THE INDuRTRIAL CONFERENCR.

THE INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE.
In accordance with a resolution OF
the General Assembly Of the Knights
of Labor at its recent session at Dem
ver General Master Workman Pow
derly has issued a call for an indus
trial conference TO agree upon a plat
form upon which TO 90 before the peO-
pie in 1892. We quote the following
from his official circular as il complete
ly expresses the circumstances, causes
and objects of the postpOnement OF
the proposed convention at Cincin-
natl for the organization Of a new
party:
When the Farmers Alliance held lts COnven-
ton 90 Ocala, Florida, call for a conference 10

by many OF those who attended. That call dxed
upon Cincinnati as the place TO hold the cOnven-
ton and February %, 1891, as the date. Atan
informal conference OF the order Of Knights OF
Labor and many OF those who signed the call AZ
Ocala, II was agreed 10 postpone Che Cincinnati
conference until after the industrial conference
could meet and agree upon its platform Of prin-
Ciples
In accordance with the action Of the general
assembly by which was instructed 20 "COrres-
pond with the presidents or other chief Oflcers

This is very important matter and should Ts-
celye careful attention. Every organization

AFTER the passage Of Senator Vests

not be made TO compete. Let it be
understood that this consumption OF
the pure product in Che manufacture
OF an adulterated article renders IL
absOlutely'impOssible for the people
10 procure the pure article il they
choose TO do so, even at a greater
price than that al which adulterated
lard can be obtained. The supply is
not in the country; and the Conger
lard bill proposes that this consump-
tion of pure lard in the manufacture
OF che adulterated article shall con-
tinue simply by paying a tax TO the
government This is entirely a diff
ierent case from the oleomargarine
tax. In the manufacture OF oleomar-
garine other fats are used and the
supply Of pure butter is not dimin-
ished. Those who chooset to buy pure
butter can always obtain it. In the
case Of lard II is different. The sup
ply Of purola isnearly exhausted in
the manufacture Of the mixture.
We can readily excuse men who
have not opportunities TO read the
full text Of the several bills intro
duced into Congress, and the discus
sions which take place concerning
their merits, il they geterrOneous inn
pressions and are led to endorse OBJ
ieCtionable measures for want of cor
rect information, but a great daily
that assumes TO instruct the people
should be more reliable.
Now let us look at the Paddock
pure food bill. The memorial re-
ferred TO states the following as among
lbs provisions:
In cOmpels all food products, under heavy pen
atios, TO be irat, heRlthiul; second, plainly and
honestly branded; third, Of proper qallty or
strength; fourth, not "dOCtOred; !" ntth not cOun-
terfeiE; sixth, made from proper substance; sew
enth, free from anu adlIlierdttOn iOhdteUer.
Now be il remembered that the
OCala convention, which did pass 8
resolution condemRing the COnger
lard bill, also most heartily endorsed
the Paddock pure food bill, and the
Kansas delegation voted for both Of
these resolutions. Will the Capital
have the honesty TO place these men
right before it's readers, or will it still
persist in asserting that Kansas men
went TO OCala and we're 80 completely
hypnotized by southern Democratic
cotton planters as to vote in the In
terest of the cotton seed oil trust and
against the interest Of the Kansas
hog3 The case is a clear one, and
the opportunity is now presented for
Major Hudson TO show whether he
has yet a spark Of honesty in his Or
ganizatiOn.

THE RESULTS OF A LITTLE JUDIOIOUs
EXPENDITURE.

HAL MlNDAAUA
In the early part Of the recent cam
paiga, the Sub-Alliances Of Berlin
township, in Harper county, paid
for q three months subscription TO
The ADVOCATE for their members, and
probably for some others besides
members, from the Alliance treasury.
Here are some Of the results. There
was but one republiCon vote cast in
the township, and most Of the three
months subscribers are now on our
yearly list. We would not over-esti-
mate our own influence, nor under
estimate that OF our co-workers, but
whatever other forces we're at work
we think it may be safely claimed
that the influence Of The ADVOCATE
had something TO do with the result
in Berlin township. Go thou and do
likewise.

THE CONGER LARD BILL AND THE PAD
DOCK PURE FOOD BILL.

