nnd Mrs. Hryan at Ues Moines nml at
r.:.10 they wont to the depot where i!od
or 300 people were assembled. Gen
cral Weaver ucuoiiipnnlcil Mr. Hryan
to Now ton ntul Mrs. Watts of Dcs
Moines rode with Mrs. Hryan as far
as Cut fax. The iruln was a local
passenger.
At Alloona about twenty men were
on the platform and they cheered un
til Mr. Ilrynn appeared. General
Weaver said they were nearly all Re
tmblicani who had fallen Into line for
silver.
At Mltchellvllle tlieto were 200 peo
ple at tho depot and Mr. Hryan shook
hands during the brief stop.
Colfax was readied a few minutes
before ti o'clock and about 1,000 peo
pie, many of them miners with lamps
In caps, were present, lie no nil Weav
er Introduced Mr. Itiyau as the next
president and ho paid compliments to
General Weaver as a pioneer for free
silver. The train was moving as his
last sentence wus uttered.
At Newton at H;15 there wcro about
l.L'OO people on the platform, on box
ears, on bulldlnijs and In carriages.
General Weaver presented Mr. Hryan,
wno saiu: "ii i am not mistaken,
your town bears the namu of a man
who Is given credit for starting tho
law of gravitation. Sonio of the laws
of finance I may say nil the great
laws of finance are as certain in their
operation ami as Irresistible in their
force as tho law of gravitation. If
you throw a stone in the air you say
it will come down. Why'. Hocnuse
it is drawn toward tho center of the
earth. The luw upon which we base
our tight is as sure ns that. I.f wo
have a gold standard prices will go
down."
At Kellogg the R00 people wore ap
peased when Mr. Hryan shook hands
with as many of them ns could push
through the crowd and there was no
demand for a speech.
At Urinuell 2,000 people were In
wailing. In the midst of the hand
shaking there were many erics for a
speech and Mr. Hryan responded,
though a freight train partly spoiled
the speech.
Iowa Cirv, Iowa, Aug. 8. Atllrook
lyn about fiOO people listened to a
short address which Mr. ilrynn de
livered from a wagon.
Thero were 2,00u people at tho Mar
engo depot, but only about half of
those present could get within hear
ing distance of the rear platform.
Mr. Hry.tn spoko a follows: "Ladies
and Gentlemen: Tho name of youi
town, they tell me, Is Murengo, and
it recalls one of the great battles of
history. I have been told by some of
those who met mo in tho train that
the battle fought at Marengo was no
inoro bitter as :i struggle than the
baltlo that is going to be fought hero
for the purpose of restoring tlio gold
and silver standard of the constitu
tion, I am glad to hear of it, nnd I
wish you success in your efforts. 1
am not going to enter into a discus
sion of politics, bee. i use I have not
been notified of my nomination."
At Downey 1,!10U people cheered ns
tho train passed, and nt West Liberty,
whero tho train stopped for twenty
minutes for dinner, over n thousand
people greeted Mr. Hryan. Ho de
clined to say unvthing for the present
when his attention was called to tho
decision of the gold standard Demo
crats to' hold a national convention at
Indianapolis. Ho was shown n dii-
fiatcli announcing that employes of
ittsburg iron mills had been 'called
upon to contribute to tho McKinley
campaign fund, and said: "1 very
much prefer that they contribute their
funds to McKinlcy and their votes to
the cause of free silver."
After dinner Mr. Hryan addressed
the people from tho porch, saying:
"Ladies and gentlemen: I suppose
that this is what may bo called an
after dinner speech, slnco I have just
finished an excellent dinner. I am
very glad to sco you and to glvo you a
chance to meet a candidate. I believe
It is the duty of any person who is a
cnndldnto for ofllce to become ac
quainted with the peoplo whom he la
to serve if elected. There is an old
fashioned idea which to my mind is
tho idea to bo entertained in this coun
try, that the party chosen is nothing
but a hired man, no matter how ex
alted tho ofllco or how lowly. Ho is
simply employed for a certain tiise at
n certain salary to do certain work
and tho people employ him, not be
cause thoy desire to, but because they
are too numerous to do tho work
themselves.
"And you have the right to choose
tho persons who are to uo your work
anil to watch them nil tho timo they
nre nt work, in other words we live
in a land whero tho government de
rives Its just powers from the csnsent
of the governed. Not only tho pow
ers of government, but all tho
authority of those who govern is de
rived f i om the people themselves, anil
It is my opinion that the pooplo
ought to keep thonisolves In a posi
tion where thoy can exercise as much
restraint ns possible over those -ho
temporarily servo them. This is tho
best country in tho world. You pick
out a person, put him in ofllce; ho
berves you awhile tnd then steps
down and becomes one of you ngmn,
and someone else takes the place, nnd
so wo go en from time to time. I inn
glad to have a chance to see some of
tho people whoso servant I shall be if
in November I shall receive a consti
tutional majority of tho voto of the
people."

