For "Vico Prosident, ARTHUR SEWALL. THE. COMMON PEOPLE aro tired of tho old, worn-out chestnut of "protection" and "frco trado," having heard it harped upon all their lives. Tho only thing that will restore American prosperity ,IS THE FREE AND UNLIMITED coinage of silver at tho ratio of 10 to 1 And that's what w,q are going to havo and, "WITHOUT WAITING FOR THE CONSENT OF ANY OTHER NATION ON EARTH.' The True $qndition of Affairs. (Froni' tlio Silver Knight.) The isuo pj tho campaign is a conflict between tho monoy powers nnd tho pooplo. Tho ton thousand biLakB and trust companies under tho direction of Wall and Lombard streets have practically closed their doors against jrhoir customers and demands prompt payment of everything due them. Tho fact that this proceeding is destroying tho business of tho country is not taken into jpouajdoration by tho combination. tfnoy havo another, jftud to tlicm a more important mission 'to perform tliem to co-operato with tho business com munity in advancing tho prosperity of tho country. Thoy fear that if ordinary facilites are oxtonded to their customers somo of tho money will bo used by tho peoplo for campaign purpose, such as paying 'the espouse of spoakors and circu lating documents. They cannot afford 'to have silver literature circulated or silver debates con ducted if they can prevent it. 'They know very well that tho ruth is fatal to their wicked Bohomes. Besides they propose to 'increase tho poverty of peoplo tho and intonsfy tho misery of tho niasscs whichtho gqld standard has 'already produced by absolutely putting off every avenue by which monoy can bo obtained for neces sary purposes. 'They" think by that means tho hundreds of millions which they havo at command will be more effective in buying votes than it otherwise would be. They realize that there Is no hopo of subjugat ing tho people of tho United States 'and making them serfs unless they can so impoverish them that they will sell their manhood cheap. JThey boast of tho hundreds of jnillious behind Hauna's campaign, jmd hold 'out without a blush pnormous bribes to alj who sell themselves and their country into slavery. The issue is botwoou American manhood and the money wqrld in tho hands of the aristocrats, despots, ant gold WJf irnmblers of Europe and thoir to day followers of Ainoricn. If tho voters of tho Amorioan peoplo aro sold in Novombor next it may bo tho last auction block used for tho salo of human rights. When American liberty goes under the hammer to Batisfy tho lovo of power and greed for gold of tho oncmios of tho human jraco, what other pooplo and what other countries will make tho effort and onduro tho sacrifices nocessary to plant and nourish the tree of liberty for tho benofit of mankind? If tho institutions of American crumblo bofbro the cunning of monarchs and the fraud and treachery of tho trusted servants of tho people, what hopo will remain for suffering humanity but tamo submission to tho degrading con dition of tho serfdom of tho Dark Ages, Tho political situation in New York is an enigma to somo peo plo, but wo seo in it only tho signs of silyor success. Tho Wall street wing of tho Democracy do siroS to control tho state conven tion in tho intorost of tho gold standard. They hardly expect to securo tho indorsement of Mc Kinloy outright, but thoy think they can insure him tho electoral voto of Now York stato by gag ging the stato convention so that it cannot indorse tho national Democratic policy as announced at Chicago; and thoy ovon hopo to go further and indorso tho Mc Kinloy platform of tho gold standard. Tho parly managors, lod by Senator Hill, havo refrain ed from tho controversy thus in vited. Thoy know that tho Democratic masses will choose Democratic delegates who under stand and respect party usages, party laws, and party discipline. When tho convention, assembles, there need bo no fear that it will fall short, either in tho character or tho enthusiasm of its Demo cracy. National Democratic Con ventions aro tho highest authority in tho announcement pf national Democratic policies. Tho July convention at Chicago was regu larly constituted, and no man can bo found to dispute its legiti macy or tho regularity of its pro ceedings. Had ovory contested seat been givon to tho minority, the present piatfarm would still have been adopted by a tremend ous