THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Resolved, That we desire to say to
the members Of the peoples party of
this state, that the prospects for the
success of the principles our party
were never so bright as they are to-
day. The terrible collapse of the
business and commerce Of the whole
country, and the great suffering
which is following and must follow
to the mass Of the people, who labor
for living, are opening the eyes of
the voters to the fact that the finan-
cial principles of the old parties are
destructive of the country, and they
are coming over to the peoples party
by the hundreds of thousands. We
have only to stand firm by our prin-
cipleS to speedily achieve state and
national triumphs.
Resolved, That in the presidential
campaign of last year we told the
people that the great issue was the
financial one; and that the Outcry of
both the old parties, about the tariff,
was simply sham fight, agreed upon
by them, for temporary purposes, to
divert public attention from the real
questions at issue. The result has
proved the truth of our statements:
the tariff issue is now dead and
buried; the money issue is the sole
and only one before the people to-
day. We call the attention of the
voters to this to show how cunninglv
they were humbugged, by the money
power, acting through the leaders of
two great agencies, the republican
and democratic parties.
THE FREE SILVER CONVENTION.
Resolved, That we urge that full
delegation go from Minnesota to the
Chicago convention. to be held
August 1st, 1893; to protect against
the repeal of the Sherman act and to
demand the full reconciliation of
silver. We believe that the said con-
vention will be the most important
held in this country, in the last quar-
ter of century.
RESOLUTIONS OF COINCIDENCE.
RESOLVED, That we have heard
with profound regret of the great
and irreparable loss sustained by our
friend and fellow member of this
committee, Hon. 81. P. Bjorge, in the
loss of his eldest son; and we assure
him that he and his family have the
sympathy OF all who know them in
their great affection.
Resolved, That this resolution be
spread upon the minutes of the state
farmers alliance, and the secretary is
directed to forward copy of the
! same to Mr.. Bjorge.

RESOLUTIONS
Adopted by the Executive Com
mittees of the Peoples Party
and the State Alliance.

Following is the full text Of the
resolutions adopted by the execu-
tive committees of the peoples party
and the state farmers alliance at the
Joint session held at St. Paul July
9Th, 1893:
ENDORSING MR.. DONNELLY.
Resolved, That we have entire
confidence in Hon. Ignatius DOnnel-
ly. We believe that he has been and
is the best friend the farmers and la
borers have had in Minnesota, for
the last thirty years; and that dur
ing all that time he has been the
target Of plutocracy, and their hire
HngS.
"FUSION."
Resolved, That we resent the i'm
putation that the peoples party of
the state of Minnesota in the last
campaign, "fuSed" with the demo-
cratic party, as an absolute, unjuSti-
fable falsehood.
ENDORSING THE REPRESENTATIVE.
"Resolved, That we desire to ex-
press our cordial approval and hearty
endorsement of the new alliance pa
per, the REPRESENTATIVE, and we
ask every friend of reform in the
state to constitute himself a commit
tee of one to work constantly to sus-
tain it and increase it's circulation.
1t is laboring, in moderate and
temperate spirit, to unite all ele-
ments of reform, in this state, in
harmonious action;it is owned by the
local alliances; 1t cannot and 1t aoill not
sell as out I'm the crisis of a campaigns;
and if it is sustained, as it should be,
it will give us the state in 1894. We
ask every local alliance and every
peoples party club and industrial
league in the state, to 60 to work at
once and help build it up and make
it a great power"
This was followed by the following.
also unanimously adopted:
'sResolved, By the peoples party
state central committee, that our
chairman Mr.. T. J. Meighen, is here
by requested to solicit Subscriptions
of stock to our paper, the REPREsEN-
TATIvE, from such persons as in his
Judgment might be inclined to assist
our cause"

Back to Their Studies.

The school boys and girls, all over
the country, are returning to their
various seats Of learning this week,
after a happy holiday season. The
Middletown schools reopened on Tues
day with full corps of teachers and
pupils. There are now six depart
ments. The new building which was
recently erected, has been furnished
with new and modern desks and vari-
GUS other necessary appliances. Miss
Lizzie Hall, who was elected teacher
of this department, entered upon her
new duties this week with about 40
"young ideas.n The new department
has long been needed, for rooms Nos.
and 5 have been SO crowded as to
make work difficult for both teachers
and pupils. The division of the classes
necessarily puts some from No. back
to No. 5, and doubtless many have the
erroneous idea that those who have
been "turned back" are lacking either
in good scholarship or department,
which is not the case. The present
arrangement has been carefully made
for a more uniform division of the
classes, and those who go to No. 5
from No. 4, are still in the same grade
ais they were before. The classes be-
ing smaller, they will be able to re-
ceiye better instructions and make
more rapid advancement. Every de-
partment of the school gives evidence
OF thorough and conscientious work,

Grief KILLED Him.

A young colored man named James
Shockley, died at the Almshouse on
Wednesday of pneumonia and melan-
cholia. He had been sentenced to inn
prisonment in the New Castle Jail
for assault and battery, but from the
time of his confinement he grieved SO
that he finally became SO i'll that he
was removed to the county hospital,
where he died on the very day his
term of imprisonment expired. He
was said to be respectable and in
dustrious young man, and had been
employed as hostler at the Gibson
House in Wilmington. His trouble
grew out of street fracas with an
other man last November.

lied in the Chesapeake City Presbyter-

of the church, performed the cere'

\ Rainy New years Day.

Those who like nice rainy day,
found Sunday-New Years day-very
much to their liking. The rain which
came moderately early in the day,
poured in torrents later. carrying
away the snow, and, for a time, spoil
ing the ice. The New Year services
in the various churches were sparse
ly attended, as only a few of the faith
full were brave enough to face the
storm. Twas a good time for medita-
ton, and the amiable custom OF max
ing New Year resolutions was observed
as usual We've left the old year be-
hind, but find ourselves much the
same in the new The unpleasant
traits of mind and the many bodily
weaknesses which we would gladly
have lost with the old year, still cling
to us, in spite of our firm resolves. +"
There's one good resolution which,
doubtless, many made on Sunday,
and that is"To do more and say less. "
The latter especially will commend
itself to all. Idle words are among
the DEVILS best tools.
