A CRISIS AT HAND.

Just before going to press we have
received reliable information showing
that all we have SAID respecting
Chairman Taubeneck and a few
other members of the Populist ma
tional committee is even short OF the
actual facts. The committee has is-
sued an appeal for funds to maintain
headquarters at Washington. It
should not receive a dollar. All ln-
dications point to the organic alton OF
q new party, and it is intimated that
If the reform press mot the ADVOCATE
understand, but the reform press Of
the country does not change front,
our party will be betrayed into the
hands Of the Philestines. The re
form press, 80 far as we know, is sus-
tanning the party principles without
a break, and it will not change front.
Max that. The facts will all be
made known at the reform press
meeting the 22d of this month. Let
everybody be there.

We could not understand this protest

understand why those who, through
the press, have urged adherence to
the Omaha platform 10 its entirety,
and denied the authority Of any body
to change it until the next national
convention shall assemble, should be
denounced as "crsnks;" and we could
not understand why the action of the
st. Louis conference in adhering
strictly to the platform of the party
should be denounced in the issue OF
January 25, as "a wicked and foolish
surrender to the Chicago socialists"
These things have led to our criti-
ciams Of the Watchmsn. Since

A NEW WORKHOOSE.

The proposed erection Of a new work
house for Kansas City should mark the ar
rival Of a new epoch in the history Of our
public structures. "ROrkhouse" has q
somewhat ugly sound, worse than "poor

conditions, and rsaks aud degrees, even
among W Jrkhouses. A Workhouse may be
a oredii to oisy, aud it may be, and fre-
q lently ls, disgrace. It may be pointed
at with pride or it may be source of shame
aud humilistion. IL is to be hoped that
Ks lsss City, in building this new work

and her own glory, and may steadfsstly re-

tslegrsphs and nothing short OF this
will be accepted by the masses OF the
party. The senator's fellow mem
bers of the other parties administered
to him a very proper rebuke at the
time when they showed that the doc
ument he was reading was not the
platform Of the Populist party nor
anything like it.
We shall not refer specifically to
the other sections of Senator Aliens
platform. It is significant, not only
for its perversion Of Populist doc
trine upon the transportation ques-
tion, but for it's absolute silence upon
the land question, which IN import
snce is inferior to no question in
volved in the real platforms of the
Populist party. IL Senator Allen

UPON DANGEROUS GROUND,

The Capital has nearly two col
umns Of double-lesded editorial in
the Sunday edition of February 3 in
which it holds that mortgsged prop"
erty sold under foreclosure should
satisfy the debt for which the mort
gage was created, and that no iudg'
ment should remain against the
debtor. This is a Populist doctrine
as old as the party, and the Capital
is liable to ruin the credit of the state
by advocating such a measure Of re-
pudistion.
The sage editor observes that it is
not the intention to attempt in this
article the discussion of the causes
that brought about the great depres-
sion in values of property, but to
simple call the attention of the legrs-
lature to the necessity of legislation
to make mortgsged property pay the
mortgage debt. There are two rea-
sons for not discussing the causes of
depression in values, either one Of
which is sufficient to excuse the Cap.
itsl. Tne first is that any intelligent
and honest discussion of these causes
would expose the iniquity of the re-
publican party; and the second is
that the Capital has neither the in-
telligence nor the hone sty to under
take such a discussion.

THE NATIONAL WATCAMAN ITSELF:
AGAIN.

The National Watchmsn, OF Feb
rusry l, is very explicit in defining
it's position, and the ADVOCATE hastens
to declare itself in entire accord with
that position as at last defined. The
three fur damental questions of land,
finance and transportation must be
adhered to, and we must hereafter be
even more expliclt in our declsrs-
tions upon the land and finance
questions than we have been hereto
fore. We must provide for reclaim
ing the land and making it in fact
the heritage Of all the people; and
we must not only demand postal saw
ings banks, but government banks
for the transaction of all Legitimate
banking busiue 8, 80 as to take the
manage ment and control of the fnsn-
cial affairs of the country entirely out
OF the hands of the pirates through
whose greed we have been brought
to the verge of national and individ-
nal bankruptcy. We hops to see the
next national convention take a bold
position upon these subjects. UntiI
that time the Omaha platform as it
is must be our war cry.
In it's issue Of January IL, the
Watchmsn SAID:
Thoae who fear q one-plank platform

immediate past. They would learn that thC

SENATOR ALIENS PLATFORM.

