two days fast cures him; if very

to restore him to health; if given

The gold crowd know how to
keep up a division of the silver
forces. They do it by bolstering
up a weak and useless party. In
Oklahoma, the other day, the DEM

walked out Of the convention. The
pops voted for the union plan 93

The Leadville Herald Democrat
says Teller has his coat off and Is
against Wolcott. If we remember
correctly, Teller took his coat off
year ago-aad put it on again.
The senior senator seems to be
getting jealous of Wolcott since
the junior senator captured the
patronage of the administration
for Colorado.

WHAT to do with the Philippine
islands is question upon which

this is not party question. Ac-

it would seem as if the inhabitants
of those islands should settle that
question. If they are opposed to
becoming annexed to the United

The editor of the New Road in

"The great fight, however, is on

of election, aud election means a
position worth at least $1,000 over

In view of the fact that the state
is about to enter upon one of the
greatest Doodle campaigns ever
known in the state it behooves the
populists to nominate candidates
for state senator's who cannot be
bought nor handled. And the
same also applies to a certain ex.
tent to candidates to the lower
house AZ most of those elected this
fall will be candidates for re-
election.

In SPEAKING of the attitude OF
Massachusetts in regard to hold
ing tho Philippine islands, Sena-
tor Hoar says:
"She will not depart from the
doctrines of liberty laid down in
her own constitution. She will
not consent to be the ruler over
vassal states or subject people.
She will enter upon no mad career
Of empire in distant seas. She
will not seek to force her trade
upon unwilling people Mt the can
mons mouth. She will not exac,
tribute or revenues from men who
have no voice in regard to them.
She will not consent to enter with
the powers of Europe into part
nership, alliance or consent for
the plunder of n China, or the di.
vision Of n France, or for the sub.
Jugation of the Eastern archipela-
goes, or for compelling unwilling
people to trnde with her.
"If the American flag appears
in the East i, will be rs the emblem
of their liberty aud not of our
dominion. She will desire to meet
the great responsibilities which
the end of this war seems likely &c
bring to the American people
solely in the interest of the prov.
inces we may deliver from Spain
and not for our own"

THE NONDESORIPT OOTERIE.
GreenvflIess Unique ~OrganfzatfOn
Gives an Enjoyable Dance.

GiebePs Hall, at No. "a Danforth ave-
nue., Greenville, was crowded with youth
and beauty last evening, when the lads
and lasses who form what is known as
the Nondescript Coterie assembled to the
number of 200 and danced until early
morning.
The coterie is bound by a solemn oath
to hold but one reception annually, and
though the members seldom meet in the
intervening time the organization has
been carried on successfully for over four
years
1t might be expected that an organiza-
ton with such an euphonious title would
at least have a few officers, but such is
not the case. Each year when the time
for holding the dance arrives a number
OF members, usually the first ones to dis
cover that the reception is about due,
assemble at a convenient place, arrange
the details and send out the invitations.
The remaining members do the rest.
The committee in charge of the event
last evening was as follows-Miss Minnie
Smith, chairman. Miss Florence King,
Miss Madeline Ring, Miss Marie Jansen,
Mr.. George Kaiser, Mr.. Robert hing, Mr..
Richard Harnett and Mr.. Frederick Nor
itz. An informal entertainment was
among the features. Miss Minnie Smith,
a talented soprano, sang ASK Not II
Still I Love-" and Mr.. John Podmore,
tenor, san Katie O~'Donoghue" and A
Old-Fashioned Mother The hall was so
crowded that dancing with any degree OF
comfort was next to an impossibility, but
his did not prevent all present from
dancing. At midnight a supper was served
by the young ladies of the party.
