The session of the populist state conven-
tion to which the committees report on
platform was reported on June 1S discussed
the minority report, the suffrage plank, hve
hours, hot and fast.
When the vote upon its adoption was
reached it stood 337 for and 269 against; and
SO became the first plank of the platform 10
be adopted.
The women from other states who oe,
seiged the republican convention we're az
present during the populist convention ana
some of them promised to stump Kansas 1of
the populist state ticket if the popullst con
vention declared for suffrage. This innu-
enced great many votes
There were the same arguments useo
against pStting in the plank as we're used oy
the repubiicans-viz: that the question 10
fundamental and non partisan, and should
be voted upon without partisan endorsement
by any party.
1t was argued by strong eufragists that
partisan adoption of the doctrine in party
platform, though it might increase the vote
of the party adopting it, would really lessen ,
the aggregate vote for the amendment ltselT
and might endanger it at the polls.
There were others. in both conventions
who believed and argued that losses to the
party championing the amendment Woulo
be greater than the gains made.
The Kansas blackman., 1894-06-15
Other Resolutions.

j. F. Mcdonald, of Bourbon, presented
the following anita. 2. A. resolution IN the
populist state convention.
The peoples party of Kansas having
learned with deep regret that new ele-
ment has risen up in our country and we
believe for the purpose of creating discord
in the ranks of our party and for the pur-
pose of disrupting all labor organizations,
its purpose is to arraign one class of cltl-
zens against another on account of relig-
ious faith.
Resolved, That the peoples party, as its
name implies, is the party of the people and
hence the enemy of oppression and tyranny
in every form and we do most emphat-
ically condemn such conduct as unchrls-
tain, un-American, and is totally opposed
to the spirit of the constitution of our cOun-
try and we pledge out best efforts to defeat
the purpose of such organizations and to
protect as far as we are able every lndlvld-
ual of every nationality, religious creed
and political belief in his sacred right tC
worship God according to the dictates of his
own conscience.
This raised storm and the anti Catholics
succeeded in moving that it be tabled, thus
shutting off discussion. The motion to lay
on the table was lost by vote of 298 to 218
The resolution was then carried almost
unanimously.
G. C. Clemens introduced the following
Resolved, By the peoples party in con
vention assembled, that we demand of Gov
ernor l.. D Lewelling that he Immediately
proceed to investigate the charges hlet
against the management of the state peni
tentiary, to the end that the party may purge
itself of incompetent or dishonest appointee'
If any such have been elevated to positions
This was tabled with a big vote.
Andrew Shearer, of Marshall county, of
fered this
Resolved, That we favor the state man
agement of the liquor traffic with all neces
sary restrictions regarding its sale and en-
tirely eliminating the element of profit

STOCK AND FARM.

Wheat harvest has commenced in
Sumner county in earnest. The dry
weather ripened the grain very fast, and
much wheat is already in the shock. The
yield promises to be good.
Cedar Vale Commercials: G. w. Ly-
ons was in from Mr.. Wilson's farm on
Grouse creek. He reports the frost so
severe out there that it has damaged
the wheat to such an extent it is being
cut up for hay.
Valley Falls Vindicator: NJ. Blue,
one of our best farmers, tells us that he
is plowing under bis wheat crop, and
that the chinch bugs have gone into his
adjoining corn field in such numbers
that he will have to replant some of his
corn.
Cedar Vale Commercial: The drouth
in Arizona is driving the cattle out of
the country. W. c. Webb formerly of
this county, but who has been in the
cattle business there for years shipped
a train load into Moline lately and will
fatten them on the Gibson ranch.
Anthony Bulletin: Harper county
will make a record this year on small
fruit, and the prospects for fair apple
crop is good. Cherries are on the mar
ket and are plentiful. of good size and
delicious flavor. Potatoes have never
grown better, and if nothing happens TO
the late potatoes, the crop will be the
most bountiful in years. In fact, every
thing that was properly planted . do
ing nicely.
| From Abilene: The experiment sta
ton for the killing of chinch bugs, es-
tablished by the county commissioners
of Dickinson county. under the manage
ment of Prof. f. C. Hickey. formerly
field agent under Chancellor Snow, il
proving a big success. At first the
farmers were unwilling TO bring the
bugs, but now they are more than eager
for them. Several fields have been saved
and diseased bugs are being sent ont
from the central aud sub-stations daily
All are asked to report results and these
are uniformly favorable. w. J. Roberts,
near Dillon, saws he cleaned an entire
wheat field and saved il. The station
costs the county 800 month for three
months

