TELL HIM so.

n you have word of cheer
That may light the pathway drear
OF brother pilgrim here,
Let him know.
Show him you appreciate
What he does: and do not wait
Till the heavy hand Of Fate
Lays him low.
II your heart contains a thought
That will brighter make his lot,
Then, in mercy, hide it not:
Tell him so.
Wait not till your friend is dead
Ere your compliments are said;
For the spirit that has fled,
II it know,
Does not need to speed 1t on
Our poor praise; where II has gone
Loves eternal, golden dawn
Is aglow.
But unto our brother here
That poor praise is very dear;
II you've any word OF cheer
Tell him so.

Representation Made large so as to
Include POpuIists.

On May % next Wichita VIII entertain
the Democratic state convention, the
most important meeting that party in
Kansas has held in years. At this con-
vention win be cOnsummated either the
assimilation of the Popufist party in
Kansas or its defiance by the Democratic
allies.
For several weeks the committee Of
the Chamber of Commerce, headed by
David Leahy. has been working with the
members of the Democratic state central
committee 10 get them 10 call the con-
vention for this city. and yesterday their
work was rewarded at Topeka, where
the committee met. The decision was
for Wichita. and the date fixed upon May
20
The Democratic committee made the
representation large enough TO include
the Populists, in case they decide at
their meeting next month to abandon
their organization and affiliate with the
Democrats.
AS is well known. the Populists VIII
meet in Topeka in February. to decide
where they wiz 20 in the future-with
the Democrats. alone, or disband. The
Democrats expect them to Join with the
Democratic party, and the union Of
forces. it is anticipated is TO be made in
Wichita.
The securing Of the Democratic con-
vendon encourages many citizens to be-
lieve that the Republicans may also hold
their state convention here. At all events
Wichita is becoming a convention city
itself. and from present prospects every
month in the year 1902 VIII be signalizcd
