Tnrersoll on California,

In recent magazine article, Mr.. Err
nest Ingersoll, the noted writer, says:
The climate of southern California in
winter closely resembles that of Egypt. ITS
equability is constant, and its dryness is
proverbial. The only complaint made is,
that it is too nearly perfect. Residents bred
in the eastern states confess now and then
that rousing storm would give them
grateful sensation. But this sentiments
meets with no favor from the man who has
just fed from superAuity of wetness and
chilling gales. To him perpetual summer
seems perpetual paradise, and TO the invalid
dreading the advance of disease the still
and arid atmosphere is as the breath of life.
The most comfortable way to reach the
Pacific coast is via Santa Fe Route.

PROPOSED PLATFORM.
Continued next week.

To the Editor of The ADVOCATE.
In view Of the fact that many are now
trying their hands at formulating plat
forms for the great fight Of '92, and the
further fact that / have been often re-
quested by letter to define my position
on this, that and the other issue, l hereby
forward you draft of a platform upon
which believe a union of ali the forces
Of industry and production may be
united. Yours fraternally,
GEO. G. WARD
The following Is the platform:
(a.) The right to make and issue
money Is sovereign power to be main
tanned by the people for the common
benefit; hence We demand the abolition
Of the national banks, and as a substitute
for national bank notes we demand that
legal tender treasury notes be issued In
such volume as may be demanded, not to
exceed the present assessed value of Inn
proved, productive real estate, such notes
to be legal tender in payment of all
debts, public and private, and such
notes, when demanded by the people to
be issued to them at a rate of tax not to
exceed 2 per cent. per annum, upon i'm
proved, productive real estate, in sums
not to exceed the present assessed value
Of such real estate.
(b). We further demand the establish.
ment Of United States postal banks in the
cities and principal towns, which said
banks shall be banks of deposit, ex-
change and discount, and loan money at
2per cent. interest upon personal secur-
ltY and upon storage receipts for nom
perishable products, issued from bonded
warehouses and elevators by state in
spectors.
(c). We further demand that the treas
uEy notes heretofore specified shall be-

mittee On credentlals Is as follows:


Your committee has considered the por-
tions of our original report reeommitted to
us by your order, and beg leave to report
that Brother ]. K. P. Hanna, Of Texas, and
Brother Whited, of Louisiana, appear be-
fore us on behalf of their respective states.
They expressed desire and purpose in
good faith TO have supplemental report in
lieu of final report already forwarded
from these State Alliances to the National
Alliance, and obligated themselves to see
that such supplementary report, accompan-
led by dues sufficient to cover their claims
TO additional representation upon this plan,
be forwarded to the national secretary be-
fore February 1, next. Your committee
therefore cheerully recommends the seating
of the said additional delegates present and
claiming seats. Your committee feels that
justice to themselves and their original re-
port necessltates the statement that had
these brethren appeared before this COM
mittee in the first instance backing their
claims with representations and obligations
offered today, the seating of their whole
delegation would be recommended in our
original report.
Moved, that we appoint FIVE tellerS to
assist'in carrying on the election of Off
GERS. Carried, and following committee
appointed: Wardall, Householder, Bever-
lev, Stokes and Dimes.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

ber of judiciary committee for term Of

Moved by Page, Of Virginia, that we
suspend the election Of officers until to
morrow morning, so as to allow this body
to visit Farmers Mutual Benefit Associa-
tion. Carried and House adjourned at

A Great Railroad,

BY the absorption of the Chicago 6
Atlantic Railway between Marion and
Chicago, the Erie has at last effected Its
entrance into Chicago, and now occupies
the proud position Of being the only line
between Chicago and New York en-
tirely under one management.
One result Of this is the arrangement
whereby all the through trains OF the
Erie are now run solid between Chicago
and New York without change. Pas
sengers holding thro Ugh tickets, whether
first or second class, are able to 20 from
Chicago to New York without changing
cars.
Pullman's most modern sleeping cars
are run on all through trains via this
line, and on their vestIbule limited, Pull
mans dining cars. No extra fare charged
on this train. In fact, the rates via the
Erie, are lower than via any other route
Offering equal facilities.

tentiariee, and employ their convicts
therein In industries requiring the least
machinery; the goods manufactured to
be sold at the regular market price. We
recommend that the profits accrulng
from each conviCt's labor be disposed Of,
first, by being given to the convlct's de.
pendent relatlves,to the end that innocent
women and children may not be reduced
to poverty and crime through actions for
which they were In no wise reponsible;
second, If no dependent relatives exist, to
be held in trust for the convict at the ex-
plratiOn of his term Of imprisonment.
1S. We deny that any corporation has
the right to hire, or keep for hire, armed
men to perform lawless deeds in pre-
tended support of the law of which they
are not officers. We demand the passage
of laws that will make 1t the sole function
and prerogative of the legal officers Of
the various cities, counties and states to
enforce the laws and protect property.
IA. We demand such legislation as
shall give the trade marks and labels of
organized labor the same protection now
given to all kinds Of private trade marks,
labels and titles, and that adequate PEN
alties be imposed for any forgery Of, or
infringement upon the same.
Is. We favor the government owner
ship of all means Of transportation and
communication; and, in general, when In
the course of business consultations in
the form of trusts or private syndicates,
1t becomes evident that any branch Of
commerce is used for the profit of few
men at the expense Of the general public,
we believe that the people should as
sumo control Of such commerce through
their national, state and municipal ad-
We therefore favor mu-
nicipal ownership and management by
the people, of the franchises now univer-
sally held by corporations for the opera
tion Of water aLd gas works, electric
lighting, street car lines, telegraph and
telephone service, and the opening by
cities or towns of public coal yards to
furnish coal and fuel as cost.
We oppose the granting Of municipal
franchises to private corporations for
terms of years, and we demand fran
chise tax upon corporations.
