MELVILLE.
The swiIl Iroubles.


The difficulties attending the collection
of swill in Johnston are further complica-
ted by the refusal of Thomas Hanley to
Ions ger make collection of the garbage
under The orders of the board OF health,
inasmuch as the town council has no
funds to pay for the labor, and his bill
for work already performed has not been
ordered paid.
1t is probable the poor department will
soon have to undertake the proper col
lection Of the swill as it did previously
to the passage of the councils inopera-
tive ordinances.

SYNOPSIS OF THE PLATFORM.
A General "Free" Recommendation of
Nearly Everything.

OMAHA, July 3. The sub-com.
mlttee on resolutions ofthe peo-
pies Cparty late last night re-
ported the following as the platform.
1t will be reported Monday: We de-
mand free and unlimited coinage of
silver and gold at the present legal rate
OF sixteen to one.
We demand that the amount of cir
culating medium be speedily increased
to not less than $50 per capita.
We demand q graduate income tax.
We believe that the money of the
country should be ke kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people. and
hence we demand that all state and
national revenue shail be limited to
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment economically and honestly ad-
ministered.
We demand that postal savings banks
be established by the government for
the safe deposit Uf the earnings of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
On the force bill resolution was
adopted providing for purity of cleo
tons, but declaring against federal In.
reference. 1t will read:
Resolved, That we are in favor of
a free ballot and q fair count in all
elections, and we pledge ourselves to
secure it to every legal voter through
the intervention of The states by means
of the Australian or secret ballot sys-
tem.:
The following plank on land was
adopted:
1.-The land including all the natural
resources of wealth 10 the heritage OF
all the people and should not be II o.
nopolIzed for speculative purposes, and
alien ownership OF land should be pro-
hipIted. All land now held by railroads
and other corporations in excess OF
their actual needs, and all lands now
owned by aliens should be reclaimed
by the government and held Cor actual
esttIers onlv."
The transportation planks will be as
follows:
Transportation being . means
of exchange and public
necessity the government should own
and operate the railroads in the inter
est OF the people. The telegraph and
telephones, like the postoffice system,
being a necessity for the transmission
of news, should bs owned and operated
by the government in the interest OF
the people.
1T congress shall determine the
Nicaragua canal or any other national
waterway necessary, the same should
be constructed. owned and operated by
the government. and we oppose any
subsidy or national aid To any private
corporation for any purpose"

OF Loyalty to Republican Principles
Brilliant Speeches.

DETROIT. July 3.-The republicans of
Detroit last evening made q magnifi.
cent demonstration of their loyalty to
republican principles and of their en-
thusiastic Endorsement of the work of
the Minneapolis convention. In the
midst of driving storm they turned
out and packed the Detroit Opera
house to over6owIng and tnen they ap-
plauded to the echp the splendid utter

FREE SILVER TO BE DEFEATED. }.
1t Is Expected That the House Win
Throttle 1t.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-The unex.
pected massage OF tue free silver bill
last Friday and the consequent excite
ment that this action OF the senate has
caused in congressional circles has
had the effect of materially
changing the drift of sentiment
concerning final adjournment. Those
VINO were certain congress would ad-
journ by the 10th of July are not SO
sanguine now, and the advocates of
free coinage are outspoken IN
their determination To hold both
houses In session until that
measure has been disposed OF
The interest in this important bill
centers of course IN the house, and the
general expressions of opinions it
would seem is that the bill will be de-
teated in the house. The bill will be
reported to the mouse this week and
referred to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. There Is no
doubt that the committee largely conn.,
posed of tree coinage men will recon-
mend the bill. The bill on being re-
ported will be placed at the foot OF the
calendar aud could not be reached by the
end III the session, but there are two
ways of bringing it 10 q vote IN the
house. One of tnese-an almost hope
less pian-is to have it paesed under
suspension OF the rules. This requires
q Iwo-th.rds -ote and the advocates
of the bills, IN their widest
moment o. prophecy have not pro-
phesled that the bill had friends enough
TO accomplish this. The free coinage
men. therefore, base all their hopes on
the committee on rules, which will be
lmportuned to report special order
setting apart time for the
consideration of the measure. The ap.
preparations committee is nearly ready
10 report the sundry civiI bill. II Is ex-
pectsd that the conference report on
the river and harbor bill will be
adopted without debate. The
senate will also do some rapid
work with bills on the calendar,
and Mr.. Vest may cndeavor to have
vote on his resolutions directing the
finance committee to report the tree
wool bill 10 the senate without delay.
The proer I'M for business in the house
is very lnuefinite, SO much depending Oh
the silver bill. Thursday will probably Q
suspensiol uay IN iIcu Ot tomorrow,
when neither house will be in session,
aud 1t Is possible that an effort Will be
made by the democrats to pass the free
TIN plate bill under suspension Of the
rules. The bill will probably be SUBJ
iected TO some further debate on Tues
day and Wednesday If it is decided TO
make the attempt for its passage.
