Hon. II. l.. Brian, Natchiteches,
La.
Dear Sir and Friend-Yours of
the 3rd to hand, l was not aware
that our National Committee had
called a conference at Nashville,
July 4th. In fact, | did not know
that there had been one called by
anybody. If it is not called by
the National Committee, then it
is not necessary to call a State
Convention to send delegates, eve
ry Populist that wants to 60 should
have the right. But to hold a con-
ference at the present time without
the sanction of the National com
mitteo would be fraught with per.
| il to the cause.
The Republicans have promised
prosperity with more tariff and
the single gold basis. Let us give
them rope on the tariff. But when
they attempt to destroy the Green
back and issue more bonds, as they
are sure to do, fight them to the
death. A conference at the pres
ent time, in my judgment, is pre-
mature "a the attack on the fnan
COS has not yet been made. Whel
that time comes, I would favor
call by our National committee TO
, a conference to which delegates o
all organizations opposed to tn
Gold Basis and National Banl
, program of the Republican part.
should be invited, such q confer
ence properly managed would unit

ears, would give US victory

Convention Not Called.

Elsewhere in this issue are let
ters from prominent Popullsts and
members Of our State Central
committe opposing our proposition
of last week to informally call a
convention to select delegates to a
National Convention to be held
July 4th ut Nashville, Tennissee.
Other members of the committee
are passively in favor of it, but
think the farmers will be too busy
to attend, and that the effects Of
the drouth will prevent many
from attending any convention un-
til this crop can be realized on.
Since we made the proposition,
we learn that 10 members of our
national committee out Of 100 an
swering Chairman Butler have op-
posed the Nashville conference at
this time.
We have learned further, that
Chairman Burkitt of the n. K. T.
A. has referred his call for the
Nashville conference to the people,
as he says, to vote on directly, but
it will be voted on only by part OF
the readers Of those papers which
take it up, print ballots, etc. There
will be probably less than 1-tenth
of the Populists of the United
States vote on it.
/ Therefore the matter has become
so uncertain and so extremity ir
regular, that we do not feel war
ranted in assuming the response
bility of calling a State convention
on the move, especially as it il
opposed by Populists like thos'
whose letters we print.
There are equally as prominen
and loyal Populists who favor tn
meeting, but they must recogniz
that we are without authority t
act as State chairman, and can onl
suggest that they call u meeting Q
the reform press of this State an
all others who agree with then
and elect delegates.
We shall call the State Centr'
committee to meet with the Stat
Alliance, LIST Tuesday in Angus
if it is not urged sooner.

Gold VS.. Silver

Our friend Mr.. Tanner had oc-
casion to draw some money from
our local Bank last week, and was
tendred a 2O-dollar gold piece, reg
ular U. S. coin. He said, "yes, If
/ can pass it at its face ralue, but If
not, back she comes" He imme-
diately offered it to our post-mlS-
tress on payment for a money Or
der, but that intelligent lady re-
fused it because the coin was slight
w worn, and she said she would
lose on it. Several parties stand
ing by chimed in that it was per-
fectly good, but none OF them had
the change when it was offered to
them.
Right here it might be we'll to
say that these people who never
have the change are about the on
ly kind Of people who honestly be
lieve gold is good for money, The
banker who so timidly offers 1t to
his customers knows it is good only
for ignorant people to worship,
and for him to use in speculatine
off tho government,
Mr.. Tanner took the gold coin
back to the bank and received 2(
Of the despised, 5O-cent silver dol
lars, and passed them into the post
mistress without any trouble, al
though the eagle was worn OFT the
face of some of them.
Many people profess to think
that the country would be ever
lastingly ruined if all dollars and
property too could not be REDEEM
ED in gold.
The folks who fell down on theil
knees and worshipped Aaron
calf were much more sensible thar
these.

THE STAGE.

Cora Urquhart Potter is in Australia,
and will remain there for long time.
She has gold mine there, and thinks it
better than touring four continents.
yesta Victoria, who created Daddy
Wouldn't Buy Me a Dowwow," is now
touring the English provinces with
such success that it is not probable she
will be seen in America for some time.
It is said that Richard Harding Da-
Wis has become very persistent attend
ant at stage doors since he went to
London, and 1t is suspected he is gather
ing material for new story, or per-
haps play.
Stage folk in London are all talking
about the fact that at the last drawing
room Miss Brinsley Sheridan, a de-
scendant of the great dramatist, but
nevertheless nobody but hard-work-
ing actress, was presented to the queen.
Ella Reed is said to be one of the pref
test of American actresses. She al
ways dresses in the most costly fash
ion, and in the different parts she plays
with the company to which she belongs
she wears no less than So different
gowns. Baggage men weep when she
travels their way.
Nat Goodwin has gone to Boston to
sec his mother, whom he has not visited
for many months. He is stouter than of
yore, and says his superb health is due
to the bicycle. Next season Mr.. Good
win will present Madeline Lucette
Ryley's comedy, "An American Citi-
zen." which was well received in San
Francisco.
Cleo de Merode, the Paris ballet girl
who is one of the reigning beauties OF

Big Run ofSalmon.

An official report filed at the Port
Townsend customs house n few days
ago by Inspector Weber, whose detail
has been at Point Roberts for the past
three months, shows that the catch of
the fishing season just closed, is the
largest ever known in the northwest.
The Alaska Packing Company at Point
Roberts alone put up 95,000cases, using
$1,000 salmon. Altogether 2,5000O0 fish
of the sockeye variety were caught off
the mouth of the Frazer river during
the season, and nearly as many hump
back salmon we're taken from the traps
and left on the mud to dry. As re-
suit of the unprecedently large run
this season, fishermen predict Il light
run for the next threee years. While
prices last year ranged from 20 to %
cents, this season the fishermen were
glad to sell them at 3 cents each.

a few moments we were in tho camp OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Fancher, who were fellow
passengers on the steamer, Elder,

Would we! We would have anything

that we could get at and to have hot

rather, eliminated large number of
elements of the opposite.
Just over there about 20 yards is a
young woman, bride, who with her
husband, is going to the Klondylke.
She came up on the steamer, Elder,

alton of all in camp for her pluck in
coming this far. There are several
ladies here bound for Dawson City and
one has her little 5-year-old girl with
her.

 Plans for the National Convention of Catholic Abstinence Societies.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 19.-The Na- tional convention of Catholic Total Ab- stinence societies in Boston next Au- gust was the subject of large and en- thusiastic conference of delegates from the Boston diocese, in Father Scully's gymnasium this afternoon. Many short addresses followed the banquet, and many of them outlined the plans agreed upon in connection with the great gathering of temperance workers. Among those who spoke were Rev. John Lowry of St. Paul in behalf of Arch bishop Ireland and Rev. Patrick H. Ri ley for Archbishop Williams. The con- vention will be presided over by the Rev. Father Cleary, "The Father Mat thew of the United States" and an ad- dress will be made by Archbishop Ire land and the eloquent Father Doyle of the Paulist Fathers, who also will be here. The committee in charge intend to invite Archbishop Martinelli to be present.

Fitzsimmons was non-com- initial, refusing to confirm or deny the story and contenting himself with de- claring that he had not said he will fight COrbett again.
