Mr.. J. III. Boiler, of Lincoln coun.

us Peoples Party folks to see what
capers the few democrats that are
left in the county, do cut to get the
farmers back into the G. O. P.
Our district is the banner district
of the county. The democrats could
not find a man to represent the dis
trict ong the executive committee
and had to appoint a man living in
another district to represent ours.

TEXAS COMING.
ALI Factions now in Line for Action

ALI Factions now in Line for Action.
DEAR EDITORS Il have post
poned for several days an item for
your readers for the reason that |
wanted to see the results of confer
ence between what was known as
the Jeffersonian Democrats or sub
treasury Democrats and the Peoples
Party Of this state. That conference
took place in Dallas a few days ago
and they unanimously and happily
cast their anchor into the popular
current of the Peoples movement.
In this organization in this state there
are over forty thousand votes. 1t
means a great deal for reform.
In fact, Texas right now, is O. X.
for the Peoples party. The present
congress is doing more to push JUS
tice to the front than all the argument
and writings of the entire reformers
Of the country. Those congressman
have forgotten that they were sent
the last time by a constituency whose
eyes have been opened-those who
neutrality-suspicious. made, and now
they are fixing to open the eyes of
these deceiVing politicians. A we'll
known farmer from Bonham, Texas,
tells about the way they feel, better
than [ can:
1.-The farmers of this part are tax
ing a greater interest in political
questions than ever before within our
recollection. The Peoples Party is
sweeping the country, much to the
dismay of the political bosses and
wirepulIers. We are going to elect
Peoples Party man to occupy the
gubernatorial chair; we are going to
plant what cotton we please and we
are going to retire the old plutocrat-
ic office holders to private life and
plant new crop of county, state and
national officials; we will suffer our
selves to be no longer misled by cthe
uproar of sham battle over the
tariff, !" but our object is to remove a
more outrageous tariff on money by
the abolition of the Ubiquitous ma
tional banking system. Instead of
this system of robbery we would have
the government issue money direct
to the people.
Every working man of the north,
south and west should be absolutely
true to his manhood, defy the party
lash and support at the ballot box
the movement which has for it's OBJ
ject the relief of labor from the op-
Presslve conditions imposed by
merciless money power.
Place agriculture on an equal basis
with the speculative pursuits; give
the control of the country's wealth
to the toiling millions who produce
it. Then and not till then can our
country be justly called ''The land of
the free and the home of the brave
That is about the feeling. I was
in a small town where twelve hun
dred farmers came in to ratify the

requested to fill several appointments

OSCAR PARKER, Atlanta, Ga:
DEAR SIR-The Peoples Party
Executive Committee met and or
ganized last Saturday, the 18th in
slant, by electing J. ID. III. Thompson
chairman and John w. Warren sec
rotary, every district represented
so you see we are in the fray. We
appointed Saturday the 28th of May,
for the nomination of delegates. We
will elect by primary. We have
eight militia districts IN this county
Three of them will be almost solid
for the Peoples Party, the 4th will
give handsome majority, the others
may give the Democrats small ma
jorities. The Peoples Party will
carry the county by good majority
Our cause is growing down this way
Tell Tom Watson to keep laying it
on to Gordon and his kind until the
people will know the record of the
glorious Democracy.
Yours truly.

Mozley's Sub, of Douglas county,
lires red hot resolutions into Living
ston and his committee for attempt

THE HOMESTEAD LOCKOUT,
An Estimate of What It Will Cost
All Concerned.

A dispatch from Homestead, Penn, says:
THE great lockout at Homestead is just one
month old, and has already cost over 81,
900, 600 besides the sacrifice of half-score
of human lives and serious injuries to many
times that number. OF the loss in cash. the
military has cost in round figures $500, Co.,
thu workmen have lost in wages $780,
900 and the Carnegies have spent and
lost as much more in getting new workmen.
The workmen at Beaver Falls, Duquesne and
the Union mills in Pittsburg have lost about
100000 in wages by their sympathy strike,
and the firm is out $780, 900 by the idleness
of these plants. Added to this will be the
county expenses for deputy sheriffs and
murder trials the expense to the city
for hunting Anarchists and to the Nation
for the Congressional investigation. An
other item of 10 mean significance is the loss
to workmen and manufacturers in plants
indirectly affected, which have been forced
to close down for want Of material. The
locked-out workmen have not as yet been de-
prIved of any of the necessaries Of life, and
If the fight should last several weeks longer
there is no danger of the workmen's families
coming to actual want. Subscriptions have
been coming in literally and the relief work
has been carried on judicious!y and well.
Every day people come to the Amalgamated
headquarters and receive orders for gro
ceries and provisions. The funds already
collected will hold out for some time. The
people who are receiving aid are principally
those who received 81 40 a day, the cheap
laborers, who left their places out of sym
pathy for the members of the Amalgamated
Association"
On the 39th of June, 1000 men having
been locked out, 1900 others struck out OF
sympathy, and onl Y a few watchmen were
left around the plant. Now there are about
725 men in the mill, and the firm says it has
a quantity of beams ready for shipment.
The claim that their ranks are as
solid on the first day after the mills were
closed against them, while the officials of the
company assert that there are gaps that are
daily becoming wider.
When the striking workmen at the ALE
ghany Bessemer Steel Works at Duquesne
were paid off Waterman named Foley got
into an alteration with man named
Bourke, a striker. They were arrested
and taken to the Aldermen's office.
While there Foley's son attacked Bourke
and cut him over the right eye. A crowd
of several hundred workmen gathered
around to see the fight and nearly created a
riot. The crowd was ultimately scattered
by the Sheridan Troop. which was tele-
graphed for to the heights above.
The would-be assassin Berkmann IVES
given preliminary hearing in the County
Jail Office in Pittsburg, and was admitted tc
bail aggregating $24, 900, which was not
furnished, and the prisoner was remanded
for court.

THREE ARCTIC CRUsOEs.
The Order Closing Bering Sea V1r
tually Means Death to Them


Three white men, Fred Burns, John Pals
ford ana man known only as "frenchy"
have been left to speni an Arctic winter on
a desolate islaa1. with scanty provisions and
absolutely without fuel. That they ara IN
such terrible plight is mainly due TO the
rigid enforcement of the orders closing Be-
ring Sea against seal hunters.
Just year ago these men were put ashore
on st. Matthew's Island far up III Berlng
Sea, from the sealing schooner, Matte Dyer.
from San Francisco, Cal. They assisted IN
building rude hut and were given years
supply of foo1 an wood, and seventy pounds
of powder was left with them. The plan
was for them to hunt and SKIN polar bears
ana blue faces until this season, when the
Dyer was to remove them.
The schooner arrived at San francisco
few days ago without the three hunters:
Captain Macklar stated that he dared not
venture into Boring Sea for fear OF seizure
and had been able to make no provision Ior
the relief Of the men on the island. Two
parties of Indian hunters left there IN pre-
vious seasons under similar conditions
We're devoured by polar bears.
