THE OMAHA ORDINANCE.
StatesmenWa Their Advice on the Desert

Air.
EDITOR ADVoCATE:-I understand that
some members of the Shawnee county
Peoples party committee have gone into
the manifesto business, and are going to
issue an address telling the state central
committee and the Populists Of Kansas
what they ought to do to be saved.
Their advice, am informed, is that the
state committee embody in the call for q
state convention what they call the
Omaha ordinance, and that the local
committee follow suit.
It viii be strange il the Shawnee
county people do not address themselves
to the national committee and to the
Populists OF the United States. It
would have had just As much effect, and
it would be just as appropriate as 1t was
for the Omaha convention to dictate
rules by which the people Of Kansas or
Of any other state should abide, in their
political work.
This Omaha ordinance was doubtless
conceived in patriotic spirit, but in
some respects it is 8 very foolish thing.
The trainers Of it wanted to guard
against the evil OF persons in Office being
allowed to have any voice or influence in
the convention which names candidates
for their successors in Office. No state
officer, or RppOintee Of state officer, or
any person holding q position subOrdi-
nate to the state officer or his Rppointse,
should take part in a state convention,
or q primary caucus or convention
which leads to the selection Of delegates
to the state convention. The same rule
should be held good with regard to the
makeup OF county and other conven-
tions. That is all there should be to
this dictation.
Now, the negative side. No state
committee has right to bar any other
class Of persons, even though they hold
"ofics or position Of profit, trust, or
emolumsnt" separate and apart from
the state administration, from
taking part in state conventions, or the
conventions which select delegates to
such conventions. For example, men,
bers Of the Legislature, county, township,
and municipal officers, as we'll a. federal
officers il there were any who were
Populists, are just as eligible TO take
part in the naming Of q state ticket for
their party as any other citizen can be.
This Ia common sense and 1t is justice,
and there 10 not one Populist out Of
twenty that will take exception to the
proposition.
The trouble with some Of our Shaw
nee county committeeman Ia that they
are inclined to waste their energy on the
universe when they might use it with
good effect Of home. WHAT this county
needs is more educational work and less
wrangling and fault finding.

Pointers for Speakers.

sent few political points which think
to some extent have bsen neglected. I
suppose you get many different kinds Of
cranky and foolish letters, 80 / will not
bother you with much prefRce.
In the first place, think the lecturers
and speakers on reform politics lack ain-
plicity and are not to the point. Iapesk
for the common lsboFing man. One
speaker in q mild way condemns the
great achievements in the way Of inn
proved and lsbor-ssving machinery.
Now, l don't believe that wins any votes.
We can't remedy that, and for my part /
am proud Of the scientific advancement;
and there is plenty of work in the United
States to-day to give every man eight
hours work per day, with all the inn
proved machinery, il there was money
enough in CircufsslSn to carry the work
on.
Another speaker, in addressing CITY
audience, dwells too much on the hagd
lot Of the poor farmer. Now, failed az
farming; the main cause was big inter
eat, and can appreciate that part OK the
lecture But that does not win votes In
the olty. The average lsborsr thinks
the farmer is oil right, and that any
thing that is to his interest and causes
him to get better prices for his products
will cause the laborer, in direct or in
direct way, to pay more for his living.
Simplicity ia what we nsed. For in
stance, and to give you an idea, have
been sgitating my favorite, the sub
treasury plan, and have been accused by
my fellow-workmen in this way.
What good would it do you il the gov
eminent did loan money on real estate
at per cent? You have no land; you
could get none of it, etc. They must be
shown in a plain way that the first
thing to be considered in every branch
Of business is the interest on invest
ment; that they pay interest on the
property they rent, on the clothes they
wear, from the time the raw material
leaves the producer until the Sims they
buy it to wear; the same on bread and
meat, from the time it leaves the pro-
ducer until it is retailed to them; then
maybe they could realize that the differ.
ence Of per cent. and 10 per cent,
would be some in their favor.
Then think Of the industries and i'm
provements on the eve Of construction,
people only holding back on account Of
the scarcity Of money and high rate OF
interest. This would be the best coun-
try on earth il that one plank Of the
Peoples platform was law; everybody
would have plenty OF work and plenty Of
money. claim that every man whohas
reached the age Of 35 years, and has
made an attempt, ought to be living un-
der his own roof. AlRsl how many do?
According to the statistics of 1890
mortgaged.cursed Kansas pays over e2l,.
100000 interest per annum, most Of
which goes TO Europe, or the east. Now,
il she paid at the rate Of per cent, in
stead of, say, 0 per cent, on an average,
she would pay 100000, and that
amount, through the sub treasury plan,
would be utilized to the benefit OF the
people, so that virtually she would not
feel her interest at ALL Is that rightl

TO Be ENLARGED
The Addition to the Boston Store to
be Rapidly Pushed.

