To ALL DEMOCRATIC VOTERS:
II there ever was a time in the his
tory of the Democratic party for the
manifestation of loyalty and patriot
ism on the part OF its members, it is
right now.
If We are to win . victory and elect
President two years hence, we must
first elect House OF Representatives
this fall. A Democratic House can
and will Investigate every departments
Of the Government. With all OF them
honeycombed by "graft," the edges Of
which, only, have been touched by
recent exposure and prosecutions,
there will be q revelation of rottenness
that will astound the country and Gre
ate a demand for a Democratic ad-
ministration to clean the Government
workshop.
To win the House we need money to
defray legitimate expenses and get out
our vote. We have no protected
monopolies from which to draw to fill
our Golfers, as they do those OF the
Republican party. We must, there
fore. appeal to loyal Democrats for
contributions.
Will you send US 81 at once, and in
return for this we will send you copies
OF our campaign literature issued by
the committee. You will have the
thanks OF the entire Democratic party
for your favorable response to our
request.

Bryan s Welcome Home.

The date upon which Mr.. Bryan is
expected to arrive in New Iork-on
the 30th inst, next WEEKS drawing
nigh. and it is safe to cay, from pre-
parations long in progress, that no
ovation ever accorded to man will
equal it. The reception to Gen. Grant,
after his world pilgrimage, and of Adj
miral Dewey, after he had achieved
the most brilliant of all naval victor
les, will pale before it, for those dem
onstrations were the passing excite
ment of the day and confined to the
communities in which they were held.
Never before has the homecoming
of any great man been made the occa-
sion for national demonstration the
travel Of representatives thousands OF
miles, and excursions of thousands Of
people from cities of the Middle West
and far South, to testify by their pres
encc profound admiration for any pub
lie man. But his utterances are the
embodiment Of all that goes to make
American craftsmanship.
The trip from New York TO his home
at Lincoln, will be one continuous
succession OF ovations, and his arrival
home, probably on Sept. 9th, has al
ready been outlined at meeting of
the several committees appointed for
the purpose. 1t is not expected that
he will arrive till the afternoon of that
Wednesday-and the exercises
will be held on the State capitol
grounds. Gov. Mickey will deliver
the address Of welcome 10 which Mr..
Bryan will respond, followed by other
addresses by eminent men. The re-
ception will be held at night in the
capitol building, followed by fireworks
on the common. The business and
residence parts of the city will be
beautifully decorated for the day ser
vices and brilliantly illuminated at
night. There too arrangements are
being made to entertain large delega-
tions from many other States.

been drinking more than was good for

caught harmless garter snake, placed
it in the watering, corking it up, and
telling the other harvesters of the

scream Of terror, he threw the Jug to

jokers have been untiring in their
search, but so far without success.

PURCHASE OF SILvER.-Silver coin.
ope has been resumed and the Direc.
tor of Mints, George E. Roberts, has
announced that the Treasury Depart.
ment will purchase An average of 100,-
600 ounces OF silver weekly, regardless
of the effect upon the market. The
growth of the country and the inevi.
table loss of coin by fire and water re.
quires that about $4,000 of small
coin be put in circulation annually.
This rate of coinage has been kept up
since 1900, but the bullion has been
in the vaults to meet the demand.
Now the Department has none, and
has to 60 into the market for q supply.
Congress failed so pass several bills
introduced providing for purchase Of
bullion to meet this demand, but the
Attorney General has decided that
authority exists to make purchases
under existing laws. The government
should be satisfied in making near.
ly two dollars out Of one by placing a
false stamp of legalized value on a
metal deprecated by its own act.

Want to Be Absorbed.

The second annual meeting Of the
Niagara movement, an organization Of
co,ored people, assuming to be national
in scope, was held Saturday and Sun
day, at Harper's Ferry, Va, by which
an address was issued to the country,
that not only asks. but demands, alb
solute political equality with the white
race, and hints as we'll at full social
recognition. Freedom OF the ballot is
the first demand, which, ii exercised
intclligently and honestly, nobody is
now disposed to deny the colored man

exercise of quite number OF rights"
that are not thus guarded for his fellow
white man. The statute is, in some
cases, construed to make the plea of
color subordinate all other considera.

ment, to the letter, and declares that
it is "plain and premeditated breach
of promise, and stamps the party with
being guilty of obtaining votes under
false pretenses." 1t wants co.educa-
ton in the common schools, or rather
education on the plane for niger life
than of " servant" or " underling."
Probably the closing paragraph of
the address affords better insight to
to the intent OF the movement than
anything else. 1t reads:
Cannot the nation that has absorbed
10 600 600 foreigners into its political life
without catastrophe absorb l0,000OO0 ne

a VOICE FROM THE WAvEs.-1t ap-
pears that the Northern Indians have
done, without object, that which their
white brother should have done as a
duty, long ago, in the discovery of a
boat and pontoon in windworn caves
on the storm-beat shore, not far from
Cape Camanah, and the lighthouse,
whose keeper gave the first intimation
of the appalling Valencia disaster. In
the boat was found eight bleached
skeletons, telling mutely the Story Of
escape from the waves to die from ex-
posture and starvation. The boat is 10
good state OF preservation and may
be easily made seaworthy. The In
dams discovered it several months ago,
but kept the matter secret, to secure
and adapt it for their own use, but the
presence of the skeletons probably
worked upon their superstitious ma
lures as a safeguard. 1t will be re-
membered that the boat left the
wrecked steamer with load OF people
and was heard of no more, it being
long hoped that they had escaped. It
is said that the engines of the lost
steamer can still be quite easily recov.
cred with other valuable articles that
were submerged at the time OF the
disaster.