Omaiu, Neb, Aug. 10. The Ilrynn
tour through tho Knst was Inaugur
ated at - o'clock jestonlay afternoon
under decidedly favorable condition!
and nusplces. It was n day of torrid
temperature, but long before time for
the departure of thu Ilrynn party tho
Hock Island depot platform was
crowded, and when the carriage con
taining Mr. nnd Mrs. Hryan, drovo
up, u round of cheers went up from
over J.O0O throats. From that time
on until the train pulled out, anxious
people jostled ensh other without
compunction as thoy pressed around
their honored fellow citizen, and
eagerly grasped his hand and clung
to It long enough to breathe a fervent
Ood-spcccd for himself and his mis
sion.
lu response to continued nnd per
sistant calls for o speech, Mr. Hryan
said:
"Ladles and Gentlemen: In ordi
nary times I would have desired to
have tho notification tako place nt my
home. Hut this Is not an ordinary
campaign nnd I felt that the cause
should arise above any personal de
sires we might have and therefore ex
pressed the desire to bo notified lu
New York, in order that our cause
might be presented first in the heart
of what now seems to bo the enemy's
country, but which wo hope to bo our
country before this campaign Is over."
(lireat applause a ml cheering.)
Thero were .100 people gnthcrcd
around thu depot when tho train
bearing the Hryan party pulled into
Omaha. Those, however, wcro en
thusiastic in tho extreme, many of
them being personal acipiaiutauccs of
the candidate. Thero was a stop of
tlfty-llvo minutes In that city and the
nominee went out on thu walks about
tho depot and shook hands with his
visitors. Thero was no speechmak
iug. There was uo demonstration of any
note during tho stay lu Omaha. Short
stops were uiutlo at' the I'niou depot
in Council Muffs and tho local Hock
Island depot, and nt each about 100
people wore assembled. At the latter
place, the women were In the major
ity, and as they expressed a desire to
meet Mrs. Hryan, tno latter also came
upon the platform nnd held u recep
tion. At many places between Omaha nnd
Dcs Mollies, In., tho train stopped
while Mr. Hryan made speeches to
crowds of varying size. At DesMoluey
Mr. Hryan made two speeches.
NO GIVE UP TO CUBA
Premier Cnstllln of .Spain ''allot Plain to

MAP!t, Aug. 10. Thero wnsa long
debate over the budget In the chamber
of deputies yesterday which had es
pecial interest in view of tho riots in
the province of Valencia over the im
position of frosh taxes and thu dissat
isfaction over tho war In Cuba. Ss'enor
Mnret criticised thu dangerous gov
ernment projects.
Premier Cunovas del Castillo ropllcd
as foHows: "Tho government only
desires to meet tho necessities of the
Cuban war which, having sprend over
tlio whole island, prevents Cuba from
contributing for its cost. Tliercforo
an extraordinary budget is neces
sary. The government hns already
bf en authorized to borrow 500,000,000
pesetas (S1 00,000, OOP), but to apply to
thu bank of Sp'itu for such a loan
would iiiuko tho fiduciary circulation
enormous. I cannot content myself
with tho proposals of the liberal mi
nority." faeiior Sllvela, the leader of tho dis
senting conservatives, questioned tho
government ns to the duratl n of tho
wnr in tuba and Sonar Ca ovas re
plied that the rebels would never van
quish tho Spanish army. I'ntcss this
happened he refused to believe that
the Spanish people would becomo tired
of tho war. In that caso ho would
renounce public life forever. This as
sertion was treated with cheers. Spain
was determined at all hazards to main
tain her sovereignty in Cuba.

