gold are united about in the ratio of
16 to 1, without the consent of any re-
form party on earth, and the gradual
drift of the ship back to it's old Cleve-
land imperialistic moorings can no
longer be stayed by a pretense of flu
sion in four or five Western, silver min
ing states
All along the line, from Maine to Cali
fornia, and from the lakes to the gulf,
POpulists are organizing on the Cincin-
rationale platform, under the Barker
and Donnely banner, and If Populists Of
Michigan hold successful state conven-
ton this month, and nominate an excel
lent ticket with a candidate for COVER
nor in whom the people Of all parties
have unbOunded confidence and plat
form on state issues such as Gov. Pin
gree would favor, peoples victory will
be assured in Michigan this fall, and re-
formers in all other states will be en-
couraged to concentrate their forces on
Barker and Donnelly, and insure their
election.
Do not despair of such successes be-
cause the odds against us now seem
large. Remember that the Republican
party was organized by divers reform
elements in 1854, on Michigan soil, held
its first state convention Under the
Oaks at Jackson" on July of that year,
and then nominated it's first state ticket,
and that that ticket was elected in No.
vember by majority of 4,977. Condi-
lions were no better then than now.
Today the disgust felt by the Repubil-
can rank and file over openly corrupt
methods of self-appointed party leaders
and their recent effort to aid the Dem
ocratic politicians to destroy the repu-
tatiOn of governor they could not cor
rupt, is scarcely equaled by the disgust
of the Democratic rank and file over
that anti-Pingree conspiracy, and the
positive dishonesty of their leaders in
drifting the party back to Clevelandism
and the gold standard.
Surely the time for the reformers of

leaders and practices of both old par
ties has arrived, when certain victory
for the masses over the arrogant spoils-
men is assured in November If the

of the plain people who love justice for
Justices sake, and stand ready to prove
their zeal for truth and honesty by SUBJ

flee to attend that convention and insure

He was little stranger child
Who lived across the way;
He came and looked in through the gate
Without word to say.

If had only dared.
At last he picked q little flower,
And held it out to me;

: made separate in front, where It is
scanned to the right shoulder and neck
and hooked over into place. The waist
proper is gathered at the front, beneath
the collar and again at the waist, but is
plain across the shoulders at the back
and drawn down at the waist. The
shaped collar is laid over the seam and
closes invisibly at the left side; the
full waist closes at the center front, as
does the lining, but the edges are con-
cealed by the folds. The high stock is
fitted with dart and curves into the
throat. The sleeves are in one piece,
the outer seam reaching only to the ell
bow, and the lace is faced on to elbow
depth.
To cut this waist for lady Of medium

Child's Wrapper or Night Gown, No.
1905.
The comfortable loose wrapper that
can be slipped on without delay is an es-
sential for the child as well as for its
elders. The charming little model
shown has the merit of serving equally
well for that purpose and for the sleep
ing gown. For the former service it is
admirable made Of French flannel or the
less costly fannelette; for the latter it
can be made Of cambria, long cloth.

DON'TS FOR THE JOURNEY,

the little things that mean SO much
when avoiding annoyances and discom-
forts of travelling.
Don't wear your best clothes for
travelling, they will not only become
mussed and soiled, but will look alto

Don't keep all your money in one
place, particularly in the grip you car
ry in your hand.
Don't, as too many women do, make
acquaintance on the cars. This doesn't
be on your guard.
Don't fail to take q sleeper II travel
ing at night. Many women, for econ
omy's sake, sit up all night, thereby
missing the convenience of the dressing
room to refresh themselves in the morn
ing. besides firing themselves all out.
Really, this is false economy. Travelling
is a strain, anyhow, so take all the COM
fort you can.
Don't burden yourself with packages
so that it is misery to collect them; a
grip and an umbrella, in case of rain,
are sufficient for these modern days.
Don't fail to have all your toilet
necessities in your grip, In case you are
caught overnight without your trunk.
Don't neglect to have your full name

A woman's College in the Bib

A WOmnn's College in the Bible.
There ought to be about SO women
police on the New York city FORCE" said
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in CONVEX
sation the other day. They ought to
be of discreet age, and principal part
of their duties should be the looking
out for young girls coming to the city as
strangers. And some of them ought to
patrol the streets at night, to look after
women going home from work or he
theaters."
Mrs. Stanton, now rounding out long
life of leadership, is one of the most
picturesQues figures in America Her
ideas are incisive and clear-cut.
Besides women police there ought
to be women street cleaners, too. See
what an army of white uniformed men
we have in this city! And how pictur-
esdue 1t would be to have some of the
force women"
Then came an addition that showed
that Mrs. Stanton, though we'll past the
SO-year mark, and a radical leader for
womens reforms, is as delightfully."-
feminine as ever.
They could dress in boomers, and
they could wear red feathers in their
caps, and they could have red handles
on their brooms.' she cried.
Mrs. Stanton does not like the idea
that women brought sin into the world
"Why. the Bible itself says that the
serpent was always there" she exclaim-
ed
But did you notice what a high idea
the serpent had of woman's intellect"
she added, with a twinkle in her eyes.
He did not try to tempt her with jew
els or dresses or pleasures, but by arous-
ing in her mind a strong thirst for
knowledge. After that, the simple pleas
ure of talking with Adam was not
enough"
Mrs. Stanton tells of asking a wealthy
woman to give part Of her wealth
to endOw woman's college. and of the
wOman's prim refusal on the ground
that nowhere does the Bible recognize
wOman's college.
And so l reminded her,. says Mrs.
Stanton, "of the Prophecies Hulda, who,
when the king wanted her, was found in
the college,"
Then in reply to further question:
"No"-with a regretful ghost of a
smile-"she gave $4,000 to mans col
lege instead, after ALL"
Mrs Stanton says that when she was
girl her father told her and her sis
tiers that whenever they went anywhere,
under the escort of young men, they
must pay their own share of whatever
expense was incurred This, he told
them, was for two reasons. One was
that the most desirable young men were
sometimes deferred from offering their
escort because they felt they could not
afford double expense. The other was
that young women would be in far
more Independent position if they did
not feel that their escorts had just been
allowed to spend money upon them.
Mrs Stanton lives in a pleasant home
surrounded by pictures and books, and
loves to sit silent, thinking of the past,
through the long twilight of the sum-
mer evenings.

