COMING INTO CAMP.
Reform Organizations Everywhere Join

Reform Organizations Everywhere Join
the Peoples Party.
The Poor Man, party" an organ
ization having its origin in this, the
new Eighteenth congressional district
of Illinois, was born few days since.
It's first announcement caused some
merr,ment at the expense of its organ
izers, but the strength it is exhibiting
is now causing considerable comment
among politicians who keep an eye
out for party purposes. During the
week seven lodges, with an average
membership of 100 each, have been or
ganized, and the promoters are push
ing forward in a manner that indi-
Gates and assures many thousands of
signatures to the principles advocated
by the new political party.
Among the resolutions OF the declar..
alton Of principles is one co the effect
that nc man possessing to exceed
81, 500 worth of real estate and 81, 900
worth Of personal property is eligible
tomembership. Lawyers are ineligible.
Similar organizations have been
started in many parts of the country.
The purposes being good, the clubs
naturally fall into line with the Ia
tional Peoples party.

Populists Mean Business.

The Kansas Populists, in response
to call from Cheever alliance, held a
meeting to condemn the Abilene oc-
cupation tax ordinance. The county
was well represented, but less than a
hundred took part
Resolutions condemning Abilene's
city government and calling on the
council to repeal the license tax on
horse buyers and dealers in produce
were adopted under threat of trading
elsewhere. The council refused to
have any representative present and
will pay no attention to the action.
Dickinson county received and re-
jected the Santa Fe's new tax offer to
pay one-half under protest. As all
the tax is now due, payment in full,
with penalty, is demanded.

CIVILIZATION.

How 1t Penetrates Into the Dark Re-
cesses OF Africa.
The British victory" over the Ma
tabeles, like most OF Briton's achieve
ments in heather lands, seems to have
been the result Of superior equipment
rather than of superior bravery or
tactics. At any rate, letter from an
English officer who took part in one
Of the most important battles would
seem to show that if the savages had
been properly armed they would have
made a much more stubborn resistance
to the white intruders. This officer,
describing an early morning attack
by the Matabeles upon the so-called
Victoria column, writes in a private
letter:
When got on wagon could see
that the whole of the open space in
front of me was covered with niggers,
all rushing toward our lager, many
Of them firing at US from behind the
first line. 1t was our own native con-
tingent making for the cover of our
guns, which were stopped for short
time to let them up alongside of the
cattle. Many of the Mata beles, taking
advantage Of this, came up quite close
to the lager. but were driven off as
soon as our rifles commenced again,
which they did as soon as possible.
The Maxims and other machine guns
were hard at it, and the bullets were
whiStling, whizzing and humming
among US from every direction, and l
believe we all felt in a very lively
mood. Their first attack was repealed
in about quarter of an hour.
After time the Matabeles made an
other and more determined rush for
our lager, coming on from all sides
with the front covered by riAemen in
skirmishing order By the time the
second attack was repealed daylight
had come in and we could see plainly
what was happening in our front,
Altogether the Matabele impi made
three general attacks on our lager
within the space of two hours and a
half, and were repealed with heavy
losses each time. and it took another
hour and a half to drive them out OF
the bush and hills in the vicinity OF
the lager. They left few hundred
dead on the field, carrying off most Of
their wounded, hanging many of the
latter to trees and throwing them into
the river to drown when they thought
there was no chance Of their being
able to live.
This is The conduct Of brave and de
termined men fighting for theil
country. 1t is against such foes thai
England has most often been arrayed
and more often than not with all the
moral right and equity on the Other
side and with no other justification
than that which actuated the war OF
the Matabeles-namely, private anC
national greed. The empire on whicl
the sun never sets is cemented with thu
blood of patrio;s-and not British
patriots, either.

Dir. Meredith has been the mainstay oil

the stringency OF money matters he il

Sc. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20.-The en-
tombment of the remains of the late
Gar Alexander III took place in the
cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul. A
thick fog enveloped the city but the
populace was ast.r at the earliest posi-
BILE hour and vt the same time the
troops detailed to take part In the
funeral ceremonies commenced moving
towards the position Of assignment Of
them. The cathedral was packed with
people, including representatives of all
the imperial and royal families of Eu.
rope. The funeral services were CON
Quoted by the metropolitan of st. Peters
burg, and by the metropolitan of Mos
COW. The former conducted the czarina
to her place near the coffin, which re-
posed in state in the center of the
cathedral. The car and the grand
dukes and the members of the royal
families present took up positions on
the right Of the coffin, and the many
military officers in attendance were
grouped behind the bier. On the left
were the foreign ambassadors and min.
listers and their stats, while grouped
around in different parts of the cathe-
dral were countless delegations from
Russian cities and elsewhere, including
the numerous delegations from France.
The general services began at 1880
q. m, and lasted until 4 o'clock. Over
thirty members of the royal families of
Europe attended by glittering suites
were present.
After the long service the czarina,
the car and others present took O last
farewell of the remains OF Alexander
III. The ear then laid the imperial
mantle over the body and the coffin was
carried by the czar and certain Of the
princes to It's tomb.
The most impressive portion of the
ceremony was at the lowering of the
late cars remains into the vault by
high civil officers Of the government.
AS the coffin disappeared from view the
loud booming of cannon and the sal
voes fired by platoons of infantry from
the adjoining fortress reverberated
through the church, mingling with the
words OF the burial service, and the
lowering of the mourning flag and the
hosting Of the ordinary imperial stand.

is well understood, was here Thursday
morning. In his figuring he puts the
vote of the state at $1,000. OF these be
gives the republicans $4,000, the, popu-
lists 5000, and the democrats only
5000. This gives the republican state
ticket a plurality Of 1900 and a clean
majority over all of 1900. The latest
heard from Chairman Basford he puts
the vote at $4,000. The republicans he
gives 10000; the popullsts 5000, and
the democrats only 5000. This would
give the republicans a plurality Of 1000
and a majority over all OF 5000. The
republicans gain heavy over two years