Courier-Journal in Its reports of tho
"sound money" Democratic meeting
at Indianapolis says that Generals

upon as "sound money" candidates

Hoth, it is said, have conseutcd to

they probably will command tho bus

Strangely enough, both men wcro

the war, each with a vuliunt record.
It Is argued that this also will glvo

'THE RED CLOUD CHIEF,
NATIONAL
DEMOCRACY
Viiinc of the New (Intel Itpiuncratle Party
It' I'urimftr,
Indianapolis, Intl., Aug 10 Tho
provisional national committee of
those Democrats who do not Indorse
the recent Chicago platform, met hero
yesterday nnd decided to call a na
tional convention to place u third
ticket lu tho field. The movement
was given the name of thu National
Democratic party. Its organizers call
those supporting thu Chicago plat
form and ticket tho l'opulist Demo
cratic party The national convention
of the new party will bo held nt
Indianapolis the first week in Sep
tember. Some of tho Eastern and Southern
members opposed a third ticket nt
first, but when they wcro told that in
the Middle Stales p.irty fealty was so
regarded that many Deirocrats would
not voto unless there was a third
ticket, then nil objections from tho
East and South were withdrawn and
thu decision to hold a convention was
unanimous.
The strongest opposition to a third
ticket came from lihode Island and
To.as tho smallest nnd the lnrgrst
State. They wero given thu fullest
consideration because of the desire for
unanimous action, which was finally
secured.
Tho Illinois nnd Ohio delegation did
not nsk for anything, but there was a
general drift for Senator l'almer for
President. Tho Kentucky delegation
also asked for the convention nt Louis
ville, but Indianapolis showed a guar
anteed fund of tin, HDD for all expenses,
and tho gniininteo in this case wns
made to u body of very substuntial
men, who duly appreciated the best
bid. There were objections from nil
to holding the convention lu any city
in which n national convention had
been held this year. Tho committee
men said: "Wo will go before tho
people on the dltTorencu between tho
Indianapolis platform and ticket, and
thu platform ami ticket that bear the
brands of other cities.
General John M. Palmer of Illinois
wns unanimously chosen chairman of
tho natlonnl committee. John K.
Wilson of Indiana was elee'ed secro

wns elected treasurer. Hon. Joseph
II. Outhwnito of Ohio as chairman of
the committee on u call for tho na

"To tho Democrats of tho United
States:
"A political party has always been
dell ncd to bu an association of voters
to protnoto tlio success of political
principle held In common. Tho Dem
ocratic party, during its whole his
tory, hns been pledged to promoto tho
liberty of tho individual, the security
of private rights nnd property, and
tho supremacy of tho law. It has
ul ways insisted upon a safe and stable
money for tho people's use. It fins
insisted upon tlio malntenanca of tho
financial honor of the nation, as well
us upon tho preservation inviolate of
tho institutions established by tho
constitution. These, Its principles,
were abandoned by tlic supposed rep
resentatives of tho party nt a national
convention recently ussembled at Chi
cago. "Tho Democratic party will, there
fore, ccaso to exist unless it bo pro
served by the voluntary action of such
of Its members ns still adhere to tho
fundamental principles No majority
of tho members of that convention,
however large, had nny right or
Dower to sin render those principles.
When they undertook to do so, that
assemblage ceased to be a Democratic
convention. Thu action taken, the
irregular proceedings und the pint
form enunciated uy that body wero
nnd nre utterly and indefensibly rev
olutionary and constitute such radical
departures from tho principles of truo
Democracy, which should character
ize a sound and patriotic administra
tion of our country's nfTnlrs, that its
results aro not entitled to the confi
dence or support of true Democrats.
"Thorefore, the Nntionnl Demo
cratic party of tho United States,
through its regularly constituted com
mittee, hereby calls a national con
vention of that party, for the an
nouncement of its platform and the
nomination of candidates for tho
ofllccH of president and vice president
of the United States, and the trans
action of such business us is incidental
thereto, to be held at Indianapolis on
Wednesday, the 2d day of September,
1 8t0, nt 1- o'clock noon, aud hereby
request that the members of the party
in the several status who believo in
sound money nnd tho preservation of
law nnd order and who arc unalter
ably opposed to the platform adopted
and candidates nominated at Chicago,
will select, in Mich manner as to them
shall seem best, a number of dele
gates to tho same, equal to twicu tho
number of electoral votes to which
such states aro respectively entitled.

