THE action cf the Texas popu-
lists has opened the eyes of the
middle-of-the-roaders TO see things
in better light, and it is now
more than probable that both fac
tions of the party will accept the
compromise Effected at Omaha a
few weeks ago.
j. Ii. Terris, chairman of the
Reform Press Organization has
this TO say concerning some of the
populist statesmen who have be-
come an honor to the party and
power in congress:
Butler and Allen have done ex-
celient work in congress. For tha,
matter, so has Jerry Simpson and
the worst of them. They have
stood up MS populists, they have
attended to their country's bust.
ness, and pushed our cause on
every occasion and done it in
manner to gain the respect OF the
nation for II populist. We surely
need that kind Of men at the
front.
II they do not lead us into the
democracy, and thence into a gold
bug democracy we can at lens. get
along somewhat friendly. At
Omaha, we made great progress
and it would not be in good taste to
abandon the field when we are on
the gpin.

THE largest bank in Abilene,
Kansas, was closed by the state
bank examiner, few days since,
aud the liabilities were given at
1888, 600, Of which S22T, 600 were
local deposits, aud there WAS about
100000 of cash TO pny these de-
posits. This tells the whole story
the depositors will get about -
or 80 cents on the Gollur. OF
course these bankers were not free
silver fanatics or crazy pcpulists.
The bank had lot of farm loans,
and the good republican times
have so reduced the value of these
farms that they are not worth in
the market MS much as the mort.
cages call for. Plenty Of other
banks are in nearly the same con-
dition. They help make the con.

c. J. Rurbidge, Gertrude Gheen. Britta Grit
fin and Alice Evans.

at the Grand. Matinee today at 2:30.
The American and English papers have
printed such uniform exalted praise of Sc

his mantle as assemb.yman is to fall. Mr..
Arosin with a view to making no error in
securing the Scandinavian vote for county

a Scandinavian, he should be succeeded in
the assembly by a person OF the same race.
The politicians of the First ward. however
do not agree with Mr.. Arosin in his choice.
and in order to head off the election of Mr..
Larson, have called meeting of the pre-
cipct committeeman of the ward for this
evening. There are forty-four committeeman,
and it was stated last evening that the name
of the person recommended by the meeting
tonight would be accepted by the eight men,
bers Of the assembly as the right one, not
withstanding the recommendation of MIR. ATo-
sin Henry Neff is the choice of the politi-
clans for the place, and in al probability will
be Endorsed by the meeting tonight. A city
official stated last evening that Nef had been
identified with Republican politics in the
First ward for years had done everything
he could for the party and had never held
public office, while Larson was practically I'M
