form OF the peoples party, adopted
at St. Louis Feb. "a, 1892.
Second, That we support the can
didates of the peoples party at the
coming election.
Third, Considering the traffic in
liquors one of the greatest OF evils
we believe, under existing condi-
tions, that local option for the
counties in this is the best measure
which at present there is any posi-
bility of attaining.
A lengthy discussion followed in
which each plank OF the st. Louis
platform was considered. The reso-
lutions were unanimously adopted
not, however, without expressions
OF regret by some that the st. Louis
convention had felt constrained to
ignore the the liquor question.
On motion resolved that the pro-
ceedings OF this meeting be sent to
the "GREAT WEST" and "Red River
Dalen." C. STEVENSON.

we cannot elect one then, Eyes we can

cannot, we will be better off than to

but we have to be careful who We let.
Now. will tell why write this
epistle at this time: There are e4e-
ments at work to my knowledgk,
that are pushing certain men fOk-
ward for Congressman of the first
district. One is Mr.. Meighen, of Fill
more Co., and we are being told that
he is one of the "brainiest men in the
district" and in that county. Now
is that SO? I'VE do not think it is,
Bro. Senn.] ! ask you that question
seeing you have met him good
deal. In my belief he is one OF the
men we ought not to get because we
want men who stand on the whole
platform. But if you say am wrong
I give in; and there is another one
that is we'll spoken of by our demo-
cratic friends-they say we should
pick him. He spells his name some
thing like this-Furlong. But, by
golly, that would be the biggest
calamity we could get into. Then he
is not able to give q report of his In
surance Co., according to his agree
ment at our State Meeting, and then
to send him to Washington to do our
work! Did you ever hear such stu
pidityS U. Sem, SR.
1--WE like Mr.. Senn's outspoken
method. We do not think Mr..
Meighen will represent the alliance
or peoples party in Congress-cannot
conceive such a thing. AS for Mr..
Furlong he will not run on the re-
form ticket if at all. Mr.. F. is a

TO FREE CUBA.
An Expedition Said to Have Started for
That Purpose

CHICAGO, Aug. GA Chicago news
paper says tnat Cuban patriots in the
United States are about to strike blow
fer Cuban Independence. Information
has just been received by members of
the Cuban club in Chicago regarding
the departure of ship from a port near
Key West, Fla, July 25. Its destina-
ton was the Queen Of the Antilles"
and it was loaded down with we'll
drilled and fully equipped men, who
are prepared to die for Cuban liberty.
Abundant supplies, arms and amuni-
tions were on board.
The utmost precautions were taken to
prevent the expedition from exciting
the attention of the authorities of Key
West, in order that no notice should be
given to the Spanish rulers of the island.
The afternoon of July "a and the morn
ing Of July 20 Il number of small parties
left Tampa and Key West in small boats
for fishing excursions. The fact that
there are so many Cubansin Tampa and
Key West oaused no suspicion of the
real object of the fishing excursions.
The little band had orders to meet at a
point twelve miles from Key West, ac-
cording to the letter received here. AT
this place there was vessel in waiting
for them With ample supplies and arms.
The lender Of the expedition is un-
doubtedly General Charles Rolloif, who
has been in Florida for more than two
months, He is native of Poland, hut
emigrated when young to Cuba. With
the love of liberty born in every son of
Poland he espoused the cause of Cuban
liberty when the revolution of 1868
broke out. Long before the ten years
struggle was over he had risen to be u
general, and he is given the credit of
having conducted the most successful
campaign, from the insurgents stand
point, in the Whole struggle.
A dispatch from Washington says the
officials of the state and treasury de-
partments discredit the story that
ship left port near Key West, Fla,
about July % for Cuba loaded down
with men, arms and ammunition. Moth
ing has been received on the subject
from any of the government officers
along the Florida coast.

Lot Christians Take uearr.

