WHAT PRESIDENT POLK SAYS

Colonel l.. L. Polk, President of the
National Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union, was interviewed by the
Reform Press Bureau this week on the
Peoples Party. When asked for his
opinion of the movement, he remarked:
"Of course /, in common with every
intelligent citizen of this country, have
my views as to that conference and its
action; but if l give any expression to
them at all it must be understood that
l speaki in my capacity as an Individual,
and that / do not speak for the Alliance
or any member of it."
"But it was published and it is now
reported in the partisan press that you
did write aletter to the Cincinneti con-
ference in your official capacity in
which you express strong opposition to
the third party movement"

it is that regions of the Southwest with

sectional issues and the earnest discus
sion of truly national issues. Tie war

convention was national in the highest
sense of the word. 1t is true the South
east was not there. This fact is all the
more significant. The Southeast did
not need to be there. The Farmers
Alliance has swallowed the South. The
Democratic party has not absorbed
the Alliance. The Alliance has swal-
lowed, digested and assimilated the
Democracy of the South. Names are

Kenny, the spectators and justices ris-
ing during the ceremony, Judge Brown

cred bible of the court in his right
hand, repeated in firm, clear,
decisive voice the usual judicial oath.
He then walked around back Of the
court to his chair on the left of Justice
Lamar, who greeted him with out
stretched hand, the new justice return
ing the very cordial salutation of
his colleague with bow and pleasant
smile The court bowed to the specta-
tors who resumed their seats and the
usual business was proceeded wita,
Justice Blatchford reading an opinion in
patent suit.
Chief Justice Fuller, in the course of
thus routine business TOOK the adVan-
tage of an opportunity his duty af-

In announcing the courts de-
cision the chief justice de-
parting a little from custom, said
eve concur in the views expressed by
Judge Brown on disposing of this case
in the circuit court, and the judgment
is affirmed"

GETTING BACK AT GOULD.
Omaha Takes Steps tn Repudiate Its
S15O,OOO Union Pacific Bonds.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 31.-Temporary in
junction has been granted on petit
ton of Ernest Stuhl, of Omaha,
to prevent $4,000 in bonds
voted by the city to aid the
Union Pacific in the construction of a
union depot here, from being turned
over to that company The injunction
is based on the ground that the Union
Pacific should all roads access to
the depot on reasonable terms
and that it now shows plain disposition
to violate this contract. The injunction
is the result of trouble with the Milwau-
kee and Rock Island roads. The
final hearing is set for January 5.
After the injunction had been
served on the Union Pacific officials,
the st. Paul made an attempt to bring
in their fast mail train over the
Union Pacific tracks, but the latter
blocked the way with an engine and
refused to obey the order of tbs
court. The st. Paul officials arc deter
mined to force the fight and will ask the
court to enforce its Injunction, granted
Yesterday.
