COUNTRY CLUB FORMED.
Proposed SubstatiOn of the New
Washington Library.

A well-attended meeting was held last
evening at Takoma Hall of those interest
ed in the effort to promote a country club
in that section. Several weeks ago a
meeting was held and a temporary organi-
zation formed, with the understanding that
report Of plans would be made at the
meeting called for last evening.
Mr. Louis P. Shoemaker. as the tempo
rary chairman last night, outlined the OBJ
ject of the association to be the establish
ment of a library in connection with a
social and athletic club, primarily for the
benefit of residents of Takoma and vicin-
ity, but general enough in it's character to
allow the admission of all eligible residents
of the District. A proposed constitution
and set OF bylaws were read and accepted,
and favorable reports We're submitted from
the several committees. That upon MEM
bership, through DR.. Parsons, its chair
man, Informed the members that fifty
three gentlemen. nearly all we'll known
throughout the District, had consented to
become members, and that this number
could be easily trebled upon proper can
vass.
After some discussion, participated in by
Messrs. Long and Lewis, as to the ad-
visibility of making a permanent organi-
zation at this time, Mr.. Wilton ]. Lam
bert stated that he considered all the re-
ports most encouraging, and that the num-
ber of names submitted was not only large
for a beginning, but the personnel Of the
list was exceptionally satisfactory. He
moved that a permanent organization be
at once formed, which was agreed to by
those present.
Mr w G. Platt nominated Mr.. Louis P.
Shoemaker for permanent chairman and
first president of the club. Mr.. Shoemaker
was thereupon unanimously elected and
proceeded to make few remarks, thank
ing the gentlemen for their manifestation
of regard. He stated that one of the prin-
cipal advantages he hoped to see secured
is the establishment of a substation to the
Carnegie library, and in this way making
large numbers of books available to those
in that section. These, he said, would be
charged to the club. avoiding the necessity
of making the trip to the main library.
Messrs. c. NJ. Heaton and Homer Geary
were elected secretary and treasurer, re-
spectively.

itor Of The Evening Star

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
was somewhat surprised at the state
ment in Tuesday evenings Star from Mr..
Clayton, a delegate to the regular demo-
cratic convention recently held at the
Academy of Music. Like a good many
other old-time District democrats, wished
to see Mr., Norris go to the convention at
the head of the District delegation. 1
worked for him at the primaries and was
elected to the convention as a delegate. 1t
was unfair in those who opposed the great
body of Norris friends to say that he op-
posed Bryan. They raised this false issue
and lost on 1t. When Mr.. Norris and the
other delegates were elected the conven-
ton indorsed Mr.. Bryan. The Endorsement
was unanimous 1t is what Mr.. Norris and
his friends fully intended to do. Mr.. Clay
ton had nothing whatever to do with this
action. If he thinks that he was the cause
of this move toward Bryan he is vastly
mistaken. The convention settled the dele
gate business first, and then instructed
the delegates. From the beginning of the
convention Bryan's name was on every
tongue. No one delegate could stir up the
enthusiasm shown for Bryan. This Bryan
Endorsement was spontaneous and unani-

WHICH PARTY Can Be TRUSTED?
The Republican Party Has Been Always
the Champion of Liberty.
(BoStOn Journal.)

\bOSlOIl JUL ldl.)
Senator Hoar can find very little diff
ference between the platforms Of the
two parties in their treatment of the
Philippines. He can find very little diff
ference between the attitude of the
candidates. There are elements in both
parties, he says, which believe that we
should hang on to the Philippines for
ever, even if their people are unwilling.
There are also elements in both parties
which are willing that the Filipinos
should eventually have self-govern-
ment, and even independence, when
they are fit for it and if they desire it.
This being the situation, Senator Hoar
thus powerfully sums up the practical
question which American voters must
ask themselves:
(Which party can you trust in this
matter-the party that has done every
thing hat has been accomplished for
liberty in the past, or the party which
has resisted everything that has been
accomplished for liberty; the party that
sustained slavery, or the party that
abolished it: the party that made war
upon the Union. or the party that put
down the rebellion: the party that
adopted the three great amendments
which made every slave a freeman and
every freeman a citizen, and every cit
izen a voter, or the party that filibus-
erred for days and nights against the

The campaign tour of Mr.. o. A. Lar
razolO and Hon. H. b. FERGUSON
through southeastern New Mexico is
not proving a success. The Democrats
in that section seem apathetic, and are
not lending a ready and willing ear to
the glittering g~eneralities laid before
them by the D~emosthenes of Chihua-
hua, Mr.. Larrazolo. Mr.. Ferguson, to
be sure. has no heart in the fight, and
simply accompanies Mr.. Larrazolo pro
forma and because he is a member of
the Democratic national committee of
the territory. Mr.. Larrazolo is a gone
gosling, and the voters of New Mexico
on the 9th of November next will prove
this assertion of the New Mexican by
giving a large majority for Bernard 5.

egate to congress from this territory.

An Industrial Victory.

The anthracite coal miners of Penn
~sylvania have won a great industrial
victory that must rebound to the bene-
fit of labor in other parts of the
try. Considering that the strikers in
greater part consisted of ignorant for
eigners. the self-restraint which they
exercised is remarkable. h few
clashes tina occurred We're insignifi-
cant compared with the riots that char-
acterized other great strikes. The coal
miners have demonstrated that in or
g%anization and in union there is
strength, and that public sympathy can
generally be commanded by the labor
ing men when in opposition to organ
lied capital if they refrain from acts
of lawlessness and show a disposition to
treat fairly with their employers.

