metRllism, with the view Of awakening
the people more fully as to the impOr-
tance Of the subject. It is proposed that
a meeting Of this council be held at To-
peka during the spring to see il the
ways and means can be had to hold sew
eral Of these meetings in this stat dur
ing the summer and fall.
Well did Gen. Weaver say at this
meeting, "The battle Is on" and we may
add, it is an irrepressible confict-One
that cannot be put down or aside or com
promised, but must be fought to finish
and the right to free bi-metsllic coisage

completely win, with silver no more

Of them did not stand properly in the
class and "toe the line," she would rap
them on the toes with ball on the end

world, the stern logic Of events is master
Of ceremonies, and says to all, "toe the
line " in favor Of free bi-metsllic coinage,
with national notes for the currency,
and as a consequence, the safety, the
perpetuity Of our institutions as the re-
suit; or "toe the line on the side Of the
single gold standard, with "wild cat or
"red dog" notes for currency, with
wealth and power for the Office. holding
class, and the bond and annuitant to re-
celve an ever increasing amount on their
bonds and snnuitles, with poverty and
crime ever on the increase, until the final
overthrow comes, as come it must under
such course of events, or else the doc
trine taught in our Declaration Of Inde-
pendence is false where it says: "We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that
all men are created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with certain
inslienable rights and IL by their
Creator, no set Of men making laws for
TO- day have right to bargain away the
prosperity, the happiness Of the people OF
the next generation. So "toe the line,
you who believe in free coinage, in spite
of what Harrison said, or what Cleveland
said or may say. "Toe the line" for
free coinage, and do not for some petty
Office boy down to Cleveland, who is
now the head and front of the 'gold. bug

Cleveland's cabinet, but all chosen vas

lRn0 is now at the head Of the combined
forces Of the "gold men" Of both the re-
publican and democratic parties, the
very force, the very power that all free
coinage men have to fight; and for one
am glad he makes it so plain and raps so
hard on the "bare toes" that all have got
to get on one line or the other. "No

N"~-
Pardon me if seem over anxious about
the attitude Of the Peoples party towards
the national democratic party, There
seems to be little present danger of any
compromise or fusion with the republi-
can party. Our people all seem to un-
derstsnd freely that the republican
party ia fully committed to uphold and
defend the money power and all other
cruelty oppressive corporations. But
how stands the case as to our relations
with democratsP The latter party, 80
far as the rank and file are concerned,
entertain a provsrbial aversion to the
republican party. But do they calmly
weigh the grounds on which this aver
sion is predicated? Are they able to
state in clear language any radical differ
ence as to great national policies between
these two psrtiesH 1t win not do for
democrats to point to Jefferson and
jackson as exponents Of present demo-
cratic principles, any more than for re-
publicans to claim present allepiance to
the principles that guided Lincoln, Chase
and Sumner in 1860 to 1868. The truth
is, that both these parties are now facing
conditions that are Of modern growth
conditions that have grown up and be-
come possible, through the dereliction Of
the leaders Of both old parties.
It is true that in Kansas, and possibly
in some other states, there has been
more or less cooperation Of Populists
and democrats in Rntsgonism to repuOli-
can misrule and republican anarchy.
This cooperation we most heartily sane
tion; and so long as PopulistS remain
firm and true to those noble principles
that have achieved such marked success
to our young party, there can no harm
come of this course. Nay, more than
this; Populists can afford, in a limited
field, to divide offices with these coop
Grating democrats; but l much doubt
the propriety Of assisting any into an
Office of legislative kind-an Office en-
abling the incumbent to aid in the
further oppression Of the people, and
enthronement Of the money power. And
right here is our present imminent peril.
Many democrats thus cooperating with
Populists in Kansas are, as yet, welded
to the national democratic party; they
do not really comprehend the Stupendous
Importance of sntsgonizing and over
throwing those pernicious financial prin-
ciples on which both old parties are now
unit, so far as national platforms and
national legislation are concerned. Nor
do they yet concede that their national
leaders are hypocritical in their "tariff
reform" advocacy. Under these circum-
stances the only safe course, the only
right course, is to stand unfalteringly to
our guns. No greater harm can befsn
our fellow citizens, republicans, demo-
Gratis and Populists alike, than to shrink
one iota in the present crisis from this
manly course. The world is now look
ing to Kansas. The present economic
struggle in the United States depends,
at least for it's early success, on the idel-
ity of Populists in the maintenance,
inyiolate, of the essentials of the Omaha
platform.

There was a wild huzza from !, 1000
threats as the carriage bearing the
president and president-elect came in
sight, preceded by Grand Marshal Nc
Mahon and staff. President-elect Cleve-
land and President Harrison both raised
their hats in response to the popular
salute, but the only effect was to re-
double the enthusiasm of the multi
tudes. Slowly the first brigade of the
escort division in advance of the presi-
dental party started in measured tread
up the historic Pennsylvania avenue
towards the capitol.
The vice president-elect and the SEN
ate committee on arrangements fol-
lowed in carriages in the rear of the
president. Another wild cheer greeted
the appearance of Vice President-elect

vigor and prolonged with enthusiasm.

ing the army and the senior admiral of
the navy followed in the order named
and the second brigade escort brought
up the rear. In this order the president,
president-elect and vice president-elect
were escorted to the capitol.
The passage of the president along
the avenue was one continual ovation
of the most enthusiastic kind. The
steady tramp of superbly drilled bat
talions of regulars under the command
of Gen. Brooks forming the escort, the
suggestive rumble of the gun carriages,
and the soldierly bearing of the young
cadets all helped to keep the enthusi-
asm alive. On the extreme left of the
front rank of battery l marched a
bronzed and rugged featured veteran
who would have received share of the
plaudits on his own account had his
history been known. His name was
John Martin and ne was the only sur
vivor of the Custer massacre. The fine
appearance and splendid discipline OF
the district militia invited repeated
cheering.
The east doors of the senate wing
were opened at 10 o'clock to those who
were entitled to admission and when
the inaugural party arrived the presi-
dent and the president-elect entered
the senate wing by the bronze doors in
the east front, each accompanied by a
member of the committee of arrange

the presidents room and the president

states that Miss Ida Hewitt, who Is

train over the grounds on the opening
day Of the Exposition. She viii leave

proposition made to Miss Hewitt to
become a member Of the Brotherhood
Of Locomotives Engineers, it Is report
ed that she replied that while shecould
not find it in her heart TO become q
brother to them she would be sister
as long as she lived. The Commits
sioners are said to have had great
deal of trouble inducing her to run the
engine at the Fair as she shrank from
appearing as "a sort Of freak
It is known fact that she does not
run on her fathers road because she is
obliged to, but because she hasa love
for machinery, especially a locomotive.
She developed this trait at an early
age and had hardly reached her teens
before she was better posted on the
running and management Of . locomo-

made it life work. When she first
took hold Of throttle she was as
much at home as she is to-day, and no