BENEFITS and Gannon's companies are IN a
forlorn condition. They go hungry some
parts of every day, and all day, some days.
4 gang of them captured saloon near BY

There was quite scene IN the camp
Of the Sanders army of wealers at Fort
I,eavenworth, when three OF the men
made an attempt to pass the deputies
guarding the army. wholesale break
awav was at one time imminent. but
the deputy marshals finally succeeded
in holding the men.
Mavor Smith, of Emporia, introduced
a novel proposition in the city council
which seems to meet with favor from all
classes of citizens. 1t is to do away with
charging water license and make water
free to all A three-mill tax on the SlOO
he claims will pay all cost OF running
the works, besides gradually paying off
all Indebtedness on the city water
works. So far as known here no other
city does this.
From Goodland: The people of Sher-
man county have concluded the rain
makers are frauds. At meeting OF the
farmers of the county resolution was
adopted as follows: "That the expert
ments of the rain-makers have been det-
rimental to the crop pros poets and that
instead of any rain being produced the
gases sent up had produced heavy wind
and cold weather and that committee
be formed and wait upon these gentle
men and notify them to quite the busi-
ness"
The annual debate for the Hood prizes
in the college of Emporia took place at
Austin chapel. The subject of the de-
bate was unknown to the contestants,
until announced from the platform. 1t
was: rs the condition of the country
such as to warrant congress in levying
an income taxi" On the affirmative were
Messrs. E. P. Shier anG Frank Mason
negative, Samuel Ward and John Ed
wards. First prize was $50, and was
awarded to Frank Mason, and second
$40 to John Edwards. Major Calvin
Hood furnished the prizes.
A number of gentlemen in the two
Kansas Citys have organized company
for the purpose of building boats to run
on the Missouri and Kaw rivers, and will.
as soon as the boats are completed, es-
tablish regular line from Atchison and
from Lawrence. The boats are to be
used for the purpose of carrying freight
and passengers to and from places where
they touch. The especial use for which
they are now being built is the carrying
of the light vegetables to market from
the various points along the Kaw river
west of the city. Contracts have been
made already with number of the fruit
growers for the carrying of their croE
to the city. One of the boats has al
ready been completed. 1t is sixty five
feet long and nine feet wide and is ca.
pable of carrying an enormous load O.
} freight. 1t is the purpose of the com
pany to also construct barges, on which
the heavier crops can be loaded ano
brought to the local market. The com.
pany will arrange to load the vessels al
points up the river and then steam dowr
and reach the market early in the morn
ing. They claim they will be able tx
get the product to the market easier
cheaper, and in better condition thar
can possibly be done when it is trans
ported in wagons or in cars. Landing
places will be arranged at every thre
mile station on the river, and the com
pany expects to soon build up a flourish
ing trade.

Fred-J. Close, chairman of the commit
tee of the populist state convention on per-
manent organization presented unani,

more as permanent chairman and Ben Z.
Rich permanent secretary.
Messrs. Close and Doster were instructed
to escort the chairman and secretary to the
rostrum. They we're introduced by tempor,
airy Chairman Henderson, who remarked
that the selection of Dunsmore as chairman

conduct of the sheriff of Shawnee county.
Ben Rich named Charles S. Davis, o.
Geary, and Harry Freese, of Ellis, as assist
ant secretaries.
