The city boy who is the hero of our new serial story In tbe Sjeart of Ok Bills Reverses ilie usual order and sees to the hills of New Hampshire to make his fortune in a country store. You will find the story of his experiences very interesting. You may Read it in this Paper.

The Republican party will op* . >cse the admission of any new .Vestern States. Linn, Populist Candidate for overnor of Minnesota, run 0,000 ahead of Bryan. The Caucasian, published at laleigh, N. C., is reported to be a the hands of the sheriff. “The Silver Knight” has aneunced Don Cameron as its residential candidate for 1900. The Alabama Senate has •rssed a bill permitting women o practice law in that state. It as hotly contested. Master Workman Sovereign was re-elected to his position of honor and trust at the recent meeting of the Knights of Labor. Official returns from South Dakota show Bryan electors by 191 majority. The Populists elected Governor and Congressmen. The National Grange which recently held a ten days session at Washington, recommended seveD amendments to the Interstate Commerce Law. The Washington Legislative Assembly will be made up of one Republican and fifteen Populist Senators: thirteen Republican and sixty-two Populist Representatives. An extra session of Congress is now an assured fact and it is given out from Canton that no financial legislation will be considered. The tariff is to have right of way. The Dingley Bill will not be again brought up.

The bankers, laboring under the delusion that they are the government, have been conferring as to what bad best be done with the greenbacks. The majority favor their retirement. The Rossville, Ind., Journal suggests an immediate meeting of the National Chairmen of the People’s, Democratic, and Silver Parties to arrange for a call on the most liberal terms for a conference to decide on future cooperation. Woman Suffrage was defeated by 15,000 majority in California. An editor out there says: “Many of the men who voted ‘No’ on that question .did not know enough to scratch out the rest of the ballots.” Suffrage was carried in Idaho. President Cleveland is at work on his Annual message. Prominent features of that document are announced to be, the Ven. ezuela Question, recommendation of the retirement of the Greenbacks and Sherman notes, and the issuing of long term bonds. The lowa Homestead, an agricultural paper, discloses offers made to its management from republican headquarters, during the recent campaign. This paper was one of a large number that received similar offers. Some accepted and became advocates of “sound money.” Senator Allen of Nebraska, is in the Indian Territory investigating the troubles between the half-breed andfuil blood Osages. Charges against Freeman, the Indian Agent were preferred in the Interior Department but he was exonerated. The matter was afterward carried to the Senate. George Pullman has reduced all the wages of his employes fifteen per cent. Many men employed at the great car works have been living in other towns where rents are lower but all workman will be required in future to reside in Pullman and pay rent designated.

The treasurer of the Republican National Committee reports a surplus of $85,000 which is to be used to establish permanent headquarters. Steps are also being taken to make the Republican National Committee a permanent body and plans for more complete and minute organization than has yet been possible is assured. Congressman Howard, of Alabama, according to press telegrams, has announced his intention of supporting any and all high tariff measures. Jerry Simson is out with a similar declaration. The reason assigned by both is that the evils of the Gold basis can be best demonstrated by combining it with high tariff. Mark Hanna, not being able to buy the power to be in two places at once, is trying to decide whether to be Senator or Secretary of the Treasury. It is understood that if Mr. Hanna decides in favor of the Senate, John Sherman will be placed in the Cabinet, creating a vac- 1 ancy that can be filled by McKinley’s manager. The Board of Trade of Indianapolis has issued a call to similar bodies, in all the large cities of the Mississippi Valley and lake region, for a meeting of three delegates from each city»to consider calling a larger conference to appoint a commission to which shall be assigned the duty of formulating a plan for the reformation of the currency. Governor-elect Rodgers,- of Washington has issued an address urging that the union of

Reform forces that has recently triumphed there, be perpetuated without regard to name or minor difference. He further requests that all applicants for any position in the gift of the Governor be indorsed by Populist’s, Democrats, and Free Silver Republicans in the county of applicant’s residence. It has developed that there was one spot that took no note of the recent political turmoil. Had this been known sooner, doubtless its population would have been greatly increased by an influx of refugees from the clamor of a presidential election. This unique spot is Charlton county, Georgia. It is composed largely of the Okefeenokee swamp. The Secretary of State has so far been unable to learn of any election being held there. A careful scrutiny of the large number of papers received at this office, justifies the state ment that the People’s Party press has not only taken a new lease on life but is being conducted with a heartiness and vigor that speaks but little comfort to the enemy. They seem to have taken up the campaign of education the presidential canvass had interrupted and are again discussing the several reforms that the party had heretofore demanded. A peculiarly hopeful tone is noticeable; notable exceptions, being a few “Middle-of-the-road” sheets that are dividing their time between discussing who was to blame for the Bryan defeat and saying “I told you so.” A number of papers are being reorganized with good strong stock companies to back them.

