half as many delegates as the popu-

zion the candidates for the rest of the
offices, ali delegates vote in conven-

LET every county convention OF
popuIists and democrats this fall
speak out in no uncertain tones upon
the money and trust questions. I'm
like our republican brethren we dc
not have to wait until the national
convention 1as spoken before express
ing our opinions, but on the contrary,
the national convention will shape It's
policy and platform after hearing
from the millions OF toilers who make
up the ranks of our parties. It il
thus that the people make the plat
forms for the politicians instead OF
the politicians making them for the
people.

that while close scrutiny might dis
Germ outlines Of piggishness, yet the
grand whole was thing of beauty.
Like Christ, Mr. Kizer used familiar

Of corn in hand with crsyon and board

The outlook for the success Of the
peoples party in Phillips county this
fall is bright, if all who favor the free
and unlimited coinage of gold and
silver without waiting for the consent
of Spain and other European coun-
tries will get together and name a
ticket of good men. The republicans
are in the minority, and If all who
favor good economical government
will unite, it will be an easy matter
to win. A victory this fall will place
our party IN excellent shape for the
campaign of 1900.

Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted by Pleiades Chapter o. E. S.
at their meeting of Tuesday evening
of this week. This seeming delay is
caused by the fact that the chapter
only meets once each month.
'Whereas, in His divine wisdom the
Heavenly Father has seen fit to re-
move from our midst our dear sister
Lille Mccormick, daughter of Hon.
and Mrs. N. B. Mccormick, to that
bourne from which no traveller re-
turns, Therefore be it
Resolved-that while we bow in
submission to the will of our Heavenly
Father, we mourn none the less for
our sister, and we sincerely, deeply
and most affectionately sympathize
with her father, mother, brothers and
sister IN this their hour of trial and
grief. and commend to Him who said,
'Come unto me all ye that are weary
and are heavy laden and will give
you rest" and in that trustful faith
and hope as was exemplifed in the
lives of the heroines of our order,
may they find that comfort and con-
ISOLATION that human sympathy alone
cannot give. May we each recognize
in our sisters passing to her reward
siren thening of the tie drawing US
heavenward.
Resolved-that copy Of these res
olutlons be presented to the family
and also that copy be furnished for
the local papers for publication and
also that they be spread upon the
minutes of this chapter.

IT now seems that John D. Rookie
feller's great gifts are only loans. Al
least SO 1t turned out in the case of

city to which he had at different times
given large sums of money. The
pastor, Rev. D. Q. Potter preached
vigorously sgsinst the tyranny of
wealth when its power is abused"
and a.eainst the illicit trusts" In
due time SSttr. Rockefeller sought to
have him dismissed but his eongre-
CATION stood by their psstor. AS a
last resort Rockefeller brought suit
for the recovery of the money he gave
the congregation, claiming he bad
only gwen it as loan. The case has
just been decided by the supreme
court of the state of New York, hold
ing that he can recover all that does
not come under the statute of limita-
tions.

NEARLY every republican paper
which comes to our table tells of the
twenty-five new state banks organ
lied in Kansas, and with diaboIIcal
glee hug themselves and ask in loud
voice for the pops to explain why
these banks did not organize under
the ma tionsi banking law instead of
under the state law passed by the
populist legislature. Evidently it
never occurred to single one of our
misguided friends that it takes $50,
600 to become national banker and
only $1,000 to organize under the
state banking law. A great many
lively little towns furnish business
for a 5000 bank that would not have
business to warrant establishing q
bank with $4,000 capital.
