PASSING OF THE FAKE AUCTION.
One Kind of Business That Is Happily and
Permanently Suspended.

permanently suspended.
Where has the jewelry auctioneer
gone? Up to three years ago there
were at least dozen places on the
South side where a gaudy display of
watches, diamonds. and revolvers in
the windows called attention to a scarce
ly less loud auctioneer within. He stood
on an elevation behind the counter; he
had "cappers" both inside and outside
the place. and his sonorous tones were
ringing all the time. He watched the
stream of passers-by on the street and
''backed the play" of the cappers. He
sold ell manner of watches. and he al
ways "got the best of it."
AS rule, says the Chicago Post, these
statesmen were excellent auctioneers
and knew all the wiles of their craft.
Up 10 two years ago some of them
were still running, but they gradually
faded out, and now there is not one,
with the trifling exception of a Sntur-
day night fling in West Madison street.
They must do good business. selling
quantities of material at an excellent
price. But there was al end of all
things in their line and the jcweiry auc-
ton has vanished.

CHICAGO HORSES AT LUNCHEON
Mans Faithful Servants Emulate Him In
Taking a Hurried Meal Downtown.

Taking a Hurried Meal Downtown.
Even the horses of this city take
luncheon downtown. Every business
man knows what this means, the hur-
ried bite taken in the short hour about
noon every day, when business is aban-
doned long enough to permit the de-
struction of a piece of pie'or sandwich.
Everybody does it, so it is as fair for
one as the other, says the Chicago
Chronicle.
This same haste applies to the nag
which pulls the cab or the heavy draft
horses used as freighters. At the noon
hour on any of the downtown streets
the obseryant person can see these
faithful beasts with nosebags depend
ing from their heads quietly MUNICH
ing their oats or corn with every evil
dence OF satisfaction.

crabs with some persons.
Another thing that should be re-
membered, and that is that a. sharp
thunderstorm will kill soft-shelleld
crabs, and even the hard-shelled crabs
at times. Unless the softcshelled crab
had been cooked before the thunder
storm, think the safer plan would be
to decline to eat it. Under all other
conditions there is no danger in partak-
ing of them, for do not think anyone
would be criminal enough to cook a
dead crab, hard or soft shell. The
proper way to kill crab is to throw
him into a kettle of boiling water. I
know that some people think this is
cruel, but it is no more cruel than to
stab them with needle or kill them
with chloroform, as have known some
extra sensitive persons to do"

TO BUY THE POPE A CITY.
Constantinople, More Than Rome, II
Likely to Be Purchased.

Likely to Be Purchased.
1t is suggested that the Roman Catho-
lies of Christendom shall subscribe ST.
O00,000,0O0 to buy Rome and nearby
seaport for the pope, says Harper's
Weekly. The belief is expressed that
the Italian government might sell the
property without serious detriment to
its political integrity and that the
money could be used to great advantage
in relieving Italy of part of the burden
of her public debt. 1t is not proposed
to turn over the principal to the vendors,
but to place it in trust and to pay its
annual proceeds into the Italian treas
ury as long as the pope remains undis-
turbed in the papal territory.
The plan is a very pretty one and
there are those who think the money
might be raised and that King Hum
bert's government would appreciate
the advantages Of. such a bargain. But
would Rome be the best purchase the
pope could make with the money i?
Chicago would take him vastly cheaper
and give him port privileges on Lake
Michigan, but she could not engage to
make him monarch of an American town
ship at any price. But there is Con-
stantinople, an excellent city, where
popes have lived before, full of ready
made churches built by Christians and
nearly ripe now for reconsecration.
Constantinople seems liable to come
into the market any day. If the pope
could buy it of the sultan that would be
q deal worth subscribing to and worth
turning a page of history to record.

