Striking employees Of the Pullman
shops stayed at home yesterday or went
to church. No business Of any kind was
transacted and the day passed in uni
form quiet. Rev. w. H. Cawardine
preached in the Pullman Methodist
church in the evening, taking for his
text Luke 1877 "The laborer is worthy Of
his hire"
After referring to the strike among
the workmen as the one question Of the
hour, Mr.. CSwRrdine said it was his duty
as minister Of the gospel to look the
situation squRrely in the face, without
equivOCation, his conscience not permit
ting him to keep silent. He wished Rev.
DR.. Oggle, who preached the Sunday
before, pleasant journey to ''the land
where strikes are unknown and the poor
always submit to the lords Of the soil, ("
and begged him ITO think on US occs-
sionRlV while we eat the half loaf that
is better than no bread" Continuing,
Mr.. CawRrdine said:
My conscience is clear. Ny congregation
has assured me Of its hearty sympathy.

keep still and smother my convictions.
You need not fear that the company Will re-
SaliAte upon ug aS O church for anything
may say. II dare mot in the face Of public
opinion. And, Let me add, If the fears OF
some Of you should ever be realized, better
thousand times that our church be disor-
ganized by the company than that we

American right 70 free speech, smother our
convictions, muzEle our mouths, faWn be-

After referring to Mr.. PullmRn's ad-
mittsd ability as q business man, raising
himself from Q poor boy in 9 country
town to his present position as head OF
Q great manufacturing industry, Mr..
CaWardins said:

Do Not Overload.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I notice the COM
munications in your last number de-
mRnding the insertion Of q female suf.
frage plank in the nexs Btats platform Of
the POpulist party Of this state. Many
Of US have been expecting that all sorts
Of schemes would be on hand when the
time came for the convention, to secure
an indorsemant at its hands. We have
just got q surCease Of clAmor for pro-
hibitiOn plank In the platform, and now
another similar and bipartisan gug-
gegtiOn is sprung upon us, I say nom
partisan because, like prohibition, it is q
constitutional question, and as such
should be non-psrtissn and treated out
side. OF party. I warn the convention
against listening to every one who has
an ak to grind, else we shall have ''con-
fusion worse confounded" in the can
Vaga, and that would be fatal TO success.
/ myself have several such that would
like 10 have ground, and oil embraced in
the category OF legitimate and necessary
legislation which, have no doubt, every
member Of q Populist convention would
approve. But they must bide their time,
for have faith that IL Populists succeed
at the next election, they are firmly and
solidly established in the state, and them
my reforms are assured. Therefore,
shall throw no stumbling block in their
way by an undue multiplication Of is
sues.
The canvass il going on sWimmingly;
then why Interject new and vsxed ques-
tions into itH Let US have q platform
that all are agreed on, and on every
plank Of which Rll POpulists can take
their stand without hesitation or quail
ACatiOn. A suffrage plank raises q new
issue and so prominent and sensational
that everything else becomes subordinate
to it and is thrown into the background.
Discussion will turn on this, and reforms
and economies be Eelegated to the rear.
We have heard much Of plutoCracy rails
ing false issues to draw the attention Of
the masses while it went through their
pockets by way OF legislation to that
end. II was not persuaded Of the good
faith Of those urging the suffrage plank,
/ should suspect the glOved hand Of the
capitalist and the millionaire In the
movement We shall have enough to
confront in the campaign without pro-
hibition or female suffrage. Let these
stand on their own bottom and fight the
battle on their own account.
As . noted Populist said At the birth
OF the party whsn it was proposed 10 In

DEAR UNCLE:-The trsmps who stole
q train at Pueblo, Colo, passed through
here in charge of United States officers
on their way TO Topeka There was
much excitement. The people hate the
railroad companies 90 bitterly for extor-
tions that their sympsthies are largely
with the thieves. Charging "sll the
traffic will bear" 10 producing ito legiti-
nate fruit. Public sentiment is usually
with the dead-beat who steals q ride,
and there is @ certain dash and brsvadO
about these bands that extorts sdmira-
tion. What to do with the scamps, is
the question. There has been much
talk about their having delayed the
United States mails, but that can never
be proved. Rather they can show that
they made use Of time cards and always
switched in time to let mail trains pass,
and that all delays have been caused by
the railroad itself in obstructing the
tracks in hopes Of stopping the run

whom CsligulR nodded his head OF

dictated was once done in Kansas with

obey the railroads. II they ask him to
act, ne wants to know by what authority
he may do such acts. To arrest men

Of the state house crowd. Such fRwning
