WHEN OVERMYER WAS SANE
He Was Not Alarmed About Anarchy in
Kansas.

Kansas
There is no better example Of O maj
whose nature has been sured msnhooC
has been stlfled through political disap
pointment than David Overmyer, the mar
whose nomination to an important ofic'
was wisely avoided By the Peoples party
last summer. David then acknowledged
his faith in nearly all the doctrines Gnt
methods Of the Populists, but no wanted tC
be nominated Rs . democrat, and thereby
hangs tale, the circumstances Of which
changed his political career. 1t cannot
be said that he was diligently seeking
any Office, but he was standing in con-
spicuous place to be struck by nominG'
tion for congressmsn-st-largs when he
carelessly gave an interview which, luck
lily for the Populist's, killed him of
Since that time he has grown more bit
tor each week until hS at last went tC
Washington in company with several
other political nondescripts, and poured
into Growers ears q tale Of woo about
the awful condition growing out Of the
success Of the Populists in Kansas
Apropos Of this it is well to reproduce a
letter written by Mr.. OVSrmyer to T. w,
Mitchell, Of Burlingsme, just prior to the
Wichita convention. Compare the letter
with the rot he has been unloading
lately:
"DEAR SIR: Your letter Of recent
date has been received. In answer to
your inquiry as to my view on thu plat
form adopted at ST. Louis last February,
I have this to say: | don't think l ever
saw political platform in my life that I
fully agreed with in every respect. It's
greatest merit is that it recognizes with
thrilling distinctness that the people
have a cause; that the people have great
grievances; that the people are victims
Of great wrongs; that the rapid progress
made toward the absorption of all the
wealth Of the land by the few has
brought us face to face with a condition
Of things which is indeed alarming, and
that the time has come when every we'll
wisher of his race must take his stand
brsvely against the power Of organized
and combined wealth and in favor of the
unorganized people. 1t recognizes and
points out that the assaults of consoli-
dated wealth are directed mainly along
four lines, viz: Taxation and tariff, cur
rency, transportation and land. These
are the four great political questions,
the solution of which is to determine
whether this country is to be inhabited
by a nation Of free men or race Of
slaves. The land must be held forever
by the tillers Of the soil. The discrin =
mating burdens Of taxation must be lifteG
from the back of the farmer, and he
must be permitted to reach the best
markets which his products can COM
mand in the wide world, with as little
cost for transportation as possible. The
railroads must be absolutely controlled
in the interests Of the people, and il this
can not be done in one way, it must in
another. At all events it must be done.
II believe that the railroads can be
controlled in the interest Of the people,
but it will never be done, and no step in
that direction will ever be taken while
the free-psss system exists. With passes
the railroad companies purchase the "a

Impatience Finds Vent In Storm.
Washington special:
The storm which broke in the SEN
ate Tuesday serves is an index to the
feeling of imnaticnce and resistance
which has teen gradually accumulat-
ing. Senator Sherman only amplitied
in his speech what he has been saying
privately for two weeks. and the time
may he extended further back still
In referring to Senator Hills re-
marks. Mr.. Sherman'S taunt of
the Democrats for failure to
agree among themselves has the
effect of increasing the prospect f"r u
caucus of Democratic Senators. Seven
or eight Senators on that side of the
chamber. led by Senators Butler and
Pugh. have been trying for the last
two or three days TO get their fellow
Democratic Senators to aEr. :, 70 sub
init the entire question to a party con-
ference and abide 10y the result of its
decision. and it is understood that SEN
ator German. chairman of the caucus.
has the question under advisement.
There is possibility of Il joint Dem
Ocratic caucus of both the House and
Senate. a. suggested 10y Senator Hill in
debate Tuesday and acluicsced in by
Senator Butler. All the members of
the Senate are beginning t. feel that
the present strain cannot last u great
while longer and that IL desperate ef-
fort will be made t. find relief in some
direction. The silver men court ad-
journment and appear confident that
the result would b, favOrable to them.
Senator Aldrich, ex-Chairman and at
present member of the Committee on
Rules. said the other day that the time
was not yet ripe for action on the rules,
though he thought the change might
be undertaken before Il great while. 1t
is somewhat uncertain how the COM
mittce would stand upon this question.
OF the five members the two Rcpllb-
licans. Aldrich ard Mandcrson. were,
when the question wa, last under dis
c,sSion in the Senate, favorable to u
change SO as to bring any question be-
fore the Senate t. a vote, and the three
Democrats. Blackburn. Harris and
German. were opposed. 1t is now init
mated that Blackburn has modified
his views and is in favor of liberal
c!oture. On the other hand il is
thought possible that Henderson might
oppose chang. at this time. Aldrich,
Harris and German stand as they fO:-
merly stood.

\ private letter from Washington to
the Progressive Farmer says no matter

ton may be. it is impossible not to al
