Made Friends.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. "a "A most excit-
ing and important session OF the great
national industrial conference was ex
pected today, but a blue and
gray mass meeting, into which the
convention resolved itself be
fore graphing with the plat
form, temporarily poured oil upon
the troubled waters. Commodore
Vandervoort, of Nebraska, for
the union veterans present In the con-
ventIou, pledged President Polk. for
old confederate soldiers In attend
ance, that they would join hands
to bury sectional hate, and the
treaty, If such it might
be termed was ratified by speeches by
Ex-senator Vanwyck, of Nebrask a,
and Ben Terrell, of Texas. Amid al
most GREATNESS silence the conven-
ton listened while Ignatus Donnally
began to read the platform. The
platform puts forth for union and in
dependence and says: "We meet in
the midst of q nation brought
to the verge of political and
moral ruin. Corruption dominates
the ballot box, legislatures and
congress and touches even the
ermine of the bench. People are de-
moralized. Many states have
been compelled to isolate voters
at polling places in order
to prevent universal intimidation
or bribery. Newspapers are sub.
sidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our
homes covered with mortgages, labor
impoverished and land concentrating
in She hands of capitalists.

Russia's Native Meanness.

ST.. PETERSBURG, Feb. 24.-Strong
complaints continue to be made of the
action OF the administrative authori
ties In dealing with the famine. 1t is
asserted that at several places the
committees charged with the distri-
button of food take advantage of the
u tterly helpless condition of the
peasants to compel them TO give
way in matters concerning
which they have formerly been
In conflict with the authorities.
With this object, the poor people are
refused all help until q promise has
been obtained from them that they
will pay In future the money for the
land purchased in regard to which
they denied their liability, and, de.
prived of all resources, the peasants
see no other course open to them than
to undertake to make these payments
In order to secure a share in the corn
and flour distributed by the relief
committees.
