old parties as well as leading Socialists
and Populists will be prominent in the
meeting, and there is hope that some
practical good may be accomplished, es-
pecially II enough independent voters
are on hand to express their sentiments.
The meeting will be strictly first-class,
free from political juggling in favor OF
any party, and common sense and good
judgement will rule, regardless of the
political fortunes of any man or set
of men.
The National Direct Legislation league
will also meet at Detroit on the 9th,
and there will be meetings of other re-
form organizations. 80
Come to Detroit, If possible, and let us
have a grand time for the good of our
cause. Our meeting will come on after
the conference is over and our delibera-
tions will be uninterrupted.
AS there are thousands who cannot go
to Detroit, I suggest that everywhere
POpulists gather at the county seat or
elsewhere in each county and hold a re-
vival meeting of old time Populists, re-

Low FARES IN SWITZERLAND.

It is two years since the Swiss gov
ernment assumed the ownership and
operation of the entire railway system of
that nation.
There are at present about 1900 miles
of road operated.
Nine years ago the Swiss government
owned the greater part of the great Jura-
Simplon railway, and in 1898 completed
the purchase of the entire system.
From the American consul, Mr.. Frank
enthal, stationed at Berne, we learn that
the passenger rates have been greatly
reduced.
Tickets good over the entire railway
system of Switzerland for Is days are
sold at the following rates:
First class, $11.58.
Second class, $8.11.
Third class, $5.79.
Tickets good for one month:

property is to be used for private specu-
lation and from whose pockets will come
every dollar that goes into corporate
treasures.
My offer of $4,000, 900 is not made be-
cause l conceive that sum to be the
measure of the value of the franchises
granted by these ordinances, for I be-
lieve them to be much more valuable,
but merely as an indication to your
honor in concrete form Of the magnitude
of the gift conferred upon private citi-
zens without return to the people. It
seems to me that to give away such
franchises for nothing when others
stand ready to pay millions for the same
rights is little short OF public plunder.
Il earnestly urge upon your honor,
therefore, that you will veto the ordi-
nances now before you and secure, as
you can so well do with your known in
fiuence in the legislative body, the sus-
tanning Of your veto. in order that new
ordinances may be drafted comforting
the franchise in question only upon the
payment Of sum of money into the
public treasury commensurate to the
value Of the grant.
Il will cheerfully pay the sum I have
named, but l suggest to you that il the
new ordinance required the franchise
to be put up at auction and sold to the
highest bidder, an amount largely in ex-
cess of that which have designated
could be readily secured.
my sole object is to assist you in the
performance Of this public duty, and,
therefore, have made the offer herein
set forth that by veto Of the measures

self. 1t is usually the more simple
china that is ornamented in this
way, and an attempt is made always
to put the lettering upon the side or
wing of plate, as the professional

china was frequently marked in the
center of the plate, and the marking
was worn away by the knife and
fork, says the New York Tribune.
In some instances entire sets of
china for different courses are
marked, and always each piece of a
dish-the cover, the dish itself, and,
if soup tureen, the piece upon
which it rests. The letters for the
marking are always the initials of
the mistress of the house and are
put on in script in preference to the
block letters. The lettering is usual

private Secretary explaining that the
first gift to woman who~had three
children at birth was prompted sole