W. J. Bryan spoke at Denver, Colorado, Tuesday, Nov. 24th. His entire trip has been an ovation. He will, on his return to Lincoln, devote himself, for the next six weeks, to literary work. He will then go on a lecture tour. During his stay in Taney County, Missouri, Mr. Bryan showed himself a good shot, and he is reported by other members of the hunting party a* “able to out walk aud to out eat the whole crowd. At Springfield, Missouri, a genial commercial traveler, whose resemblance to Bryan is marked, happening to be at the hotel when it was crowded with people eager to see the defeated presidential candidate, stationed himself at the opposite end of a long hall from tyhere Mr. Bryan stood and proceeded to shake hands with the crowd to their entire satisfaction and the great amusement of a few friends who were aware of the joke.

It is now demonstrated that the educational work accomplished by the People’s Party has so far affected the people of the United States that the comparatively insignificant number of 25,000 votes, properly distributed in the last election, would have resulted in crystalizing our cherished ideas into law*. This significant fact emphasises the importance of continuing the grand and patriotic work of education without cessation, and for the purpose of deciding upon an organized campaign of education to be pushed vigorously till the next election it is thought necessary that a call be issued for a conference of the populists to meet at Indianapolis, Tuesday, Dec. 29th, 1896, at 10 a. m.. in room 35, English Hotel. All Silver Republicans and all other Money Reformers are earnestly requested to participate in the conference. Members of the People’s Party state central committee and members of the executive committee are hereby called to meet on the same day in room 35, of said Hotel. Important business. Julius Rosenheiner, Chairman. All reform papers please copy.

Call for Conference.

TELLER AND HIS LIKE.

Mmi Who In m Great C rials Stood Forth •a Patriot# and Not aa Partisans. Henry M. Teller has won far himself a place in history. In a great crisis he stood forth as a patriot It is no easy matter to sever the political ties of a lifetime; it is no easy matter to stand before a hostile and angry crowd and preach a gospel which they reject, but Senator Teller had the courage to do it Some shouted “renegade, ” some called him a “bolter,” and hundreds hissed their venom at him, but the voice of his conscience rose above the din of the multitude, drowning out all other sounds, and that conscience called hi™ “patriot ” He was present at the birth of the Republican party, he espoused the cause for which it stood and brought to its support all the energy of a strong and vigorous mind, ail the zeal of a warm and generous heart Years ago he noted with apprehension the growing influence of the capitalistic classes in the party’s councils, but his love for the party was bo deep that his hope overcame his fears. But when the convention at St Louis bowed to the will of Wall street and under the threat of a withdrawal of campaign contributions accepted a platform written by the money changers, he was left no choice, and abandonment of the party became a duty. Issues make parties. The money question is now the paramount issue, and voters most make their party associations fit their convictions. The example of Senator Teller is taken for the sake of illustration. He is conspicuous because of his great ability and high official position, and yet all who imitate him are deserving of like praise. Dubois, Cannon, Hartman and all the others who followed Teller out of the convention have practiced the same virtues and given evidence of the same moral courage. Congressman Towne, who, though not a delegate, was present and participated in all their plans, is worthy to stand by the side of Teller. His state conventions, both Democratic and Republican, declared for gold, abd yet his convictions are so deep that he is willing to stand by them, even though it may mean political death to him. Disintegration has begun, and it can have but one result. The west and south, the great wealth producing sections of the country, will dominate the government and restore equality in legislation.—Omaha World-Herald.

HER GREAT DISCOVERY.

The Into resting Observation of a Woman Regarding the President Elect. Who but “the sex” would imagine that we have got for ourselves a “bargain counter” president? It was at a Brooklyn tea. The ladies were discussing politics and back breadths, husbands’ foibles aud gossip, all in that delightfully inconsequential way that makes up so large & part of woman’s charms. She was an old lady, who had transplanted herself from the barren wastes and rooky coasts of Maine to the sunnier clime and the effulgence of a fuller life in South Brooklyn. To any one who knows the transplanted New Englander it is unnecessary to say she had brought all her New England thrift with her. She sat up in her straight backed way—it was at the close of a long argument on the good and the ill that would result from the outcome of the last eleotion—pushed back a pretty white curl from the edge of her forehead and said as. she set her teacup sharply down on the little table: “Well, ladies, I thank the Lord that McKinley’s elected. He’s got an invalid wife, and he can’t do much entertainin, and that’ll be an awful savin to the nation.” There will be other things than mere politios to reckon with if women ever do come into the game.—New York Journal.

A PARTRIDGE KING.