All true Populists of Michigan and

Of an intelligent and sincere reformer

lions on practical agreement to ignore
reform, in sham battle over "imperi-
alism," and the unanimous nomination
by the Michigan Democracy as their
candidate for governor. of a most pro-
nounced gold Democrat, leaves little, if
any, hope among those reformers who
have loved Bryan for his Populism,
that success of the Democratic party at
the polls will be of any avail in secur-
ing reformatory legislation.

We Should Stick to Simple Food.
There was in the old days far less
wear and tear upon the nerves; and,
under such conditions, digestion was
more completely performed" writes
Mrs. s. T. Rorer in why Am Opposed
to Pies" in the August Ladies' Home
Journal. "The mothers of today must
look more carefully to the building of
their bodies and brains than their moth
ers and grandmothers did. Indeed, at
the pace at which we Americans are 60
ing we use our brains at full speed near
ly all the time. What man can build
preserves, or any other mass of ma
terial which from it's very completely
requires labor and time for digestion,
drawing the blood from the brain to the
stomach during his working hours? OBJ
serve those who eat their complex foods
carelessly and hastily, and you will see
at a glance the conditions that necessi-
tate complete rest every now and then,
or an early nervous breakdown.
I'm my close observation in the last
20 years find very few people in our
common struggle for existence who can
for any length of time eat carelessly of
complex foods. At 40 or so a man may
perhaps have accumulated wealth but
not health; and Of what earthly use is
the first without the second? Many
persons in the generation gone before
have eaten pies at least once day, but
they have not eaten meat three times a
day, nor have they rushed at our pace.
They gave more time to the digestion of
the pie. People who recommend these
rich foods rarely know anything of their
complex conditions, and still less of the
complexity of digestion"

FIFTY MILES AN HOUR.
Possibilities of High Rate of Speed on
the Sea.

A writer in Appleton's Popular Sci
ence Monthly observes, appropos of the
suggestion of a boat to run fifty miles
an hour that it is, perhaps, interesting
to examine the possibilities of speed
that might be attained in a special un-
armored cruiser, a magnified torpedo
boat destroyer of light build with
scanty accommodations for her large
crew, but equipped with an armament
of light guns and torpedoes.
Let us assume that her dimensions
are about double those of the 30-knot
destroyers with plates of double thick
ness and specially strengthened to cor
respond with the increased size-length,
draught, IA feet; displacement, $500
tons; indicated horse power, $4,000;
there would be two tiers of water-tube
boilers; these, with the engine space,
coal bunkers, etc, would occupy the
whole of the lower portion of the vessel;
the crews quarters and guns would be
on the upper decks.
There would be eight propellers of 8
feet in diameter revolving at about 400
revolutions per minute, and her speed
would be about A knots. She could
carry coal at this speed for about s
hours but she would be able to steam
at from 10 to IA knots with a small
section of the boilers, more economic
ally than other vessels of ordinary type
and power, and when required, all the
boilers could be used and full power

THE NICARAGUA CANAL
HOUSE PASSES THE BILL FOR ITS
CONSTRUCTION.
President Authorized to Secure Control
of the Necessary Territory-Contracts
Authorized Not to Exceed $14O 600, OOO

WASHINGTON May 2.-The House
today at the conclusion of the most
stormy debate of the present session of
Congress, passed the Nicaragua bill by
the overwhelming vote of 225 to 35. At
tempts to retain the bill in the language
of the original bill for the fertilization
of the canal and to still further
strengthen the language on that line
were baked, and the victory of Hep
burn and the committee was complete.
A motion to recommit the bill, with
instructions to report back another bill
leaving the selection of the route to
the President was buried under an ad-
verse majority of 81 to III.
The bill authorizes the President to
secure from the states of Costa Rica
and Nicaragua the control of such ter
ritory as may be necessary for a canal
of sufficient depth for the largest ves-
sells now in use from Greytown via
Lake Nicaragua to a point near Beto
on the Pacific. The President is au-
thorized to eXpend the necessary money
to secure such control and make sur
veys. When the control is secured the
Secretary of War is authorized to go
on with the construction of the canal
and 100000 600 is appropriated for the
purpose. He is authorized to make con-
struction contracts not exceeding $780,
100000 in the aggregate.
