PopuLIsrs TALKING AGAIN.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 5.-The state
convention of populists was held here
today. The convention was very dem7
onstrative and backed up its enthusl-
asm by raising the nucleus of cam
paign fund of $500. The principal
work of the convention wa sthe adop-
ton OF a platform which declares its
lfealty to the Omaha platform Of 1892.
and says that the present stringency
is due to the subservency of the two
old parties to the Eastern Nancy oil
garchy. The silver law Of 1873 is de-
clared to have been surreptitiously
stolen in on our. statute books by po-
iltical sneak-thieves and President
Cleveland is declared to be using the
tray their constituencies" and that
"the two old parties are in conspiracy
with Wall street to steal mortgaged
farms, railroads. and other property
and to bankrupt the nation" The
plank on silver says that the one ov-
ershadowing, all-absorbing issue be-
fore the American people today is the
question whether the debtors of the
United States shall be allowed to pay
their debts in money of the constitu-
Iion, or whether their homes and
property shall be confiscated for the
benefit of pirates. On prohibition the
platform demands the retention of the
present law. The following ticket was
nominated: Governor, j. M. Joseph of
Creston; lieutenant governor, e. A. OFT
of Des Moines; supreme judge, A. w.
c. Weeks of Winterset; railroad COM
missioner, John Idle of Towns; school
superintendent, Mrs. e. ]. Woodrow
of Marshalltown.

SENSIBLE WORDS.

Washington, Sept. Sat the Pam
American Medical congress today, DR..
Gihon, medical director of the United
states navy, read a paper dealing With
hygiene, chiefly. In the coudse Of his
remarks he said:
Immigration is a huge pestilence
sewer communicating our once pure
lake of American people. The facts
thow that II per cent. of the popula-
tion is foreign, while so per cent. OF
the inhabitants of our asylums and
hospitals is foreign. Our race is dy-
ing out. Our American women bear nc
more children. Who is to take their
place? Americans no longer nurse their
young. How can we prevent 1t? Give
us a national scientific body. The bet
terment of the race will soon follow.

pENNoyER TO THE RREAoH.


Goyenor Sylvee AS 4-d....Jyer Of Ore
gon. who has distinguished himself by
fragrant and gratuitous discourtesy to
TWO separate presidents Of the United
States, has appeared as the champion
of financial and commercial secession.
He wants to see the young and pro-
gressive West cut loose from the effete
East and form an alliance, offensive
and defensive with the South, the ef-
feet of which would be to cause the
wharves of New York to crumble
away with dry rot and the grass to
grow in the streets Of the now metrop-
oils of America
II does not thus far appear that any
body is opposing the scheme fathered
by Pennoyer and accepted in its entlr-
cty by Governors Stone of Missouri
md Lewehng Of Kansas, Governor Nc
Graw of washington does not favor 1t
lin fact, he denounces 1t as a new va
riety of secession and other Western
governors are not at all enthusiastic
over 1t, but that will not set Pennoyer
hack in the least, for he has a very
clear and we'll defined notion that any
body who contradicts him is an idiot
and o donkey.
Governor Pennoyer has left out OF
his scheme of secession one factor, and
that is that the business men OF Ore
gon, or of any other state, are not In
the habit of going to the executive for
advice as to how they shall conduct
their business They buy what they
need in their business where they can
get the best bargains, and there Is no
sentiment about the matter at all. IL
Galveston can undersell New York.
they will buy In Galveston; II not, they
will stick to their old lines Of trade.
we do not look for Governor Pen
noyer to take Oregon out Of the Union.
for there is no secession sentiment be-
hind him. lie. personally, may be n
disunionist Of the first water, but no
enc man, even though he be Sylvester
Pennoyer, can venture to bid open de-
hance to the Federal government, nor,
on the other hand, can he successfully
defy the established laws Of trade and
commerce. New York and Chicago and
Philadelphia and Boston may be cor
morants seeking to devour at one gulp
the great and fiourishing state Of Ore
gcn, but the defense Of the state is to
be sought In the sentiment and dispo-
sltion Of the people, not in the bom-
bastlc pronunciamentos Of Governor
Pcnnoyer.--San Francisco Chronicle.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE silver men
in the senate today sprung a surprise
on the repeal forces in the declaration
of Stewart that hereafter a quorum OF
the senate would have to be present
when the senators spoke upon the sill
YER question. If the opponents of re-
peal insist upon a quorum being pres
ent at all times 1t will be new move
ard may seriously interfere with the
program of the friends of repeal. Sub
stantially, the entire day in the senate
was consumed by Stewart, republican,
of Nevada, who took a positive ground
against the repeal of the Sherman act,
until silver was remonetized. The vote
of the senate to proceed to the con-
sideration of executive business this
afternoon was the first setback the
repeal men have thus far sustained in
the senate The vote was as follows;
Yeas: Allen, Bate, Berry, Butler, Call,

pervision of the secretary of education,
who within three years after the pass
age of the act shall cause to be con-
structed a college of scientific learning
in which shall be taught all classic
and professional studies, arts, etc, to
be known as the scientific university
of the Red, White and Blue Cross The
bill appropriates $1O,OOOO00 to construct
the college. Eight millions more are
appropriated to create an endowment
to be known as the scientific college
fund. The secretary of the treasury
is directed to purchase aluminium TO
the total amount of appropriations and
coin in denominations of one cent to
twenty dollars
During the meeting of the senate
committee on finances this morning,
there was an informal discussion of
the policy to be pursued with refer
ence to the measures now before the
senate which have been reported by
this committee. Senator VOORHEES, an
nounced his determination to push the
repeal bill, as rapidly as possible, and
indicated. that this would be done at
least for the present without reference
to any other bills which the committee
had under consideration. Senator Har-
ris also made the announcement in the
meeting in behalf, it is supposed, OF
the opponents of the repeal bill, to
the effect that hereafter it was his pur-
pose to demand at all times that there
shall be quorum in the senate.
