by correspondence before the othdr great
industrial organizations, and with their
concurrence let a convention be called to
compare views and adopt as rational
platform a concise set of principles which
can be cordially supported by all. Pub
lish them to the world; disseminate them
and prepare for the great struggle in 1892"
Powers thought the subjects on which
those principles We're founded were
included in the following list: Money
reform, ballot reform and the suppress
sion OF any vice tolerated by law to
imperil our national prosperity.
Powers dwelt ct length on the money
question, and advocated the loaning of
money by the Government to the work
ing people without interest. If money is
thus furnished by the Government, its
boarding will soon be stopped, and all
the money will soon be in circulation.
He urged that the Government should
take the railroads into their own hands,
and furnish service for the people
which the corporations have failed to do.
This could be brought about either by
purchase or confiscation.
Land reform was only lightly touched
upon. Powers advocated taking the
right of franchise from the ignorant and
vicious and giving it to women.
In conclusion, Powers said: "There
was a time when the corporation and
moneyed oligarchies looked upon as with
contempt. That condition is changed.
The enemy is already marshaled for bat
tie. We must conquer, or suffer igno-
minious defeat"
At the afternoon session o resolution by
a delegate from Illinois, expressing the

adopted and telegraphed to Springfield.
A resolution to send similar telegram
to Kansas urging Pfeffer's election was
lost, after delegate from Kansas had de-
nounced him as no friend of the farmers,
although the editor of farm paper.
National Lecturer Ashby read a report
showing the order in f1ourishing condi-
ton, five new States having organized
during the year. He urged the organiza-
ton to keep out of politics.
An effort will be made to form CO.
operative union, and conference will be

REAL ESTATE swINDLE.
Two Prominent Men of Chicago Under
Arrest,

CHICAGO, Jan. &c. Perry Byan,
widely known in Grand Army circles as
the youngest soldier of the Rebellion"
and Henry Hart, formerly Board of
Trade man, are under arrest, charged
with real estate swindle. 1t is asserted
that they paid a small sum on large
tract of land south of this city, and ad.
vertised lots for sale in exchange for
grocery stores, saloons, etc. AS soon as
the deed of the property was made over to
them they would mortgage it and let the
business run itself. 1t is needless to say
that the deeds they gave for real estate
were valueless. 1t is asserted that they
have netted $4,000 from many victims
The exposure came about through a
widow named Graves, who followed Byan
from st. Paul a few months ago, under
promise of marriage. When she learned
that he already had wife and children
she exposed the scheme to the police.

BIRMINGHAM (Ala.), Jan. GA big

The latter seems to be tho principal in

insignificant compared with the strength
of the cables. He calculates the snow on

SO slight that it is not noticeable.
