WORK OF PEOPLES PARTY.
Con. James b. Weaver Tells Of Its Aims
And Purposes.

Gen. James b. Weaver Tells Of Its Aims
pnd Purposes.
Gen. James B. Weaver last night TOOK the
part Of the peoples party in the debate ar
ranged by the Chatham Literary Society OF
Grace Baptist Church of Philadelphia. which
has for its purpose the discovery OF whether
the church, the republican. the democratic or
the peoples party offers the greatest practical
benefit to the workingman. After he had been
introduced by A. W. Wright Gen. Weaver 90.
cupied two hours in telling what the republican
and democratic parties had not done for the
workingman and what the peoples party pro-
poses to do for him.
1.-THE peoples party he said, "belisves that
Christianity is more than a lot Of theories, and
that 1t can be carried into practical politics.
We are today in the midst Of great reyolu-
ton, greater than any have ever Witnessed,
and saw the last one in this country and knew
what it meant"
Gen. Weaver said that revolution was taking
place, and the people were no longer being de-
ceived. He said that the great battle would
have to be fought against the corporate and the
money powers of this country.
Gen. Weaver then paid his respects to Col.
Wat.erson, when in his speech from the same
platform he said: I'VE are all workingmen."
Drawing picture Of foreign oppression Of
the poor, Gen. Weaver said: 81 have no doubt
there were among the nobility there those who
said like Mr.. Watterson, We are all working
men, arraign Col. Watterson, much a. ] ad-
mire and respect him, for lodging the whole
question"
He endeavored to show that the present sys..
tom Of political economy is without God and
without hope in the world; that the govern
ment is the people; that tbs banking system d
expressing the poor: that they are themselves
to blame, for they permit 1t; that the Consttsu'
ton was made with the great provision Of th<
forefathers for the people.
Gen. Weaver argued in favor Of more mousy
in circulation, repeal Of the present LAW
regulating commerce, the taking Of the rail
roads out Of politics and operating them fol
the benefit Of the people, likewise the telegraph

In The courts in Harrisburg, Pa. over financial
matters. After their marriage in Washington,
In January, 1891. the couple took up their res
idencs IN Harrisburg in q home on Front street,
which was named by Mr.. Chrisman "villa

BROTHER without his receiving valuable oon-
siderntion. She further says that Chrisman
had the deed to the property made in his name
without her knowledge.
Chrisman and his sister have filed an answer
denying everything and averring that the deed
to the property Was made in Chrisman's name,
with his wife's consent. Furthermore. Chris

a year ago, created q coed deal Of q sensation
at the time in view of the fact that she was