During q recent discussion in the
United States senate, Senator Allen
OF Nebraska, assumed the RESPONSE
bility Of presenting a platform con-
sisting of q number Of sections con-
secutiv.ly numbered and bearing the
appearance upon its surface of an
authentic document. Concerning it
he said:
have here embraced, in the pages which
I hold in my hand, the substance of the
doctrines Of the Populist party in this
country, as understand them to exist, and
shall read this paper. II there is q sena
tor in this chamber who can improve the
principles here laid down, should be glad
60 have him do 80 here and now, to the end
that the country may have the advantage
OF his great intelligence.
The first, second and third sections
relate to the question of finance, aud,
though the language is entirely diff
ferent from that of any platform ever
adopted by any Populist convention,
1t is very good Populist doctrine and
no one will quarrel with it psrticu-
larly because of It's departure from
the regular forms. The fourth Sec
ton declares that all taxes direct and
indirect should be limited to the ne
c4ssitles of government, and taVors
the graduated income tax.
The fifth and sixth seatiOns are as
follows:
s. All corporations must pc strictly con
Raed to the lsgi innate purposes OF their
creation, aud laws must be enacted for the
prohibition Of trusts and combinations
which iDjlriously affect commerce, labor
and industry.

ate and states that they embrace "thc
substance of Populist doctrine" upon
this important question he deliber'

His First Wife Was PetriAed.

A late copy of the Madras (India) Sun,
an Indian paper published in the English
language, contains the following:
At Runia in the Punjab a native who
had recently married for a second time
was importuned by his new wife to have
the remains of wife No. l remover from
their resting place near a mineral spring
and deposited in the village cemetery.
Preparations were made to that effect,
laborers opening the grave in the usual
manner. When the wickerwork basket
in which the woman had been inferred
was reached, and efforts made to raise it,
the weight Of the receptacle and it's CON
tents was found to be too heavy for the
four men engaged in the work and the ap-
pliance at hand. When the basket coffin
was finally hoisted to the surface one of
the laborers removed the lid to ascertain
the cause of the unusual weight. To the
surprise Of all it was found the coffin con-
tanned a solid stone figure, the corpse having
become perfectly petriied. The husband
removed the remains to his home, where
they now are, and it is said that thousands
are daily viewing the wonder.-St. Louis

ENTERTAINING ROYALTY.
Some of the Curious Rules That Arr OBJ
served at the Dinner Table.

Some of the Curious Rules That Are OBJ
served at the Dinner Table.
Many people are not aware what a bust
ness entertaining royalty is, how they are
hedged off by a hundred little o~bservances
from ordinary mortals and treated as if
they were a different order of beings en-
tlrely. If any one, for instance, is honored
by being allowed to entertain a prince and
princess at dinner, all the other guests in
vited to meet their royal highnesses are
asked for a quarter Of an hour before the
time, so that there may be no chance of
the illustrious guests waiting.
One very curious rule is that at dessert
none but the royal guests must have finger
glasses put before them. The origin of
this rather uncomfortable restriction is
interesting. At a time when Jacobites
were more common than they are now, and
when the chances Of rising in favor of the
Stuart %pretenders to the throne were not
altogether remote, certain highborn rebels
were accustomed to drink to the king,
holding their glasses over the water in the
finger glasses. And so, while apparently
drinking a loyal toast, they were really
drinking to "the king over the water"
When the ladies lave left the dining
room, a cigarette at the dinner table is the
invariable custom. The prince, whoever
he may be, must not be asked to light his
cigarette with an ordinary match, but has
a little spirit lighter handed him for his
sole use.
Upon I'M occasion, when the Prince of
Wales was dining in the hall of Trinity
college, Cambridge, in which it is consid-
cred by the dons q sort of sacrilege %
smoke, he was not offered the customary

graduate at the college and may have felt
some hesitation in defying the we'll known
custom.
But nature prevailed, and his royal high
ness pulled out his cigar case and lit up,
an example which was gratefully followed
by many of the other guests.-New York

Whittier and the OK.

