Observations Taken in Several Progressive
States

Observations Taken In Several Progressive
States.
PEOPLES PARTY HEADQUARTERS,
WASHINGTON, March 81, 1894.
CALIFORNIA.
The Trades Unions, Farmers Alli-
ance and Peoples party Of California
have all joined hands at the Joint Con-
gress Of Labor council held at San Fran
cisco. February 20 and q.
Chairman Wardsll writes, "Our toilers
on farms, in factories and mines will
unite for the common cause. We have
decided to call for popular subscrip-
tion for the Oregon Gcampaign to send
two or three speakers to that state next
month. The first regiment OF
the 'on to Washington peace army
camped before my house on the 10th
inst. They came and left in perfect
order. You all understand that it is not
an F. A. & I. u, q Trades Union or
Populist move, but an independent free
for all aggregation. To see them march
ing is an object lesson never to be for
gotten. A hundred orators could not
affect in q week what they do by marching
by in silence.
PEOPLES PARTY CLUBS.
Since the meeting OF the national
committee Of st. Louis, head quarters
has received reports from $40 Peoples
party clubs. We earnestly request all
Peoples party clubs who have not done
40 to send in the names Of their presi.
dent and secretary with the member
ship of the club, so that we can form
systematic and compact organization for
the coming campaign. We further re-
quest that every Populist lend help
ing hand towards organizing the Indus
trial legion and il you can not organize
the legion, then organize Peoples party
clubs. We must prepare for the fight
and get our literature among the people
and this can best be done through an
organization.
GOVERNOR M'KINLEY IN OREGON.
News has reached head quarters from
Oregon that Governor Mckinley will
stump that state for the republican
ticket during the month of May. This
means that the republicans are going to
continue to try to "drown the outcries
Of q plundered people with sham battle
over the tariff" How do the silver re-
publicans of the West like to have an
eastern gold-bug instruct them how to

II Governor Mckinley goes to Greg on,
he will be followed by Senator Stewart
Of Nevada, and il the gentleman from
Ohio desires q joint discussion, he can
have it to his hearts content.
LITERATURE.
The department Of literature at head
quarters is receiving orders for hum
dreds of copies Of Congressman Psnce'a
silver speech and income tax speeches

Jones' speeches are in great demand
The committee has completed arrange
ments to send out 100000 copies Of these

water.
As soon as he was released he came to
this city. Sunday night he slept in a
wagon, and last nigh he wandered over
20 the Bowery. Justice Martin committed
him 70 the Gerry Society, which will

NO ARBITRAGE BUSINESS.
Stock Exchange Governors Decide

The Governing Committee Of the New

put a stop to the arbitrage business
which has become 80 common between
this city, Boston and Philadelphia.
After a protracted session last night
II adopted the following resolutions by
a vote of 80 to Z:
Resolved. FIrst-That In the Judgment OF this
committee the sending of continuous quotations by
members OF this Exchange from the floor Of the
Exchange Is detrimental TO the interest and wei
fare OF the Exchange and 10 prohibited.
second-That the so-callsd 'arbitrage business
or trading between this Exchange and that OF any
other city In the United States, as at present con.
Quoted. Is detrimental to the interest and welfare
OF this Exchange and is prohibited.
T~hird-That the OF Arrangements be
and they are hereby authorized to see that the
that the principles therein expressed are enforced.
The arbitrage people fought the meas
ure bitterly. They say that 1t Is easy
to pass resolutions, but an entirely diff
ferent thing to carry them out. Just
what steps the Board will take will be
watched with interest.
The practice has been carried on
since the advent OF the long-distance