majority. Mr. Bryan re ceived moro than two-thirds of all tho votes in tho convention. Whoever opposes Mr. Bryan's olection is no longer a Democrat. Tho Democratic stato invention of New York will declare in favor of his olection, and tho ablest Democratic leaders in tho state, headed by David B. Hill, will everywhere uphold tho Demo cartic cause and tho Democratic candidates. Tho Democrat feath- or-heads, who never voto any Democratic ticket, havo already joined tho third party movement, which will bq cngineorod by J. Sterling Morton and James n. Eckels. Tho Wall street Demo crats who aro so free with their advico that Bryan bo defeated, aro already supporting Mr. Mc Kinloy and contributing money to his election. Democrats there aro in Now York who have al ways been faithful to tho party, and who will now faithfully sup port Bryan and Sowall, who do not agree with the majority in tho Chicago convention on tho question of tho free coinage of silver. Such men submit to the Will of tho majority, always ro serving too right of private judgment as to tho wisdon of the action of that majority, and free at another time to advocate a re versal of that decision. Thoy will not claim tho right to antago nize that decision in the present campaign. There will bo no nonsense in tho Now York ttato convention. We boliovo that tho great body of tho voters of that stato will enthusiastically sup port tho platform announced at Chicago as well as tho candidates there dominated, and that thoir voices will bo hoard in unmis takable toyos at tho Buffalo con vention. "'Present indications, both in tho city and in the inter ior, point to mnjority in the Empiro Stato for Domocratic olectors plodgod to Bryan and Sowall. The Populjst Convention Auspiciously and soronoly be neath a sky unmoltled by a single cloud, tho representatives of tho Pcoplo's Independent party of the big sixth district convened in del egate convention in Crawford, one pno of tho most picturesquely sit uated and beautiful little cities in tho stato and nominated their can didate, declared thoir principles and nailed them to tho mast head. Tho convention was hold in tlje largo and spacious opera house which was gorgeously decorated with flags, buntings and appropri ate mottoes. Ovor tho center of tho stago was a largo portrait of Hon. W. J. Bryan and to either side woro thoso of Washington, tho father of our country, nnd Abra ham Lincoln, tho emancipator of the colored race. Tho convention was called to opdor at 2 o'clock by Chairman Stockholm and prayer was offered by Rev. Glassncr of tho M. E. church of Crawford. Tho call was then read by sccrotary A. M. Clark after which E. C. Sheldon nominat ed Senator Darner for temporary chairman. There wos no othor nomination and ho was elected, Ho very soon appointed tho var ious committees. The coramitteo on organization reported in favor of of making temporary organiza tion permanent which was agreed. After this while tho resolutions committee wore deliberating, the committeemen from tho different counties woro selected. Mr. A. S. Reed of Alliance boing selected from Box Butte county. Tho committco on resolutions reported. Tho resolutions as adopted endorse the wiso and eco nomic administration, of Gov. IIol- comb and commended tho couvso of Senator Allen; declared for sil ver at the ratio of 10 to 1 and a liberal pension policy to old sol diers and favored a law that woujd permit any honorably discharged veteran a pension. A roll of tho counties brought out as'caudidatcs Judge W.L. Green, H. G. Stewart I. N. Hurbaugh. Judge Mutz, E. 1 Heath, T. F. Gaunt, Senators Darner and4Tthodes. After twenty sov an ballots and at 11:45 p.m., Judge W. L. Green of Kearney re ceived the necessary number of votes to nominate him and ho was declared the unanimous ohoico of the convention amid great enthu siasm. Judge Green is well known to many of UiqHedald readers. He is an ablo and eloquent speak er and there is no question but what ho will bo our next congress man. There woro 38 old soldiers in tho hall. It looks as if thoy in tended to voto as they shot. The music by tho Alliance Art isan band was pronounced by all as excellent. Tho citizens of Craw ford deserve great praise for the kind and courtoous manner in which thoy entertained tho visitors and tho Herald in behalf of tho Box Butte delegation extends her thanks.

