TRANSFORMATION.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESOLUTIONS.

At the night session, Chairman
Branch made the following supple
mental report:
Your committee on platform and
resolutions beg leave unanimously to
report the following:
Whereas. Other questions have been
presented for our consideration, we
hereby submit the following, not as a
part of the platform of the Peoples
party, but as resolutions expressive
of the sentiment of the convention.
Resolved, That we demand II free
ballot and fair count in all elections,
and pledge ourselves to secure it to
every legal voter, without Federal in
tervention, through the adoption by
the States of the unperverted Austria
liam secret ballot system.
Resolved, That the revenue derived
from a graduated income tax should
be applied to the reduction of the
burden of taxation now levied upon
the domestic industries of this cOun-
try.
Resolved, That we pledge our sup
port to fair and liberal pensions to ex-
Union soldiers and sailors.
Resolved, That we condemn the
fallacy of protecting American labor
under the present system, which opens
our ports to the pauper and criminal
classes of the world, and crowds out
wage carriers, and we denOunce the
present ineffective laws against con-
tract labor, and demand the further
restriction OF undesirable immigra-
ton.
Resolved, That we cordially sym
pathize with the efforts of organized
workingmen to shorten the hours of
labor, and demand rigid enforce
ment of the existing eight hOnr law
on general work, and ask that special
clause be added to said law.
Resolved, That we regard the main
tenance of a large standing army of
mercenaries, known as the Pinkerton
system, as u menace to our liberties,
and we demand its abolition and we
condemn the recent invasion of the
Territory of Wyoming by the hired
assassins of plutocracy, assisted by
Federal officers.
Resolved, That we commend to the
thoughtful consideration of the people,
and the reform press, the legislative
system known as the initiative and
referendum.
Resolved, That we favor a consti-
tutional provision limiting the Office
of president and vice president to one
term, and providing for the election
of senators of the United States by a
direct vote of the people.
Resolved, That we oppose any sub
sidy or national aid to any private
corporation for any purpose.
When the first paragraph, that re-
lating to the force bill and the Austria
liam ballot system, was read, a delegate
moved to lay it on the table. They
already had the st. Louis platform,
he said. His motion got second,
but was beaten most decisively on a
vote, nearly the whole convention
voting no. The immigration plank
and the -Pinkerton plank were APP
plauded loudly.

Nothing of recent occurrence has
been more significant of the change in
public sentiment than the late con-
gressional discussion concerning Mr..
WatsOn's charge of intoxication among
the members on the floor of Congress.
OAce man was rather "the correct
thing i'll Washington who legislated
and navigated under "all he could
carry" and he was expected to snake
a night of it" occasionally. To-day,
known intoxicatiOn puts a .fnis, among
his constituents, to any mans Con-
gressional ambition.

Rouse to some work of high and holy love-
And thou an angels happiness shalt know:
Shalt bless the earth while in the world above;
The good begun by the shall onward flow
In many branching stream, and wider grow
The seed that in these few and fieeting hours
Thy hands, unsparing and unweariei SOW,
Shall deck thy grave with amaranthinc flowers
And yield thee fruit divine In heavens immOr
tai bowers.

fIE REFORMER.

How grand above Humanity to hold
A manly arm uplifted, firm and free,
Pointing the way TO Hope, Faith, liberty,
Enkindling hearts long weary and grown cold!
And II a light lie In that hand so bold
Whereby the road more clearly seen may be,
Men follow with their burdens patiently,
Praying 10 find It easier than the old
Against that tiny fame strong blasts will blow
But It shall CLEAN undmmed on sea and shore
SO clear IL beams above their ebb and flow.
The surges disappointed, angry, roar!
LEADER all men their hopes upon thee throw.
For wrong and misery to find cure.

APPALLING CONDITIONS.

