Direct Legislation.

EDITOR ADvocATE:-I have just fin
ished reading an article in your able pa
per entitled, "SOme Of the Methods Of
Influencing Legislation"
1t describes admirably the pernicious
influence that the rch and powerful
classes are enabled to exercise upon the
action Of congress, but after SO describ-
ing this insidious and corrupting lobby,
you stop short and say nothing whatever
on the means Of eradicsting this terrible
evil And this Notwithstanding the fact
thSt the Omaha platform calls attention
to the only radical and permanent cure.
The initiative and referendum viii
make it impossible for q small but pow
erful and unscrupulous body Of men to
HtiSte legislation ct its very spring, and
to present to the parched lips Of the
American citizens the stale and nRusest-
ing drink Of class laws, instead Of the
pure and invigoratinR Legislation that
they have q right to expect.
We can trust the great American peo-
pie 10 take the proper action on ell the
pressing problems Of the day IL we give

ences. What q spectacle does the con-
gFsss of the United States represent Rt
PRESENT. A minority Of the senate ON
abled to block all legislation. What a
parody and farce to call this q mSiority
government.
That we sympathize with the minority
should make no difference. The same
method could be employed by the other
side.
| regret that q paper like the ADvo-
GATE, TO which we look for guidance and
leadership, has so little to say ON the ALE
important subject Of direct legislation. I
do not hesitate to affirm that each and
every other reform, whether il refer TO
the financial, agrarian, liquor or trans
portation question Is secondary in far
reaching Importance to the great
question Of direct and pure legislation.
Conditions IN this state are shaping
themselves very favorably for the Pso-
ple's party. In our section, the old par
ties are practically dead. There 10 not q
republican or democratic paper left in
the UncompShgre valley. and there ls q
great increase OF radical Populist ssnti-
ment. The Omaha platform is unre-
servedly endorsed. Lifelong republicans
and democrats are daily renounclng
their allegiance. May the good work 60

Resolved, That we commend the Populist
representatives in Congress for nobly re-
fusing TO vote for the unconditional repeal
Of the Sherman law, thus completely de-
monetizing silver.
Resolved, That we condemn the vicious,
traitorous, plutoOratiO Legislation, which In
twenty years has caused silver and gold to
vary more, compared with one another,
than they did during $500 years preceding
the great crime Of 1873.

Meade County POpulist Resolutions.
Thefollowing resolutions were adopted
by Populist county convention, held
at Meade, in Meade county, Kas., Sep
tember 80, 1898:
WHERRAs, The American people are pass
ing through q financial crisis unknown In
the history Of our nation; and
WHERRAs, LeRislRtion for the last thirty
yeprs is entirely responsible for the bane-
ful effects Of said financial disaster; and

WHEREAS, England through Wall street

nation; therefore be il
Resolved, BY the Peoples party Of Meade
county, Kas., assembled on this SOth day Of
September, 1888:
FirSt-That the Omaha and our state
platforms have our unqualified endorse
ment, and "sink or swim, live OF die' we
will work and vote for the principles snun-
CiRted by the said platforms.
Second--That she legislation upon finance
for the last thirty years and that which is
now sought by our chief executive and his
satellites, 10 at variance with American
liberty and should be looked upon as little
less than reasonable.
Third-ThRt such legislation not only
threatens American liberty but must beget
distrust and lead to national
blight.
FOurth-That legislation that places mil
lions on the verge Of starvation, with banks
inflated and crowded ranarieS, should be
condemned as vicious and unworthy Of our
confidence and support.
'Fifth-That the administration preceding
the present one is equally responsible with
that Of the present, for the deplOrable con-
dition in which our country is placed; the
financial policy Of both ID identical.
Sixth-Thst an international money con-
ference is an international farce, and that
there is as much propriety in gsttipg the
consent Of other nations a. 10 what we shall
LegiSlate upon other matters a. upon what
kind Of money we shall use.

or may NOT, DUE ~ IS very cruel 70 say
that a first offender shall not be 80
hel ,ed by good people, and, in fact, i'm
possible TO be stopped. This is my un-
deEstanding Of tbe action Of those
societies (whoss number I do not believe
exceed twenty, # it equal that, and they
are certainly not under government con-
troll or assisted by state funds. Your
accurate knowledge Of Great Britain has
evidently not yet taught you that the
smallest amounts Of state expenditure
are public; that they are closely scruti-
nized and checked off by the house Of
commons. There ia no possibility OF
sums, large or small, being expended
there without the knowledge and ap-
provRl of the public Except the secret
service money-s small amount, mostly
expended on looking after dynsmitards
supported and exported from the United
Statss).
You intimate that I may know more
about Great Britain than some Ameri-
cans and imply that / know less than
others. There comes the trouble. l

so many people in this country appear to
take delight in preaching gospel Of en-

toward q country and people which has
every desire to cultivate friendly rela-
tlons with this, is to me q problem as

