('onferring Together.

The last issue of the Iowa Farm
er's Tribune Gen. }. B. Weaver s
paper) gives an account OF con-
ference of representatives of all the
reform elements, at Chicago, which
took place the last week in January
This conference was for the pur-
pose of trying to bring together all
reform elements for united political
action. \
The delegates to this conference
were some of the grestest thinkers
and most level-headed men and wo-
men of the country-such people as
Gen. j. b. Weaver, Ignatius Don
nelly, Frances E. Willard, Gilbert
Delamater, Samuel Dickie, Ii. f.
Taubencck, Rev. w. d.. p. Bliss,
Annie L. Diggs, Capt. g. A. Power,
Edward Evans, Hamlin Garland and
many others.
A statement of principles was
az eed upon, which, in brief, is as
follows
Money issued by the government
without the intervention of private
institutions, in sufficient quantity
to transact the business of the coun-
try; to be full legal tender for all
debts, public and private. y
Demand the suppression of the
saloon.
Demand government control OF
means of transportation aud COM
,nunication and if an effort to con-
troll be Intellectual, government own
ership is favored.
Opposed to speculation in and
alien ownership of land, and reas-
ouablc limitation Of amount OF land

Another terrible accident Oh
the New York Central railroad on
the night of December oath, 1891,
at Hastings, not far from Peekskill.
One train stopped to have hot box
couled. A brakeman named Herrick
was sent back under orders to pro-
coed 1000 yards swinging his Ian
tern all the way. Instead of obey
ing orders he made for saloon, and
while there drinking, another train
rushed on, dashed into the standing
train, killing nine passengers and
mangling ten others. Some of these
days the New York Central railroad
and perhaps some others will get
tired of giving employ to drunkards
or men with liquor-soaked appe-
tite. If the Legislature of New
York desires to save life, it will
make the selling Of liquor at any
point or place within quarter of
milo of a railway state prison of
fense, with the confiscation Of the
property ofthe nder.-Pomeroy's

advocate of the reforms demanded
by the people. A first-class Domes-

An Editors HallueinatiOn.

of the journal that IN. j. TurrelI

prietors of the prohibition AGIrAToR
lied"
The truth will often draw large
blister and a bigger howl from maj
who is perpetrating a fraud upol
the people, or public, than a false
hood will hence the statesmanlik'
assertion, -"You lie."
again affirm to the brother tina
| am not one of the editors or own
ers of the AGlrAroR. Neither have
| ever professed to be a prohibition
ist, though have respect for sucl
as | believe to be honest. feal
that such hallucinations will bring

strung tension.
He further says: 1.-THE chairman
of committee that makes miser
able failure cannot Withstand the
press criticism" There woulC
have been no criticism from the
Journal if the committee had fur
nished it's editor with "sheep-herd
ers' delight" during the campaign.
AS the brother has continually
been throwing slurs at me since he
let up on James Black, he will kind
ly allow me to criticise him little
as he processes to be Peoples par
ty educator, advocate and editor.
He has never published all editorial
that advocated or defended any OF
the principles or demands of the
Peoples party that the two old par.
ties do not concede (; but he has op-
posed nearly every measure the
party has advocated. He com.
menced when the legislature CON
vened last winter, and has continued
up to the last issue of his paper,
which has a fling at Snow, of the
Ottawa journal, and the ollowing
parting rapp: "The great trouble
with the Peoples party is that it
has too many imaginary educators. -
My prayer is that the good Lord
will deliver the Peoples party trem
all hypocritical educators that are in
the pay of either of the old parties.
