THE PuBLlC SCHOOL.

II Wa Closed To. Day. Owing to Lack
Of Fands-rAe Schosl District now
Dat Of Debt-Resources fer Next
Year.
Tho Trustees Of Haley School Dis.
tsics. at special meeting held yes.
terdav afternoon, resolved to cloee up
the public school At once. In accord.
snce with this resolution teachers aud
scholars were notified this morning
that tho school would not Do seopened
until next Sept mber, and the teachers
were notified to call 1t tho Office of
the clerk Of tho district school trustees
and receive warrants for their salaries
to date. These warrants will be paid
within 60 days, from funds that will
be received in the meantime.
The school has been sur ming since
September or just six months, aud has
cost during that tine $27aO. There
was an indebtedness II 1900 At tho
beginning Of tho school year. however,
and it had to BE- paid from this years
funds. This is not strictly legal, the
law prohibiting school districts from
mourning any Indebtedness; but the
money WAS due. AID it wss-and
proprrly--paid. The trustees have
therefore paid out $479O since the LIST
ias Of S-p,emhrr last. But for this
old debt the school could have been
run for the full yesr Of 10 months.
During the pact two years our
school affairs have heen ia . deplor.
able condition. This was mainly due
to tho wav in which the school funds
were apportioned, one>half being
divide d equally between the districts.
and one. half between al tho pupils,
or "per capita" To Offset this out.
rsgeous wrong the people Of HALEY
subscribed $4,000 last year to maintain
the school. This was in addition to
the State and county levies, to the
one per cent. bond tax. and to the
special tax OF one PER cent. With
this $1,000 the school was kept going
four months.
This year the trustees will only ask
for a special tax Of ! Of one per cent,
and they will en''eavos to refund the
$500 which we have been pay ing
each year by redeeming one aud pay
ing the interest on al, OF tho bonds
issued to build the schoolhouse. II

THE PEOPLES PLATFORM.
Adopted in National Convention At
Omaha, July 4, 1892.


Assembled upon the 10th anniversary of the
Declaration OF independence, the Peoples
party of America in th,ir first national con
vention, invoking upon 4 cir action the bless
ing of Almighty God, put. forth III the name
and on behalf of the people If this country the
following preamble and declaration of princi-
pies:
The conditions which surround US Justify
our action; we meet in the midst of nation
brought to the verge of moral, political and
material ruin. Corruption dominates the bal
lot box, the legislatures, the congress, and
touches even the ermine of the bench. The
people are demOralized; most of the states
have been compelled to isolate the voters ut
the polling places in order to prevent universal
intimidation or bribery. The newspapers are
largely subsidized or muzzled, public opinion
silenced, business Frustrated, our homes COW
cred with mortgages, labor impoverished and
the land concentrating in the hands of the
capitalists. The urban wOrkmen are denied
the right of organization for self protection;
imported pauperiZed labor beats down their
wages: hireling standing army, unrecog-
nZed by our laws, is established to shoot them
down, AID they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions. The fruits of the toll of
millions are boldly stolen to build up colossal
fortunes for a few, unprecedented In the his
tory of mankind. and the possessors of these,
in turn. despisc the republic and endangGr
liberty From the same prolific womb of gov
eminent al injustice we breed the two great
classes tramps and millionaires.
The national power to create money is APP
propriated to enrich bondholders; vast pub
lie debt, payable in legal tender currency, has
been funded into gold bearing bonds thereby
adding millions to the burdens Of the people.
Silver. which has been accepted as coin since
the dawn of history, has been demonetzed to
add to the purchasing power of gold by de-
creasing the price Of all forms of property as
well as human labor. The supply Of currency
is purposely abridged to fatten usurers, bank
rupt enterprise and enslave industry.
A vast conspiracy against mankind has been
organized on two continents, and 1t Is rapidly
taking possession Of the world. If not met
and overthrow at once it forebodes terrible
social commissions, the destruction of civilza-
ton or the establishment of an absolute des-
potism.
We have witnessed for more that quarter
of a century the struggles Of two great politi-
cal parties for power and plumber, while griev-
Gus wrongs have been inflicted upon suffer
ing people. We charge that the controlling
influences dominating both these parties have
permitted the existing dreadful conditions to
develop without serious efforts to prevent or

corn is laid by and grows until the
vines reach from hill to hill, so that
one can scarcely get through the
fields. If you try to cut the corn up
to save the fodder you will have to
cut it at both ends, and man walk

the vines.

