prise.

Today the subscriptions for tickets
for the first performance in Rock ISL
and's new theatre reached -, 500. All
things considered. this is a gratifying
showing, for the canvass has not been
prosecuted as systematically as
planned, owing to the fact that the
com mitteemen delegated to assist the
canvasser were appointed months
ago, and have either forgotten the dut y
imposed upon them, or have other
business matters that are occupying
them for the present, so that the
work thus far has devolved upon the
shoulders of few. Hence the neces-
sity of reorganization. At meeting
of the Rock Island Club last night the
theatre committee submitted the fol
lowing report, which was unanimous
ly adopted:
The theatre committee of the Rock
leland Club has, after six months la
Dor, interested George II. Johnston to
the extent that Mr.. Johnston has
agreed to erect a modern ground floor
opera house in this city, costing not
less than $4,000, with seating ca
pacity of l 300, providing the capaci-
ty of the house is sold for the opening
nights performance at $40 per seat
and 800 for boxes.
while the committee has met with
very flattering success, it has been
found the present method of soliciting
is not expedient and it has been sug-
gested that meeting of all citizens be
held in the club house Monday eve
ming. June IS. at O'Clock.
Every public spirited citizen,
whether a member of the club or not.
is cordially invited to attend this
meeting.
I'VE desire every one to make this
an individual matter and to do his ut
N ost to make this a rOusing meeting.
do not think the fact that you are
only able to put your name down for
a few tickets will make you undesir-
able on the list. Remember the old
saying: Little drops of water, little
grains of sand"
All Welcome.
All citizens, whether members of
the club or not, are urged to be pres
ent at the meeting, not necessarily to
subscribe for tickets, but to fully ac-
quaint themselves with the project,
and lift their voices in its behalf if
they consider it meritorious, which
they undou btedly will after they ex-
anime the plans, which will be on
hand, and see with their own eyes the
character of the play house that is
proposed for Rock Island, one that
will be credit to the city. The thea

thereby securing the only possible means
of eradicating the aforesaid abuses of
nj civil government.
RESOLVED, That in order to do this
we must unite and concentrate all the
forces of the wage.e arners and pro-
ducers against the t%ax-eaters and non.
producers, and in order to more
effectually accomplish this purpose, we
recommend that the national party,
instead of setting up candidates, shall
unite, when it is possible, upon a candi-
date or candidates, of any party who
will pledge themselves to vote for the
reduction of exorbitant salaries and the
reduction of the number of public
officials to abolish all sinecures and
officials known as political reward offices
to reduce the number of representatives
in congress and state legislatures; to
amend the constitution so as to limit the
presidency to one term provide for the
election of United States senators by the
people to adopt the gold standard a
the money of the United States and
such other amendments to our state and
national constitutions and laws as will
eradicate all these abuses and protect
the civil government of the American
people and to the benedictions of him,
whose grace the Father of our country
invoked upon his children.

certainty of making a good sale, and
consequently are not likely to fail in
raising the money. If the matter had
gone along quietly the sale to the eastern
syndicate might have fallen through.
But perhaps it is better that the agita.
ton has commenced, because an awaken
ing on the subject would have been
necessary sooner or later. Had the
present negotiations for the sale of the
grove fallen through, others would have
been begun some time, for such timber
as that in the Calaveras forest was
bound to be in request by lumber men
before very long.

THE NATIONAL PARTY.

THE NATIONAL PARTY.
The national party, to which reference
was made in a letter from J.. B. Corey,
formerly democratic candidate for
governor of Pennsylvania, published in
The CONSERVATIVE March 20, has incor-
porated some commendable ideas in it's
platform. The declaration of principles,
adopted at the mass convention Sept. 1,
1894, is substantially as follows:
WHEREAS, 1t is clearly evident that
our people are solely dependent upon
the products of our soil, mines and
factories to avoid death, and that those
only available wealth,
RESOLVED, That we look with great
apprehension upon the strides which an
official aristocracy has made upon our
republican system of government of late
years, by which our millionaire congress-
men, United States senators and repre-.
s%entatives of powerful corporations and
trusts are colonizing at the capital of the
nation, building costly residences and

ing, contrary to the principles Of our
democratic institutions and exceeding in
cost the salaries of our representatives
and public officials, and which can only
be maintained by accepting brides,
voting themselves perquisites, as is done,
or by increasing their salaries far in
excess of what same service will COM
mand Outsido Of Dnhlic office
RESOLVED, That as the best means of
abolishing these evils, we would recon-
mend the amendment of our state and
national constitutions, so as to render
our legislative bodies more practical for
business purposes by reducing our
representatives to one.fourth the present
number, by providing for the election of
United States senators by the people
direct, and making candidates for the
presidency of the United States eligible
for only one term also by reducing the
salaries of public officers to what the
same service will command outside of
public office.
RESOLVED, That the independence of
the American people, which is essential
to good government, shall not be
abridged; and in order that we may
avoid the rock upon which all previous
independent movements have stranded
and failed of their purpose, and that we
may more speedily and effectively uproot
and eradicate the present abuse of our
civil government we recommend that
the motto of the national party be
anti partisan, anti.spoils and anti
monopoly, and that it be based upon the
principle of securing control Of the
municipal, state and national legislation,
