WANTED-FAMILIEs OF OVER TEN.
Some wag in New York endeavored
the other day to have published in the
New York papers an advertisement,
ostensibly BY direction of President
Roosevelt, that he wanted to appear
before him, at his Sycamore Hill home,
the parents of all families OF over ton
in number, euch families to accom-.
pany their parents on the visit to Oy-
ster Bay, and no race excluded. The
advertisement stated that the parents
of large families would be presented
by the President with 500 and have
all expenses OF the trip paid out OF the
Presidents pocket. who desired opti-
cal assurance that his fears Is to race

ton. The advertisement was rejected
at all the newspaper Offices, and it was
solely to this fact that the President
did not realize the fate of the man
who was made to say through the
came medium that q dollar apiece
would be paid for all cats delivered to
him at his downtown store on q Ger.
tain morning. Had the advertisement
appeared. it is very probable that Sag.
amore Hill would have witnessed a
scene never eQualed by the largest Or

PRESIDENT Roosevelt is trying to
square himself with the labor unions
for his arbitrary reinstatement of Viii.
liam A. Miller as Assistant Foreman
of the Government Printing Office.
Miller had pull" and the executive
hand wanted TO manipulate It. But
as Miller had been expelled from .
labor organization, It was Q slap in the
face that at once aroused confederated
labor and it began to express its opin-
jon in no uncertain manner. 1t seems,
however, that Mr.. Roosevelt had q
string on the Reinstatement, and at
once explained thatit was only pending
examination, and that If the charges
are sustained the order of dismissal
will stand.

A" BBEAD-RIoT." At Newark, N. j.,
Tuesday. was melted by peculiar con-
ditions. It seems that tho Jewish
bakers were on strike for q holiday
on Saturday; that the stock of un-
leavened bread had become exhausted
when two Hebrews obtained supply
from New York and appeared with
two wagon-loads. A raid was made
on the stock by a clsmorous throng,
and men and women fought their way
to the wagons, when q number of men
began throwing the bread into the
crowd. The police after vigorous
contest dispersed the rioters.

A SoMNAMBULANT PREAcHER.-Well
may one exclaim Will wonders never
cease?" when confirmed by an elo-
quent preacher in the Hoosier State,
who can only preach when he is
asleep. Elder kaufman resides in Elk
hart county, and is a Dunkard, or
Seventh-Day Baptist, in profession.
When he is appointed to preach at an
evening service, he goes to the church
early in the afternoon and lies down
upon a cot prepared for the purpose
and is soon asleep. His auditors gath
er quietly in the building and al the
hour OF service the sleeping preacher
rises, enters the pulpit and begins his
discourse, in English or German, as
the occasion requires. He never "a
peats sermon, nor hesitates or loses
the thread OF his discourse, occupying
generally from two to three hours, in
eloquent and logical presentations OF
his subject. Physicians who have ex-
amined his condition while speaking,
declare it is true somnambulism, and
as the man while awake is by no
means able to present as brilliant an
array OF argument, his followers firmly
believe that he is inspired by some
higher power. The Spiritualists will,
OF course, find no difficulty In attrlb.
uting his performances to spirit con.
troll.

Tell the Truth.

The Democrats of Lancaster county, |
Pa, have, by resolution, expressed
their opinion of the attempt to foist
Cleveland into prominence as Moses
in the next national campaign. The
committee unanimously adopted the
following resolution
"Resolred, That we condemn the a t.
tempt of the so-called reOrganizers, VIII o,
with the aid OF Republican newspape RS,
are irving to boom the nomination OF a
candidate who is repugnant to a asst
majority of the Democratic party; and
il is our opinion that no member Of the
party who believes in the principles laid
down bv jefferson and Jackson and is
loyal To the best traditions OF the party
can favor such Il movement.
While the reorganization movement
may not he regarded as serious enough
to create much alarm, it is to such
outspoken expressions as this that
the party owes its stability in these
times when silence may be construed
into an apathy which may drift into
sudden and radical change. 1t was
such state of affairs which made
Cleveland's election possible in 1854;
morbid unrest; a desire for some
change from conditions that had well
nigh exhausted the patience OF people
who had 60 long and so patiently
waited for what they conceived to be
better forms of governmental policy.
The election OF Cleveland was as
much Of surprise to himself and his
supporters as it was to their oppon-
ents. 1t was, If tho popular vote is
fair expression, revolution in ssnti-
ment as sudden as it was radical, and
came with such overwhelming force

TELEPATHY PRovED.-Upon a no

tigation conducted by Editor Stead, of

transference of messages over quite a

be quite step in advance of the latest
acknowledged achievement OF scien-
tific wireless telegraphy. An

which we CLEAN as follows: The in

six distinguished men, including Stead

Again in Middle Of the Road.

At a conference of populi-t- in ses-
sion two days, this week, at Denver,
the resolutions committee reported an
address, TO the public, in winch it was
declared that tie hatchet hat had so
long been crimsoncd with >anguiuary

can never bee brought t. the surface
again. The reason for this, they al
firm to be, the impending necessity
Tor a saline element to permeate the
body polite, and the utter worthless
ness OF both the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties as means for freeing it
ton that are fast reducing it to u
ghost of its former SELF
The party declares in favor OF indie
pendent national political action, on
the code of principles enunciated at
Omaha, July 14th, 1898, which de-
clares for fiat money; paternal govern

date (of course); no pop platform
would be safe without that handrail.
1t is expected that the work of the
resolutions committee would be cOrdi-
ally endorsed by the two national
committees, representing the middle
of.the.roaders and the more conserva-
tive portion OF the party, which like.
wise met this week. A committee
that had been appointed by the last
National Convention, TO select an ac-
tive citizen in each State to work in
connection with the national com.
mittees, had not yet been able to COM
plete its work, an indication that
while the jawbone OF the movement is,
as ever, noted for its Submarines, the
organization Of the party is in state
of chaos and the spirit that goes for.
ward with steadfastness and vigor to
win battles is wofully deficient.
IT'S ever thus with our populistic
friends. They are prompt to ever
vesce; they are quick to kick; they
are proficients in compiling calamity
statistics; but from some cause
probably from the great number of
leaders-they fail to concentrate their
energies for . determined conflict.
They are iconoclastic in spirit; they
can tear down existing policies much
easier than build up fabric from the
theories they advance.
The address is signed by the six
members of the committee appointed
to formulate plnn of action for re-
building the party. There is not one
OF the hslf-a.dozen names that is
known in national politics. They are
ALL bedrock, mudsill, middle-of-tbe-
road Populists, and will bring to bear
just the amount'of vitality that their
several individualities represent. They
will realize, at esch succeeding step,
that it would have been better to have
formed q new party than to attempt
the task of tanning into flame from
the embers OF defeat party that has
never achieved . victory.