that there are niiiny pietty women In
HiiRland and that the majority ot them
loom to have nssMiihleil on Ascot race

all the beauties thero was, of com so,
the Princess of Wales, who looked ns

of tdiliuiiiprlng gray silk with a mnall
bonnet touched with pink und violet
on her Kiacof.nl head, outlined fdmrply
ngalnst the circling background of her
black and white chiffon-draped parasol.
And then there was pietty little Prin
cess Maud, In cool-looking black and
white, and her hIhIit. I'iIiicchs Victo
ria (nut at all guild looking) in the name
combination. If you take the whole
lift of nainoH from Dohrett'H IVerngi',
a good sprinkling of HelcctloiiH from
the Almiiniu'h do Gotha, and n rcpie
fiontatlvp contingent from the IIsIh of
County Fanillhri. und you will get an
excellent idea of the brilliant gather
ing that assembled on each of the four
days to watch tho running of the moRt
fashionable races of tho year. One of
tlu prettiest gowns 1 saw In the royal
inclosuro was specially admirable be
cause of Its comparative bliupllclty,
most of the tollettcfl I noticed erring on
the side of over elaboration. Tho co3
tunie that earned my critical attention
watt a very line grass lnwn with np
pllqurd HcnnlRsauco lace over roso
pink antln, the lace being deep nnd par
ticularly handsome at the font of the
skirt. Tho bodice was accordcon
plcnted chtfTon, the applique grass lawn
forming n smart little jacket with
b.thquc Hound the waist wnB n wide
rnfic-plnk mlrolr velvet holt fastened
with eight small pnstc buttons. The
fIpcvca were made tight of accordcon
pleated chiffon, and largo bowB of
grass lawn caught with paste huckloH
falling over them. This particularly
striking costume was completed by an
enormous Leghorn hat with pink rosea
laid around the brim nnd Riii-mountcd
by white feathers nnd Paradise illumes.
Fortunately tho girl upon whom tills
pink and White excellence was ex
pended was tall nnd exceedingly pret
ty. Shu carried, to complete the perfect
effect of tho whole, n lingo par.iRol of
lose-plnk ant In draped with gtaas lawn
nnd running over with littlo frills of
lnco and fringed with tiny rosebuds.
The handle was of ivory not with coral,
and n big bunch of pink roses w:ib tied
close to the end.
Then, in tho way of gowns, nothing
could have been nioro excellent than n
toilette worn by a lndy who was In the
Duko and Duchess of Marlborough's
party. It (the gown) was of tho palest
lingo of inntive lawn, printed with tiny
hluck figures and worn over n lining of
n rather deeper tone of tho aamo color.
Hound tho edgo of tho skirt wcro six
nnrrow flouncco, nil bunched together,
of tho niativo lawn, edged with black
lace, while the waist was encircled by n
deep belt of black catln, fastening in
front under a big buckle of antique
liver set with great turquoises. Tho
bodlco vna of the mauve lawn, but tho
whole front of it nnd a pointed yoke
shaped piece In the hnck was heavily
embroidered with turquoise, outlined
with nllver and jet.
Around the throat wns a broad band
of bright blue Ratln ribbon, above
which was a full ruffle of black lace.

the Duchess of Took when "Princess

distinction.
Naturally qulto the lovollcBt thing
thst has been produced In recent years
is "The Hook of Heuuty," about which
thero linH been Mich a lot of gossip
lately. Somo of tho prettiest women
and most artistic picttiicB in the vol
mno havo been painted by that Justly
well-known artist, Mr. Percy Anderson,
whose portnrlts In water colors have
como to bo considered very much "the
thing" among the most fashlounblo
people lu London. He hns painted
mofit of the most beautiful women of
tho day nnd his Hiiccesa as a portrait
painter has been ns rapid ns It has
heen well-deserved. He lives In a most
nttractlvo house close to Regent's park,
and Ib, by tho wny, an earnest ndvo
catc of tho bicycle. His studio Is quite
unique nnd remarkably pretty. It wns
originally tho brick-paved "yard" of
the Iioik;p, hut he has built It In with n
glara roof nnd deep-windowed walls,
nnd the result Is n spacious and well
lighted studio. Hero in n deep Ingle
nook Is n great fireplace, the dark oak
woodwork and crimson hangings form
ing an admirable contrnst to tho wealth
of light that pours through the glass
paned celling. Ono of tho walls is the
orlglnnl "garden wall," nnd up Its
slilo traverses tho greon luxurlnnco of
a fig tree, and tho effect of color nnd
freshness Is as pretty as It Is original.
A flight of stairs leads to a bnlcony
overlooking this curious room, in
which abound lovely pictures, rare
crockery, masses of flowers and nn en
tiro rcstfulncsa and rcposefulnoss of
aspect that Is conducive to an ttn
rulllcd frame of mind.