friends; judgments differ, and it
is impossible for all to view, at
all times, the same subject in the
same light. Each one of us, at
different periods Of life, have
honest, different views upon the
same subject, and that, too,
without any convincing circum-
stances. 1t is patent that our
notions change, and that causes
us to see differently on both
church and state matters at diff
ferent periods of our life; there
fore and therefrom we may learn
wisdom of our own and charity
toward others opinions. And,
although we may critcise the
sayings and doings of others, it
is done in the spirit that we may
be wrong and they be right. Let
that be left to results. We say
what we believe today, and, if
tomorrow seems to bring q diff
ferent light, we shall change our
views and shall always proclaim
them as appears to us right.
There is great outcry against
the Populists by the Republican
party whenever even one with
many other partizans does any
act that may be deemed objec-
tionable; and this is peculiarly
prominent, any way in our State,
with that class who term them
selves "Silver Republicans.
This lis the most unkindest cut
of ALL" No party has SO lintir-
ingly and constantly invited the
American people to join us in
general reform; and when reform
has been beaten or errors com
mitted, if one will review care
fully, he will find other partizans
have been chief, and, in denounc-
ing the error, have been lag
CARDS. Even our friend, Thos.
j. Sutton, who is of our very
ablest class of writer's and a
mover in nearly all the reforms,
because everything cannot be
won at once, gets faint hearted
and seems to discard the acts oil
the Populists; and says they
gave away our rivers-they did
not, Thomas. He thinks they
have made a great mistake in
joining with the Democrats.
Why /? Gould we have carried
this State without it y Could we
have had good Populist in the
lower house of congress if we
had not done it !? Would we
have had firm and able Popu
list United States senator with.
out fusion ? Would our worthy
Secretary of State have been il
careful charge of the records oil
this State, If we had done other
wise ? This and much more. TIC
one who knows the standing o.
our people these questions are
self-answerable. They neet
only to be suggested. We were
weak, but with increasing
strength. We found a leader il
another party who professed al
the qualities of brain and nobility
and goodness of heart, who helt
to all the most essential princi
pies in government that we haC
any hope of carrying out at tn,
present day and we joined hin
and his party, and, together W,
came near, and perhaps di1
quite, carry this great nation
Was that a failure ? Was it
mistake to go, at one bound, iron
a small band of true men to sucl
q formidable force that our Re
publican friends have hardly
dared to mention their victory
far less, to boast over it Ant

deep, warning reality. They
see it where did poor, trembling
Belshazzer. It is moving east
and north. OF course, we know
some personal contests made
slight exceptions-only excep-
lions to the rule. And we shall
go on with a good decree of
speed until every theory that
ever had strong hold in the
Populist party will be the rule
and law of the nation. And,
although designing men may
misrepresent and ruffians may
sneer, the proper end will be
accomplished. We are on the
road to victory; and joining with
other reformers who come with
us for reform and not for dicta-
ton and their own personal ag
grandizement will aid and not
detain its coming.
But Mr.. Sutton sees decay in
the JONES and Perkins matter.
Did you ever take thorough
view of this matter :? We have
tried to view it deliberately. 1t
true we are far from it, but as
far as we are able to reach the
facts are this Mr.. Perkins,
who stands fair before the world,
states there was nothing of the
bribery. No one saw any money
paid or other valuable thing de-
livered. Mr.. JONES, who is
certainly bride taker or a peri
ured man states that he was
bribed for the insignificant sum
of $3.50 and then, as we learn it,
for, perhaps, q larger sum made
an affidavit against his accomp-
lice in crime against his country.
Now we submit, taking charac-
ter and circumstances into con.
sideration, and under our law
there could be no. conviction of
crime. Then why did our Popu
list friends do wrong in voting
to relieve him of censure? Who
voted to censure him The
Silver Republicans. JONES was
either q perjuror to destroy one
of his own house or q bribe-ta
err. There was no mistake here
There was a vote taken. Wh(
voted to screen JONES I? The
Silver Republicans. Is it not
patent that he was sustained
simply because he had done theil
bidding !? There was no doub
of his crime. We have heard o.
this accusation of bribery bust
ness before. 1t seems to origin
ate from the same quarter. /
may be, becoming a convenient
way to kill off an able enemy
But we submit it is not justifiabl'
either in morals or according tx
the rules of law-nor will it de
stroy the success of the Peoples
Democrat party. They will joir
together, as in this State, al
over the nation, and such of the
lesser wing of the Republican
: party as come to us, in fellow
ship instead of as dictators, vii
, join our hosts, and the result viii
be no uncertain victory. Coun
ter out as has been always thu
rule of the Republican party will
be too far behind to have it worl
its crimes against our people
again.
Fear not, Thomas. Keep OF
in your work of reform. w

AS bold a reformer as you arr