In the IJoljr Land. Tim present condition of the various Jewish colonies established In the holy land through tho bpnevolence of soclo- jtlea and private Individuals belonging to tho Jewish faith In Europe Is de scribed In the last report of the BrltlBh consul at Jerusalem, says tho London Times. It nppearB that, although not altogether self-supporting, they are In creasing In size, aro ably managed and give occupation to numerous Jewish Im migrant families who would otherwise bo destitute. Tho apparent disinclin ation of the race to adopt agrlculturo has hitherto been a hindrance tp tho establishment and extension of theso colonies unless encouraged by external support, but Mr. DIckman thinks that time and proper training will do much to removo this Inherent prejudice. The work Is carried out In these colonies lu accordance with the latest improve ments adopted in Europe, so that they have become model farms to tho sur rounding peasantry, and will no doubt In course of years produco a beneficial effect on the rural population of Pales tine. Rlch-on-le-Sion, which Is the largest colony In Palestine, is occupied almost exclusively with.the cultlvatl6n of tho vino and tho making of wlno. Large wine vaults havo lately been In troduced, and are being cultivated In the colony. Tho wine made is of very fair quality, but a BtiperJor quality will bo produced as more attention la do voted to Its manufacture. A steam fac tory for making casks, for driving ma chinery for irrigation and for the man ufacture of lco and of glass bottled is now in working order in connection with tho manufacture of wine. In tho othor colonies, such as Ekron and Pe-tah-Tekwah, more attention Is given to the cultivation of fruit trees of various kinds and tho growing of crops, and large tracts of land which were former ly either marshes or wasto have been roclaimed and are now productive. A fair training In agriculture is afforded to Jewish youths by tho agricultural schools near Jaffa, called Mlkweh Israel, wlioro a considerable number of pupils aro boarded free of expense and aro Instructed In all tho elementary branches of education. Farther north, on tho slopes of Carmel, in an elevated and healthy location, tho large Jewish colony of Zammarin Is located. Of late years it has became populous and flourishing, and provides a means of livelihood to many of the Jews who havo sottled In tho vicinity of Safed and Tiberias. Other Jewish colonies havo been established in Palestine, but those here mentioned have been tho most sue ccssful. , CHESS ON TRAINS. A Simple and Convenient Little Contrl vanco for tho Game. Chess is tho latest game the com muter hns levied upon to beguile the hours spent upon the train morning and evening, which he tells his frienda aro but flfteen-minuto trips, says tho. Now York Journal. At first glance it would appear that a chessboard and chessmen would he difficult to manipulate aboard even sq 6lowIy moving trains aa the averags commutation vehicles. But Yankeo in genuity has brought out a simple and convenient little contrivance that docs away with the necessity for a double seat. Two peoplo may sit Bide by side and play without attracting any more attention than if reading a boolt. Tho commuter's chessboard when folded looks like a thin sinmorandum book about six Inches lonn nd three inches wide. It may be msilj carried in the pocket. It consists t,I one stiff paste board side covered with thin Russia leather and a leather flap which when opened discloses a miniature chess board, marked out with strips of thin leather so eewed as to leavo silts over each Equare. Tho strips across both top and bottom serve to hold the men whon not in use or when removed in play. The chessmen aro flat strips of cellu loid about half an inch long and one fourth of an inch wide. Thpi cellu loid strips fit into tho silts abovo the squares and aro easily moved. Tha board is held upright in tho hand, bo that both players may study It. Finds tn Athens. Tho work of restoring tho Stadion In marble has been resumed, and the tem porary seats constructed for tha Olympic games are being removed. It appears that M. Averoff is prepared to furnish the large sum requisite for completo restoration. Tho arena will be exca vated, and It Is expected that many val uable remnants of tho undent structure will be brought to light Tho excava tions which are being carried out In Melos by tho British School of Archae ology have resulted In somo interesting discoveries. Amonf theso are a drafted life-size statue of a priest of Dionysus, of which the head and left hand aro missing, and the colossal statue, per haps of Apollo, of which the head and limbs aro missing, but a portion of the right leg and foot has been recov ered. Four draped torsos of the Roman period have also beon found, one prob ably being the statue of Agrlppina. A Roman mosaic floor has been laid bare, and Romu thirty inscriptions have been discovered, most of them being in the peculiar Mellan character. Carre-, epondenco of tho Boston Times.
