Last Saturday the adjourned session

daunted the populists, and at the ap

guided the team up the steep hill

the onlj' remaining occupant of the car

Louisville was dressed in gala at

throwing its folds to the breeze from
every business house and many of the
residences, while across the street
from the place of meeting swung an
immense flag with a life size picture

from the City band of this place.

What pood has the f.ee coinage of
silver done the people of Mexico? It
has made money cheap, it is true, but
not plentiful. The republic o Mixico
has coined more than three billions of
"adobe dollars" since the mint was
opened. Most of these dollars have
been spent abroad like so much pi?
silver to supply the markets of the
world. So little remains in circula
tion that Mexicans have but little moie
