The Troubled Waters.

EDITOR ADvocATE:-The chickering's
and contentious amongst some Of our
Populist friends is humiliating in the
extreme and is much to be deplored. 1t
is not my purpose TO enter into any con-
troversies that may arise in the party,
pro or con, but simply "a q member Of
the party / will take higher grounds 10
show the necessity Of q unity Of action
by every member Of the party In order
that we may reach that shining mark
that 65,O00O00 Of American citizens are
looking for to dsy-equRl justice to all
and special privileges to none. The Gact
that man or woman is q Populist is
primG facGe evidence that he or she is in
telligent and does not use his right Of
franchise by mere force OF habit as the
old party voter does, but uses the full
power Of volltion in his DETERMINATIONS.
These facts should teach those Of the
party who have been placed in positions
Of honor and trust that they are only on
trial, and subjsct to the decision OF the
rank and ile of the party chat are back
Of them. If any Of the party have reason
FOR complaint let them go into the con-
VentGOn Witb ttsEr ScaIpGug knife and there
fight 1t out to their hearts content; but
when 1t Is over, whatever the result of
the majority may be, leave your bloody
trophies inside the threshold OF the con.
vention ball door, IL you would gain the
Of your enemies and the re-
speot of your friends. Time will sbun-
dainty justify you il your cause lie just.
Who can tell but that the Jsffersons,
the Summers, the Stewards and the Lin
coins are yet in the back grour d of the
young party waiting for the occasion to
bring forth the man. The Omaha de-
mRnds have been proclaimed from ocean
TO ocean, and have penetrated every
hamlet in the land. The interest OF the
nation Is aroused to meet the exigencies
Of the times. The young POpulist party
Is but the snow ball that will gather to
it the great avalanche in 1896 that will
bury for ever the enemies Of this re-
public.
We live for the present and for the
future. Past events are but danger sig-
mails to us, while the enemies Of our
country use them a. beacon lights for
their guidance, as the past history Of our
country show. In the light of the
mighty events that are about to tran
Spire in this county shortly, the distant
laundering Of which can be distinctly
heard from sea to sea, we cannot stop TO
handy words with our neighbor in what
may seem to rs TO be unwarrantsd pro-
ceedlngs lest the marching millions may
pass rs BY and leave as TO fight it out ct
our leisure, which would seem to me to
be bad judgment and poor politics on
our part. ToM EVANS.

CHAPTER XIV.
SOME IMPORTANT INCIDENTS.


SOME IMPORTANT INCIDENTS.
PHILOSOPHY consists not
In airy schemes, or idle speculattons;
The rule and conduct Of all soc1alllt
Is her great province. Not In lonely cells
Obscure she turks, but holds her heavenly
light
To senates and to kings, to guide their coun-
Ctls,
And teach them to reform and bless man
kind."-THOMsoN.
Necessity now compels me to do a
thing of so disagreeable a character as
to almost make me regret having begun
this story at all. hope | may be par
doned in heaven; for the pardon Of my
readers, and particularly of my fair
readers, l fear is too much to hope. Let
them rest assured, however, that moth
ing but the sternest necesSity-nothlng
less than the fact that otherwise this
story simply cannot 60 On-could in
duce me to be guilty Of so ungraclous
a deed. | am about to take my read
ers into the dreariest and most unedify-
ing place into which poor tortured hu-
manity has ever entered and survived
"a republican meeting during the Kan
sas campaign of 1890.
Even with the overwhelming neceS-
sity which is laid upon me, could
never have brought myself to perpe-
trate this deed in all its mercllesS
cruelty; and fortunately the tortures OF
this particular meeting were somewhat
relieved by certain diversions, certain
occurrences which the managers had
not foreseen. From one of those di-
versions resulted something which had
a very important bearing upon events
in this story which are yet to be re-
lated, and | warn my fair readers that
if they wish to fully understand and
appreciate the remaining portions OF
this narrative, this chapter must not,
under any prOvOcatiOn Of dryneSs nor
of aught else, be hurried over nor
"Rkipped." l am not willing to go in
male company alone on so dull mis-
sion, and unless my fair readers give
me their solemn word for it that they
will go honestly, unfinchingly and
pleasantly through this present busi.
ness, neither sColding nor skipping"
shall lay down my pen right here and
not single line further will l write,
but shall leave them to finish the story
themselves.
Very well, then, that is agreed. But
mind now, there is to be no shirklng,
madam; every line of this chapter is to
be honestly read. With this under
standing let us proceed.
Near the close of the political COM
bat of 1890, the Hon. Bradford Horn
beck, a preacher who had quit the pull
pit for a good federal appointment,
made speech at large republican
rally held in the opera house at
Graham. Although many leading bust
ness men were present and number
of fashionable ladies were in attend
ance, the larger part of the audience
consisted of workingmen, and the
orator of the evening addressed his re-
marks almost exclusively to them. He
told some amusing stories, but his
speech was chiefly made up of dis
cussion of "the Mckinley BILL" with
an occasional reference to "Bill Nc
Kinley," and of vituperation of the
new political party and its leaders, with
some remarks, meant to be crushing,
about socialists, communists, anar-
ehists, and so on. He was, however,
an able and adroit speaker, and his
really powerful address had made
strong impression upon good many

