COMMITTEE TO MEET.

AT the the request Of the members
of the National Executive committee
of the Peoples party and suggestion
OF the chairmen of the state commit
tees, National Chairman Taubeneck
has called a meeting of the National
Central Committee of the Peoples
party at the Lindell Hotel, St. Louis,
Dec. % and 80, 1894. In addition to
the members of the National Commit
tee, the chairmen of the state commit
tee, members Of the "Reform Press
Association Peoples party senators
and representatives of the Fifty-third
congress, and those elected to the Fiji
ty-fourth congress, and all others who
have taken prominent part in organ
izing the party. and also those who
are willing to work and vote with the
Peoples party in the future for none
tary reform are invited.
The object of the meeting is to map
outa policy for an educational cam.
paign between now and the meeting
of the next national convention. The
committee will discuss and act upon
every phase of the present political
and industrial situation of the cOun-
try
Senator Stewart, Gen. J. B. Weaver,
ex-Gov. Pennoyer, of Oregon, and
many other leaders who are not mem
bers of the committee have promised
to be present.

ROOM FOR REFORM,

One of the reforms to which the PeO-
pies party was distinctly pledged in
case 1T secured majority in the legis-
lature was general revision of the
salaries of public officials. The fail
ure to carry the legislature has, Of
course, deprived it of the power to car
ry this reform into effect. The people
have now the Republican party to look
to for this reform and it will be inter-
esting to watch how it deals with the
question. That change in this re-
spect is needed is an undisputable
fact. The present depression, which
has reduced the incomes of all private
individuals, unless it be the bankers
and railway magnates, demands re-
vision of the salaries of public officials.
This is not only true of the counties of
Hennepin, Ramsey and St. Louis, but
it is true of almost all the counties in
the state. In the counties above
named there are officials whose emolu-
ments reach $40, 900 and even more. In
outside counties these emoluments in
many instances reach 81, 500 or more.
This is all wrong. There should be
general reduction of fees and salaries
to correspond with the times. No
county official in the state should be
paid over 1900 per year, and in tho
rural counties $1,000 net is surely suf-
ficient.
The people should demand such leg
islation next winter as will bring
about this result. The men who &C.
cupy official stations do not earn more
than the sums above named. A re-
duction of salaries all along the line
will relieve the people of heavy bur-
denS and will render the strife for pub.
lie Offices less fierce and corrupting.

will hardly be successful. While there
is no doubt that the free coinage Of
silver would be great boon to the
country, still it would not be pam
acea for all the present ills. 1t would
not bring about the government con-
troll of railways and telegraphs; it
would not do away with trusts and
and combines; it would not produce
honest elections; it would not help the
initiative and referendum. Indeed,
there are many needed reforms upon
which it would have no effect what
ever. What is wanted is solid party
of reform. This the Peoples party
can and will become.
1t may be that our present platform
needs some changes and perhaps some
planks should be eliminated, but it
will never do to reduce it to a single
one demanding the free coinage Of sill

AN ANARCHIST,

Senator Pettigrew,of South Dakota,
made Populistic speech at the ratifi-
cation meeting at Sioux Falls, after
the late election. He asserted that
the business depression was not caused
by tariff legislation, but was due to
the contraction of the currency. He
stated that the supply of money regu-
lated the price of money, just the same
as the supply of wheat regulates the
price of wheat. Lots Of wheat makes
cheap wheat, lots of money makes
cheap money and also easy to get. On
the other hand. scarcity of wheat or
money makes dear wheat or money.
Senator Pettigrew also main tanned
that the material in the dollar was of
no consequence. The real value was
in the number of dollars made. He
also advocated issuing money direct
ly to the people by the government OF
the United States and doing away with
national banks. 1t is in order now for
quack Republican newspapers and
quack Republican orators to rise up
and call Senator Pettigrew an anarch-

A COM BlNE.