Zaccheus is proof of wonderful sus-
ceptibility in men to radical and wide
transformation in spirit, temper and aim
In life, within very short compass of
time, even in aS1lt years. He belonged
to class Of men proverbial for selfish
greed Of money and was rich as a publ.
can. He desired to see Jesus who he
was. Who would not want to see the
man whose name was on every tongue,
and of whom such marvellous things
were told? He sees him from the syca-
moro tree. He is called to entertain
him, and prepares a dinner for him.
The words and spirit Of Christ enter his
heart and make him new man.
Justice, including reparation and
marked generosity, are in his heart.
Behold, Lord, the half of my goods
give to the poor, and if l have wrong
fully exacted aught from any one re
store fourfold." The publican becomes
in a day, on the lineage Of faith, son
of Abraham. That day salvation came
to that house. Let Christians take heart
in their work. The Gospel is still "the
power Of God unto salvation to every
one that believeth. Christian Inquirer.

AndALoAHNATED ASSOCIATION.
Iron Manufacturers Say There Must Be
aChange.

PrTTsBURG, Aug 6.-David B, Oliver
yesterday, discussing the proposition Of
the manufacturers submitted to the
Amalgamated Association to arbitrats
the wage scale differences, said:
Ba"I am convinced that unless the
Amalgamated Association makes rad.
ical change in its methods the manufac.
turers of Pittsburg will be obliged to
free themselves completely from its con.
troll. Year by year matters have drifted
into the condition that brings about
total stoppage of from four TO six weeks
each recurring scale signing period.
This stoppage is attended by no end OF
contention and disputation. In my case
] have eight separate scales to arrange
for this year, and positively the labor
and yexatious worry of this work,
which covers q period OF about two
months time, is greater than what
comes from my regular business during
the other ten months Of the year.
George ii. Laughlin, of Jones g.
Laughlin, limited, said: "Arbitration
was proposed by US as being the best
fairest means of tettlement, not only for
ourselves and workinen, but for the

easily understood figures, that we can
not work under what is proposed to us
by the Amalgamated Association and
be successful. do not apprehend that
the Amalganated Association will agree
through its lodges to submit the differ.
ences to such settlement. 1t has never
been the policy of that association to
agree to arbitration, or to desire he
same, except in cases like that now e.v.
isting at Aomestead-wh they knew
they were whipped"
I'm case the association, through its
lodges, votes against arbitration and re.
fuses to grant the committee power to
act beyond what it did, then whatT'
"Such step on the part of the asso-
ciation would be to bring it nearer the
termination of suicidal policy it has in
augurated lately than anything else. In
the past many concerns have found it
advantageous to work under the rules
of the association, but it would appear
that these rules are about to become
sueh that we cannot continue in sue
cessful operation with them"

Set Your Face to the Enemy.

"Right about face" said young SOL
dier, in giving an account Of his con-
version. This is what 1 did when I
was converted. My face was toward
Sin and pleasure and self indulgence,
and turned squarely about and set my
face toward God and barred my breast to
the devil, and said, Come on, old temp
ter and soul destroyer, I am going to
fight you to the end.'"
And this, soldiers of Christ and SOL
diers of the country, is the attitude for
you all. Your face toward death, your
breast presented to the enemy; for the
peace of God means war with the devil
Rnd all his legions.-Rev. A. J. Gordon.

No Reconciliation Between the New

York Leader and the President.
New YORK, Aug. 8. = Ex-senator
Thomas G. Platt, in conversation with
United Press reporter yesterday, en-
phatically denied the report that he was
to have conference with whitelaw
Reid on the political situation in New
York He intimated that any overtures
for closer relations between himself and
President Harrison would have to come
from the latter. With regard to the
conference with Mr.. Reid Mr.. Platt
said that there was nothing to consider
about, and that he had not been in
vited to confer with Mr.. Reid. With
regard to the talk about the president
wanting to placate him Mr.. Platt said
he did not want to be placated. He nad
not asked Harrison for anything since
the campaign opened, and he was not
going to ASK anything of him. He had
not been asked to meet the president on
the latter's arrival in this city.
With regard to the political situation
In the state Mr.. Platt said it was all
right. Mr.. Hackett, the chairman of
the campaign committee, was running
matters. With regard to the report that
Mr.. Blaine was going to make speeches
during the campaign, he said that he
thought that he would be making
speeches as coon as Mr.. Blaine. Mr.,
Platt did not know whether or not the
president was coming to New York to
look into the situation. So far as he
knew the Republican party in the state
was harmonious.

They allowed two conveys to fall VIC
