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.

JEWISH COLON1E3.
rrotperom Coiiilltinii of the Kettleqaeata
fcouurioi! 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-,