1t looks as if the saloonkeepers and
the Republican party have entered
into combine, offensive and defens-
i've. 1t is we'll known fact that they
voted for Gov. Nelson almost unani-
mously. The Minneapolis Brewing
Company contributed check for $500
to the Republican city committee, and
a similar one to the Democratic COM
mittee, showing that it had fully as
friendly feeling for the Republicans
as for the Democrats.
A Republican senator-elect from
Ramsey county has already announced
his intention to introduce bill in the
next legislature reducing liquor IL
censes from $1,000 TO $500. Possibly
this is a part of the bargain with the
salOonkeepers.
Chauncy M. Depew, in recent let
ter to the CONNIE rcial Advertiser,
says: THE excise law should be so
amended as to remove the liquor ques-
ton from politics, If this is done we
shall win back the German vote and
return New York permanently to the
Republican column" How this is to
be done is explained by Morris Tekuls-
ky, ex-president Of the New York
Liquor Dealers Association, by quot
ing from proposed bill which he has
already prepared, which provides that
in every city of 10000 inhabitants any
saloon keeper may keep the side door
of his establishment open for the sale
of liquor, He further says: Fully
two-thirds of the saloon keepers in
New York City this year voted with
the Republican party. If that party
passes high license measure they will
vote the other way next year. During
the campaign he adds. ''the saloon
keepers received the personal assur-
ance of men high in the Republican
party, and authorized to speak for it,
that high license was dead" This
condition of things makes very pertin-
ent the query of Rev. Samuel G.. Smith
of st. Paul, who, in an article in the
Globe upon the subject of municipal
reform, says: whether the New York
city elections is good thing for the
Republicans will depend upon how
they bear the responsibilities of office.
1t is only mighty river that can
cleanse these Augean stables. Have
the Republicans the water power?"

CHARACTERISTIC.

Under the above heading the ST.
Paul Call of the 1st says:
"The characteristics of the Popu-
lists are made manifest by the K0lb-
ties in Alabama.
Defeated by large majority at the
polls Kolb and his followers are gath
ering at Montgomery today with arms
in their hands to enforce their claim

to preserve order, and between the
two pitched battle is not impossible.

list to rebel against law. ALI of the

Of law and in favor of the cOnfiscatiOn
of property:
"The warlike situation in Alabama
is merely party characteristic
The above statement is wholly I'M
true. Neither Mr.. Kolb nor his friends
ever intended to do anything of the
the kind, as is shown by the following
dispatch from Montgomery, Ala,
which also appeared in the Call of
the LIST:
"Mr. Manning, the leader of the
Peoples party in the house, arose to
question of privilege and character
ized as outrageous the reports that
had been sent throughout the country
that the PopuliSts would resort to
revolutionary measures in order to
seat Mr.. Kolb as governor Of
this state. The party he represent
ca were not anarchists nor revolution
lists: The reports to that effect, he
said, were without foundation in fact.
lie further said his people did not in
tend to take arms against the state
government.
Mr.. Manning then read the follow
ing resolution, passed by the Populist
members of the assembly. and asked
that it be spread upon the minutes of
the house, which was so ordered:
Resolved, By the Populist sena-
tors and representatives of the general
assembly in caucus assembled, that

ist, pirate, murderer, traitor, ETC.
What is the coun try coming to, when
Republican United States senators be-
come enthusiastically Dakota Re-
cord.
Senator Hansbrough, of Nor tn Da-
kota, has recently expressed some
what similar views, as has Senator
Powers, of Montana. The trouble
with these men is that they
stick to the plutocratic party,
very we'll knowing that it will
never adopt their views on the money
question. This leads us to doubt their
sincerity, but their expressions will go
far towards educating the people in
the right direction.

MORE BONDS.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Foster,
in recent issue, expressed the opin-
ion that another bond issue would be
made in the near future. No doubt of
it. Just as long as the financiers of
Wall street find it profitable to force
these issues, just that long will they
be kept up. They have it in their
power to deplete the gold reserve at
pleasure and they will do it whenever
they think there is any profit in it..
The New York world says that the
syndicate which secured the last issue
made clean million of dollars in the
transaction.
Patriotism is and always was at a
low ebb in Wall street.

MORE MIlLlONAlRES.

Indications point to the election of
more millionaires to the United States
senate. In addition to Steve Elkins,
Of West Virginia. W. j. Scwell, the
great railway magnate of New Jersey,
and j. A. Addicks, of Delaware, also a
millionaire, are said to be booked for
seats in the American house of lords.
These, with j. Nj. Thurston, of Ne
braska, the attorney of the Union Pa
ctic railway, who is said to be certain
of ele ctiOn, will make valuable addi-
tions to the plutocrats already there.
On the whole, perhaps it will be best
to send our own Washburn back to

Ignatius Donnelly has returned to

the death of Mrs. Donnelly. He will

to the frequent calls to lecture, at the
same time contributing extensively to
