
frowns and attempts to suppress the
chatter, it has leaked out that the de-
tachment of foot guards quartered at
the tower of London swear the sentries
on night duty have seen the ghost of
Anne Boleyn, the unfortunate wife of
the much married King Henry VIII,
whom he caused to be beheaded on
May 10, 1886.
The ghost of Queen Anne Boleyn is
only supposed to appear on the eve of
the death of member of the royal fam
lily and therefore the matter has been
made the occasion for considerable gos-
sip.