A Minnesota Man Whose Methods May Make the Birds Become Extinct. Special Agent Gray of the. general land department, who has returned from a trip to the Canadian boundary, reports running aoross an eocentrio character 20 miles north of Tower, Minn., who is known as the partridge king. His name is Stephen Gheen, and he is a trader. Gheen as a side,issue contracts to furnish partridges in enormous numbera He recently completed a contract of furnishing 5,000 birds, has practically filled another similar one, and is now at work on another for 8,000 birds which was taken by a would be rival, but who found that Gheen had organized all the Indians and half breeds in the region. The birds are sold ostensibly to Twin City parties, but it is believed that this b said merely to evade the state law which prohibits partridges from being shipped out of the state. It is suspected that Chicago houses are the real purchasers. The Indians employed by Gheen make it a practice to kill male birdß,' and as a result it is feared that one* or two seasons of the king’s reign will devastate the northern wilds of the favorite feathered game. On the Canadian boundary partridges are not much of a luxury. Dressed birds sell there for 6 cents eaoh.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

She Sat For Victoria’s Figure.

There is an old lady lying in the Pennsylvania hospital with a broken leg who once sat for the figure of a life size painting of Qneen Victoria. She is Miss Blanche Sully, and her father was Thomas Sully, in his time a famons painter of portraits. In 1887 he went to England with a commission from the St. George society to paint the portrait of young Queen Victoria. He took his daughter with him, and as she was very nearly of the same statare as the qneen she ,sat for the figure in her father’s pio j tore of Victoria, thus saving the latter the annoyance of long sittings. During the sittings Miss Sully became quite intimate with her majesty and brought back with her to this country many delightful memories of her royal friend.— Philadelphia Record.

RECIPROCITY.

Mexico Swapping Her Oranges For Oar Corn. The shortage in the crop of American oranges this year has opened up an opportunity to the orange growers of Mexico, who will send us supplies of that fruit The shortage in the corn crop of Mexico this year has been met by the corn raisers of this country, who have already shipped large quantities of that grain to the republic which lies next to ours. In these exchanges there is a beautiful illustration of the operation of a principle advantageous to both countries. The yield of manges in Florida, Louisiana and California has been inadequate, and so Mexico offers ns hundreds of carloads of them. The yield of corn in tbe Mexican states of Guanajuato, Aguas Calientes and Vera Crux has been inadequate, and so the United States stands ready to furnish them as much of it as they need. Load tbe ships with American corn for the Mexicans I Load the railroad oars with Mexican oranges for tbe Americans 1 It is a pleasing spectacle. On Wednesday we copied from the New Orleans Times-Democrat an interview with Mr. Joseph Ball, a New Orleans orange dealer, who said: “Mexico will furnish about 650 oarloads of oranges, 800 boxes in each oar, nearly its entire surplus crop. They are juicy and good oranges. ” All right; we need them. The exportation of American corn from Mobile and other southern ports to Tampico and Vera Crus began about a month ago, and since that time more than 8,000,000 bushels have been shipped from Mobile alone. The Mexican government had temporarily remitted the onstoms duty upon corn importations and had made provisions for tbe sale of tbe grain at a very cheap prioe. That was shrewdness.—New York Sun.

DIRECT PROOF.

Chicago Must Be the El Dorado of Doparted Americans. Any one who has doubts about reinoarnation should take a look at the Chicago city directory. It may surprise the general' public to learn that Richard Wagner, who died several years ago in Baireuth, is still doing business in this city as a lawyer, a painter, a clerk and a laborer. Sir Francis Bacon, who is said to have written Mr. Shakespeare’s plays, is. now employed by the Illinois Central road as an architect, while Shakespeare himself is running a restaurant on South Halsted street. Ulysses S. Grant is now engaged in ringing up railway nickels here, while Garfield .is making harnesses for a living. Tennyson is now managing a feed store on the West Side. On the South Side he is a olerk, a cabinet maker, a laborer, » lather and a finisher. Dante, the infefno man, is now in the plastering business on North Rockwell street. William Cullen Bryant is working at the carpenter’s trade on Carroll avenue. George Washington is doing business here at nine different locations. Thomas Jefferson, who fathered the Democratic party, which seems to have got lost this year, is a house painter on the North Side. Andrew Jackson has taken to preaching, to bookkeeping and to driving a cab, while Robert E. Lee is a porter in a hotel and also attends the Chicago university. It may be a matter of contemporary interest also to note that William J. Bryan is running a grocery on Cottage Grove avenue, while William McKinley is clerking in the Rookery building, runs an engine at 44 Crosby street and lives at 19 Scott street.—Frank S. Pixley in Chicago Times-Herald.