When Whittier was a child, his father
had a pair of oxen named Buck and Old
Butler. They were treated almost as fam
lily pets, and as they lay on the hillside
chewing their cuds, the two boys, Green
leaf and Matthew, used them as armchairs,
sitting upon their foreheads and leaning
against their horns.
Old Butler once saved the future poets
life in a way that entities him to everlast-
ing remembrance. The story is told in MI.
Pickard's biography. The boy went to the
pasture with a bag of salt for the cattle.
Old Butler, from the hilltop, saw him
coming, and hurried down to meet him. 1t
happened that the slope was pretty steep,
and the heavy OK acquired such momen
tum that he found himself unable to stop,
A moment more and the boy would have
been crushed. But the OK pulled himself
together, leaped straight out into the air,
cleared the boys head, and came to the
ground far below with tremendous force,
but happily without harm.
In after life Whittier told another story
of Old Butler. Quaker meetings were
sometimes held in tho large Whittier kitch-
en-. On n such occasion, in summer Old
Butler put his head in at the open win
dow, as If curious to see what could be 60
Ing on. A sweet voiced woman happened
to be speaking, and the OK to all appear
ance paid strict attention. At all events he
stood m%otionless and silent till she sat
down.
Then II Of the brethren arose. His
loud voice had hardly begun to be heard,
however, before the o. withdrew his head,
lifted his tail in air, and went off below
Ing. The children, and perhaps some of
the grown people, were greatly amused by
this bit of bovine criticism Com

Green Hair.

According to The Medical Press, green
ish hair i'll men occupied in copper works
and in copper mines is not unknown, for
rs far back rs 1864 Bartholin drew atten-
ton to its occurrence. Since then several
other observers have recorded instances Of
the same. The most recent case is that of
DR.. OppenEeimcr's, who, at a meeting of
the Johns Hopkins Hospital Medical So
ciety, showed a specimen of green hair OBJ
tanned from a patient who had been under
his treatment. The hair was a pale but
distinct green, this color being moro
marked on the head and the mustache.
But, %curiously enough, in the hair all over
the body the same celebration was display
ed. Copper was easily demonstrated
chemically. Microscopically the hair was
uniformly colored, no crystals being seen
anywhere. The patient did not return
after his first visit, and it was ascertained
that he died two years later with a severe
cough. The fact, however, is certain that
workers in copper works need not neces-
sarily become affected with the poisonous
metal, provided that scrupulous cleanli-
ness is observed. The hair must be wash
ed daily in a solution of soda, ordinary
water being useless for the purpose. Elk
perience shows that the part first to be-
come affected is the mustache, and next
the head, but if the latter be protected by
9 thick cap no coloration Is produced.

4 CAMPAIGN TRICK.
Getting the Best of an Abusive Adversary
In Kentucky.

In Kentucky.
The following story is told by Edward
j. McDermott in an article entitled Fun
on the Stump in The Century:
A few years ago q plain country doctor
and a Mr.. May, who was fond Of iewelry
n wore a valuable diamond stud in his
shirt bosom, were running for the legisla-
ture in n Of our counties. The race was
c'pse and hot. AT one speaking tho doctor
ado the following fierce n dangerous
rust at his opponent: "Fellow citizens,
,un't you want an honest man in the
legislatureP OF course you do. Now what
sort OF man is my %opponents Why, gentle
men, look at that magnificent diamond he
wearsl 1t Is almost as big and bright az
the headlight on a locomotive. Your eyes
can hardly stand It's glare. It is worth
hundreds-maybe thopsands-of dollars.
At what valuation doyou suppose he has
put 1t for taxation in his return to the
state assessorP Why, at the pitiful sum of
$20!' The crowd yelled for the doctor.
Three days later the two met again in
joint debate. Again the doctor took up his
telling theme and held forth eloquently
and p~assionately In denunciation Of dis
honesty and diamonds and false ASSESS
ments, and then he again told Of Mays
false return to the assessor. ''Look at that
gorgeous pin, gentlemen! My eyes can
hardly endure its dazzling rays. Solomon
in all hts glory
"Hold on there, dootor!' said May. "Do
you mean to say this pin is worth more
than $2O?'
"Yes, / do-2O times or 80 times s2Oi'
"Would you give $40 for it, doctor"
"Of course I would"
"Well, you can nave it for that"
"All right" said the doctor, and he
hurriedly counted out the money and took
the pin. Then May rose to speak, and the
crowd oheered him. He was undoubtedly
"game'' and honest. He was willing to
take what he said the pin was worth. he
was elected. A week after the election he
called on the doctor and said: doctor, I
don't want to rob you Of your money.
Here's your $40. That pin you bought was
paste. I got 1t in Louisville after your first
speech. Here is my real diamond. If I can
ever serve you, let me know"
