Decline Of ms Party since a Nomi-
mated Genera weaver I'm 1904.


New York Sun.
Ten years often bring about a great
change In American politics. but II is TO
be doubted whether any similar period
has seen 30 sweeping a change as marks
the practical placement OF the peoples
party Cpopulists). organized in 1899.
In that year the p~opulist candidate for
president, General Weaver. polled more
than a million votes. He was put in
nomination at a convention held at Omaha
on July 4. 1909, and the delegates who
nominated him, impressed with the i'm
portance OF the movement they were inau-
gurating, declared in their platform that
assembled upon the 1i6th anniversary
OF the Declaration Of independence, the
peoples party in America, In its first ma
tional convention. invoking upon its action
the blessing OF Almighty God. puts forth
in the name and behalf Of the people Of
this country the following declaration of
principles"
The 1000, 900 votes cast for the populist
candidate for president were well dis
tributed throughout the states Of the coun-
try and in only two of them Delaware and
Vermont, no p~opulist electoral ticket was
run.
The party received It's highest vote in
Kansas, 16S, 900, and the states carried by
the %populists were Kansas, Colorado, Idaho
and Nevada. In Oregon and North Dakota
the populist candidates received a portion
Of the electoral vote.
No outside parry for many years had
polled so large a vote and It was accom-
panied with populist representation in both
houses Of congress.
In 1896 the ~populists became a part Of
the fusion on Bryan. In 1900, after disas-
trous political experiences meanwhile, the
surviving members of the organization
nominated Wharton Barker for president
and he received 2O7, 900 votes-one-hfth
OF the total cast for General Weaver.
At last years election the populist party,
maintaining it's organization and nominal
ing candidates in eight states only, polled

process is completed. IT might take up the

Persons who dropped into the church Of
Rev. DIT. Charles H. Parkhurst on sunday
morning and %profaned the contribution box
with scent pieces. heard from that gentle
man with vigor and suddenness that curled
their hair.
These drifters, these dead-heads," said
DR.. P%arkhurst, come into the church of
a Sabbath morning and drop a nickel in
the plate while occupying a seat in a pew
paid for by some other man. These are
the people who hear nothing in the gospel
except the words, without money and with
out price Their attitude savors Of So
cislism. A socialist, you will understand,
is not a man who wants to divide his
money with hts neighbors, but a man who
wants his neighbors to divide their money
with him"

One frequently hears the query: "what
becomes Of the unsold Christmas trees ?"
II some OF the persons curious on this
point had been on Vesey street, near Wash
ington Market, on New Years morning,
the answer would have been apparent, re-
ports the Evening Post. Nearly 100 trees,
large and small-the unsold stock Of 1.-THE
Farm" as that particular Christmas tree
market Is known-wer there, piled up
orderly. Soon a few small children APP
peared, and began to appropriate the un-
graded trees. Within fifteen minutes the
little ones were as plentiful as sparrows,
all working methodically in piling the
spruce and hemlock in a big heap. The
hnal result was a bonfire, such as the city
child seldom has the opportunity to enjoy.
The policemen on that beat looked on
laughing, unmindful of the ordinance pro-
hibiting bonhres in the streets. Sure, it's
only onct a year," was his comment.
Two men were walking behind an ele-
gantly dressed woman on Fulton street the
other day, relates the Brooklyn Eagle.
"Did you ever see me hypnotic a
woman" asked one.
"Nonsense!" the other sneered.
BET you 81 l can make that woman
ahead Of us touch both her ears before she
has gone half a block"
do you know herr"
mo. Never saw her before"
what would you do to herr"
Nothing but walk behind her. l won't
touch her"
"what would you say to herr"
Nothing; not a word"
IAN you'll make her put both her hands
to her ears without touching her or speak
Ing to herr"
Yes, sir"
well, itn be worth 81 to see you do 1t.
"Ill have to go YOU"
VERY well! Watch now!" In a tone
loud enough for the woman to hear he said
to his companlon: Charley how do you
like the new fashion the women have OF
wearing only one earring?"
Instantly the woman clapped one gloved
hand and then the other to her ears to see
II she had lost one of her sparklers.
It'll work every time said the winner.

OF THE PROUD STEAM.FITTER

Robert Howard Russell.
this Country is the vawdyville Artist
who works 2S Minutes a Day for SITS
a Week.
Still, with your restricted Income,
you cannot seek the elevating grind of
our kind of Society,"" said the Lady of
the House. That must grind you a
good deal, especially if you have Chill
dren growing up. 1 can imagine that
1t would be hard lines to know that
your Offspring have no Social Careers
awaiting them"
Me and my Wife lay awake Nights
and cry about it," said the Steam Fit
ter. I'VE thought for while we
might save up and buy Jimmy an
Auto, but when we looked in the Cata-
logue we found that the Price was
$4,000 So we decided if he wanted to
practice Homicide it would be cheaper
to get him on the Police Force. Being
too poor to send him to a University,
we let him take Lessons at a Boxing
Academy and now, when any one starts
Rough House, he is almost as handy
as regular Student. He can smoke
Egyptian Cigarettes land blow the
Smoke through his Nose, and he gives
me the Laugh when I call him down,
and SO feel that we have accomplish
ed by Home Training what might have
been expected from a College Course.
AS for Vivian, our bright-eyed little
Daughter, she is the zippiest High
Flyer that speeds the Boulevard. When
it comes to French Heels and the long
Straight Front and all kinds of Blouse
hanging in front of her, she can make
the average Society Bud look like a
bum Imitation. She has one of these
wig-wag Walks-the kind that makes
People jump off the Sidewalk. OF
course, she is only the Daughter of an
obscure Steam Filter, but let me give
you Pointer. You can't tell by lookin'
at one of these Fairies nowadays what
kind of Clothes her Father wears.
When it comes to Lugs, I can't see that
the Heiress has any Bulge on the SIM
pie Working Girl. AS to butting into
the Social Swim, she has a Scheme
all framed up, by which she expects to
become acquainted with all of the gold
plated Johnnies who infest the Munic-
ipality. She is going on the Stage to
be a Show Girl. She says that the
Debutante seldom has more than one
on her Staff while the Show Girl can
take her Pick of a large Bunch. So
you see that in these Days of Public
Schools and cheap Reading Matter and
custom-made limitations, even the most
Humble can occasionally make Bluff
at being the Real Thing. So long as
my Children boot at my Suggestions
and tell me every Day where to get off
