THE MASsMEEIING. !.

After the adjournment Mass
Meeting was called, in which a great
many delegates took part as sciiizens,
together with number who were
Ilot delegates to the Conference, and
proceeded to take stepts looking to
political action. The result was a
call for National Convention, tobe
held the 4th day of next July in the
city of Omaha, Nebraska. This ae-
ton wa. entirely distinct fiom the
work of the conference of Labor Or
ganization to which You sent us as
your representatives.
It will be seen that the Conference
did not by its action did-net@ bind
any one Of the organizations repre-
sented nor any member thereof to
the support of any particular poiti=
cal party. In spirit of coaeessisa
and compromise all the. various
States and sections and all shades Of
political opinion, sought only the
common good of the whole people,
and with remarkable unanimity
adopted declaration of principles.

This is by no means all the proper

is listed for taxation. Some proper

We do ordain and establish the
following platform of princip les:
1st. We desire the union eff. the
labor forces of the United States this
day accomplished, permanent and
perpetual. May its spirit enter into
all hearts for the salvation of the
Republic aud the uplifting of man
kind.
End. Wealth belongs to him who
created it. Every dollar taken from
industry without an equivalent is
robqery. IF ony rne will not work,
neither shall he eat. the interests
ofrural and urban labor .re the same;
their enemies are Identical.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-03-10

The land, ineluding all natural
resources of wealth, is the-heritage
of a 1 people, and sheuldnot be mo-
nopolized for speculative purposes,
and alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held
by railroads and other corporations
in excess of their actual-needs, and
all lands now held by aliens should
be reclaimed by the Government and
held for actual settlers only.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1892-03-10

While some. parts OF the above
address may seem, at. a glance, Ito

We. upon careful study one will clear:

further, will be impressed with the
truthof its premises and the ability
of the committee who ffafnedit. It
Was adopted with on.y.a few dissent
ing votes and the platform was
adopted unanimously and received
with great applause. The CLnfer
ence having completed its WORK as a

HORSE THIEF LACEY EN- ROUTE.


a Notorious Criminal Passes Through
burlington on tho Way to New York.
When the II clock train from the south
came in Saturday there alighted in charge
of Sheriff White of Pittsburgh, man
heavily ironod hand aud foot. 1t wos Will
liam Lacey, the horse thief and house
breaker, who had escaped from the scene Of
his labors across the lake and for some time
past been engaged in the commendable
work OF laying stone for a church in Mid
dlebury. But he was arrested Thursday at
Bristol, on requisition of the governor of
Now York. He was noted by the bystand-
ers as u rather faccid indolent appearing
individual, about five feet in height and Of
light complexion. His indolent manner is
said to have been his winning card on more
than one occasion, as 1t has tended to relax
the vigilance Of the officer in charge. But
he is now known rs desperate man to
travel with and hence the seemingly severe
precautions. He was taken to Plattsburgh
on the $50 o'clock boat.

to the chair and warm discussion followed
relative to the advisablity of allowing
citizens to construct buildings that en-

power Of the street commissioners in the
matter. Aldermen w. +. and II. w. Hall, II.
G. Stevenson and T.. L. Davis expressed their

Henry Irving is fond of relating little
incident that occurred to him when in Dor
setshire village last summer. Whilst passing
a group of children one of them eyed him SO
sharply that the actor said, "Well, little
girl, do you know nue. - "Yes sir" was
the reply, lyon are one of the 'Beecham's
Pills. - She had seen his face in one of
their advertisements.
1t is not strange that Beechams pills are
30 universally and favorably known when
one considers that the manufacturers make
use of over II, 900 advertising mediums, and
spend about 500 600 through them every
year. Such liberal use Of the press is bound
to have results, and proof is seen In the ex-
ceptional facilities found necessary to EN-
ploy in the manufacture Of the pills, in or
der to meet the enormous and increasing de-
mand among them, the pill machine which
shapes IL, 900 pills per minute. And fur
thermore, in the fact that this average guam
tity kept in stock is 81 tons, which means
about 1,GSi, 200 pills always ready for
shipment These figures are almost lofty
enough to make one feel dizzy, but then he
has only to swell the ranks and become a
user Of these famous pills when all dizziness

or liver and stomach troubles will disappear.