The building plans for the proposed adj
dition to the Boston store will probably
be filed with the city inspector OF build
ings by the end of this week.
The firm has already secured
the permit to erect a staging and an en-
CINE boiler for building purposes and that
part of the work is nearly completed.
The delay in the preliminary work for
the addition itself was caused by
a miscalculation as to the thick
ness of the old outer walls.
1t was discovered that the heavy masonry
did not extend up SO far as had been sup
posed, and it was necessary to change the
original plans and to allow for an addi-
tional height of the iron columns.
The plan, as so far completed, is for q
2b-story addition on top OF the old
building at the corner of West
minister and Union streets, and the entire
iron front on Westminster street, put W
20 years ago, is to be taken down N q

A CURIOUS TALE.
A Wealthy Man Whose Brother Had
Him Kidnapped Arrives Home.
BIZ The Associated Press.

A FRANCISCO, July 31.-The Examiner
saws this morning. Among the passen-
gers who arrived on the Gaelic was Il. Nj.
Byers. a rich iron manufacturer OF Pitts
burg, who came in company win
DIR. Samuel A. Boyd, a physician who has
lately been travelling with him. Accord
ing to the stories circulated, Byers had
some time been abroad because OF Ill
health. In fact some Of the stories
held that he was NOT in his right mind.
Besides. as was stated, Byers' brother who
ia his partner in the iron business In
Pittsburg was charged with being anxious
TO keep him abroad, there being a couple
OF million dollars concerned in 1t.
According to this story, Byers was
Shanphaied from his home two years ago.
His wife was in great grief and besought
the brother to give some clew as to her
husbands whereabouts. This he would
moi do. She then engaged detectives,
| supplied them plentifully with money and
urged them to use every endeavor to hnd
him. They, through their agencies,
searched throughout the u, s. without
avail.
A wear ago they succeeded in locating
him in Japan. When the detectives
arrived there, however, Byers was
gone. The detectives sent 10 prinS
him home followed him TO Australia,
China and to the Hawaiian Islands. The
sick man was finally discovered in Japan.
The wife's detectives discovered by this
time that Byers' brother had been using
detectives, and, furthermore, that he had
a doctor engaged TO travel with the miss
ing man.
Necessary legal papers were procured
and Mrs. Byers' detectives took the In
valid in charge and started back WITT
him. All went well till he reached
Honolulu. There the detective employed
by his brother endeavored to prevent theil
coming any further. He succeeded III
getting away, however, and there was M
more trouble until Byers and the detec'
tive arrived here yesterday.
After some controversy between detec
tives representing the different interests
Byers was taken east on last nights over
land, thwarting the efforts OF his brother
who was trying to get out a haDea
corpus writ. =
The ailing man, who has been so loni
abroad in many distant parts OF Tn
world, is said to be worth between sl,OOO,
600 and g, OOO, 600. He is interested In ex
tensive iron works at both Pittsburg AM

GOLD SHIPPERS EXCITED,
Bp The Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 31.-The report OF the
robbery of the cask OF gold, shipped from
this city by the French steamer La lou
raine. has caused considerable excite
ment among the gold shippers.
At the Office OF the French Line 1t was
said that no news OF the robbery had been
received at the New YORK
office. 1t was learned that there
had been three. consignments OF gold
by La Touraine. Two consignments OF
20 casks each, the value OF which was s2OOO,-
600. shipped by Lazard Freres OF this
city, were consigned to Lazard Freres
Gle Paris. One additional shipment
of ten casks was made by Messrs. Heidel-
bach Ickelheimer & Co. to the Credit
Lyonaise, and was valued at 100000.
These three consignments were deliv-
cred safely on board La Touraine and re-
ceipts were given by the receiving
clerk on the dock and also by the
second captain of the steamer. Duplicates
of these receipts were then forwarded tC
the office of the French Line, where they
remain on file.
No theory as to how the robbery wa
committed could be advanced by tn
agents of the steamer. The specie, the!
say, is invariably placed In Tn
