To the Editor:
There is one question to which I wish to
call the attention of such Populists as E.
w. V. Harvey, DR.. Johnson, o. H. Page.
E. w. Davidson, H. V. Poore and all other
writer's for the Representative, and that is
the effort to sidetrack the Peoples party
by giving up all the great fundamental
original principles of the party to CONSOLE
date on free silver alone.
To all such tomfoolery I am everlasting
ly opposed. and if the leaders of the party
are led astray by the Establishments of the
silver barons they can count me out.
The Peoples party will suffer dissolution,
disappear like a summers dew in a July
sun, if they are led astray by the Delilahs
and Judas Iscar:ots of the money power.
If the silver senator's, who make such
fine speeches in favor of silver and threat
en- to start a new party unless their de-
mands are complied with, were in favor of
our other demands, they would join the
party which has espoused the cause of free
silver and already has nearly 2,000, 900 votes

Representative had something to say in
regard to Gov. Tillman as candidate for
president on the Populist ticket While 1
think he is a great and brave man, yet
do not consider him straight Peoples
party man. He was elected as governor
also senator, pla torn containing the
demands of the Ocala convention, which
were practically the same as the Omaha
PLATFORM but since his election as United
States senator he comes out in a letter
saying he thinks the Peoples party should
cast aside most of the planks of the Omaha
platform and, concentrate on something not
so radical
The old party papers quote him as talk
ington, and there is no slurs of His

thought Gov. Tillman to be a radical of the

Debts.

Laws suggested 1Or Correction of
Debts.
To the Editor:
Allow me to call your attention to some
new laws and some amendments to old
laws which ought to be passed by this leg
islature They are of general interest, I be-
lieve, and l would like to get the Peoples
party members of the house ard senate in
terested in them.
The first one which 1 wish you would
take hold of is a law making the transfer
of stock in corporation absolutely void ex-
cept when made on the books of the COM
pany. This is really intended by sections
and ia, chapter "a, General Statutes 1873
but the supreme court has legislated these
sections out of existence. One can now
hold thousand Of dollars worth of stock in
a corporation and yet not pay his grocery
bills, as there is no way of attaching the
stock without attaching the certificates
and the certificates you cannot get hold of
unless the man is willing to give them up.
When the officer comes with an execution
he generally turns them over to his wife,
or the children, or some friend and you
cannot prove that the transfer was not
bona fde. Moreover, the stock books of a.
corporation ought to be made public rec

spectiOn for anybody, and the refusal to
allow the books to be inspected ought to be
made crime. A creditor a prospective
creditor of the company is entitled to know
whom he can hold and whom he is dealing
with.
The leading supreme court decisions on
the sections above referred to are: Bald

ST. Paul Distillng Company, A Minnesota.
1873; Lund VS.. Wheaton, ETC., Company. 20
Minnesota, 36. ...t ~
The next law which ought to be enacted
Is one allowing parties to recover damages
in any way resulting from the sale of in
toxicating liquors. Laws covering this
point are enacted in nearly every state ex
cept Minnesota. Relating to this matter

The First kiss

Sweetheart, twas but while ago--it scarce
seems yesterday,
Though now my locks are white as snow and all
your curls gray
When, walking in the twilight haze ere stars
had smiled above,
1 whispered soft. II love YOU" and you kissed
me for that love!
The first kiss. dear! and then your hand-your
little hand sweet,
And whittier than the white white sand that
twinllled meath your feet
Laid tenderly within my own. Have queens
such lovely hands?
No wonder that the poor whip poor-wills made
sweet the autumn lands!
1t seemed to me that my poor heart would beat
to death and break
While all the world, sweetheart! sweetheart!
seemed singing for your sake;
And every rose that barred the way in glad and
dying grace,
Forgot its faded day and. leaning
kissed your face!
envied all the roses then, and all the rosy ways
That bOSsomed for your sake are still my lifc'S
bright yesterdays
But, linking of that first sweet kiss and that
first clasp of hands,
Lies whip-poor- sing sweeter now through
all the winter lands.

ALI on Account of the Tariff.

In this song I've selected a subject quite
new.
And it's all on account of the tariff.
The political pots in a terrible stew,
And it's all on account of the tariff!
The old party bosses from Cleveland to
Reed
Have let honor and justice and right go
to seed;
And they ask the dear people to follow
their Lead
And It's all on account of the tariff
CHORUS.
The tariff. the tariff,
It's all on account of the tariff,
The tariff! the tariff!
A funny old thing is the tariff.
The Republicans set up terrible yell
All on account of the tariff

And the father of it was the tariff
And he christened his kid reciprocity
And it played the old nick with the tariff

backs.
For it proved by free sugar twas only

And it played the old nick with the tariff.

Then he will make donation to keep out

She pulled out my hair, she drummed on

Marvellous stories told by the antipo-

ounces of gold were "dolled" in four or
five weeks.

visited the mine, says: Less than three
tons had been broken when I saw it. and

An even more wonderful discovery has
been made north of Coolgardie. Four hun

of thousands can be accommodated in