And then there Is tho Countess of

The ltrlllsli Hoard of Agriculture hnu
Just Issued Its ofllclnl figures for 1895,
which tell nn interesting nnd signifi
cant story, incidentally it npprn-i that
the extent of woodlands In Ore. llrlt
aln Is 2,720,000 ncreB, of which 132,000
acrea have been planted In the Inst
fifteen years. During tlio last year
thero has been n gain of about AO.OOO
acres. The most striking llgures relnte
to the shrinkage In the amount of land
under tho plow, which was Increased
by tho unpropltloiiB chnracter of thu
nutunin seed time of 1891 and early
spring of $95. More than GIO.OOO
acrcB less of wheat wero grown and 57,
000 acres less of minor gialn crops, ryr,
beans nnd peas. One-fifth part of the
surface withdrawn from these crops or
from wheat was devoted to ban-y nnd
oats; but the corn land of 189,' was lesa
by nearly 155.000 acres than that of
1894, vvhllo weather conditions, chock
ing tho preparation of thu customary
nrea for tut nips nnd other green crops,
caused a further reduction of 112,000
ncres under this cultivation. The stir
face under potatoes, small fruit, lu
cerno and flax was larger by -IC.OOO
ncres, mid the acreage left under bate
fallow was extended by nearly 100,000
acres,
Tho net reduction of nrnblo land wni
197,000 acres, nnd the net addition to
tho permanent pasture a little over
145,000 acres. The actual loss of arable
area lu the last two decades Is 2,137,
000 acres. The reduction of wheat
growing nlone iiccountB for most of thin
Iobb. Under this head thero was n total
diminution of more than 1,900,000 ncroa
between 1 87." nnd 1895. More than a
third of tho decline In tho nrablo urea,
and more than half of thlfl reduction
in wlicnt acreage, occurred lu the last
live years of the twenty.

The European countries prefer to Im
prove tho quality more vigorously than
to Increase the numbers of tholr horses.
Englnntl has only 1,529,000, vvhllo wo
have lu the United Slates IC.000,000
horses, n vciy Email per cent of which
mo sultahlo for city market and ex
port. Uusslii has 30,000,000 horses of
still more Inferior qunllty, unfit for nny
miirkct mid too small for farm work.
The Russian trotter has had thu en
couragement of the government. Now
tho pensants aro urging the govern

Miltablo for their farm work to haul
tho heavy fnrm machines. Small horsea
In Inrgo numbers will impoverish any
country, and It Ib well for America that
tlio rnneh horse nnd tho Uttlo trotter no
longer pay for their feed, vvhllo thero
Is such great demand for high-class
draft nnd coach horses nt high prices
because they are so scarce. Ex.

Tho old, cruel check rein has stiffen
ed up tho foro legs of moro livery
horseB than all the work they have
done. So, too, of many track and driv
ing horscH In tho country. Tho check
rein Injures the muscles of the neck,
nnd tho foro legs nro affected. Often
tho shoer Is blamed when it Ib tho
check rein. The htimano societies havo
tho co-operation of the city horso own
ers who have tnken off tho cruel chock
rein from the enrringo horscBnnd work
horses. Aside from tho cruelty, this
affection ot the usefulness of the horso
should induce the thoughtless, kind
hearted people who drive horses to for
ever banish the tortuous check rein ns
a savage relic that 13 painful to the
horso nnd painful for most peoplo to
see. In behnlf of the horse, wo entreat
you to abolish tho check ieln if you still
thoughtlessly torture your horse with
It. Ex.
Ilrcaklng n Kicker. An exchange
says that n veteran broncho buster
gives the following us a sure way to
cine n horse of kicking: "Tho way wo
fix it kicking horse Is to tie ono of his
forelegs with u rope to tho hind leg on
the other tide. Then, as soon ns he
btnrts to kick, he Jt-rks his frout leg oft
tho ground and f;oe3 down in n heap.
Two or three doses of that kind will
cure the wond case you can fltid."
Tho Lily for Shady Positions. Thir

qulto largo trees, under which graas

wild plants as can thrive in denso

tho yellow day Illy. This has spread
