PEOPLES PARTY AIMS.
Sowing Seeds OF Discord Among the Farmer,
ORGANIZATION.


Organization.
A special dispatch from indianapolis says: II
is evident that the continued existence of the
farmer organizations is doubtful. The repre-
sentatives Of tine people party are sowing seeds
OF dissension with a generous hand, and as q
result of their efforts there seems now to be a
decided tendency toward third party move
ment. The alliance and the F. NJ. b. A. are not
internally harmonious, and while there is, in
general, loyalty to the great reforms aimed at,
there is want of cohesion of thought and effort.
The charges Of corruption have destroyed
confidence in the leaders and it now seems that
the meetings are likely to result disastrously to
the movement. The leaders continue to pro-
test against the schemes for forcing the ALI
ance into the peoples party. but in spite of all
they can say and do, il seems probable that the
politicians will succeed in their plotting at the
Washington meeting, if not here. They have a
large advantage in the fight in having had ex-
perience in politics.
Along with the constant harassment by the
peoples party representatives the alliance is
having trouble in defending its subtreasury
scheme. There was vigorous opposition to it
came extremely bitter. The opponents to the
and a resolution was adopted pledging I'M
swerving and unqualified fidelity to the plan as
promulgated in the Ocala platform.
The Ohio delegates were denied admission for
the reason that the per capita tax for the state
had not been paid and they say that in conse-
quence of their treatment the F. NJ. B. A. will
probably cease to exist in Ohio.

MISTAKES ABOUT POE.


Prof. warman Recites the Raven and Cor.
reefs Some Biographical Errors.
Prof. Warman. the elocutionist, interested q
large audience at the High School Hall last
night with a critical analysis of Poe's famous
poem of THE Raven" He began by reading
an apostrophe from Dickinson on THE Raven
| and entered into a short biography of the poet
in which he stated that several wrong impress
| sions about this mysterious poet and the equally
mysterious poem had remained to the present
day. mainly, he claimed, through the efforts OF
Griswold. whom he termed a reverend vampire.
Prof. Warman said that for ten years he had
been engaged in an investigation of the life of
Poe and had not left a stone unturned to I'M
earth the truth. Poe was not. he said. expelled
from West Point; was not dismissed from the
University of Virginia and did not die drunk
ard.
Prof Warman read letters which he claimed
proved these assertions. and dwelt upon a let
ter from DR.. J. J. Moran of this city, Poe s
medical attendant to the effect that Poe did
not die from the effects of alcoholism. Poe. he
said. was born in Boston in 1909 and not in
Baltimore in 1911. as is generally supposed.
great force and much ranting. The audience
listened with great interest and loudly ap-
piauded at the conclusion. The speaker, how
ever. then startled his hearers by announcing
tn'tt ne naO given an limitation OF poor rem
dition of the famous poem.
He took issue with Griswold on the statement
that Poe wrote The Raven" when suffering
from delirium tremens, and said it was prob
ably the vociferating elocutonist that Girls
void referred to- He then gave his view that
the true conception of the poem was that of an
audible reverie by the poet, and proceeded to
critically analyze every stanza of the poem.
His delivery of 1.-THE Raven" as he claimed it
should be delivered followed, and it was a
master effort. At the close he received un-
stinted applause. On Friday night Prof.
Warman will give a series of readings, recita-
tons and impersonations.

The hostile attitude of the London Times to-

was attributed yesterday by prominent Amer

from the British foreign office. The informant

it was greatly to the interest of England that
the United States should have its hands occu-

and that war with Chile would be Just the

tive clubs, and he claims to have got his in
