Lafe Pence, Populist.

Hon. LATE Pence, a Populist member
of the house from Colorado, seems des-
tined to become a man of national rep
utation. His speech, delivered at the
very beginning and before the Populists
had obtained the vantage ground which
their proposed raid on the Wall street
banks through an attack on the clearing
house certificates had given them posi-
ton to command respect, commanded
the attention of the whole body. His
pleasant manners, good voice, elegant
English and distinct utterance charmed
even his opponents, while his sarcasm
and the irresistible force Of his logic
made the pirates understand that here
was an intellectual giant in their path,
full Of fiery zeal and ready to die in his
track before he would give an inch.
While there is not a Populist member
in either house against whose record,
public or private, charge can be made,
and every American citizen can be proud
of every one of them, there are two or
three of whom, on account of their great
intellectual ability, we all may feel espe-
cially proud, and among them is our
genial LATE Pence Of Colorado.-Non-
confOrmist.

The Campo gn On.

''The fall campaign will be conduct
ed on the question Of cheap transpor-
tation and the money question:" said
Chairman Briedenthal. "The cam
paign has already begun and every
day our party is gaining votes. The
battle will be waged from now on
and it will test the strength of the
POpulist party. So far as l have
been able to learn, there will be very
little fusion, but each party will fight
its own battles independently and we
expect to come out victorious. The
questions Of money standards and
cheap transportation are important
ones and we shall be opposed to all
banks of issue and the high rates Of
transportation. l think that any
party ought to succeed which cham
pions these causes.
Where will our money come from
to conduct the campaign? Well,
can't say, but it will come and we are
not worrying about that in the least
We have as yet never asked the state
officials for a dollar and the only
money that has been spent has beer

tened yesterday to the weirdest
strangeSt music. Twas a chant, and
it walled and quavered; at times it
mOaned and cried with all the pitiful
weakness of a hungry, helpless baby,
then again it fell into the hOarse
bass of a suppressed, threatening
curse. Who were the performers of
this strange chant? They were a
fragment of the 100000 who formed
in procession and marched through
the crowded streets, keeping step and
marking time to the tuneleSS mOnOdy
we want work, we want wOrk-0ver
and over again, with awful repetition
and stolid persistence, this significant
chant, so void of melody, told the grim
purpose Of the marching men. On to
the mayor these men went and told
the story of their helpless poverty,
told of their hungry children, told of
notices from landlords to vacate
homes. Homes, did l say? Merciful
Heaven, this sort Of men never have
homeS-nOt in cities. They rent
rooms and when the month is up they
pay rent or 60.

Money Will Not Do II.

The Coming Nation, Greensburg,
Ind: Plenty of money will not
solve the social question. 1t

of money would delay the day of de-
liverance from poverty and crime.
II the money gods had any sense they
would grant these puny demands of
the people and perpetuate their reign
another thousand years. But they
are as blind as have ever been des-
potic rulers. The people will get no
relief from this congress, but the
bankers and monopOlists will get
what they want. There are

very numerous in this monopOly-rid-

A very important conference was
held at the treasury department in
Washington. The correspondent of
the st. Louis Republic reports it as
follows:
1--WE said the president recognized
the Importance Of some financial
legislation to follow the uncOndi-
tiOnal repeal of the silver-purchasing
act, and that the administration was
prepared to encourage the passage of
a law which would help to reconcile
the south and west to the defeat of
free coinage. Very strong represen-
tatiOnS, the Secretary continued, had
reached the president as to the effect
upon the Democratic party of uncOn-
ditiOnal repeal. He had been given
to understand that unless something
is done Democratic nominees for Con-
greSS will be overwhelmingly defeated
in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tex
as and in other heretofore reliably
Democratic localities, by third party
candidates. In view of this situation
the president WIS willing that a new
banking bill should be framed and
and brought into the house as soon as
the senate diSpOseS of the repeal bill"
His Excellency, the Emperor, is
willing to concede state banks to the
people, in order to conciliate them,
but it must be understood that state
bank notes will not pay foreign debts.
The rights of foreigners must be pro-
tected. Neither will the power of
contracting and expanding the vol
ume of currency be taken away from
the banks and placed in the hands of
government by the people. We shall
have flexible currency, but its flex-
Utility will be controlled by the same
power that has operated it heretofore.
When they want to squeeze" the
people must submit. Our good and
kind Emperor is to be commended
for thus yielding so much to his sub.
jectS. He has fairly won trip to
Europe, The people ought to enact a
Geary law to cover his case.

Stopped His Pension.

The Caldwell NeoCS of August 81
comments upon the stopping of D. B.
Calhoun's pension and in effect claims
that it was because he voted for the
Weaver electors. We presume the
N9,o Sknows all about it as do leading
Republicans of this section. In fact,
leading Republicans said they wished
Calhoun's and other Populist's pen
sions would be stopped and leading
Republicans knew that Calhoun's
pension would be stopped and learned
that it had been stopped and were re-
jOicing over it and said that it served
him right because he voted the Popu-
list ticket, and all of this before Cal
houn was notified by the department.
What are the facts? Simply, that
in order to control the soldier vote,
Republican speakers add papers
claimed that the defeat of Harrison
would be equivalent to the suspension
or repeal of thepensiOn laws and ever
since they have been working the
pension racket for all there is in it.
1t was neither Democrats or POpu-
lists that reported Mr.. Calhoun as I'M
justly on the pension roll and that
caused the order for his re-examina-
tion and that gave the Republican
examining board the opportunity to
make an adverse report, which was
the cause Of his pension being stop
ped. So Mr.. Calhoun has the Re-
publican party to thank for this vii
famous work. The department knew
nothing about Mr.. Calhoun's physical
condition, except as reported by Re
publicans and Republican officials.
Shame upon such hypOcritical liars;
they regard the pension as a reward
for working and voting for the Re-
publican party and care nothing for
the old soldier, except as they can
use him. EX-SOLDIER.

The Moving South.

Weaver received over 10000 votes in
North Carolina last November. Since
that date the Farmers Alliance of the
state has turned Populist, and many
Republicans are talking Of throwing the
old party vote into the Peoples Party.
If this is done, the state will 90 against

Carolina are in o fair way to fall into the

divisions, the second division taking

is to be composed of the State En-