A REPUBLICAN RECRUIT.
The Gallup Cleaner Will Support the Party
Of Progress.
Gallup Gleaner.)

NIdllup bledIlel.J
After long year of independence in
matters of politics, during which the
Cleaner has assumed only a passive at
titude toward political questions, or as
paper will henceforth be issued in the
interest of Republicanism. The editor
is led to this step by two considerations.
The first of these lies in the fact that
the Cleaner has always stood for the
advancement of the interests of Gallup,
and believes that the new county is a
forward step in the interest of our little
city. The Cleaner further believes that
the only way to secure that extension
of the territory embraced within the
county, so essential to successful adj
m~inistration, is to put the county in line
with the party which is certain to con-
troll the council and house in the next
assembly at Santa Fe, the Republican
party. And the second consideration,
that which lies in the fact that the Re-
publican administration has fOstered
and developed the of America,
has given to the country in the four
years past a period of prosperity uneX-
ampled, and that the hope for a contin-
uance of that prosperity lies in the re-
election of a Republican government,
bears no less in the decision he has
reached.
Without malice or misrepresentation
this paper will press to its best ability
has ever been that it was "of, for and
by the people, and whose Americanism
and ability are the promise Of our ma
TONS life for the years to be.

This week an unusually large num-
part of the country, and even New
Mexico had a large number of fires,
three occurring in Mora county alone.
This is always the case at the beginning
of colder weather, and negligence and
carelessness are generally the cause.
Flues and chimneys should be exam
ined before fire is started in stoves that
have not been used for six or seven
months, and especial care should be
taken not to have intammable material
near burning fires. The fire losses an
nually caused by carelessness in those
respects would be sufficient to reclaim
the arid land of New Mexico.

The general attention which the ma
tional campaigners are attracting is a
sign that this is a campaign of discus
sion and education. The voters no long
er flock to one side or the other because
their fathers did so. but they want to
have the issues of the campaign dis
cussed, and the respectable citizen fol-
lows the dictates of his reason and his
conscience rather than blind party spir-
it. 1t is therein that lies the strength of
the Republican party, for it's issues are
not those of prejudice, but those of rea-
son and of patriotism, to which every
intelligent American can conscientious
" subscribe.

TRICKS AND EMISSIONS.
Colonel ", ]. Bryan Does Not Deserve the
Reputation Of Being Honest.

New York Times.)
Most of Mr.. Bryan's political oppo-
nents give him credit for honesty. They
often go out of their way to affirm their
belief that he is honest, as if they were
trying to remove the contrary impress
sion from the public mind. Probably
the impression that he is not honest
arises chiefly from his long-continued
advocacy Of dishonest money, but it is
undoubtedly d%eepened and confirmed by
Mr.. Bryan's false pleadings and habit
of trickery in discussing public ques-
tons. Mr.. Bryan's receptions and tricks
of argument are continually exposed
and ridiculed, but he goes on using
them. To his %curiously commonplace
mind the exposure Of a false and foolish
argument does not appear to be a good
reason for discarding it.
He has declared probably a hundred
times that the treasury is al this day
and all the time coming silver dollars at
the ratio of 16 to 1. He evidently thinks
his audiences are ignorant enough to
believe that the Mckinley administra-
ton is doing just what he would do if
he We're elected, only that the present
administration is trying to deceive the
people about it. Many hundred times
all over the country have pointed out
that the limited coinage of the silver in
the treasury is as far as the poles are
asunder from the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver. The ability Of the
government to keep inviolate it's pledge
to maintain the coins of the two metals
at a parity of value is not at all i'm
paired by the coming of treasury bull
lion within the narrow limits fixed at
the discretion of government officers de-
voted to the maintenance of sound
money and the faith of the nation. The
Bryan doctrine of 16 to 1 demands that
the minis receive all the silver offered
to be coined into dollars. Gree and
unlimited" are the words of the plat
form. Mr.. Bryan knows and all his
Populist supporters know that free and
unlimited coinage would produce such
a Whelming flood of silver that the re-
sources of the government would be al
together inadequate to the maintenance
Of gold and silver coins at a parity. The
government would be forced to suspend
specie payments. The silver would not
circulate, and paper would be our ac-
tual money. The credit of the govern
ment would suffer as the credit of an
individual suffers when he can "pay"
his debts only by giving his note, and
can take up his old notes only by CIV
ing new ones.

Colonel Bryan is stirring up class ha-
tired at every conceivable opportunity.
AT the home of Senator Depew in New
York he referred to the senator's
wealth so as to draw a comparison with
the income of the day laborer, and
urged the conclusion that therefore the
laborer should not vote for the party to
which Senator Depew belongs. A more
anarchistic and childish argument could
not be used, Independent of the fact
that the Democratic party is dominated

Colonel Bryan is hoarse, Roosevelt's
voice is giving out, while Stevenson is
suffering severely from the strain that
campaigning has imposed upon him.
The newspapers voice, however, is not

espouses as it was four weeks ago, and
will continue so until election day. Tt is