seeds which he buys and refuse those

10 help us TO determine wnerner we are to
have republic to administer before we differ
as to the conditions upon which it is to be ad'
mnistered, believing that the forces Of reform
this day organized will never cease to move
forward until every wrong ls remedied and
equal rights and equal privileges securely es-
tablisiied for al the men and women OF this
country.
We declare, therefore
That the union of the labor forces of the
United States this day contaminated shall be
permanent and perpetual-may it's spirit enter
into all hearts for the salvation Of the republic
and the uplifting of mankind.
Wealth belongs to him who creates it, and
shall he The Of r wDrf
and civic labor are the same; their enemies
We believe that the time has come when the
railroad corporations must either own the peo-
pie or the people must own the railroads. and
should the government enter upon the work of
owning and managing any or all railroads we
should favor an amendment to the constitution
by which all persons engaged in the government
service shall be placed under civil service
regulation of the most rigid character, SO as
to prevent the increase of the power Of the
national administration by the use of such
additional government employees.
We demand a national currency, safe, sound
and flexible issued by the general government
only; full legal tender for all debts. public
aDd private, and that without the use of bank
ing corporations; just. equitable and efficient
means of distribution, direct to the people, at
a tax not to exceed per cent. per annum, to
be provided as set forth in the subtreasury
plan of he Farmers Alliance, or some better
system. so by payments in discharge of its
oblig; for public improvements
We demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold at the present legal ratio Of
10 to /.
We demand that the amount Of the circulat-
ing medium be speedily increased to not less
than fifty dollars per capita.
We demand a grad income tax.
We believe that the moneys OF the country
should be kept as much as possible in the
hands of the people, and hence we demand
that all national and state revenues shall be
limited to the necessary expenses of the gov
eminent economically and honestly admins
tered.
We demand that postal savings banks be es-
tabished by the government for the safe de-
post of the earnings of the people and to facil-
itate exchange.
Transportation being a means Of exchange
and public necessity, the government should
own and operate the railroads in the interest
of the people.
The telegraph and telephone, like the post
office system, being necessity for the trans
mission of news, should be owned and oper-
AZ ed by the government in the interest OF the
people.
The land, including all the natural sources
Of wealth, is the heritage of all the people, and
should not be mOnopoliZed for speculative pur-
poses, and an alien ownership of land should
be prohibited. All lands now held by rail-
roads and OF her corporations in excess of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned 3v
aliens should be reclaimed by the government
and held fuI actual settlers only.

us any substantial relief. They have agreed
together to ignore in the coming campaign
every issue bat one. They propose to drown
the outcries If a plundersd people with tie
uproar of a sham battle over the tariff, So tina;
capitalists. corporations, national banks, rings,
trusts, watered stock, the decentralization of
silver and the oppression of the usurers may
all be lost sight of. They propose to sacrifice
our homes. lives and children on the altar Of
Mammon; to destroy the multitude in order
to secure corruption funds from the million
aire
Assembled on the anniversary of the birth
day of the nation, and filled with the spirit of
the grand generation who established our indie
pendence, we seek to restore the government
of the republic to the hands of 1.-The plain peo-
ple,r with which class it originated.
We assert our purposes to be Identical with
the purposes Of the national constitution-to
form a more perfect Union establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general welfare
and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our pOsterity."
We declare that this republic can only en-
dure as a free government while built upon the
owe of the whole people for each other and
for the nation; that it cannot be pinned tn
gether by bayonets that the civil war Is over,
and that every passion and resentment which
grew out OF it must die with it, and that we
must be in fact, as we are in name, a united
brotherhood of free men.
Our country finds itself confronted by con-
ditions for which there is no precedent in the
history of the world. Our annual agricultural
productions amount to billions of dollars in
value, which must within a few weeks or
months be exchanged for billions of dollars of
commodities consumed in their production.
The existing currency supply Is wholly made
Quate to make this exchange. The results are
falling prices, the formation of combines and
rings and the impoverishment of the producing
classes. We pledge ourselves that II given
power We will labor to correct these evils by
wise and reasonable legislation, in accordance
with the terms of our platform.
We believe that the powers of government

HARRIsRURG, June 15-This CITY seems
to be acquiring fame rs headquarters fo1
peonle desirous of ending their existence by
suicide A repetition of the Rothermel
case, still fresh in the prrlic mind, was
brought to light yesterday afternoon when
Oliver johnson, of 71S Cherry street, Pitts
burg, while strolling around Island park
came across a satchel. Opening it his fears
were confirmed on reading the following
written on a note book;
of, as Is probable, my body shall be
stranded on the shadows in the river, toss
il into the nearest hole and cover it over
give no more notice or care than would
the bay should the waters of the river
kindly and mercifully carry my worthless
carcass so far
Examining the contents of the satchel
still further, Mr.. johnson found that the
mans name was Samuel Ross Sperry; that
he lived at 2240 North Sixteenth street,
Philadelphia, and that he was an agent for
the firm of E. X. Hum & Co., wholesale
lightning rod dealers of 8 Market street,
Pittsburg. His last sale had evidently
been made in Altoona according to his
order book. There was also letter ad-
dressed to his wife at the above address in
Philadelphia, which MIR. johnson quickly
turned over with the satchel and contents
to Chief OF Police Kautz
Ag in the case of Rothermel Chief Kautz
opened the letter to Mrs. Sperry, which had
been begun at Pittsburg on June I'd, and
finished either in Altoona on June II, or
this city day or so later. In it Sperry
stated that fate and even the elements
were against him and that he would have
INN, h,iI - l,,l
not a kind friend came along and given
him assistance and words of encourage
menC From Altoona he writes that his
time has come and the struggle which has
been so hard would soon be over He
stated that Mr.. Hum had promised to see
him in Altoona, but had not fulfilled his
promise. He gave it as his belief that he
was crazy and asked his wife to forgive and
forget His children, he stated, had al
ready done the last. 1t is signed 'Your