FINANCIAL MATTERS.
Their Discussion Will Undoubtedly
Occupy Much Of the Time Of
the Senate.
MAY NOT BE CLEVELAND's,
But Some Measure Will Be Formu-
lated by the Finance Com
mitteee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-The events
of the past few days leave little room
for doubt that the financial question is
to be a prominent topic in the senate
during the present session, and there
are some facts which point to a state Of
affairs which may render the session
one of great interest. It is understood
that the instructions Of the Democratic
senatorial caucus do not go to the ex-
tent of indorsing the recommendations
of the president and Secretary Carlisle,
but only require the finance committee
to take these suggestions under consid-
GRAFTON as they would any other sug-
gestions bearing upon the question
which might come from a creditable
source. There is little doubt that the
finance committee will take the matter
up, but with what result is not so
easily stated.
In the senate at large the plan ap.
pears to commend itself to some Of the
Southern senators largely because Of
its provision for the removal of the
state bank tax.
If a bill on the lines suggested should
reach the senate it would be opposed
by the extreme free silver men who be-
lieye that if law containing such pro-
visions should be enacted it would
prove a death blow to silver.

Boatner Hopes to Get the Bill Through
Before the Holidays.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-The effort to
prevent anarchists from coming to the
United States will be resumed in the
Souse next week if Mr.. Boatner of

measure provoked an exciting contest
at the close of the last session, but its
final passage was cut off by adjourn.
ment. At that time the government
had received official notification from
France that alarge number of anarch.
lists driven from Europe were en'route
to this country. Secretaries Gresham
and Carlisle were especially anxious
to secure legislation to cut
off this influx of dangerous
characters. Senator Hill passed the
an~ti-anarchist bill through the senate,
but it met opposition from Messrs,
Warner Of New York, Goldzier of
Illinois, and had to be abandoned for
the time being. Mr.. Boatner will now
take up the contest where it was left
off, and is hopeful of securing the pass.

holidays. A it has already passed the
senate, favorable action by the house
will conclude. the legislation.

America Has More Miles Than All Other
Countries Combined.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-If the posses.
sion Of railroads and %telegraphs is a
gauge of civilization, then the United
States certainly stands far ahead of
any other nation. In railroads Amer
lea has 218, 87lH miles or 80, 900 miles
more than all Of the remaining coun-
tries Of the world combined. All Eu-
rope has but IA, $50 miles, while Asia,
Notwithstanding it immense size,
counts only 2s,S19H. Africa has Z, 212h
miles, and Australia H., 1856 miles Of
iron. The statistics are based on facts
existing at the end of 1892, and are set
out in The Annual Railway Record.
The worlds railways cost the enormous
sum of 1873, 500, 000, 600, or an average of
$121, 260. 50 per mile.
The exhibit in the case Of telegraph
lines is scarcely less striking. The
worlds mileage Of lines is 1,062, 543, of
which 546,6 35 miles are in America,

FOREIGNERS IN DANGER.

A Letter From the Chinese Capital Says .
Massacre Is Likely.
LONDON, Dec. 12.-The Globe prints
a letter from a British resident in China
occupying an important position which
brings him in touch with the manda.
rims and the masses. The writer says:
"a tragedy may occur any Gay and
when the Japanese come within sight
of the capital I feel certain that every
foreigner will be massacred. The for
eign ministers will incur a perfectly in-
sane risk if they remain there after the
ice has closed the port of Tien Tsin.
The greatest danger is in the fact that
nearly all the soldiers are members Of
the secret societies who are ready to
break out at the first chance.

WISCONSIN FARMERS BEING ROBBED
Organized Band of Thieves Operating in
Winnebago County.

Organized Band of Thieves Operating in
Winnebago County.
OSHKOSH, Wis, Dec. 10.-The farm
ers of Winnebago county are being sys-
tematically plundered of produce and
fowl by midnight marauders, who go
about with wagons stealing everything
they can lay their hands upon. Whole
roosts Of turkeys and chickens, bins Of
grain and fields of potatoes have dis
appeared in a night. Woodpiles and
rail fences have also silently slipped
away between dusk and daylight. A
year ago the same style Of theft was
carried on, and finally a gang was run
down, consisting of Oshkosh and Fond
du Lac rogues, who, by the aid Of a
wagon and handcar, which they used
on the railroads, had succeeded in de-
spelling farmers of hundreds of dollars
worth Of stuff.