Our country is confronted by condi
in the history of the world. Our an
nual agricultural productions amount
to billions of dollars in value, which
must within few weeks or months
be exchanged for billions OF. dollars of
commodities consumed in their pro-
ductiOn the existing currency supply
is wholly inadequate to make the
exchange the results are falling
prices, the formation of combines and
rings, the Impeachment of the pro
ducing classes. We pledge ourselves
that if given power we will labor to
correct these evils by wise and reas-
enable legislation in accordance with
the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of gov
eminent, in other words of the people,
should be expanded, as in the case OF
the postal service, as rapidly and as
far as the good sense of an intelligent
people and the teachings of experience
shall Justify to the end that oppres-
sion, injustice and poverty shall
eventually cease in the land.
While our sympathies as party OF
reform are naturally upon the side OF
every proposition which will tend to
make men Intelligent, virtuous and
temperate, we nevertheless regard
these questions--important as they
areas secondary to the great issues
now pressing for solution, and upon
which not only our individual pros
perity, but the very existence of free
institutions depend; and we ask all
men to first help us to determine
whether we are to have republic to
administer, before we differ as to the
conditions upon which it is to be adj
ministered. Believing that the forces
of reform this day organized will
never cease TO move forward until
every wrong is remedied, and equal
privileges securely established for all
the men and, women of this country,
we declare, therefore,
/. That the union of the labor forces
of the United States this day consum-
mated, shall be permanent and per-

petual may its spirit be upon all
hearts for the salvation of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
2. Wealth belongs to him who
creates it, and every dollar taken
from industry without an equivalent
is robbery. "If any will not work,
neither shall he eat" The interests
of rural and civic labor are the same
their enemies are identical.
8. We believe the time has come
when the railroad corporations Will
either own the people or the people
must own the railroads, and should
the government enter upon the work
of owning and managing all roads, we
should favor an amendment to the
constitution by which all persons
engaged in the government service
shall be placed under a civil service
regulation of the most rigid character,
SO as to prevent the increase OF the
power of the national administration,
by the use of such additional govern
ment employees.
FINANCE.
First-We demand a national cur
rency safe, sound, and flexible, issued
by the general government only, full
legal tender for all debts, public and
private and that without the use OF
banking corporations, a just, equitable
and efficient means of distribution
direct to the people at tax not to ex-
coed per cent. be provided, as set
forth in the Sub-Treasury plan OF
the Farmers Alliance. or some
better system; also, by payments In
discharge of its obligations for public
improvements.
a. We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
b. We demand that the amount OF
circulating medium be speedily In
creased to not less than $50 per capita
C. We demand a graduated income
tax.
d. We believe that the money of the
country should be kept as much as
possible in the hands of the people
and hence we demand all national and
State revenues shall be limited to the
necessary expenses of the government
economically and honestly administer
ed.
e. We demand that postal savings
banks be established by the govern
ment for the safe deposit of the earn
ings of the people and to facilitate ex
change.
LAND.
Second-The land, including all tn,
natural resources of wealth, is the her
itage of all the people and should no
be monopolized for speculative pur
poses, and alien ownership of Lane
should be prohibited. All land nov
held by railroads and other corpora
tions in excess of their actual needs
and all lands owned by aliens, shoul'
be reclaimed by the government ant
held for actual settlers only.
TRANSPORTATION.
Third Transportation being mean
of exchange and public necessity, tn
government should own and operat
the railroads in the interest of tn
people.
a. The telegraph and telephone, lik
the post-office system, being a necessit
for transmission of news, should b
owned and operated by the government
in the interest of the people.

The Nose an Index of Character.

The Nose an Index of Character.
Bonaparte, who was a man
of keen and quick PERCEPTION,
never chose, if he could help
it, a man with a poor nose for
a place of great responsibility.
He had remarked that when
the nose was large enough to
be a good vcntilator to the
lungs, elasticity in troublous
circumstances, resource and
general efficiency might be
looked for. The man with
insufficient nose ventilation
was liable to get into the
blues, to lose presence of
mind. to have a heavy head
and to take brandy to keep
himself up to the mark. Mar
shall Ney had a poor nose and
a weak character. He was
incapable of concciving a plan,
and needed the stimulous of
battle to brush the cobwebs
from his brain. The Chosen
People have big noses and
are not liable to colds in the
head. Massena, the most re-
sourccful of Bonapartc's mar
shals, was a large-nosed lew.
Bernadotte, the most clever
in intrigu" and the least given
to stupid hero worship, was
Gambetta had a
large nose and a small amount
of brain. The same thing
may be said of that greatest
literary artists that France
ever produced-Renan Jules
Ferry is small Drained and
bignosed.