I am thus speaking; and fur

PAUPER IMMIGRATION.
Mr.. Oldrsive Replies With His Views on
the Question,

more caustiC than the nature OF the case
demanded, allow me TO express my re-
gret. On the other hand, You must allow
that continuous stream OF reflections
on ones native land is somewhat exAs-
perRting, especially when those ARTICLES
appear to be written, not for the sake OF
imparting information, but TO wound; not
with judicial cslmness, but with an ami
mus, If not mslevOlsnCeS which ChaFaC-
terizss many newspapers in this county,
on the subject Of the British empire, and
England In particular. The fslsehoods
are bad, but what is infinitely worse and
usual is the despiCsble form Of attack
known as the shalt truth, ,"-the truth
which is half q he. Allow me to point
out first and foremost that, although
you have only furnished evidence (and
that Of a heRrssy nsture) bearing on
the question Of the importation Of Crimi-
mails to this country, still you add "pau-
pers," as if the two names and classes
were interchangeable, which lS far from
being correct.
I must remind you at this point when
you quote the secretary Of the treasury,
that you yourself proved, to many PEG
ple's satisfaction, that the reports Of the
secretaries with regard to their own es-
pecial province were misleading and
false. The figures had been cooked" {"
and mslversstion was more than winked
at. You can hardly expect me to believe
anything emsnating from that depart
ment after reading the impeachment
furnished in your own paper. Let me
add from my own personal and histoti-
cal acquaintance with United States
oficialdom that / woull lecline TO be-
lieVe anything from the "whole biln',"
unless extsneous proof were furnished.
1 do not mean to say there are no men
Of honor and probity IN the class, but /
believe the class to be as whole un-
trustworthy, cunning, and both capable
and willing to furnish any facts or in
formation "to order" when the interests
Of their party, real or supposed, de-
msnded such.
The forged documents lately furnished
the Bshring Sea tribunal are to the
point. The maps and documents sup
pressed with regard to the ARhburton
treaty form another. The suppression
Of the dispatch from poor little Chill by
ex-President Harrison 10 another exam
pie.
Such being the deplorRbls truth, until
/ have made further inquiry into the
matter, whilst accepting fully your bona
fides, l reject as no evidence all the
''talk" quoted, for it ia no more, neither
names places, or time being given. l

the action Of those societies with regard
to emigration is this: When young

AS IL would have been q discourtesy
to refuse the pledge thus offered, RalpI
Denham raised his glass, bowed to Ere

clous contents.
Dinner over, Ralph felt exhllarated
Ho went on dock, and II seemed to HIN
that no was walking on air.
He felt very happy and inclined Il
laugh at every little Incident that ordl.
narlly would not have attracted his
notice.
He realized that no was In danger OF
making himself ridiculous, 80 no made
his way--it seemed to him no was float
lng--to tho cabin.
Would you like to lie down, slr2"
asked Don, tho cabin boy, opening the
door Of splendldly furnished apart
mont which, to the excited Imagination
OF Ralph, appeared to be one Of more
than Oriental magnlAcenoe.
"Yesi will, though l do not feel
sleepy. That was rare wine, boy, that
you served me at dinner" said Ralph,
noddlng and laughing, yet fully aware
that he had said nothing provocative Of
hllarlty,

said Don, taking the aptaln's coat and
preparing to remove his pumps.
Very well; let me rest for q short

rarely do in the daytime, wake me In

Ralph Denham threw himself on the
luxurious couch, and as Don closed the
door there was an expression Of MINCED
pity and admiration on his face.
Captain Denham, though fully aware
that the ship was at anchor In calm
sea, felt that he was being rocked and
swayed by gentle, invisible hands.
Through the open portfolio that adj
mltted light and air to mis- room, he
heard the splash Of the ripping water
against the ship, but 1t was transformed
into music, more soothing than was ever
blown from the she'll OF triton or fell
from the seductive but treacherous lips
of the tabled mermaid.
The music and the swinging kept on
till the cabin expanded into gorgeous
arcade, down which he noated to music
of Increasing rapture, while maldens Of
exquisite form, with golden tresses that
shimmered in the rosy light, beckoned
him on, and Lea Hedges led them; he
could not be mistaken in the comedian
lips and teeth Of pearl.
What cared he now for earth? He
was in an elysium more refined and
glorious than Mahomet promised to his
faithful followers.
The earth had sank beneath him; It,.
had rolled up like vesture and passed
away, and he had become a part Of that
illlmitable space, about which he had
often thought, and the new life on which
he had entered was bounded by eternity.
is he asleep" asked Frenauld, com
ing into the cabin on tlptoe about the
middle Of the afternoon, and addressing
Don, who had been ordered to remain
In attendance on Captain Denham.
Yes, sir, dead asleep" was the reply.
Then, said Frenauld, ego on deck
and tell the captain to come down.

adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure LIQUID

dispelling colds, headaches and fevera
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

French Towu-Crlers.

In Paris in the thirteenth century
some trades had special street, anc
so shops with the same kind of goods
were neighbors. On this account
statutes were made which now read
curiously. Some of them read thus;
IF any one is in front of a Cooks
window, buying food, no other Cooks
shall call him until he has left the
window of his own accord. The fine
for this offence is five sous"
mo cook shall find fault with an
others meat If it is good. The fine
for this offence is five SOUS"
"lf person is buying goods of a
merchant, his neighbor must not
come out of his shop to show his
goods to the purchaser until he has
left the window where he was trad
ing"
The customer traded at the window
because each store had a large win
dow with blinds that opened hori-
zontally, the lower one letting down
to form counter where goods were
displayed, and the upper one project
ing like an awning to protect the
goods.
Street-venders with carts had a
better chance to advertise their
wares. They cried their goods at the
top of their voices, and dealt in such
things as fruit, vegetables, meat,
fish, flowers, old iron, old shoes, nuts,
mushrooms and cheese.
To serve the purpose of modern
newspaper advertisements, handbills,
circulars and bill-pOsters, town criers
were employed. These were sworn
officials, whose pay was fixed by law.
One of the price lists reads:
For crying ordinary wines, 5 deniers
pennies).
For crying foreign wines, IL deniers.
For crying vinegar and verjuice, A
sous.
For crying deaths, reunions of
friends, onions, peas, oil, beans, lost
objects or lost children, sous.
For crying twice the decease of an
important parsonage, SOUS
To rent cloaks, 2 SOUS.
To rent hat, 2 sous.
To rent dress, 2 sous.
Evidently it was poor trade, for a
law forbade town-criers to be bath
attendants, grave diggers or porters.
