In all, an able-bOdied soldier received, directly

tribute tohis support in case Of disability or to
his relatives in case of death
But the soldier suffered financial loss At

adopted precisely as stated in the letter

journals in the United States. sunmar-
ICES the case of Humanity vs. the Coal
Combine in the following remarkable
paragraph, as forceful as it is true:
Fortunately, the United States has been al.

tive type Of socialism does not flourish on our
soil. and our society," as a whole IS so demo-
cratic that as a rule, the Industrial strifes in
which organized labor occasionally engages are
less bitter and disturbing than in Europe The
month Of May has witnessed some large strikes
and lock outs in this country notably the stone
cutters difficulty but upon the whole the coun-
try has been free from serious Industrial con.

A MARES NEST.

The Soldier Resolution of the Industrial
Conference Worries the Two Plute Par
ties.
Republican journalists (?) have found
another mares nest. They have let
ter from President Polk and another
from the editor of the Advocate relative
to the soldier resolution adopted at st.
Louis These letters they are running
in parallel columns for the purpose of
showing an inconsistency upon this
question.
What is that inconsistency? Presi-
dent Polk says in his letter that the
resolution is not part of our platform.
Now let these nincompoops read the
other letter and see if they can find
where it makes any claim that it is. No
participant in the St Louis conference,
and no person anywhere who knows
anything about the matter ever claimed
that or the suffrage resolution to be a
part of the platform. The published
proceedings Of the st. Louis conference
distinctly stated that it was not. 1t
has never been published in any reform
paper in the country as a part OF the

Much Ado About Nothinr

The Capital publishes two more let
ters, one from H. E. Taubeneck and one
from Ignatius Donnelly, under big
headlines entitled: More Develop
mentS" Mr.. Taubeneck gives it as his
opinion that the soldier resolution
passed at St Louis will be dropped in
the Omaha convention. Mr.. Donnelly
says that the resolution constitutes a
part of the declaration of principles of
the peoples party. Wonderful discov-
cry that! Voters will no doubt be de-
serting the peoples party in droves if
they ever find out that there is a slight
difference of opinion between two of its
prominent men, Poor old Capital; it is
hard up for something to say against
the new party. The publication of such
silly stuff would cause the editor To
lose his own self respect if he had
any.-Clay Center CKan.) Dispatch.

COLORADO POPULISTS.

The Peoples Party of Colorado Holds Its
State Convention to Select Delegates to

The peoples convention Of this state

Pueblo on the 18th ult., and was large

S. McClelland, Larimer.
The following resolutions were unan-
imOusly adopted:

scrupulous eapitalistic employers we believe
that there should be placed upon the statute