Cially designed Tor the protection OF
the Kansas hog, we call special at
tentiOn 10 memorial presented To
the United States Senate by Vice
President Morton, from VIM. Hall
and other citizens Of Illinois, which
appears in our report OF Congress
Sional proceedings The Kansas
delegates to the OCals convention
have been severely censured for their
vote upon this question, and the
Capital has been especially severe in
its criticisms. OF course this is TO be
expected, as it would not do for Maj.
Hudson TO recognize a pure motive
in any act of an Alliance man, though
X the same men who are now 80
bitterly condemned, would iOrsake
the Alliance and return TO the Re.
publican fold they would at once be
re-entered upon the roll Of saints
Let us look al this bill for a mo
ment with an impartial eye Its OBJ
jeCtiOnsble features are clearly set
forth in the memorial referred to.
First-It singles out one article, which IL al.
legeS ls adulterated, and provides no remedy for
the 22B other articles as GOT forth and provided
for in the Paddock bill.
We desire 10 add that IL does not
aim at prohibition OF the manufac-
ture Of adulterated lard for food pur-
poses, but simply imposes a tax upon
il, and the extent TO which this
adulteration may be carried will adj
init Of the payment Of this tax and
still leave margin Of profit at q
price far below that at which pure
lard can be sold
seCOnd-It increases the number Of revenue
officials OF the country.
This, of course, would be no OBJ
lection TO the bill in the mind of Re-
publicsns so long as they are in the
ascendency and have the appointing
power; and whenever they see this
power about TO slip from their hands,
a Senate Codifying committee can
readily recommend an abolition Of
these offices Great is reforml
Thlrd--The COnger lard bill was introduced &C
tho request Of a Boston pork packer, and is
supported by OH the pork packers OF the country,
including the Big Four It will create mOnOpO-
", and win enable tho large packers to form
lard trust
This last objection named in the
memorial furnishes a clue TO the mo-
tive that has undoubtedly enlisted
such earnest support of the bill by
the Capitol This plutOcratiC jour
nal is ever ready TO lbnd it's support
10 any measure in the interest Of
corporations and capitalists, as Op-
posed TO the interests Of the common
people; and a bill that suits the Big
Four and the great pork packers of
the country, that will enable them 10
secure a monopoly of an adulterated
food product, which they will place
in the market in competition with
pure lard, 10 just the bill chat Maj.
Hudson might be expected to en-
dorse.
Let IL be remembered that in the
manufacture of this adulterated lard,

ARRANGING A CHURCH SOcIABLE.-Do
not let few do all the work; divide TIE
labor and the responsibility, says Mrs. Ly-
man Abbott in the November 'Ladies'
Home Journal" Let those who are active
in other departments of church work find
the evening restful. Give the Sunday
school superintendent an easy chair, and
the sexton an extra plate of ice-cream.
Each woman in the congregation should
feel that it is her duty to increase the inter-
est in the success of the evening. She
should invite shy neighbor, urge sad
one, or accompany lonely one to the so
oiable and introduce her to at least one
friendly soul. speak of women: especial
", because theirs seems to be the privilege
of guiding and controlling social life gener-
ally.
Those who take the place of hosts for
the evening may find use for all the tact
and ingenuity they have. A word here, a
cordial hand.shake there, an introduction
which promises congenisl acquaintance, a
skillfully managed interruption when tete

How TO HANG A PIcTURE.-Never put a
somdre colored picture in the shade. Put
it where the light will fall upon it, says
"The Ladies' Home Journal" Between
two windows place pictures with light
back grounds that will stand out the more
prominent by reason of their dark sur
roundings. Hang the big pictures first, ID
suitable positions, and group with smaller
ones in two rows in between. Be careful
that the pictures do not conflict in color.
Use your own taste in this. 1t is impossi-
BILE to give any brief rule on the subject.
Hang the pictures on level with the eye,
unless they be, as some are, pictures which
should be looked up to. Place small pict-
ures in corners and alcoves. Over doors
place large and unimportant canvsses, any
thing that looks we'll. Water-colors may
be hung on the same wall with oils when
framed in gold, but not when framed in
white. White margins on etchings and en-
cravings don't go we'll with oils. The main
light should be on the picture.

MANNERS IN CHILDREN-If we desire
children to he courteous we must treat
them with respect, says Elisabeth Scoyil in
''The Ladies' Home Journal" They will
infallibly copy our manner; so we must
take care that they are the best. Let US be
az careful of their feelings as we wish them
to be of those of others. When it is neces-
ssry to administer reproof, let it be given
IN private. Many children are very sensi
tive on this point, and they feel acutely, al
though they cannot put their emotions in
words. To tell child in public that it has
been rude, or lacking in good breeding, is
rs unwarrantable as it would be to tell
guest SO. It is no excuse to say that We
are trying to teach it to do better; we can
do this with greater effect if We take il
aside at the first convenient moment and
gently point out where the error was and
what should be done the next time.
